Erm, what has happened to Kevin`s baby whose name I have completely forgotten?
How does Carla manage to afford so many very short notice transatlantic flights?

    Baby Jack always seems to be left with other people but is hardly mentioned while Kevin is in the pub and in regards to Carla, its the same with every soap, people can get flights, visas etc on the same day with no hassle at all!!!

    Thats soapland for you! :p

    Kevins baby called Jack, who is looked after by a babysitter that looks after him day/night, he/she never has time off or a social life because he/she seems to always look after Jack

    Jack, kids go missing all the time in soaps

    She owns her own business for now, flights to LA are quite reasonable, but remember
    she doesn't really fly, its soapland prices

    If kids go missing all the time in soaps can I volunteer Simon to do it properly this time and throw himself off Blackpool pier?

    Perhaps Carla has a lot of air miles to use up?

    How can Kylie suddenly up sticks and fly off with Max-hay to Barbados around the expensive Christmas period when she was moaning not long ago she was skint?

    Where is baby Hope whilst Fiz is up to her stupid shennanigans with Dolt Boy?

    Why do Jenna and Mandy constantly hang around the Rovers even over Christmas, do they have no home or friends and family - apart from Lloyd of course??

    She gets tanked up on red bull and it gives her wings. No flight costs.

    Kids do go missing all the time on soaps. Didn't Sophie go upstairs for something and come back down a year or so later when they re-cast with Brooke Vincent? (I remember hearing that somewhere).

    They had a stroller on the other day and Kevin was pushing it. But then he left it and he and Sophie went to go talk to Jenna. Thankfully Sally was there to watch Baby Jack (without being asked).

    As for the Carla thing, yes the poster that said they can get last minute flights and everything with no problem is right. I think thanks to Rob and Michelle, Carla can now actually afford to fly since they saved the business from where she was driving it straight into the ground.

    That was Tracy Barlow in the mid 80s.

    Oh I think I;m the only one who feels sorry for little Simon! Imagine having to put up with Carla for a step mum and a father who cant keep his trousers up, rolls up drunk to your school, nearly sets fire to you and kills your rabbit.

    1. It never shows her booking her flight, just off to the airport. Ok, maybe she is going for a last minute deal, but then that leads to....
    2. You now need an ESTA visa to travel to the States, which can be applied for and paid for online. Problem with that is they can take up to 72 hours, they are not always instantaneous. No visa, no entry

    Once you've got an ESTA they're valid for two years, so you don't need to reapply for every visit as long as it's within that time period and you haven't needed to renew your passport. :)

    Can't a mere arrest prevent you from getting an ESTA? God knows what effect being on trial for murder would have. And didn't she at one stage get a drink driving conviction?

    I know she was acquitted of the murder charge, but I don't think that matters to americans.

    She went upstairs to play some tapes (which she called "teeeeeeeeeeps";)) and stayed there for about 8 years!

    Kevin was pushing him in a pushchair the other day and he looked like he was about ten months old. He's got to be at least two (years) now, surely?

    He was born in September 2010 so you're right - he's 2.

    Jack is with the unseen character of such awesome power that no one can even refer to them by their real name; Jack is with "The Child Minder."

    Remember that guy that did an impression of Kevin on Britain's Got Talent a few years back?

    "I'm not doing this for Sopheh and I'm not doing it for L'oseh! I'm doin' it for our Jack...He's gonna fix cars like me...I do MOTs...I get crushed by them....EVERYYYYYDAY!"
