It started off deliciously dark and gothic but it's veered into bad sitcom territory. I like Ron but her ordering Nick into his room was daft and WTF has it got to do with Phil?
Nail on the head.
What a mess of an episode last night....and they'd been doing so well with the s/l up to now.
Nick has to hide because he has committed fraud after taking part in a robbery.
Dot's always been weak as far as Nick's concerned - her not kicking him out or turning him into the police is perfectly in character.
If you find this storyline unbelievable then god knows what you must have thought of the Dotty one. Now that was far-fetched; a young girl behaving like some master criminal. Nick 'faking' his death isn't that far-fetched as he's known for scams.
John Altman's hammy acting is part of Nick's charm. I'm enjoying his current stint, personally, and I think the humour is intentional. It's classic Nick and Dot.
They should never have put Ronnie & Charlie together in the first place; the Story would be more convincing if Stacey or Sonia was Charlie's girlfriend, but that's just my opinion.

Sonia, really? I mean anyone fancying her would be unconvincing. But hey, that's just my opinion!

I was fine with it until last night, in fact really enjoying it. But then we had Phil breaking into Dot's house and laying down the law, followed by Ronnie deciding what should happen in Dot's house without consulting her. Mitchell arrogance at it's worse....two criminals laying down the law to an old lady and her son.
EE's asks us to believe loads of unrealistic stuff; gangsta Phil, super stud Max to name but a few. Nick is dark comedy gold, he is the master of manipulation with Dot; I'm happy to go along for the ride and I'm hoping he and Yvonne will stay on the square. I love his one liners / put you downs
It's one of the worst storylines ever, imo. Just ridiculous. They apparently already gave him 10 grand to get rid of him and he blew the money so now they think giving him another 10k is going to solve all their problems??? wtf are they on. Plus the whole rubbish of keeping him locked in his room after 6pm is just laughable.

I'm not keen on Phil's involvement either. It feels like it's being done for the sake of it when Nick and Phil haven't crossed paths that much in the past.

The after 6 thing makes Nick sound like Gizmo from the Gremlins.
This storyline is confusing it had such a big build up to his return on Halloween the scary night of the year but ever since then hes just been hiding out in Dot's smoking **** all day long WTF is going on?. They need to do something as Nick's return is looking like its failed
I'm expecting for everyone in the Square, one by one, to find out that Nick is still alive and hiding in Dot's house. This includes Bert, Ernie, and Beth. Every new person that finds out has to undergo a debriefing in Dot's living room on getting enough money for Nick to leave and for heaven's sake not to tell anyone else! The one person on the Square remaining who has not yet found out about Nick will be the person who killed Lucy.

Didn't Phil trick them and just give blank paper? Hence why Nick came back?
I do agree that it's been a terrible storyline so far though. I can cope with some really poor ones but this is just far too boring. I know there's probably much more coming but at the moment it's just awful and dragging the show down.
Was any of the Mitchells in the cafe when it was held hostage? Would Phil even care about Nick? Is Nick meant to be the new Steve Owen and Derek Branning? Why did nick fake his death in the first place? Why hasn't anyone reported him to the police? whos body did they cremate / bury?
If this can happen, I'm sure Kathy could pop back.

Nothing.
As another poster said it was just another excuse for TPTB to show how awesome their living God is.

That's why Nick is still safe. Phil can't use Alfie for back up as he's otherwise engaged.

He'll send his heavies round to do that for him.^_^

I love the dynamic between Nic, Yvonne, Dot, Ronnie and Charlie aswell
On paper it shouldn't work but it just does IMO
Dot and ronnie are in do dos for perverting the course of justice.
Lol that made me laugh, and on a serious note stacey or sonia doesn't sound convincing at all tbh

You're welcome.
