I may have missed something but didn't David only send off Lily's swab ?

I am a tad confused now. We had all that fuss with Tyrone saying that he'd have to get married to a woman he was scared off just because she never put his name on the birth certificate, and because in the eyes of the law being a loving gentle father means much less then being a volatile violent mother who beats up the father and could be a possible danger to the baby. Tyrone couldn't possibly do a test done to prove he was ruby's father without Kirsty's permission because he could be done for assault, but now David is doing a paternity all on his own accord! This begs the question: why couldn't Tyrone do this instead of the whole charade of pretending he wanted to marry Kirsty?

At the end of the last epidsoe David posted the swabs. That was the same episode in which Hayley went to the cancer support group for the first time.

The people she met turned up in today's episode asking how Roy had been since yesterday when they were at the group. So that means David posts the results one day and gets them back BY POST the next day.

Royal Mail and DNA lab are super quick!

Why can the scriptwriters just not be a bit real with their timings.

That was a plain white envelope that Leanne handed to Gail. Whenever I have had to sign for a letter it has a recorded or registered sticker on it.

I think it might be to do with the fact that Tyrone wasn't named as Ruby's father on the birth certificate, whereas David was.

Could someone with experience in the pub trade explain how michelle (or even steve as owner) could have their name over the door?

And can they leave tina in charge when she doesn't (as far as we know) have a Personal Licence?

Nor do michelle or steve, of course.

fayemian · 14/10/13 - 01:37

Michelle's dad. need i elaborate? :rolleyes:

ewoodie · 14/10/13 - 03:00

Furniture.

What happened to Stella's and what happened to Michelle's? Eva turned up for her hair straighteners, which she'd left under her bed.

Yes, it usually has a great orangy sticker covering half the ruddy envelope :eek:

Yes. It was a completely plain white windowed envelope with no markings of any type on the front or back. No stickers. No stamp. No postmark. No franking mark. No return address. The guy delivering it stated to Audrey that it quite mattered to him who signed for it - i.e. the correct recipient. Then he takes David's nanosecond illegible squiggle as acceptable by saying " A squiggle is fine with us - we're not fussy."

im completely baffled as to why gail felt the need to hide tge envelope when she heard kylie coming down the stairs. it was a plain envelope. she could have passed it off easily if kylie gad been nosy enough to ask her what it was!!

I saw a letter like that once in 'Acorn Antiques'

Did it come by Royal Mail or by courier? I'd have thought by courier, and the few I've had delivered that way and had to sign for haven't had anything on them other than my name and address and an identifying number also in the address panel - not even a frank or stamp. The envelopes were completely plain.

If Gail hadn't hidden it Kylie couldn't find it ... accidentally!

I see that Steve took delivery of "the books" - and no mention of stock-taking. I'd have thought that said "books" would have gone to the Accountant to get them up-to-date to the sale (any ideas who the Accountant might be? Tina? Eileen? Faye? Gail? Silly me - got to be Sally!)

Everyone knows the job was hers.

There was nothing to stop him but he already knew the results. As someone mentioned he wasnt named as the father so if he used the results to proove he was the father, it would be seen as inappropriate because in the eyes of the law he wasnt her father. Any dna obtained without kirstys consent would be invalid in law. David isnt doing anything further with the results therefore it isnt a problem.

MartinRosen · 14/10/13 - 16:38

I know nothing about DNAs, but when David read the letter and it said there was a 99.99...% charge that he is the father - could it possibly be that if Nick had submitted a swab then it would be 100% ??

As they are brothers, is it possible their DNAs could be similar?

I suspect he also enclosed his own as well, which he obviously would be able to obtain without too much difficulty

They have different fathers (Nick is Brian Tilsley'son and David is Martin Platt's) so they're only half-brothers and their DNA would be very different.

Okay, thanks for the reminder.

But do you know if they were blood brothers could a DNA sample be 100% ?

Ive seen on jeremy kyle brothers who do dna tests and it comes out as a positive result for a relative but never high enough to confirm paternity.

With nick being a half sibling it would be even less.

Of course with this being a soap it will probably end up being nicks baby anyway!

According to a dna testing company i found online, blood brothers are close so often they need a sample from each brother to confirm which is the match.

If only one brother is available then they can do further tests on the one brother to confirm paternity. So a simple one off swab wouldnt be enough. Luckily for corrie they are half brothers so they got around that one!

One one episode of teen mom i saw, a young mum was trying to get money from the government for her child but they needed proof that the man she claimed was the father, was in fact the biological father. He had died while she was pregnant but the dna company said a sibling dna sample would be enough to proove paternity since he only had sisters any high percentage match would mean he was the father.

She could have even put it in her cardigan. the whole bouncy deer act towards the DVD was horrendous.

Is the difference that David is married to Kylie and Tyrone wasn't? I am not sure now.
