im still confused, one minute shes returning in summer the next she isnt.
so is patsy palmer returning or not
No, there's only ever been one story and that's that her contract being up coincided with her maternity leave so she's holding off on signing a new contract until she's ready to return to work. It basically means she can have extended maternity leave longer than the usual 6-9 months.

so basically she can return at any time evan if that. I think EE needs to start doing temporaly recastings with all these actressses being pregnant, american and aussie shows do this afterall.

Normal maternity leave can be up to 12 months now. As you say, though, with contracts like this things are no doubt different.

Of course, if Patsy's contract has expired, she won't receive Statutory Maternity Pay from the BBC. In these tough times, Patsy may be glad to go back to her well-paid job as quickly as possible.

What other source of income does she have? I imagine a family of 6 in Brighton would find it quite hard to get by on just a taxi driver's wage.

in the last two to three years she'd have earned about half a millon.. so having time off with her baby wouldn't be a problem... plus after being out of the show for a good few years...she'd have known to build a nest eggg when she returned
Hope she comes back before the end of 2011

EE actors are paid by the episode. These six figure sums you hear about are just the value of their contract were they to appear in the designated no. of episodes. Some actors end up appearing in less episodes than their contract is worth and are therefore paid accordingly. As Patsy appears a lot I'm sure she has earnt a tidy sum but it won't last forever. She returned in the first instance because she was broke and that was after being in EE for six years originally.
Patsy has confirmed she is returning but no timeframe has been given.
The whole has been implausible because the actress was about to give birth. She wouldn't still be banged up all these weeks later she'd be out on bail given that it was her first offence. An accidentail swipe of a copper at Christmas wouldn't mean she'd be refused bail. As usual though EE has reverted to its stupidly inexplicable idea of living in its own fantasy world with its own laws as opposed that exist in real life.

With all due respect but are you a viewer?
1. It didn't happen at Christmas.
2. Bianca refused the bail, not the other way round. Ricky said she preferred to do her time now rather than later.

No more ridiculous than Tracy in Corrie being let out of prison - despite everyone knowing she murdered someone.

Yes I'm a viewer so when was the swipe at the copper? As for doing time now rather than later she'd still have to go through the legal process meaning she'd be entitled to bail and at the end of the trial the judge would decide whether she had done enough time served to be released. EE does the usual silent thing with no news on the subject not even Ricky seeing Bianca's lawyer and not even a letter to her children no update nothing. It's almost as it Bianca has gone to Australia on holiday like Ricky told the DI bloke who came around. It's a ludicrous way of completing a storyline and does not bear the remotest resemblance to reality.
As I have said before Patsy will be back when the money dries up. She admitted herself thats the only reason she returned in 2008 on some channel 5 TV show I watched a few years ago.

Ricky went to visit Bianca in one episode last week actually.
Do you watch the show? Bianca refused bail so she can do her time now rather than later.
She may not have been convicted yet but she's not naive enough to think she won't face a prison term for the attack on Connor. If she takes bail immediately after only being away for a couple of days then it doesn't take Einstein to work out this won't be enough for her to be released at the end of the trial due to the time served already.
And a trial wouldn't happen right away. So no EE haven't got their facts wrong. You have.
More importantly it's not real and the story is to facilitate the actress going on maternity leave.
Given Patsy Palmer had to leave so suddenly, EE did as good a job as possible with the episodes.
