Carla was really bitchy to Maria when she said Frank had raped her so isn't she being a little hypocritical expecting Maria to support her now he's raped her?

Frank never raped Maria. He tried to but she got away and Carla was initially really supportive. She encouraged Maria to report him, gave her time off etc... it was after a few weeks in which she spent most days with Frank that she started to doubt Maria's story and we all know how manipulative Frank is.
I'm not saying Carla was right in how she ended up treating Maria, just that maybe it wasn't entirely her fault.
As for her phoning Maria last night I don't think it was in any way hypocritical. Maria is the only one who knows what Frank is really like. To everyone else he's a good guy but Maria knows the truth and she knows first hand how frightened Carla must have been. She was the only one who would believe without question.
On a different note, I wonder if little Liam will be moving in aswell...

lol I knew Peter wouldn't be able to stay away. It's quite cruel of Leanne to try and make him actually.

Nearly as cruel as using the opportunity of a miscarraige, to ask your mates husband to leave her for you.

Yeah but she is a damaged person. She is in love with Peter. Yeah sure if we look at it from our point of view it was not really a nice thing to do, but Carla is manipulated and hurt.
Philip Lowrie was on Loose Women today and apparently we are going to find out more about his past soon

He didn't try to. That's what Maria would have us believe. He came on a bit strong, that's all.

Of course he did. It was a foreshadowing of the fact he actually would rape someone.

I don't think the scene was done that well tbh but I think he did try to as he kept pushing her down on to the sofa after she tried to leave. Will be interesting to see if this goes to trial if other women come forward I guess.

If was trying to rape her, he would have succeeded.

He pulled himself back. With Carla he was too angry to control himself. Men don't just become rapists, there are always signs inadvance.

thanks, I'm glad he'll be getting more screentime, I hope that he sticks around!
We'll probably find out what happened his wife & kids.
PS thanks ElleBelle for the spoilers!

Very true! I really like Carla, but the way she has behaved towards Leanne is totally unforgivable and Leanne would have every right to want nothing more to do with her and to want her to stay out of her and Peters lives. Yes Carla is going through a terrible time and of course you can feel sorry for her but nothing would make her happier then to see Leanne and Peter split up so it's understandable why Leanne might not be all hearts and flowers towards her to say the least.

wow, remind me never to go on a date with you!
About Maria, what right did it give him to do that? She told him over and over she wasn't intersted and already had a boyfriend, but he kept trying it on. If she didn't manage to fight him off, it would of led to rape.

Uh, no. Believe it or not, men can attempt to rape women without being successful, because the women manage to fight them off and escape. Which is what Maria did. Frank pinned her down and groped her while she struggled and fought and shouted for him to get off. That is a sexual assault. If she hadn't kneed him hard enough to escape, would he have stopped? It didn't look like it to me. He did a lot more than just come on a bit strong.

She might be background that week. It could just be her recuperating.
Anyone else not have any sympathy for Becky atm? Yes, I empathize she can't have kids, but she is divorcing Steve so his having a kid to someone else isn't really any of her business anymore. Especially to the extent where she can go around acting like a brat, and have people saying how Tracey is the terrible one. Hello, Steve and Becky had split up when Tracey got pregnant.
I don't blame Tracey rubbing it in tbh. Becky was the woman who tried to run off abroad with Amy a few months back, so that Tracey would never see her again. Becky is no victim in this, if she wants to blame anyone then blame Steve. He was the one who messed up their marriage, not Tracey.

Yes, she seems to have conveniently forgotten that she went on holiday with another bloke, then shagged Nick, before Steve slept with Tracy.
But Steve and Tracy are well out of order?!

Tell me, with best friends like that who needs enemies? Everyone seems to make excuses for her on here, she's damaged, vunreble, and the worst one' just being honest with Peter'.
No, she's doing exactly what she did with Liam, deciding she wants someone elses husband and doing everything she can to split them up, even taking advantage of a miscarraige/stillbirth.
If that doesn't work, use someone else to get them jealous.
I quite like the character of Carla, but can't understand why she gets a free pass every time she acts abhorrently.
In real life she would have got a punch in the face by now, several times.
