Thanks for the updates spoilers.

Obviously I am a bit biased (pokes username) and I do understand Leanne being a bit suspicious especially after Franks allegations... but seriously, Carla has just been raped, no matter how you feel (assuming she is going to be angry) the woman has just gone through hell...

I have worried about how Leanne is going to come off in all this. From the spoilers already posted it gives the impression she doesn't really support Carla at all which I really hope isn't the case because if it is then I don't see how their friendship can ever be salvaged.
I did expect Leanne to be more sympathetic given what her sister went through. If she fails to support Carla she's going to seriously plummet in my opinion of her.

Yup, agree

Thank you ElleBelle for posting these spoilers!

From what I have read, (http://queencarla.tumblr.com/) Leanne is going to find out about Carla Driving, and Frank will accused Peter and Carla of sleeping together, so I can imagine she would be upset, I just think that treating Carla the way I am thinking she is going to.. well she has just been bloody raped... its horrendous

Those spoilers kind of suggest that Leanne might be the one that triggers the suicide attempt what with her storming in and interrupting Peter and Carla after he finds her distressed in the street. I imagine a furious Leanne will throw/push Carla out and she'll end up on her own and in desperate need of help but with noone to talk to, leading to the overdose.
I was really hoping this storyline would help patch up Leanne and Carla's friendship but obviously it's not meant to be just yet. Maybe Leanne will be more supportive after the suicide attempt...

Maybe. I hope Leanne does not suggest Carla did it as an attention thing, as that would really be cruel

I really hope Leanne wouldn't sink to that level. One of the spoilers said something like 'Peter and Leanne anxiously wait for news on Carla' or words to that effect so perhaps she's not so unsupportive.

Yeah, I suppose we will just have to wait and see.

Its going to be a gritty two weeks

Thursdays episode:

Ah those clips are creepy

What exactly is his ultimatum?

Leanne will know by then that Carla was responsible for the car crash so maybe she'll want to Peter to take a step back from Carla in return for her silence.
It's the only thing I can think of because I can't see Leanne threatening to leave Peter, what else could it be?

Even though I am not a big fan of Maria, its nice that she is there for Carla, especially all the history between them both and Carla not believing Frank's attack on her a few months ago. I remember during when Peter revealed the affair between Leanne and Nick at the wedding and Carla left upset and Maria went after her to comfort her.

Thanks for the links

Hm but is Franks Ultimatum? I got the impression he was saying keep quiet or else.. but or else what? (he will tell on her about the crash - but originally she wanted to tell)

He'll destroy her business maybe

Ah yes good point. Nasty man. I think one of the reasons this is really hard hitting storyline, is apart from Ali King's amazing acting, Carla is not usually the type of character you would think something like this would happen to. She is tough and bossy, and we are going to see her become a victim of something I would never have associated her character with.

Hmm they did the same thing with Shelley and just about ruined her character. I hope the same thing doesn't happen here.

Oh vaguely remember that.

I really hope Carla can get back up from all this. I hope it does not ruin her. She is an amazing character. I reckon she will be fine in the end though and this is just an opportunity for us to see her in a new situation etc.

My fingers are crossed that Peter will see the light and fall in love with her!

Yes! Please do Peter! I like him and Leanne together but hin and Carla have so much chemistry, it's electric!!

I think that carla has more about her than shelley did, and so while she will be realistically hurt and traumatised at first they can build the charactor back up again in time. looking at the clips whilst obviously in pain, she has a lot of anger rather than just being scared of frank which is very carla.

Was just about to post this

Carla looks so damaged

'Maria offers Carla her unfailing support as she insists she come and live with her.'

Carla and Maria living together? Should be interesting
