Does anyone else think it's been lazy of the show bosses not to bring her in for this storyline? I find it strange that she brought Alice up and suddenly doesn't want to help her.

well todays episode pretty much made it clear she has more or less disowned her children ever since they decided to get back in their dads lives.

It was lazy from the start, Alice comes searching for her dad once she finds him she leaves everything behind and Joey does the same, no mention of the mother who looked after them. Now it seems she has washed her hands off them, having said that there's no point of casting the mother as they are both leaving.

Really can't bring myself to care about her anymore. These two are pretty much no-marks in EE's history andt they're both on their way out. Derek made few references to her, the kids themselves hardly made an effort and now she's apparently disowned them. Shoddy writing but I really don't care so, meh.

Could not have said it better myself.

It was not too bad, She probably warned them about Derek, they got what they deserved!

Plenty of parents say "I've warned you about your mother/father" but they don't disown their child for trying to meet them.

It could be that their mother disowned Alice after she found out she got arrested, but there are a couple of things that strike me as odd. First off, most parents would be eager to visit their child to find out WHY they've been arrested rather than go "she's what? Been arrested? Right...well, she's dead to me. Fancy some tea?".

Secondly, the time to introduce her was almost a year ago, when Derek died. She could have turned up and tried to build bridges with her kids, without having to worry about Derek. The fact that she didn't, and has hardly gotten a mention since, make me believe that this really was shoddily done and I therefore care even less.

Her daughter is in jail, its not Derek's fault she is in there. The mum is just a bad mum that is all.

She should be there for Alice regardless. Mum of the year that one.

I agree Joey was completely useless but I think Alice has been fantastic the past few months. Her relationship with Michael was amazing and she really has shown she can act from the aftermath of Michaels death.

I pretty much agree with the shoddy writing surrounding the background of these characters though, they obviously couldn't be bothered bringing in a mother at this point.

She would have been introduced to the show if the characters had been more of a success. Seeing their mum would be the next natural step.

Why they never casted their mum I will never know. But Alice is quite a good actress actually. Joeys not fantastic so I'm not that fussed he's leaving.

The problem was that they were created at the last minute by Newman because the Derek character was failing so they wanted to give him more depth by introducing his kids and Max even said months earlier that Derek didn't have kids. :s

The characters really suffered because they were just dumped on the show with no though into their characters and only Alice was kind of successful and got a pretty decent storyline.
