Sorry for another Brookside thread, I know I am 20 years late on this, ha, but am binge watching each episode in 1995 at present.

I didn't see the episodes of the actual murder of Trevor, but have just seen the trial episodes and the Parkinson show. The court trial seemed to mention everything that happened.

What I can't understand is how the women are seen as being so innocent ? In the Parkinson show Jackie said the system let the women down as no one did anything about it. But correct me if I am wrong but the Joradche's didn't actually go to the authorities about the abuse, did they ? Also as the abuse was happening for 3 years, why didn't they go to the police, or run away ? At least one of them ? Also supposedly they tried to poison Trevor with weed killer, gradually, and then another poison, then stab him too ? As I say, I didn't see the abuse episodes, but surely the jury couldn't have come up with any other result ? There is a appeal coming up, and I am guessing they get out from that, but surely you can only appeal if there was something at fault with the original trial ?

Anyway, I know I am reading too much in to a soap, and a 20 year old one at that, haha, but it has been very gripping and great to watch back to back episodes, each episode seems to have a cliff hanger of sorts. Reminds me a lot of Prisoner Cell Block H, sometimes ludicrous plots, but ones that keep you watching.

They did go to the authorities, that's why they were sent to the Close, it was a safe house
