That's just how I imagine JoP talks.

Thing is, it is the way of soaps to blame the women more than men but it doesn't make it right. Compared to those who were shouting loudest... Chas, Dobbeh, Katie... Moira is as pure as the driven snow.

BIB : pictures or it hasn't happened ”

Katie never shouted loudly or passed judgement on Moira!
All said was that she was up half the night with Adam and that lies have a funny way of catching up with people.
Under the circumstances, that was a perfectly reasonable and understandable comment for her to make to Moira!

It's a shame we didn't know each other back then. We could have gone on a double date with you, Moira, me and my boyfriend Chris Hemsworth.

I also don't think adding in things to her and John's past is terrible either. Her and John were high school sweethearts, but before they got married she must have had a bit of a wobble (I can't think of many people who would be ready to settle down straight after school) and that's when she had her drunken one night stand with James. It proved to her how much she loved John and would happily spend the rest of her life with him.

Though let us not forget that she did cheat on him with Cain anyway so it wasn't the perfect marriage by any means.

I do hope, though, that they do another DNA test and Adam is John's son in the end.”

Apologies if this has already been said, I'm only part-way through reading the thread.

Hannah is older than Adam (I've noticed a few posters getting that wrong), so Moira and James's one night stand was when she and John had been married for some time.

That's right - Holly is 11 months older than Adam. So Holly was a babe in arms when Moira went with James. It could well have been the stress of a new baby that caused the rough patch with John that she mentioned.

No, Way before him. Remember the 'jewel heist' at Home Farm with Chas and Lexi? She tried to double cross them too.

I don't remember that, I wasn't watching around that time.

Oh Debbie is a minx.

Ever since he said "you were crying about the baby" I thought it could have been PND.

No she's not - Hannah is several years younger. She was the same age as Victoria I think.

Not sure about Holly - she was at College when they arrived. I thought Adam was older than her but might be wrong - they were certainly very close i'm age.

Holly is the eldest, then Adam then Hannah

God, Lexi was just a poor man's Charity who was there in Charity's missing years, wasn't she?

I've just seen that and corrected my post.

That actually makes a bit more sense. If she wasn't getting any support from John with a tiny baby (perhaps because he was working too hard) a friendly shoulder from James could have turned into something more quite realistically.

its another reason it was poor casting she was the eldest but looked almost as young as Hannah

Adam was born first, then Holly followed by Hannah.

I always thought Holly was the eldest.

she is, it would be pretty hard for James to be Adam's father if he was the eldest seeing as she was struggling with the baby when he was conceived
