BIB 1 She didn't tell Phil, he guessed. even half the viewers didn't work that one out.
BII She shot her mouth off to Ronnie when she was drunk. Yes she threatened to tell Sharon as well but she had nothing to gain from that....he would have hated her for it, and she didn't demand money to keep her mouth shut. Phil was just vindictive by demanding the money back straight away, he knew there was no way she or Mick could get hold of it, and then he threatened her entire family. Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut about setting those thugs on Sharon...never tell a drunk you're secrets. BIB 2 No way should she have told Dean that she is Mick's mother before she had told Mick himself. 2. Shirley has a history of sabotaging other people's relationships out of pure spite and jealousy. She was jealous about the engagement and hurt and furious that Phil wouldn't abandon his injured girlfriend to live boozily ever after with her. Disrupting Phil and Sharon's relationship would have been a satisfying gain. 3. Shirley's no threat to Phil. She's all bark and no bite. She had the chance to implicate him for the cover up of her best friend's murder and still didn't do it. Anyway what Phil told Shirley does not excuse Shirley blabbing and causing problems for her sons. 4. Shirley could have been honest with Mick as soon as Phil threatened to reveal her secret. She could have asked Dean to meet her somewhere more private and told him she was being blackmailed over a personal matter. |

1. After he guessed Shirley told him the whole story. All she had to do was keep quiet and Phil would have had nothing on her but a half baked suspicion with nothing to back it up. However she couldn't resist a chance to get closer to him. Shirley knows exactly what Phil is like. She even encouraged this type of behaviour.

He's been with Sharon for months and this is the second time they've been engaged, and suddenly she's bothered. Terrible writing. Shirley turned him down at the new year and Sharon was his second choice...now suddenly Shirley's all angst ridden. ![]() 4 That would be too sensible for a soap . The writers want the reveal to be a big drama.

1 If Phil hadn't been hanging about the Vic to give his thugs the chance to trash the Albert she wouldn't have and confided in him, he refused to leave until she told him. She then got the wrong message because it appeared that he preferred being with her than going home to his girlfriend and was giving her lingering looks.

She told Phil because he was there? She could have told him to mind his own business.
![]() I can only think they wanted Phil to have a s/l, he's had nothing in yonks. So they give him a love triangle Ludicrous.

Surely that's the reasonable explanation here, at that point they were getting along, so why couldn't she confide in him?, he is probably the only person outside of the family to have become privy to that information. From the reveal episode, up until she explained to Phil, they were on good terms so how would she know that he would threaten to expose her secret? I mean, unless she had read the script or happened upon a copy of inside soap that week. ![]() Phil sending thugs to 'scare' his girlfriend because he wanted more control is far worse imo. Also on a side note: If she just took Mick aside to tell him, where would the drama of a 'big reveal' be? That would've been boring tbh. |

I think Phil will tell Mick that Shirley is his mother. Really can't see how Mick will find out the truth if it isn't Phil.

Aunt Babe may have a hand the reveal along with Sylvie or Andy? (I'm hoping to see the castings of Sylvie and Andy! )

I think Phil will be involved somehow but surely Shirley could just say it was nonsense or just tell threaten to tell Sharon the truth, then again, Phil could just deny that too? Hmm.

I'm hoping it will come from Sylvie, or even Stan (he might already suspect). Anyone but damned Phil.

I don't really want Stan to already suspect because the drama from the reveal would be much greater if he didn't know and Stan's reaction upon finding out the truth would be immense, however I wouldn't be opposed to him finding out before Mick and trying to keep hush hush. |

Yes you're right. I guess Phil will be the one who will comfort Shirley when the truth is out. I totally forgot about Sylvie. I think she will make her appearance eventually. Aunt Babe knows about Shirley and Mick. But she needs to come back to the show ASAP. I think the Shirley/Mick reveal will be on Christmas Day and there will be lots of drama! I can see Mick chucking Shirley out of the Vic. Stan will be so disgusted with her and Phil will take pity on her and take her back to his house. If he is still with Sharon at Xmas time, she won't be happy

I can't see that. she was a 13 year old, still a child herself when she had Mick. He isn't the sort to condemn her for that. her mum made her keep it secret and she's the one who lied to Stan.

I'm tired of looking at this miserable old trout. It's clear she was never meant to be a leading character. It wouldn't have taken 7 years for it to happen if anyone ever intended it. Scratch the surface with Shirley and all you get is more poison. She was better in small does propping up other characters and delivering one liners. The character is too unappealing to be at the forefront all the time. The writers made the same mistake with the Brannings.

Shirley is pretty popular with me, my friends and family. She is flawed but real and I for one, find her fascinating. I would must prefer to watch a multi layered, interesting character than a boring, well behaved one. I believe there is a lot more to Shirley and we are just at the tip of it. I hope Shirley sticks around!
![]() Side note: I wish they would curb the drinking and allow her to get it right now and again, you know, so she can progress. but give me a flawed character every time. Den, Steve and Janine are a few of my other favourites. All spiteful and unpleasant in their own way, but hugely watchable. Then we have the dreadful and neglectful parents...Pat, David, Max, Patrick and Glenda to name a few. As for her 7 years in the wilderness, all I can say is, what a shameful waste. Having said all that, if there is no progress in her character in the next year, I'll be giving up on her.
