EE seems all over the place at the mo.

What happened to Alice - is she still in prison ?
Same with Janine
Have they given up on finding Lucy`s murderer?
Is Max still involved with the police woman?

Alice was set free and I think she went to live with her mum.

Janine was also found not guilty and went to live with Diane I think. They had a whole week of episodes focusing on the trial back in March.

And yes, Max is still with Emma. The murder plot is back at the fore next week.

Thank you EEforest - must have missed those episodes in March

Actually it was very strongly implied that Janine went off with the man she met who won the lottery at the train station.

I was on holidays. Why did Phil arrange for Sharon to be attacked?

Oh yes! I forgot about that bit!

He just wanted to shake her up a bit so she'd listen to him about the security guards.

Because he is a repulsive, controlling and 'invincible' psychopath.

I also missed those episodes but let me gets this straight, Michael was stabbed twice and nobody got sent down?

Lol it does sound bad when you say it like that.
