Thanks for those - lots of questions!!

I'm intrigued about Emma knowing Pam's secret.

Looking forward to pam's secret xD and at abou time fatboy got back into nicks story again. I think mick would like linda to have an abortion and I hope se does too (as there has already been a lot of births recently and ronnie I would like to have a early by baby. Back in the 80s when they had hassan, Vicki, Martin and Annie planned they realised they would have to kill one off before Martin and vickis births. (Hassans cot death story) I feel like it would be way too much with Beth, Ronnie's baby, bert, ernie, Linda's baby, lexi and young children like tommy, lily, Amy and Janet.

Glad to see some focus on the Cokers. Sounds like it could be a great week.

Sounds a good week. What will Carol discover?

I agree. I feared that the Cokers would be nothing more than filler characters who would prop up every now and then and as a result of this shoddy treatment they would be written out after a year or so.

At least this way they are actually trying to develop both characters.

I'm wondering if it will be the other way around - now that Linda is pregnant, Mick realizes he is happy about the prospect of another baby whereas Linda is uncertain given the circumstances. There was a clip in one of the previews of Mick and Linda caring for Bert and Ernie, and Mick said something to the effect of, "See? We still know what to do with babies." That's what makes me think Mick is happy about the pregnancy, while Linda is still understandably anguished.

Something makes me think Linda doesn't have an abortion, though. First of all, she'd probably have a tough time making Mick understand why she wants one, and he'd feel hurt that she wants to get rid of "their" baby. The mention in the spoiler about Linda deciding whether or not to confide in Mick makes me think she considers telling Mick about Dean and the rape but doesn't thinking she'll break Mick's heart. (A lot of her decisions regarding the rape have been done to avoid crushing Mick.) Consequently, Linda decides against the abortion.

If Linda does have the abortion, chances are the truth about the rape and Mick's parentage will come out after the abortion and will probably lessen the effect. However, if Mick persuades Linda to keep the pregnancy and he later finds out Dean raped her and the baby could be Dean's AND Dean is his brother...well, there's another six months of drama there that has pretty much written itself.

As for the Cokers, I'm wondering if they have been involved in burying fake bodies before? So maybe Emma finds out that Lucy's burial wasn't real?

Not very likely as Peter sat vigil over her corpse in the chapel of rest.

More likely Pam 'helped' her son to die (terminally ill ??) which is why they are supporting their grandson who is at Uni.

It has to be related to Pam's old job as a social worker. If she is worried Emma will uncover it then that means its on police file probably because Pam was arrested and charged for something. So it can't be a secret yet to be discovered type of thing. That is my take on it. I'm guessing Les is arrested along with Charlie for faking Nick's death and Pam's fear of her past being revealed is off the back of that.

nice to see The Cokers getting some air time.

Paul is travelling I think, I dont think he is at Uni.

I'm intrigued by the "Fatboy becomes suspicious about Dot’s whereabouts." Nick kidnapped Dot? Or Dot ran away with Charlie and Yvonne? I wonder what it could be...

Sonia ringing Martin? Ahh hope so!

Carol already knows the truth about Nick, right?

Looking forward to see Kat & Stacey going out for drinks

Yeh Carol knows

thought so

Kat's getting back from the pub to find out they've been squatting then.

I wonder if it will turn out that Pam assisted their son to commit suicide? Pam and Dot could bond as a result. It must be something illegal if she's worried about Emma? Also, it would pave the way for more Cora/Pam scenes, as Cora is on the other side - she had no idea that Tanya had helped William (I think that was his name) to die until years later.

I wonder if Thursday's would be an hour long? Would we know at this stage if it were?

These spoilers sound really good!

I hope Linda and Mick don't get the duff duff again, getting a bit tedious now.

Pam and Les are down for there 1st duff duff on Friday 07/11. Emma's parents also look to be arriving in that episode.

Oh ffs, why she's AWFUL? The cast for next Thursday and Friday looks shit! DTC has introduced way too many new characters! Les and Pam seem pretty interesting, I think their secret might have something to do with Nick!

She's awful but she seems pretty interesting??

I don't mind Pam but agree with others that we have not seen enough and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them.

Emma is such a drip. So wet and an awful actress; not looking forward to any more focus on her.

Hallelujah! DTC impresses me with some stuff, but it's introducing characters and stories like this that make me doubt him, wtf were they thinking?

Anna Acton can not act and I'm not looking forward to seeing more of her, just because a character has some good storylines doesn't make them a good character!

lol and I thought I was the grumpy forum member I agree it does look a bad set of characters in that episode.
