Vincent has stated that he's married, but did not state who to.
Kim has stated that she is married to Vincent, but later stated that she has been lying.
Vincent has also stated that he is married with a baby. We know Vincent has criminal connections due to his getting the gun for Roxy and has spent time in both London and abroad around the time Kim met him and was then supposedly on the Cruise. We know Kim's husband Kim can be violent and that is why she left him and is scared enough to lie about him and hide.

They haven't come right out and said Vincent is kim's husband but it really isn't hard to connect the dots.

It's no wonder Shirley is about to search for Roya (someone mentioned how she loses people all the time). That little girl shouldn't ever be around someone like Shirley Carter. She has a completely different life. It's likely that they'll bring her into the show, so the Masoods should be looking after not that wicked Shirley and dusty looking Buster.

Tonight was the first time that it looked like Dean didn't want his parents around. I thought that was interesting as he's always wanted to be loved by Shirley, and now he has Buster too!

That was a very good episode. The branning scenes in particular. Shirley's behaviour is getting worse and worse though.
I agree totally especially about Shirley, she is spoiling EE for me.
What she did tonight was the most hideous thing. How pathetic it was.

The whole point behind Shirley is she always loses everything. She lost her son Jimbo. She lost Kevin. She lost her daughter who disowned her. She lost Heather. She lost Phil. She lost Dean when he disowned her and physically assaulted her. And now Dean is back and she is being lured into believing she has a son who loves her and the old Dean has gone away. That won't last and I expect she will once again lose everything. And not just one son this time.. but two. It's inevitable.
Which is 90% is her own doing, she is a character who takes no responsibility, we're suppose to bow down to some pitty party for her character because she being portrayed as some under dog who had a hard life but she a character written with no depth or even leeway for some progression, she a taker not a giver, she does wrong we're suppose to feel sorry for her and understand her reasoning behind her actions when there is none it's all self-absorbed, she repetitive in her actions and inconsistent in her personality.

I'm still puzzling over what Shirley has on Phil for him to give her the money and keys. Shirley mentioned Max and then also about where Phil was on the night of Ian and Jane's wedding, then he said she was making it up, to which she replied - I'm not making it up about Max though, am I? And then Phil gave her the money...anyone else puzzled?Though, I do love how Shirley and Phil constantly blackmail each other, and then they catch up like old friends - they have a brilliant frenemyship and I love their scenes. I like it when they are on an equal footing/

I really enjoyed tonight's episode. A great mixture of characters aswell. Now, why can't every episode be up to that standard?.

You really do want Phil and Shirley to reunite right? I think they work well as friends. I'm glad Phil told Shirley to do one. I think Buster is good for Shirley as he seems to be the one to calm him down.

She is spoiling it for me too . I now find it stressful to watch EE a lot of the time , mainly due to Dean and Shirley

Jumping the gun there, where did I say that? I like them as frenemies - that kind of friend/enemy relationship - they work well like that as they are equal. as opposed to a couple. I like Shirley with Buster - he knows how to handle her, and I would like to see more scenes of them away from Dean and explore their back story! I've been quite vocal on here about how I like Buster and Shirley - I only hope Buster isn't a plot device who will leave with Dean!

I just took it that Phil didn't want another ear bashing from Sharon as she doesn't know anything about the stolen cars or Karin, why Sharon suddenly wants him to change I have no idea and why Phil isn't putting her straight is even more puzzling. I do love Shirley and Phil as friends now, their scenes are always good.

That would make sense. But to give 10k away so he doesn't get an earbashing from the wife...

I have no idea either, Phil won't change and Sharon's constant ultimatiums are annoying , she knows who she married, Phil won't change.

I like Phil and Shirley as friends too, well frenemies. I think they work well in a dynamic where they are equal.

I think Shirley has twigged about Phil setting Max up with dodgy motors.
On Ian and Jane's wedding night Phil was meeting Kathy. I'm not sure how or why Shirley would know this but it's definitely something Phil would pay £10k to keep quiet!

I didn't mean to offend you but you sound like a big fan of Phil and Shirl so I thought you want them to reunite - they may do that soon. I can't see Sharon ever forgiving Phil for constantly lying to her especially Kathy. But DTC loves
making Sharon into a doormat. I don't think he even likes Sharon LOL. I like Shirley and Buster because they seem "natural" together if this makes sense? But yeah it seems like he's a plot device for Dean. He seems awfully caring for Dean because he didn't know about his existence till November 2014.

Oh you didn't offend me, I like Phil and Shirley scenes but I hated the way they wrote her around him, chasing him and I didn't like her being his doormat. I prefer them in a dynamic where they are equal. With Kathy coming back, I don't think they will but they may reunite in the future depending on Buster/Sharon and so forth. But again, I wouldn't want Shirley and Phil to 'reunite' solely because Sharon dumped him. I like Shirley and I don't want to see her ruined that way however, their scenes are a treat. You can tell Linda H and Steve M like working together.

I am really intrigued by Shirley and Buster and I like them together. I know exactly what you mean, they do seem natural and believable, I am hoping we get to explore them more as a couple without Dean lurking, like how they were back in Nov. I'd like to find out their backstory but I am getting the feeling thay Buster is only there for Dean and is a plot device, hopefully I am wrong. I have heard that KH is only short term, initially.

DTC loves Sharon, at times his Twitter page has been a homage to her. I think she is his favorite current character, along with Mick and Linda. Though Mick is 'doing my nut in' at the moment.

I thought that too but the scene seemed to suggest that she knew something else, 10k seems an awful lot to just hand over because of Max esp when Shirley said she could 'get more'. I wonder if she does know something about that night and hence the mention of Sharon, would be interesting if she did and would be something that Phil would pay out to keep on the downlow. It may have just been the writing but I think there might be something in there. Intriguing.

The Carter stuff is borderline slapstick and has no place in EE. Shirley is just ridiculous and shes the most selfish disgusting character to grace the small screen.

Liked seeing Vincent and Ronnie and liked the funeral scenes with Dot and Carol.

How was Heather friends with Shirley that long? If Hev was still alive even the other Carters would've been disgusted by the way Shirl treated her at times.

I wish Dean would kill him off already and be sent down for that. I can't tolerate Mick screenhog anyone. Everything is about him these days - Linda rape, the parentage, Stan and he gets more screentime then anyone and it's driving me insane and his personality transplant hasn't helped. He's no
Longer the lovable dad he was when they first arrived now he's a self centred selfish ignorant prick.
Mick is entitled to be angry.

Jim was upset when billie died, one of his last scenes
I wasn't upset.

Why is Phil there exactly? I don't recall him and Jim being mates.
Philth is King and therefore has to attend such events.

Bradley was a truly lovely guy.
Yes he was .

I'm sick to the back teeth of the wise old sage Dot.
She can be tiresome.

I could've lived without Sonia's singing but it got better when everyone else joined in.
Cringeworthy

How does Shirley own the place? Didn't she give them £10,000 of Stan's money to get rid of rot while Mick paid for the pub from Phil originally? She owns like 2% of the pub.
Stan lent Mick the money but stipulated that Shirley had to collect it.

When is Dean finally going to get some sort of punishment? This is dragging on and is ruining Shirley in the process.
HIs haircut is part of his punishment

It's always 10 grand that Shirley wants.
N

Dean raped a woman but denied it and there is zero evidence to suggest he did it.
Zero evidence????? There is an eye witness.

I really wish Shirley would just f*** off for good. How is she allowed to behave so awfully all the time without facing ANY consequences?
Good posting

I hope when Shirley finds out Dean really did rape Linda that she self combusts!
She already knows.

Why didn't Sonia do the eulogy? She's the only one apart from Dot who really knew and loved Jim when he was at his nicest.
Max did it best.

I'm still shocked how Heather was ever friends with that poisonous witch Shirley.
Shirley used Heather.

Realistically the Vic would be closer to £1million, probably quite a bit more in fact.

Shirley really is living in cloud cuckoo land if she thinks she can buy the Vic. "I can get the rest". No, you really can't, Shirl. Deluded fool.
If TPTB decide that The Shirley Creature will own the pub, she will own the pub.

Vincent is married to Kim which I thought was common knowledge on here
Poor Vincent

Was Shirley's threat to do with Phil seeing Kathy (how did Shirley even find out if so?!) or was it something separate that was Max related? Didn't get that scene.

It confused me too. We don't know where Shirley was that night, we saw her walk away and Nancy indicate that she was in the Vic but she wasn't in there the whole time so her whereabouts for some of that night are unknown. I initially thought it was about Max but It may be that she knows something - which would be intriguing but it could just be the way it was written. Shirley then told Mick, she could get the rest - I wonder if she just have something over Phil - so many questions! (as well as Babe's secret, Kim's lies, Ronnie/Vincent...)

This was what was said:

Shirley: You haven't told her, have you? Where you were the night of Ian and Jane's wedding?
Sharon: In your bed, obviously.
Phil: Making stuff up, are you really that desperate?
Shirley: I'm not making it up about Max Branning, am I? Ten grand now or I'll tell Max everything.
