Vincent seems to know the Mitchell's so I am wondering if Claudette knows Peggy?

Quite possible. I didn't think of that. Then again did Phil acknowledge Donna at all? I don't recall if he has.

Who knows?

My crystal ball says yes.

Agreed.

She must do going by the spoilers. How else will Phil know she is Vincent's mum from out of nowhere?

I don't think so, maybe because the families feel out before she was fostered by claudette due to Vincent's psychotic behaviour?

Would be interesting

Didn't he have pictures of her, Donna and Kim taken by a private detective? Of course., that doesn't mean she didn't know the Mitchells somewhere down the line.

Phil and Vincent have both hinted that Vincent's father was some kind of gangster I wonder if he is still alive? That's interesting as Claudette has so far been portrayed as a saintly Mother Earth type figure fostering disadvantaged children, about as far removed as you can get from a gangsters moll.

Ellen Thomas was definitely wasted as Grace.

Yeah if Donna wasn't adopted until she was a teenager that could be as late as 2000. Vincent was a kid in the late 70s and 80s.

Loving Claudette so farm
