Did they do an onscreen tribute to Kitty McGeever at the end of the credits yet?/
No. I was just thinking about that earlier. Maybe it'll be down to her scriptwriter sister if/when they do it.


Ross has never killed anyone though.
Yet.

She said to Ross that she nearly died and her kids would have been left with no one. So in future it had to be about the kids. That's her opinion now This week

Conveniently forgetting their father who saw more of them than her until Pete stepped in.
Well done to her for remembering their names though.

Please, they wouldn't notice if there thot of a mother is gone, they are probably more concerned that Pete isn't around since he spent more time with them than Debbie has.

LOL, right. Sarah probably tells her friends "I don't have a mom, I have two dads, Andy and Pete"

Wouldn't you if Debbie was your mother (biological)?

Can the Ross/Debbie story get any more boring, yaaawn? I am hoping the writers will soon have them driving off into the sunset (in a stolen car, of course, the owner of which has had his head bashed in by Ross)

So who looks after Arthur then because goodness knows its none of his 4 parents/step parents, April on the other hand have people falling over themselves to look after her..

I'm just bored by this tedious crap about Debbie never having her kids, no soap parent ever seems to worry about childcare but hey don't have the stick Debbie gets

Kwynne feels better after mini rant

Honestly she gets a hard time when she doesn't mention them and a hard time when she does

Disgusted of Salford.

When she does mention them it's 'theyre with xxxxx or yyyyy'.

Mini Synopsis of Ep

Jai tried to set up a drug supply business with the very small amount that Megan bought.
Kirin turned him down, Rishi practically called him and idiot, Rakesh smarmed all over him and took most of his drugs.
And because he needed the money for his business instead of selling the rest he took it instead, Yes Jai that will help won't
The Funeral of the Century is gathering pace,
Elton John Impersonator Check
Million Turtle doves Check
Strippers dressed as sailors Check
Giant stature of Godzilla err sorry giant statue of Val Check
David is happy but Eric is a mass of disapproving denial
Ross came home and immediately escaped the tender mercies of his smothering mother only to be rejected by Debbie for the umpteenth time in a row
After holding Moses Ross embarked an some evil superplan by calling his debt from Lawrence.
Meanwhile the Bob Prison farce rumbles on but nobody cares about that do they

Except on the numerous occasions she actually has them you mean or they are upstairs, seriously other soap children are seen just as rarely but their parents don't get the hard time Debbie does do they.

Course they don't.

When was the last time anyone saw Arthur with either Laurel or Ashley?

Or the twins with Bob?

Or Amba with Priya? David had Amba the other day and I didn't see one person say 'Oh Priya's dumped her kid' - Which FYI its not called dumping your kids when they are with their father. Who has equal responsibility in caring for their kids.

Kids are only in scenes when they absolutely have to be. Take the recent scenes with Debbie and Pete - can you image the stress them crying, shouting and screaming at each other would cause the little lad who plays Jack?

Watching characters getting their kids up, giving them breakfast, getting them dressed, taking them to school/playgroup/childminders, picking them up, giving them their tea, baths, bedtime stories ect is boring and they aren't going to put that on screen. Doesn't mean we aren't suppose to believe it happens.

I agree. Debbie's not my favourite character, she's ok but I don't go mad over her. However I don't have a problem with the way she is with her kids. Unfortunately some people hate her so much they tend to distort the facts for their own agenda.

Very well said, all of it.

The only thing I might add is that while we cannot expect to see the kids more, it would be nice if they were a little more present through their parents actions.

It does annoy me at times how all parents can work full time, sit in the cafe and the pub for hours, and just generally have all the time in the world for their friends' problems.

For me, the most interesting thing about Ross is that he is always just one step away from achieving true happiness and going over to the 'good' side. Everyone thinks he's a waste of space and a walking disaster, but the truth is had he got his happy ever after with Donna or Debbie, then I genuinely think he would start to leave his bad days behind him.

He's a very effective tragic character is Ross.
I agree. I like Ross and he has been given a far more interesting character than his dad and 2 brothers. He is clearly a troubled soul - like his mum.
