I'm a bit confused as to why he has some kind of hold over Sarah and why she just doesn't go to the police :/ Yes I know he has pictures of Bethany in some compromising photos and a video of her but it doesn't change the fact that she is still a child and he is known to the police as a dealer. I can't fathom what she has to lose by reporting him it can only be a good thing regarding Max surely.
Someone please enlighten me if I have missed something.

I was wondering that too. Bethany would be fine, she's a kid with no previous and they could say she was too daft to know what the stuff was, and/or play up that she liked Callum and was easily influenced by him.

I'm surprised she didn't go to the police after HE HID A GUN IN MAX'S BEDROOM WITH HIS TOY! Imagine if Max had pulled the trigger? What if Max had accidentally shot himself? Hiding a loaded gun in a small boy's bedroom is pretty low by anyone's standards. The police aren't stupid either. It wouldn't be the first time someone has hidden a gun or drugs in a kid's bedroom. If his house was searched they would find it. I suppose he's got rid of it or hidden it elsewhere now though. As for his selling drugs there wouldn't be much point in Sarah going to the police who already know but the gun where a kid can find it is another matter altogether.

Callum must be the least scrutinised drug dealer ever. He's been inside I'm assuming for drug offences, comes out and is not exactly inconspicuous in his dealings. I know the pub got busted last week, if they did this the police must suspect him, however he can see to go around doing what he wants without getting followed. A totally unbelievable story line from start to finish.

It is soap law that when someone blackmails you like Callum has with Sarah you will stand quivering and give in to blackmail rather than saying "do your worst" and doing the right thing regardless of consequences

Where I live dealers have stood in the same place on the street for years in a busy, trendy part of London. Everyone knows and nothing gets done. The local paper has printed stories about them dealing under the noses of the police more than once. However the very same local police service swooped on two people standing with a petition over a local issue and asked them to move on...then on another occasion the paper reported when residents complained about a noisy pub the local police said they couldn't do anything because their "noiseomitter" wasn't working. So no I'm not surprised that Callum gets away with it. Maybe he's an informant?

Maybe because of the biggest con trick ever laid on honest citizens by criminals : it's somehow wrong to "grass".

The whole storyline is just dreadful. Callum is a known drug dealer, he doesn't hide what he does. How do the courts/social services or whoever it is deciding on the custody of Max think he can afford a brand new two bed flat with no job????!!! And Kylie convinced Callum will get custody of Max - he's a f****ng drug dealer!!!!!!! And Sarah not going to the police because Callum has a couple of crap photos of Bethany smoking a spliff/delivering a parcel, Sarah could just say he was grooming her!

It could be a housing association flat? Some are really nice. He could also claim his mother pays for the flat. As for Sarah maybe she thinks she could be in trouble herself for knowingly dating a drug dealer and letting Bethany hang out with him.

I guess so. But wouldn't he have to prove his income to get custody? There just seems to have been no thought put into the possibility by TPTB that Callum could in any possible way gain custody over Kylie and David. Then again as Corrie is completely unbelievable these days anyway, I guess Callum is bound to end up with custody of Max!!

The obvious reason is because Callum knows where she lives, so she wouldn't want the risk of harm coming to her or Bethany.

I'm still holding out for a storyline where he'll just kill them both then shoot himself.

You'd be surprised what some terry ten men get away with - It'd make your hair curl.

I just presumed that Sarah is a bit thick but she doesn't really know how far Bethany is involved in it all so she doesn't to get her in trouble.

Forgot I've not watched tonights ep so maybe more was revealed

Kylie's right, Sarah is selfish. I can understand her not wanting to initially say anything out of shock and fear. But now that she's seen him with Max again tonight, why is she still keeping quiet? Bethany at least is old enough to make her own choices, Max is only a child who's only concern is seeing his dad. He doesn't deserve to be left unprotected, in harms way. Neither Bethany or Sarah seem to care as long as they're not affected. I hope Kylie rages on her whenever she eventually finds out about the gun.

Okay, I give up. What does "terry ten" mean?

A friend of my sister's called police to complain about people constantly dealing drugs just over the back wall of her garden. The police wouldn't come out. During the course of the conversation she mentioned the bad language she was forced to hear while this dealing was going on. "Oh, we can come out for that!" was the response - and they did!

Surely any mother would go to the police if she found out her minor daughter was being used by a drug dealer? It makes no sense to me, but then none of this particular story line does

Sarah is a c-word. That's why.
She doesn't give a rats ass about anyone only herself.
It should emerge she's been suffering from brain damage all these years and that's why she behaves the way she does

Going by the descriptive sentences, the c-word must be Carla.

Didn't callum take pics and video to blackmail her so he got custody? Didn't he say it wouldn't look good if they found out.

What would look worse, the courts finding out that a 15 year old happened to be taking/dealing drugs or a known drug dealer pressurizing a minor into taking drugs and getting involved in his dealing? His accomplice is in the picture with her and they're in his flat, they'd assume he'd be the one taking the picture too. Doesn't look good for someone claiming he wants to be a responsible parent of a young boy. Also factor in that Callum has been allowing Bethany to drink with him and they were caught up in a drugs raid where officers would be witness to this.

Sarah's thick. What do you expect? But if David and Kylie had any sense they could 'accidently' not give Max his pill on his day to see Callum. Then see how Callum would cope with a hyper active son. Not very well I'd imagine. He'd soon want Max to go! Lol
