It is not long to go for Ian and Ben finding out their mother is still alive How will they react will they be in shock will they think it is a dream there will so many twists and turns and also some great acting performances of anger and emotion It is going to great stuff What are you hoping for in these up and coming episodes

I think their reactions will be so different. I think Ben will lash out and make Kathy feel guilty for what he has been through and I doubt he will forgive his mum so easily. With Ian, I think he will be shocked, angry but more upset and I reckon with Bobby being responsible for Lucy's death and being all over the place, he will realise he needs Kathy.

I do hope we get an episode with either just 2, 3 or 4 characters e.g. Kathy and Ian, Kathy, Ian and Ben or Kathy, Ian, Ben and Phil. Maybe a few episodes with minimum cast focusing on Kathy and her sons and explaining why she did what she did.

I think Sharon's reaction to Kathy will also be highly interesting. Phil has been hiding it from her for months and Kathy's husband *may* be her biological father. She's going to be furious with Phil.

Ben will have a lot grievances with Kathy. He'll blame her for the life he has had for the past 9 years in England. The abuse from Stella, his dad bullying him, getting locked up twice for injuring someone and killing another and a suspect in his own niece's murder.

Ben's whole facade will come crashing down in half a second. His life would be ENTIRELY differently had he stayed with his mum.

For about a picosecond before forgiving him.

Just like she always does no matter what he has done to her or others.
