Meanwhile, back in the real world, would any mortgagee actually lend money on a property built by two blokes who don't even have a trading name? Is the Nat. Housebuilders' Council, or whatever, still operational, and if so, surely any lender would want to know its got a secure loan. So, all that's available to Patvin Developments (I rather like that name!) would surely be deposits from the likes of Alex.

Houses and flats in new developments can often get sold long before they are built. |

It's just a long list of contrivances and how everything works in Phelan's favour. If these didn't happen there would be no plot and he'd be on his way, but the universe is on his side.

That's all they are after, lots of deposits (to protect the flat from being sold to someone else when it is ready), they obviously don't want people going for mortgages (and will be long gone before it got to that stage anyway).

I presume its not a smartphone, then, with access to emails, etc? If it is that is fairly careless/dangerous. It is recommended to PIN-protect a phone especially a smartphone.
No, you don't need to enter a PIN to answer a call. They are phones, i.e.for making and receiving phone calls when not at home, which isn't often because most things are not so important that they won't wait until we're home again. Do have a couple of books and games on them for when we're stuck waiting for something. And as they PAYG, anyone who uses it can only use up whatever money is on the phone. |

Cathy the self-absorbed clown was so interested in her problems that she forgot her fiance's birthday and didn't seem to be that bothered about it.
Get rid Roy. |

I may have missed something then. Was it not her bank statement she looked at to see who the money came from?

The coincidental bumping into someone in the street got stretched a bit tonight
Todd and Phelan were stood outside the building yard, talking to someone (I forget who) and Tracey spotted them and wandered down to join in. Trouble is, she was wearing her flower shop pinny and carrying a watering can, so I guess we were supposed to think she was stood outside the florists tending the exterior display and just happened to spot them? But how, can she see round 90 degree corners? ![]() Talking of Todd and Phelan. Why were they talking to people, some who we have never seen before, about the new development, whilst stood in the builders yard? Was there an open day? Why have they bothered with the fancy Portakabin on the development site if they are going to do sales events from the scuzzy yard?

I really thought taking a break from the pregnancy storyline would be great....but this Phelan and Cathy crap takes the biscuit.

I don't think that Todd is being as nasty as we think he is, I think he is setting Pat up. Though why Pat trusts him is anyones guess.

I wondered about the bank statement, if that was what Cathy looked at and thought it must be one showing her hubby's payments. But that in itself raises a number of questions.
We must wait and see. Corrie will explain it all to us. |

I know it's dangerous ground to criticise an actor with a learning disability but the problem with the Alex actor is that he simply can't act.

Let's consider the scam that Phelan and co going to pull they obtain £15k from every potential buyer of the flats, which Phelan said would be 40 flats so that's £600k to split 3 ways or so Phelan said, so £200k each, now that relies on the victims paying the money into Vinnie's bank account and him doing a runner with it, I mean really is that the best the scriptwriters can come up with, because surely Phelan and whoever is left after Vinny does one will have to carry the can for the scam?

The Phelan storyline is annoying me - would Eileen really not think hang on this is the same sort of scam Anna warned me about - he's building flats and wanted money from people then....I know it's not completely the same, the mill flats Owen and Gary were helping to build were going to be sold but still......
I suppose there would never be any storylines though if people had common sense on the street. |
