It would be interesting to see how these 2 would get on. They could both help fix Phil i just hope Shirley doesn't end up going into a relationship with him.

Me too.

Theres many people I'm looking forward to seeing Grant interact with, Mick Carter and him probably won't get along.

Also him and Jane may find it awkward

Shirley and Grant already know each other. Her and Phil have been to stay with him. I don't think she was that impressed.

I remember that. She also made some sarcastic comments about Sam when she returned so was obviously still angry with her for what she did to Hev. It would be good to see Shirley and Grant cross paths on screen.

Also, I would like Shirley to have a few scenes with Peggy, they've had quite a few over the years during Phil and Shirley's on/off phase when she was a barmaid at the pub and then when Phil and Shirley got together properly. Peggy actually got on well with Shirley. I think Sharon's the only one of her son's partners she didn't like and that predates Sharongate. The original Peggy played by Jo Warne wasn't too impressed with Sharon.

I want Peggy to reconcile with Kathy who she fell out with for sleeping with Grant. I would find that more believable than Peggy suddenly forgiving Sharon after all these years and passing on the matriarch mantle to her. There are some things a mother, especially one like Peggy, wouldn't forgive and Sharongate is one of them and no Peggy didn't forgive her in 2005/6 that was something else entirely (appreciation for the Mitchells getting the Vic back and restraint after Dennis's death and Phil's part in it).

They need to come out and publicly acknowledge this as a mistake, just as Corrie did with Kevin forgetting his other child.

Even if Shirley hadn't met Grant, there used to be pictures of him at the Vic and there's probably some at Phil's house (even though they would have all got burnt in the 2010 fire).

They need to come out and publicly acknowledge this as a mistake, just as Corrie did with Kevin forgetting his other child.
The two things aren't comparable. This is an annoying mistake but it's not in the same league as a character forgetting a child they had.

I'm surprised Sarah Phelps would make such a mistake tbh. I can understand it happening though as all of the storylining team from 2010 to 2013 bar Kris Green have gone. So no one was there to flag it up as a continuity error. Given how much DTC has also altered history I'm not even sure if EE has a script editor who deals with continuity anymore either.

Would be fitting if Shirley and Grant slept together, would have more in common with Kathy and Sharon.

Is Grant meant to be coming back for a long stint or another flying visit?.

There's no excuse at all for mistakes like this none.

Yes he's coming back for 3 weeks later in the year although not sure when. If I had to guess I'd say late July early august.

I would be serious money on that never, ever happening! They seem like two people that would and could never get on. At most they could be nodding acquaintances, but no more than that....

Though I was pleased to see that Sharon and Grant still had that magic between them....
