You're ve summefd it up exactly

Although not before Rhona has Evil Baby Pierce in the oven

As far as I can remember when Zoe sold the rest of the estate to the Kings she signed over the house and surgery to Paddy, along with her share of the business. Then she blew up Home Farm House
I know Vanessa bought a share but I don't think Rhona ever did ~ could be wrong though. If that's the case she's entitled to a share of the house but not the business.

But.. Paddy IS in the wrong, he had an affair, even if the character of Paddy was a female, she would still be in the wrong, this is nothing to do with the characters sex, it's to do with the characters lack of morals.

I might be wrong, but I think that because Rhona is his wife, not his partner, she's s legally entitled to the value if half the house. If they are unmarried I believe her name would have to be on the deeds or the mortgage loan?

It's s probably a lot more complicated than that though, and I guess it's s different in England anyway? they definitely both need to see a lawyer!

Can you see Paddy being civil about them working together post divorce? I bet he won't t. They're all have to spkit the business as well I reckon. They really need to get lawyers involved. People always say they don't t want to do that, but at least lawyers are detached and will have their client's best interests at heart.

You made me think ~ are they actually married? I don't remember a wedding. That doesn't mean it didn't happen though.

Good point,actually. Although I think she's s listed as Rhona Kirk on the end credits?I' all have to look now I just assumed they wrre and you should never do that

They're married - sure of it.

I' ve just looked up Rhona's s wikipedia page. She's s listed there as Rhona Goskirk, and while it refers to proposals there's s no mention of a marriage ceremony. Maybe they are engaged, but not married?

They really need legal advice, both of them!

I didnt say she was a saint, she has done wrong in the past, but this is unforgivable to smash up a disabled child's home like that, he is so damn selfish.

Well found!

I knew they were upstanding moral types who would never live ' over the brush'

Just kidding, by the way before anyone thinks I have a problem with people living together

Yes, there are pictures on Google. Apparently Chas was best man . I still don't remember it though.

I remember it was a bit overshadowed by the marlon / Leo situation, I also remember thinking I'm never one to criticise a persons appearance but paddy looks like a boiled egg at the altar rather disappointed myself with that one

You know full well his sex is irrelevant. Had it been Rhona who had the affair people would be saying she was in the wrong.

Come now Sorcha, you know f us women ruled the world there's d be universal peace and no hole in the Ozone layer we are GREAT after all!

Totally agree though. Rhona would be getting it in the neck if she had cheated. Paddy is extremely silly to think he could return to a viable marriage.

I don't feel sorry for Paddy, he had the affair, she tried to forgive him and make their marriage work but she couldnt get past it - fair enough, she has every right to move on.

I'm going to be really disappointed in the writers if they turn Pierce into a villian/psycho. They don't have to go all pantomine with it. I read ages ago when the storyline first started that there were no "goodies and baddies" with the Paddy-Tess-Pierce-Rhona and I hope they stick to that, i prefer that sort of storyline to some of the over the top rubbish they can sometimes come up with.

I like Pierce too; him and Rhona look much more suited as she is stunning and he is very good eye-candy, I also like Paddy but like others have said I prefer his interactions with Chas and Aaron.

Vanessa bought a third into the business. I remember because Paddy was worried about her having a controlling share and Rhona told him that it was still 2 against one.
For Vanessa to have a third and for Paddy to be worried about it, Rhona must also own a third.

As for the house that will now be half owned by Rhona as well. And no, I don't believe Paddy has adopted Leo - for that to happen Marlon would have to relinquish his parental rights. Paddy is as good as his dad though, which was all brought up when they wanted to go to New Zealand together.

I don't like Paddy - never did - and I agree that Rhona had a right to move on without him. However, I don't agree that she has a right to squat in their home with her new soul mate. Solicitor Pierce and Vet Rhona should get their own home - she may be entitled to a share of Paddy's house, but she doesn't own it.

It would have made more sense if he had just moved back in and changed the locks instead of trashing the house but then sense is not something that he has in abundance.

Sex is irrelevant in an extra marital affair, oh ok then.

Considering he walked away from the business and home I'd say she had every right to stay there, he could have warned her he was coming back and discussed her moving out but no he just turned up expecting her to be pining for him.

Dave you're a naughty boy

I feel a bit sorry for him now that he's s not acting like an idiot. He made a stupid mistake, we're ve all done that. Now he's s having to pay.

Paddy took a six month sabbatical, now he is home. He should consult his solicitor and change the locks on the door of the house and surgery. When Rhona, Pierce and Leo return, Leo can go to Marlon and Rhona and Pierce can go to the B&B. Then let the solicitor sort the mess out legally.

I must admit to having a pang of sympathy for him last night when he crumbled with Chas. But I still think his behaviour re: barricading himself in the house was selfish and bratty and he's not fully redeemed for me yet.
