Why would she try to blackmail Mick

He is the only one out of the Carter family that she cares about

This was a good episode tonight - seeing the key storylines from each point of view. Scott Maslen has shone in this. The typical reactions, his expressions when dealing with ID'ing the bodies and his blame for Roxy which would be natural as he has lost his wife. I found it heartbreaking when speaking to Amy and the other children - it's a natural reaction and explaining death to children under 10 is very hard indeed. I think Max and Sharon are good supports for him. Glynis Barber played a good part when it came to the ID of the bodies - natural reaction for a mother who has a lot a child. I do hope Glenda can have a bit more of a role in this as she's an interesting character. Their whole worlds turned upside down. Honey's reaction breaking down was very real as well - she had a good little friendship with Ronnie, and I echo that Emma Barton has knocked it out of the park. I think Dona should have known as Rox was her friend, and glad she had that chance to find out. It's been interesting seeing it from all sides and we're seeing the ante upped.

I am glad Lee finally told Whitney about the job and money etc. It's something that has to be looked at with both sides - Whitney has had a life of poverty, and this was her chance to have good things and Lee was worried she wouldn't love him for the job hence his depression. Think there is a fair narrow minded people on here who don't know how depression works. One day you've got all...the next bottom of the pile. Nothing lasts forever. My other concern is what has Mick done - was a genuine injury from the barrells and scraped his knuckles or has he battered the crap out of Oz? Babe - mistress manipulator, but I do think deep down there is a genuine soul. I am surprised she hasn't decided to play a part by blackmailing Oz or is this is going to lead to her exist? Twelth Night looks interesting. I think we'll have a brief breakfast war with Kathy and Babe.

Michelle and Stacey do not see eye to eye - I do think this has added strain onto their marriage - does make you wonder why Michelle is back. Do we even know?

9/10 episode.

Oh and last thing, anyone who thinks SOC is bad - don't watch. The show is back to it's roots and we're seeing storylines from all viewpoints. All characters run out of a shelf life, and I do wish myself R+R had a better ending, but this is what was decided and in one way we've seen how a death effects the whole community, especially those who were close and knew the sisters. Seeing it from different slants makes it more real and engaging. I applaud the man. I think the beef is with the BBC, not SOC.

I have no idea when she exits but

I dont think you necessarily do either . I wasn't speaking about the world in general but Jack made a huge mess of it and could have used ttheir experience

I just can't buy the fact that Mick is perfectly fine with Babe being around, but can't forgive his own struggling son.

I disagree re Glenda, whatever she had had done to her face means she cannot cry properly. hell she cant even move the whole of her face at the best of times.

re Michelle, we don't know yet but her story starts next week

He probably will forgive him soon enough. But like with Nancy it will take time.

With Nancy people expected him to get over his anger immediately despite little Ollie being touch-and-go in hospital.

I sympathise with Lee but what he has done is a big deal. Especially for Linda who now has not only been raped in her own home but subjected to a violent robbery.

She has had work done? Sorry, I didn't know. From my point of view it was genuinely done. Everyone has their own opinion. Intriguing about Michelle.

I thought Babe was supposed to get her baps out?

what a let down

Why onearth didn't they make an announcement in the pub?
Something like that cannot be hidden!
Of course everyone wonders what has happenened, seeing the police, and a distraught Jack on his own
Plus I agree with some other posters, the professionals should have been there with Jack when telling the children

I think it is because Lee put his own family in danger just because of money

But Babe never put her family in danger for money. She ony does it to other people who are not related

I am not sure I could fiorgive my son if he risked his own familys life . His mother was raped in her own home and he then allowed her be burglared and terrified

her breakfast baps

sorry for the disappointment, If you hang about Sorcha will gets hers out in exchange for a few

That was more like it. Honey and Glenda were heartbreaking. Poor Donna, I'm glad someone told her. It's not fair to keep it secret because people are just going to put their foot in it and make things worse.

Silly Mick, confiding in Babe. She's going to blackmail someone over this....or just blurt it out in front of all the customers. Nice, she's not. She could even cook the books and blame it on Lee...she didn't hesitate to blame her sister for locking her in the freezer.

Why can't Mick get a small mortgage. He bought the property outright. Even Phil and Ian have mortgages.

Scott's doing a surprisingly good job with this s/l.

I'm there,here you go Sorcha

They're no match for Claudette's XL baps

This does feel reminiscent of Peggy being in debt in 2001.

Unless they're bringing in new characters to take over, I hope not though.

no offence to Sorch but she can't compare with Babe

Now you're talking

Claudettes Baps are unique

There will never be bigger baps in soaps that are as big as hers

Never

This episode was much better than last nights, very emotional.

I agree. It would be stupid to blackmail the guy who's put a roof over your head and given you a job, but this is Babe. She has the audacity let's be honest.

Poor Mick is a victim of the scriptwriters
