Ben getting rich because he is a Mitchell is stupid.

 

Mel looks so old :o

Yes, god forbid a woman age 16 years. I think she looks just fine.

 

Don’t see the issue with Ben stealing the money either.

Why is Karen's racism being made comedy almost?

Mr Popadopolous - 80 year old Dot's boss for years, doesn't age past 30? :lol: Also really well off and suited up for a dingy laundrette? Riiight.

 

Did Mel get the money? :o Surprised as they usually give the money to the men.

He is Mr Papadopolos Junior. His dad was Dot's (spoken about but never seen) boss.

Struggling to understand how Ben lost that money :lol:

lord this is getting worse again

Struggling to understand how Ben lost that money :lol:

 

I echo this post, he had the case with him at all times :lol: I never saw the switch, unless I blinked at some point for a split second :lol:

 

Is it possible the money was taken in last night’s episode?

Since when did Mel became all hard?

 

 

I think it was switched when someone broke into the garage. Ben checked it was still there but he didn't open it up.

I mean if I was Ben i'd be so paranoid and checking the money every 5 minutes :lol: This feels a bit limp as an exit for him, just kind of lumped in with Mel being able to have something to do straight away.

What happens to his business?

 

Obviously it was switched when someone broke in - I reckon it waaaas Phil maybe or Aidan? As Mel seemed so convinced that Ben had it that she followed him to France...

Is SOC back in charge or...

I think it was when the arches got broken into that the money in Ben's suitcase got switched for the newspapers, also when Ben checked the suitcase that day he didn't open it which is what I would have done. It was also weird how Ben drank a glass of beer that an uninvited stranger in Mel handed to him with no hesitation at all. She could have spiked that drink for all he knew but he still went ahead and drank it anyway.

Why is Karen's racism being made comedy almost?

Agreed. Karen's made so many improvements since the repugnant character we were first introduced to and now she's regressed right back there with all the pathetic racist comments.

 

What's even worse is that we're supposed to laugh along with it.

Since when did Mel became all hard?

 

Possibly after having to raise a child alone after her husband was blown up in a car. Oh yeah and shortly before that she was kidnapped because people thought her husband shot Phil and she realised it was actually her unhinged best friend. Plus she’s been awol for almost 16 years, you can’t expect her to walk back in exactly as she was.

 

And besides, Mel was always made of tough stuff.

Mel has ALWAYS been tough - she held her own against Phil AND her gangsta husband. Tbh she has done more in 2 days than Kathy has since her return - the one thing Kathy did was the Bald Eagle Ball Grab :P

 

You know when Karen asks if Mel is 'the pol' and when Mel says no, Karen gets all friendly and jokes about the Mitchells being mobsters? Do we have the same law as the U.S where police/ investigators HAVE to say they are law enforcement when asked or it is classed as double jeopardy?

WHERE TF IS TANYA?! Genuinely not even a mention during this madness that Max is ensuing. I hope she will be back at least once more.

 

Also what is this terrible storyline with Tiffany? Literally have no idea what vould be the matter with her but it all just feels... flat right now.

 

Living for Mariam though and Shirley was just on fire tonight!

The show definitely feels a bit flat whilst John Yorke implements his changes. There are just so many plot points that don't make sense or haven't been tied up properly and it's so obvious that they've shelved months of Sean O'Connor's plans with nothing much to fill it (yet.)

 

I am really enjoying Mel's return though.
