Sunday Comments - October 27

Thing is you do need samples from both potential fathers and the mother for a DNA test but when did that ever stop a soap plot? I suppose that could at least rule him out if that were the case. i.e. you definitely can't be the father. The baby kept wrigging away from the swab stick. How did they manage to get her to do that? It's also astonishing that you can mail off samples on Monday and get the results on Wednesday (as it happened in the UK episodes).

It's DNA day. The results are coming to the salon and though Audrey doesn't open other people's mail, won't the envelope have the DNA testing company name on it? Apparently not. And it came by courier needing his signature anyway. David's first reaction is to call Tina. Kylie's radar is definitely up regarding David's apparent interest in Tina when she's feeling ugly and unattractive herself and you can see why. David is sly and she knows it and he certainly is acting like he's up to something, which he is, just not what she thinks. Now that Kylie's suspicions are banging off the walls, there's nothing David can say or do that will stop her thinking he and Tina are having a fling.

David and Nick are waiting for the test results and Nick has his mind set on telling Leanne the truth if the baby's his.  And the winner is.... David Platt! I'm glad, really. But it's still going to come out. I guess that's one thing off Nick's mind but he seems disappointed or else he's just pissed that David has the upper hand. I don't think there will ever be any brotherly love between them ever again, though there was never a lot in the first place. There's always been a lot of resentment on David's part towards Nick the golden boy. And Oh God, the letter got left at the hospital in the midst of their fight. Letter, Letter, who's got the letter! Of course it didn't get straight back to David's hands and is now sitting in a dvd case for the King's Speech where Gail hid it from Kylie thinking it was a surprise hotel reservation which David now has to make  and ensuring they mailed him a confirmation to cover that particular track.

Sure enough, they found the new hotel reservation first and Kylie thought it was for David and Tina giving us a reason for a big confrontation. Kylie insisted that Tina tell her the truth but Tina stayed quiet and in the face of all the evidence, Kylie had to believe the hotel was for her. Where on earth did she and Eva take the dvd with the other letter in? Why would they have left the house with it? Oh. to watch it at Eva's house I guess but it still feels weird and contrived. Now we just have to wait to see if Kylie finds it. Bets, anyone?

Nick might regret mouthing off at people but it doesn't stop him, especially with Simon. The visitors seem to be there constantly, one out, one in and that alone might be an irritation. Nick can come home but he's still in a perpetual bad mood.  Now he's home, he's still nervous. I think Leanne is too. She's going to have a bit of a struggle with him I think.

Roy aces the written test as expected. It's the driving test that's going to flummox him and the support group is not something his type of personality can relate to but he's doing it for Hayley. He thinks she could find it upsetting and maybe she will but she needs to talk to others going through the same thing. The first person they met sure has a positive outlook on what she's facing but Roy found her crude and scary. Hayley put him straight. Jane has inspired her to do things her own way and damn anyone else's opinion. Hayley's made a fast friend of Jane. Roy doesn't seem to be one to make new friends easily. Jane's visit did make Hayley feel a bit maudlin and sad. In a way, I'm glad we're seeing that Hayley's not always feeling positive.

Meanwhile, he's planned a day out in Blackpool for her and is taking her to the ballroom. Fiz is good at covering for Roy and is being a good help organizing the Blackpool trip. Now Roy has to learn how to dance and pretty quick so he's asked Norris to help. Norris was actually nice for once, he must like Hayley!


Steve has all the financing in place for the purchase of the pub. He wants to keep it a secret so Stella tells Leanne and now the pub sale is a done deal. I wonder how many days it will take for Michelle to find out unless Steve's very lucky. Stella et. al. will move back into Kevin's house for the time being.

Barry's not too sure Michelle will be thrilled about the pub. Stella isn't too sure Michelle will like the surprise either. They're probably right. Keys are passed over along with the paperwork. Now to spring the surprise. Yep. The words Lead and Balloon were the ones coming to mind. She thinks of it as a jail sentence. Good times, good memories, like.. Steve breaking Michelle's heart over Becky, and though it wasn't mentioned, there was that debacle over the switched babies too. And he's still lying about how he financed it. Loan? His face was full of lies on that one.

His heart's in the right place, I'm sure she knows that. Her ego's hurting from what happened with the factory but if he'd kept her in the loop, either he wouldn't have bought it or at least she'd have been consulted. Loved Michelle rubbing Tracy's face in the pub sale. She definitely was jealous after all those years trying to get Steve and install herself in the pub when he owned it. Steve and Michelle both get their names over the door. Steve can have it now apparently because there is a time limit after a criminal conviction and he's past it. He can now legally be a licensee.

Big confrontation in the pub between Tina and Kylie, lots of hair pulling and screaming. Just in time for a long leg encased in a stiletto to arrive. Now who could that be, I wonder! IT's Liz!!!! and she's there to  break it up and no doubt, to reveal that Steve has lied yet again and she is part owner! Now there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, so to speak.

Carla was surprised at Peter's choice of a PA, without discussing it with her first. To be fair, Sally does have more experience. Oh Tim, you did not just use the old trick of only have a few coins in your pocket so Sally would pay for the drinks! And yes, you can see the comparison between Eva and Sally as far as being a man goes. Sally is taking it all very personally.

It's nice that they've remembered that Kylie and Eva are friends. It's Eileen's birthday. Maybe not so memorable as one or two in the past but Barry wasted no time cozying up and flirting. She felt pretty awkward. I like the friendship between Carla and Hayley so much! Today's the day they're painting the flat and they haven't even decided what colour to buy? Picked a bland colour in the end. Tommy wasn't happy that David was helping and he's a bit suspicious now, too. He doesn't trust David, does anyone? Julie and Brian are moving forward in the fostering process. Barry butted in with his opinion that pretty much mirrors Brian's. Oh, I didn't realize that Dennis was still a lollipop man. Tracy and Tina are bitching at each other.

Barry seems to be a spare part, no real purpose in life. He's wandering around like a lost soul but he won't go home. Barry seems to be a character in the classic feckless vein, not wanting to do any hard work helping Steve and Michelle move and Michelle is taking the reins in hand.
