I still think the Mortons would be more interesting if they were Travellers. It also took me a minute to figure out the word play involved in Jerry’s Hat Trick, aka Geriatric.
The stuff with Claire is getting a little silly. When she was introduced, she was very straight-laced, save for a penchant for doing shots, innocent and yet she wasn’t a fool. It seems they deliberately dumbed her down to make a few plotlines work. Claire of a few years ago would have seen through Tracy’s act, not to mention whatever this Casey woman is up to.
I’d say Leanne’s £50,000 is still around but dwindling a bit. The escorting may be earning her some money but she’s neve been frugal, has she? Whatever nest egg she’s trying to build will never get very large if she can’t keep away from the shops.
I don’t think Clares actions are stupidity I think they have more to do with her need to be NEEDED and her thinking that she’s a bit smarter then the rest. Plus ppd really does mess with your head, as does being a stay at mum
I wonder if Janice is going to end up pimping for Leanne.
When I was a young smurf I spent a summer in the mountains of Austria and Switzerland doing a bit of climbing and learning to yodel a bit along the way.
Snogged a few alpine beauties along the way if I recall…
That trick Kaleigh and Gramps played was straight out of Paper Moon, but I suppose Dev can’t be expected to have watched such a wholesome family movie.
Didn’t Claire’s friend Casey say she found it hard seeing moms with their babies? Call me crazy, but I think she’s going to snatch wee Freddie, I say I think she going to take the tyke!
Ken seems to have two settings: totally and frustratingly complacent, and full blown rage. He needs to find a middle ground.

Actually, we did hear about Doreen’s bobs when Jamie, unloading her stuff from the taxi, exclaimed to Norris: “You should see the size of her bobs!”
I like that Jamie has developed into someone with the charm of his dad and the compassion of his mum, although with the wealth and taste of neither.

HA!
The grifting Morton daughter is Kayleigh, not that anyone cares.

Couple of things:

That said the story is a bit blah.
