Jamie makes Kathy go to Jaxx … Pip’s back at Brookfield

  • So Brenda’s staring work for Lilian next week, is she?!?
  • “Never a dull moment with my lot” … and that’s just the half of it!
  • It’s takes a boy to make the adults grow-up
  • Haven’t we all missed Pip?
  • “Why couldn’t I see him for what he really was?”
  • Kenton and Kirsty?
  • “Your mum”????
  • “As if he’s just the shell of the real man when he’s with me”




So Brenda’s staring work for Lilian next week, is she?!?

Hmmm. Not sure whether that was Pat is wishful thinking, or whether Brenda’s telling a few white lies again, but I thought it was firmly Matt who hired her?

Or is this all Tom, in attempt to hide the fact that Matt’s wormed his way back into their lives?


“Never a dull moment with my lot” … and that’s just the half of it!

Oh my. If pat thinks her lot are interesting at the moment, just wait until everyone’s told about Helen’s pregnancy.

It’ll be the talk of the village.


It’s takes a boy to make the adults grow-up

Atta boy Jamie!

Kathy finally steps foot in Jaxx because Jamie bullies/guilt trips her into going.

While I utterly applaud his common sense (it is utter rubbish that Kathy hasn’t been in), I did feel it was a bit of a one-sided view of what’s going on between Kenton and Kathy.
“No wonder he’s fed up … own partner can’t be bothered to see how it has changed … you should be interested …”

Too true that Kathy has been a “bit rubbish” in not going herself, but what about Kenton’s utter lack of interest in Kathy? Or, until recently, Jamie (since Sid died)?

Maybe Jamie doesn’t see it that way. He has said that Kathy’s been too much for him, so maybe (just maybe) Kenton’s laid back (to the point of disappearing out the door) approach has been right.


Haven’t we all missed Pip?


Well I indeed have.

Pip is more than welcome back to the fold. Fizz can stay as far away as Jude.

Hurrah to a Pip who knows about cow’s gait!


“Why couldn’t I see him for what he really was?”

That’s just what we’ve all been wondering, Pip, since you first met Jude.

It’s been a long time coming, but hopefully you won’t forget.

And sorry to be a tad horrible, but you should indeed feel very stupid. After all you’ve put us through …


Kenton and Kirsty?

Oh how horrid!

Kenton’s flirty is very old-dad style, and I’ve always seen Kirsty as a bit of a hipster.

Mind you, unless she and Patrick become more than friends (unless Helen gets there first, via Tony), there isn’t much of a rush for the young lady’s hand.

And isn’t it about time we had an affair.

But no showers. Or long soliloquies to hair. Please.


“Your mum”????

“I spare the time for a guided tour for your mum”

Now I know that some couples fall into that thing of calling each other ‘mum’ and ‘dad’ to their kids – but wasn’t that a bit strange of Kenton to refer to Kathy as ‘your mum’ to Jamie?

May I’m just getting paranoid, but it felt a tad distant of him.


“As if he’s just the shell of the real man when he’s with me”


So Kathy leans on Pat, telling her that she’s realised how far apart her and Kenton are.

It might just be that she saw him flirting with Kirsty, but she has a good point that he seems to be the one who’s now lifting Jamie out of his stupor … and that she was wrong and vindictive about Sid’s ashes … and that Kenton seems to have far less of a ‘good time’ when she’s around.

Part of me knows she’s not perfect, but a larger part of me cannot get away from the fact that Kenton has been a rotter since Sid died. Infact, he’s had little time for Kathy and Jamie since he met Jim, and the whole ‘new look’ Jaxx become a proper idea.

Kenton is going through a very public mid-life crises, whereas Kathy’s happy with her nest.

How long before it cracks wide open? A week? A Month? Certainly can’t outlast the year.
