Thing is, Leanne should be happy now she has got what she wanted,, shouldn't she? She saw Peter was heartbroken allowing Simon to live with her but he did it because he finally stopped being a selfish pig and wants his kid to be happy. So whatever Peter and Carla do now shouldn't interest Leanne if Simon's happiness is what matters to her, should it?
What I am saying is if Leanne is not a bitter, hypocritical, jealous, spiteful cow, I guess she will have no interest in Peter and Carla's relationship and will just want to move forward for Simon's sake.
and pigs might fly

Perhaps the Nunn thing will be the next stage in Leannes life? Perhaps some people will only settle when Leanne really repents for het past! Ha Ha, although someone probably comment that she had consumed too much holy communion wine and should therefore not be living in a nunnery as its not the right environment to bring up a child!

To be honest, they are both what you might call unsuitable role models for parenthood, however, the storyline appears to be that leanne has turned over a new leaf in her life and has to this point not let that child down and be a constant his life.
Is every parent perfect? I doubt anyone could say antone is, but at least we try our best for our children. I think some people are missing the point, yes people do drink, I can honestly say, I have put my children to bed and after a very hard day enjoyed a glass wine with my supper, doesnt make me an unfit mother!. Is Leanne to be a nunn, what next?

Am I the only one who thought Cris Cascoigne's acting was shocking at the end of last nights episode. I have read some people say how brilliant the acting was last episode, but I burst out laughing at Peter's break down at the end,I dont think that was the intended reaction? Only saying............?

When he fell to the floor it was good and really emotional but his facial reactions wasn't that great hes been much much better...

Sorry but we all laughed our heads off in our house

I think Leanne has been so two-faced about all of this, especially the wine thing. What if he had gone to find Leanne? Does she never buy a bottle of wine? She lives in a pub! And if he had gone to Ken's he could've easily found that whisky he's always drinking!
