Picture gallery: w/c 23 August 2010
Parenthood problems dominate this week's episodes, as proud mum's (and mums to be) find that life's not childsplay...
Captive audience
Minty and Sam get serious when he visits the pregnant prisoner. But what exactly is Minty proposing? Does he risk being locked up too, for possession of a dangerously loud shirt?

Max and mini
Abi looks thrilled after getting a makeover, but we suspect Max will give her short shrift over the length of that dress.

Making the grade?
Lucy and Peter get their exam results. Is Peter hoping for an 'A' in advanced deep fat frying? Lucy, meanwhile, probably didn't need to open the envelope to discover how well she did. Naughty girl.

Result!
Proud parents Ian and Jane look thrilled at star pupil Lucy's exam results. If only they knew how she managed to do so well...

Emotional moment
Something's really upset poor Jane. Denise is on hand to offer some comfort, but what's reduced Mrs Beale to tears?

Ashes to Ashes
Max tries to calm Stacey as they disagree over his plans for Bradley's final resting place.

Actually I think Jane, Christian, Roxy, Tamwar and Syed would make a great grifting team, they could con him out of all his money then stand back and laugh! :-D lol

Abi does look really great but any Dad would say something about a skirt that short. And I'm sorry to say lol but Minty's shirts are awful!

I think Max needs to let Abi grow up.
Peter thinks it's suspicious about Lucy's grades.
How can Lucy keep on doing this to Jane?!
I think Denise knows about the cheating, and told Jane.
WATCH OUT STACE! BECCA'S EVIL! SHE'S EEEVVVIIIILLLLLL!

Rita and Samantha (Ronnie and Roxy) are doing a great job aswell and also loved Syeed and Christians (Mark and John's)story line! In fact the whole cast are blazing a trail! Well acted, researched and handled! You've got me gripped again at last! :o)

Its a bit odd the way the've just veered away from that storyline?I just wondered as thought it would be good to know what happened to Ben after Phil & Peggy left the detention centre?! Surely Cal would have given Ben a beating?? lol
Also I've heard "Cals" character has a dad coming into the show?? New family coming in?
