He was Big Mo’s SON IN LAW? I suppose that doesn’t necessarily need to make him younger but I thought he was at least 10 years younger than 92.

I was confused thinking hed died last year, thwn realised I was getting him mixed up with Tony Martin.

Big Mo is apparently in her 90s on the show. Laila Morse is 80, but yes, Viv was Mo's daughter who passed away before the Slaters joined the cast.

I loved Charlie. He was always empathetic. Beautifully written.

RIP Derek

Michelle Ryan posting a forlorn selfie in tribute is sending me, sorry

Maybe she'd just had a weak tea and that was the reaction.
