Literally, in the case of Carly who is fortunate enough to be exonerated of a murder charge on her eighteenth birthday.

It was too much. There was plenty going on without it. Frank is one of several series regulars who have become the embodiment of small mindedness for plot reasons in recent episodes. In Frank’s case, he is unhappy about the idea of his almost wife going to university rather than being there for him. Naturally this annoys most of the other characters, not least Donald who wants Bobby to build on her success this year. Ailsa similarly feels Bobby should go to uni, but seeing she’s determined not to, comes up with a middle ground: Bobby vacillates over the idea of going to uni. I’ve lost track of whether she currently is or isn’t going, but I appreciated yet another early storyline being name-checked along the way: Carly and Bobby’s changes dovetailed into a scene that began with one of those enjoyably frustrating conversations in which both speak out loud about their own dramas while ignoring what the other one is saying, and ended with Philip arriving to say he, too, is considering leaving. There’s the toss of a coin and the decision is taken. Altering several lives forever and spoiling the first Christmas Stacey had hoped to enjoy since she was a small child.
