Were Christopher Carter a mother, he would most probably have been left to get on with the brat-wrangling, shingles or no. No doubt his own horrible mother would have rallied round a bit. Taking a sick baby away from its primary carer seems rather cruel (to it). And if Alish is, as he believes, an unfit mother, why did he dump the child he apparently wanted so much on her?

Prepare to spew. I don’t think they can be shoehorned back together for Valentine’s Day in a week’s time, but I put nothing past this week’s scriptwriter. ---

> [@Fanta](#): > > They are going to end up back together oh, TBTB might well do that to us, but it would be a _disaster_.

Not quite fair: four of the five Aldridge spawn have qualified for, and even gone to, university, and so has grandchild Phoebe. ---
