Babes Behind Bars

what happens

Dominic returned from his holiday. Shell told Karen about her childhood - both her parents sexually abused her! She is then worried about her kids, who were staying with her. Karen then set up a visit for her with her mother Rita so that she could discuss the kids. During the meeting, the truth came out and Rita was quick to blame Shell's father. She was told that Shell's children would be taken into care. Yvonne distributed mobile phones to Denny and the 2 Julies - they set up a sex chat line, with Yvonne's daughter Lauren's help. Dominic wass shocked to learn that Zandra had a malignant brain tumour - she needed further tests to determine if it was operable or not. Later, Dr Nicholson unsympathetically told her that it's inoperable and that she had months to live! Dominic voiced his anger that the Dr was doing nothing to help her and that she should be released for her final months. Shell joined the Sex line plan, now called 'Babes Behind Bars', much to Yvonne's annoyance. On Crystal
