I don't know for sure but she has missed some key scenes when she really would have been there and Gail has come up with some flimsy excuse as to why she's not there so I'm guessing she is ill in really life has cut her work load.
Also why did she say she couldn't describe those two thugs who trashed her shop last night because she was so upset? These was one glaringly obvious thing that anyone in the real world would have pointed out, that one was black and one was white. Or isn't that allowed in PC soap land? Another stupidly unrealistic story line.
That reminds me, I've got a sausage role in the fridge for lunch.
Yes, I thought it was odd that she couldn't remember their appearances at all and that they went into the cafe first where several others would have noticed two strangers
