I agree, the baby swop story should be brought to an end - if Alex has an allergy, let him not have his epipen with him, then he can be killed off!
Other people I would get rid of: the family who run the chippy/kebab place, David and his girlfriend, Lauren, Paul, Rosie. I like Carla and Michelle (must be the only female on the planet who does!)
What mother in their right mind would allow David to act as he is - moving his girlfriend in without even asking, taking over the place - Gail must be a bit thick, so she can go as well!!
