i was wondering the same? thought maybe i'd accidentally missed half a dozen episodes? all i can gather is that she's 'hit the bottle' and is kinda 'living life to the full' after her terrible year (?) cancer.............. er... cant remember what other traumas she's been through? (as if being married to 'R' Jack Sugden wasnt traumatic enough!!!) lol
She wants to live life to the full as this is the 2nd xmas she shouldn't have had or something because she might of died of cancer-
but she is acting like shes popping pills and drinking!!!
