We *heart* Dot and Jim
Wow! Struggling Dot finally crumbles and realises she can no longer look after Jim.
It's already been a tense week as we've seen a worn out Dot over-working herself; trying to juggle work at the launderette, caring for Jim and managing with her bad shoulder.
Ìý
It's just typical of Dot continuously refusing a helping hand -as we all know she's "not one to fuss" - but even she can't do everything.
The old fashion girl has always been about principles and following the rules regardless! So being there for Jim 'through thick and thin...in sickness and in health, until death do us apart', was the motto for her to stand by.
Deep down, confused and lonely, may not begin to describe how Dot is feeling. It certainly hasn't been an easy ride for Dot with Edward seeking her affections. Now,Ìýwhat will happen to their friendship?
Ps...you can't help but love the moment Dot watches her and Jim's wedding video *wipes tear of eye*. Emotional!
Show the love for Dot and Jim!

I hope that John Bardon will soon be well enough to return to work on a more regular basis. He and June together are a treasure, and I'm sure it is a great thing for stroke survivors and their families to see him still working.
And to the commenter above who said that Jim is leaving EE: That is actually not true. That was a false report in the tabloids. He is not being written out.

Surely in our ageing UK society there are far more senior citizens struggling to care for ailing elderly spouses than there are women whose babies have been snatched, girls who have been sexually assaulted by their mother's lover or even parents coming to terms because their child has Downs syndrome. And Dot's problem will be faced by more and more elderly people as the government fails to deliver on care for this group and local authorities are told to cut costs.
