    Lottie is Oliver and Caroline's fosterchild and is now Chris Carter's
    Hottie Lottie.

    Is Lawrence Harrington the racist?

    I thought the charming foster child was Carly, not Lottie. Isn't Lottie
    a chum of Pip's, doesn't she have a child the same age as Rosie?

    You're right about horrid Lawrence, though.

    Lottie is Pip's friend from school (not that I recall hearing about her
    at the time), who was rediscovered when Rosie started school with
    Lottie's daughter.

    We have recently heard about Lottie changing jobs to work at the
    surgery. Somebody here pointed out a discrepancy in how this was
    reported (Maybe she started twice, or started before she was
    interviewed, I can't remember now.)

    Lottie has appeared occasionally before, most recently in July 2024.

    Wrong

    Lottie is an old friend of Pip who has a child at school with Rosie.
    Lottie also knows Ian.

    We were told at half term she was doing the new job which was why Pip
    was annoyed that she could not get time off.

    Then several weeks later Pip told Ruth she had started the new job.

    Usual poor editing.

    Having just relistened to this week via the omnibus there was a huge
    oddity about the week. Ed only appeared on one day (Tuesday) when he
    had a conversation with Leonard in the GPO waiting room and later a consultation with Azra in her consulting room.

    Both conversations were excised from the Omnibus so he did not appear in
    the omnibus at all and this is despite being referenced in the Tuesday spoiler.

    Sometimes the bits cut are almost irrelevant to the ongoing story - but
    during the chat in the consulting room George was almost discussed (Azra
    could not talk to one patient about another patient), so this might be relevant.
