1. All eyes on Bear

After Simo blew the case for the defence in court on Monday, May 4 solicitor Zara felt they had only one option left: let Bear testify. He has previously made it clear he doesn’t want to go in the witness box as he can’t control himself when under pressure from questioning. He’d already proven that in the police interview room, but Paddy reluctantly agreed with Zara it was the only choice they could make now.

It comes after Simo got angry on the stand and revealed Bear was Ray’s favourite who got lots of special privileges. Simo was very clear he had been a victim but Bear had not.
