Thinking about Claire taking the children away, the eldest one, Josh, isn't hers or Ashleys really is he? If I remember, wasn't he Maxine's and the doctor she had an affair with? This doctor (his real father) was in Corrie a while back trying to get access to Josh but hasn't appeared since. Is he perhaps going to come and claim custody now?
and also..........she was moving to France with her parents (or just her mother) the police can trace the mother I am sure. It's very silly at this point but she's not got to the airport yet.
