Am I missing something?

What hold does DS Swain's daughter have over Joel. that he keeps palming her off with money?

What has she seen or knows?

The whole Gemma and Chesney being broke is a nonsense. Benefits that Chesney and Gemma be entitled to with 5 children would be substantial (they're exempt from two child rule due to multiple births of the quads) Their child benefits alone would be approaching £3000, this is a calculation on Chesney working 25 hours a week at the kebab shop, and Gemma working 20 hours in the Rovers Return. If they earn more (say 30 - 40 hours a week) their UC goes down, if they work less UC goes up. Their combined income and UC ends up around approximately £5,000 pcm. Hardly skint.

She seems to be pals with Sabrina (Max's girlfriend) and she cottoned on that Joel was giving her alcohol.

That's what I thought, but as far as I know she hasn't got any incriminating evidence against him, he should tell her to do one.

Once he gave her that forty quid, she will keep coming back for more.
