… Alice top herself?
Listening to Harrison lay into her on the omnibus day, it feels like a viable option for her story arc. We don’t need to go through the rehabilitation journey again, and thus, the character has run its course. It would be a fitting Chris story for him to be a lone parent.
Having said that, I feel she’s too weak willed and despite declaring endless remorse, I don’t feel she’d have the resolve.
It would be a massive moment in the show but I don't think the writers would choose to go down this path with Alice, she's too big a character. And I think they will want to show that an alcoholic can turn their life around as encouragement to others.
My guess is George will confess to someone, maybe Emma and she will have the moral dilemma of turning her beloved son in. She won't at first but then maybe see how badly Chris and Martha are affected by Alice living with the guilt and possible jail time. She may have to turn her own son in.
