Bold - Hope this is correct and Imlie does the right thing by handing off the baby to her real family.
As for those multiple lawsuits, I have three words for them "Aryan Singh Rathore". Realistically, he should have been able to help the Tripathis take on Malini without breaking a sweat. On top of that, they had enough evidence on Malini to send her to prison. But that's not the story the writers want to tell. Hence, ASR suddenly didn't remember his own vast resources or the video tape they had of Malini trying to murder Imlie or confessing to her various crimes.
At the end of the day, this is ITV and the writers want Imlie to be Gudiya's mom. So who cares that Gudiya already has a family or how easy it would have been to take down Malini?
