Eastender current episode discussion IV

[Mikita]

Sharon Marshall more or less confirmed an adoption won't be happening. Whether that means Sharon and Phil will have the baby or Denise will change her mind I don't know.

I guess I should have known there's still plenty of time for things to go wrong - and that no EP would let a baby Mitchell go.

Kim and Denise's mother do they try for the baby, even can they?

The Shirley and Denise scenes were stand out brilliant.

Carmel do you call yourself a friend?

When the kids called Dots flee ridden cat 'Dave' for some reason I thought of "Only Fools."

The Babe/Mick scenes were a bit rinse and repeat.

Diane Parrish is doing really well in making Denise so sympathetic at the moment. I think she could have appeared harsh and soulless if being portrayed by a different actress.

I can understand that her friends and acquaintances are deeply shocked that Denise went into hospital and had a healthy baby but chose not to bring him home, but it would be nice if people like Carmel would at least listen to her reasons before making a judgment.

Phil's obviously not 100% sure he's made the correct decision. That's realistic in the circumstances of course, but in soapland the secret troubled look is usually foreshadowing something.

At least tammyy2j's above question about Denise's family being able to get custody has been answered. I didn't understand when Denise mentioned something along the lines of Phil taking the baby from the hospital. He's got absolutely no rights unless a court orders a DNA test, so could be done for kidnap if he took him. In fact, he'd have never even got near the baby without Denise's permission in real life.

For some reason I thought Babe had put cannabis in the coffee.

I think this story is being done fairly gently and very well. Phil's look got me, he's not convinced, maybe he thinks Sharon doesn't want a baby.. or wouldn't want Denise's baby.

Babe needs to go. Is a tram going to fall on her and squash her with just her shoes sticking out? please!

Did you see the hand of the rat handler?

As in a coloured baby? I wouldn't think Sharon racist but I do think she don't want the baby

Babe is getting to be a complete joke in the same way Phelan is in Corrie. She can break the law with impunity it seems. Kidnapping, blackmail and now possibly poisoning the adult population of Albert Square and no-one does anything.

Mind you, no-one cares much about law-breakers in EE.

Spoiler:

At least we know Babe is leaving soon.

Did you see the hand of the rat handler?

No, I didn't notice that.
