Eastender current episode discussion IV

[kaz21]

May have been mentioned before, but why is there such a strong bond between Sharon and Michelle ? Sharon even readily accepted her little Denny being whacked by Michelle , and reasons given. Not at all like Sharon and the protective screen she normally puts around him.

That's what I said, so out of character for Sharon.

Everyone blaming Preston not Michelle "the adult" I am glad Preston is gone

Yeah, they really need to ensure Michelle isn't portrayed as a victim. To be fair it's only really herself and Sharon who are feeling sorry for her (and the latter is losing her patience). Even Ian is staying away (except to rant about the chippie).

They have a very long history and deep bond, and Sharon has forgiven Michelle for having babies with both her father and ex-husband so I don't think it's that out of character. I think she would have been more likely to have been angry about it if Michelle wasn't lying in hospital bruised and heartbroken, and if Denny hadn't been such an evil little brat (though admittedly she often turns a blind eye to her son's misbehaviour).

Would a woman of nearly fifty really be that naive about driving dangerously and causing a near fatal accident under the influence?

She's in lurve.
And stupidly so.

Being drunk clouds your judgement.

Yes, agreed, though what I was trying to say (but didn't make very clear, sorry) was that I thought Michelle's attitude during her police interview was very naive - and she was decidedly sober at the time!

I didn't see that bit - but I have been out Monday and Tuesday nights. I caught the last few minutes of EE last night before Holby started.
I will have to catch up!

the doctor should warn her the drowiness caused by sleeping tablets everyone else's fault but her own

I liked the scenes of Tina in the Mitchell house with Michelle, Sharon, Louise and Dennis and Derek is good to have around

Ben and Jay scenes are always good, I thought Abi was going to move in with them

[Dazzle]

Good to see Michelle finally starting to come to her senses and take some responsibility. She and Tina work well together, and it would be nice to see the latter as part of Sharon and Michelle's friendship group rather than as just a Carter.

I quite enjoyed the episode. Love having Derek back. I think now Michelle has hit rock bottom she will build herself up again. I thought the scenes with Tina and Michelle were good and I liked the nod to the past with mentions of Arthur and Pauline.
