Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[lizann]

Last week should have been called "Tanya week". Jo Joyner carried those episodes very well, making Tanya believable and sympathetic.

Yes I dont get when it was Branning week considering Tanya surname is Jessop and her family's name is Cross

+ 1 for Jo Joyner being excellent as was the actress who plays her mother

That Cora is one crap Cook. What has she been doing for the past 40 years?????

Looks like Lauren is developing a drink problem but can she play an alcoholic as well as Phil is the question though

That Derek fella is scary even though his facial expressions are very like Popeye

That's funny I'm getting used to him, I think. I find him much scarier than Phil

Yes, I'm sorry, Dutchgirl. I apologise for my remark. I think language could be a problem here. Racism, as the word suggests, only applies to races. Homophobia, however detestable, repugnant and loathsome is not, and could never be classed as, racism.

I will agree with you however that Masood and Zainab are homophobic as are all Muslims who interpret the Qu'ran in the way they do. Sadly, many Christians are also homophobic because of their literal translation of the Bible.

I think the word dutch was looking for was bigot? thus covering homophobes, racists, sexists etc etc

I certainly hope he is scarier

Is Rainie living with Jack and Derek now?

I wanted Massod and Zainab to kiss and make up tonight

Talking of the Masoods...

1. How does Mas find the time during the day to sit around in the cafe, go off and see Jane, go and see Zainab and do all the other things he does? Is his post round just Albert Square? Does he not deliver letters anywhere else? Does he never have to go to the sorting office?

2. Have the scriptwriters any idea what it is like to have a small toddler around? Oh yes, just put Kamil in front of a DVD, that'll keep him quiet! No need for parental supervision. Right!

[Dutchgirl]

Poor Zainab all is not well. Amira is getting spoiled again.

Derek worries me. Bad vibe( good acting though!)
