alfie moon a racist nasty comments from him tonight

The Alfie Moon of old would never have said those things even when highly stressed. He's turned into quite an unlikeable character recently.

[parkerman]

Now if I was Alfie I would a) go to the local Job Centre/DWP to see if there were any jobs going and see what benefits I might be entitled to (including housing benefit) b) be prepared to look further than Albert Square for a job and c) go to the local Citizens' Advice Bureau for help with rescheduling my debt and more advice on benefits.

But I suppose all that is a bit too much like living in the UK, and we know, of course, that Eastenders is set in some weird parallel universe where none of this applies. So far better to set fire to your house and lose everything than...er...lose everything....

See that was so good I had to say it twice.

nobody sets foot outside the square under any circumstances, unless:

1. to go to a car auction
2. to go up west to shop....

or 3. to go on the run

Alfie did say he was going to the job centre and Kat did mention benefits, although the rest of the storyline doesn't make much sense. He's not going to make a lot of money from burning down a rented house, is he? I assume they've got home contents insurance but they'd need to use that money to replace their furniture etc, so how does he think they'd come out on top? Anyway, it's not likely that someone who hasn't paid their rent for six months would be paying insurance.

I think Bianca's really selfish to be leaving now. It wouldn't hurt her to plan to join Terry a bit later when she's sure Carol's ok with it. Also, how can they afford that big house when neither of them will have a guaranteed income?

What was with DI Keeble's smirk when she came for Jay, someone I doubt she's ever had any significant dealings with before?

By the way here's Jay's interview with the police, a scene that's not being shown in the show itself for some reason.

I would have thought viewers would want to see that clip . This storyline is getting so bloody annoyingly fragmented it beggars belief. I know the big reveal isn't till Feb 2015 but come on producers you're having a laugh. It will take a month to bring together all the sub-plots so far ,let alone those to come. Finally what the bloody hell's the point of filming something you're not televising ! Rant over.

I know, it's annoying isn't it? I don't actually mind about the story being drawn out for so long as investigations can take a long time in reality, and delving into the storyline every now and again is keeping me interested. Not showing crucial scenes is a bizarre decision in my opinion though. I know we'll get all the information but it's characters as well as storylines that keep us interested. I think lots of viewers are keen to see more of the fascinating DI Keeble too!

Apparently, the scenes could be watched by pressing the red button after yesterday's episode, but I missed the announcement, as I'm sure lots of people did.

There's also extra scenes of Jake and Billy being interviewed that I missed at the time.
