so what is the deal with max, after all the businesses starting with the pub
Interesting. A good duff duff. I wonder who that old bloke was? played by Simon Williams.
I loved Shirley on the tube, although it was pretty revolting her eating that kebab. Had to laugh at babe and what she said to Sylvie in the Vic. She is an evil old trout.
Hate what they are doing with Whitney and Mick and is it me or is Danny Dyer just going through the motions, he was pretty ropy again tonight.
I thought the show had a lovely community feel, something lacking in Emmerdale and the Street, their genuine concern for Dot was heart warming. I was also pleased that lady found her little boy.
The montage spoilt the episode hate, hate montages, no need for them on a show like EastEnders. Down side of the episode, Whitney isn't still under the bus. :(
best thing mick can do is be honest straight away with linda and lee
It sounds like Max's "friend" wants to turf everyone out and redevelop Walford perhaps? Intriguing stuff! I'm delighted that Max is bitter and twisted under the forgiving facade. :D
It's sick I know but I can't deny that I'm a bit disappointed nobody died... :ninja:
Whitney and Mick... :eek: :hmm:
I liked the montage, especially as it helped lull us into a false sense of heartwarming security before the dramatic duff duff. :p

He might lose both of them forever though. That kiss was unforgivable (especially for Lee). I think the best thing to do (at least while he thinks it over) would be to go to Spain for a prolonged visit and remove himself from the situation. Whitney's vulnerable so I doubt she's got the strength to leave.

denise thinks it is an affair she will blab to someone, mick should go off to see linda i think the show could do with a break from danny dyer
whitney and lee are no good for each other, she should go off to bianca or ryan, she will always want mick more than lee, she is infatuated with him, fast recovery to be able to jump up kiss mick
I must admit I forgot about Denise. Yes, Mick would do best to admit all to Linda (I still think it would be too damaging for Lee and I doubt Denise would ever blab to him anyway).

if her and kim get back on speaking terms i think she may blab to her
this is the 2nd kiss mick has to put distance between himself and whitney

Yes: even if this most recent kiss was completely one-sided on Whitney's part (and it didn't look that way to me), Mick bears some of the blame for helping to reignite her feelings. He and Linda understood why it happened last time (because Whitney is terribly messed up by the sex abuse) so he shouldn't have allowed them to become so close. He's been inappropriately touchy-feely towards her recently.
Danny and Kellie have always said they don't want Mick and Linda to have affairs so let's hope SOC listens to them.
it looked like mick kissed her back plus it took long enough to pull away
I wonder if Max has anything to do with the bus crash after last night episode.

Did he jump in front of the bus with a scary mask on and frighten the driver so much he had a heart attack?

A bus was on Martin and Whitney but not long after they are in hospital and are not seriously hurt so up and about :thumbsdow
Was the purpose of the bus crash just for Whitney and Mick to kiss :sick::angry:
Who was the man with Max and where were they?
Where was Billy, Sharon and Phil?

Yeah I was disappointed at all the apparent miraculous recoveries but hopefully there's more to come. As far as I'm aware, at least two characters had head injuries but refused medical attention (Kush and Donna) so they're still at risk.
As for Martin, the doctor was worried about him and wanted him to get a scan. Has that happened? Lots of fans are speculating there might be something wrong that will affect his fertility. Given that straightforward, planned pregnancies are almost unheard of in soapland, I think that's very feasible.
Was the purpose of the bus crash just for Whitney and Mick to kiss :sick::angry:
I'd say the most significant outcome (so far) has been that the community now trusts Max again - just as we discover his fiendish plan to tear it apart. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/devil/smileys-devil-042296.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)
I could do without a Mick/Whitney affair I must say, although them successfully struggling to control their feelings could be interesting viewing.
Who was the man with Max and where were they?
They were in The Shard apparently. The man looks to be some kind of "legitimate" businessman who wants to buy up Walford cheaply and gentrify it (something that's very pertinent and also fits in with the new EE set that's being built).
Where was Billy, Sharon and Phil?
Billy was stuck in the traffic jam that held up the emergency services. Why does that always happen when there's an emergency in soapland? :p

So, here we go, Max is going to become a villain, while Ian and Jane continue on their merry way....
So, here we go, Max is going to become a villain, while Ian and Jane continue on their merry way....
Well fans have been crying out for Max to get his revenge and I doubt Ian and Jane will escape unscathed. :D
Fictional villains can be pretty sympathetic if we understand their motivations and, given that we've already been shown Max self-harming, I'm hoping that'll be the case for him. His experience in prison has left him hugely scarred and the blame for that rests with Ian, Jane and those who conspired with them. Hopefully the writers won't forget that.
At the moment it looks like the real villain will be Simon Williams with Max as his henchman. I'm excited to see how this storyline will play out.

I thought that Martin was going to be crippled after that. Even when he was stood up, I thought he'd collapse. Whitney sat up to kiss Mick, so she seems okay too.

There's been criticism for years that Walford has stood still since the 80s and is now nothing like the modern East End of London. Speculation is therefore rife now that this storyline, along with the new set, is being used as an opportunity to bring the area up-to-date. I think this sounds very feasible given the little we know at the moment.
As you say though Glen, if that's what's intended it's going to be a fine balancing act to make big changes while keeping the same feel, so I find it hard to believe Max and his mentor's schemes will be a great success. If Walford goes significantly upmarket, none of the poorer residents will be able to afford to live there!
So, here we go, Max is going to become a villain, while Ian and Jane continue on their merry way....
i wish i had dazzle's faith in soc of not turning max into the villain to save ian and jane, he deserves his vengeance which if it is taking apart and destroying walford he will be the villain, his brother jack has properties there and is he the reason dot has lost her job with launderette closed

If it's anything like the market street where I used to live in Hackney, all the stalls will be turned into trendy upmarket food stalls selling camomile and herbal tea or caffeine-free lattes with seaweed paninis and coconut and lemongrass rednang.

I didn't actually say Max wouldn't be a villain! I said that knowing why he's the way he is it's still possible to have sympathy for him. You yourself say he deserves his vengeance and just about all online discussions I've read about this agree. That's sympathy, and the one short scene of him self-harming has bought him lots of it. We also have no idea how far he'll take it before he comes to his senses.
In my favourite ever drama, The Sopranos, the main character did some truly evil deeds and sometimes to characters we'd grown to love, and yet it was hard to completely hate him because we had such deep insight into his tortured psyche. In fact he was sometimes even sympathetic. I don't expect EE to ever reach those dizzy dramatic heights but then I think it's unlikely Max will descend to Tony Soprano level of villainy either. :D
I actually feel more warmth towards Max now than I may ever have because he's been treated so unfairly. He's never been a nice character after all (remember Lauren trying to kill him by running him over, Tanya burying him alive, and Abi having no trouble believing he murdered Lucy?). One of the reasons I've never hated Ian and Jane as much as some of you is because Max knew about Kat and Janine's plot for Kat to lie in court to blame Alice for murdering Michael so that Janine would change her story about the stabbing to get Stacey off the hook (in other words he was involved in doing to his own niece almost exactly what was done to him).
It'll be interesting to see how I feel about him in a few months' time. That'll all depend on the level of acting and writing...
(And yes, I do think he was likely involved in the launderette closing.)

i just think maybe everyone in ee wants to forget lucy's murder and max imprisonment as they don't want ian jane and phil in jail

I believe we're long past the point of them being jailed anyway which is the only ending that would have satisfied you I think. :D
I wouldn't say I have faith in SOC because it's still early days for him as EE producer (plus I've been burnt before by DTC). But I do like his style in general so far, and think he's made Max into a far more intriguing character than he used to be. Since I had no particularly strong feelings about Max's false imprisonment then I'm easier to please with regards to what happens next with the character, and am really looking forward to this storyline playing out without being too worried about the fates of Ian, Jane etc.
i would like jail, a working fair justice system but is that perhaps an oxymoron :p , dtc left soc in a tight spot wrapping up the lucy storyline satisfying
Really good scenes between Sharon and Phil tonight. I really wish Phil wasn't such an utter scumbag because at times like these I'd like to be able to like him. It'd be nice if there was to be a permanent character shift (even if it's only subtle) after his liver failure ordeal. (At least let the Mitchell marriage remain strong so that we can be done for good with the Sharon leaving/forgiving him merry-go-round!)
Neither he or Denise are showing any signs of regret about the adoption...
I'm not really enjoying the teen characters being given so much screen time (although to be fair they're not the worst bunch of teens EE have ever given us). Unfortunately,
I've heard that Louise's two new female friends and Keegan are all regulars now so we're going to be seeing a lot more of them. :thumbsdow I can only hope they'll all end up murdering the thoroughly unpleasant (though unfortunately realistic) Keegan...
Jay shows yet again that he's the best young character on the square. Thank goodness he's being given more to do nowadays!

It is as though the bus crash never happened. Aftermath? What aftermath.
I can some up the episodes so far in one word "Disappointing."
If I wanted to watch an episode of Grange Hill or Waterloo Road I would, I don't need EastEnders turning into a second rate version.
Thank goodness we only have 3 episodes this week.:cheer:
I've thought this week's episodes were good (ignoring the school kids) as everyday episodes but not as follow ups to a disaster. I do find it strange that it's as if the bus crash never happened. Again, Phil and Sharon stole the show for me, and Denise/Stacey giving her boss/Carmel what for were great. The Sylvie scene was plain weird...
I think it's a mistake to let the Max intrigue drop after whetting our appetites. Casual viewers who tuned in just to see what Max does next will have been sorely disappointed and might not bother again. I think it's going to be a slow burn storyline.

He's still working at the undertaker's but was doing some work at the garage to earn some extra money.

We can't be sure of that yet. Max becoming a local hero for example or maybe the crash has affected Martin's fertility; there must be some reason for the announcement that he and Stacey were going to try for a baby while he was still in the hospital. Carmel siding with the stallholders over the possible removal of the market....who knows?
that teen drama is awful, anyone care
poor denise kim really embarrassed her
phil wants to holiday with sharon to recoup

I don't completely hate the teen drama but I think it would be a lot more watchable with decent actors (although I think Bex is fine).
Kim humiliating Denise in front of her class was pure evil! :angry: I really hope Denise sticks to her guns and doesn't speak to her for a loooong time (I didn't say forever because grudges never last in soapland).
What was with Ian sleeping in the Vic at lunchtime? Did Babe have something to do with it? (It wouldn't surprise me if I missed something; I'm a bit woolly headed at the moment because I'm getting over the flu... :o)
steven was saying ian was up most of the night going to toilet so got little sleep, could ian have prostate problem or just trots :p

Right thanks, I do vaguely remember Steven saying something like that now you mention it.
Since I wrote my previous post I've read online speculation that it could be the start of a type 2 diabetes storyline for Ian. Fatigue and excessive urination are both symptoms of that.

I'm not minding the teen stuff as much as I did (perhaps because as a long term viewer of the Aussie soaps I'm used to lots of teen/high school scenes in my soaps), but I definitely think it's a mistake to make them the main focus of an episode.
The fight looked really realistic! :eek:
It seems likely to me that Michelle will end up working at the high school since its playing such a big part in EE nowadays. I'm not sure how she'll explain away her affair with a seventeen year old student though!
What a nasty piece that Emerald is dropping a bombshell like that and then running... :wall:

The only reason I can think of is that Bex still inexplicably feels some loyalty towards Louise. I hope the latter doesn't get away with sharing those pictures and that Carmel involves the police when she finds out.

Witless Whitley is an utter Bitch.
The scenes with Stacey and Max in Pat's kitchen were brilliant and very natural. I thought the scenes in the police station were very good and liked the style of direction going from Babe, to Shirley and then to Mick. Linda Henry was brilliant as always. You just knew she was going to make a crack at the WPC when she was being touched up/patted down. :D Babe is a rotten old cow. And this is the first time I did feel sorry for Mick.
I thought a much better episode tonight.

Just two points...
1. Lee said he never goes into work and just phones up sick every day. So is he not required to send in a sick certificate?
2. Remanded in custody for a licensing offence? I don't think so!

Personally I'd much prefer a Shirley type cheese sandwich to an Abi one. However it is symbolic of the ongoing battle between the old Eastend and the modern trendy place it's becoming.

I think this has moved it too far away from his depression. He's messed up - but some people who leave the army have issues that they find very hard to deal with. But this bouncing from suicide to slapping his (albeit very annoying wife... I mean, they've written her as a complete airhead - pawning her rings to pay for a night out... something I think was really foolish considering the debt Lee's got himself into and the issues his dad is having with the pub) is really horrid.
Are they writing it that Whitney is also having a break down?
Are they writing it that Whitney is also having a break down?
It wouldn't surprise me to be honest since she's under an enormous amount of stress. Her "happy ever after" has been destroyed within months. Her solution to Lee's problems of a night out paid by pawning her rings was a very bad call (though to be fair it was suggested by Johnny), but she was genuinely trying to help him. Unfortunately, she has zero understanding or insight into his frame of mind (which isn't uncommon).
I think your point about Lee being ex-army is a good one. We know from countless news reports that they have a greater chance of mental health problems, homelessness etc after returning to civilian life.
is lee on meds and seeing any councilor, he should pack in that call centre job

Mick is really annoying me with his attitude. You Kissed Whitney! A supportive parent?
I don't condone what Lee did, Whitney may have deserved a slap, but I don't agree with hitting anybody, men or women. I can't work out if Whitney does love Lee. Both are damaged goods and screwed up. I don't think Whitney could ever have a "normal relationship."
EastEnders wound me up tonight, the writing was far more supportive towards Whitney and don't get me started on Lauren. I wonder if Lee finds out about Whitney and Mick?

I am so annoyed. The script writers have really screwed up, so we will have Saint Whitney. Do me a favour! I hope Linda never forgives Mick. I cannot abide him now. I will miss Danny Boy Hatchard.
I did enjoy the scenes with Dot and Jack, also Lee and Patrick.
Was this Lee´s exit??? :hmm:
I think it must be because it felt final. It was a melancholy ending for him. :( Mick's going to feel guilty about the way he's treated him recently.
Michelle and Preston really went for it! :lol:
I hope Bex has now wised up to Louise and that the song about "someone who I thought liked me" is about her traitorous and uncaring "friend".

The Dot scenes were very good tonight. Mick has got a nerve. If I was Lee I would wash my hands of the lot of 'em and just go and not even contact Mick.
The Ben, Jay and Kathy scene was good, however the rest was a bit ropy to be fair. I loathe any teen scenes and what accent has Preston got? It ain't yanky doodle.
An hour is too long for EastEnders. Coronation St might be laughable with poor actors (I have seen better actors in a Sunday School play) but it's an easy watch, something EastEnders isn't these days!

Really not liking the new Michelle and the scenes with her and Preston snogging their faces off were just yuk. Michelle is seriously deluded if she thought the teaching agency wouldn't check her references!

Michelle's growing on me (apart from the Preston thing) but I agree she was deluded to think they wouldn't check her out before employing her.
It was a nice surprise to see Lee. I'm so glad he isn't going to just disappear without a word. I'm assuming tonight will be his final appearance and I hope Mick treats him a bit more kindly this time rather than just repeating that he should "man up" and "go and sort his head out". :thumbsdow

I agree, she made her bed, now she has to lie in it.
is lee going see a councilor in dover, if i were mick or johnny i would go with him make sure he ok there and will linda be told
mick needs to keep away from whitney i mean why employ her
I founds Lee's final episode really affecting but I do wish someone had suggested he seek professional help in Dover. Everyone knows you can't outrun your troubles and, while getting away from the relationship and family (particularly Mick recently) that are chipping away at him might help in the short term, it's unlikely to make much difference long-term. Hopefully there'll be happier news of Lee down the track (I think Mick seeing the fox in the bushes at the end hinted that Lee would "find his place").
I thought Lee's conversation with Whitney - particularly the part about always expecting her to wake up and see the real him - was a very good explanation of why people with low self-esteem struggle to maintain relationships. :(
I don't know whether Dot is deluded or not about her eyesight but I couldn't help but smile at her positivity. :)
I realised tonight that the long-running bin collection problems plaguing Walford are probably part of the plot to destroy the area. If so, it's certainly working as far as the Vic is concerned. Max and his criminal friends must know people in high places on the council. I wonder if the food poisoning reports are also part of it?
where did all polish come from flight over from poland for vic session
I don't like the fact that Michelle is looking for a teaching job. She should just admit she broke the rules and not do teaching anymore.
I don't think many people are that honest with themselves and also unselfish enough to give up the career they love. She's admitted now that she did the wrong thing, which is a start, but I don't know if she'll be sensible enough to accept that she abused her position and should no longer teach.
I still think that Michelle's reappearance in Walford and the school starting to play a part in the show are no coincidence, but the writers will have to get very inventive to get Michelle teaching there - and to get viewers to accept it!

Lee's confession that he nearly committed suicide was completely swept under the carpet! He told Mick straight after confessing to committing the robbery so I could understand that Mick didn't really take it in at the time, but to never mention it again... :searchme:
Mick did everything he could to destroy Lee's self-esteem still further with his constant sniping about the need to "man up"etc. I do understand that Lee's part in the robbery was almost unforgivable but, since Mick continued to have some kind of relationship with him, their lack of a real in-depth conversion about WHY Lee did something so out of character is inexplicable to me.

How has Mick got the right to take Whitney and Lee's flat deposit back? I assume he paid it in the first place, but surely a landlord would be obliged to return the money to the tenants and it would be their place to return it to the person from whom they borrowed it? As for Mick giving notice and Jack accepting it without consulting Whitney... :wall:
Mick is so controlling that it's no wonder Lee has emotional problems. He was lovely when he first moved to Walford, but, as we know, ordinary people with normal lives who move to Albert Square become shells of themselves within months. Look what happened to poor tragic Ronnie and Roxy... :(

I was hoping Whitney was going to see Bianca again and stop in Milton Keynes. :angry:
I don't have any problem with Whitney per se. She was hopeless with Lee's depression but at least she tried to help in her own way and she's still very young. The same can't be said of Mick. It's just super annoying that the Carters have more sympathy for her than for Lee.
As for her attraction to Mick (for which Whitney receives a lot of hate online), she was groomed into having a sexual relationship with a father figure from a young age, so I see it as perfectly understandable that she's developed sexual feelings for another father figure (especially one who's been so overly supportive). Tony manipulated her thoroughly into believing their relationship was natural, and I imagine that's an extremely difficult state of mind to shake off completely.

The Lee storyline - from depression, setting up a robbery after spiraling into payday loan debt has been a bit depressing. Some might say true EE style.
We saw a complete stranger have more empathy for Lee than his family, and the crippling pressure society and relationships put on people to spend more than they have. But we also saw a character descend well into hell - dealing with depression, debt, disastrous decisions and then taking advice from a dad rather than the lovely Patrick (I thought Lee and Patrick's conversation was going to help Lee stay) ...
Whitney was kept in the dark, but maybe naively showed little sign of giving a *&^% about how they would afford to have their own (vile little) bedsit. She must shoulder some of the blame. And the kiss. Well unforgiveable for them both.. and is the tension smouldering away still? Maybe now Mick's shown her he wants her near him still ... it's a dodgy dangerous game to be playing.

Bit in bold 1: I'm not so sure Whitney should shoulder some of the blame for their financial situation. Yes, she was demanding about the flat, but Lee insisted that he had a well paid job so she believed they could afford it. What newly married (or was it about to be married?) couple wouldn't want their own place if they could afford it? There was no reason for Whitney to suspect Lee was taking out payday loans to finance their life.
Bit in bold 2: Yes, once again Mick is being very stupid. It might seem cruel now, but it would be best for both of them if she went to live with Bianca. Living together, in the absence of Lee and Linda, when they're both at low ebbs and there's an attraction simmering between them is asking for trouble.

She was made redundant (or possibly fired?) from her childcare job which is when she started working in the Vic. I don't think it's likely Whitney would have the strength to stay away from Mick at the moment because she's become emotionally dependant upon him. He needs to put space between them.

I had to laugh at Dot on her lappy, Bushes. "Oh I say."
There was plenty going on tonight in EastEnders, plenty of humour, Kim in court and Denise saying "I'm going down." Jay and Ben taking those plates from Kaff's Kaf.
I thought it was a really rounded episode with plenty of light and shade. And they say EastEnders doesn't do humour.
Line of the night goes to Denise: "He vandalized Jane's bush."
Bushes did feature quite heavenly tonight. :D
i hope Dot and Matthew are OK... :eek:
Dot had wet or has wet maculars in one eye only, theoretically she still should be able to drive unless her other eye is compromised, which it seems it is. When they see you at the eye hospital they clearley tell you not to drive after they have done all their tests and rated your vision. Well they certainly did in my case, not that I needed telling, I can stare directly at a lorry coming my way and not see it as the central part of my viosn is mashed nd \I hve to rely on jinking eye to see things... my plu is that Ive been doing that most of my life but someone like Dot has suddenly got the condition and wont know how to compensate.
Anyway, it s moot point here, a close relative also like me is registered severely sight impaired / blind still insists on driving, challange them on it andthey say I can see fine and kick off that they arent as blind as me.. well \i would say they are worse.. I would say its a scary trip when they drive but what do I know \i cant see anything:cartman:

Stacey's face was a picture when she walked in on Ian in his birthday suit. :(
I thought it was only Dot's one eye that was affected too, Splashy. We haven't been shown her being told by a doctor that she shouldn't drive (at least as far as I can remember) but, if she was told, I suppose she thought it no longer applied since she believed her eyesight was improving. :(
What kind of idiot is Michelle for sleeping with the hateful Preston a few hours after he used poor Bex by charming her into bed to spite Michelle. It's pretty shocking behaviour on the latter's part (and that's before even considering he's her ex pupil!). I thought that at least she'd come to her senses now and realised she'd abused her position by having the affair - but apparently not! Are the writers trying to make her as unlikable as possible? :wall:

Two episodes in one sitting is too much, its like gorging on a whole box of Milk Tray, nice at the time, but you feel yucky afterwards. The schedule for this show is all over the place. I believe we have another double bill on Tuesday.
I thought the episodes were okay, nothing amazing but watchable. Every time I see Whitney I wanted to stab her. Lee stop in Dover mate, you are much better off. The best part of the episode was Tina and Sylvie. Also nice scenes with Kathy and Tina.
The Vic scenes were a bit repetitive, just let them loose the boozer and get a new family in.
Louise you are no friend of Bex's, you are silly spineless wonder. Call yourself a Mitchell? or is she still a Fowler????

Yeah it confused me too .... Whit is obviously scheming her way into Micks bed ???? Babe Shirley and now Linda out of the way all she has to do is silence Johnny.

Michelle is never going to get a job in teaching at any level, she cant hide a huge section of her employment and one phone call to the last one would sink her every time. However she could other jobs like taxi driving etc as she would pass a CRB check and wouldnt need give references, she claim she was a house wife in the US and job done as she has no criminal record there. But I also ponder who is the most morally bankrupt her or the kid.

Just had a quick look Kaz on Google, should have greatly reduced the risk, but has to be installed ,set and regularly tested by a qualified electrician. Whether that would have been done at the Vic with cost cutting ? The other thing that Splashy mentioned was the continual " turn it back on " from Whit that although funny probably gave poor old Sylvie several extra doses. Have to stop there, started me laughing again for what is a tragic fatal accident.

I suppose with everything that happened, and thinking she was in bed, she thought she was ok.
Yes, I think so. Even in care homes and hospitals they don't keep an eye on people all the time.

A good episode. Hard hitting. Good script by Daran Little. Poor Sylvie. Both Tina and Sylvie have been superb in recent episodes.
so tina thinks sylivie killed herself on purpose instead of going to a care home
bye preston
does bex need a new bed fellow maybe she should try staying off sleeping with jerks, chastity belt martin can get her :p
sharon comes back and straight to ian and michelle, no checking on dennis and louise
carmel is jealous :p denise has a fella a younger fella
I really like Kush and Denise together. :heart:
I'm so glad that little git Preston is gone. His and Michelle's affair has been so badly written that I feel sorry for Jenna Russell. I hope Michelle can be redeemed now - though what she allowed to happen to the already vulnerable Bex is almost unforgivable to my mind. Martin was wrong to hit Preston but I can't really blame him for doing so.
Sylvie's death was tragic :( (though - like Glen1 - I couldn't help but laugh at Splashy's comment about Johnny finishing the job by repeatedly resetting the fuse :lol:).

It does seem odd Mick not being at the Vic and with what has happened to Sylvie.

It is absolutely silly.
They will need to write lots of stuff post funeral indicating that he and Linda had been there but had to go back to wherever they are.
it is really hard I imagine for scriptwriters to have to do stories when the cast who should be there aren't.

I hope they do write Mick and Linda as having attended Sylvie's funeral, but unfortunately these types of awkward situations are as often as not ignored in soaps.

The scenes with Ian and Jane in the restaurant were amusing, the Kush and Denise scenes were nice and Tina (Luisa Bradshaw-White) smashed it.
Michelle grow up and take some responsibility.
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. :hmm:

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

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? :searchme:

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!

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 :p
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.

Not sure about Shirley sentence? I presumed by Spoiled goods, means Denise has been round the block a few times?

A very good episode tonight and nice nods to the past. As much as I am a huge Pauline fan, it was good to see she was far from perfect and had many flaws. Jenna Russell gave a very good performance tonight and I am warming to her portrayal of Michelle. Lovely scenes with Dot and Michelle. Martin has gone down in my estimation walking out of the Vic. Pleased Ian forgave Michelle.
I can just picture Ang looking down on everyone with a big g & t saying to Sharon, "you've done good girl. Cheers Darlin. " :)

did mick say shirl ended up getting longer sentence around 6 months
kushie is hardly a virgin
did mick say shirl ended up getting longer sentence around 6 months
Shirley was sentenced to 3 months , was due out on parole after about 6 weeks, but has had 3 weeks added for punching her cellmate.

for some reason thought it was 3 + 3 as in months oh well glad the cellmate got a hiding and it was a serious hiding from shirl back to her bad girls days :p
One good punch to the cellmates stomach, no witnesses, sought of leaving present . So the cellmate must have dobbed Shirley in it. Ought to have denied it.
She wanted to be kept in longer tho. That's why She did it.
did carmel not know innocent max was away in prison, she must be the only one

Liking the wicked Max, after revenge and who can blame him. I'd start with his beloved Lauren. He is winding Carmel in, hook, line and sinker. Had to smile at Kim, she cannot help herself. Ian with that bacon and lettuce was funny. We can all relate to that. :D
max's revenge needs to speed up and aim at beales, michelle has done more damage to them that he has so far :p

The Bex scenes were unpleasant to watch, hard hitting. I am not sure how this will end. I so wanted to smash those girls faces and as for Louise. This is being handled so much better than the Coronation St bullying story line.
I don't know how brave EastEnders will be with this story line, but there are many tragic consequences of bullying.

I too so want to smash that girls nose in.
It is horrid to watch how powerless Bex feels and just how vile these girls are. Louise needs sorting out too. She's as guilty as the others.

I think Louise is worse as she claims to be Bex friend :angry:
I am sick of Denise and Kush all loved up kissing madly scenes, what about Denise and Phil's son is that all over?
In one respect Louise's attitude is worse, she knows it's wrong, the other two are absolute cowardly thugs. The assaults on Bex now extend to inside her home and bedroom ,both should be places of safety and security. All around her paying no heed to events. Martin's on the market he knows the two girls are about, should be red alert time. What the hell's Stacey playing at ,surely knows who they are ?

I think Bex family are assuming as Louise if her good friend the others must be also
Stacey should have asked Bex if she wanted them in the house before just bringing them up to her room

did the school ever tell martin about what happened bex in the toilets, was it just brushed off by the school

Martin went to the school ,bags of lip service from the principal and form teacher coupled with lots of hugging , awh's, and the situation basically left with the teachers saying they would monitor the situation. I would hope in reality all schools given that set of circumstances would automatically call the police and get the lass medical attention. In Martin's place ,I'd be contacting the local education authority closely followed by the school governors.
