I can't help thinking that's not quite how it works with market pitches and the inspector being able to just close stalls down without a proper procedure to go through....however, on the plus side, it did mean Winston got a line!

Out of all the soaps EE have the best extra's, Winston, Shrimpy, Tracey, Johnathan Ross's mum (not sure if she is still in it.) I can't think of one extra on the other soaps I can remember or feel part of the soap family. Apart from Mrs Ecclesbottom who comes in for a blue rinse on a Thursday for David to pretend to do :D

An improved episode tonight. Robbie is a prized idiot. I was hoping for a replay with Kush and Martin. Mick found one of his knackers tonight, not before time. Abi is jealous. I doubt Lauren will go to New Zealand. I wonder if Max wants Lauren to stay at the Beales because of his plan for revenge? As for the two bullies, enough already, want this story to end!
If two thugs threw me in a bin Id call the police then get them kicked off the market... TBH it just made me like Rob, the actor is obviously struggling in the role, but the character has every right to say you havent paid your pitch fee then until you do someone else gets it.
Shirley having screwed over her son seems hell bent on destroying the business. Since when did she care about anyone else but herself, let alone a pot boy who only gets paid in booze. Why would either bloke compete for the job unless they are beer monsters.
So the bullies are going to do for Bex, sounds like an acid attack or something vile to curtail her talent. Depressing.

Are we going to see Kim, Denise and co on their jollies? I don't know whether the licence fee will stretch to filming abroad? Now if they were going to Southend or Clacton then that would be ok, or somewhere more exotic like Skeggy.
no more follow up on linda back with elaine, instead we get mick and fi which is better than mick and whitney
fi spends a hell of a lot of time in that pub
surely this is the end of those bullies

Seems to be. Feel a bit shortchanged though, for such a long running story I would like to have seen the police involved with Alexandra and Madison .Hope it isn't just going to be some hearsay that they've been expelled.

Sharon looked a bit bronzed tonight. Hopefully we will be coming to the end of the 2 bullies shortly. They have passed their sell buy date. Jay and Ben's scenes are always good to watch, great chemistry.

So what is Max's game, does he also want revenge on Lauren.
Here's a thought, with falling Ratings (EE against a clash with ED recorded its lowest ever figure 3.76 Million on Tuesday) if the BBC did want away out of EE, they could let Weyland and Co get their way with the square and that would be that. A bit like the Brookside ending. :)

Don't know about anyone else, but it looked to me, as louise on fire in the reflection of bex's eyes.
Yet another Alexandra and Madison nightmare to endure, can't believe the powers that be at EE keep going on and on with this worn out, repetetive storyline.
So Lucy in her more than obviously un flame retardant dress is going to .... well I dont read spoilers but I saw that coming a mile off.
But it is a good story line, there are vile people out there that cant stand others being happy and living their lives, they take sick pleasure in ruining things and as they have no compunction about how far they go or really understand consequences maiming and even death may follow. Their sad protest will be, that they didnt mean to hurt them really.. I did ponder how an as ult out of schools hours on Be was still a school matter not just a basic Police matter warranting at minimum a police caution.
Nice too see Mr Lister back, but it did make me wonder where he has been all this years since his running's in with the Red haird one. He certainly hasnt been on any kind of acting course.
Sharon is really getting the bit parts at the moment, her whole body language was screaming, did I really just have to get out of bed for this naff line.
Max is out to make all his kin suffer, fair play to the dude, thou I would warn him that Abi is the one most likely to bury him under her patio and not give a fudge, she will probably get Jane to drag his dead body there as she has experience of doing that.Or maybe just set chuckle junior after him, sorry I mean bobby.
The line about Sharon's bronzer lol. I said she wears enough make up, as it is.
doubt the show would have the balls to kill another mitchell off, so louise burnt has issues with image and scars then to miraculously recover
I thought it was a decent episode with a very good duff duff. I liked the way the final scene ended with the reflection in Bex's horrified eyes. I found the thought of Louise being on fire pretty shocking. :(

Yes, the rather heavy hints about Louise being "head hunted" for a modelling career is a bit of a giveaway as regards her burns and being disfigured in some way.

Compliment Carmel on the baked Alaska, and then tuck into a large portion.
But it is a good story line, there are vile people out there ............
Would not disagree Splashy with your comments , I think "was a good storyline" ticks the box for me. I've lost count of the number of incidents the terrible pair and Keegan have got away with ,repeated assaults, threatening behaviour, intimidation, criminal damage all over along period . Again for me this sidelines the message. Have no problem with the latest Louise incident except something similar could have been done a couple of months ago . (We've had burns injuries with Kat and Tamwar ) More about a convenient return time that suited Mr. McFadden maybe.

Brilliant scenes between Sharon and Lisa—they took me back to when EE was gritty and riveting. They're both favourite long-term characters of mine.
max opening up about his cig self burning to carmel, well done sir branning
My interpretation was that he only confessed to the self harm to deflect Carmel from his real intent in rummaging through her drawers (oo-er :o). It was good to hear him talk it about though whatever his motive.
I notice he couldn't get away from Carmel fast enough last night when Shakil turned up as they were about to kiss. That answers my question about whether he has any feelings for her (although I was already aware that he was using her for her connections to the planning department).
Where is Phil recuperating?

Was that a therapist in a hospital who Lisa was seeing lying about her time with Louise?
Max wants Lauren to suffer :cheer: I wonder what he has in store for Phil and Ian
Yeah, Lisa is obviously in some kind of metal health help set up. I cant fully remember her back story, I know Peggy and Phil wanted her baby not her, so full on bullied her and cut her out of her own kids life. Then later she got Lou back then suddenly Lou came back to Phil. Cant remember having clinical issues back then.
Yep, Lauren you did the unthinkable you sided with the Beals and let your own dad rot in prison. Now ya reaping what you sowed, twisted nightmare of a boy friend who you only really used to look after your kid which is actually his brothers.
I personalty hope he makes Jane suffer the most.:cartman:

Max wants to get even with Lauren as well. Poor Lauren being stuck with Steven for the rest of her naturals, I bet she hopes he snuffs it quick. Little does she know. I did feel a little sympathy for Carmel.
Max will come a cropper in the end, once a looser always a looser.

I feel sorry for Lauren at the moment for the twisted way she's being manipulated by Steven, but at the same time I can't help finding Max's revenge on her just a little bit delicious. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/devil/smileys-devil-042296.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)

is some of what max is telling carmel the truth, especially the prison talk, think it is
I think so: he's a typical manipulator, reeling his catch in with heartfelt deep and meaningfuls based on the truth so that he appears trustworthy.
When he was describing his grotty bedsit, I just knew we'd see him in a flash pad by the end of the episode (and unfortunately I've seen speculation that Fi's his girlfriend so that spoiled that twist :(). I'm glad Max's storyline is finally hotting up though.
So Lisa is psychotic (in the true psychiatric meaning of the word)? I'd have much preferred to see her strong and stable (:D) and ready to stand up to Phil. Perhaps his disgusting bullying has triggered an episode--he did almost destroy her before after all. :thumbsdow

Is Eastenders actually in it's death throws? I know we have joked about it ending and having a Dallas style shower scene, but the yuckyness with Max and Carmen and Fi is all a bit horrid.
And if they're bringing Whitney back to flirt/etc with Mick then that's just as horrid too.
The storyline with Lauren being guilted into marrying that nutter who is carrying on with her sister too... horrid.
Dirty sleezey storylines are not very pleasant to watch - perhaps they are hoping to boost rankings with people's outrage.

Couldn't agree more, RW. EE is plumbing the depths now, especially coming after the dubious moral issues of letting Ian and Jane getting away with knowingly allowing Max to go to jail for a crime they knew he was innocent of and the finding of Deano not guilty.
This whole storyline with Max is a desperate attempt to weasel out of the mess they got themselves into with the Bobby story. You see, although he was technically innocent, he is a villain, so it doesn't matter that he was sent to prison because he deserved it. So, good for Ian and Jane.
I did stop watching for a while and then returned hoping there might be some redemption and comeuppance when Max returned, but, sadly, it's just getting worse. I think I'll be off again very soon.

So Whitney is back in the square, can't abide her, what gives her the right to work at the Vic? :( I know she has had a tough, tragic, hard life, we all know her sad history but I cannot feel any sympathy for her. Yet I do have sypmathy for Lauren, being stuck with Steven. Abi was so funny tonight, a mini Janine in the making.
Karen made me smile, her heart is in the right place. I think Lisa will end up being sectioned. A good Duff Duff, Phillip is not going to be happy. We may see his red angry tomato face tomorrow.
I'm quite enjoying EE at the moment and think it's plumbed far worse depths (Linda's execrable rape storyline immediately springs to mind). And you couldn't beat the "Who's shagging Kat?" storyline for skin-crawling sleaze. :p
I think the Taylors have promise and Karen has potential to be a classic EE character. I also like Ted and Joyce and am looking forward to learning more about them. The gentrification storyline is intriguing. Abi as a villain is great fun.
I do think EE's days of being must see TV are gone though, and unlikely to return.
I have to wonder what kind of idiots wouldn't notice that Lisa's behaviour is somewhat bizarre (to put it mildly)?

You would think Sonia would have picked up on this. I agree re EE not being must see TV, I don't want that to return to be fair, because that cannot be sustained and was the problem with DTC's era.
EE is far from perfect but I much prefer SOC's vision for the show. A Shame he has gone, I wonder what Yorky has got in store? As long as we don't have helicpoters falling into the the roof of the Community centre I think we will be okay. :thumbsup:

Mick is jealous of Whitney Why? Whitney and Woody, seems a little odd. Why is she still in the Vic, kick her out! Well Linda will when she's back I am sure.
The Taylors are setting into the square nicely. I am pleased Lisa has got one over on Phil.
It has gone to far with Max now, by this time next year Max will be gone. Perhaps that was Jake Woods plan, he will go onto do other projects for other broadcasters. He is a real talent and won't need to go down the docu route taken by Ross Kemp.
I just think poor Whitney who has been used by men since she was very young is a very mixed up soul, and Eastenders have played her that way to their credit continuously without any sudden character shifts. It makes sense in her mind to come back with a man she knows Mick hates to get his attention and its working. Shes always had since her abuse this mx up of a farther figure and a lover.
Shirley as usual is trying to wreck the business, she would have them all out on the street and not care as long as she could control her son.
Max.. I like that he is making them pay but he needs to be careful with Abi that girls going to kill mark my words.

I enjoyed the scenes with Joyce and Dot.
Im glad Sharon stood up to Phil.
Well done EE ... Shaz saw the illness in Lisa for what it was and she was maybe very right that in no small part Phil and Peggy were the route cause of it. Not that is possible to say with mental health to any real degree as the problem may have come no matter what the circumstances.
The core of it thou was Lou could see her mum meant her no harm and indeed could see in her own mixed up way was trying to protect her.
Poor whats his face taking a Police caution on behalf of his mum, alas that could cost him the chance of a lot of jobs, certainly any they require a back ground check. But no doubt he will end up at the archers.
Its a real circle, Max really screwed up his kids heads, they resented him and disowned him, now hes back to screw them over again because they did what they did because he is a vile man..this story line could go on forever.

So, out of all the weeks in the year to choose from, Whitney had to choose a date for the wedding when Ryan is away on his honeymoon.
I thought last night's episodes were excellent. Lisa was heart wrenching, I loved it that Sharon was sympathetic to her plight, Phil at least had a glimpse of the damage he's wrought (and I hope there's more to come on that). Max's storyline is intriguing and plays to Jake Wood's strengths. The Taylor's are unexpectedly great.
I just think poor Whitney who has been used by men since she was very young is a very mixed up soul, and Eastenders have played her that way to their credit continuously without any sudden character shifts.

A very powerful episode. I agree, I am pleased Sharon was backing Lisa and it was nice to see Louise still loving her mother. We see Phil in his true colours and yes Phil has played a huge part in Lisa's condition.
Mick is a jealous idiot and hope Linda throws the Cockney twallop out on his ear along with the deluded Whitney. Can we swap Mick for Woody? I did feel for Keanu. Reminds me a bit of the Damon Grant storyline in Brookside.
Micks situation is a bit off ... his wife and Mother have sold his pub out from under his feet, you could say they did with good intent but the forging of his signature by a lady who has only just become his recognized mum and only owns 10 percent of the gaff was nasty and self serving, and even now she is intent on destroying the business as she hates the women who she sold it to?
As for Linda, where is she. Plot wise shes placed her mum over the importance of all her family, I mean whats the point of having a wife if you never see her?

The last few times we've seen Linda she's acted like she no longer wants to be Mick's wife. She's still staying away even though her mum looked as fit as a fiddle when we glimpsed her. I can't wait to find out what that's all about.

It's not a dead end, though admittedly it looks it at a glance. Phil lives at 55 Victoria Road (seen below in the bottom left hand corner):

So, out of all the weeks in the year to choose from, Whitney had to choose a date for the wedding when Ryan is away on his honeymoon.
And she cannot ask anyone else to walk her down the aisle but her ex father in law who she loves, could not Liam, Morgan, Terry or even Bianca do it
linda agreed with shirley to sell freehold behind mick's back, does she want away from vic maybe back with elaine to run her pub
was michelle eyeing up keanu, cant blame her as she does like them young
abi is max's daughter alright, enjoyed their wind up of stephen

I had this really crazy idea tonight watching Eastenders, why doesn't Keanu look for a job away from the Square where the people don't know him? But I had a nice cup of tea and soon came to my senses....

So Linda is back, loved the opening scenes, Kelly Bright has been so missed in the show, so pleased she is back now. Mick is a boy, Johnny is more of a man than he will ever be. Linda deserves so much better. I hope she kicks him in the nuts and tells him to do one and then throws Whitney out.
Is Keanu going to hook up with Ben? Poor Lauren, a devious Dad, a jealous revolting sister and a lying scum bag of a boyfriend.
A good Duff Duff. Can't wait for the 3 hander tomorrow. :)
Poor Mick has been totally emasculated by all the women in his life.
All the women have their own agendas and Im wondering if Ls is to dump mick get her cut of Maxs buyout plans and do one back to her mums. To me its obvious she thinks Mick and Whit are more than they are.
Ah, it would be ironic if Lauren ends up being dragged dead to the park behind Janes wheel chair to be dumped while Abi and Steven hook up to raise her kid. I mean Abi has already tried to drown her once in the past.

Kellie and Shona were very good in the 3 hander, Danny Dyer was okay, but seemd to be going though the motions. Glad Linda threw Whitney out. EastEnders was the better soap tonight, no quesiton, just a shame it had another clash with Emmerdale.
I felt Danny didnt like this turn for Mick, the gezzers being emasculated by his mum his wife and his would be lover. All are having a pop, ridding over him and blaming him for all the wores and corruptions they have brought on themselves.
It has to asked which was the marriage destroying act, Linda being away for 8 months and selling off the pub without Micks permission or one lonely guy kissing a lady once be he was craving affection because of the above.
Lindas twisted blame of Whitney for poor judgements of her son where evil, didnt Whitney pay enough when she became his punching bag.
I just felt like they kept repeating the same thing.

I agree, I don't think Dyer was keen on this storyline, he made it clear about his relationship with Linda and what he wanted for the characters and they have gone against this. It is similar as another poster has said to the storyline in Emmerdale with Zac, Lisa and Joanie. Both actors who play Zac and Lisa were less than impressed with the storyline and at times it showed in Steve's performance as Zac.
I think some times the script writers run out of ideas and go against the character and at times don't have a scooby. I suppose that's the nature of soap, a sausage factory keeping churning out the stuff week in week out and now we are currently getting 7 episodes of Emmerdale and soon 6 episodes of Coronation St a week, things are only going to get worse. The only good thing is EastEnders is staying at 4 episodes a week, I don't think the show could cope with anymore episodes right now and the BBC realise this.

Oo! There's an interesting thought!
Yes she was away 8 months ..
I don't know why Whitney told him she loved him, or why he told Linda he loved someone else.
It was all a bit of a waste of energy for the scriptwriter.
What happens next? Whitney gone from the pub and everyone wants to know why? Linda leaves and goes back to her secret?

Yeah you could be onto something Melons.. she did come back for her 40th, but couldnt rush off quick enough.
In the three hander she was obsessed with the kiss and blaming Mick, every time he had a valid point she would say, what are you laying this on me now, how dare you etc, typical deflection. I mean she was looking for an excuse to end it with him and had originally deceided it would be Bea but Whitney was a real gift in my books. I think her line about how they married to young and she should of let Mick roam the field before they hooked up said more about her than him.
Yep... EEis struggling to keep its audiance with 4 epps a week they couldnt do more, but then its got to be remembered their epps are at least 10 mins longer as they have no add breaks.

Sorry Splashy, but I don't agree that Mick has been emasculated by the women in his life. Yes, Linda's been away for eight months (looking after her sick mother for all of that time—or at least so he thinks), but she was only an hour away and he's surrounded by family. I'm not saying that Linda, or any of the others, are innocent (I think it was terrible that they sold the freehold from under him for instance), but neither is he. He's a bit of a bully who makes everything about himself, and is too stubborn to ask for help when he needs it. He treated the depressed Lee appallingly (even though I understand that some of Lee's actions would be very hard to forgive). He stood there and allowed Linda to assault and chuck Whitney out when he knows he's just as guilty, and that he's the one who wouldn't let their attraction go.
Basically, everyone's to blame for the situation—including that martyr Mick. :moonie:
Kellie and Shona were very good in the 3 hander, Danny Dyer was okay, but seemd to be going though the motions. Glad Linda threw Whitney out. EastEnders was the better soap tonight, no quesiton, just a shame it had another clash with Emmerdale.
I thought the three hander was OK, and yes Kellie and Shone were both excellent as usual.
Danny Dyer's been phoning it in for a while now. I can understand it if he doesn't like the storyline, but if his acting has deteriorated for that reason then someone needs to remind him that he's a professional and to pull his socks up. He's gets paid enough, for goodness sake.
I'm hoping John Yorke will revert Mick back to the nice guy he was when he first moved to Albert Square. He seemed liked a real breath of fresh air at the time.
whitney did tell linda go back look after her mother, leave her family i didn't imagine that did i?

Am I the only one bit confused with why Whitney returned to the pub? I know she's been treated like family but that connection is no longer and she's now getting married to someone else on top of the fact she kissed and wanted more with Mick. I just think its weird she wanted to return and essentially live indefinitely there after everything. Not to mention Woody works at Linda's mum's bar so surely Linda was aware of Woody and Whitney's relationship before coming back and proposal.
Finally, if Mick loves Linda so much and wants his future to be with here, why let Whitney back...
I was such a big fan of Mick when he came into the soap and when the whole Dean storyline happened.. A marriage like that doesnt get broken in 8 months. Not every couple on every soap have to go through this.
Glad the producer left and we have a new one.

Dan, I have given up trying to figure out why certain things happen and why certain people in soapland do things that you and I and everybody sane else would know would not happen .. but it is drama and I guess it is best not to question things too far .. although the writers really really test us at times lately.. well they test me for sure

To be fair, Whitney didn't expect to live in the pub again and was surprised when she was invited to do so. She still feels close to the whole family and the Vic feels like home. I agree it's not very realistic though.
Finally, if Mick loves Linda so much and wants his future to be with here, why let Whitney back...
He was in a quandary I suppose. He still loves Linda and doesn't want their marriage to end, but this newer infatuation felt more real (not to mention exciting) while Linda was absent.

Exactly... And she hasn't gone off back to where-ever she disappeared to or where-ever Woody is living. She's gone to Stacey's. She doesn't have a home in Walford anymore.
if whitney was with woody at elaine's pub she knows how well elaine is, none of this storyline making sense and mick sounds like he wants to have a jump off someone other than his el, the only one he has been with

So Max is having his "affair" with Carmel, with the full blessing of Fi, so they can find out who is voting against their building proposal.
Now, here's a thought, why don't they go on to the Walford Council website and have a look at the agendas and associated papers and the minutes of the Planning Comittee meetings or, go along to the Planning Committee meetings, all of which would be open to the public. It seems to me to be a more sure fire way of finding out what's happening than relying on some tittle tattle from a fairly low ranking officer in the Planning Department; all above board and without the inherent risks.

I didn't realise that information was open to everyone since I know nothing about how councils work, but it's bizarre that the writers didn't research it. Plus the line that gave the councillor's name away to Max was extremely contrived.
I did like that we saw a flicker of a guilty conscience from Max even though it didn't last long. If he's to be redeemed and stick around after this storyline's over, he needs to realise the error of his ways at some point and start working against Fi and the Chairman. I don't believe that Fi really cares for Max.

Soap writers never research the workings of councils. Both EE and Corrie just make it up as they go along. They write about it from pure ignorance assuming that most people watching don't know how they work either.

To be fair, their storylines would rarely allow them to spend so much time going through the real procedures because they can't wait 18 months or more for some planning permission to be granted because (a) important actor in that storyline might want to leave before the conclusion and of course it would hold up a lot of other storylines depending on the outcome of this decision

was that dog tablets abi gave stephen to make him ill?
Sure were, can't wait for him to ask Lauren to throw him a stick.

My dad didn't show any symptoms other than a cough, until about a month before he died of stage four lung cancer. So its not completely unrealistic.

Thank you, kaz. I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. Yes, I'm sure that can happen, but brain tumours are normally different. Look, for example at how Corrie is treating Rita's brain tumour - that's how it affects people that I have known with a brain tumour. Still I suppose everyone is different, but I am a bit surprised that she hasn't wondered why he seems to be showing no effects at all.

I am sorry to hear that but I would think Stephen should have some un well signs, I know Lauren asked him about his headaches, he has "only a few months left"
stupid leaving his dog tablets out so openly to be found
and again stupid not thinking baby monitor on after just hearing louis with jane downstairs and abi getting herself up duffy for stephen
how did stephen think even married to lauren he'd get custody of louis or is that max's plan

wasn't there something in the weekly plot info about him adopting the baby?
He asked Lauren about adopting him. Lauren said they would have to talk to Peter.

i would hope peter would not want his son adopted by stephen, where ever peter is, still in new zealand?
I did wonder if that was Laurens plan.
does max know abi and stephen cheating?

Decided to jump back on the horse as it is a big episode on Monday. I did find Donna funny when she said to Abi about having some whoopi:-
'Come on Ab's, I want details, all of them. This body hasn't seen action in so long, the next bloke that comes along 'ill have to bring a canary to make sure it's safe.'
So what is the relationship between Fi and Josh?
The scenes with Jane, Abi and Steven were very good.
jane conveniently overhears fi and max very anti climatic episode
Was that one of Kin Yong Unns rocket attacks :rotfl:
Her being in a wheel chair will make it much easier to dump Janes body on a common!
Linda pathetically looking for any excuse to flounce off again.

I enjoyed the episode apart from the end, but EE don't do stunts but there will be further blasts this week.
The sceens with Max and Jane were excellent and I cheered when Billy thumped Phil. I agree Linda must be wearing the wheels of her suitcase out with all the comings and goings. Abi is a delicious cow, rotten to the core.
Some of the comments on social media and another forum we won't mention were moaning about the stunt. Sadly much of the soap audience of today (who are a little bit wanting) expect big budget style stunts and are disappointed when they don't get them. This is the BBC and Elstree and not 20th Century Fox and Hollywood. (Rolls eyes and tuts)

why wouldn't you share the cancer news with your husband?
Becks and teacher unnecessary.
Totally tuned out what Linda was saying so missed that reveal.
Is this some post trauma relationship Bex and Teach are having? Just seems like something some writer sneezed up when they had bad flu and couldnt be bothered to create a good plot.
Its happened again Jane, you forgave Bobby what he did, he then tried to kill you, you forgave Steven for shooting you and now hes trying to kill you..... im seeing a pattern here .
Can the Police please hold Martin till they can recruit another less awful actor to play the part of Stays man.
Alas poor Big Mac from BBCs Doctors also known as James Herriot playing out the worst scene in soap history involving a gun.. who did he shoot.. his career is my best guess :cartman::angel:
Lets hope it was Tracy, it frustrates me that in all the years shes been on the show shes only ever allowed three words per year... actually thinking about it she would make a great wife. :cool::ninja::cartman::rotfl:

A good episode. As much as Jane is a ruined character now, I hope Jane does not die, but if they want the Max storyline to drag on I can't see any other solution? It was griping from start to finish, not perfect but enjoyable and now we have to wait until Thursday. :(

Yes, for once I am looking forward to watching the next episode rather than thinking "oh what a pile of poop"
But there's some silly fluffy bits in it still have been mentioned above. And the whole Linda storyline seems silly.
It was creepy watching Max put his arm round Stacey!

Bit obvious who was shot, tho I felt so sorry for Ted. He was obviously suffering PTSD.

So does Linda still have cancer, I am glad she did not cheat
I think she did not tell Mick as he did not cope well with Lee's illness or Nancy's injuries, I think I despise him more knowing she was sick and he after Whitney :angry:
Who was Linda and Elaine referring to as Princess in her pub, was that Woody?

Maggie Steed really impressed me tonight and was the stand out performance for me. I am biased because I do like the actress. Maggie was in one of my all time favourite detective shows, "pie in the sky" which also starred a very young Samantha Womack (Janus) as she was then.
I thought to start with that Fi's dad is the character played by Simon Williams and perhaps Josh is her brother? Is the Simon Williams character infact Wilmott Brown played by a different actor?
I can't work out who dies, I don't think it will be Jane or Johnny, but we will have to see?
Since when did London have its hospitals set in the middle of nowhere up country lanes :ninja:
I thought the actor that plays Johnny made for a very realistic corpse, far better than his being alive acting :angel:
One quibble thou, the lady with the gun was arrested and the cuffs placed behind her back, next moment the cuffs are on her front as she leans against the car, she must be very flexible to do that, no wonder the guy put up with her cooking for so many years. :cartman:
Yes and umm .. so Mr Beales ,why was the fire exit blocked, the sprinklers switched off at the mains and the fire start on a table because vodka was poured on it. But then EE Trumpton isnt very bright or ever there on time or at all.
Max and Lynda... isnt he already mounting the help :moonie:
All in all very entertaining, thank you BBC

In the words of Arnie "you'll be back." :D
Ok, ok, I admit I did watch last night's episode, because I'd heard it might be the one where Jane gets her comeuppance (though I should have known that of course she won't).
Now, about that fire, in spite of Steven spreading alcohol everywhere, the fire never seemed to get any bigger. There were just little patches of fire dotted around the place that didn't spread anywhere. Also, when someone asked why the fire engines were taking so long, someone mentioned a fire at the Town Hall. Now, how long after the gas explosion was the fire supposed to take place? Surely the fire engines would still have been on the Square, especially after something like a gas explosion, making sure everything was safe.
And, as splashy said, where did those country lanes come from!?
Oh well, that's me off again....
P.S. Still no news of Winston?
Winston is currently being held in the potting shed by all the un baby sat kids on the square who have now gone feral, their ring leader is Pearl who like her daddy is a gangster.
So Stevo has carped it and Mrs McGrew sorry I mean Jane lives on. Of course she wont name Max because she wont want to upset Ian and so the sorry circle continues. The only people suffering here are us viewers.
Poor teacher bloke is in for a world of pain, Bex is now bound to go all love lorn and cant see why they cant be together, right down to the I will wait for you ater prison convo.
Poor unconscious Paramedic in the back of the ambulance, Lynda didnt give a shed about him or her.
poor abi up duffy by stephen who now loves her and then he stuffs it

As Max was lurking looking through the door at Jane going in, I was shouting "Don't let him in there" .. He's going to have to finish the job.
Maybe he'll get caught and get sent down for something he actually did.
