(very ashamed to say this) I feel sorry for Deano.. you could see how happy and proud he was to be called "son" and to have his mum but he feels he has to go along with the rest of the family.. Deano really wants his mum and Carly is stopping this... she needs a slap. Mind you, even Chelsea who doesn't know her says she doesn't like her, so why pretend??
I loved the bit in the bar last night with Shirley, deano, chelsea and Mickey.. It was a bit of fun humour that is much needed in EE.. Loving Shirley, she is a breath of fresh air to EE
Aww I thought that bit was good too. Im quite surprised I like Shirley, at the start I thought she was going to be... well to put it nicely horrible, but i think she's alright
May is really starting to annoy me. Surely, if you tell your husband to start having a supposed affair with his mistress, it's going to involve him snogging her under your nose, or where it is risky, because otherwise they are likely to suspect you don't really want to leave your wife.

God! How could May just sit there and listen 2 that?!
Other than that though, it was kind of boring. I've hardly watched it at all this week.
Just been waiting for next week... ;)
That May is mad!!!!!!!!
She must be so desperate for a child

Caught a bit of it tonight (given up watching) and saw the 'hilarious' scenes with Darren, Mickey, Li and Preeti. Absolute rubbish. These are characters that need to go in the industrial shredder...
..along with Rob and Dawn. Deary me, painful to watch. This storyline's ruined May, who seemed a good character before this baby nonsense spiralled out of control. She now comes across as a mad, psychologically flawed and mentally ill doctor. Just like your average GP then??

I don't think the May/Rob/Dawn storyline is boring. I quite like it. I really feel for May, she must ber desperate if she is willing for Rob to start up the affair just in order to keep hold of that baby. It was so sad when she had to hide in the bedroom and cover up her ears to ignore the sound of her husband sleepinmg with Dawn outside though as Rob said this was her idea to bein with. I guessed it probably was because she told Rob he had better go alone to the hospital and do whatever it takes to stop Dawn aborting the child, I guessedit would be something like this. Its not fair on Dawn of course but i am sorry for May. I think that because she knows Rob realy loves her and there is no emotional invlvement she can just about put up with him having an affair with Dawn.
What was all that stuff with darren yesterday? imean if he is selling things online why are the things in his room and if they are not stolen as he claims why shide what he's doing?

me and my family are taking bets on whether May's going to go on a killing spree sometime soon...seriously when Dawn walked into that nursery you just realised how creepy May's become. she almost as bad as Ben!

What I couldn't understand about the Rob/May/Dawn storyline was why Rob lied to May during the week about having to work late at the office. If the affair was her idea why didn't he just tell her that he was seeing Dawn?:confused: :hmm:

Exactly parkerman - if it was May's idea in the first place to re-ignite the affair, then why lie about his whereabouts?! Seems a bit strange.

Yeah very odd.
I didn't watch much this week, so i'm catching up with the ominibous.
I think Jay and Bert's relationship, is going to be the making of Bert's character. Jay is so fab. I like him. You have to have a tearaway teen in EE. Darren is a different kind of tearaway, a bit more intelligent.
Liking Squiggle and Darren. Be good if something developed there.

Surely it couldn't be because the Eastenders scriptwriters got it wrong...they are usually so good on continuity...ahem :hmm:

I was thinking that that might have been for Dawn's benefit; having her think that May nearly found out about them, but obviously she wasn't too pleased about that. I don't feel sorry for May at all at the moment - restarting an affair to keep a baby would obviously involve physical contact; Dawn would be straight off down the abortion clinic if Rob tried "It might hurt the baby," or something.
Yes but Dawn wasn't in the room when Rob told May he was working late, so if it was part of the big plan, why did he lie to her - why wasn't he upfront about it. I could understand it if Dawn was around then, in the vicinity or whatever, but it was just the two of them, in their flat, on their own. Thats why it didn't make sense to me.

To be honest Ems, none of it makes sense!

It was for us Em.. so that we would think she didn't know but it could have been code for them too.. She might not what to hear "oh I am going to sleep with Dawn tonight" so they used " I am going to be working late" do lessen the affect (possible? )
To be honest Ems, none of it makes sense!
lol you can say that again, its a strange absurd storyline and it will be interesting to se what the outcome is
To be honest Ems, none of it makes sense!
You can say that again Richie - I like nice easy watching that time of the evening, whilst putting my feet up with a cuppa, kids in bed, peace at last. I don't want to be having to think too hard about things. Those kinds of thinking are left to my CSI watching lol

I thought that would have been part of Rob's plan to make Dawn think that May was close to finding out about them, because if she was told straight, she was hardly going to go off on one, and because it was her idea and she hadn't been told, maybe she thought it meant that Rob actually was interested in Dawn.
Sorry Kim - you've totally confused me now......
Oh right, sorry, I'll try again.
I think deep down Dawn really likes May thinking there's something going on, even though she told Rob she didn't, and I think he knows she likes it that way, so maybe he didn't tell May because he knew she would kick off, then it would make Dawn think that May was close to knowing, which it did. With May, because it was her idea, maybe not being told made her think that there really was something going on between Rob and Dawn.
I thought tonight's episode was good, but I thought it looked like Lydia and Bradley were on Stacey's side of the fence. And I thought that was a text that Rob got, and that it was going to ask, "Where are you?" :rotfl:

When the affair comes out, bradley and tanya will get the comfort and support they need to get through it all from everybody in albert square.
I can imagine peggy saying to max and stacey to go away in the pub infront of everyone because of the damage and hurt they have caused as she did the same when carol/david/bianca affair was revealed and did not want bianca in her pub as it was painful for everyone to deal with.
How will all the locals react to the way max and stacey have treated tanya and bradley. what are your reactions to this.

I couldn't believe that the Rob/May/Dawn storyline could get any worse, but somehow the scriptwriters managed it last night. They deserve an award for the worst story in soap history. The challenge is, can they make it sink to even lower depths?:wall:

I liked the romantic night in Rob spent with May.Its obvious its May he truly loves not Dawn and that May loves him too. I know I'm in the mnority but Ican't wait to see how the storyline works out.

It was both. Carol/David/Bianca was 1995. Dan/Carol/Bianca was 1999. Both great storylines, unlike the baby storyline running right now....

God! I wish i'd seen yesterday's episode. There were so many references tonight. And i'm really unhappy about it. Got to watch it on Sunday!
Felt sorry for Bradley, but I also agreed with Stacey, it is a little too late. A mistake made in haste is fair enough, but it's lasted 2 months. I still want them back together though it's so sad. I feel for Stacey too.
God Max is so sick! All he did tonight was smirked. Did you see the way he was with Bradley? he's got no decorum whatsoever.

I thought Carol was pregnant with Dan's baby when the affair came out, so Carol was threatening to abort it. I don't know if she had the abortion, or not, because I saw the episode on one of those weekend specials.
I'm glad Bradley dumped Lydia; for some reason she reminds me of Jade Goody, but with more brain cells and less of a mouth. I can't decide what was worse - Max and Stacey tonight, or on christmas day. I felt sorry for Bradley; thought Max was going to be revealed as Stacey was slipping back behind the curtain.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate the whole Max/Stacey stuff? Yes? No? Well if not, I do :angry:. Poor Bradley! Max is supposed to be his father.. some father he is. Stacey, an ex girlfriend, some ex girlfriend :angry: I just want to reach through the screen and give Max and Stacey a big slap, and Bradley a hug! The sooner it's all out in the open, the better.. Stacey is going to end up ruined if it carrys on. Can anyone honestly say they love Stacey as much as they did before? Cause I don't, I'm going straight off her.
Must say, the whole thing reminds me of my mate, but we won't go there :p

Max is becoming a lot like Den. Den took hrissie round to Ian's and gave ian the necklace togive to Kate. Stacey tips Max off about the reciet and he buys a necklace to allay any suspicion on Tanyas part but in Den's case he started it and in this case Stacey started it. If Stacey really flt for Bradley she wouldn't have tried it on with his dad to begin with. Max is just a weakling. He didn't need top give in to Stacey's advances. I thought he was going to end it whenhe was sitting beside her inthe car. Some people are strong enough to say no and I don't mean only women.

That's what I've heard happens. It didn't really interest me that much, so I can't remember what it said they do.
Oh my god, Ben is such a brat.
Phil was so righ t to lose his temper with him, he really likes Stella. I thought that the scenes with Carly and Pat were good as well, so glad phil let them off for a bit. But Denise cant leave Walford ! i like her.
Ben does need a slap..ok so he didn't put the glue there on purpose this time but he has done so much other stuff.. I want Stella to get all creepy with him again and go physco

He was in last week and talked to Libby and Denise, and off again.
I have to stick up for Ben, the poor boy he can't help himself, it is a difficult time for him. He is just a child. Phil should stick with him. He doesn't have to loose Stella but he has to meet her outside the house for now.
But for the story to develop I'm with you Siobhan.

Stacey/Max is a bit like Den/Zoe but I agree that Max should end it with Stacey and concentrate on Tanya. Yes unlike Den/Zoe Stacey started it and he said no a lot at the start but he's so weak willed. If he had been tenacious and refused point blank to betray Tayas it would have been a lot better but i suppose hey have to keep the storylines going.

Who was that strange man who was sitting next to Stacey in the pub last night? I'm sure he used to be in Eastenders some time ago but then disappeared without trace.
And why did Ian put already made pancakes back in the pan to toss?????
Finally, Stacey and Max. As JoJo said above, :sick: But is it likely that with Tanya sitting waiting for him in the pub he would nip in to the ladies with Stacey for a quick one??? I thought Max was supposed to be intelligent.

Well it is clear that he doesn't think with his brain but follows something else entirely, hahaha!
Is there anyone who does like the storyline with Max and Stacey?!
Eastenders should end it now.:sick:
Obviously Max and stacey like the risk.. howelse can you explain how stupid they both were to go to the toilet when Tanya was clearing waiting for Max in the bar???
and how selfish is Stacey??? it was Tanya's birthday and yet she expect max to meet her.. I am not like this Stacey at all :angry:

Why couldn't they just let Tanya find out tonight. NO instead they decide to drag it out even longer :thumbsdow its not even interesting
Yeah. I was almost laughing when Sean kept on about Stacey giving him £10 to by Tanya a drink, and then Max gave him it. He was so close to touching Max's hand and I really thought he was going to find out, because he can't seriously buy that Stacey was dating that builder and the "He uses it to tie my hands." No-one has even seen the bloke for weeks; distance relationship, Stacey Slater; don't think so. I also thought he had an inkling the way he looked at Max in the bar, and Max had a tie on, even though it wasn't the same one. I don't believe Max, he seriously doesn't love Tanya, so as long as she stays there because Max wants the kids, why does he care if she sees Sean? Or maybe he might think that it would make Stacey dump him as there would no longer be any excitement. Shirley seems like my kind of barmaid lol!

Ah, i'm liking Bert and Jay, there nice.
On location tonight in EE, surprising! Yeah there's definetely something odd about Stella.

Glad Stacey is sticking up for herself.

With Stella, the glass is always half full, or should that be empty....
Gerbil dies, funeral and a new pet all in one episode, they have been busy. I couldn't believe Lauren came out in black, when she found out Ralph was dead she didn't care. The episode was full of people contradicting themselves. There was Tanya who said Rolf was dead when Abi said he was called Ralph, and Stella who I think went off to scare Ben in to liking her, then turns all creepy. That is certainly not a good way to introduce a plot. That part where Max nearly ran Stacey over was so Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Hmm the Rolf/Ralph thing was probably just an accent thing to be honest. I mean, obviously in the script it's gunna be written the same :rolleyes:
However, I think that actress who plays Abi is adorable :wub: She is so cute, bless her, loved Ralph/Rolph's funeral :) and habing new Marge!
Stella, I'm rally liking her creepy/weird side, much better than the average normal boring character.

I wouldn't count on it lol. That was so boring and they've gone downhill so much lately that they probably had to change writers at least 10 times during the scripting of that episode. :rotfl:

Abi Branning's pet gerbil. She's forgotten all about him herself now as Max got her a new one in the same episode.

It says a lot about the state of EastEnders if the main thrust of an episode is about a gerbil.
Ralph was an Easties legend
Along with Wellard, Chips, Terrence, Willy, and Roly. Betty was a legend until she was abducted by a mini dalek.

Well said. But I suppose even the death of a gerbil is more interesting than some of the recent explosive storylines. They handled the gerbil death much better than Pauline Fowlers, but then again thats not saying much.

Err, no it isn't. :confused:
Still I suppose baths falling from the cailing or Sean signing Sandy on Corrie are more your thing.:lweek:
Well, falling baths from ceilings anyway isn't my type of thing either, but I don't see what that has to do with BBC1's most popular programme. :confused:

Max is playing stacey like a fool after last nights episode and using her to when it suits him and i think stacey can see it now, i could see stacey telling bradley to blame max for this affair when it all comes out as he has used her and took advantage of her and played on her feelings and max is to blame as he played both bradley and stacey off against each other. I could see stacey twisting the knife in to max as soon as the affair comes out as she does not want to lose bradley as he may be the only guy who really loves her and don't want to lose him for good and max saying to stacey that she was not good enough for his son and stacey out to prove him wrong by taking his son away from him for good as who will bradley believe when the truth comes out, what with max's cheating ways or stacey being taken advantage of when her feelings are low and she is hurt, what do you think.
I could see stacey turning around her revenge from bradley and putting all her hatred to max now for revenge as she may well do now after she finds out later on that max lied to her about bradley feelings on christmas day and stacey out to win bradley back eventually from help with her mum jean if she moves into the square later on as she likes bradley herself and stacey setting max up when the affair is revealed to lose his whole family as stacey always called bradley to max's that bradley is his precious son when the abortion storyline was on and she was not good enough for his son and stacey now knows all of this. And i would like stacey to twist everything so she could win and for bradley to take her side when the affair is revealed as i think she would do this to max now , what do you think.
so i would like to see a revenge played against max now and not bradley as she knows bradley still loves her now after she found out from bradley himself on valentines day, what do you think of the views i have written above.

I think I've at last found one redeeming feature about Eastenders - Robert Kazinsky (Sean). The problem is that he shows the others up even more especially Stuart Laing (Rob). What a contrast in acting ability!

I was quite sorry for Rob yesterday. Its obvious that it is May he truly loves not Dawn and it must have been very hard for him to take off that ring and pretend to end his marriage even though May was desperate for him to do anything to stop Dawnhaving the abortion. Of course the whole thibgwas ultimately his ault ina way - I know he saw Dawn when he and May were on a break but then he should have been honest with Dawn about getting back together with his wife and broken it off and told May the truth about his new girlfriend. I can't wait till tonight.

For some reason I get the feeling that Dawn already had an abortion ??? But thats just a feeling I got when she had this conversation with Mickey..Rob seems to be doing every thing May wants and is hating it. No good is going to come out of all this...........:nono:
Hmmmmm where was Dot in all this when those CHEAP fags were being sold LOL:searchme:
Who else thinks Darren made a mistake bringing in LI ?? I honestly DO NOT LIKE her !!! :wall:
It was nice seeing Peggy back ( hush Alan ) but again I have this gut feeling she is going to be OFF alot ..I thought for sure Ben would have been around when his Gramma returned from her cruise, and Phil ..:rolleyes:
yeah it all this is it is actually Rob I feel most sorry for.. I didn't think I would feel that way consider he got dawn pregnant and cheated on his wife but he clearly loves May and she is asking him to do things just so she can have the baby.. Dawn thinks everything is going her way but she is making demands on Rob too.. I am beginning to like this storyline
Li, she is not good at all.. but Shirley is a fantastic addition to EE.. this proves that good acting beat eye candy any day... I am sure that everyone would agree that Shirley outshines any of the "fit" cast members!!!

I am completely fedup with the Rob/May/Dawn story too - it is so unbelievable, I know it's a soap but come on. Please don't let this drag out for another 4 or more months until this "baby" is born. I can't believe there is a girl as "air-headed" as Dawn is supposed to be alive today. Such a rubbish character. Please let Max get found out soon, so we can finish this ridiculous story too - It's like the writers start off ok, then run out of steam 1/2 through and clutch at straws in the end to come up with a story we are interested in.

I caught tonight while reading the newspaper supplements, and that was the far more interesting option. The episode was absolute rubbish, and an utter farce. Nothing stands out, even Pat was smothered by the terrible Trivial Pursuit game with Deano. The Dungeness scenes were terrible, from the banana, to Kevin riding the ladies bicycle, to the ridiculous bus crash scenes. Then we have Carly doing drunk (badly) and more shouting and overacting, and finally we had the 'hilarious' scenes of Mo with a dart up her backside..... Even the actors looked embarrassed with that scene.
All in all, badly scripted, badly written and badly acted. Absolute garbage. :thumbsdow

I absolutely agree, Richie. I keep watching Eastenders in the naiive hope that it might improve, but last night's episode hit the depths and was even bad by Eastenders' standards, which is saying something.

I agree. Phil Daniels is a brilliant actor and Burn Gorman (Jed) was outstanding. For me, it was a nice change from the Dawn/Rob/May storyline and the Stacey/Max rubbish.
Kevin and Shirley I liked together when Kevin was saying that Jed died in his arms, it brought back a lot of memories of Jimbo for him. Why Kevin didn't call an ambulance I don't know, he can't have already been dead if he died in Kevin's arms. I felt so sorry for Kevin when he was blaming himself, saying he should have got on that bus a month ago.
Mo and Charlie had me in stitches - he was trying to look at Chelsea's behind, then he left Mo's to Phil. At last they've had some use made of them since Mo and Bert got caught sunbathing at the allotments.

I liked it too. I thought it was amusing with Phil/Mo and moving with Kevin/Jed.. Shirley and kevin are great together, wonder what Denise will say (but again all these 3 are fantastic actors so that is why this is going well)
She's already said she's moving out, so it's going to be unrealistic as if I was her I'd make him suffer then move.
He proposes and Denise accepts, so it's pretty much a copy of Sam and Andy

I was getting fed up with these storylines aswell (still am with max and stacey) but i am really starting to feel sorry for Dawn. What May is doing to her is waaay beyond normal, it is so evil, her statement last night avout "get her away from her family". What I think she is trying to do is isolate Dawn fron everyone so she doesnt feel like she has any back up left at all and wont have any fight in her left to stand up for herself and challenge May when she tries to take her child from her. The worst thing is that she is manipulating it all behind Dawns back. I wish Rob would strap on a pair, an say what he's really thinking

Max is a b*****d! That's all I'm saying on the matter- feel so sorry for Bradders!
And Stella is flippin scary- she even frightened me and I'm 21 years old

Max is evil!!! Stacey did start this as revenge but she fell for him and now that she wanted to spend time with Bradley, Max pulls the "I want you" stunt!! what is he playing at? does he not want his son to be happy.. It is very very clear that he doesn't want Stacey

Quite frankly I find Eastenders is beginning to get so painful to watch it actually hurts. I turned it off last night's episode about half way through. Fortunately I had been doing some painting during the day so I went and watched that dry instead. It was much more exciting.

I really enjoyed EE last night. Pat/Honey/billy was fantastic.. emma and perry are such excellent actors and the whole storyline was sweet and dealt with really well. It was nice to see that they both had the same fear. Charlie comment to Billy was perfect. I know too many people who say they will wait until they have money to have a kid and they don't get around to it. If you want a child, you will always find the money and if you love them enough, it is a great start
Dawn hair was a boring bit, ditto Stacey/max stuff... Stacey is been played and cannot see it but she holds all the cards.. she has nothing to lose, she is not the one cheating, she is not with any other man. Max can lose it all if the affair gets out and the sooner Stacey realises this, then she can get the upper hand back
Phil/Ian.. we get it, you dont' like each other and Ian always loses!! will he ever learn. Lucy annoys me, ditto Jay!. May on the other hand, she is play tanya like a violin!! she is giving all the "I'm a hurt victim" but did you catch the devious smile on her face!! she has this all wrapped up! I am beginning to like her character and she plays it well.

lol hehe yeah! It's certainly mad in EE at the min!
May would have known the surrogacy contract wasn't legally binding. I'm assuming her being a doctor we are mean't to think she could do something in order to get the baby off Dawn. But really it seems unlikely.
God where does Stacey get off?! lol. It was certainly passionate, but with Abi in the next room. It's pretty sick if that gets her off!
Oh my god Stella! What is wrong with that woman?! she's not very good at keeping up a pretence either. With Tanya you could see her brain ticking over. Something weird must have gone on, at some point in her life, to have that many screws loose.

Haha, Stella was great as usual :p "Little freak." Made me laugh anyway :p. I don't like Ben, but felt sorry for him with the bullies, and then wetting himself. Poor guy.
Oh dear, what's May going to do now, I agree PB, that "What May wants, May gets," sounded rather nutty :lol: But good stuff all the same.
I think there will be a "baby issue" somewhere in Stella's past. Maybe she can't have children or one died or something like that. She actually looked quite caring when she was telling Dawn to look after her baby after she'd looked through the surrogacy contract. Could also explain partly why she resents Ben so much too.

Stella was brilliant again last night "just goes to show, you should never trust what people say". And Ben thinking he was protected kicking the bully until the all jumped him.. he was just so hurt by this.. I love the whole Stella storyline.

The Stacey/Max thing - He's old enough to be her father - Unlike the Den/Zoe Stacey started it for her own childish vengeance on Bradley and Max found once he started he couldn't stop. Either one or another of the pair has to end it and just be good friends - its ridiculous otherwise and completely unfair on Tanya. I would be sorry to see Max and Tanya split, they suit each other perfectly.
If Dawn greed to surrogacy then she should go through with it and not use th baby to keep Rob. If I agreed to surrogate for someone I would just go through with it and if it were me and I had been hetrosexual then I would have Rob stay with his wife and just be pleasant. I can't help feeling sorry for May slightly but I agree thatshe is ver obsessed with the baby - that cansometimes happen, women neglecting husbands for children. Robtoo I am sorry for - he's a decent chap. I know the surrogacy contrac was worthless but I would probably still go through with it because seing as they are this desperate I ca't help pitying them.
I reckon Dawn should be single or else find a boyfriend her own age - sort of. Maybe she and Garry??? Unless they are better as friends. even Garry told her to be careful. Stella...I can't help feeling fascinated by her though i certinly hate what she does to Ben. i ca't wait till tonight.
I really enjoyed last night episode.. it was the usual run of the mill stuff.
Right 1st up Ben.. get yourself a shovel mate, you are in deep Poo now blaming the bruises on Stella.. she is not going to "pretend" she is mates with you now!!! And Ian, please please, if you are going to say anything, let it be cause you are concerned about your brother and not to get revenge on Phil but we know you and it will be about revenge
2nd: Dawn/may/rob.. I don't feel one bit sorry for any of them.. Dawn is an idiot, she could have gotten rid of the baby weeks ago and when she found out Rob was still with May, she should have walked away
Rob: oh yes, the way to sort out your martial problem is to sleep with another woman NOT!!! again don't feel sorrry for him, he brought this on himself and could have said no to may
May: not a nut job just 100% obsessed about having a baby. I don't know what that is like so I can't sympathise with her at all and making your husband sleep with woman who is having a baby is only going to lead to trouble
and now back to Ian.. why does not going to a kids party make you a bad parent.. why make the comment to Phil about "enjoying his day out".. Personally when my kids friends are having a party, I drop them off but I dont' hang about cause come to their bday and I am left with 20 odd kids..
well that is my rant over!!

Why did Stella lock Ben in the arches saying he needed time to think? I thought she asked him to hug her and acknowledge that he needed her.

For the first time in ages i've actually enjoyed a whole week of EastEnders. The Stella story is absolutely brilliant and possibly the best since the whole Denise/Owen thing last year. Even the Dawn/May/Rob stuff has started to improve a bit. They're making use of the characters now and its starting to work.
One thing letting it all down though - this Stacey/Max rubbish!! :thumbsdow
Next on the to do list - Give Pat a storyline :thumbsup:
Okay, what is stella up to, she is so crazy!!!!!!!

Hear hear!
I haven't even watched the whole of last weeks' episodes yet, but words cannot express how much May is annoying me. May thinks Dawn's up herself and I don't even like Dawn, but I like her for thinking that. I wanted to trash my TV when May said, "It's half yours, so that means it's all mine." So deluded, and learn some Maths :lol: 1.5 = 1, errr, no, May. :wall:

02-04-2007, 08:20
I can't help feeling sympathy for both May and Rob. I know May's deluded and over obsessed with the baby and I agree she should be paying Rob a bit more attention but seeing as they've been married for ten years I think that Rob should stay with May all the same. I don't think he should throw his marriage away in a hurry. I too was shocked by Maty's uncaring attitude toward Dawn and agree that what they did was unfair on Dawn but i can't help feeling for May all the same. Anyway as we saw on Friday Dawn no longer trusts him anyhow. I'm sorry for Rob too though he started this mess by not telling May he had anew girlfriend and not telling Dawn he was planning to get back with his wife. I'm not at all impressedwith Dawn, I'm sorry that she triedto drown herselfbut she spent the money Rob gave her on shopping and if you agree o surrogate for someone (I know the contract was worthless but even so), you don't do it purely in order to tie the manyou want to you. Anyhow ith me had I een hetrosexual, Rob and May's plan wou;ldn't have worked anyhow because I would have agreed to surrogate, got on with it and refused point blank to go with another woman's husband. Like peggy said ""Dawn's no Snow White".
Of course she should have just got on with it. As Stella told her, selling a baby is illegal and I think it's as bad as using it to get your own way with someone else's husband of all people; someone who wasn't married would be bad enough if it was directed at them. Dawn did annoy me as well when she said, "Well done you," to the baby.
I was watching the episodes from the WCCT thing yesterday, Dawn was a lot better in that. I feel a bit sorry for Rob having to put up with them, and he was the one that was going to let it lie when Dawn was away; but like you said, he shouldn't have started the situation.
Lizzie Brookes
02-04-2007, 09:02
I thought she agreed to surrogate as in give them the baby? I know they paid her but don't people get paid for surrogacy and it isn't quite the same as selling it is it? Why is it illegal? Well - I suppose Rob and May were desperate so i can sympathise. I am annoyed with Dawn for going after a maried man anway. I know he was seperated at the time but now that he's chosen to be with his wife she should have dropped it and either remained single or found a nice single chap like Garry and agreed to surrogate only if she genuinely meant it and was sorry for them. If it had been a genuine surrogacy offer Rob and May wouldn't have tricked her or needed to and if Dawn had been decent she would haveflatly refused to go with a married man.
There is a big difference between May/Rob/Dawn and Tanya/Max/Stacey triangles. In this case May told Rob to have the fling and Robdid it to make her happy. Though it was I admit unfair on Dawn i didn't really have a problem with this affair. Naturally Dawn's family will side with Dawn but Keith jumped to conclusions too quickly andwas too quick to heap all the blame on Rob and may. Dawn is just as much to blame. If she wanted an abortion shecould have had it much earlier before may made her offer. Instead she goes and wastes Rob's money. If she agreed to surrogate and shedid of her own free will, nobody forced her ito it, not even Rob and may she should have gone through with it and not done it for an ulterior motive.
Its entirely different in the Stacey/Max case. he's old enough to be her father and in fact Rob's old enough to be Dawn's father. She was stupid to come onto a married man just for childish revenge on her boyfriend. Anyhow going onto married people orr people who are with other people is just not done even if they resist just as Tanya resisted Sean. hen Max is weak and can't stop once he's started. Like he said he doesn't love Stacey, she is "just a drug". May's abolutely right in saying that there is more to love than sleeping with someone and a bit of flirtation. I can't believe she does not love Rob seeing as they were all loved up a short while ago and he even beggedher not to leave him togo to work. He can't have that kind of deep relationship with Dawn. She's too young. I think he's fond of her but I'm not convinced Rob loves Dawn. He just felt guilty and had sympathy when she tried to top hersself and was rightly angry at May's lack of concern.
I cant believe that Max made up some thing about Tanya being responsable for someone hacking onto the there card after shopping on the internet. Thats so awful to make her believe that when hes actually booking holidays for Stacey. I wonder how long it will go on before everyone gets hurt.
Even though Dawn idnt terminate its still pretty awful that the only reason Rob wanted her was because of Mays plans for there baby.
I have to say though that only catching bits of last weeks, Stella is brillinat. I cant quite understand what shes up to but its brilliant all the same. Plus Ian and his fued with the Mitchells is so funny, although its not Billys fault that he has the same surname.
Lizzie Brookes
02-04-2007, 09:31
I don't like Ian at all. He's so pathetic. Stella's really good at the moment. Max is a bit like Den isn't he? Den dragged Chrissie round to Ian's and got Ian to give Kate her present from Den. Max said agesago that they could hurt a lot of people if they did not end it and he's dead right. The answer is don't start in the first place because once you start it is very difficult to stop. If he kept saying no it would have been all right. If stacey hadn't come onto himthen it would also have been all right.
I think what I like most about Stella in all this is that SHE actually believes what she is doing.. it is not like she is really nice to ben around everyone and then just evil to him when they are alone.. she is been "nice" in a bad way when it is just the two of them.. saying that she forgives him and still wants to be friends but then keeps in locked in the arches... the woman in a fruit loop!!!
Lizzie Brookes
02-04-2007, 10:45
What's a fruit loop?
Yeah I like that about Stella too. It would be boring if she is nice to him around others and purely evil to him when they are alone. She sounds quite altruistic when she is talking but while most people when they sound altruistic are genuinely so, she just uses it as a formof emotional manipulation. I still don't get why she locked him the arches though saying he needed time to think - think about what?
Fruit loop, nut job, headcase.. whatever term you want to use.
Locking him in the arches was just her further manipulation of him.. let him know she has the power and give him time to think that she is in control and there is nothing he can do or say!!
The deal was that Dawn would give them the baby and get £1,000 a month whilst pregnant, which you might do if someone was doing a surrogate for you, but May and Rob also offered £10,000 upon handover which would mean that they are buying the baby. May is just saying that Dawn is doing a surrogate for them to make the locals think better of her, as you wouldn't want to be seen buying your husband's baby and especially not with the reputation that she has.
I'll catch up with the later part of the week a bit later. I liked the way she was trying to seem nice by beeping the car horn, but being nasty by smirking and not really doing anything to stick up for Ben.
Lizzie Brookes
02-04-2007, 20:56
I can understand why May is irritating Rob at the moment but I wish he had not walked out on her for Dawn. That's wrong whichever way you look at it. I know May is too preoccupied with her infertility right now but i can't forget the time she and Rob were all loved up and Rob even begged her not to go to work and pulled her back into bed with him. He doesn't have that same intense relationship with Dawn and anyway Dawn is young, perfectly capable of getting a new boyfriend and has her family. May only has Rob. I know Dawn ended it with Rob but as a wife May's natural reactionwould be to want to know what her husband's up to. Oh well. It just seems like a waste after being married for 10 years for a man to throw away his marriage for a girl young enough to be his daughter. Even Max wouldn't be so daft.
I think that was badly acted, it was as if Rob was leaving May to get some attention, and wouldn't actually stay. It was as if he didn't want May because she was pestering him all the time, especially after she demanded he go back into the flat. It was as if he was worried Dawn might leave him, with the way he threw the laptop on the floor and the tone in which he was speaking; and so was doing it to prove a point to her.

I actually enjoyed the episode. Only thing that annoyed me was, the way Dawn didn't really put up much of a fight against Rob. He called her name, said go away, then they were kissing. Slightly weird if you ask me lol. Loved both Rob and May though :ninja:. And of course loved Stella, being her usual manipulative self. And thank god - a Max/Stacey free episode :cheer:.
I thought he was directing that 'go away,' at May? Even if he wasn't, maybe she thought that.

02-04-2007, 22:58
I meant, she said go away. And I don't mean literally "Go away", just something to that effect. She slightly resisted at first, when he came out the house. Like she didn't want to know.

Dwan's totally confusing me.
On Friday she refused to believe a word Rob said and told him to stay out of her life. Yet yesterday she was angry with Mickey for warning hiom to keep away and then rang him to ask if they could talk. If i were Rob and my girlfriend sent out such mixed signals I would be both confused and annoyed.

here here.. don't think I could have taken Stacey/max in this episode.. although Tanya does my head in a lot.. What is with Preeti.. she seems to get into everyone's business.. like with Honey and then yesterday saying to Stella about the magazine she was reading...
Mind you, Stella is fantastic, getting ben to say all that.

Dawn isn't that young, I don't think. On the WWCT episodes aired in August, that's how old Ian initally told Victor's wive Maeve she was, because he didn't know, as she was posing as his wife. They looked shocked and he said 25, which I think is more like it.
I thought it was quite a good episode. Altohough Tanya is quite irritating. Mo and Darren are so funny together. Although i think if i were May id be a bit more upset, either that or shes deluded that her husband hasnt actually left. Stella is plain evil.

I was so sorry for May today. She was desperately trying to hold things together and i think she really did love Rob despite her over preoccupation with the baby and it being her idea that he restart his affair with Dawn. Looks like no-one in the square is that impressed that Rob and Dawn are flaunting their new relationship without caring one bit how May would feel about it. The tella stuff was really good. I liked the bit with Stella and Phil at the end but Stella did not look too happy about being Ben's mum did she? Its so hard to believe shes reallya psycho. She just seemed o sweet when she and Phil were in bed together.
littlemo
03-04-2007, 20:50
Stella is twisted. I don't really know what she's doing though. There'll never be any circumstances where Phil would turn his back on his son, he's only a kid. Unless she's gonna try and convince him, that he would be better off in boarding school or something.
I feel sorry for May, but she has behaved a bit crazy lately. Jane is a real hypocrite! How long ago was it she was sleeping with Grant? lol.
A year and a couple of days ago, lol.
It wouldn't surprise me - she's all out to get Phil to propose, then, she's clearly not happy at the end of the episode. I would have liked to see what she would have done to get herself out of the fictional job if Phil didn't propose.
Yeah, I remember that, Jodi, but maybe she looks older because of the stress. The baby stuff obviously hit her hardest, with her always being the one that wanted to move in above the surgery so they could sell their house to fund more IVF. She was also the one whose idea it was to buy Dawn's baby after the highest dose of fertility drugs that could be offered to her failed.

I think hair tied back suits May better than hair down. Well she ws a bit desperate so I can understand and not really liking Dawn makes e more partial toward May.

Also remembered Carly smashing the house up when Kevin told you "I'm not your daddy". Personally I would be delighted if he told me that. "Thank god".
May and Stella - the two best things about Eastenders at the moment.
Only two things keeping the show going for me.
That has to be the worst cliffhanger ever, surely Rob telling Dawn about May's revenge would have been better than Dot walking out of the laundrette? Dot is really starting to grate on me at the moment, yet another character being ruined by the big wigs at the BBC.

Yeah, and I'm glad he was overheard like that, and that even Jane walked out. Ok, she sparked him thinking they would get squatters if no-one was there wanting to rent the place out to Billy and Honey, but he shouldn't be taking every decision, all the while expecting Jane to do most of the work running his businesses.
Phil doesn't want Billy when he's got plenty of family, and even then Billy's never done anything to Ian. It's a bit of a rubbish way to get back at Phil. Jane should rope in Pat - she convinced him to let a place out to Bert when he didn't want to, and Ian wouldn't like it if it was Bobby in Janet's position.

I actually tuned into Eastenders for the first time in ages today and nothing seems to be really gripping me at the moment apart from the Stella storyline which i think is such a good storyline, this storyline is really building up well, i just hope it doesn't get rushed.
I'm not too keen on the Rob/Dawn/May stuff...though i think May is quite a good character, loved the scene with her trashing the house with a golf club! The Dot stuff isn't really entertaining me, and Darren selling stuff and Lucy thinking that Pauline's house was haunted was all just filler i thought..

Whats been happening with Stella?
:)
Stella has been keeping Ben off playscheme, using his lack of confidence and convincing him that he's done things such as wetting the bed to convince him that he needs her to stick around, or his dad would end up thinking he's a whimp. She pretended she'd been offered another job and convinced Ben that she might have to leave as she doesn't want to stay where she isn't wanted, so he kept on and on at Phil until he proposed to Stella, and she accepted. Phil said he wants her to be Ben's mum and she looked less than impressed, and has since glued up an accounts book of Phil's and had him think she did it so that he would not be as close to Ben. In the end, Ben confessed to it and Phil thought it was brave of him to do that.

I really haven't enjoyed the last two episodes of EE. The Garry stuff looks set to be really good, but the Dot and the baby storyline is just ridiculous, and Jim going to a pole dancing club...just cringeworthy in my opinion..
I am not sure.. if it had been me to find a baby in a church and I knew there was no vicar as she was on holiday or police station, I would possibly take the baby home but would notify my own police station immediately.. maybe Dot was thinking she is doing the right thing, hoping the mother will come back

Ghosts indeed LOL loved it how Mo shuddered at the thought of a dead baby ghost crying LOL
My hubby wanted to know who HAZEL was and I told him that was Garry's mom he was like :eek: :eek: ( hubby had missed the first two epi's with Hazel) I have a feeling this Hazel is going to SHAKE up Walford...LOL
Now that Jim told the immigration to put their skates on and get over to his house,, lets see how fast they get there,, and how Dot reacts ... :hmm:
regardless of whether you like or dislike the storyline, dot and jim was fantastic in it last night.. they work so well with each other and it was touching. I liked the moment with gary and his mum (again both good actors)

I am looking forward to when Garry brings his mom home and introduces her to Minty and Naomi LOL
i knew he would came back for his mum. I love Garry.
Abi Branning was brilliant especially when she said to mo you hear it to about the baby.

I thought Abi was the best thing out of last night's episode. I thought she would spill all when Mo questioned her, she was brilliant! I thought the Dot and Jim baby storyline is rubbish.. For once I actually enjoyed watching them but then they brought in all this nonsence (sp?). All just got a bit repetitive with Dot's lines. Just a bit of me thought Jim would give in and actually think about it. I can just see Dot already going 'Oh Jim, what have you done?'
I think they way they introduced Garry's mum was pointless. You could see Garry just couldn't leave his mum on the road, glad he took her with him :)

I thought the ending to the storyline with the baby was rubbish, just how I thought the whole storyline was this week with them. I loved everything which included Garry in it tonight. Finally making some use of some existing characters. Over-reacting with Mo but entertaining, quite. Bless Garry, he really dosen't want Minty and his Mum to get along to much does he!

regardless of whether you like or dislike the storyline, dot and jim was fantastic in it last night.. they work so well with each other and it was touching.
Well I agree with that of course. Nothing wrong with their acting. It's just the storyline which I absolutely hate.

does anybody else not like the fact that they're using a dead baby as a comedy storyline? ok, it was funny when Abi made Mo think it was a ghost, but then to drag in the baby that Gary and Lynn lost doesn't seem particularly tasteful to me.
I don't like that, either. It's good to mention her, I think, but it would have been far more sympathetic to any viewers who have gone through a similar situation if they did it with Garry telling his mum about it, rather than using it to freak Mo out, and then having her running over to Garry's place in order to apologise. I couldn't believe Charlie found the fact that Mo believed that it was the ghost of Lynne and Garry's baby funny, either.
I liked the way Garry's mum was, especially when she could tell Naomi was gay and wasn't listening to Garry when he told her not to chat up Minty. It was good to have Jim mentioning Sonia, and I liked the way that Dot wasn't going to have the immigration getting to Anya straight away, because she could see the good in her even though she initially shouted at her and was an illegal.

The Mo and the ghost baby storyline is the absolute pits. It takes Eastenders to an ever lower low, which I wouldn't have believed possible.

I know it's soap, but a load of immigration officers turning up in the middle of the night for one person, a little OTT :thumbsdow

Bit boring this week I thought! although I missed yesterdays

Yeah, I can't figure out why, if they were so worried about an immigrant being free, that they sent 2 people, but still didn't bother to show for ages. Jim phoned them when it was still light.

I have enjoyed EE this week....:thumbsup:
I really thought the Dot and baby storyline would be pants, but I got a pleasant surprise...with some excellent acting as well.
The Stella storyline is also going strong as well at the mo, and I never thought Id feel sorry for the milkyway kid, but I really do! lol

And the 2007 award for overacting and hammiest performance of the year goes to Dave Hill as Bert Atkinson.:clap:
And what was all that red make up round his eyes all about? And why the sudden deterioration in his eyesight? Have the scriptwriters bothered to research glaucoma at all?

What a waste of the undoubted talent of the great June Brown to have her involved is a rubbishly thought out and written storyline like this. She is capable of so much more than this dross they have given her. Still being the consummate actress that she is she manages to struggle through.
Well done June Brown:clap:
Shame on the writers, producers and storyliners of this absolute NONSENSE:nono:

It wasn't sudden.. he was told he had glaucoma weeks and weeks ago and he did nothing about it

Having not seen the episode I can't comment on Bert, but...what I will say is that a good friend of mine had no real eyesight problems apart from her short sightedness. Suddenly within a very short while, she had excruciating pains shooting through her eye, was rushed to hospital where the pressure was checked. She was found to have glaucoma and the pressure level in one of the eyes was found to be at a very dangerous level, enough where she could have lost her sight in that eye. She had to undergo pressure relieving treatment, then the laser surgery afterwards which managed to save it, although the other eye was also treated to ensure the same didn't happen then. And this happened within a month or so. Her optician has seen that problems were afoot a month prior, had prescribed her eye drops, which she failed to use, not realising the importance of it and this was the result. I think I remember seeing Bert walking out of an opticians appointment when something similar was being explained to him.
Like I say, I didn't see EE (I don't bother anymore tbh after watching since the first episodes) but glaucoma can come on very quickly in that sense, if you ignore opticians/specialist advice.
