Current Episode Discussion VII

[parkerman]

Felt so sorry for Sean - all he wanted was his own family. Archie seems a bit over-obsessed to me. I don't think he was living with the girls when they were in Ibiza so why object so strongly to Roxy moving half hour down the road to Dagenham?

Yes, they all seem a bit obsessed in Eastenders with families living together. It's not at all unusual for young newly wed couples to move in to a new house together somewhere away from their original homes. In fact Dagenham is quite close; most couples would probably move a lot further away than that!

And another question...How many rooms does Pat's house have?

[JustJodi]

I have another question. Why did Jack demand the paternity tests and then try and keep Roxy from saying who the real father was?


Ok I missed some things and I can not get Iplayer in Holland,, do they know who put the DNA results in the cracker ???

[parkerman]

Yes, I think they know Suzy put the results in Sean's cracker - though how she knew which cracker Sean would get I am not quite clear....

[DaVeyWaVey]

I think they presumed it was Suzy, Jodi. Archie definetly knew it was Suzy that put the results in the cracker as he put her up to it, obviously.. but Suzy had a go at all the Mitchells before leaving and when Sean found out the truth, I seem to remember Roxy asking Archie "how did Suzy get hold of the test results?" so I think all the Mitchells think it was Suzy, though Ronnie did doubt Archie and questioned him saying "this is the kind of thing you would do".

[*-Rooney-*]

plus the dna results had a love heart and an S at the bottom,

[Abbie]

I have another question. Why did Jack demand the paternity tests and then try and keep Roxy from saying who the real father was?
I wondered that but I think its cos hes been getting close to Ronnie again and she was there and well the rest is as shown on telly

[Perdita]

I think Jack got thinking about family when Seline announced she was getting married again and he does not see much of Penny and Tanya gave him the boot, he might have thought back around 9 months and just wanted to know whether he might have family a bit nearer to home.

[kayuqtuq]

And another question...How many rooms does Pat's house have?

Didn't you know - Pat's house is a Tardis, just like the Vic!

Carol :cool:

[lizann]

How the hell did Sean get the correct cracker yet all the others were mixed up - i think Ben said it :confused:

I think while Suzy is being blamed it was actually Archie who set up the cracker and not her

I really feel for poor Sean

It was great seeing Nick with littlle Dotty - has he really changed :hmm:

[Abbie]

How the hell did Sean get the correct cracker yet all the others were mixed up - i think Ben said it :confused:


I thought that, well its the magic of soaps :lol:

[Bad Wolf]

i though archie gave her the test results with the instruction to make it hurt?

[Abbie]

i though archie gave her the test results with the instruction to make it hurt?

Yeah he did, but didnt he change his mind at one point?
He was asking for them back

[*-Rooney-*]

i think sean got the right cracker because, ben made all the others but suzy made that one and knowing peggy there was prob name places and all the trimmings and she made sure the cracker got put in front of seans seat , and since she only made one cracker its not hard to get it mixed up. just my thoughts though

[CrazyLea]

Yeah but how did she know he'd win it :lol:

[Bryan]

just watching the omnibus now

it's a good job Denise wasn't at the Beales watching Strictly Come Dancing, she'd have had a heart attack seeing Kevin in the credits. I'm suprised Ian didn't faint when he saw Kathy!

[CrazyLea]

:rotfl: :rotfl: That's made me laugh Bry :lol:.
Reminded me of Alistair McGowan.. anyone see that one where Beppe I think walked in the vic and said he'd seen Eastenders on BBC three :lol:

[Abbie]

Yeah but how did she know he'd win it :lol:
Magic :p

:rotfl: :rotfl: That's made me laugh Bry :lol:.
Reminded me of Alistair McGowan.. anyone see that one where Beppe I think walked in the vic and said he'd seen Eastenders on BBC three :lol:

oooo no, I want to now :p

[Dutchgirl]

Oh just loved the Christmas episodes.
Jim and Patrick pure gold. June and John they have some chemistry.
Oh noooo what is Nick up to?

Ronnie is so selfish sometimes. She clearly doesn't understand that Roxy needs Sean with Amy.

Ian Beale has been visited by the ghosts of Walford it seems. When will he snap back into reality.

[*-Rooney-*]

nick has commited the ultmate crime ever, naming that poor child dotty - how could anyone be so cruel thats bordering on child ause lol

[Emmie]

HAHA its probably dorathy and shortend to dotty haha.

[Abbie]

HAHA its probably dorathy and shortend to dotty haha.

yeah I thought it probably would be that

[Emmie]

I know someone called dorathy and they are called Dot x

[CrazyLea]

Aw I think Dotty is a cute name :D :p.

[Chris_2k11]

Excellent eps over xmas! loved it all! How hilarious was Suzy telling everyone what she thought of them! "Vinegar lips" haha! I actually wish she hadnt left now!

[Chris_2k11]

I know someone called dorathy and they are called Dot xMy nana's proper name is Doreen but she calls hersef Dot

[angiebroch]

I think Dotty's cute! Can't say the same about her pa tho, how long's it gonna be before he's up to h is old tricks again?!!!!
And I just loved Shirl's cocktail - the Flaming Trollop! What a good alias for Suzy to go by!

[Abbie]

:eek: did not expect that at the end

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah of all the people i thought sean would turn to jean was not high on my list

[LostVoodoo]

yeah of all the people i thought sean would turn to jean was not high on my list

i thought it was quite touching. and there's a bit of a logic to it; i think Sean does love his mum deep down, but he associates her with his dad and he can't bring himself to think about all that. but now he's a parent himself (sort of). plus, who would suspect Jean?

[DaVeyWaVey]

Yup, no one suspected Jean, even Roxy dismissed the idea. I think the character of Christian is being used rather well - he's like 'a voice of reason' type character, always there in times of crisis, trying to persaude people to do the right thing or look at the bigger picture.

Has Nick really changed? He's very convincing so far, but I didn't think Dot would have let her guard down so quickly. Bradley is doing the right thing, remaining suspicious of him, I think. Dotty is played by a good little actress.

I cringed when Ronnie just threw herself at Max!

[Joanne]

No Nick hasn't changed and Dotty is in on whatever he's up to as well.

Getting her to read Bible passages to Dot, even saying they have the same favourite hymn, they're in this together. Plus the mother as well most likely - they're probably saying she's dead to pull on Dot's heartstrings even more.

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah and when dotty said i know gods up there because ive finally met you - yeah right

she may as well have been given a script from nick before meeting dot lol, her real name is prob something like kayla or marissa lol

[Florijo]

I missed some episodes but when did Jack decide he 'loved' Ronnie again? Did he not love Tanya up until a few weeks ago? Not that I care about Jack but Jack's love life is absurd and I don't buy his 'love' for Ronnie or their relationship.

Surprised at Jean helping Sean although the fact she believes Sean is doing nothing wrong is slightly worring. Nice to see Sean turn to Jean though, even in these awful circumstances.

[CrazyLea]

I missed quite a bit of tonights ep.. what did Sean and Jean do????

[sindydoll]

I missed quite a bit of tonights ep.. what did Sean and Jean do???? they have taken the baby away from roxy but we didnt find that out until the end

[Chris_2k11]

Im not buying into this rubbish about Nick turning over a new leaf. I think him and little Dotty are in it together, partners in crime!

[parkerman]

Ronnie and Max :sick:

[sindydoll]

Ronnie and Max :sick:i know what a ugly pair :sick:

[Katy]

Dotty's her fathers daughter alright! Ronnie and Max was soo cringeworthy, i was like Noo pleasedon't at the TV screen. Jean is cleverer than people think .

[Abbie]

Awww I think Dotty is sweet

[Dutchgirl]

Im not buying into this rubbish about Nick turning over a new leaf. I think him and little Dotty are in it together, partners in crime!
I didn't look at it this way. But you must be right.

(I think they filmed his part separate from Dottie and Dot. Because of him smoking. What do you all reckon?)

[Dutchgirl]

can anyoine tell me what is up with Danielle and Stacey? I think I missed something. Stacey is so nasty to her.

[Chris_2k11]

Typical Stacey I think haha. Danielle's such a drip though, i think i'd lose it with her to be honest lol

[*-Rooney-*]

Typical Stacey I think haha. Danielle's such a drip though, i think i'd lose it with her to be honest lol


i dont think danielle cares how she gets treated by stacey though because at the minute until she reveals who she really is, the slaters are her only link to stay in the square.

but stacey was only nasty to her because she was worried about sean

[Ruffed_lemur]

I missed some episodes but when did Jack decide he 'loved' Ronnie again? Did he not love Tanya up until a few weeks ago? Not that I care about Jack but Jack's love life is absurd and I don't buy his 'love' for Ronnie or their relationship.

I know what you mean. Jack seems to fall in and out of 'love' a lot.

[*-Rooney-*]

i think he always loved or had very strong feelings for ronnie (apart for cheating on her with roxy), and tanya was all some sort of way to get back at max and take his kids away from him, although they did grow close but tanya never filled place in his heart where ronnie was, as much as jack wanted her too for so many reasons

just my opinions

[Dutchgirl]

Ah Nick Cotton is definitely back. I even think that "Dotty" is the brains. She seems smarter than her father. If he is her father.

Well Janine seems to be reformed. She has some little tricks. But she seems not to be so nasty anymore.

[parkerman]

Well Janine seems to be reformed. She has some little tricks. But she seems not to be so nasty anymore.

Don't you believe it, Dutchgirl! :D

[*-Rooney-*]

Well Janine seems to be reformed. She has some little tricks. But she seems not to be so nasty anymore.

Don't you believe it, Dutchgirl! :D

give her time she will be back and better than ever

[sindydoll]

Well Janine seems to be reformed. She has some little tricks. But she seems not to be so nasty anymore.

Don't you believe it, Dutchgirl! :D

give her time she will be back and better than everi hope your right because she is so boring at the mo :thumbsdow

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Omg I really had to hold the tears back! Awesome episode.. Glad they left the doors open for Sean..
Man, that had me on the EDGE! Loved it! :D

[*-Rooney-*]

would really love to c him back someday

[*-Rooney-*]

ive just started to watch tonights episode on iplayer but im confused how did roxy get amy back, last i saw sean left the flat and jean and stacey found the picture from christmas day with everyones faces scored out?

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

There were 2 episodes, you've probably watched the 2nd one.
There was one at 7.30pm and another at 8.30pm! x

[*-Rooney-*]

ok thanks lol typical

[*-Rooney-*]

When is it gonna come out about danielle being the "real" amy.

danielle is shocked to find out that she is pregnant .....wonder if she turns to her "mum"

[CrazyLea]

I was wondering that Shaza.
Sooner the better please.
Hate Ronnie. Hate Danielle. So hopefully once it's all out. Ronnie and Danielle can leave together :D Forever :D And Archie can be killed by Danielle maybe? Gotta make her a little more interesting before she leaves.. :p.

[sindydoll]

wish she would tell her its been going on too long now

[Bryan]

last night's episodes were disapointing to say the least, and so far fetched with them falling into the lake. wish they'd killed sean off, it's not like he has any reason to return in the future unless they wanted to kill off Roxy or one of the Mitchells.

[Joanne]

I thought it was all a bit drawn out. When Roxy saw Ronnie and Jack arrive why did she then walk out onto the icy lake?

[DaVeyWaVey]

Roxy was silly. She seen the ice cracking underneath her and Ronnie was shouting for her to run and she just stood there?! I didn't like these pair of episodes at all - I thought the acting was weak, the scenes on the ice were silly and poorly done but I am glad to see the back of the Roxy's baby storyline as I was never a big fan of it anyway. I thought these two episodes were going to be big, but I thought it was just one big anti climax. Oh well, at least there wasn't another "New Year" death..

[JustJodi]

Excuse me but did something happen last night LOL
OK Sean and Roxy are in the water,, Ronnie dives in and pulls her sister out,, they should be shivering and dripping wet,, stupid stupid ?Roxy goes to the baby and pulls it to her chest ( she had a fake fur coat that would absorb half the lake like a sponge ) and she hugs that tiny PREEMIE to her WET CHEST ??
Me and My partner were sitting there picking that scene apart,, and oh Sean comes out,, no one HEARS HIM ?? Why on earth is Jack holding Ronnie OUTSIDE.. why didn't he bundle both girls up in the car and take the baby and go,,, stupid stupid dumb dumb dumb:wall: :wall: :wall: Are the EE writers that thick,, do they not know what hypothermia is ???How old are these writers 10-12 yrs old ???? gee :searchme:
OK so obviously they have "left the door open" for Sean's return ????

[Dutchgirl]

I'm with you on this one JJ. How unbelievable was that. It was all very emotional and than end it all on such a far fetched storyline. It is really a shame. But hey they had to bring Roxy and Ronnie together and Jack of course. It is nearly impossible to find someone in the water when it is dark. And the water must have been numbing.

I'm glad they are leaving the door open for Sean. I loved Stacey she was very level headed and Lacey is a good actress.

Plus how did Jack and Ronnie get from Walford to Connaught Water so quickly? It's at least half an hour away by road, assuming no traffic. But the main thing really, as has been said, is the blackness of the water and its temperature. It just seemed like a little swim in the Mediterranean!

[LostVoodoo]

that why i don't like stunts like this, they are so obviously fake that it ruins any sense of tension. one thing i did find darkly amusing was that Ronnie went staright in the water after Roxy and Jack just stood there and floundered. coward.

[Bad Wolf]

i much prefered emmerdale on ice to eastenders on ice- much more dramatic, last night was a bit naff for eastenders

[CrazyLea]

Was also weird how Sean just got out and walked away? He was soaking wet from FREEZING water... he's wondered off? Unless he goes home to get a change of clothes and a warm up no way will he survive the night.. surely lmao?

[Jojo]

I tuned in to see Sean's exit, the first time I've watched EE for probably a year - have to say, don't think I'll bother again.

Yey lets go swimming in a freezing cold water, as if we were in tropical climates, fishing by hand!

All of it was extremely disappointing I have to say.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Two people who literally live opposite each other both get into Oxford.....how plausible :D

[parkerman]

Two people who literally live opposite each other both get into Oxford.....how plausible :D

More plausible than Sean surviving the night after falling in to freezing cold water and having nowhere to go to get warm....:lol:

[Katy]

too right.

Tanyas in a bit a sticky situation, hmm lets see she can either go down for attempted murder for up to 7 years or the other option tell the truth, be convicted of perjury where the sentence is up to 7 years and add a bit of wasting police time in the mix as well, its sure a tough one!

Also if i were ROnnie and Roxy i think i'd be a bit more shook up,

[Abbie]

I really feel for Tanya at the moment this must be so hard

[Florijo]

I thought Sean's exit was very disappointing. The stuff at the lake was hilariously bad, in both writing and acting. It wasn't dramatic or tension filled, just sort of 'meh'. But then the whole storyline has been bad anyway.

Why an earth did Stacey not say anything when Sean said he was off to be 'with dad'? She just stood there like a lemon after her brother just told her it was time he went to be with their dead dad? WTF? This whole episode also reignited my dislike for the hyprocritical Mitchells.

I know Santer didn't want to loose Rob and so they obviously decided not to kill him but with what has happened, surely a better exit for him would to have been killed off. Sean has Stacey and Jean in Walford, true, but he is unlikely to ever come back considering the Mitchells (as the self-appointed voice of morality that they are:rolleyes: ) would never let it go. Sean won't be back, regardless of Rob's career propects. They would have been better of killing him off.

And lastly, what happened to the whole Sean was responsible for his dad's death stuff go? Why bring it up if you are never going to resolve it?

[parkerman]

An excellent post, Florijo. :cheer:

[miccisy]

too right.

I dont think Tanya would get done for perjury. Wouldnt it be extenuating (sp?) circumstances. She was trying to protect her child daughter. But maybe im wrong.

[JustJodi]

like i said Roxy went under for a while and had that stupid fake fur coat on ,, and she comes out nearly dry,, looks like her coat had been sprayed with a tiny bit of water..in reality that coat would have pulled her down and it would have taken Jack to help Ronnie pull her out cos that coat would have been DRENCHED,, and also DID NOT ANY ONE NOTICE,SHE PULLED THAT PREEMIE TO HER CHEST. and Ronnie is up against Jacks car .Neither of them were gasping for breath,, or shivering or turning blue...the whole episode SUKED..:thumbsdow

[Siobhan]

So I didn't miss much then??? Could get BBC news in Germany but BBC 1 wouldn't come in at all much to the happiness of my partner

[Abbie]

:lol: I liked the oxford stuff :p

[tammyy2j]

That was a great end scene with Max and Lauren :(

Who played Whitney's mother?

[Abbie]

Thought it was great tonight

I mean yes Tanya has gone off the rails in the past, but tonight you could really see that she puts her kids first even though it hasnt seemed it in the past.
And omg Lauren and Max :( I actaully like max now, its werid. Lauren is just a good actress

Poor Whitney

:eek: Janine! Poor Tiff! :(

[Florijo]

Only bit I disliked tonight was Tanya saying Max owed her. After what Tanya has done lately, Max owns her nothing. Nice to see her putting her kids first for once, and Max as well. Max and Tanya have great chemistry and I wonder if this is the start of trying to get them back together again. Max still loves her and I suspect Tanya loves him too.

The real Janine is back! Woo! Harsh on Tiff though but pretty hilarious. Janine would never work as a 'nice' character anyway not for to long :D

Poor Whitney. But I'm glad she realises Bianca is her 'real' mum and that genes mean nothing when it comes to parenting.

The Jean stuff was also great. AM glad they are picking up on thia agin as it is realistic that she would act this way. Glad there were no Mitchells to ruin it though when she went into the Vic as they would only have ignited a slanging match.

[Abbie]

Ooh I did forget to mention too that I loved the Jean bit, she is just great and great acting

[lizann]

Who played Whitney's mother?

Ruth Gemmell from Fever Pitch play Deb - Whitney's mum - she reminded me of Jacqui McQueen from Hollyoaks

Great Episode

I really wish Max would confide in Bradley - i sometimes feel Bradley really is left out by Max and he only thinks of his kids with Tanya

The bitch is back - long live Janine :cheer:

[*-Rooney-*]

i kinda got a lump in my throat when whitney told bianca that she was her mum and they hugged, thats a big breaking point for them after all the tony stuff,

whitneys mum couldnt give a stuff

[LostVoodoo]

i don't know a lot about the legal system, but would Max and Tanya really be allowed to meet so often when she is accussed of trying to murder him? and for them to discuss the case in such great detail!

[parkerman]

i don't know a lot about the legal system, but would Max and Tanya really be allowed to meet so often when she is accussed of trying to murder him? and for them to discuss the case in such great detail!

In a soap where Lauren can drive a car like an expert and three people can get out of an icy lake without any ill effects, of course Max and Tanya can discuss the case....They can do anything they like!

[xxOShelleyOxx]

too right.

Tanyas in a bit a sticky situation, hmm lets see she can either go down for attempted murder for up to 7 years or the other option tell the truth, be convicted of perjury where the sentence is up to 7 years and add a bit of wasting police time in the mix as well, its sure a tough one!

Also if i were ROnnie and Roxy i think i'd be a bit more shook up,

Did Stacey not tell the police she saw Tanya run Max over? Or did she just say she seen the accident..? Cause then she would be done aswell for perverting the court of justice. Or did Jack convince her to retract her statement? I dont know? lol

[Siobhan]

Have to say.. I loved it last night... the Whitney and Bianca bit had me crying.. Stacey and Jean.. fantastic acting by Jean.. it was brilliant... and Lauren at the end... altogether it was well done and the Bitch is back!!! :cheer:
how horrible for her to take the dog

[Joanne]

Thought the actress who played Whitney's mother was terrific - I'd like to see her again, hope her appearance wasn't just a one-off. Saying that though, I do love Whitney and Bianca together.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Brilliant episode last night. Janine's bitchiness was so brilliantly camp with her telling Tiffany to say 'goodbye' to Terrence! :D Brilliant! I'm so glad she's taking down this 'good' facade now.

The Max/Tanya scenes were great. I do think Jake Wood and Jo Joyner are the best actors on the show and I love every scene they are in. The chemistry between Max and Tanya is really there, and I know it's unlikely, but I'd love to see them back together one day, as unrealistic as it may be!

Whitney opening her heart out to her mum was quite awkward, as her mum just didn't seem to care! Whitney telling Bianca that she was her mum was such a well played emotional moment though.

The Jean/Stacey scenes were also very good. I think Jean is underrated and is very underused. I'd like to see more of her mental illness storyline over this next year and how Stacey deals with it.

[Siobhan]

When Bianca asked Whitney "did you see your mum" I thought she was going to lie and say no, I couldn't find her but when she said You are my mum, it cried.. it was so good

[Abbie]

When Bianca asked Whitney "did you see your mum" I thought she was going to lie and say no, I couldn't find her but when she said You are my mum, it cried.. it was so good

I just loved whitney and bianca I think they have been amazing

[Bad Wolf]

last night was bloody brilliant!!!!!!!

jean going crackers over sean
whitneys heartbreak
max crying (again)- how brilliant was lauren???? really good acting- the girl who plays abi irritates the life out of me

and.............................janine is back!!!!!!! and she made little tiff cry!

[Johnny Allen]

Thats like the Janine and Nick we know and love good to have them back to their bad ways. Janine with Peggy and Pat takes me back to the old EE days

[Joanne]

Is this nearly it for the return of Nick - presumably he'll disappear when/if Dot gives him the money, which I'm guessing she will do?

I'd like him to stick around for longer.

[JustJodi]

Wow......NICK is back,,, every thing I read about him is coming to "life" he is a real BAD BAD BAD BOY,, whooo.
"You are a glutton for punishment" whoa,, the things that came out of that guys mouth was pure evil directed to his poor mom..that Man is BAD.........

Ahhhh Janne is back and boy is she gonna be a real real bad girl...Peggy and Pat together ( the evil step moms )are a hoot.

I thought Lauren was great, that little kid who plays ABI, is so annoying !!!!!!!!!!! I am guessing that Max has not shared with Bradley about Lauren??

Stacey and Jean are great together,I am looking forward to more scenes between those two and addressing mental illness.


Hmmmm does any one think that that little girl DOTTY is really Nicks daughter ??

[sindydoll]

Wow......NICK is back,,, every thing I read about him is coming to "life" he is a real BAD BAD BAD BOY,, whooo.

Hmmmm does any one think that that little girl DOTTY is really Nicks daughter ?? she must be who else would she be?

[Siobhan]

I hope for Dot's sake that she is.. I mean, Dot has a lot of money that Bradley gave her... Nick doesn't know how much. It is not her money, can't she tell him that and say she was acting on behalf of someone else doing those good deeds??? or give him 10 grand and tell him to bugger off

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I'm loving little Tiffany Dean at the moment, the last month she has been a right little character, she was funny when the police were at Pat's she is really cute and comes out with stuff you wouldn't think she would say.

Nick & Janine - hate them both but it is what makes them good actors i think.

Lauren/Madeline is doing really good at the moment i think tooo as is Shona/Whitney

Oh and i loved the Dot/Jim stuff at christmas was really sad but cute

[tammyy2j]

Welcome back Nasty Nick :cheer:

[Dutchgirl]

Ah well Janine is evil again. But I do think she was right in giving Whitney her moms address. She has a right to know how the woman is. It must have been a shock but a good reality check. I think Bianca always reacts very selfish, me this me that. It is getting annoying.:sick:

[lizann]

Poor Jean - Stacey should now realise Callum only wants a bit of fun with her and nothing to do with her nutty mother whereas Bradley helped with Jean also

BTW where has Callum been? Did he go with Vinnie?

Nasty Nick is back - Dot really was taken in again she is a fool you think she would have learned

Max/Lauren scenes are heartbreaking - Jake Wood really is a terrific actor

[CrazyLea]

Wow I think Jake Wood is a fantastic actor. He plays the part of Max brilliantly.

For example.. Max is generally a nasty guy, but he cares for his family a LOT, and does have some good to him, the emotion Jake puts in to his performances, makes it all really realistic I think. When Max cries I feel so sad for him :( and you can see when he's really hurt.

Jake Wood is a little underrated I reckon.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Agree totally with what you've said Lea - I do think Jake Wood is the best actor EastEnders has - he can make the viewer feel different emotions for his character and can switch these emotions on and off... for example, I was really angry with him when he had his affair with Stacey, but now I feel really sorry for him and sympathise with him - he is a good versatile actor.

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah i also think jake wood is a good actor, he portrays the situations and the emotions thet the character is going through excellently

[Abbie]

Aww I hope dotty is Dots grand daughter

[LostVoodoo]

Agree totally with what you've said Lea - I do think Jake Wood is the best actor EastEnders has - he can make the viewer feel different emotions for his character and can switch these emotions on and off... for example, I was really angry with him when he had his affair with Stacey, but now I feel really sorry for him and sympathise with him - he is a good versatile actor.

ditto. like Sean, i find him a fascinatingly complex character. the empathy that Jake Wood somehow makes me feel for Max also makes me hate Jack for being so self-serving and hard.

[lizann]

apologises amended - he is a brillant actor - my head not there yesterday :wub:

[xxOShelleyOxx]

"bob is gay"
lol
it was writtin with magnets on the Slater's fridge

[Dutchgirl]

"bob is gay"
lol
it was writtin with magnets on the Slater's fridge
Who is Bob?:searchme:

[*-Rooney-*]

i was thinking that, :searchme:

[Perdita]

Probably does not refer to anybody in particular.

[xxOShelleyOxx]

"bob is gay"
lol
it was writtin with magnets on the Slater's fridge
Who is Bob?:searchme:

Bob could be short for Robert who plays Sean lol
just a thought but its probably just a random name
thought it was funny

[Siobhan]

I was thinking the same too.. maybe Lacey put it on there during his last days of filming :lol:

So last night... Max and Lauren scenes were brilliant and Abi, she is quiet selfish but then again her sister did run her dad over who she trully adores

And as for Lucy.. it was as ME ME ME... she didn't care what her "friend" was going through only if there was going to be a reporter and how SHE thought about killing her own dad

:nono::nono: Janine setting jay up like that.. how cruel

[tammyy2j]

Why didnt Jay grass up Janine - obviously if Peggy looked into it - it would show that Janine did all the purchasing

Loved the scenes with Lauren and Max and i can see where selfish brat Abi is coming from Max is her dad and she loves him alot

Lucy was a cow she is meant to be Lauren's friend. How come Peter didnt visit Lauren she was his girlfriend at one time

[Siobhan]

Jay did say it was Janine but she said she only just got in and nobody believe him anyway as there was a game console bought

[lizann]

poor Jay the little perv

poor Lauren the little attempted murderer

[sindydoll]

omg all that money in that stuffed cat! where did she get it from? Dot never learns does she! well she is going to tell bradley what she has done with the cash when he asks for it back

[JustJodi]

omg all that money in that stuffed cat! where did she get it from? Dot never learns does she! well she is going to tell bradley what she has done with the cash when he asks for it back


I do not think Janine knew the money was there...I hope Jay does not tell her LOL

DOT IS STUPID :thumbsdow she is just a weak weak old woman,,who never will learn.:wall:

[DaVeyWaVey]

I'm not a fan of this Dot storyline at all. Seeing Dot being victimised is incrediblty uncomfortable to watch :( Nick may play a good villain, but he's just bad and it's horrible to watch! At least Janine's antics are camped up a bit..

The Ronnie and Danielle scenes were nice :)

[Abbie]

The Ronnie and Danielle scenes were nice :)

I thought so to :D

Although in my head I was screaming TELL HER!!

[CrazyLea]

Haha that's actually pretty funny (the Bob thing) if it was another cast member who did it for Rob :lol:.

Do you reckon Dotty is genuine? She gives me the creeps lol. I keep imagining that Dot will wake up one morning, with a note from Nick saying something like "Really think I'd give Dotty?" or the police will turn up, as he's taken Dotty from someone .. or something. I don't trust her anyway :p.

Oh yeah forgot about the Ronnie and Danielle scenes. I hate them both, but must admit it was quite good :p Though for some reason I felt awkward with them both :S haha!

[JustJodi]

Quite a boring episode for Friday, interesting thing as the cat stuffed with money ( hope Jay hides it all in his back pack and puts the cat back in its place and pretends nothing happened):ninja:
I presume that Paul is the daddy of Danielles baby,, or Callum ??:hmm:
Why doesnt Danielle tell Ronnie that she is really her AMY ??:searchme:
Dot is a stupid old woman , she is now saddled with that grand kid that requires loads of Activity.So have we seen the last of that horrible Nick ????:mad:

[JustJodi]

If u think about it Davey,,, it seems like Dot is always being victimized ..she is not the only OLDER person on the square...

[CrazyLea]

Yeah but Dot sees the good in everyone. She's too kind for her own good bless her.

Can't see any of the other residents being so naive as Dot.. they just don't have the same heart as her :(.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Sadly I don't think Dotty is genuine. Nick has probably manipulated her into going along with this plan of his and I now suspect that Dotty isn't actually Dot's grandaughter sadly..:( I thought it would have been a much better storyline, if Nick returned and had actually changed and Dot struggled to forgive him, despite her always finding it so easy to forgive people..

I agree Jodi that Dot is always being victimised but like Lea says, it's because she easily lets people in and always forgives their wrong doings. I suspect that Danielle is pregnant with that sleazebag's baby... forgot his name, but he's such a sleaze!

Ah yeah, Paul.. the guy who works in the club..

[megan999]

How come Peter didnt visit Lauren she was his girlfriend at one time

He is still abroad on a school trip.

[Katy]

I thought it was a good week of episodes, loved the Lauren bits, and i loved the ronnie and Danielle, i feel so sorry for her.

[*-Rooney-*]

glad to see that danielle does actually have a bit of the mitchell spark after all when she stood up to ronnie

[Abbie]

Awww Man! whats going on?!

[*-Rooney-*]

how boring tonight with lucas and denise

loved the part with jean though

[Siobhan]

How sad was the scenes with Stacey and Charlie? Charlie is right, Jean doesn't deserve Stacey.. she has been there with her through everything and she only cares about Sean...

I love the bit with Denise saying God wanted them to live in sin :lol:

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah and she spoke to god also and god gave them the thumbs up to have sex

[parkerman]

How sad was the scenes with Stacey and Charlie? Charlie is right, Jean doesn't deserve Stacey.. she has been there with her through everything and she only cares about Sean...


Although to be fair, Jean is very ill.


I love the bit with Denise saying God wanted them to live in sin :lol:


Yes, that was brilliant. Personally I found Denise's attitude towards religion very refreshing for a soap. :thumbsup:

[*-Rooney-*]

but if dot was to hear denise OMG

[Siobhan]

I understand Jean is very ill but Stacey has been the only one there for her, support her all the way and keeping her together.. Stacey gave up so much of her life to support her mum...

[Perdita]

How sad was the scenes with Stacey and Charlie? Charlie is right, Jean doesn't deserve Stacey.. she has been there with her through everything and she only cares about Sean...

I love the bit with Denise saying God wanted them to live in sin :lol:

Jean has also supported Stacey through her abortion and her marriage troubles, in her own way. She can't help being the way she is and loves both her children. She would react the same way if Stacey had disappeared over night.

I don't know... She blames Stacey for Sean leaving cause Stacey return (and rightly so) Amy to Roxy

[*-Rooney-*]

plus in a way she blames stacey for sean disappearing because she thinks stacey betrayed her brother by giving baby amy back to roxy and jean never saw sean again.

[Perdita]

But Jean does not know what went on between Archie and Sean and does she know that Amy is not actually Sean's daughter? Sean would not have been able to look after Amy by himself, having to stay on the run all the time. If Jean knew all this, she might not blame Stacey.

I don't know this. I missed the week Sean went missing but I have a feeling she doesn't know... but Stacey did and Stacey did the right thing here...

She does know the baby isnt Sean's. Not sure if she knows it's Jack's though.

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah roxy filled her in on the fact that sean took amy when they bumped into each other in the shop and told jean that amy wasnt seans also.

[Siobhan]

ah then it makes her telling Stacey that it is all her fault for giving Amy back all the more horrid.. I understand she is ill and probably not thinking straight but she knows Stacey has been always there for her so that must account for something

[tammyy2j]

I find Denise/Lucas a really boring couple and he looks too young for her if he wasnt Chelesa's dad i think he was her fella.

Poor Stacey - Jean is being horrible and its not like Sean was the best son in the world

What an idiot Danielle to leave her phone and wallet at the Slaters. I really thought Stacey might see a picture of Ronnie in the wallet and maybe quiz Danielle.

[Abbie]

but if dot was to hear denise OMG

:lol: that would be funny!

[DaVeyWaVey]

I really can't be convinced that Lucas is Chelsea's dad.. he looks far too young!

I didn't like last night's episode very much - it was all pretty morbid. The Stacey/Jean scenes were good, but the Lucas/Denise stuff was pretty tedious and boring.

[*-Rooney-*]

i felt exactly the same cut the whole fox family out and we wouldnt even notice they were gone

[lizann]

It would have been best if Denise and her children had left after Kevin's death. I dont understand why she would stay she had no family there and no job.

I felt sorry for Stacey but Jean is starting to annoy me - how much more of her loopiness can we stand

[sindydoll]

Dot explaining the massage parlour to dotty...its for people who go stiff and need relaxing :lol: :rotfl:

[Siobhan]

Dot explaining the massage parlour to dotty...its for people who go stiff and need relaxing :lol: :rotfl:

That was brilliant... :rotfl:

[DaVeyWaVey]

It's amazing how many 14 year olds can drive in the Square..first Lauren, then Jay last night speeding off in that car :rolleyes: soo realistic.

Last night's episode was a slight improvement on Mondays. I don't care about Denise or Lucas, but I think Denise and Zainab being friends is a very good idea as they are good together..

The Ronnie/Danielle scenes were nice and it's good to see Roxy being thrown into the equation, bonding with Danielle too.

[sindydoll]

getting fed up with thr ronnie/danielle thing

[lizann]

Danielle is starting to annoy me - either tell Ronnie or leave

So whose flat is Ronnie living in now - Was that Christian or Vinnie/Garry/Minty/Callum's flat - i'm confused :confused:

I see the poison dwarf Peggy is protesting again :thumbsdow

HTF did Jay get a car and also how can he drive :confused: - i'm surprised he can see over the steering wheel - must be wearing platforms

Denise/Lucas - BORING!:thumbsdow

[Siobhan]

it was shirley's flat, then Jase (where he was killed) then Vinnie's flat and then he left it for Callum and now ronnies...

[Dutchgirl]

I know Jean is not well. But she was terribly cruel at Stacey. They portray her good though. And Lacey is still such a good actress she really shines in these sort of storylines.

I like the chemistry betwwen Zainab and Denise. I didn't think it would work between them as friends but it does.

Oh and please get the story between and Danielle on it is getting on my nerves.

[Dutchgirl]

it was shirley's flat, then Jase (where he was killed) then Vinnie's flat and then he left it for Callum and now ronnies...
So callum has left the building. (Eastenders?!)

[megan999]

I hope Callum HAS/ is going to leave, I can't stand him. And I am also bored of the Ronnie/Danielle storyline. Talk about milking it! Zainab and Denise make good friends. But the Denise/Lucas thing is also getting on my nerves. I hope he turns her down and leaves EE for good. Jay getting a car and driving is ridiculous. :thumbsdow Dotty is creepy!

[di marco]

it was shirley's flat, then Jase (where he was killed) then Vinnie's flat and then he left it for Callum and now ronnies...
So callum has left the building. (Eastenders?!)

unfortunately i dont think he is! :( i think he said he couldnt afford the flat so was moving in with garry and minty (i might be wrong)?

[di marco]

It's amazing how many 14 year olds can drive in the Square..first Lauren, then Jay last night speeding off in that car :rolleyes: soo realistic.

although i find it unrealistic that lauren would know how to/be able to drive a car, i dont think its that unrealistic with jay, i know a lot of people his sort of age by where i live who drive around in cars, i dunno how they know how to drive but the sort of person that jay is it doesnt surprise me


HTF did Jay get a car and also how can he drive :confused: - i'm surprised he can see over the steering wheel - must be wearing platforms

im guessing he used the money he found in the cat to buy the car, if he was buying it from someone who just wanted to sell their car rather than a company i cant see them minding too much, i know someone who managed to buy a car when they were about 15 and the owner didnt care

[parkerman]

It's amazing how many 14 year olds can drive in the Square..first Lauren, then Jay last night speeding off in that car :rolleyes: soo realistic.

Maybe Lauren taught Jay how to drive; she's obviously an expert.:)

[Abbie]

:lol: I was thinking that about Jay

[JustJodi]

Wow that was a good scene with Charlie and Stacey.. I am glad that Stacey made the call..
Why on earth did Danielle think that Paul would be there for her?? Now the whole thing with Ronnie was just plain STRANGE,, Daniele goes Bye Mum, and then Ronnie turns up.. how strange was that..not sure where this story line is heading, but I have a sneaking hunch that Archie HAS NO CLUE who Danielle is ...:confused:
Does any one have a clue how much money that Jay found in the CAT??? And does Janine even know the money exsisted ?? ( probably not )
Oh my oh my Jordan really dropped his dad in it didn't he???? Man !!!!! Lucas is going to have some explaining to do, if Denise lets Lucas LIVE:ninja:
Wonder who owns the massage parlour ???:hmm:

[*-Rooney-*]

Yeah love the scenes with stacey when she dealing with jeans illness she shows a different side to the brassy brunette we normally see.

Danielle is a naive young girl and she prob thinks paul actually liked her, and didnt just use her, she will just have to learn by her mistakes shame she is pregnant. I think she was planning on leaving the square and thats why she said bye mum as she realised she wasnt going to have a chance to ever tell her who she really is. Archie doesnt know danielle is amy if he did he would have done something to get rid of her.

Im glad jordan told denise about his dad still being married she has a right to know but if looks could kill lol

and we know who owns the massage parlour..........Donald Duck

[Perdita]

I think Janine knows about the money, she is not the type to keep a stuffed cat with her all the time.

[parkerman]

So does Archie own the massage parlour then?

im glad stacey made the call as well, although she doesnt want to have her mum taken away she cant cope on her own

i dunno why danielle thought paul actually liked her, apart from being naive, seeing how hes treated her before, and i know i wouldnt care whether she was pregnant or not, she didnt even tell him so hows he supposed to know? i also dunno how ronnie didnt hear danielle saying bye mum seeing as she walked into the room almost straight afterwards. archie definitely doesnt know about danielle, just wonder if he will find out before ronnie or not

i dunno why lucas didnt just tell denise about being married, she was going to find out sooner or later, he cant be mad at jordan for telling her. also is it a different kid who plays jordan now or has he just had all his hair cut off?

[di marco]

Does any one have a clue how much money that Jay found in the CAT??? And does Janine even know the money exsisted ?? ( probably not )


I think Janine knows about the money, she is not the type to keep a stuffed cat with her all the time.

imo i dont think janine did know about the money that was in the cat, otherwise she would probably have spent all of it/most of it by now. i think she just kept the cat to try and prove the point that she had changed/did love him, getting rid of the cat would have proved otherwise. dunno how much money was in there though, probably quite a lot

[di marco]

So does Archie own the massage parlour then?

hmmmm i dunno, i hadnt thought of that. i do think though that it was archie who phoned the police to complain about peggy protesting

[Perdita]

Jordan is still the same kid, just had a hair cut

[di marco]

Jordan is still the same kid, just had a hair cut

thanks, i thought his face looked different but i wasnt really sure

[tammyy2j]

Denise on the exercise bike :lol: :lol:

I thought Zainab was maybe talking her to different type of shop :angel:

[Abbie]

What an episode!
I was full blown crying by the end

[sindydoll]

ronnie saying to dannielle we'll manage ...do u think she knows :eek:

[Abbie]

ronnie saying to dannielle we'll manage ...do u think she knows :eek:

No but it was so sweet

I loved their scenes last night

[Dutchgirl]

So does Archie own the massage parlour then?
Now that would be something. His money has to come from somewhere.

I feel sorry for Danielle. Ronnie can be so cruel. She has blocked her feelings an is nasty to people who show them or are vulnerable.

Stacey is so good. ( or no better Lacey is)

[di marco]

ronnie saying to dannielle we'll manage ...do u think she knows :eek:

no, cos if she did she wouldnt have said that having a baby was the biggest regret of her life (or something like that)

although to us what ronnie said about her baby seemed quite mean seeing as she was saying it to danielle, i can understand where shes coming from cos her baby was taken away from her so all shes experienced from it is grief, especially now as she thinks shes dead. i hope danielle doesnt hold what ronnie said against her in the future, especially once she realises that ronnie thinks shes dead

[di marco]

I feel sorry for Danielle. Ronnie can be so cruel. She has blocked her feelings an is nasty to people who show them or are vulnerable.

i dont think she was being cruel, to her danielle is just someone who happens to live on the square who ronnie thinks didnt know anything about her baby. i think she was actually trying to be nice to danielle and encourage her to do the right thing (ie go back to live with her family) as she knows what its like to not have any support from anyone around you. i think it just came out a bit wrong, i dont think she deliberately meant to be mean

[*-Rooney-*]

i really wish they would use this opportunity to show stacey continue to show her vulnerability, by letting her find out that danielle is pregnant and show them having a true heart to heart with stacey talking about her abortion that she was forced into and her feelings about it etc

[di marco]

i really wish they would use this opportunity to show stacey continue to show her vulnerability, by letting her find out that danielle is pregnant and show them having a true heart to heart with stacey talking about her abortion that she was forced into and her feelings about it etc

i havent really read the spoilers but i think this could happen, cos doesnt danielle tell stacey about being pregnant when ronnie cancels going to the abortion clinic with her?

[Johnny Allen]

So does Archie own the massage parlour then?

hmmmm i dunno, i hadnt thought of that. i do think though that it was archie who phoned the police to complain about peggy protesting


I said to my mum I bet he's the one who owns it, he seemed eager to stop Peggy protesting.

[Bad Wolf]

just watched fridays and cried my eyes out- stacey and jean were brilliant

[CrazyLea]

I can't decide whether to watch it or not haha, you all seem to think it was good.. so maybe I should.. was it just Stacey and Jean? And Danielle and Ronnie?

[di marco]

I can't decide whether to watch it or not haha, you all seem to think it was good.. so maybe I should.. was it just Stacey and Jean? And Danielle and Ronnie?

erm i think denise and lucas were in it too, cant really remember now lol!

i did'nt know ronnie was going to even be going to the clinic with her, shame she cancels

If danielle does go ahead and have an abortion i think ronnie will be distraught when she finds out danielle is her "baby" and had very little help in the situation.

im glad stacey reached out to danielle and offered her back though

[Bad Wolf]

I can't decide whether to watch it or not haha, you all seem to think it was good.. so maybe I should.. was it just Stacey and Jean? And Danielle and Ronnie?

denise and lucas were the comedy relief- she gets a excercise bike because her and lucas cant share a bed

yeh i think ronnie would be upset and annoyed with herself that she had made danielle abort her grandkid and that she had made danielle go through the pain she had (in a way)

danielle decides to have an abortion but after talking to stacey regrets her decision but its too late as shes already taken the the first tablet

im glad stacey let danielle come back to stay as well

[di marco]

I can't decide whether to watch it or not haha, you all seem to think it was good.. so maybe I should.. was it just Stacey and Jean? And Danielle and Ronnie?

oh yeh i remember now!

[CrazyLea]

Well I just watched it. Was pretty good actually haha. Denise and Zainab make me laugh! " I know a shop " :lol:.

Ronnie and Danielle was pretty good too.

And felt so sorry for Stacey bless her :(. Glad Jean did that though. Stacey would never have done.

[Siobhan]

I sobbed on Friday.. the scenes with Jean and Stacey.. I really thought Jean had taken the pills but she didn't and committed herself instead.. the kiss she blew to Stacey at the end :crying::crying::crying: it was so moving

Then the opposite with Zainab and Denise, that was hilarious.. I am loving their friendship in it

[tammyy2j]

Do you think Roxy should let Stacey and Jean see and be part of baby Amy's life afterall they loved her like she was a Slater

The scenes with Stacey and Jean were heartbreaking :crying:

[*-Rooney-*]

i dont know, we havent seen any interaction between the 2 families since the whole lake business have we, we have barely even seen roxy. and the slaters have seemed to have forgotten all about amy even being part of there lives for that short time she has never been mentioned again. It would be a good story to bring up though

[tammyy2j]

Why doesnt Peggy call the cops on Janine :confused:

Tanya's home

[*-Rooney-*]

because like janine said peggy is a mitchell, and mitchells hate the police more than the people like janine, they get there own version of justice

oh loved the slap

[Siobhan]

Oh Tanya whacking max and chucking a drink at Jane... wow!!!
It is not there fault.. Lauren asked to go away. it was her choice

[tammyy2j]

I think prison might have toughen up Tanya and changed her.

Wow - she hit Max :eek:

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah but they were supposed to be looking after lauren and thats the only way tanya is looking at it. they could have stopped her if jane hadnt hesitated about lauren staying and making max beg to ian

[Siobhan]

I don't think it would have changed her mind at all. she didn't want to be on the square near abi or max

[CrazyLea]

It is deffo not Jane's fault. She didn't deserve that, well out of order. Lauren isn't Jane's responsibility. Even if Jane hadn't hesitated, Lauren still wouldn't have stayed. She just didn't want to.

[*-Rooney-*]

tanya still has some resentment towards jane because she let lauren move back in with max from hers in the first place, after lauren overheard ian talking about money and felt unwelcome

[Abbie]

:eek: that was a right chuck of the wine last night!

[lizann]

Is Max living with Jack again now?

Why is Max and Tanya blaming everyone else over Lauren except themselves

Tanya is one tough cookie since she came out of prison

Why doesnt Dot want Bradley living with her again?

[*-Rooney-*]

im liking the new tanya shes not still the same but tougher

i dont think dot meant that she didnt want bradley living with her in a bad way, like she said bradley is the only sane one in the house and they are all depending on a mature person or something to those words

[Abbie]

Im loving tanya back :thumbsup:

[*-Rooney-*]

loved the interaction between tanya and jack

Tanya: what sister is that, Ronnie, Roxy?

[parkerman]

Why doesnt Dot want Bradley living with her again?
She doesn't want Bradley back because she doesn't want him to find out about the deal she's done with Nick.

[Siobhan]

Tanya may now realise that it wasn't Jane's or Max's fault... Lauren has made it clear she really doesn't want to come back to her either... I was glad Jane told her what she thinks.. Tanya needed to look at herself first

[di marco]

i dont know, we havent seen any interaction between the 2 families since the whole lake business have we, we have barely even seen roxy. and the slaters have seemed to have forgotten all about amy even being part of there lives for that short time she has never been mentioned again.

i think jean should be allowed to still see amy if/when shes better as i think she took the news the hardest and still wanted to treat amy as a granddaughter. to me i dont think stacey will be that bothered about it in a few weeks/months time and i think charlie and mo have got over it already!

Is Max living with Jack again now?

yeh jack let him stay at his cos he knew max didnt have anywhere else to go, and probably also cos tanya had just turned him down as well

[di marco]

Tanya may now realise that it wasn't Jane's or Max's fault... Lauren has made it clear she really doesn't want to come back to her either... I was glad Jane told her what she thinks.. Tanya needed to look at herself first

i hope tanya now knows it wasnt max, jack or janes fault that lauren wanted to leave. i hope she stops blaming them now instead of herself, especially jane as theres no way she would have been able to stop lauren from leaving anyway

[miccisy]

I wasnt anyones fault Lauren wanted to leave, she just wanted to get away from everything probably especially that bratty sister of hers.

When Tanya was in prison she actually admited that the reason Lauren had done it was their fault (hers and Maxs). Although Tanya was to blame i still think that Max should be blaming himself more. He drove his daughter to do it yet he doesnt seem bothered.

i dont think abi was acting bratty when she had a go at lauren, id hate my sis too if she tried to kill my dad! and i definitely think it is both max and tanyas fault, although max initially started it by having the affair with stacey, tanya used her kids to get back at max and wasnt a very good mother to them at times, and i think she was the reason max did most of the things he did after that cos she was keeping his kids away from him. if tanya had behaved better i dont think max would have been as bad

[Abbie]

:eek: Dotty at the end!!

I so wanted to believe she was so sweet :(

[tammyy2j]

I knew little Dotty was too good to be true

[Abbie]

So is she his daughter?

[*-Rooney-*]

[Abbie]

Aww lol I see what you mean, but you got to admit she looks sweeter :p

[sindydoll]

naughty dotty....i still dont believe thats her name im thinking its to keep dot sweet

[*-Rooney-*]

i think her name will be kayla or smothing more today if you know what i mean, dotty is too much like something nick just wouldnt do

[Perdita]

So is she his daughter?

Dorothy "Dotty" Cotton, played by Molly Conlin, is the daughter of Nick Cotton, who has returned to the series after a seven year break. John Altman, who plays Nick, describes Dotty as "a chip off the old block".

Dotty was the result of a one-night stand that Nick had with an alcoholic woman named Sandy. Whilst serving time in prison, Nick received a letter from Sandy telling him that she had given birth to their daughter, and he sent her money on the condition that she named their daughter Dorothy, after her grandmother Dot Branning. Upon his early release from prison in April 2008, Nick discovered that Sandy had died and took custody of Dotty.

Well yeah, thats from Wiki and they know that from what they have me told and what they have made us believe
But now, whos to say its true?

[JustJodi]

I can not believe that DOTTY is so much like Nick, cos he was locked up all the time she was growing up, so how did she turn into such a NASTY PIECE OF WORK ..Nick must really have BRAINWASHED her real good before releasing her to his poor gullible ma...Shes 7 yrs old for heavens sake...

[Siobhan]

Is she only 7?? I thought she was about 9 or 10

[JustJodi]

Is she only 7?? I thought she was about 9 or 10


Thats what Dot said... or at least the SUBTITLES said :p

[Perdita]

Her mum was an alcoholic and she went with Nick. Perhaps she never kept such nice company and that is why Dotty did not need a lot of influence from Nick.

[Siobhan]

Is she only 7?? I thought she was about 9 or 10

Ok.. didn't know you do fraction in the UK at that age

[Abbie]

I think I remember doing them then. what year would you be in?

[Siobhan]

I think I remember doing them then. what year would you be in?

Not sure.. if you start at 4 then it would be year 3 or 4 right?? (if you start year 1 when 4)

[Abbie]

Oh yeah, you do fractions at that age then

[parkerman]

If Dotty is not Nick's where would he have got her from? Where are her real parents? It seems to make sense that she must be Nick's...but then it also made sense to me that Lauren wouldn't be able to drive....:rolleyes:

[Perdita]

So Dotty's real name is Kirsty. She seems too grown up for her age. Is that her real accent or is she putting it on?

[Joanne]

I think I remember doing them then. what year would you be in?

Not sure.. if you start at 4 then it would be year 3 or 4 right?? (if you start year 1 when 4)

You wouldn't be 4 in Yr 1. Yr 1 would be aged 5 or 6. Age 7 would be Yr 2 or 3 depending on when you were born. My daughter is in Yr 3 and she's 8 - was born in November but there are a couple of children in her class who won't be 8 until August.

[Joanne]

The school must know that her real name is Kirsty. They would have applied to her previous school for her records. She must have been to school because she is able to read and write etc - I can't see that Nick would have ever home educated her!

When Dot enrolled her at the school presumably she gave the name as Dotty Cotton - wouldn't the school have told her that that isn't her real name. Also, what about her medical records?

[*-Rooney-*]

i was 4 when i was in primary 1, it depends what part of the year you are born

[Abbie]

Ooo is her name kirsty I missed the beginning part, I still like her I mean I feel so bad for Dot but well the whole idea makes a good storyline and just the way 'dotty' is

[lizann]

I dont think Dotty / Kirsty is Nick's daughter.

This is all going to backfire big time for Dot and have no pity for her the old fool she was warned by everyone :thumbsdow

[*-Rooney-*]

well where exactly did nick get the manipulative little minx - rent a kid?

we dont have them where i come from lol

[parkerman]

I dont think Dotty / Kirsty is Nick's daughter.



Why did he say she was "A chip off the old block" then?

[Perdita]

She could be the daughter of somebody he was in prison with who did a lot of these kind of scams.

[parkerman]

The whole tone of the conversation in the car was that she was his daughter.

[Perdita]

Missed most of it as I got a phone call and it would have been rather rude to say call back in half an hour :lol: But they do seem very close which would suggest to me that they know each other very well.

[Abbie]

At first when we knew dotty was in on the plan my inital thought was maybe she wanst his daughter but now I think she is, well posibly I think. Its more liekly that she is

i wouldnt always trust everything it says on wikipedia, its not always reliable as anyone can write absolutely anything on there. also the person who wrote it will only know what has been on the tv, so as we assume shes nicks thats what itll say

i do personally think shes nicks daughter though

[di marco]

The school must know that her real name is Kirsty. They would have applied to her previous school for her records. She must have been to school because she is able to read and write etc - I can't see that Nick would have ever home educated her!

When Dot enrolled her at the school presumably she gave the name as Dotty Cotton - wouldn't the school have told her that that isn't her real name. Also, what about her medical records?

i was thinking that as well, that the school would know her real name. dont you need a birth certificate to enroll kids at school?

[di marco]

i was 4 when i was in primary 1, it depends what part of the year you are born

in england though, you start school in reception when youre 4 or 5, in year 1 everyone is either 5 or 6

so as shes 7 she must be in year 2 or 3, im guessing year 3 as i cant remember when i started learning fractions but im pretty certain it wasnt in infant school

[di marco]

At first when we knew dotty was in on the plan my inital thought was maybe she wanst his daughter but now I think she is, well posibly I think. Its more liekly that she is

same. at first i had a doubt whether she was actually his daughter or not, but now im pretty certain she is. otherwise in the car i dont think she would have called dot grandma

[Siobhan]

yeah she is definitely his daughter.. just her name is not Dotty..
