I really enjoyed the scenes with Jay,,, Phil is boring me silly,,, umm gang remember Ben left his cell phone in the bathroom,, whatever became of that ????? Jamie B. has grownh and become one fine actor,, my gosh he is probably the only actor I know who can cry like that..Perry Fenwick couldn't even squeeze out a tear...Lola will come around,, but I think Patrick will take care of. Now I have to ask the dumb ques5tion.....how in the heck did Lucy get a lawyer to ddraw up papers for the buisnesses and the house,, shes not even a legal adult ....I can see it being in TRUST but with some one to supervise,,until she is xx yrs old ?????

The fact Sharon and Tanya have started off on bad terms makes me think Sharon will be Cora's daughter
Only if they are re-writing all the profiles
Why is Shirley still supporting Mitchell?
Why is Jay still supporting Mitchell even though Mitchell has kicked him out without even giving him his stuff

Uhm JJ I was wondering the same, and no witnesses? Is it legal. J
I love Jamie to he is a second Lacey. He is one of the better actors. Hope Jay never finds out Phil had a great deal to do with his fathers demise. But then again it would make for a good storyline.

I thought that because the writers had dragged on the Heather's murder storyline for so long, I wouldn't care about the ending, but I am really enjoying EE at the moment. Jamie Borthwick's acting is great, and Rudolph Walker's acting is good too:thumbsup:. I hope that he does give him a place to stay. This storyline shows what can be done compared to the awful "Kat's affair" storyline. But I bet that they will drag that storyline out for sure.

we could have done with the murder and the hunt for the killer being kept a bit more high-profile over the last few months?
where were the police 'Murder' posters? how about an occaisional bit of police presence on the square? just to keep it topical....

While he looks good I find him annoying as is his sister and both are useless actors

Well spotted guys, never considered Derek, makes sense if it is ,Phil would put Sharon back in the Vic which was going to happen sooner than later imo. Pity if the football team stops created some funny moments with the arguing and scuffles.

Would the team be expelled from the league for what Ray did? Surely he would be banned rather than the whole team who knew nothing about it.

Can't fault your logic Parkerman
Would the team be expelled from the league for what Ray did? Surely he would be banned rather than the whole team who knew nothing about it.
depends on the organisation level of the league - in any decent league if a player wants to sign for Club A, they must declare they are free to sign, or if they are signed already for Club B - Club A must get clearance for that player from his/her existing team before they can play

The only character who actually appeared to hurt his hand was Max. Probably means nothing though!

Max's hand didnt look hurt plus it looks small with freckles think we can rule out Max then maybe and he seems to have his own secret agenda that he had pay large cash to someone (is this the person be beat up with Derek or a secret wife or is it Stacey)

So, AJ split up with his wife because he didn't want kids, and then he spends the night with Roxy. Will she get pregnant by him, I wonder??
Am I the only one who is glad Sharon is back? It gives someone for Phil to talk to because his family has split up (granted this is thanks to him!), and she is bringing life back to the R&R, with Joey's help.
I also find Joey annoying, but when he's not meddling with his sister's life he's not TOO bad!

I would assume that it sells alcohol because a lot of restaurants make most of their profit from it. The Masoods don't drink alcohol but don't seem to have a problem with people that do (Zainab being snooty to Roxy aside), they go in the Vic quite often. Plus 'curry and a lager' is a staple of most curry houses!

Fatboy said Jean has gone to visit Wendy (her friend). Don't know about Mo.
Alife jealous of Kat and Roxy falling over Michael :p
I don't know how the licensing of pubs works but is it really possible for Phil to kick Alfie and Kat out of the pub when their names are still above the door? And surely he has to give more than a week's notice???

without the landlord or landlady resident at the pub, I believe you cannot sell alcohol. You could give it away but you could not trade
So can Phil, who I presume is owner of the Vic (?), appoint Roxy as manager to continue trading? Kind of not paid a lot of attention lately, as you might gather :p

no he cant, he can appoint Roxy as Manager but without the named landlord or landlady they cannot continue to trade and serve/sell alcohol
so it comes down to who's name is over the door!!

Although I agree with what you say, I find this whole story line of the close monitoring by the social worker to be ridiculous. The social services would not take such a keen interest in Lola. The baby is not "at risk" in the sense it is used by social workers; they know she is not in danger of mistreatment or abuse. Lola needs support not criticism, which is what they would try to do - give support. A social worker would not criticise the fact the washing up's not been done for example. A social worker would not inspect Lexi's bum, she's not a health professional. Neither the police nor the social services have the right to take away Lexi if all they are doing is calling Lola in for questioning. She would either be taken with or left with Billy or Patrick. And as for visiting once a day, is the caseload in the East End of London really that small that the social worker can do this? Does she only have a handful of cases? Especially as I've already said, Lexi is not at risk of physical harm. I find the while thing just too ridiculous. I can image social workers sitting at home watching this and absolutely seething that they are seen as the bad guys and not as people trying to help.

For me the Friday ep went past sensible boundaries for all the reasons you've all stated , how the Beeb can issue an assistance warning at the end is pathetic. This storyline is topical and deals with very sensitive issues and deserves to be handled correctly.So distorted it is unjustifiable to the agencies depicted and viewers. All done I guess to get Sharon & Phil back together and Sharon back in the Vic. imo. I have written to the Beeb and if I get the courtesy of a reply I will post it. Incidentally Lexi was more at risk of harm the way she was being transported in the car apart from the legal issues.

So Derek didnt try using the tracker on Alice's new phone that was stolen :-> :rolleyes:
he BBC has denied setting out to portray social workers in a poor light following complaints over Lola Pearce's current EastEnders storyline.
Last week, viewers saw Lola's baby daughter Lexi removed from her care by strict social worker Trish Barnes after she was arrested for assault. The sad development for Lola followed a number of tense visits from Trish.
The Guardian reports that The British Association of Social Workers (BASW) has now complained over the portrayal of Trish in the plotline, branding the recent scenes "shabby" as accurate procedures were not followed.
Bridget Robb, acting chief of the BASW, commented: "It is disgraceful to see a publicly funded broadcaster deliberately spreading misinformation about the child protection process because it is too lazy and arrogant to get it right.
"We regularly give advice to programmes about social work storylines - we would like to know who advised EastEnders so badly.
"Social workers have a difficult enough job as it is. Unlike the writers and actors on EastEnders, they have to step through those front doors that no-one else wants to step through, and they do it on a daily basis, to protect children, not to target families.
"EastEnders' shabby portrayal of an entire profession has made a tough job even tougher."
One social worker complained directly to the BBC over the episode in question, claiming that it was irresponsible to show Lexi being taken away from Lola without sufficient grounds.
In response, a BBC Complaints representative said: "We'd like to assure you our intention is not to portray social workers in a negative light. While the audience has seen how much Lola loves Lexi and how responsible she can be with her baby, we were careful to ensure that when the social worker was visiting, she generally saw only more worrying behaviour.
"Lola was often abrasive when speaking to the social worker and casual - sometimes even flippant - in her responses to the social worker's suggestions. Given that Lola is a young mother, who has been, until this episode, wearing an electronic tag… with a history of getting into trouble with the police, and is known to have had a difficult childhood herself… it was clearly important for social services to be involved with the family in order to ensure that Lola could cope with having a baby."
They continued: "In the last few weeks the social worker witnessed a series of unfortunate incidents, including Lexi wearing a tea-towel as a make-shift nappy, reports of Lola not taking Lexi to the mother and baby group, a messy and unclean flat, and the discovery that Billy had lied to her about having a job.
"Under the circumstances, we believe the audience will have understood why she had to act to remove Lexi quickly when the allegation of assault is made against Lola by Alexa.
"There was no suggestion that the social worker's actions were anything other than a genuine desire to protect Lexi, or that her concerns about Lola were unreasonable, given the picture she and the previous social worker had formed over a substantial period of time."
Lola will be seen attempting to win Lexi back with help from her family in upcoming episodes.

I particularly like some of the comments underneath especially this one: "As a retired social worker I have been appalled by the way the role of Lola's social worker has been presented in East Enders. Real life, trained social workers just don't behave like this woman. The script writers dont even appear to know the difference between the roles of the social worker and the health visitor - not the social worker's job to be checking for nappy rash! Social workers dont sit with a file open and taking notes while visiting clients. Social workers don't go taking babies into care without good reason (social work departments don't have the funds to keep children in care unless there is serious risk and it is absolutely necessary), and without having consulted the whole team involved - health visitors, GP, senior child protection workers, police and probation. And what was the legal basis for removing the baby? This social worker appears to be completely negative and critical rather than supportive and encouraging - if I were her line manager she would probably be sacked - or at least sent away for some child protection training!

Sorry to put this post in guys when things have moved on since the Social Worker incident last Friday, I did complain to the BBC at the time and have just recieved the following reply,in full quote
Our intention isn’t to portray social workers in a negative light. Whilst the audience has seen how much Lola loves Lexi and how responsible she can be with her baby, we were careful to ensure that when the social worker was visiting, she generally saw only more worrying behaviour. Lola was often abrasive when speaking to the social worker and casual – sometimes even flippant in her responses to the social worker’s suggestions. Given that Lola is a young mother, who has been, until this episode, wearing an electronic tag (for criminal damage to the car lot), with a history of getting into trouble with the police, and is known to have had a difficult childhood herself (indeed, three generations of the family have been through the care system), it was clearly important for social services to be involved with the family in order to ensure that Lola could cope with having a baby.
In the last few weeks the social worker witnessed a series of unfortunate incidents, including Lexi wearing a tea-towel as a make-shift nappy, reports of Lola not taking Lexi to the mother & baby group, a messy and unclean flat, and the discovery that Billy had lied to her about having a job. Under the circumstances, we believe the audience will have understood why she had to act to remove Lexi quickly when the allegation of assault is made against Lola by Alexa. There was no suggestion that the social worker’s actions were anything other than a genuine desire to protect Lexi, or that her concerns about Lola were unreasonable, given the picture she and the previous social worker had formed over a substantial period of time. There was certainly no inference that her actions were anything personal against Lola or her family.

This is a daily report of audience feedback that’s made available to many BBC staff, including members of the BBC Executive Board, channel controllers and other senior managers.

As I said at the time brilliant news that Social Services Association complained, I won't keep banging on about it but the Beeb just don't get it continuing to defend the undefencible. No apology, if they wish to show these half-cocked storylines then say at the start the storyline isn't meant to represent factual reality imo. Rant over, back to my normal insanity.

Thanks for doing that, Glen. The BBC's response is pathetic. Even if the social worker did see an untidy house and a tea-towel being used as a make-shift nappy that would be no reason for Social Services to remove Lexi. And as for Lola being abrasive and flippant with the social worker, I can't believe they would even advance that as reason for taking Lexi into care.
They also say, "Under the circumstances, we believe the audience will have understood why she had to act to remove Lexi quickly when the allegation of assault is made against Lola by Alexa." And when Abi backed up Lola and said what really happened why did social services keep Lexi? Do we understand that? Obviously the Social Services Association don't and they are the people who should know.
Eastenders' hold on reality is tenuous at the best of times, but this story really takes the biscuit.

Who told you you can't criticise Lola and her gramps? If someone told you that then they're wrong. You're welcome to criticise them all you like.
However that really isn't the point we've been discussing is it? What everyone but you is saying is that a social worker wouldn't act the way the social worker in this case is acting. She should be trying to support Lola in keeping the baby. She would not complain about the washing up not being done. She would never inspect Lexi for nappy rash. Social Services would not take Lexi away because Lola was being called in for questioning by the police. All these things just wouldn't happen in the way they are shown in Eastenders. Yes, Lola's background is why Social Services are involved, that's fair enough, but being involved doesn't mean they would do all the outrageous things they are shown doing. Social Services will always try and keep families together. It is something of a soap myth they that are there to take babies away and this storyline only perpetuates that myth.

She is ridiculous, I wish she'd stop keep patting her lad on the head , end up stunting his growth ! Lucky she hasn't got Lola's social worker on her case, the kid would be whisked off into care.
The key episode threads:
Lola/Lexi/Phil/Sharon: This storyline was fatally flawed by the social worker debacle, and to suggest that Phil would ever be regarded as a suitable guardian for a baby is beyond ridiculous.
Joey/Lucy/Lauren/Whitney - honestly, WHO CARES?? Fans of Grange Hill maybe?
Kat's affair: Is this still a plotline? If anyone was actually bothered, surely they're way past caring now?
Max and Tanya's wedding: Not even Max or Tanya can be arsed about this one, so why should the viewers be?
Sayed/Christian: Groundhog Day or what? We all know they're going - please let it be soon!
Conclusion: doesn't leave a lot, does it? No doubt they're building up to their most depressing Christmas episode ever - which in itself will represent an achievement (of sorts).

Excellent summary, Brucie.
No doubt they're building up to their most depressing Christmas episode ever - which in itself will represent an achievement (of sorts).
surely not depressing if it means Derek goes...!!?
They could make it positively uplifting - IF they buried Derek with his son and daughter!

The key episode threads:
Lola/Lexi/Phil/Sharon: This storyline was fatally flawed by the social worker debacle, and to suggest that Phil would ever be regarded as a suitable guardian for a baby is beyond ridiculous.

Good summary but what about poor Derek?:(

Would have been slightly less depressing if we actually saw Derek getting a final good hiding , all we hear is a bit of shouting. Pre watershed broadcast I guess, pity.
FInal good hiding?

mind you if it was so late that she was complaining about sleeping - why was she holding Kamil in her arms wideawake!! surely it should have been bed time for him then?
she had just come back from wherever she had been, so Kamil could not have been in bed

but you cant be complaining about people being up and about instead of in bed.....when you are up and about instead of in bed!!
