Bye bye Flatboy :)
I really thought it was going to be Jack that carps it as he is fresh back and not a main bod anymore.
Ian & Jane have become unsalvagble, just vile. Its ok to assult a kid to save your killer kid and body dumping spouse.
Questions up in the air..Phil had injuries proving he was driving. Max ?
But I wish the actor who played Arthur all the best in the catering industry.

I wish Jane had just reported Bobby. That said, why on earth have the police not listened to Max? Shouting out about Bobby didn't do any good at all!
So irresponsible of Ian sending Bobby to boarding school too. What if he hurts someone there?!

Maybe it's a new spinoff planned? Murder at St trinians?
Problem is when the Who Killed Lucy storlyine gets awards for being best storyline it won´t convince TPTB that maybe it was not such a good storyline in the end
sharon will tell jack who again will keep quiet to protect bobby that's probably what will happen
Thank goodness Shirley knows the truth about Dean at last. It's been a loooong time coming.
Very nice, layered proposal scene between Honey and Billy, and Ronnie and Jack.
I'm confused that nobody appears to have noticed Stacy acting strangely. Ignoring people and constantly staring into space doesn't seem like normal behaviour for even the most exhausted of new mothers.
les saying the green dress billy wore was nice was funny
does whitney serve any purpose anymore no family or mates there, lee isn't into her and now she eyeing up mick

A good start to the week. Les had the line of the episode admiring Billy's dress, 'That's not too bad.' :D
I think the Mick and Jack friendship could be a good thing for 2016. Kat and Alfie can fly off back to Spain, they are adding nothing to the show. Micks stag was very good and Dickie Ticker was back. :cheer:
A great duff duff. Tomorrows episode should be good.

It has dragged on far too long and the fact most of the Square knows Bobby is the killer not Max and do nothing even Max's own daughter Lauren and grand nephew Liam is ludicrous
I enjoyed tonight's episode
I agree Jack and Mick as friends could be good as long as Jack don't put the moves on Linda, he does like blondes :p
I liked Alfie confiding in Phil and Ian about his tumour

Is there a way out for the Bobby story? I suspect short of a shower scene a la Dallas, no.
Umm a boarding school would be a huge emotional strain on a kid with violent eanger issues, it wouldnt end well. But then the Beales dont care about anyone else.
When did Sharon agree not to go to the Police?
Whit getting her older man proclivity back, run Mick run, she will get all love sick and delusional again.
Please Alfie down a well someone, the guy just winds me up with twisted selfish ethics an inability to tell the truth.

It was also very convenient that apparently Ian knows the head of a boarding school who has never been mentioned before who can fit Bobby in during the middle of the academic year with, presumably, no questions asked as to the urgency of this request.
A young offenders institute would have provided the boundaries and discipline Ian was seeking plus the important psychiatric help for the lad . :wall:

Tonight was indeed a most powerful episode. Waaay better than the xmas special, I thought. I can't say how good it felt for me to see Dean finally have his comeuppance at long last, and for poor Linda to get her justice and for Dean to admit to her face what he did. I can't wait for the New Years special!
Elaine annoyed me to no end. I get that she wanted vengeance for Linda, and to stop Dean from hurting anyone else, but what she did was stupid, full-stop. And if she stopped and thought for a second, she would know that she was actually putting Mick in danger from the police by sending him to face Dean. Not to mention putting the whole prosecution at risk!
Shirley's reaction surprised me, but at the same time I understood a little. She spent nearly a year defending Dean, believing him to be innocent, only to have it all blow up in her face by catching him in the act. After realising that, it's no surprise she went a little crazy. I suppose in a way she might also think that she was doing Dean a favour by killing him; because she would be saving him from going to prison, and suffering the deserved hardship he would endure there.
Shirley's dad Stan once said he invested a lot in Dean. Boy, that investment was sure wasted!

Did Linda go to the flat to tell Shirley or fear Shirley was going to let him run away?

Shirley's dad Stan once said he invested a lot in Dean. Boy, that investment was surely wasted[ quote]
I not sure about Stan & Deans relationship-
In general giving a child too much of the
wrong sort of attention (spoiling without
responsibilty) does lead to people turning
out like Dean.
Children should be encouraged to make
the most of their abilities/talents but not
at the expense of thinking rules dont apply to
them and they can do.as they wish without
comeback!!
AT LAST DEAN ADMITS TO RAPING LINDA! :cheer:
I'm so glad it was made clear the vile scumbag has known exactly what he did all along. :angry:
Powerful episode for me ...
Agreed. :)
...matt and rita's acting was excellent
Yes, they were both very good. No one could accuse Matt of not giving it his all because he went a very strange colour at one point. :D
buster and shirley should be grovelling saying sorry to linda
Shirley really got on my nerves. I understand she's in shock but she's as much guilty of playing the victim as Dean in my opinion (and I'm including the attempted drowning in that).
At least Buster wasted no time in apologising (although he was speaking to Mick not Linda). They both need to crawl over hot coals to beg Linda's forgiveness. :wall:
For some reason, Shirley appeared with a carrier bag in between her scenes with Dean and seeing Mick and Buster outside the pub. Obviously an urgent shopping trip.
You weren't paying full attention, MoMo! I think Shirley went to the Minute Mart to buy supplies to run away with Dean. However, it wasn't clear to me whether she was just buying time or if she changed her mind while out.

Well what to say about the last EE of 2015? EE is like the children's nursery rhyme, 'When it's good, it's very, very good and when it's bad it is horrid.'
Tuesday's episode was what EE is all about, I did feel sympathy with Roxy but I don't blame Ronnie for ignoring her. Some great performances from Kellie, Matt, Linda, Rita and Karl, although it did not move me to tears. The only niggle I had was the music near the end. It was not needed, it is not Hollyoaks or an Australian continuing drama. (And that is not a dig at Oaks, as it is rather good at the mo) but that sort of thing does not work on EE. Yes to the occasional use of Julia's theme (not in this instance obviously) the ending would have been better not having a duff duff but just bringing the theme tune in gradually as the credits rolled.
No EE until Friday now. Can't wait for the double bill on New Years day. Will EE be able to keep this standard up into 2016, I very much doubt it????? but what away to end 2015. :cheer::cheer::cheer:

Tina "Roxy is at the Police calling Dean a rapist" No Tina that implies hear say this was an actual attempted sexual assault. But thats in character for the loyal sister who didn't believe Lynda.
So Shirley attempts to drown another child in a bath! That could of made Roxy a suspect as well.
Elaine is one twisted interfering biddy.
Buster as pointed out in thread didnt appologise to Linda who was tagged with alsorts of insults when he took Deans side.
Jack a man who spawned a child with Roxy encouraging Ronnie to ignore the desperate door knocking,thats going to come back and bite him on the bum.

I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought that because I was wondering if I'd misinterpreted Buster aiming the apology solely at Mick. There's still a long way to go if DTC wants to redeem Shirley and Buster for the way they harassed and bullied Linda.
At least now Linda's totally vindicated which was my greatest wish for this storyline.

No you were spot on, I re-watched it, Buster addresses Mick only, then Mick kills any chance of Linda kicking off by smuffering her with a hug. Clever scripting as I surmise Mick is Busters new best mate but Linda is the cause of Deans violations in his mind.

not excusing Buster but he wasn't on the Square at the time of Dean raping Linda? he turned up after and got to hear people after the event?
now don't ask how I know......
but the most effective way, and maybe the only way to drown someone in a bath is to pull their ankle up and out of the water.
so Shirley pushing Dean under from the head/shoulders was never going to work

Yeah, but a vacuum is too large and heavy. It might not even fit in the bath. In every suicide I've seen on tv, people usually get a toaster to electrocute themselves in the bath with.

A couple of bits of info-
There used to be a saying that -farmers
had a high rate of suicide because there
are always guns &ropes on a farm!!
Lady Isobel Barnett* committed suicide
when she was charged and found guilty
of shop lifting in the village store .
She threw / caused an electric bar ?? fire to
fall in the bath!
* was on whats my line!

But I have to ask thou, who has a toaster next to their bog and bath? :cartman: ?

I was 2 at the time, sooo...no.
I really enjoyed tonight's episodes. Very tense scenes at the lake, a lovely ending for Mick and Linda, and Lucas is back! :eek:
However, I have a few quibbles (when do I not? :p):
the rape storyline is now over so I doubt we're going to see Shirley apologise to Linda. I feel quite angry about that because her campaign of harassment greatly exacerbated Linda's distress after the rape. This all appears to have been forgotten about... :wall: (I'm delighted however that Linda ordered Shirley to attend the wedding rather than pleading with her to do so, which is what I thought was about to happen);
in my opinion it's a total copout that Dean won't be done for the attempted murders of Shirley and Mick as well as the attempted rape (and possibly Linda's rape?) - no doubt so he can be brought back in a few years;
when Kat and Alfie were talking in the hotel, Kat remarked "This hall's bigger than our bar in Spain". Very poor writing! She'd have said "This hall's bigger than [insert bar name here]" since she was only talking to Alfie and didn't need to explain they had a bar in Spain. (I know this is a minor quibble but it really irritated me. :D)
I've just had a horrible thought. Roxy's run off because she thought Dean would never get caught, but now he has. If she's gone, and the court has to call her up to testify against Dean, does that mean he has a chance of being released...again?!

Why couldn't Mick take a suit off Ian, Alfie or Lee even though he looked well in Linda's bed coat which he has worn quite a lot since he came into the show

I guess, though I doubt it will be anytime soon. Matt has said the role of Dean, while exciting for him to develop his acting skills, has left him emotionally drained. So it's doubtful he'll be back anytime soon.

I am in two minds about the episodes tonight. They were very watchable, but at times ott and cheesey.

He'll soon change his mind if the work isn't there (although I know he was reasonably successful last time he left EE). Plus, Dean could be brought back rehabilitated after several years in prison. In reality, that's not something that's likely to happen to a person like him who lacks a conscience, but this is EE where anything's possible.

I recall they did a similiar thing with Libby's dad. He tried to murder her when she was little, then after several years in prison getting psychiatric treatment, he came back reformed, only to end up getting murdered by Lucas.

I think Dean will confess himself in the end, then he could return in the future whether he's in jail or if he gets out and wants to make amends (Which is almost impossible really).

I think that's likely to happen. Shirley could have mentioned the confession to the police at the lakeside.
As an aside, I can't imagine the police wouldn't really have allowed them go indoors to the warmth to take their statements.

Yes. I wonder if he's going to be brought back with a new head?

I'd like to see Glenda return. She's one of those characters I find entertaining even though I'd like to strangle her. She and Archie were certainly well suited. Maybe she could get together with Gavin and form the ultimate villainous power couple.

Well -if Gavin appeared a bit more often-
would be a start.
Glenda would be more matched to a villain than
Kathy!!:D
I hope Gavin is "really" villainous when all
is revealed and its not just been hype!

I read Paul Nicholas was committed to other work when he signed on to play Gavin, which is why he's only been seen briefly so far. Hopefully, when his other work is done, he'll be able to commit to EE full time - until he's inevitably killed off! :D
As far as the hype goes, the character has an awful lot to live up to after DTC's boasting. However, they've made a good start by having Gavin convince Sharon he cares for her and helping him to escape, even after he initially made it clear he had nothing but disdain for her (plus Phil's kidnap of course!). That took some serious cunning and powers of persuasion.

I'm still holding out faint hope Dean will plead guilty if he can't afford the lawyer he wants.
Why did DTC and colleagues decide to name Stacey's baby after an iconic character if he's not even related to the original Arthur Fowler? It makes me suspect Stacey has made a mistake, even though it's unlikely the hospital would have. Still, DTC does like his improbable twists...

The guy tried to drown his mother, and then had the audacity to call her, to get her to get him a good lawyer. The notion that he would suddenly grow a conscience and confess seems highly improbable now. He's so deluded with his innocence, I bet he could kill Shirley right in front of a million witnesses, and still say it weren't his fault.
Well, it's not unusual for a guy to want to name his kid after his late father, and Stacey probably didn't want to put up too much of a fuss at the time in case Martin started suspecting the truth.

A good start to the week. We have foreigners (Northerner's) in Albert Square. :rotfl:
Nice to see Mo and Charlie again. How could Fat Elvis Dump Maureen?
Excellent scenes in prison with Dean, Buster and Shirley and loving the Nanwar scenes. All in all a good episode.

I agree Dean won't accept responsibility for his crimes any time soon (if ever).
Sorry, I didn't make it clear that I meant he might plead guilty to get a lesser sentence given the evidence against him. A solicitor would probably advise him to do so, and if Dean can't get hold of money and has to accept a duty solicitor, he might feel the latter would be unable to mount a decent enough defence to get him off. Hence, Dean might possibly plead guilty in order to get as short a sentence as possible.
That was what I meant anyway; I've no idea if it'll happen that way or if Dean would ever be pragmatic enough to plead guilty when he doesn't believe he is.

I totally understand Martin wanting to name his son after his father. What I was questioning was DTC's thinking in deciding to give a baby not related to Martin a name so steeped in EE history.

I would love for Stacey to be wrong and have little Arthur be Martin's baby, even with her postpartum psychosis I'm finding it hard to have sympathy for her and no surprise Kyle is her brother as suspected
I was hoping for Shirley to have a good conversation with Dean and ask him why he did the rape and attempted rape and try and get him to confess
Buster pretty much confirmed he did suspect Dean had raped Linda but instead choose to side with Dean :angry:
I guess with Linda and Mick on honeymoon we wont see Linda get an apology from Shirley and Buster, is Ollie gone with them?

Shirley and Buster are nowhere near redeemed in my eyes, even if she is back running the pub as if butter wouldn't melt. :angry:
Their reactions to the rape revelation - attempted drowning and threats - don't impress me. Obviously I can understand their disgust and anger, but haven't they learned that yet more threats and violence aren't the answer? Basically it's been more of the same from Shirley and Buster, except this time their ire is directed at Dean instead of Linda. Maybe it was too much to hope they'd learn something from the experience...:wall:
As you say tammyy2j, a meaningful conversation in the prison was very much needed.

Sorry, this is going back a bit in time, but I thought it was of some interest if anyone hasn't seen it.
The following is an exchange in next week's Radio Times letters column. As you can see, the viewer who wrote in expresses the views many of us made at the time, while the BBC do not answer the question at all.
Letter: "I was appalled by the Eastenders plotline about Cora's homelessness, which painted council officials as uninterested and enjoying a Christmas lunch while others suffer - and then, after one protest, were able to produce a home for her immediately like a rabbit out of a hat. It was irresponsible, and disrespectful both to those looking for a home and to cash-strapped councils doing their best at times of massive cuts."
BBC response: "This episode was part of a long running storyline involving Cora Cross. Eastenders has a long history of reflecting social issues but, being a drama, the outcomes for characters can vary and the main point of Cora's story was her family and friends rallying round and doing everything they could to help find a home for Christmas."
So no real answer at all then.
The BBC's PR team has obviously been taking lessons from politicians on how to use the maximum number of words to say absolutely nothing. :wall:

A good episode again tonight. WE are being spoilt. When does the real EastEnders return? :) For me June Whitfield was the stand out performer tonight, but Jessie and Lacey were very good and the introduction of the character Kyle was interesting . Daran Little's script was very good, my only niggle was, did we need to have Stacey's storyline along with Kats tonight, in the same episode? It did seem a bit of an over load and perhaps we lose some of the impact of both storylines?

Agreed about June Whitfield. I actually started bawling when she told the story of her poor dead babies - not something that happens to me very often when watching a soap!
I think Lacey Turner is playing a blinder with the post-partum psychosis storyline. I find her thoroughly convincing and sympathetic even though I haven't liked the character much recently. She's got good chemistry with Kyle (who I think has made a very good start), and I hope he can help her through her illness. And there's two more Slater sisters waiting in the wings!
It was indeed an excellent script by Daran Little. I always enjoy his episodes.

A fairly good episode, but not brilliant. Last Nights was far better and had a better script.
The positives first:
Nice scenes with Tamwar and Nancy and I liked the scene with Dot and Stacey in the church. (It comes to something when we have more church scenes in EastEnders than in Emmerdale. :D ) Rakhee Thakrar, Jessie Wallace and Lacey Turner knocked it out of the park tonight.
The negatives:
Mo (Laila Morse) and Charlie, (Derek Martin) were appallingly bad. This episode should have been a three hander between Kat, Mo and Charlie, but without being unkind, I suspect DTC knew Laila and Derek were not up to the mark. Sad as it could have been outstanding. There was far, far too much going on, too many storylines, what with shab's and Kush, Stacey and Dot and then the Slaters including Alfie. I am not interested in the Alfie storyline to be honest. This could have been an outstanding episode and if the likes of Diederick Santer had still been Executive Producer, it would have been.

Is Tamwar planning on proposing as he is very keen for Nancy to learn more about his religion
I too like Kyle so far
Now we know why Kat's secret son and Stacey's psychosis storylines are playing out together: to feed into Stacey's paranoia about Arthur.
Arthur sleeps a lot.
I noticed that too lol. Newborn babies do sleep most of the time, but they're very lucky with the baby (or more likely babies) playing him. Maybe being held so close to Lacey the whole time helps.
Rakhee Thakrar, Jessie Wallace and Lacey Turner knocked it out of the park tonight.
They did. I'm especially impressed with Lacey, who portrays vulnerability so convincingly. You wouldn't think she had it in her if you'd only seen her play snarling Stacy.
Mo (Laila Morse) and Charlie, (Derek Martin) were appallingly bad.
I didn't think they were quite that bad lol. I'm sad to see Charlie go but I wouldn't be averse to never seeing Mo again.
I am not interested in the Alfie storyline to be honest.
Me neither. I wish he'd hurry up and die already! :D
Is Tamwar planning on proposing as he is very keen for Nancy to learn more about his religion
I'm finding Tamwar a bit pushy which I didn't expect from him. He must be thinking that he and Nancy have a future. I wonder if he would want to marry a non-Muslim?

Blood clots cause most heart attacks. Aspirin helps prevent heart attack by changing how the blood clots. It slows clotting and helps prevent blood clots. It can also decrease the size of a forming clot. So it can help. But I'm not sure how many people have aspirin at home now. I would think most people keep paracetemol as a pain killer rather than aspirin these days.
Mo said the operator said the ambulance would take 10 minutes.

It's clever how several storyline strands have been timed to collide in order to fuel Stacey's paranoia. It was a shock seeing Charlie again in the taxi! :eek:
I was watching baby Arthur closely during the two episodes and it's now obvious to me that it's a very lifelike fake baby in the sling and a real baby at other times.
An aspirin for a heart attack???
Years ago I saw a doctor on a medical documentary advise that everyone should keep soluble aspirin to hand to put one under the tongue of someone having a suspected heart attack. It's possible doing that could buy enough time to save someone's life. I've kept a packet in my handbag since, although I've luckily never had to use it. I think parkerman's correct that very few people have aspirin in the house these days.
If aspirin is easily available and you know you are not allergic to it, slowly chew and then swallow an adult-sized tablet (300mg) while you are waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
The aspirin will help to thin your blood and restore blood supply to your heart.
Taken from: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Heart-attack/Pages/Symptoms.aspx
An aspirin for a heart attack???
Aspirin slows the blood's clotting action by reducing the clumping of platelets. Platelets are cells that clump together and help to form blood clots. Aspirin keeps platelets from clumping together, thus helping to prevent or reduce blood clots.
During a heart attack blood clots form in an already narrowed artery and block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. When taken during a heart attack, aspirin slows clotting and decreases the size of the blood clot that is forming.
After a heart attack Aspirin can help prevent a second heart attack. Taken daily, Aspirin's anti-clotting action helps prevent a first or second heart attack. The same applies to strokes. My friend gave her husband an aspirin when he showed signs of a heart attack and the doctor and ambulance crew told her that it probably saved his life.

if you have a stomach ulcer say, the aspirin can aggrevate it - so whilst they dont cause digestive problems, people with problems already would avoid just because it would be uncomfortable?

Well, that is close to 10 mins. When I'm talking to someone in an emergency, I usually don't bother giving them an "exact" estimation of how long something will be, and just tell them the nearest average time.
if you have a stomach ulcer say, the aspirin can aggrevate it - so whilst they dont cause digestive problems, people with problems already would avoid just because it would be uncomfortable?
You can take another pill to protect the stomach, my mother-in-law stopped her daily aspirin because of upset stomach and then had a severe stroke, which she probably would not had suffered if she had spoken to the doctor about her stomach problem :(

I really thought Stacey was going to fall! :eek:
well done martin but now stacey needs help, proper help!
Has he called for medical help? I thought he must have from the guilty looks, but I can only remember him calling the police when she was missing. It doesn't make sense that he wouldn't seek urgent help. He must know where Stacey keeps her mental health team contact details so I'm assuming he's either made a call off screen he's just waiting for her to fall asleep. :hmm:
These past few episodes set all on one day have been excellent, but I'm ready for the day to end now.

A good episode to start the week, The way Belinda was dressed was way ott even for her. Carli Norris is a talented actor but I would have much prefered to have had Lynn or Little Mo come back.
The only real niggle with the episode was the fact we lost some of the momentum from Thursday, waiting three days for the next episode was a shame. Nice scenes with Patrick and Billy.
I think 2016 could be the year Phil dies and perhaps Grant will return for this???

Rakhee who plays Shabnam imo is one of the few actors in soap, who makes it so natural and effortless, its as though she is not acting if you know what I mean. The only other actor in EE that had this skill was Lindsey Coulson and in CS Alison King. Rakhee is simply the best actor in soapland right now by a country mile.

I think there's little chance of Phil being killed off. Even if Steve McFadden decided to leave permanently, I'm sure they'd leave the door open in case he changed his mind.
Perhaps a near death experience will drastically change Phil for the better? We can only hope...

I agree about Rakhee Thakrar. Like Lindsay Coulson, she can show emotions bubbling away under the surface with just a look in the eye.

I don't think Martin's called for help with Stacey. He called the police, but he asked someone to call them back after Stacey had been found, to tell them. He hasn't called anyone yet about her mental health. I'm not sure, but I think Martin's one of those people who hides behind the truth, and doesn't see the problems that are right there. He probably thinks he can deal with Stacey and her mentality, and that she'll get better in time. And I'm sorry, but that proves without a shadow of a doubt that Martin is a complete moron! What Stacey did, he should be calling the doctors right now! She was still blabbering about God and everything when he brought her home, which proves how disturbed she is.

I'd like to think that if a vulnerable person was reported missing and was found that it wouldn't be the end of it, but suspect budgets are such that they will not have even assisted in a search.
But if the upshot of this story is that Kush and Shabs get to look after the baby (at least for a while) then Stacey as to be completely unfit and so does Martin. Stacey is now and worryingly Martin is being a complete pillock.

I was aghast at the thought of Shabnam and Kush taking Arthur from Martin while Stacey's incapacitated. However, he doesn't seem capable of caring for a baby if he's trying to delude himself Stacey's psychosis isn't happening. :wall:

To be honest, I would feel totally overwhelmed if I was in Martin´s shoes .. I hope he will go and seek help very soon for all of them
Although Martin probably wouldn't have expected something as extreme as what's happened, he was well aware Stacey was off her meds and that he needed to be on the alert for a decline in her mental health. This makes his inaction more inexplicable to me than someone for whom psychosis has come out of nowhere.

But until you have seen what a decline in mental health can be like, it can be difficult to imagine just how far the mental health will decline and what the patient is going to do?

Martin has zero understanding of mental illness. He should of called 999 explained off meds new mother and an ambulance would of been sent. He seems ashamed of her now, hope she boots him the plank.

A great script from Daran Little tonight. Jessie was superb, if I had to be slightly critical in the odd place Jessie was slightly ott, but she is forgiven, you could feel her pain and Shane Richie, stepped up to the mark tonight, not usually an Alfie fan (well not since his second stint) but both Alfie and Kat were brilliant. For me yet again the stand out performer has to be shabnam. Rakhee makes it look so easy and effortless without having to try. Flawless.
I wonder how long EE's good form will continue? Hopefully a while longer. :hmm:
But until you have seen what a decline in mental health can be like, it can be difficult to imagine just how far the mental health will decline and what the patient is going to do?
Martin has accused Stacy of having an episode at least once since she's been off her meds when in fact she was just having a strop if I recall. It's been made crystal clear he's not happy she stopped taking the medication and is paranoid about her mental health. He's even been shown researching bipolar.
Now she's babbling incoherently about Arthur being the son of God, seeing angels and demons, and nearly falling off rooftops with the baby, and Martin is pretending she's OK and leaving her alone with him. Martin would have to be an imbecile to not recognise that as a very severe decline in mental health, and that she's a danger to Arthur and herself. He might not be the sharpest tool in the box but he's not stupid, and it's totally unbelievable and highly frustrating to me that he wouldn't have sought help straight away.
Give me a break DTC!!! :wall:
I miss a lot of EE so was not aware of Martin´s knowledge about Stacey´s illnes. But I still think that even with a lot of research into conditions it can still feel overwhelming when actually confronted with it :(
It must be an unimaginably overwhelming situation to be in and I can understand Martin not wanting to scare Stacey even more than she is already. Why doesn't he at least seek the advice of someone who will know what to do, and make sure she's not left alone with Arthur in the meantime? Surely it must have occurred to him that she's a danger to the baby as well as to herself?
I think I might take a break from EE until this is resolved. I've just been reading next week's Radio Times, and Stacey still hasn't received help by the end of next week even though by that time it's Charlie's funeral and her condition is openly known.Post partum psychosis is thankfully very rare and mothers suffering the condition who kill their babies is even rarer, but we've all seen the headlines in the news (like the recent one where a young mother in Bristol jumped off a cliff with her newborn baby :(). I'm finding it too distressing and frustrating to watch the people around Stacey doing nothing, even if it is realistic. They don't need to have any knowledge of post partum psychosis to know something is very, very wrong.

Good point! My daughter had a baby nearly exactly a year ago and stayed with me the first week after the birth. We had at least two visits from professionals (a midwife and possibly a health visitor?) during that time and my daughter has no health or other problems. Stacey is known to be bipolar and off her meds, so surely they'd be keeping a very close eye on her?

Can't argue with that. He's definitely had his slimy moments in EE. Though I can understand some of his motives with protecting Bobby. He's just too blind to the danger that Bobby represents, and all the protecting he's done for him has gone too far. If the truth comes out now, not only will he lose Bobby, but he'll lose everything else including his and Jane's freedom.
Oh, I'm so sick to death of the Bobby storyline! I mean, I suspected that the truth wouldn't come out at Xmas, as that seems to be EE's gimmick now, and Jake Wood (Max) isn't due back for several months yet, but it's gone on way too long now. I can't believe they're keeping it going as long as they have.

Just caught up on last week's episodes.
Thursday's was another tour de force by writer Daran Little. The scenes between Sharon & Phil, Sharon & Ian, and Shabnam and Kush were all excellent. I'm so glad Sharon's stopped being Phil's doormat, but is it a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire if she's going to allow herself (and Denny) to get closer to Gavin? :searchme:
Good on Shabnam for making Kush see he wants to be a father to Arthur!
I'm really annoyed with myself for getting behind in my viewing so that Peggy's appearance and the news of her terminal cancer were spoiled for me! :angry:
Friday's episode belonged to Steve McFadden, who proved yet again why he's underrated as Phil Mitchell. Did I detect the way Phil's story is going to develop in Kathy's words to Ben that his father isn't really a thug deep down? Interesting take on Phil and it certainly fits in with the fact that he used to be a much nicer guy. Does that side of Phil even exist any more, and will his loved ones care even if it does? :hmm:

From what I remember, the marriage between Kathy and Phil was over in name (not sure if they had an actual divorce) when Grant had a fling with Kathy. Phil then tried to get back with Kathy, but Grant took great delight in telling him about him and Kathy and said it was pay back for Phil and Sharon.

I just can't watch the Stacey scenes any more because I'm finding everyone ignoring her distress too uncomfortable. I'm not sure if I'll watch tomorrow's episode since it sounds like she features heavily.
Apart from that it was a good episode tonight, especially the ruckus Phil caused in the pub. I enjoyed Sharon, Shirley and Kathy - the wronged wives - joining forces to try to sort him out. Sharon's now gone and walked straight into the clutches of her "loving" father... :eek:

So agree.
I have mental health issues and had to leave my long term partner as she was incapable of understanding it, just kept getting angry etc telling me to just get over it.
Martin knows her condition knows shes off meds but first off he was obliviously thick now hes in this weird denial that she dosent need help and worse still after climbing on the roof she is still safe to care for the baby unsupervised.
I shes sectioned now and put back on meds even if that stops feeding. The kid needs stacy as all hells going to follow over paturnity.
As for Mo the child snatcher, the s/l is horriblely dark.
Well done EE, great eps and acting.

Sorry to hear that, Splashy.
I have mental health problems too, which is why I'm finding Stacey's illness and Martin's attitude so difficult to watch. Her distress feels a bit too close to home to me. Kudos to Lacey Turner for portraying Stacey's state of mind so realistically.
