did sharon open ian's restaurant for herself and linda to have wine
There was a girl there too when they went in.
I agree the Carmel stuff was a bit lame - pointless. Almost telling us, not showing us - as blunt a plot device as any soliloquy in Shakespear.
Are they going to make Phil last for years?

EastEnders bosses have insisted that Shona McGarty won't be quitting the show to launch a music career.
Speculation was rife today that the actress could move from soap to pop after she performed with Swedish indie singer Axel Jansson at an intimate gig in London this week.
The 24-year-old is thought to have belted out a new track called 'Easy as a Dream' with Jansson, but fans shouldn't get too carried away as EastEnders say that talk of a single release is wide of the mark.
An EastEnders spokesperson told Digital Spy: "Shona has made no secret of her passion for music, but EastEnders is her absolute priority.
"This was a one-off gig, she hasn't recorded a single, and this not going to affect her job in any way."
Reports had speculated that McGarty could even quit the BBC show to focus on music, but it's thought that she's in fact keen to stick around in her role as Whitney Dean.
The EastEnders rep added: "She is very much focused on her future at EastEnders."
McGarty has been part of EastEnders since 2008 and her current storyline sees Whitney caught up in a potentially doomed engagement with Lee Carter.
Fans have already seen the star's musical talents when she sang live on Children In Need in 2012. She also took part in a special show, Friday Night Is EastEnders Night, at the Hackney Empire last year.
Shona McGarty has aired hersinging talent before, shes a lot better than Sonias brood. A quick fling in the charts then musical theatre might be a way to go for her. Enders can be a fickle mistress, now shes ended up with a wooden actor boyfriend and no storyline maybe its time to jump and not be the next Flatboy.
Please dont bring back Terry the minders spawn, she drove me mad with the way she pronounced the word Baby, like a wet weekend.
I still think Nancy hasnt grasped how her temper caused the injury to thingy hat kid, everyone saying its not your fault are ignoring how aggressive she had become pre the incident and how now she seems more worried about herself than the damage done to hat sprog. Anger management and to stop acting the victim might do it, Mick will forgive her but Linda forcing him to do so isnt the gig, but Im guessing Linda will kick off at Nancy st some point in depression and anger.

I don't think that's going to happen. I feel like Mick is being portrayed as being unreasonable and, from what I've read on other sites, most fans agree with that assessment. I'm with you that he's got every right to be angry with Nancy and to find her behaviour unforgivable in the short-term. My only quibble is that I don't think it's in character for him to be quite so nasty about it.
It was good to see Phil's kids rallying around him and I hope he's turned a corner now. I think Phil's decline has been very well written and acted.
OMG Buster and Kathy could it happen :hmm:
There were certainly some heavy hints dropped about the possibility...

I don't like what they are doing to Mick. He would not behave like he is to Nancy. This is so out of character. He loves all of his children. The only decent bit of the episode was Phil again. Steve McFadden is pulling out all the stops. Kathy is becoming more likeable now she is settling back into the square, sort of filling the gaping hole left by Pauline and Pat.

Personally, I still have this great problem in "liking" Kathy, Jane, Ian, Sharon or Phil knowing that they allowed Max to go to jail for life when they knew he wasn't guilty. I think it was reprehensible behaviour and I can never feel any warmth to any of them again. :angry:

I'm afraid my memory for soap character transgressions is almost as short as the characters' themselves. I swore I wouldn't feel any sympathy towards bullying thug Phil for his descent back into drinking and terminal diagnosis, but I find myself sneakily feeling sorry for him against my wishes. :o

I know im in the minority but I really do think Nancy really needs to own what her lack of control of her anger caused in this event. Up to that point she really had been acting like an angry petulant child not getting her own way, yes Lee had screwed her over but phyicaly handling him in a room where the baby was!!! Lee dint just fall on the sprog she made that event happen out of nger. So matter how many of the relatives tell her that it wasnt her fault it clearly was in my book.
Now Mick sees it my way, he is angry and upset and worried sick for his ickle chap, but this moping Nancy wont stop giving it all the woe is me line, Linda then telling him to say sorry to her would of been the last straw, he loves her and will in time forgive and reunite with her, but she is being to demanding of it now making it worse.

I did have that problem with Kathy and was so annoyed and angry when they brought her back from the dead. However if I gloss over that fact and pretend it never happened, I can just about live with it. I quite like Kathy back in the square, however I agree re Jane and Ian they are completely and utterly ruined as characters now. Kathy works better away from them both.

I think Mick may have been a bit nasty with Nancy, but she doesn't seem to take what she did seriously enough.
So, Carmel has become Walford's self appointed family liason officer. Couldn't believe she read JJ's birth certificate before handing it to Denise.
I'm disappointed Jordan's turned out to be such a thoroughly rotten apple. And we've lost super cute JJ too! What will Denise do now?
The Tamwar declaration of love scene was well played and sweet.
I'm liking Louise and Phil's relationship.

Again Steve McFadden pulls it out of the bag. Tina is such an immature half witt. I can't believe I am saying this but Sonia could do better for herself. Nice scenes with Nancy and Tamwar. IMO Mick is now ruined as a character. For me the star of the episode was Diane Parish. So underrated and underused.

I don't think Mick's ruined - at least not permanently - but the writers are certainly doing a disservice to the character at the moment.

A mediocre episode. Nothing stood out really as being good, apart from perhaps the Ronnie and sharon and Nancy and Tamwar scenes. An episode you could really miss and catch up on Thursday.
Where did Sharon get half a million from?????
Babe, you dont mess with Abbi, she tried to cover up Lucys murder when she thought it was Max and half drowned her sister out of pure anger Shes even letting Max rot out of protecting her love for gay pal Ben. I see a whole house of cards falling when she cracks, lou dosent know whats shes messing with.
Nancy all loved up now, but still playing the woe is me re mick, fudge her baby brother its all about her .. yawn

I found it a little uncomfortable in the Vic with Abi and Ben. Even Babe looked shocked by it. I quite liked the duff duff. We were all waiting for Johnny to come in and I thought it was kind of clever intertwining it with the Ben and Abi storyline. Nice scenes with Linda and Ronnie. I think Andy and Linford may be Gay. I think they are going to turn Louise into a mini Janine.
andy looks interested in ronnie so maybe not gay or he is her stalker
I found it a little uncomfortable in the Vic with Abi and Ben.
I agree, I found it extremely uncomfortable. Ben getting Abi half undressed before publicly degrading her was sexual humiliation. Add to that flushing a child's head down the toilet. It was disturbing viewing. And no one stepped in to stop the deranged abuser, not even Abi's uncle... :angry:
The whole thing's completely soured nuJohnny's (rather oddly filmed) first appearance for me. :thumbsdow

Personally I have no feelings about Abi. As far as I'm concerned, she brought it on herself. I mean, getting together with a guy she knows is gay, lying about being pregnant (which she publicly announced at the Vic too), and sleeping with Lee when she knew she might be sick (and now we know she is). I'm sorry, but I just can't feel sorry for her. Not that Ben is innocent, as he knew he was gay yet still went out with Abi, cheating on her and such.

Yes she has made her bed as they might say and is now finding just how uncomfortable it.
I spose in terms of analysis of the scenes, then the repetition of bringing her back to where she announced it to the world to announce her lies is quite nice.
Do you remember analysing plays at school? We'd be underlining the irony and similies if we had the script.
Ben and Abi were both as bad as each other until last night. Both were using each other, lying, cheating and generally being awful human beings. However, the way Ben publicly humiliated and degraded Abi last night went well beyond any punishment she might have deserved. It was extremely distasteful to watch, and frankly I'm disappointed anybody can say that anyone, no matter their behaviour, could have brought that on themselves.

Carmel is really annoying me, she should leave Masood alone, he can make his own mind up about Stacey who along with Kush did betray his daughter plus Arthur isn't her first grandchild, did she forget Zaair :angry:
Why is Stacey making such an effort with Carmel this soon as I thought Martin didn't want Kush involved

They both deserve so much more. Ben is damaged and this is partly Kathy and Phil's fault. IMO he should still be in prison.
A good episode tonight, ( I knew we would get one eventually,) the new Johnny Ted Reilly, has settled well into the role already.
Jay was the star of the episode for me, Jamie is such an underrated and underused actor. The scenes with Linda and Johnny were touching and I enjoyed the scene with Sharon and Johnny. Mick is still bugging the hell out of me and Harry Reid was awful tonight.
Masood is an ass. Bonnie Langford is proving to be an asset to the show.
All in all, I enjoyed tonights 27 minutes.

Thanks for this comment. I read it earlier before I watched the episode and I was debating whether to watch it at all until I read your post. I couldn't stomach an episode concentrating on Ben's self pity like we used to get with Dean. Thank goodness Jay told the three of them in no uncertain terms they were all equally complicit in the mess they'd made.
I'm slightly annoyed that no one told Ben his behaviour in the pub was unacceptable though.

I agree, I like him and thought he did well for what must have been an extremely daunting baptism of fire.

Jay was the star for me too and is turning into a much needed moral compass for the Mitchells - and importantly one who's not afraid to stand up to Phil. It's such a shame Jamie gets so little screen time. Let's hope the new EP puts that right.
Masood is an ass.
"You're too old for me anyway". :angry: That's the second derogatory comment he's made to Carmel. I hope she doesn't go back to him!

Talking of Cora, what's happened to her? Was she brought back a few months ago solely to show how out of touch DTC and the scriptwriters are about how Council housing departments work? It seems a strange thing that she was brought back just so they could display their complete ignorance and then drop the character.

i think the actress had to leave may be ill so storylines were rushed and changed, it would have been better to send her down to tanya or away to oz to lauren

1. She told Ben she didn't like Shirley
2. She stole his diary and wrote entries in it as though they were Ben's, then read them to her friends and refused to apologise.

Paul really is an idiot to go running when Ben clicks his fingers, even after witnessing the latter's horrible display in the Vic. I'm guessing now Ben's got his man he'll be casting his eye towards Johnny again when he notices his return.
The whole square needs to know that Babe bears a huge amount of responsibility for the pregnancy lie. :angry:
Jean was absolutely horrible to poor Kyle. Stacey should have taken her aside and warned her not to cause a public scene if she wanted to attend the meal. It was obvious there was a huge outburst about Kyle on its way.

I found Belinda and Martin funny when Kyle revealed the truth
Stacey should have known a meal in the pub was a bad idea given Jean's hostility towards Kyle when she arrived at the flat
Would Kat and Alfie stop paying the flat rent now after all Stacey has been through, she is only home
I wanted Paul to tell Ben take a running jump, does Ben not realise he did wrong by staying with and lying to Abi :angry:
Jack was going to send Abi back to Tanya, think the break would do her good, Abi needs to tell Dot or anyone that Babe set the lies in motion, Cora is the one who could take on Babe
Would Kat and Alfie stop paying the flat rent now after all Stacey has been through, she is only home
Definitely not, that's ludicrous. Alfie might do it but not Kat.

It feels to me like the Carter clan have barely stopped falling apart since those happy few months before Linda's rape.
Paul really is an idiot wrapped in a the body of a moron. Sheesh, Ben bogwashes a 14 year old and forces a half naked Abi into the bar to humiliate her, yet he still loves Ben...I know love can be blind but this love is ........
New Jonny... yes yes. lets just blame every thing on Mick, Nancy Lee and whats her name never told you what was going on, but oh no, lets torture |Mick while the geezer is already struggling to deal with his baby sons head injuries and Nancy who is still playing the poor me card even though she was with lee the cause of the baby getting hurt.
Jean.... oh boy.. but it was Stacys fault,she set up Kyle for this. Jean was always going to kick off, it came across as well, but it was really a deep hurt for her husband leaving her in the hours of her worst time and creating a new family. But the scene was close to the mark as to wether the Jean we know would react to a individual like K|yle like this.
Louise, you just know that shes now going to make Jays life hell off the back of his GF having a go. Stamd by to be tagged a sex offender Jay comming onto a 14 year old girl... and she will probably play the card to the end.

I wanted Paul to tell Ben take a running jump, does Ben not realise he did wrong by staying with and lying to Abi :angry:
Jack was going to send Abi back to Tanya, think the break would do her good, Abi needs to tell Dot or anyone that Babe set the lies in motion, Cora is the one who could take on Babe
Ben is a clone of his Dad, totally selfish , manipulative ,criminally violent liar. ( don't think I've left anything out):)
Didn't Shirley overhear part of a conversation Abi had with Babe a couple of weeks ago , whilst they were discussing the false pregnancy plot, in which case now would be a good time for her to reveal all.
Wherever Abi goes I hope she stops to think about Max, visits him and gets some wheels in motion for his release.
Speculation and gossip suggests we may see Max again around September time :hmm::thumbsup:

I find that being mentally unhinged is a quality that I really like in my soap character faves as well as cruel and nasty. I like Ben but he needs to get rid of Paul. Ben's murder count is way too low and he needs to get this sorted. He should spend more time with Louise. She looks to be a murderer-in-waiting as well.

Mentally unhinged soap characters can be very entertaining if they're fun and/or charming and most importantly well acted, but I find Ben to be none of those things. I expect that sooner or later your wish that he kills again will be fulfilled. :p

I did enjoy tonight's episode. I am enjoying watching the scenes with Ted O'Reilly as Johnny, the Carter scenes are much better with Johnny in them, it reminds me of how they were when they first arrived. Ollie was the star of the pool scene, lovely and so cute. Babe is a sour faced old cow.
I thought the scenes with Ben and Jay in the garage were spot on and funny and I just love Buster. Thinking about it, I don't think Kat would just cut off Stacey's rent just like that, she would give her notice surely? Kyle has really settled well into the square.
My only criticism of the episode was, we were robbed of any scenes with speedo's on Lee or Johnny. :crying:
It was nice to see happy Carter scenes tonight (until Nancy's surprise announcement anyway).
The repeated comments to the effect that Johnny left a boy and returned a man make me laugh because 1) drawing unnecessary attention to the recast takes me out of the moment (which I highly doubt was the intention!), and 2) Ted O'Reilly looks and acts younger than my memory of Sam Strike in the part.

Mick only learned to swim himself with Ian not long ago
Does Paul also not feel any guilt towards Abi

It wasn't made very clear but I don't think Mick actually got into the water with the rest of the family in the past. He said something to the effect it was the first time he'd done so.
Does Paul also not feel any guilt towards Abi
It seems not, and neither does he appear to care that Ben's reaction to Abi's lies was so outrageous. Mind you, no one who witnessed it appears to think it abnormal either, not even Kathy... :wall:

I fast forwarded through Nancy sobbing about feeling trapped for the hundredth time. Talk about repetitive and boring! It was good to hear that Ollie's "accident" has had a lasting effect on her, but was it really necessary to string out Nancy and Tamwar's leaving storyline for a couple of weeks? They're just not interesting enough characters in my opinion.

I never liked the Mick and Nancy storyline from the start. The least they could do was NOT have the pair make up. In the real world this would not have happened. Nancy would leave because of Mick and this would leave a permanent rift between Linda and Mick. I don't think we always need a happy ending, This is EastEnders not Bore the Nation Street and The Carters are not the Waltons.
However the most pressing question is will we get a Julia's Theme at the end of Friday's episode with Nanwar departing? I think as a tribute to the wonderful Victoria Wood they should play Acorn Antiques version of the EastEnders Theme. "Anyone can break a vase."

You're right. It would have made much more dramatic sense for Nancy to depart under a cloud after Ollie's injury. But then there have been so many online EE viewers complaining about Mick being nasty to Nancy recently (I'm not talking about SoapBoards) that the EE team couldn't win. I found Mick's attitude understandable, if a little over-the-top, personally. A potentially life-changing brain injury caused by recklessness would be extremely hard to come to terms with in my opinion.

An enjoyable episode, the Carters have turned into a cockney version of the Waltons. I would have prefered Mick and Nancy not to have made it up and Nancy leaving because of this, causing a rift between Mick and Linda.
The ending was very EastEnders, what we have come to expect, it is a well oiled machine, it was well done, well acted, but the Julia Theme doesn't get to me as much as it used to.
I did notice the set looked as though it needed attention and has seen better days, especially the end shot of the Tube station. When you compare the new set on Coronation Street you can see the Elstree lot is in bad repair. The new set can't come soon enough.

Whilst Stacey and Martin can't afford the rent on their place - she must be getting some benefits for being sick, and he earns on the market stall..
The whole not affording the rent storyline is a bit hmm. Kyle is working now, they'd probably get some HB help, and didn't think worry about this for the previous 12 months what would happen after?

I felt sorry for Jay - he's tried to finish it and it's all gone horribly wrong.
Amazing how fast the police react though - gangs of them roaming the street hunting down teenagers opinions as if he'd been bonking them all.

I was disappointed in Mick and Johnny refusing to serve Jay and Ben after all Mick went through with Dean I believe he was still letting him in the pub serving him after knowing the truth about the rape :angry:
johnny studying in a pub and is hit on amazing gaydar by your man
really feel sorry for jay but a good storyline well acted by jamie
really feel sorry for jay but a good storyline well acted by jamie
I agree, I'm pleasantly surprised by how well this story has been handled overall, even though it's been so harsh on Jay. I'm very glad Linzi hasn't been painted as a teenage seductress who entrapped Jay (well, except by Ben, but I wouldn't expect anything less from him). She's vulnerable and desperate for someone to love her.
Youngsters sending explicit photos of themselves because they believe they need to in order to win someone's affection - and because "everyone else does it" - is a real problem nowadays. Most of us adults haven't caught up to the fact that the sexual pressures on kids today are far different and more intense than we encountered. I saw a headline earlier today that youngsters as young as eleven are becoming victims of revenge porn FFS! So the talk Sonia, Sharon etc had with the young girls about consent and only doing what they feel comfortable with was very timely.
Jamie Borthwick is playing a blinder as the devastated Jay. Being put on the sex offenders register was cruel because we know exactly what went down and that he's a decent person who's been naive at worst. However, the law's first duty is to protect children, and rightly so.
My biggest complaint about the storyline is that Jay never asked Linzi's age. I understand why they did it that way (so Jay would be innocent and Linzi not painted in a bad light), but it's a massive plot hole as far as I'm concerned.
Also, I can understand your average member of the public thinking Jay's a paedophile, there's no way Ritchie would have used that term. A paedophile is attracted to pre-pubescent children, a fact of which any lawyer would be well aware.
Did the police take any statements from Linzi/Starr and Rebecca as they did from Louise
They definitely would have interviewed Linzi and, since the court accepted Jay was unaware she was underage, she must have told the truth.
So Jay had explicit pictures of a 14 year old on his phone! Yeah for me that over cooked the story line, thats not how I see Jay rolling or indeed he would of deleted them instantly when he knew how old she was, not keep them.
Pleading guilty thou, but then when your brief judges you guilty and walks what chance do you have.

To what end is this storyline? Is he leaving? Is it going to turn out they get together in 5 years and live happily ever after, or is it just trying to show that you should ask people's ages before you agree to have a drink with them and never give them your phone number.

dupe by dope.
FBI coundnt hack an I Phone but Walford Plod hacked Jays dog and bone in ten seconds :ninja:
That iPhone was encrypted, and presumably protected by a strong password that would have taken years to crack. I'm sure Jay's phone had no security and any deleted photos could be restored in minutes by experts. :p
Still, I do agree the whole thing happened unrealistically quickly.
Oh and remind me to not serve Mick in me pub as he is a prosecuted user of TOMS :angel:
What a hypocrite! He pled guilty to soliciting although innocent but wouldn't listen to Jay's explanation of why he did the same... :wall:
It does pose a question about what if someone sends you nasty photos to your phone - what should you do? Go straight to the police and hand yourself in, scrawl nonce or paedo on your own head and wait to be beaten up?

There was plenty of evidence of a relationship and presumably Jay reacting by text to the photos, so it wasn't a case of being sent child pornography out of nowhere.
He pled guilty so was obviously going to be convicted of sex offences, although the judge only gave him a light sentence. He could have fought the charges, although things might have been worse for him if he had.
Linzi is a victim too. I won't repeat what I've said previously but suffice it to say she was desperate for Jay to love her and didn't understand how much trouble the pictures would cause. It's a very sad state of affairs that a fourteen year old feels she has to do that to be loved. :(
The storyline has been quite well thought out so nobody is to blame (well, except for Linzi's awful family).

My only bug a boo with the storyline is that the actresses playing Louise, Rebecca and Linzi all look much older which is the point of Jay thinking she was around his own age :p
I was hoping Shirley and Shirley too would have gone to court to support Jay, I hope we see Shirley support him
I forget about Mick with Rainie covering for Ian, you would think he would understand :angry:
I love the bromance between Jay and Ben, always sticking together
I hope we see Abi support Jay also

My biggest complaint about the storyline is that Jay never asked Linzi's age. I understand why they did it that way (so Jay would be innocent and Linzi not painted in a bad light), but it's a massive plot hole as far as I'm concerned..
True, how could of he gone so far as to not know her age but I think she wouldn't of told him the truth. And he thought she was at least 18 as he's seen her drinking.

Having been young once, I do remember being served in both the corner shop and local pub when I was 14. Not their fault. Girls quite often look a bit older than they are. To be fair the landlady did throw us out when we were celebrating my 16th in there. Had to go and find another pub to drink in then.
Anyone seeing you drink booze in a pub would assume you were old enough back then. These days there's the challenge 25 thing, which means in theory Mick should have been asking for ID for anyone who looks under 25.
For me I suppose the question is what did he ever talk to her about? I know you talk about work or school, or the things you do. The clues might or might not have been there. Had we seen her be evasive about what she did? There's always the 'I'm at college' thing which covers a couple of legal years of year, and the 'I'm at uni' ... but sooner or later you'd slip up and say you needed to revise for your GCSEs.

I don't think he had seen her drinking. I remember her saying no when Jay offered to buy her alcohol. Anyway, underage teens in pubs usually drink if they can get away with it so it's no guarantee of age.
They might do one day!
We can live in hope! :D

This is where this storyline doesn't hold up. They'd been seeing each other for months and not only had they never discussed her age but seemingly nothing about her day-to-day life.
I think the point about Linzi is she liked Jay and just went along with his assumption about her age. We saw that from the very beginning when they met in the cafe. There's no way for us to know if she'd have lied if asked outright, but the story has been written so she's just as much a victim as Jay and I'm glad for that. Too many people are too quick to blame the underage girls for getting men into trouble in similar real-life situations.

Didn't everyone see Linzi when Phil nearly killed her demolishing the car lot why didn't Sonia or Martin recognise her as Rebecca's friend Starr?

did mick or linda say the served her thinking she was older
jay is getting treated worse than dean
jay is getting treated worse than dean
Yes, there's something very wrong with that picture.
Unfortunately, in real life I think the female would get most of the blame in both situations. You only have to read the comments under similar stories in execrable rags like the Daily Fail, or forums where real life cases are discussed, to see that. That's why I keep repeating I'm glad Linzi hasn't been written that way.
Unfortunately, Jay's admitted to being a sex offender but he truly was between a rock and a hard place when he did so. I'm sure the outcome would have been very different if Ritchie hadn't uncharacteristically refused to defend him. :(

It'll definitely affect his life. He'll have to inform the police of his every move and if he's living with a child under eighteen, and risks imprisonment if he doesn't comply. It'll also severely curtail his job prospects, even possibly after he's removed from the register. And of course he'll have to live with the people around him thinking he's a paedophile unless he moves away. Even then there's the risk of discovery.

I am not Sonia's biggest fan but dating Tina who has Peter Pan syndrome and does not want to grow up must be difficult
Sophie seems a bunny boiler turning up at Sonia's house for Tina, how did she know where Tina lived as I thought they got it on in the pub cellar
Why don't Carmel just stop chasing Mas and move on, he is moving on with his dates and getting his job back super fast if only this happened everywhere in real life

What I want to know is, why are all the homosexual characters young? homosexual's have been around for ever and you can "age" with your same sex lover, come on EE if your wanting to have homosexuals so prelavant in EE,
(Syeed & Christian, Tina & Josh, Paul & Ben, JOnny, Sophie, not to mention bisexual Sonia and transgender Kyle!!)
WHy not kill to birds with one stone, cast two older Lesbian Ladies, that way ageism is being addressed too!! But i'm beginning to wonder if EE is struggling for any other issue to deal with so is this a case of "trend""

The only gay regulars at the moment are Paul, Ben, Johnny, Tina and Sonia (though they can't make up their minds whether she's bisexual or a lesbian), and
Paul is leaving soon.
Tina's in her 40s (not old, I know, but not young either).
Leaving guest characters aside, that will leave only four gay characters out of a cast of about fifty, which equates to eight percent. Sounds about right to me.
I agree a gay couple (male or female) who'd been together for decades could be a good addition.

It was awful to witness Kyle's mother treat him so appallingly! I tried to see it from her point of view: she must feel in a way that Kyle has murdered Sarah and would understandably be grief-stricken and angry about that. However, she's had five years to start to come to terms with the fact that Sarah chose to become Kyle because any other option was insupportable to him. Notice every word that came out of her mouth was about how it affected her! :angry:
Still, I like Denise Welch so I hope Kyle's mum gets over her shock and returns to Walford with a more loving attitude.

I don't think Stacey's at all romantically interested in Andy. His feelings are more ambiguous though; he's certainly making a big effort to cosy up to her.
