Yeah my heart went out to billy last night.. I think the change in Honey is very natural.. now she feels she is not under much pressure she is beginning to get on with Petal.. it was cute when she was playing with her after the bath.Quote:

Setting the scene for Bradley and Stacey this week! yah! And great to see Sean back!
I'm liking the May/Rob/Dawn storyline, it's brilliant! Rob is such a prat. He should just clear off and let May and Dawn look after the baby together (I know that sounds quite unlikely, but stranger things have happened). Looking forward to Mickey and Keith finding out about the pregnancy. Mickey's gonna be great with the baby.
I loved Tanya tonight, she was great singing and dancing. It was funny! lol.
I agree with Mickey. He seems to want a kid already, so he'll probably be desperate for one by the end of the storyline.Quote:

Obviously not, she was going to have one, but spent the money on clothes and said that she was going to get one on the NHS.
Spoiler:
The Honey & Billy scenes were great tonight. It was so sad when they handed Petal over at the end. :(
Spoiler:
billys a **** for letting her go, any real man should never put a woman (even if it is the childs mother) over his own child downs or not
but that doesnt mean she or rob is going to go along with itQuote:

I think we were supposed to believe that the children had been singing for half an hour or so in between the two scenes and so it could easily have got dark in that time
A total eclipse, a powercut. But then this is EE so its probably dow to poor continuity:rolleyes:Quote:

I know I've said it isn't up to standard lately, but at least I'm open minded and, I hope, give a valid reason why. The 'I tired of the Fowlers story now' and the picking at everything EE do is pathetic to say the least. These last few episodes have been very good and the Fowler storyline is brilliant and is building up nicely for next week. The Billy and Honey storyline was heartbreaking tonight, poor Billy is torn between his love for his wife and his baby girl. Dawn is being her usual selfish bitch self, which I can do without, but everything else is bubbling along nicely.
I can understand peoples' disappointment in the show lately, but quite honestly, I wonder if some people are actually watching the show when I read some of their views.
Unfortunately EE leaves itself wide open to criticism these day so its easy to criticise it as you have done yourself on occasionsQuote:

Just because the majority of older posters on here have more or less given up on EE of late dosent mean that you are not entitled to have you views. Thats what this board is about but dont criticise me for slagging off what I see as an ailing soap.
I have also criticised other soaps when they are poor too:)
:clap::clap: Round of applause to Perry and Emma.. that scene last night was so heartbreaking, I sobbed like a baby. It was so moving and my heart went out to Billy. Poor guy loves both his wife and child and has to make this choice. Was happy (maybe wrong choice cause I cried) to see Honey took this bad too. She does love Petal but feels she had to give her up as she can't cope.
I love EE of late, I am enjoying the carols mixed with scene (yolande singing silent night on monday was a genius piece of filming) I am really looking forward to the christmas show. I won't be sheding tears for Pauline but I think EE will do her exit justice. Some very strong characters are taken the storyline this year, Pauline, Ian, Sonia and Martin.. say what you like about these but Nathalie can act and has proven this time and time again
I completly agree, it was really well done at the end. When you had the carols by the children in the background then Billy and Honey saying goodbye. It was really sad and really well acted. I have even started to quite like the dawn story even though she is doing my head in a bit at the minute, even though they are new characters you really feel for May.Quote:

I quiet liked Fowler storyline.. I love when pauline got all high and mighty about the bench and Yolande said it was for her when they thought she had a brain tumour and she was like "whatever"... she really didn't know what to say!!!!Quote:

The damage looked minimal for what was supposed to have been a huge house fire. Instead it looked like the fire was about the size of a cereal packet, and could have been put out by breathing on it. I mean apart from the blackened walls, the curtains are in perfectly good order, as was her sofa (despite having a cover over it), and pictures dotted around the house aren't smoke damaged. Why is nothing damaged by all the water the firefighters used to put it out? You would expect the wallpaper to be peeling off because of damp plaster. That's just the tip of the iceberg though. The house would be uninhabitable until well after Christmas while it is dried out using industrial heaters, and electrics and gas are sorted out (they shouldn't be on at all as the fire brigade would disconnect them until further notice). Stuff like armchairs, carpets and sofas would be thrown out, as would other material possessions which are not damp-proof.
That's not slagging EE off for the sake of it, it is highlighting bad, bad continuity.

I don't get how any parent can want rid of a child on the grounds of a disability.
A great episode last night. The Billy/Honey scenes were so emotional! It must have been so hard for Billy, after all, he had to choose between Honey and Petal...he knew that Honey didn't want Petal so he couldn't have them both. It was really sad, but great acting from both actors once again.
Spoiler:
Right, another moan. :rolleyes:
How did Gary and Minty move Arthur's bench at the drop of a hat? These things are securely chained to the ground or encased in concrete foundations so they aren't stolen, otherwise the Walford yobs would have stolen it, and probably smashed it up and burned it.
You mean like the Christmas tree?Quote:

What a cracker of an episode tonight. Really enjoyed that.
Poor Stacey, she did not deerve allthis from radley, he is just plain mean.:angry:
She aborted her child for him, ungratefull git! (can I say this?)
and she wanted the child so much, even if bradley didnt help, dot and jim would have stuck by her then theres max,tanya,(if she allowed them), sean, jean mo charlie
Lol. I think so. :)Quote:

At least Bradley finally spoke some truth (although i'm sure a lot of it was lies. I reckon he does care about Stacey, or at least has done in the past).
Sad for their relationship. It was special.
Stacey: "Bradley, I love you !!!"
Bradley: " Tough"
OMG talking about a personality transplant, holy poo poo!!!
I wanted to wring Paulines neck, what the heck was she trying to prove wrecking the veg stall ?????????????
Then banging Joe over the head with a picture frame,, I tell ya I will be glad to see the end of that whiney old moo !!!:moonie:
I'm just watching on bbc3 now, and at the moment, I can hardly blame Bradley for dumping Stacey - behaving like that, I'm sorry, but thats no way for her to behave. Ok so Bradley should have told her about the party, but there was no need for her to go there, seemingly with just intentions of showing him up...
Lydia was a bit harsh, but Stacey seemed to go with only the wrong intentions.
Brilliant episode tonight.. However I'm not happy with Bradley/Stacey storyline at the moment..
Christmas trees moan? I will have to put my ear next to our tree and see if it moans!Quote:

Also, Pauline can't sell Martin's stall by herself. She needs his consent as well, as the ownership is split down the middle (when Pete died, Ian and Mark split it, but Ian decided to pursue other things so sold it to his Aunty Pauline (and Arthur)).
Enjoyed the scenes tonight with Pauline and Joe. :cool:
It was a plate.Quote:
Then banging Joe over the head with a picture frame...
No I meant that a) There would never be a Christmas tree in a real square b) If there was, there would be a big fence round it to stop the vandals and the baubles couldn't be hung so low as they would be stolen. They would probably also need permission to set-up the stage and food/drink from the council. At the end of the day it's a soap and the bench isn't screwed down, the baubles are hung low and the tree has no fence. I'm fine with that :DQuote:

It was the first time I'd watched for about 6 months aswell. I'm in two minds about trying to watch the Xmas episodes...Quote:

I just wanted Joe to pick up the photo of Lou Beale :p
Although I hated what happened with Bradley and Stacey it was great drama and I loved watching every minute of it! Fantastically acted!
I felt like I couldn't connect with any of the characters anymore - although I did feel for Billy with the whole Petal situation. When he started smashing up the cot, I could certainly envisage something like that happening.Quote:

I think I may just stick with the films and family dinner on Xmas day lol
I don't care anything for Billy, especially not with what I have seen and read of this story. Just a flash in the pan it seems; they got rid of Petal for convenience.Quote:

Hitting him with the plate was an instant reference to the famous moment where Pauline thwacked Arthur with the frying pan.
One day, Mr Benn went into the Fowler house. He met Pauline Fowler, who hit him over the head with a chunk of porcelain.
