Kelly is probably preparing to apply to be on "The Apprentice" candidates there frequently hold their phones in this style, "It's Cool"! - ﹰA greater mystery is when Leanne took the second sleeping pill, her head was on the left hand side of the sofa, but when Simon found her next day it was on the right. Did she turn round in the night? considering she was almost unconscious, it seems unlikely. Or did continuity forget which way round she should be.
who wants to join platt chat :p
asha should listen to yasmeen
How did Summer hold her phone ? I didn?t notice. I?ve seen people holding it flat just slightly under their chin.

He *is* both tiny and puny.....and given his 'storylines'....it has a lot to do with his appearence.
If you were to describe his character traits, past/current storylines, you'd think you were dealing with some sardonic, hard-as-nails, rich, crazy psychopath (that's a hit with all the ladies)
Yet his 'visual' is that of some six-stone, bouffont (comb-over) haired, skinny-jean-wearing, plum-mouthed, 21st-century 'Metrosexual' Man-Boy (whose witty-asides, stretch no further than various eighth-hand internet memes, in both content and originality) armed with the sexual magnetism of a Young Charles Hawtrey.
Whilst not exactly 'Burt Reynolds' myself...I can confidently state that he is a 'Girly-Man' (which would be OK, except that his character isn't meant to be)
The only 'arc' the writers got correct, was the 'hairdresser' gig (and little else)

I'd prefer to hear your analysis of two characters in EastEnders, how Phil is treated as the second coming of Al Capone and the Kray twins while being irresistible to women and Max Branning for, well, everything.
In answer to the point about David, someone said he was a great character, and the answer was that he wasn't due to his physical size, it just seemed to suggest that someone can only be defined in how they look.
I thought this was a 'Coronation Street' forum?
Haven't watched Eastenders in about 15 years?
However, despite both advancing years (and waistlines) at very least Steve McFadden looks (or looked) the part from the moment he (and Ross Kemp) came into the show. I stopped watching it for the very reasons you cited (too much crime, gangsters, etc) but you'd find that any real-life resident hard-man usually attract all the women (wheras the nice guys rarely get the girls) I'll take your word for it, that his character (although pushing 60) is still ruling albert square (but that's more down to lazy scriptwriting and doesn't deter that at very least McFadden looks like a nasty piece of work....thus, the 'part' he's playing)
Shifting back to 'Coronation Street' (if I may?) It appears that in recent years, Gary Windass is the local 'crime-boss/hardman' (Mikey North isn't exactly 'Charles Bronson.....but he has enough of a back-story to warrant such a reputation, army, PTSD, criminal-dealings, etc) and yet once again (similar lazy) scriptwriting undone any (and all) such build-up, by having him put in a coma at the hands of a (quote) "six-stone, bouffont (comb-over) haired, skinny-jean-wearing, plum-mouthed, 21st-century 'Metrosexual' Man-Boy"
Which in turn, ruins the credibilty of both characters to ever convincingly co-exist in their respective roles again?
You may well enjoy the 'character' (taste is subjective, after all) but the fact remains that Jack Shepherd looks like a physical weakling (compared to EVERY other character in the show.....Maureen Lipman would easily take him in a fight) yet he seems to get all the (frankly, inappropriate) storylines that belie his appearence and overall demeanour. I'm sure he's a really nice person in real life (but the crazy, aggressive, street-fighting stud traits are COMPLETELY beyond both his looks and range) and that is why I don't find his character (nor the writing that accompanies such) believable.
Personally, I'd sooner the show have no gangsters, tough-guys, comas, rapes (nor box-ticking agendas) and preferably focus on gentle drama (like it used to) but hey, that's just me (and like I said, taste is subjective) All I ask is that (at very least) he LOOK the part he's playing?
While this might sound harsh, I must admit to feeling practically no sympathy for Peter, this is the Xth time he's been drinking himself (now literally) to death. and its a rinse and repeat storyline. I know we're probably meant to find some sympathy for him and that alcoholism is an illness, but really the storyline has been redone far too often.
Also, I really can't blame Asha and Adi's lack of excitement at Dev's 'big surprise gift', a bloody sign, underwhelming or what.
When did David put Gary in a coma, what did he do to him?
In the boxing ring (of all places) see what I mean about stretching 'character' credibility?

Thanks - I forgot about that, but I suppose it was just possible, David being consumed with rage after being raped. In the Glasgow of my youth it was the little guys you had to watch out for, they all had a chip on their shoulder. A friend of mine was badly beaten by a wee guy who had to jump up off the ground to head butt him in the face.
Alina coming to stay? - Better pick up another toilet roll Tyrone!
Why is Aadi speaking like James Cagney?
I find Aldi to be a most amusing character. Him and Dev dancing for joy was really good
Your point?
The poster meant great as in they really liked the character, nothing at all to do with physical presence.
For Pete's sake I'm not going to argue word definitions here especially as word use is constantly evolving and is subjective.
Someone had an opinion, that's it.
Now I've watched the episode from Friday, it all looks like things might at last be coming apart for Ray. Not before time. However if he's going to be beaten up, I won't put it past him to put the blame on someone in the street. David, Kevin and/or Abi would be the likely ones as he must know that there's no way Roy or Ken would be credible.
did gary arrange the heavies to beat up ray
I do not think it is Gary.
[QUOTE=Perdita;955429]Fair point![/QUOTE
Could David know some heavies? Ray has made a fool of David, that hole in the garden, If i was David I would shove RAy in the hole and get some top soil!!!
Another money lender behind the attack .. in broad daylight in a street where always somebody is looking out of the window or popping into the shop/kebab place.... bet nobody saw anything though..
