Garry, Minty, Keith and now Bert. It's supposed to be a soap, not a way for a bunch of middle aged single scriptwriters to bitch about their ex-wives. :thumbsdow

......or ex-husbands...right now I am so bored with the latest story line about Sonia and Martin/Naomi...the only marriage that has survived over 2 yrs is Dot and Jim...None of the marriages that have been consumated over the past 3 years have stuck together..:searchme: :thumbsdow

the good thing about the episode was Kevin in his boxer shorts, now that was quite amusing.

so who wants to place a bet on rosie and keiths marriage then? haha tonights episode was alright!

It couldnt have been a very good episode as i cant remember what happened except Billy being really upset which made me feel really sorry for him

i really want to seer one happy marriage on the square its not much to ask for. I though maybe it would be ROsie and Keith but im thinking now they may not make it up the aisle.

I agree with that Florijo. This is a major storyline and yet there is absolutley no chemistry between Sonia and Naomi. It's all come from nowhere. It's a complete change of personality for Sonia and it is all just contrived to make the storyline. It's just so unbelieveable that it spoils the whole supposed devastating effect.

It seems to me that one day the producer had this great idea, "Hey how about an inter-racial lesbian relationship that breaks up a stable marriage; that should win us some headlines and make us seem pretty cool...now, who can it be....?"

I don't think this is unbelievable at all, nor has it come from nowhere. This storyline has been building up since Sonia met Naomi and the marriage hasn't been stable for a while. Sonia tried to leave Martin at Christmas, asking him for time to think about their relationship.

Sonia has had many problems over the years starting with her mother leaving the family home. She had Chloe, gave her up for adoption, kidnapped her and then watched Jamie die. Sonia and Martin were brought together through tragedy and married quickly. Now she is married, her daughter is back in her life and she is achieving her dreams of being a nurse. All in the garden should be rosy as this is what she has wanted all along. But Naomi came into their lives. She is more worldly wise than Sonia and has shown her there is so much more to life and it has made her question her decisions. She finds Naomi exciting and is infatuated by her. With Naomi being gay, Sonia has confused her feelings for her as being more than they are.

This is going to end in tears and regret. Sonia isn't gay and will realise that in time. There's also her feelings for Martin. She believes that she doesn't love him any more, but she loved him enough to marry him despite his involvement in Jamie's death. As soon as she sees him with someone else, she will realise how she feels about him.

Poor Martin. Sonia deserves a good slap. Sonia and Naomi are an awful couple no chemistry whatsoever. I loving Jack he is a great character. Kevin/Deano/Pat scenes were very funny.

That must have been a bad episode then!

I wanted to slap Sonia, I do not even think she is thinking things thru, but again it is the EE writers who are hitting so many bumps they do not know what they are churning out any more, last nights episode was pure rubbish. I am sure things will be verrrrrrrry interesting when Pauline, Dot and Jim get a wind of why Sonia is shackin up with Naomi ....that should liven up the program a bit.....:hmm:
