I enjoyed the scenes in the Vic. However We did not need Whitney and Lee's scenes in tonights episode. Like Kat and Kim together. I love kim's laugh. Kellie Bright was excellent as always.

Maybe he was not really discharged but was a member of the SAS and not allowed to tell anyone :hmm: :p
I think the man in the car was actually following Kat. It was a twist at the end and got the duff duffs (unless I completely got the wrong end of the stick!).Quote:

I'd have liked to have seen Kat and Linda have had a real in-depth heart-to-heart about their rapes and subsequent pregnancies. As it was it was barely touched upon, which puzzles me.
Also, it would have been the perfect time for Shirley to apologise profusely to Linda for bullying and humiliating her about the rape. I still can't believe the Carters have allowed Shirley back into their lives without so much as a sorry! :angry:
Linda couldn't go through with an abortion much earlier in the pregnancy so she's not going to now (and I'm pretty sure EE wouldn't got there at this stage as it'd be too harrowing). She was traumatised and not thinking straight after the rape so she wasn't thinking logically about the baby.Quote:

Yes, I agree. That's what I thought.Quote:

I disagree - he was following Kim before at the tube station. I think Vincent would of given him a description or more realistically a photo of Kim and I don't think he could mistake her for Kat really.Quote:

"Who's Zoe?" also didn't fit; Linda knew of her existence as she was asking Sharon for the gossip on Kat/Zoe/Anthony back in the summer.
does roxy love charlie now?
I am glad the aftermath of Linda's rape is being handled well and not skipped over or rushed, Danny and Kellie have great chemistry and play off each other so well, he was so sweet with her and liked their scenes in the park recreating their first date

That was a lovely scene and it's really good to see the couple tentatively trying to get past the rape (and it's excellent that EE are still dealing with the effect it's has on both of them). Did anyone else feel that Mick's line about tonguing Linda with cheesy breath was ad-libbed? :DQuote:

So we're going to have a love triangle storyline between Ronnie, Roxy and Charlie... :thumbsdow
I thought the Scenes with Mick and Linda in the park with the sweets was well done. Also it is nice to see a different side to Kim. I thought it was clever that the bloke in the car wanted Kat and not Kim as we were lead to believe.
Some nice bits of comedy also, Denise to Kim: "I'm going to buy Patrick some new pants. The glamour." Shirley answering the phone in blades in a posh voice and telling Lolo off for her efforts on a client. Shirley to Lolo: "Blonde like Kylie Minogue, not Nanny McPhee" - Shirley Carter at her finest. I like her in Blades. The duff duff was a little flat however.
I'm intrigued to find out why Zoe hates Kat. I guess it's been done to explain why Zoe won't be back (I've heard that Michelle Ryan's not interested and, since they used her photo the other day, the character won't be recast in the near future).Quote:

I cant do a link and have shortened it a bit.
If you are interested-its in Kat Slaters profile
on Wiki in storylines section.
Not sure how accurate it is -people amend-
and I dont remember all details of story.
Or it could be Zoe is resentful about being
deceived about who her real parents were

OK with Charlie.

Yes - the details on Zoes profile are quiteQuote:

I'm not sure how I feel about Kat taking Harry's money though. I thought she was right to turn it down, but of course her financial situation's precarious and she's got her kids to consider.
Surprisingly good chemistry between Carol and Billy. I hope we see more of the two, they're sweet together (as long as they're not turned into yet another of the square's long-suffering couples).
It was very funny when everyone left Martin alone in the pub. He needs to find some more interesting topics of conversion! :D
Pam: Les battered sausage :p
anyone read harry potter and bay city rollers
To be truthful an episode you could quite easily have missed (apart from the duff duff) Pleased Mo got the Duff Duff. :)
kat needs to accept the money she is broke and has young kids
I thought Mas wanted Shabs and Kush to get together a while back, his reaction tonight was ott (maybe it was that they were sleeping together though) and why did Shabs think her and Kush were getting engaged already
I hope Tamwar and Nancy get together properly
Looks like Les has 2 birdys on the go :p
Mo: ''Kat Moon speaking, I ain't got no PPI'' so funny, line of the night. :D
Poor Pam, Les you dirty dog. I like Kush and Shabs together and pairing Nancy and Tam together is genius. I hope they become some sort of couple.
I've enjoyed catching up with some of the quieter characters and storylines this week. It makes a refreshing change to see characters like Les and Pam given some screen time. I'm not convinced yet that he has another woman on the go though. There could be another explanation although we already know he's dodgy (something Pam seems completely unaware of).
I enjoyed the scenes in the funeral parlour and wish we'd get more of them. There's plenty of scope for storylines there. We could have a new imaginatively-killed corpse per episode like the TV show Six Feet Under (one of my erstwhile faves). :D
I don't understand at all how Shabnam thought she and Kush were engaged. Nothing like that was even hinted as far as I'm aware. Perhaps she only said that to appease Masood and to give the impression that she was only sleeping with Kush because she thought they'd be married soon? I could believe that because she was so ashamed at seeing her hypocrisy through her father's eyes. She's been so judgemental about his relationships in the past that it's no wonder he was angry.
She (and the kids) need her sanity above all else though.Quote:
