From what was said on Friday, it'd been less than 24 hours since she'd noticed the baby move. She seemed devastated to me. :(Quote:

I hope this brings Shabham and Kush closer instead of him chasing after Stacey, as they make a good couple
It is a shame also Zainab didn't return but at least Tamwar mentioned her and Syed
It was a moving scene - very well acted.Quote:

Im.sorry to say that if Zainab had returned
and been her usual.OTT self -it would
have spoilt the sensitivity of the scene-
for me anyway!
She seems to only have one setting.
But fortunately -it didnt happen!
dupl
I like that she was mentioned or showed Tamwar talking on the phone to her and SyedQuote:

Usually I would agree - that a mother wouldQuote:

It was bad enough to hear from Tamwar that she said something along the lines that at least now the wedding would be respectable... :thumbsdowQuote:

I can't believe EE wouldn't have Zainab come back. I mean, especially now! Her daughter was expecting a baby, Shabs already has a daughter that's been found, now Shabs has lost the baby... If those aren't excuses for a mother to return and be there for her own child, then what is???
Ha ha...you've found us! :thumbsup:Quote:

To be fair to DTC, I have heard he tried to get Nina Wadia back but she was too busy.
stacey needs to stop sniffing around kushQuote:

What a harrowing episode again. Shabnam's grief feels so real. It went right through me when she screamed at the dinner table. I think I'd have done much the same in her position having to listen to Carmel rambling on so inappropriately about the wedding.
I found Shabnam and Kush's row at the end difficult to watch too. Well done to the actors because it really didn't feel as if they were pretending.

I do feel great sympathy for Shabnam.
As well as dealing with the still birth - which
is very traumatic- I wonder if that has caused
her to think again about the birth of Jade and
all the following events.
Plus Carmel and possibily past problems in
her own family. It must be unbearable for
her.I was very impressed by the interview
the actress gave and she is obviously
determined to give the storyline the seriousess
it deserves.

I believed Kush when he told Carmel he really loves Shabham, I hope they work out
I also believed him, and I was quite surprised because I thought he was still a bit ambivalent about her. I hope they make it too.Quote:

The way the episode was going, I was almost starting to think that EE were going to use the same idea twice, by saying that Babe and Queenie were planning to sell Mick as soon as he was born, that everything was set, but then Shirley ended up having twins, and the couple only wanted one and they didn't have time to find another buyer.
I'm loving seeing Aunt Babe again, and I like the fact none of us was able to guess her dark secret. I wonder if they were doing it out of the kindness of their hearts or to make money? I expect it'll turn out to be the latter (although it certainly didn't make them rich as tammyy2j says). I've enjoyed spending time with the Carters again.
EE is back on form at the moment. If only Linda would get justice and Dean would leave (one way or another), I'd be over the moon with it.
I think Masood and Carmel are falling for each other... :wub:
That would have been a twist too far after the Kat revelation! :DQuote:

The writers do seem to have a bit of a trend at
mo of basing stories on.real life events- which
is fair enough I suppose as " There is nothing
new under the sun"
But they also seem to be picking stories from
some time ago but that someone else has relatively
recently made a film/tv prog about.
Canoe man - insurance scams
Selling Babies-Philomena -
Bobbys story - We need to talk about Kevin.
(producer quite up front about that)
none are exact replicas - but might like
to take a story someone else hasnt used
recently. Perhaps it saves money on research!?

A very good episode last night. Very touching between Shirley and Mick.
I loved last night. It's nice to see Nick and Shirley making up. I thought the end where he called her mum was especially sweet. I can't believe how quickly they were to forgive Babe, though. Though I do enjoy her character. I wonder if we'll ever see any of those girls from her photo album show up?
While I enjoyed the episode and the ceasefire between the Carters, Mick and Shirley's tender reconciliation was ruined for me by the presence of Dean in the back of my mind.Quote:

It's good to see Babe returning to the square, but I hope that's not the end of the baby selling storyline. There needs to be repercussions! Like you storyseeker1, I'm left wondering if we'll meet some of those girls and/or their babies in the future.
Perhaps Sharon is one of the babies!
Good thinking! Stranger things have happened in Eastenders...much stranger things in fact. :DQuote:

I keep thinking we have Sharons parentage
sorted now- then something else happens!!
Most of past speculation is regarding Sharons
natural father but I wonder about her natural
mother.Carol Hanley did have other children
- Sharons half -siblings!?.
The character is deceased now ( relatively
recently).- so they could "retcon" without
too much bother!
dupl
I enjoyed the Carters and Aunt Babe, even though she manipulates them all, she does love the family as her own so I am glad she is coming back to live with them
I also like how Vincent is trying to fit in with Patrick and Denise for baby Pearl (who is so adorable) and Kim, it is shame he is lusting after Ronnie again, he works much better with Kim
lee and whitney are so boring, cant get into lee depression storyline
good to have dot free and home and now a new roommate for her in cora
a year since linda rape and nothing done to dean :angry:
does ronnie want to get away from charlie and matthew
I'm finding it OK, but it's not a patch on Simon's Gregson's portrayal of depression so far. I am glad Whitney's being given something to do though.Quote:
