A good episode to start the week, The way Belinda was dressed was way ott even for her. Carli Norris is a talented actor but I would have much prefered to have had Lynn or Little Mo come back.
The only real niggle with the episode was the fact we lost some of the momentum from Thursday, waiting three days for the next episode was a shame. Nice scenes with Patrick and Billy.
I think 2016 could be the year Phil dies and perhaps Grant will return for this???
Rakhee who plays Shabnam imo is one of the few actors in soap, who makes it so natural and effortless, its as though she is not acting if you know what I mean. The only other actor in EE that had this skill was Lindsey Coulson and in CS Alison King. Rakhee is simply the best actor in soapland right now by a country mile.
I think there's little chance of Phil being killed off. Even if Steve McFadden decided to leave permanently, I'm sure they'd leave the door open in case he changed his mind.Quote:

I agree about Rakhee Thakrar. Like Lindsay Coulson, she can show emotions bubbling away under the surface with just a look in the eye.Quote:

He probably thinks he can deal with Stacey and her mentality, and that she'll get better in time. And I'm sorry, but that proves without a shadow of a doubt that Martin is a complete moron! What Stacey did, he should be calling the doctors right now! She was still blabbering about God and everything when he brought her home, which proves how disturbed she is.
I just can't believe Martin would be that stupid! He knows all about her illness and even called the police for goodness sake. If he hasn't, or doesn't intend to, call for help he's as deluded as she is! :wall:Quote:

How did Belinda get there so quick?
I was aghast at the thought of Shabnam and Kush taking Arthur from Martin while Stacey's incapacitated. However, he doesn't seem capable of caring for a baby if he's trying to delude himself Stacey's psychosis isn't happening. :wall:Quote:

To be honest, I would feel totally overwhelmed if I was in Martin´s shoes .. I hope he will go and seek help very soon for all of themQuote:

But until you have seen what a decline in mental health can be like, it can be difficult to imagine just how far the mental health will decline and what the patient is going to do?Quote:

For me yet again the stand out performer has to be shabnam. Rakhee makes it look so easy and effortless without having to try. Flawless.
I wonder how long EE's good form will continue? Hopefully a while longer. :hmm:
Martin has accused Stacy of having an episode at least once since she's been off her meds when in fact she was just having a strop if I recall. It's been made crystal clear he's not happy she stopped taking the medication and is paranoid about her mental health. He's even been shown researching bipolar.Quote:

Martin would have to be an imbecile to not recognise that as a very severe decline in mental health, and that she's a danger to Arthur and herself. He might not be the sharpest tool in the box but he's not stupid, and it's totally unbelievable and highly frustrating to me that he wouldn't have sought help straight away.
Give me a break DTC!!! :wall:
I miss a lot of EE so was not aware of Martin´s knowledge about Stacey´s illnes. But I still think that even with a lot of research into conditions it can still feel overwhelming when actually confronted with it :(
It must be an unimaginably overwhelming situation to be in and I can understand Martin not wanting to scare Stacey even more than she is already. Why doesn't he at least seek the advice of someone who will know what to do, and make sure she's not left alone with Arthur in the meantime? Surely it must have occurred to him that she's a danger to the baby as well as to herself?
I think I might take a break from EE until this is resolved. I've just been reading next week's Radio Times, andPost partum psychosis is thankfully very rare and mothers suffering the condition who kill their babies is even rarer, but we've all seen the headlines in the news (like the recent one where a young mother in Bristol jumped off a cliff with her newborn baby :(). I'm finding it too distressing and frustrating to watch the people around Stacey doing nothing, even if it is realistic. They don't need to have any knowledge of post partum psychosis to know something is very, very wrong.Spoiler:
Belinda looked dressed for the funeral already :pQuote:

Belinda is married to Neville. She said they were on their way to a Masonic do when Mo rang and happened to be nearby.Quote:

Yes - the fact he's not got her any help at all. Or perhaps more to the point do we not have health visitors these days? (Oh how I disliked mine!) - and someone with mental health issues would surely have someone checking on her.Quote:

Good point! My daughter had a baby nearly exactly a year ago and stayed with me the first week after the birth. We had at least two visits from professionals (a midwife and possibly a health visitor?) during that time and my daughter has no health or other problems. Stacey is known to be bipolar and off her meds, so surely they'd be keeping a very close eye on her?Quote:

However the best scenes for me were between Kush and Shabnam. I really hope the public vote for Rakhee for the best serial drama performance at the National Television Awards as she really deserves to win. She is a cut above, she really is.
Arthur is not Phil´s family so no social workers get involvedQuote:

Can't argue with that. He's definitely had his slimy moments in EE. Though I can understand some of his motives with protecting Bobby. He's just too blind to the danger that Bobby represents, and all the protecting he's done for him has gone too far. If the truth comes out now, not only will he lose Bobby, but he'll lose everything else including his and Jane's freedom.Quote:

I can't believe they're keeping it going as long as they have.

Bit of a shock tonight....seeing Winston outside the Queen Vic.
