My only bug a boo with the storyline is that the actresses playing Louise, Rebecca and Linzi all look much older which is the point of Jay thinking she was around his own age :p
I was hoping Shirley and Shirley too would have gone to court to support Jay, I hope we see Shirley support him
I forget about Mick with Rainie covering for Ian, you would think he would understand :angry:
I love the bromance between Jay and Ben, always sticking together
I hope we see Abi support Jay also
True, how could of he gone so far as to not know her age but I think she wouldn't of told him the truth. And he thought she was at least 18 as he's seen her drinking.Quote:

For me I suppose the question is what did he ever talk to her about? I know you talk about work or school, or the things you do. The clues might or might not have been there. Had we seen her be evasive about what she did? There's always the 'I'm at college' thing which covers a couple of legal years of year, and the 'I'm at uni' ... but sooner or later you'd slip up and say you needed to revise for your GCSEs.
I don't think he had seen her drinking. I remember her saying no when Jay offered to buy her alcohol. Anyway, underage teens in pubs usually drink if they can get away with it so it's no guarantee of age.Quote:

There's no way for us to know if she'd have lied if asked outright, but the story has been written so she's just as much a victim as Jay and I'm glad for that. Too many people are too quick to blame the underage girls for getting men into trouble in similar real-life situations.
Didn't everyone see Linzi when Phil nearly killed her demolishing the car lot why didn't Sonia or Martin recognise her as Rebecca's friend Starr?
did mick or linda say the served her thinking she was olderQuote:

That's why I keep repeating I'm glad Linzi hasn't been written that way.
Unfortunately, Jay's admitted to being a sex offender but he truly was between a rock and a hard place when he did so. I'm sure the outcome would have been very different if Ritchie hadn't uncharacteristically refused to defend him. :(
no need for carter drama tonight prefer jay continuation
Sonia is sort of Whitney's aunt should she tell her if Tina won't
I liked Sophie's chat with Kyle but did Stacey already meet her previously that she let her in the flat :hmm:
I like Kathy more away from Ian and Jane who are very unlikeable now even beyond repair for Bobby I think :angry:
jay said he couldn't go back to jail again so plead guilty, be good to have seen him plead not guilty and fight his case which is all over now i presume
There might be further consequences of him signing the register. They have 5 years ticking on that to crop up again.Quote:

And of course he'll have to live with the people around him thinking he's a paedophile unless he moves away. Even then there's the risk of discovery.Quote:

and nothing more on jay instead more tina crap, would jay be allowed live with kids janet and william?
I'd like to be able to brag about the following post I wrote regarding Masood's resignation a few pages back, but I'm afraid it shows how predictable EE has become rather than any cleverness on my part... :wall:Quote:

It will be interesting to see how EE deals with thisQuote:

I am annoyed at Paul, he can't really blame Pam for being unhappy at his relationship with Ben after all Ben did to him in the past and also to Abi which seems to have been forgot about, all blame on her, Ben should have told Pam he wanted to prove her wrong instead of just dumping Paul to guilt her into changing her opinion :nono::wall:
I am not Sonia's biggest fan but dating Tina who has Peter Pan syndrome and does not want to grow up must be difficult
Sophie seems a bunny boiler turning up at Sonia's house for Tina, how did she know where Tina lived as I thought they got it on in the pub cellar
Why don't Carmel just stop chasing Mas and move on, he is moving on with his dates and getting his job back super fast if only this happened everywhere in real life
I wanted more Jay scenes too and also Abi's reaction to his arrest, they were together for a long time, hope she would support him
Yes Paul could do better than Ben but, who does not love a "bad guy" maybe he could check Jonny out, but that would be to nice?Quote:

WHy not kill to birds with one stone, cast two older Lesbian Ladies, that way ageism is being addressed too!! But i'm beginning to wonder if EE is struggling for any other issue to deal with so is this a case of "trend""
The only gay regulars at the moment are Paul, Ben, Johnny, Tina and Sonia (though they can't make up their minds whether she's bisexual or a lesbian), andQuote:

Leaving guest characters aside, that will leave only four gay characters out of a cast of about fifty, which equates to eight percent. Sounds about right to me.
I agree a gay couple (male or female) who'd been together for decades could be a good addition.
call the police mas
Yes!Quote:

I often see news headlines of people on dating sites being taken advantage of one way or another. It's usually financial or sexual.Quote:

Poor Mas. :(
No sympathy for Jane and Ian, dislike the characters so much now.
Are we going to get a shower scene with Andy? :love:

I am really angry that Pam is giving in to Paul and Ben as a couple this soon :angry: she is right to want to protect Paul, has everyone forgot Ben was supposedly straight a few weeks back with girlfriend Abi
Why is Stacey so keen to help and be around Andy if she wants to make her relationship with Martin work, Andy is quite obvious in his flirting banter with her
Sonia should have stuck to her guns and kicked Tina out along with Mick
You're a hard woman, Tammy!:DQuote:

Notice every word that came out of her mouth was about how it affected her! :angry:
Still, I like Denise Welch so I hope Kyle's mum gets over her shock and returns to Walford with a more loving attitude.
I bet there were some pulses racing seeing Andy just out of the shower... :p
I don't think Stacey's at all romantically interested in Andy. His feelings are more ambiguous though; he's certainly making a big effort to cosy up to her.
I shouldn't laugh because it's a very serious subject matter, but I found the way Sonia announced "They're coming off!" at the end very funny. :D
I quite liked Denise.Welsh when she was in Corrie forQuote:

So.I.was really.surprised( and Dazzle will probably

my phone( excerpts from Daily Mirror? article)
that her role tonight was a one episode appearance!
I think the subject.is too important and too life-
changing to be swept away.like that!!
The pics of P Schofields expression as he is :sick:
listening to her explanation are quite amusing?
He looks like hes been under water too long
and just come up for air!
Nice scenes with Dot and Sonia only spoilt by Sonia's Carry on Camping line: 'Tina won't like me any more because I won't have any boobs.'
Denise Welsh was superb tonight, it would be nice if she became a semi regular on the show.
And finally the towel scene with Andy. EastEnders had a bit of everything tonight. :p
that is a shame and pity if her appearance was a once offQuote:

I also liked Denise as Corrie's Natalie Barnes. A very memorable character.Quote:
