Sharon Marshall more or less confirmed an adoption won't be happening. Whether that means Sharon and Phil will have the baby or Denise will change her mind I don't know.

I guess I should have known there's still plenty of time for things to go wrong - and that no EP would let a baby Mitchell go. :wall:Quote:

The Babe/Mick scenes were a bit rinse and repeat.
Diane Parrish is doing really well in making Denise so sympathetic at the moment. I think she could have appeared harsh and soulless if being portrayed by a different actress.
I can understand that her friends and acquaintances are deeply shocked that Denise went into hospital and had a healthy baby but chose not to bring him home, but it would be nice if people like Carmel would at least listen to her reasons before making a judgment.
Phil's obviously not 100% sure he's made the correct decision. That's realistic in the circumstances of course, but in soapland the secret troubled look is usually foreshadowing something. :p
At least tammyy2j's above question about Denise's family being able to get custody has been answered. I didn't understand when Denise mentioned something along the lines of Phil taking the baby from the hospital. He's got absolutely no rights unless a court orders a DNA test, so could be done for kidnap if he took him. In fact, he'd have never even got near the baby without Denise's permission in real life.
For some reason I thought Babe had put cannabis in the coffee. :D
I think this story is being done fairly gently and very well. Phil's look got me, he's not convinced, maybe he thinks Sharon doesn't want a baby.. or wouldn't want Denise's baby.Quote:

As in a coloured baby? I wouldn't think Sharon racist but I do think she don't want the babyQuote:

Mind you, no-one cares much about law-breakers in EE.

No, I didn't notice that. :lol:Quote:

All those future possible storylines that could happen when the baby comes back 17/18 years later... But they didn't do much with Grant's baby!

Was expecting a Mick and Whitney kissing, duff duff. The level I've now dropped to with EE was paying more attention to see if Ronnie was motionless in the casket , rather than the emotion of the scene with Jack.
Did she smile?Quote:

It was quite a shock to see dead Ronnie (looking like Sleeping Beauty) in her casket.
I really enjoyed the scene between Phil and Michelle. It's good to know Phil Mitchell is capable of suffering survivor's guilt!
The scene between Denise and Kim was also very well played.
I wonder who Phil was speaking to at the end? It seemed to me to be someone significant.
As I've said before when this cropped up, given Whitney's past and that she's currently feeling vulnerable it's not at all surprising that she again appears to have subconsciously latched on to an older man who's very supportive and makes her feel safe. There's an awful lot of chemistry between Mick and Whitney, but I hope any romantic feelings stay strictly one-sided.
Poor Jack - he needn't have bothered acting as we were too busy watching to catch Ronnie moving! :)Quote:

P.S Thought I detected a slight finger twitch from Ronnie on the distance shot with Jack :D
Is Babe going to see Whitney in her PJ's coming out of Mick & Linda's bedroom, hope not , that scenario has been done so many times before ...yawn

The scenes with Kim and Denise were excellent and its great to see a different side to Kim.
Having 2 episodes of EastEnders in one night is too much soap and becomes a chore to watch.
Liked how Jack beat the crap out of Danny and Max was putting the tom sauce in his bacon sandwich. :D
i prefer brown sauce, prison has changed max but danny deserved a smack jack needed to ventQuote:

I noticed that too and I usually find her pretty good. I do think the scene where Glenda shrieked about her babies when she first saw the hearse was written as deliberately over-the-top and false in order to prove Aunt Sal's accusation of attention seeking correct.Quote:

Agreed. It was a hard-hitting scene and was played very well.Quote:

I wish someone would contact Charlie, Matthew's dad. He should at least know what's going on.
