Was ok eppi last night.. I am however annoyed so much with Peggy.. Pat told her discreetly about Petal, but then she went and told Dawn.. Later Peggy blamed Billy on all this saying he was the runt of the litter and that this is typical billy.. She is a total cow.. Ok Pat should not have said anything but Peggy had not right to tell everyone else in the pub... I hope she gets slapped :angry::angry:
What!! Peggy blamed Billy for Petal having Downs?!?! :angry: As awful as Billy was in the beginning (with the whole Jamie thing) he doesn't deserve that!
I totally agree, i hated what he did to Jamie but he changed and he deserves some credit for that, its not his fault his baby has downs and Peggy shouldnt blame himQuote:

Good on Billy for saying that he isn't ashamed, but, problem is, Honey appears to be having difficulties accepting Petal's condition (from what I've read anyway) and by the party being cancelled etc, it almost fuels Honey's belief that she should be ashamed of her daughter - which is an awful thing. I hope Honey comes through this and accepts her daughter for the beautiful baby girl that she is.
I think Peggy can be a real nasty piece of work at times. Here's another scene that just proves it - [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boZtSlgEBsg[/ame] She's always had a right vicious tongue on her if you ask me.. i've never been much of a fan of the character.Quote:

Oh my god! I can't believe Peggy would say something like that! I knew she had a vicious tongue...but i never thought she would say anything like that :eek: It's good that EE put this in though as it is very realistic, and sadly, some people's reactions to that kind of news.Quote:
