I think it is the inconsistency.

when EE started - forgive me here.... - the mini mart was owned by an asian couple and people regularily and openly referred to it as the P**i shop, and would say 'go to the P... shop and get me.....'

which for London andthe East End at the time would have been the norm. So there well done EE for doing it and being 'real' even if not nice

Hev as a character was a larger lady, and those of lesser intelligence would always have called her fat - for me its the fact they never did, but suddenly started when her demise was imminent

it was cheap thrill writing

fair point.

another cracking ep tonight. the scenes with dot and cora on the stairs smoking was very good, two superb actors. and a brilliant performance as always by gillian wright.

I cringed too, but felt it was accurate - anyone with a weakness has it exploited when it suits the bullies, which is what Phil is.

He knows Jean gets confused and has self-doubts so played on that

Phil Mitchell obviously took a course in hypnotism whilst banged up - his powers of mind control since he was released are WAY beyond those of a bully - "look into my eyes, not around the eyes but into the eyes...."

Eastenders's Golden Girls (Rose, Dot and Cora) are great

So much for family for Phil as he stitches up Billy now

I really want Ben and Phil caught out soon

I wasn't actually refering to Mitchell. I was refering the the Alfie/Roxanne double act

yes, but how often do people take the route of least resistance when a bully is at work?

go along and agree with the bully at the expense of the 'little' person, because at least you are not being targetted?

I miss Hev already :(

Me too. I wasn't her biggest fan, but you don't know what you got till it's gone.
Is Crisp going to use his flimsy £1000 motive to hang on anybody? Being Andrew/Billy at the moment?
I know that Ben is totally repulsive, but I quite enjoy his scenes, the actor is good at being bad :D
