I wasn't sure whether it was from over or under rehearsing, but they certainly didn't seem to be too bothered did they lol. At least Arthur had had the affair with Mrs Hewitt to warrant the frying pan treatment though - Joe didn't really do anything that bad, apart from tell her how he felt about her family I suppose :lol:Quote:

I loved it last night. Billy scene with the cot again got to me.. He loves Petal so much and he is a complete mess
Stacey shouldn't have done what she did, turning up at the party like that.. If she was annoyed, turning up and behaving would have made more of an impression on Bradley. Having said that, Lydia had no right to talk to Stacey like that, Bradley had no right to tell everyone she was just a fling and then tell Stacey he didn't ever want to have kids with her..
I am looking forward to tonight and the christmas one.... Billy/honey, Pauline/sonia features a lot in them and say what you like about EE scripts, they are good actors
i felt so sorry for billy last night.
poor stacey, bradley is turning into his father. stacey's well clear of him.
But, putting it on the other side, the amount of hurtful things Pauline has said in the past to Joe etc - would that then make it excusable for him to hit her? Its still marital abuse in my book in some sense of the word. Understandable in a sense, but ahh I don't know.Quote:

I don't think Lydia had the right to speak to Stacey like that either, but, I think it was with the best of intentions, although completely wrong. Bradley at the end, about the kids bit and everything, I think was a reaction to her coming out of the bathroom with that other guy. Bradley obviously thought something had happened, especially with the way in which she was flirting with him all night, and so it was said to hurt her. Hurtful things are said more so when you love the person you are arguing with. It was all well and good for Stacey to apologise, and good on her for apologising, but to me the damage had been done in her behaviour that night. She should have just kept away from the party. The way she acted when she was there, almost justified Bradleys reasons for not inviting her.
It was a better episode than the one that I had last seen 6 months ago, and like you said Siobhan, there are some very good actors in there, and they can only do as the script says.
But that is Pauline all over, she could always give the crap but never take it. And yes it is domestic abuse... What she said, let alone did, was nasty and horrible but to be honest, i didn't see pauline talking, I saw Wendy Richards talking. She never wanted her character to remarry. I think it was an attack on the writers/producers more that her on screen husbandQuote:

I thought Joe was really good however hard he tried he still wanted to help her, Peggy and Paulines slanging match in the Square was good as well.
As for Stacey i dont think she deserved to be treated like that, they drinks went flying in true slater fasion.
I thought it was really good, too. Loved it when Pauline hit Joe, was it with the fruit bowl?! The original one got smashed in the Sonia/Martin/Stalker Sarah storyline, I recall. I wished I could just pop up and say, "Sorry, Joe, but every husband of Pauline Fowler has to be smashed round the head at some point, affair or no affair.
I felt so sorry for Billy when he started smashing the cot up, Honey cares a little bit, but not that much, yet.
Poor Stacey. I felt so sorry for her, knew that that man was going to start taking advantage when he followed her in like that. Go Stacey with the glass, just change the skirt! I really hate Bradley now, first the abortion, now dumping her. Why doesn't he just take everything away from her, as she seems to have lost Sean now, and Ruby only went a while back.
Does anyone remember that guys name?! I'll have to look at the episode again. What a prat! hey! I hope Bradley has a go at him, at some point. He's horrible! Wanted to see Stacey kick that guy, in the bathroom, he deserved a pasting! lol.Quote:

Although I wouldn't really like anyone going out with Bradley, who isn't Stacey! lol.
Oh I agree there are plenty of good actors in EE, but also a lot of awful scriptwriters who must get their ideas from watching Pocoyo.Quote:
