Current Episode Discussion VI

I thought she agreed to surrogate as in give them the baby? I know they paid her but don't people get paid for surrogacy and it isn't quite the same as selling it is it? Why is it illegal? Well - I suppose Rob and May were desperate so i can sympathise. I am annoyed with Dawn for going after a maried man anway. I know he was seperated at the time but now that he's chosen to be with his wife she should have dropped it and either remained single or found a nice single chap like Garry and agreed to surrogate only if she genuinely meant it and was sorry for them. If it had been a genuine surrogacy offer Rob and May wouldn't have tricked her or needed to and if Dawn had been decent she would haveflatly refused to go with a married man.

There is a big difference between May/Rob/Dawn and Tanya/Max/Stacey triangles. In this case May told Rob to have the fling and Robdid it to make her happy. Though it was I admit unfair on Dawn i didn't really have a problem with this affair. Naturally Dawn's family will side with Dawn but Keith jumped to conclusions too quickly andwas too quick to heap all the blame on Rob and may. Dawn is just as much to blame. If she wanted an abortion shecould have had it much earlier before may made her offer. Instead she goes and wastes Rob's money. If she agreed to surrogate and shedid of her own free will, nobody forced her ito it, not even Rob and may she should have gone through with it and not done it for an ulterior motive.

Its entirely different in the Stacey/Max case. he's old enough to be her father and in fact Rob's old enough to be Dawn's father. She was stupid to come onto a married man just for childish revenge on her boyfriend. Anyhow going onto married people orr people who are with other people is just not done even if they resist just as Tanya resisted Sean. hen Max is weak and can't stop once he's started. Like he said he doesn't love Stacey, she is "just a drug". May's abolutely right in saying that there is more to love than sleeping with someone and a bit of flirtation. I can't believe she does not love Rob seeing as they were all loved up a short while ago and he even beggedher not to leave him togo to work. He can't have that kind of deep relationship with Dawn. She's too young. I think he's fond of her but I'm not convinced Rob loves Dawn. He just felt guilty and had sympathy when she tried to top hersself and was rightly angry at May's lack of concern.

I cant believe that Max made up some thing about Tanya being responsable for someone hacking onto the there card after shopping on the internet. Thats so awful to make her believe that when hes actually booking holidays for Stacey. I wonder how long it will go on before everyone gets hurt.
Even though Dawn idnt terminate its still pretty awful that the only reason Rob wanted her was because of Mays plans for there baby.
I have to say though that only catching bits of last weeks, Stella is brillinat. I cant quite understand what shes up to but its brilliant all the same. Plus Ian and his fued with the Mitchells is so funny, although its not Billys fault that he has the same surname.

I don't like Ian at all. He's so pathetic. Stella's really good at the moment. Max is a bit like Den isn't he? Den dragged Chrissie round to Ian's and got Ian to give Kate her present from Den. Max said agesago that they could hurt a lot of people if they did not end it and he's dead right. The answer is don't start in the first place because once you start it is very difficult to stop. If he kept saying no it would have been all right. If stacey hadn't come onto himthen it would also have been all right.

I think what I like most about Stella in all this is that SHE actually believes what she is doing.. it is not like she is really nice to ben around everyone and then just evil to him when they are alone.. she is been "nice" in a bad way when it is just the two of them.. saying that she forgives him and still wants to be friends but then keeps in locked in the arches... the woman in a fruit loop!!!

What's a fruit loop?

Yeah I like that about Stella too. It would be boring if she is nice to him around others and purely evil to him when they are alone. She sounds quite altruistic when she is talking but while most people when they sound altruistic are genuinely so, she just uses it as a formof emotional manipulation. I still don't get why she locked him the arches though saying he needed time to think - think about what?

Fruit loop, nut job, headcase.. whatever term you want to use.

Locking him in the arches was just her further manipulation of him.. let him know she has the power and give him time to think that she is in control and there is nothing he can do or say!!

The deal was that Dawn would give them the baby and get £1,000 a month whilst pregnant, which you might do if someone was doing a surrogate for you, but May and Rob also offered £10,000 upon handover which would mean that they are buying the baby. May is just saying that Dawn is doing a surrogate for them to make the locals think better of her, as you wouldn't want to be seen buying your husband's baby and especially not with the reputation that she has.

I'll catch up with the later part of the week a bit later. I liked the way she was trying to seem nice by beeping the car horn, but being nasty by smirking and not really doing anything to stick up for Ben.

I can understand why May is irritating Rob at the moment but I wish he had not walked out on her for Dawn. That's wrong whichever way you look at it. I know May is too preoccupied with her infertility right now but i can't forget the time she and Rob were all loved up and Rob even begged her not to go to work and pulled her back into bed with him. He doesn't have that same intense relationship with Dawn and anyway Dawn is young, perfectly capable of getting a new boyfriend and has her family. May only has Rob. I know Dawn ended it with Rob but as a wife May's natural reactionwould be to want to know what her husband's up to. Oh well. It just seems like a waste after being married for 10 years for a man to throw away his marriage for a girl young enough to be his daughter. Even Max wouldn't be so daft.

I think that was badly acted, it was as if Rob was leaving May to get some attention, and wouldn't actually stay. It was as if he didn't want May because she was pestering him all the time, especially after she demanded he go back into the flat. It was as if he was worried Dawn might leave him, with the way he threw the laptop on the floor and the tone in which he was speaking; and so was doing it to prove a point to her.

I actually enjoyed the episode. Only thing that annoyed me was, the way Dawn didn't really put up much of a fight against Rob. He called her name, said go away, then they were kissing. Slightly weird if you ask me lol. Loved both Rob and May though :ninja:. And of course loved Stella, being her usual manipulative self. And thank god - a Max/Stacey free episode :cheer:.
