Yeah, I can't figure out why, if they were so worried about an immigrant being free, that they sent 2 people, but still didn't bother to show for ages. Jim phoned them when it was still light.Quote:

I really thought the Dot and baby storyline would be pants, but I got a pleasant surprise...with some excellent acting as well.
The Stella storyline is also going strong as well at the mo, and I never thought Id feel sorry for the milkyway kid, but I really do! lol
Can't believe the Wicks are back :thumbsdow
And the 2007 award for overacting and hammiest performance of the year goes to Dave Hill as Bert Atkinson.:clap:
And what was all that red make up round his eyes all about? And why the sudden deterioration in his eyesight? Have the scriptwriters bothered to research glaucoma at all?
I would.Quote:

Well done June Brown:clap:
Shame on the writers, producers and storyliners of this absolute NONSENSE:nono:
It wasn't sudden.. he was told he had glaucoma weeks and weeks ago and he did nothing about itQuote:

She was found to have glaucoma and the pressure level in one of the eyes was found to be at a very dangerous level, enough where she could have lost her sight in that eye. She had to undergo pressure relieving treatment, then the laser surgery afterwards which managed to save it, although the other eye was also treated to ensure the same didn't happen then. And this happened within a month or so. Her optician has seen that problems were afoot a month prior, had prescribed her eye drops, which she failed to use, not realising the importance of it and this was the result. I think I remember seeing Bert walking out of an opticians appointment when something similar was being explained to him.Quote:

I really enjoyed last night's episode. Hazel is such a brilliant character - i really hope she becomes a permanent addition to the cast! I loved her talk with Minty over Garry's bladder! :D Hazel's scenes with Garry and Minty were my favourite scenes last night.
I really enjoyed the Bert/Jay scenes as well, poor Bert..i'm feeling really sorry for him. The kid who plays Jay, i think is a really good actor though.
I didnt catch it last night, mum and dad wanted university challenge instead.
I was watching an episode from early last year earlier, and noticed that Pauline sprayed Bert in the eye with some form of cleaning product. Bert's condition must come from the pressure building up on the inside of the eye, so maybe they're going to somehow bring in that Pauline had something to do with it.
I can't believe they've got rid of Hazel - she's been better in a week that a lot of the other characters have in a year.
