Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

:cheer:Sharon should remember, pride goeth before a fall. And did love how Shirley referred to her as a "menopausal Barbie."

all the soaps ratings seemed low last night as did the shares. it was only the first corrie at 7:30 that was decent, the 2nd at 8:30 was pretty low. perhaps it was that friday feeling. the emmerdale viewers were in bed, corrie viewers were at gala and eastenders viewers were ... i dread to think! :o

Doesn't bear thinking about but it probably involved let us say, states of altered consciousness.:nono:

I thought so too.

I really couldn't give a toss about Cindy being pregnant, they've done nothing with her character since they brought her in and it just seems like they're thinking of something to do with her. And what we have seen of her hasn't been very endearing, but probably like Lola she'll have a total personality transplant once she becomes a mum. And TJ has hardly been in it either, so I don't care if he's the father...

The opposite for me as this storyline could explore the whole issue of teen pregnancies. EE can do a good job addressing social issues and hopefully this will be the case here. And the Cindy character who is unappealing in terms of personality traits could develop more positively with motherhood. Though that's iffy.:angel:

I think if she turned out to be David's daughter i.e. Bianca's half sister would be a good storyline for her

Johnny later found a dog tag in the meat and Shirley asked Kat for a refund, who refused telling her that she should keep quiet as she'd been serving it to customers. Jake disappeared thinking that Tommy was in the buggy and Lauren tracked him down.

Cindy went to the abortion clinic with TJ and Linda, but TJ later left her and Linda alone. Cindy implied to him that she'd gone through with it but actually kept the baby.

Nikki turned up after David called her and he told Nikki that TJ had got a girl into trouble.

Linda caught Wayne showing his phone around and laughing. Nancy figured that they were pictures of her and showed the whole pub pictures of Wayne on a laptop to get her own back, saying that there wasn't a big finale :lol:

Thanks Kim, that was very helpful :)

I love Shirley's scenes with Lady Di - hilarious and strangely poignant!

Is it me, or is Linda becoming more likeable (and quite funny too)?

Shirley and Lady Di; a match made in heaven.:angel:

Linda won me over with that intercepted phone coup she pulled off with Wayne which resulted in her daughter finally having her eyes opened about him.:clap:
