Dennis Tanner was speaking about his personal experience, that is why I pointed out that the discussion is about a fictional storyline

Very disappointed and shocked at Max and Jack tonight helping out their so called hard man brother Derek yet he needed his two back ups to help him take on David and poor Carol lost her true love gone and got a smack from her brother

A good episode only partly polluted by a couple of the usual suspects.

I think as Syed was the first born,he had more to live up to.

I dont think this was Zanaib accepting it, I think a frequent reaction to people/parents when they suspect someone might be gay is to make light of it in the hope of getting the big 'how very dare you' denial...?

I think this should read his choices should have been....when you are faced with the third choice of staying deep in the closet and doing your best to pretend to be 'normal' wouldnt most people take the easiest option?

Poor Carol :( I really felt for her at the end of last night's episode.

It was lovely to see Simon at his mum's grave, even though it was only for a moment.

I'm sorry to see David go - Michael French has brought a bit of class to EE this last couple of weeks.

I don't think that people in a soap have this choice as if they did, even the viewers wouldn't know about them.

He certainly did. However, he's so good, he's a bit out of place in EE. David does love Carol but in the end he couldn't take her away from her family.

Agreed, except perhaps for Lindsay Coulson. His scenes with her were compelling.

With David gone I am guessing that he will ease off

So did I hear right is Jay Mitchell a beneficiary to Pat's will and testament?
Derek is such a sorry character. I do not like bullies. He has no right in interfering with Carol's life. Even when he hates David.

I hope we see a bit of feisty Carol in the coming Eps.....she needs to make everyone aware that Derek smacked her one!!! she was checking the bruise coming out in the Friday episode, so hopefully she wont go for mass concealer but shwo the square what a bully Derek is...

didn't Pat have a handicapped sister or something like that so that might explain why everything went to Janet

Was that all we were getting from Simon Wicks? If so it was a bit pointless, considering they've gone on and on about him being in New Zealand for so long, bit of an expensive trip! Plus it's not like Nick Berry has been particulalry busy these days...

He might be working behind the camera rather than in front, so he might be very busy. But I agree, I would have liked to have seen him there for a bit longer

I thought he'd given up acting. The BBC managed to persuade him just to do that minute though.
