Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Dazzle]

Good episodes Monday and Tuesday. No Dean, or Stacey and Kush lusting after each other, was a huge relief.

I really enjoyed Stacey, Jean and Martin's scenes. The latter's expressions of horror at some of the Slater family antics were hilarious. I hope Stacey comes to love Martin and stays with him long term because I really like them together (when she's not treating him like dirt). The scene where she told Martin about her bipolar was riveting stuff.

Jean was horrible to Stacey at the end there! I was shocked she pronounced her daughter ill just to get hold of the key (of course there have been major hints that Stacey is having an episode but that's not why Jean did that). What on earth can she be hiding?

I can't remember if Stacey knows that Sean killed (or thinks he killed) their father. Jean's definitely got a guilty conscience about something; maybe she cruelly let Sean believe a lie?

I was really shocked that Jean didn't flush the key after all! (Though it's obvious she wouldn't have with hindsight.)

Good Nancy and Lee scenes too. I'm beginning to think

Spoiler:

maybe DTC will do Lee's depression storyline justice. It's impressive writing that he and Nancy are both suffering because of all the recent family angst.

It was nice to see Carol and Max having fun together.
