Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[maidmarian]

Sad it was fat boy who was killed. After watching the episode, I personally think he was dead before the crusher got him, because Vincent pushed the bloke off the Crusher. My theory is Arthur suffocated in the boot and for someone who was terrified of closed spaces, is a horrible way to die. I did feel sorry for Dot.

As for the Beale storyline I think that may be the last we see of Bobby for a while, maybe until Max comes out of prison? On a practical level are there not laws on how many hours child actors can work? I would imagine Elliott who plays Bobby has used those up?

The episode had an unpleasant, uneasy feel to it tonight.

Yes there are rules for child actors and they are
quite restrictive and detailed. Main points-

Can only work max 2 hrs per day on school days
and Sundays.
Can work longer hours on Saturdays & school hols.
But must have 2 vlear weeks in school hols


Need a performing licences issued by local
Council.
Cant work before 7am or after 7pm.

If not accompanied by teacher or parent - have to
have chaperone - also licenced by council
