Eastender current episode discussion IV

[mysangry]

I thought the Avani story was going to turn into a racism story. Of the three girls Avani was the only non white, of the police officers it was the white officer who played the leading role, and who seemed to be taking pleasure in humiliating her in the strip search. While the other officer seemed to be showing some sympathy towards Avani, even though she did not say anything. Initially I thought this story was told quite well, that Avani was learning that having a smart mouth was not so smart after all. But now I feel it is developing into another police bashing tale. If the police acted within the law I am not sure that making a complaint will serve any purpose. The fact that Eve was the one to encourage, this seems to suggest that she ( or the writers) have forgotten that she is a lawyer.

I think it should have been Tommy for this story line, if perhaps he, Will and Ricky were in the same scenario, if could have been Tommy to be strip searched, this would have nothing to do with race, but shows just how easy it is for an innocent child to be wrong place wrong time.
It would have been ideal to give Tommy (who is also mouthy) a kick up the backside for being a brat, and appreciate that he had no one else to blame, unless he punched the police woman!!!

ravi the dealer not priya who went made the complaint

But Ravi wanted to know the names of the officers who stopped her, so presumably he was going to storm down to the station. Or do you think he was going to beat them up or kill them. Surely he would not be that stupid.

Strange parenting indeed, Avani is embarrassed and wants to forget about it, but both parents want to make a fuss, if the Walford Gazette hears about it, then the whole of Walford will know.

It was american when she was a teenager

Vicky and family turns up in Walford, in debt, and looking to tap up family for money, yet they can afford three return fares. Ross and son did not know Martin so did not they need to come too. I would risk a small bet they will not be going back any time soon.

I spent so much of this episode trying to remember who was related to who, that I lost the thread of the story.

I have always felt that Eastenders bring back too many characters from the past. My memory of what happened in the past is not good enough when they refer to past history, especially if characters have been recast or when they rewrite history.
