Current Episode Discussion V

[alan45]

we had a true Eastenders style cliffhanger with the police turning up.

And a very stupid cliffhanger as well. The entire fallout of Pauline's death, and the funeral itself has been absolutely pathetic. No way would what happened last night happen in real life, re. the police turning up, no proper post-mortem. Awful.

Quite true Richie. Appalling that no-one bothered to research this story properly.

Who decided it was a Brain Hemorage. What caused the Brain Hemorage

Fact - The funeral could NOT have taken place without a death certificate being issued or permission from the coroner.

Fact - In the event of a sudden or unexpected death such as Pauline's there would almost certainly have been a post mortem carried out.

Interesting point - Walford Council must be the only council in the UK to permit funerals on New Years Day

I think the Metopolitan Police would have handled matters better than that.

All that said I think Sarah Phelps mad the best of the poor storyline

I thought the writers would have learnt their lessons from the poor way in which Barry's death was handled

Obviously the law does not apply in EE Land

Considering your point there. Was there not a post mortem then? Cause how are the police going to arrest someone for her death, if there's no evidence or anything to say "so and so caused/killed her"?

Spoiler:

Also, if it's true that Sonia didn't cause the death, that someone poisoned her, again how are they gonna prove that is the case?

Am I making sense Makes more sense in my head, than written down!

Had a post mortem been carried out then the cause of death would have been established. If it was a suspicious death then further enquiries would have been made and an inquest held. Blood tests would also have been carried out as well and these would have established if Pauline had been poisoned

Yep it was well written, but once again the EE sciptwriters who seem to live on another planet, made sure Pauline's exit and funeral was a complete sham.

As usual it's upto the old-school writers to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear

Hello again everyone...

I was away on holiday over Christmas and the New Year but I did record the episodes on Sky+ and have just caught up with both the episodes and the discussion on here. Probably to nobody's surprise, I tend to agree with Richie and Alan. I think they should have got in the scriptwriters from The Bill to handle the last couple of episodes, they might have been a bit more realistic then!

Actually I have to say I thought Kellie Shirley (Carly) did really well as did Linda Henry (Shirley). I am not impressed with the Max and Stacey storyline Why would Tanya tell Max to go and see Stacey home? She looked ok and, in any case, only lives over the Square.

For me the overall cheesiest and absolutely the worst moment over the festive period was the snow on Christmas Day. How obvious and cliched was that? It shows a complete vacuity of ideas and completely spoilt the whole episode in my opinion.
