Pauline Fowlers Death

[Kim]

I know it's hard to picture jim as a murderer after recent years but he has had a history of being nasty. When he came in wasn't he an old racist? Plus it's been hinted at through his relationship with his son that he used to quite cruel. That's not to say I think he did it...I just don't think it's hugely far fetched.

I Find This Storyline Really Stupid. If It Was Joe That Killed Pauline Would He Come Back To Walford Just To Get Caught? I Also Think Jim Will Not Push Him That Is Just Stupid Don't Think Jim Will Kill Him Mind You. The Whole StoryLines Confusing Me Now!

If someone is racist, I think they'd stay that way, so he wouldn't be mates with Patrick, or have been his best man. I think if Joe did it, it would have been better to come back, 'cause he didn't leave that long before she died, so, for all we know, he could of been planning it. Being her husband, he's a key part of it, so he's showing himself as not guilty, and if he didn't return, it would just be a copy of Terry from Emmerdale, so the whole thing would just be too much of an obvious copy.

Jim...a murderer??!!!
to be perfectly honest....what else would they do with Joe if they didn't kill him off?? Now Pauline's dead and buried, he has no purpose!

only problem I have with this comment , is Pauline has NOT been buried yet, they had to yank her back out of the crematorium for a PM, then had a PRAYER/MEMORIAL service for her this past Friday( no funeral ), so she ain't buried yet

She isn't being buried at all, and it's not as if he'd have had much point at the memorial service, 'cause it wasn't the funeral and Pauline didn't actually love him, so I guess it would save EE some money; there's no point having him on a long term contract, after all. Pauline is being cremated, I guess as a way to build the suspense over whether the police would actually stop the funeral, because if it was burial, they could come back and dig her up later.

In real life yeah :P but characters in soaps tend to mellow...well I guess in real life they do SOMETIMES. I feel like I'm being picky here...I'm not really I'm procrastinating :P

I'm procrastinating :P

You can get treatment for that now you know...

Copy cat storyline. No doubt there will be a whodunnit on the BBC site just like on the ITV one. O.K sounds good in theory but I can't see Easties carrying it off as well as Emmerdale.

It would of been better if Joe had died of a head injury following the wallop over the head Pauline gave him with the plate, which is the route I thought they would go down.

can we stop with the whole copycat thing, all soaps copy each other, its annoying but its hardly like Eastenders was the first to do so.

Its not the copying of another soap but such an improbable storyline that gets to me

[Chris_2k11]

How do we know EE copied Emmerdale? For all we know it could have been the other way round.. it all depends on when the storylines were thought up.

exaclty chris, it just so happens Edale showed Tom King first. You never know when Ray decided to anounce he was leaving, it could have been a long time before for all we now. Its also a bit different as its linking with another murder and theres actually a reason. we cant really see the simularitys until the episode is aired as well.
