Current Episode Discussion VI

[LostVoodoo]

me and my family are taking bets on whether May's going to go on a killing spree sometime soon...seriously when Dawn walked into that nursery you just realised how creepy May's become. she almost as bad as Ben!

What I couldn't understand about the Rob/May/Dawn storyline was why Rob lied to May during the week about having to work late at the office. If the affair was her idea why didn't he just tell her that he was seeing Dawn?

Im not really sure, someone said earlier it was her idea, in that case I missed that episode.

Exactly parkerman - if it was May's idea in the first place to re-ignite the affair, then why lie about his whereabouts?! Seems a bit strange.

Yeah very odd.

I didn't watch much this week, so i'm catching up with the ominibous.

I think Jay and Bert's relationship, is going to be the making of Bert's character. Jay is so fab. I like him. You have to have a tearaway teen in EE. Darren is a different kind of tearaway, a bit more intelligent.

Liking Squiggle and Darren. Be good if something developed there.

Surely it couldn't be because the Eastenders scriptwriters got it wrong...they are usually so good on continuity...ahem

I was thinking that that might have been for Dawn's benefit; having her think that May nearly found out about them, but obviously she wasn't too pleased about that. I don't feel sorry for May at all at the moment - restarting an affair to keep a baby would obviously involve physical contact; Dawn would be straight off down the abortion clinic if Rob tried "It might hurt the baby," or something.

[Jojo]

Yes but Dawn wasn't in the room when Rob told May he was working late, so if it was part of the big plan, why did he lie to her - why wasn't he upfront about it. I could understand it if Dawn was around then, in the vicinity or whatever, but it was just the two of them, in their flat, on their own. Thats why it didn't make sense to me.

[Richie_lecturer]

To be honest Ems, none of it makes sense!

It was for us Em.. so that we would think she didn't know but it could have been code for them too.. She might not what to hear "oh I am going to sleep with Dawn tonight" so they used " I am going to be working late" do lessen the affect (possible? )
