Current Episode Discussion VI

The deal was that Dawn would give them the baby and get £1,000 a month whilst pregnant, which you might do if someone was doing a surrogate for you, but May and Rob also offered £10,000 upon handover which would mean that they are buying the baby. May is just saying that Dawn is doing a surrogate for them to make the locals think better of her, as you wouldn't want to be seen buying your husband's baby and especially not with the reputation that she has.

I'll catch up with the later part of the week a bit later. I liked the way she was trying to seem nice by beeping the car horn, but being nasty by smirking and not really doing anything to stick up for Ben.

I can understand why May is irritating Rob at the moment but I wish he had not walked out on her for Dawn. That's wrong whichever way you look at it. I know May is too preoccupied with her infertility right now but i can't forget the time she and Rob were all loved up and Rob even begged her not to go to work and pulled her back into bed with him. He doesn't have that same intense relationship with Dawn and anyway Dawn is young, perfectly capable of getting a new boyfriend and has her family. May only has Rob. I know Dawn ended it with Rob but as a wife May's natural reactionwould be to want to know what her husband's up to. Oh well. It just seems like a waste after being married for 10 years for a man to throw away his marriage for a girl young enough to be his daughter. Even Max wouldn't be so daft.

I think that was badly acted, it was as if Rob was leaving May to get some attention, and wouldn't actually stay. It was as if he didn't want May because she was pestering him all the time, especially after she demanded he go back into the flat. It was as if he was worried Dawn might leave him, with the way he threw the laptop on the floor and the tone in which he was speaking; and so was doing it to prove a point to her.

I actually enjoyed the episode. Only thing that annoyed me was, the way Dawn didn't really put up much of a fight against Rob. He called her name, said go away, then they were kissing. Slightly weird if you ask me lol. Loved both Rob and May though . And of course loved Stella, being her usual manipulative self. And thank god - a Max/Stacey free episode .

[Kim]

I thought he was directing that 'go away,' at May? Even if he wasn't, maybe she thought that.

[CrazyLea]

I meant, she said go away. And I don't mean literally "Go away", just something to that effect. She slightly resisted at first, when he came out the house. Like she didn't want to know.

are you sure about that? i thought Dawn was 23-ish and Rob was about 30?

[Lizzie Brookes]

I thought Dawn was 20 and Rob was 35. Hmmm 23 and 30 - well that's a bit better but still she does look really young and it looked to me yesterday as though marriage in the square breaks up merely because the two partners got irritated at each other.

[Lizzie Brookes]

Dwan's totally confusing me.

On Friday she refused to believe a word Rob said and told him to stay out of her life. Yet yesterday she was angry with Mickey for warning hiom to keep away and then rang him to ask if they could talk. If i were Rob and my girlfriend sent out such mixed signals I would be both confused and annoyed.

here here.. don't think I could have taken Stacey/max in this episode.. although Tanya does my head in a lot.. What is with Preeti.. she seems to get into everyone's business.. like with Honey and then yesterday saying to Stella about the magazine she was reading...
Mind you, Stella is fantastic, getting ben to say all that.
