And was that for a local council job?

Does it matter?! Do people watch EE just sooo they can pick out these things? Its a soap, for various and obvious reasons, its not going to be completely accurate/realistic..... I think it manages pretty well overall to balance entertaining its audience, with the level of realism it includes.

I watched Emmerdale the other day and its more like a panto/carry on film these days, yet no one picks that soap to pieces, probably cause they would be spending soooo blooming long doing so. Its a shame EE is the whipping boy of the soaps.

I have to agree PB.

As someone who watches the Aussie soaps, EE is very realistic compared to them .

what, you mean Karl's mission to over-throw a multi-national drugs company with the help of the local vet and a black polo-neck and leather jacket isn;t realistic?!

[Lizzie Brookes]

Yeah it was obvious. I have to side with Lizzie though, I feel sorry for Steven. But he is so not well yet! He still needs help! Can't help but feel for him though!!

How cute were Lauren and Peter!!!

Thanks Crazy Lea. Both mum and myself couldn't help thinking though that Ian's a bit too spiteful - he wants to get one over on Steven just as he keeps doing with phil whereas Jane is worried more than anything and Jane is right to be worried because what Steven did is worrying - it's not a joke. Ian acts as though it is a joke and is all superior because he's clever enough to have worked it out. His stupid smirk. Of course Steven's behaviour on Thursday was appalling but on Friday it was nice of him to buy that bacon for Denise and give Jean the shirt freely etc.

Yep but the reason he gave the T-shirt was to annoy Stacey.
But the bacon was a good gesture.
Lovely how she takes care of her mother and bites her tong in her presence.

[Lizzie Brookes]

Yes I uppose he was doing it partly to annoy Stacey but i am hoping Steven and Jean will genuinely be friends - they both have diferent oblems and it would be good if they could understand and support each other and after this competitiveness blows over if he could find a firm friend in Stacey who has experience dealing with her mum's illness and brother's problems it would be good for him.

Yes, and also he didn't give it freely. He said Stacey could pay for it when she had the money.

[Lizzie Brookes]

Oh yes, Parkerman's right I forgot but are you sure that wasn't a joke?

[parkerman]

Who can be sure of anything where Steven is concerned!?

[Joanne]

I don't think Ian is being very considerate towards Jane's feelings at the moment as he plots his revenge against Steven for accusing him of trashing his stall. Jane is obviously still petrified of Steven, and who can blame her?. Ian should have handled the whole CCTV thing without involving her. Seeing Steven wreck his own stall on the video must have worried Jane as he is obviously still not the full ticket and he is based right outside her back door.

I've got no qualms about anything Ian has done or said to Steven but I do think he should be a bit more discreet where Jane is concerned.
