Current Episode Discussion VI

[Lizzie Brookes]

To elaborate we all know what Phil is like - hard man, scary etc but of course even Phil would see Steven's not in his right mind - well anyway.

Phil would only be concerned with his garage - he's not going to be understanding at all about Steven pouring petrol all over his place and stood there with a match - the last think he will be thinking, if he finds out it is - poor Steven. Phil wil probably be thinking I'm going to kill him for the damage he has done - not everybody sees Steven in the way you do!

I didn't mean that. Of course Phil would only be concerned with his garage and not at all sympathetic/understanding towards Steven but remember he saw that Stella was insane even if he hated her for what he did to Ben and in Stella's case I have no sympathy whatsoever as she was abusing a child - all I was saying was that it is clear/obvious to anyone that he is losing it, even Phil. Anyone can see it from his behaviour.

Today's episode was good. Loved the Stacey/Steven scenes and Aaron did brilliantly. I knew he couldn't tell her anything about what happened of course but Stacey's advice was good - to concentrate on his friends for now and forget about his family for a bit - it was lovely to see them bonding. I am softening towards Ian now - he does still love Steven as a son despite everything though he should not have broken that snow globe but he is afraid of losing Jane if he forgives Steventoo soon which is understandable. Jane is a total stranger to him but Ian knows Stevenbetter as does Pat, Lucy and Pete - I agree with Ian that Steven would never hurt Lucy. I'm definitely watching again at 10 though there were not as many Steven scenes as I would have liked. I'm glad Jack persuaded Ronnie and Roxy to make up.

it's shaping up to be a very interesting christmas for Eastenders, can't wait

What is it with Max? Peter is only 14. He's not going to be thinking about sex at his age, just because Max is so obsessed with it. Last time he punched Lauren's boyfriend because they were just holding hands. I thought that was a bit petty - Billy getting into troble just for cutting holly from a nearby hedge. There are hedges of holly all over the place - I don't think it's stealing. I wish Billy had told Honey the truth. Good Steven scenes tonight. Heseemed casual and relaxed and did the right thing and ignored Ian but I wish he hadn't lied about his age. He could just have had an orange juice with them in the pub. Looks like Stacey has told Bradley about the petrol incident - I wasn't sure if she would as it is not her secret to tell. Steven seems to prefer older women doesn't he? Getting a bit drunk and flirting with Roxy but Stacey's right to stand by him. The last thing he needs is rejection and she promised she would be his friend even if she couldn't persuade Bradley to. I'm glad Tanya asked Jane to be godmother but i thought it was a bit tactless at first as Jane can't have children.

i haven't read any spoliers, just off the top of my head, but does anyone else see Steven forming a clingy and inappropriate crush on Stacey?

No. I don't think so. He may be clinging to her but only because he needs a friend right now and that is understandable. He has a bond with her now as she stopped him killing himself and he opned up to her a little but I doubt he has a crush. e had a genuine crush on Jane when he was mixed up and he flirted a bit with Roxy tonight. He seems to be more into older women really.

[CrazyLea]

Yeah he is a bit clingy, but I agree with Lizzie. Just friendship I feel. May be wrong of course. But it's his only friend really, when you think about it. She sat down with him and talked to him. Definately a bond (to him). He fancys Roxy though I reckon .

Well the thing about MAx is, I think he is very well, you know anyway, I cant describe it, its something else other than being over protective of his girls which he is. And he really has only had ecperience with girls. I dont know how long he was there for Bradley, plus I dont think at a young age Bradley had much experience with girls

[StarsOfCCTV]

Billy has the worst luck hasn't he?! Although instead of sitting on his bum moping he should just come up with an equally genius plan and work his socks off tommorow!
I think Max reckons all young boys are like him Poor Peter

[Abbie]

Awwww, I feel so sorry for Billy, I dont think his family have been fair to him and I just want to hug him
