Current Episode Discussion VII

[Florijo]

I think Tanya's character has changed for the better. I know shes drinking alot but better this than her meekly getting back together with Max. Also they said this would be Tanya's story now which is good as Max/Stacey pretty much hogged the screen all year while Tanya and Bradley did nothing but be totally oblivious and smile daftly.

I hope Tanya gets the upper hand in the end. I'm feeling so sorry for her. Max is pure evil. She should have taken Oscar. Apparently she doesn't breastfeed, not that she should of course. (Sorry that was the mum in me.) It is so easy to make Tanya look bad in Abi and Laurens eyes.
I like how Ronny and Jack are now the chemistry is back where it belongs. Their romance developed to quick before. They do definitely have something .

I know that Lauren and Abi have witnessed some unfortunate scenes, eg. Tanya slapping Max, but surely they know what the break-up is all about - especially Lauren - and I'm sure they would take their mother's side.

Anyone with teenage kids who can help me out here!?

[Jojo]

I think Abi in some sense, I can understand still keeping Max's side as she never really blamed him for anything and tbh I don't think fully understood really what had happened if that makes sense. Lauren though I'm surprised at and would have thought she wouldn't have, and would have stuck with Tanya.

I was shocked when lauren said she hated Tanya since she was the one who first witnessed the DVD in the first place, then set out to shame Max and Stacey, now shes all for Max it doesnt make sense, she's old enough to understand things they way they really are

[Perdita]

I think both girls are rather confused about their own feelings right now, both parents are putting pressure on them and in a way are making them chose between mum and dad; this is wrong. Max was right taking the kids with him after Tanya's birthday party as she was in no fit state to look after them but he should have made sure that they were going home again the day after. He is working all over the place and can't really look after them on a daily basis, Tanya is only working across the square and would be able to look after them if there was an emergency. Both Max and Tanya should stop fighting in front of the girls and not talk badly about each other to them.

I think the Lauren I hate you remark was aimed at the fact she is with Sean Slater and got very drunk.. I don't think it has anything to do with Tanya and Max...
I feel for Tanya, Max is playing dirty and god knows what he has told the kids. Maybe he is blaming Tanya for the breakup, maybe he told the kids that she was with Sean all along.. who knows what poison he is feeding them

My thought exactly, if he is able to poison Tanya with Absinthe then he can poison the girls with bad things about Tanya. I hope he will be dealt with really soon.

Well I know I would side with Tanya, I mean I know you wouldnt want to pick a side really but after all that happened I would feel very strongly again Max, i think the writers are using her drinking and her recent behaviour so they make her kids against her

I thought last night's episode was excellent in trying to explain the way Lauren is thinking at the moment. Much better.
