Current Episode Discussion VII

[Joanne]

He can't be seen to get away with it. What message would that send out to any youngsters who may be watching and are going through the same thing themselves?

He has got to be punished.

[Siobhan]

Eastender did a great job with this storyline and I hope we get to see the aftermath, the punishment and tony been brought to justice...

[Abbie]

Another thing that drove it home for me how serious this storyline is was when Bianca explained to Whitney that it was RAPE, even though Whitney consented to it, because she was in love with him. Tony committed a very serious crime.

I know im glad that was brought up, cos I think sometimes people can forget about what different things mean at certain ages

[Dutchgirl]

One thing want to ad is that Bianca wasn't very pedagogical about her approach to Whitney. I hope she gets someone in who knows how to speak to victims of child abuse. It was a bit to confronting for my taste.

Brilliant storyline and acting though.

[Siobhan]

I think Bianca was shocked and just wanted to get it into Whitney head that is was wrong.. I am sure they will have a counceller or someone to help here

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah bianca had just heard that the man she had planned to marry and spend the rest of her life with had been mentally and emotionally abusing her daughter from the tender age of 12 which in any country is rape, she wanted whitney to get this perfect little idea out of her head about her and tony being in love - He abused her, and the sooner she realises the better.

bianca must be going thru it all too thinking she let a paedophile into her home and allowed him to do that and never noticed anything

[Perdita]

I think that nobody is able to do be pedagogical with anybody after just having found out that the boyfriend has been abusing a family member. It would have been a very natural reaction.

[Bad Wolf]

another brilliant episode!!! my heart broke for the kids who didnt understand what was going on,

[Perdita]

I would like to think that families get more support and advice from the police in these cases than was shown tonight. A police officer should have told Whitney about the consequences of her talking to them and those of not talking to them, in a sensitive manner. Bianca shouting at Whitney is understandable under the circumstances but not helping Whitney who is still in love with Tony and won't yet believe that he never loved her but abused her.

[Bryan]

another cracking episode. Eastenders is on top form at the moment.
