Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[suzewebb]

Loving Jay Mitchell but when I saw him with Max in the cafe all I could think of was - he doesn't half look like Max. The casting of Jay and Abi is great - two lovely young natural actors.

I worry about Jay - he needs a good dose of sun!! any paler and he will start looking like one of the creatures of the night!

Yes he looks sick

The kids who play Jay and Abi are good young actors, and about the only 2 young characters in Eastenders who haven't been preoccupied with booze, sex, crime, being feckless and/or nasty to all and sundry etc, so why the ridiculous proposal storyline? Write something positive for them for once!

I think Jay dont want to be on his own now especially after what Ben did to Heather, he is only one showing remorse and guilt

Abi is all he has he dont want to lose her thats why he proposed

but when you are that age, its all big gestures and not knowing how truly to behave

Jay sees Abi moving away, so makes the big gesture to show her he means to keep with her...

its only when you're old and cynical like Max that you rein that in?

Don't know many 16 year old schoolgirls that have been proposed to - outside of soapland? Given that the trip she's making is for a whole 8 weeks, I think such a "big gesture" represents a daft plotline, to fit in with the stereotypical "Eastenders girl wants to do something positive with her life, so Eastenders male does his best to stop her".

the big gesture doesnt have to be a proposal...?


but at that age when you are 'in love' it is the be all and end all, you cannot imagine not being with each other, and you go ott to show that?

and that aside, it doesnt have to be an Eastenders man that tries to subdue and control his 'woman'...? Bless, they still think we live is a machoistic world when we all know deep down the Matriach is always the leader of the pack......

What is the purpose of this 8 week trip and who is paying for it.?
