Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Dennis tanner]

Who told you you can't criticise Lola and her gramps? If someone told you that then they're wrong. You're welcome to criticise them all you like.

However that really isn't the point we've been discussing is it? What everyone but you is saying is that a social worker wouldn't act the way the social worker in this case is acting. She should be trying to support Lola in keeping the baby. She would not complain about the washing up not being done. She would never inspect Lexi for nappy rash. Social Services would not take Lexi away because Lola was being called in for questioning by the police. All these things just wouldn't happen in the way they are shown in Eastenders. Yes, Lola's background is why Social Services are involved, that's fair enough, but being involved doesn't mean they would do all the outrageous things they are shown doing. Social Services will always try and keep families together. It is something of a soap myth they that are there to take babies away and this storyline only perpetuates that myth.

I agree with everything you have said. It's EE that annoy me
