why is alfie confiding in mick another bromance than came out of no where so sick of st. mick as a savoir for everyone

dean and stacey would make a good couple they seem to have a natural chemistry and spark well

It is like Mick has to be incorporated into everyone's storyline

[lizann]

tam was funny best part of the big fire for me

Excellent episode yesterday.

I just can't feel sorry for Alfie though as he put not only his own family at risk but the neighbours too. Also, we were told time and time again how desperate he was without being shown. We saw him ask for jobs in a couple of places in the square, but apart from a very brief mention of the job centre, saw nothing else to prove how desperate he was for a job. We should have been taken on that ride with him in my opinion, so that we felt his despair too. As it is, his actions just come across as extremely stupid and not those of someone driven to the brink.

Poor Kat!

[tammyy2j]

The imagine of Kat burnt in hospital was done well very, it was shocking, sad and striking, well done make up department

[Kim]

Mick should change his occupation from Landlord to Walford Agony Aunt!

We should definitely have seen that. I'm largely feeling sorry about how out of character Alfie has become, rather than sorry for him as a character. We should also have seen following a number of rejections, Alfie almost secure a bar job. He could then have lost out when Phil deliberately gave him a bad reference as a result of the history with Roxy.

Alfie should have thought to check the house again at the very least. There was every chance that someone could have returned while he was at Phil's. The hairspray and Kat's handbag were right in his view when he left. He knew the hairspray sales were slow, so surely he should have realised that there was loads still in the house.

Yep, I totally agree. There was quite a lot of stupidity in the plotting of this storyline in my opinion (which thankfully is more of a rarity in EE nowadays).

so who was spying on fat bald alkie and shirley, ben or dean or sharon

[tammyy2j]

So Max takes in Stacey and Lily but why couldn't Carol and Whitney take her on in they had room as Bianca and the kids left

Kat looked worse tonight

Shirley knows what Phil did to Sharon and she still wants him, she has no respect for herself

Stan was great again in his scenes

[monalisa62003]

I really can't tell what phil's game is. Its really complicated. im not buying he'd treat her this bad after everything he's done for shirley in the past. theyve always had a deep friendship and hes always seemingly cared for her in some way.

I found it weird he had no intention of sleeping with shirl, but then shirl was clearly winding him up in tuesdays ep and todays. he looked annoyed with shirley both days. they've always had this type of r/ship since they split that she'd wind him up if sharon put a foot wrong and wasn't the one for him.

im holding out hope its not as all as it seems, and phil is secretly in love with shirley and he'll leave sharon for shirl last minute. not giving up untill its been shown proof onscreen
