Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

Does Cindy not want Beth now?

And we have another broke person in Eastenders in Martin who now lives in his van

I don't think Tina is very maternal (with Zsa Zsa her own daughter at least) so why is she giving Sonia advice on Chloe/Rebecca again Tina and Sonia as a couple don't work imo

It was good to see Ian and Jane back in last night's episode. After Cindy's lines about not wanting to be a mother, I initially thought that Ian and Jane might end up adopting Beth but I saw someone come up with what I think's a better idea - that they adopt Cindy so that Beth is their legal granddaughter and that they take care of them both. That would give Cindy more security and give Jane some happiness too.

I hate relationship merry-go-round type stories and we had two last night!

The Shabnam and Kush story was the more interesting because I find them both compelling characters and because their story actually moved forward. I still don't understand Shabnam's desperation to marry after such a short time though. I think the actor who plays Kush has proved himself to be a very good actor, especially in the scene where he broke down. I thought his crying was nearly on a par with Adam Woodyatt's!

Sonia and Tina's relationship just went full circle last night, which I find very boring (even though I like the couple).

I felt quite sorry for Martin as it seems he's lost everything. I'm sure he'll be living on the square and working on the fruit and veg stall before long though. Another character going full circle - but this one feels right somehow.

So who paid Alfie for his day's work? Did Aleks pay him out if his own pocket?

And who was that boy in Sharon's house? I'm sure I recognised him from somewhere.

I think he had been let out of the cupboard.

Tuesday's EastEnders with all the talk of incest seemed a bit like a grubby version of Brookside.

Exactly! But that job is a Council job and there is no way Alfie could have gone through the Council's bureaucratic recruitment process in ten minutes, been given a job (and a uniform) and placed on the pay roll.

Hardly! Incest has been ruled out now though, thankfully. I'm very intrigued as to who Sharon's real father is/was.

Ughhh...hints about Alfie and the lottery. I'm hoping he won't last long on the fruit and veg stall as that's Martin's rightful place.

I'm glad Masood brought up the unpalatable truth that Shabnam will likely be judged by many of her fellow Muslims for her relationship far more harshly than Kush will.

I'm guessing baby Beth won't be alone in the park for long. I'm a bit confused at the moment as to whether Cindy really wants her or not. She seems to prevaricate between loving her and being jealous of her bond with Jane, and not wanting to be her mother at all. I don't think she knows herself.

Cindy was managing and bonding fine with baby Beth before Ian and Jane took her away in holiday and now all of a sudden she don't want her
