Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

I totally agree! It didn't make sense, so the way I explained it to myself whilst watching was that Ian was trying to convince himself just as much as Sharon because he couldn't bear to think of his father cheating (which is why I said in my previous post that I half suspected that he'd sabotaged his DNA sample). Ian's in denial of the possibility and seems to have convinced Sharon too (for the time being).

Do we know Sharons and Ians dates of births/
ages.I tried to find the info a while ago when
I first thought Pete might be the father-but
couldnt.Perhaps dont give info anymore as
it makes retcons easier.

I remember Ian Sharon&Michelle were all
teenagers and at school when EE started
and thought Michelle eldest??
The thing that made me think Pete not likely
was it would prob mean affair when married
to Kathy. With his previous wife yes- more
doubtful with Kathy.
As story progresses -Pete does seem.most
likely?

According to Wiki, Ian was 15 when EE started and Sharon was 14.

P.S. Michelle was also 15 when EE started.

Kathy. (Ian's mum) Who will be rising from the dead soon.

Jessie Wallace amazing tonight. Very raw.

The only downside for me was Phil. A Tough nut? my eye! Sean Tully from Coronation Street is more menacing. In the real world he would get a good slap! Why does Billy know about Kaff?

[Dazzle]

Very believable scenes from Jessie tonight, I could really feel her pain. What were Mo, Stacey and Alfie thinking???!!!!

Alfie really is a little sh*t! I hate him more than I do Phil because the writers appear to think we love him and are on his side. Phil is a thug and a bully, but at least he's written as such. Alfie's supposed to be this well-meaning chancer who sometimes makes bad decisions, but all I see is a selfish narcissist who always makes everything about himself and goes to great lengths to portray himself in the best possible light. He only confessed about the money because he was caught out...

Did anyone catch what Ben was looking at on his phone? He was looking at a site called Crusadr, which I assume is EastEnders' version of Grindr (the gay hook-up app)! So much for Ben and Abi being serious...

Sharon needs to lay down the law and stop Phil treating her like dirt. He puts her down and undermines her at every turn. I know it's in character that he treats his women that way, but Sharon needs to show that she won't put up with it if the writers want us to take the couple seriously.

I really like that Max isn't scared of Phil so I hope he doesn't cave at the first hurdle. Phil's bluffing, but does Max know that?

According to Wiki, Ian was 15 when EE started and Sharon was 14.

Which gives credence to my suspicion that Ian's in denial about the possibility of his father having an affair. If it did happen, Kathy would have been pregnant or Ian a small baby when Peter cheated, which no child would be happy to discover.

Anyone else feel an episode was missing between Thursday and Friday's last week so much happened off screen for my liking

I hate the family comes first etc., motto of the Mitchells and why did Sharon take back the money that Phil gave out from Grant especially as Lola and Billy could do with it Charlie's father and mother land Phil in jail and Charlie is invited to the family lunch oh wait I forgot now he is family as he married Ronnie and slept with Roxy

I hope Cora and Stan get married for what time he has left

When did Alfie and Martin become such good mates, Alfie needs to put his own family first

I prefer Kat on her own away from Alfie, too much has gone on with them to salvage and repair their relationship imo

Sharon needs a hair cut and to get rid of those extensions

Abi is becoming my favourite character lately love her lines but she is deluded with Ben, he online looking at guys
