Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

After all that build up are we not going to find out who Sharon's dad is?

Of course we are! They're not going to waste an important character like Sharon's real father. They're just making us hang on a bit longer.

There's speculation that her father is Kathy's husband (they're both called Gavin) but I suspect it might be the new transgender character. Admittedly it's a coincidence that both characters are called Gavin but as far as I know they were named years ago and completely separately so it could be a genuine coincidence. If Sharon's father does turn out to be the transgender character she'll no longer be called Gavin anyway.

So does anyone believe Phil that there'll be no more games?

I love how the Beales are fracturing under the strain of keeping their secret. I'm surprised they gave Beth up so easily but I suppose their priority is keeping Bobby safe. They're setting themselves up for a big fall there!

Lovely scene between Pam and Paul.

Was any contact made with Social Services re Beth changing home ? With this storyline and the others forecast, EE should have some good viewing coming up, fingers crossed.

Nothing was said but no doubt Ian and Jane will inform Social Services that Beth's now living with her father.

Why would you not go and see your father just because you thought he might be rich? Seems a good reason to see him!

I can imagine that some people would feel overawed by it and it makes it worse if you have never had any contact before ...

Looks like Ian and Jane don't care about Cindy only Beth as Ian kicked her out

I wonder will Cindy move in with Carol and Liam now

So Pam helped her son to die, glad we finally know now, her scenes with Paul are quite sweet and touching

I don't think Roxy's tears were for Nick! Why is she (and Charlie) stupid enough to go behind Ronnie's back?

Paul didn't have any qualms about taking Lola's job. She was an idiot to just walk off like that, but I thought she deserved a warning not the sack.

The competition between Sharon and Kim to manage The Albert is a bit silly. I thought Vincent had already agreed that Sharon run it. I realise he's letting Kim have her way to keep the peace (and thinks Sharon will win anyway) but he had the perfect excuse that he and Sharon had already reached an agreement.

However, it's good to see Phil backing Sharon instead of undermining her for once.
