Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

I found the scene at the train station where Kathy saw Ian and Sharon ridiculous to be honest she was only a few feet away from them

It was a bit ridiculous because it was so contrived (and because I knew Ian wouldn't see Kathy yet), but I couldn't help but feel tense anyway.

Monday's episode was very well written but there were a couple of OMG moments for me:

Firstly, Stacey asking Ronnie if she'd ever done the wrong thing for the right reason immediately made me think she's lying about Martin being the father (and even worse that the baby's probably Kush's ). It would explain why she's so reluctant to get Martin involved with the pregnancy. I really, really hope I've got the wrong end of the stick or I'll be very cross!

Secondly, Phil saying Kathy and Gavin faked their deaths for the insurance money! There better damn well be a more imaginative explanation (that Phil's still in the dark about) to explain why Kathy would do something so out of character as to abandon her sons...

I liked what Ronnie said about it all blowing up in Phil's face. He's known Kathy's alive for three years! How could Ben ever forgive him for keeping that knowledge from him?

On one level I can believe its "just" insurance
money but on the other if it is -its going to
be a real.let-down.
Apart from as you say -it being out of
character for Kathy -its just such a boring
mundane reason.
Various people inc Adam Woodyatt said
things like dramatic/all fitting together
and making sense/ something you wouldnt
think of( cant remember all)
so I thought it was going to be totally
unexpected and for once was content to
let it unfold-but insurance!!??

Not usually keen on Ronnie but liked
her tonight.

And you are probably right about Stacey-
unless shes thinking of termination -
but not likely and possibly too late!

Ronnie mentioned the canoe guy who faked his death for the insurance (and appears to have had no conscience about abandoning his sons) tonight, so at least there's a real-life precedence for such selfish behaviour. However, I'm hoping DTC realises most EE fans won't accept Kathy willingly abandoning Ian and Ben.

I don't really mind if the explanation's "bonkers" as long as it doesn't mean Kathy acted totally out of character. The Kathy we knew would never have willingly left a young Ben in Phil's care.

I hope Martin is the father of Stacey's baby and not Kush

I like new Martin more and more plus him and Stacey are a good match

What happened Martin's hand, is this for storyline or a real life incident?
