Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[maidmarian]

[QUOTE=Dazzle;829617]What a harrowing episode again. Shabnam's grief feels so real. It went right through me when she screamed at the dinner table. I think I'd have done much the same in her position having to listen to Carmel rambling on so inappropriately about the wedding.

I found Shabnam and Kush's row at the end difficult to watch too. Well done to the actors because it really didn't feel as if they
pretending.

I do feel great sympathy for Shabnam.
As well as dealing with the still birth - which
is very traumatic- I wonder if that has caused
her to think again about the birth of Jade and
all the following events.
Plus Carmel and possibily past problems in
her own family. It must be unbearable for
her.I was very impressed by the interview
the actress gave and she is obviously
determined to give the storyline the seriousess
it deserves.

I believed Kush when he told Carmel he really loves Shabham, I hope they work out

I also believed him, and I was quite surprised because I thought he was still a bit ambivalent about her. I hope they make it too.

Knowing EE, though, they probably won't. :C

Babe and Queenie were selling babies illegally and now both don't look to have any money

[storyseeker1]

The way the episode was going, I was almost starting to think that EE were going to use the same idea twice, by saying that Babe and Queenie were planning to sell Mick as soon as he was born, that everything was set, but then Shirley ended up having twins, and the couple only wanted one and they didn't have time to find another buyer.

I'm loving seeing Aunt Babe again, and I like the fact none of us was able to guess her dark secret. I wonder if they were doing it out of the kindness of their hearts or to make money? I expect it'll turn out to be the latter (although it certainly didn't make them rich as tammyy2j says). I've enjoyed spending time with the Carters again.

EE is back on form at the moment. If only Linda would get justice and Dean would leave (one way or another), I'd be over the moon with it.

I think Masood and Carmel are falling for each other...

That would have been a twist too far after the Kat revelation!

as you say no one guessed Aunt Babes secret and
it is a shocking one. Havent seen Fridays episode yet-
so dont know if any more developments in it?

The writers do seem to have a bit of a trend at
mo of basing stories on.real life events- which
is fair enough I suppose as " There is nothing
new under the sun"

But they also seem to be picking stories from
some time ago but that someone else has relatively
recently made a film/tv prog about.
Canoe man - insurance scams
Selling Babies-Philomena -
Bobbys story - We need to talk about Kevin.
(producer quite up front about that)

none are exact replicas - but might like
to take a story someone else hasnt used
recently. Perhaps it saves money on research!?
