Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[maidmarian]

Spoiler:

Of course this is all speculation, but even if Jane does say in Court that she had an affair with Max, surely Lauren would know she is lying to get Max off. So it can't be that....or can it?

that was what I thought I.read a couple of
weeks ago -but couldnt find again and still
havent!- not sure where it was!!

but it doesnt really explain things? possibly
after the revelation but not the current
behaviour??

I really cant understand why Lauren is still staying quite, even Abi thinks Max is guilty

Absolutely, why travel all the way from New Zealand ,(which must have been on Walford Airlines considering health and welfare issues with her condition) and not even attempt to contact the authorities to try and get an innocent man freed from a possible life term who as far as she knows is innocent of the crime. Didn't Lauren and Peter have an understanding with Ian and Jane that they wouldn't say anything unless circumstances arose that would reverse that decision ? If this isn't it ,heaven help us!

Poor Max what ungrateful selfish kids he has, I cant understand why Lauren is letting him go down Charlie should have got away with Matthew, really shocked he left him behind must have been Ronnie's line about him being like Nick when she herself is turning like Archie

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Sorry had to let that out so frustrated with the Lucy murder storyline now. Why have they written that so many people find out but no one is saying anything?!!!

Lauren promised him she'd protect Bobby, but I don't think Peter would agree with what's happening to Max.

Why Lauren is abandoning Max to his fate is easy to figure out: she's disgusted he's allowing Marcus to try to frame Abi. Whether it's believable that Lauren would do this is a totally different question. I think most of us (myself included) would say it's not.

Disown him, never speak to him again, never allow him to see his grandchildren - if she's so disgusted with him. But to allow him to be imprisoned for life for something she knows he's one hundred percent innocent of? I don't buy it for an instant. Lauren wouldn't do that to a stranger in my opinion, let alone her own father.

Charlie should have got away with Matthew, really shocked he left him behind must have been Ronnie's line about him being like Nick when she herself is turning like Archie

I think you're right that Charlie left Matthew because of what Ronnie said about Nick, but as far as I'm concerned it was another example of nonsensical writing in this episode. He was desperate to get Matthew away from Ronnie then changes his mind on a whim at the last moment? While I'm glad Ronnie still has Matthew (because I'm now persuaded she truly loves him), the writing for Charlie's exit was very poor.

I'm disappointed in EE at the moment.

i'm rapidly losing the will to live over the ridiculous Lucy murder story - or at least the will to carry on watching Eastenders. It is descending rapidly into high farce. I'm expecting the next witness to be Brian Rix losing his trousers as he enters the witness box to be questioned by Coco the Clown.....

peter should be back they should have recast

[storyseeker1]

I agree with the part about Charlie just leaving Matt after everything he went through to get him. They should've just had him arrested. Not what I wanted, but at least it would have been a more believable exit.

Lauren sure changed her tune to help Max, although I can understand somewhat. She's most likely just lashing out in anger over what her dad has done to Abi in court. Hopefully, once she's had a chance to cool down, she'll go back to trying to help him. I don't know if I agree with what she said to Jane about "Family". I understand that she believes in people having each other's backs, but personally I think what Jane did is more delusion than it is helping. Bobby is clearly damaged, but she refuses to see it, and is going waaay overboard to protect him.

I'm sick of the murder story myself! This is all just getting too plain stupid.
