Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[maidmarian]

tonight's episode felt is wasn't a follow on from yesterday's to me, very bad writing

Well the way things are going - perhaps some
confusion.and films of episodes got in
wrong order??

I liked Carol's exit. OK, it was a bit daft, but it set Carol free from her drudgery - which I found moving. I admit I had to work hard to ignore the fact that she's not interested in fighting for Max even though she believes him innocent.

21 years for max and no one cares

Well I suppose Lauren showed some compassion at last, but it was too little too late. Did she really think the police would take her any more seriously than they took Max without evidence? She could have stayed to fight though instead of slinking back to New Zealand. I'm sure Marcus Christie would have been delighted to hear her story.

I assume that's the last we'll see of Lauren for a while.

lauren should have told marsbar, keeble, marcus, abi and carol and all of the vic then went off back to peter in nz

I'd be happy to never see Lauren again, don't think she can come back from just leaving her dad stay in prison and why didn't she tell Abi the truth or at least another detective like Marsden plus she could mention Phil paying the jury foreman

I was disappointed that no one was talking about Max and Bobby, I expected some to be chatting about it in the pub especially as so many like to gossip

How come Carol didn't question Jane on her alibi for Max and helping him escape to Ireland, was he going to visit Kat and Alfie

Also I would think Tanya would have came up or rang Jane to see if it were true her sleeping with Max, they are best friends

Carol exit on the bike, which was very obvious it wasn't her riding it with that theme was good but her complete 360 turn on innocent Max was out of character but so many characters have changed their minds in this Lucy storyline

And the silence from Liam and Cindy is still deafening.

How did Lauren manage to get a passport so quickly for the baby?

Must have gone to the same passport office as Kat and Alfie did after only paying in the cheque for their scratchcard winnings a week before they left!

**Reply**
I agree with your comments Tamny- also Dazzles
below. Its appalling behaviour from daughter to
father . But if she had done some of things you
suggest -would character be free to leave UK
( giving info to police -might be questioned etc
called as witness)

As actress is an employee**she has a right to
Maternity leave and to return to work after
Maternity leave -latest.date Next feb?? But
thought I read December.??

Cant just sack her!

They also have to explain Peters non return
and whats going to happen to marriage?
So.they decided to bring her back -with her
agreement - for a short while to involve her
in story before full time return.

It could have been done better -but there's
a balance of " rights" and contracts etc.
against story believabilty.

I hope when the character returns fully she
behaves as she should have done orginally
but at least has some involvement/ knowledge!!

**Most actors were treated as self- employed
but long term soap actors are now employees.
Which makes an employer liable to pay NI
for them and can reduce the expenses the
enployee can claim against their tax bill.
So Win Win for government - whichever
party.

Cannot see any conclusion to this storyline other than someone or something causing Bobby to react violently and show his true colours. Such a great shame that what could have been one of the classic soap stories has been spoilt by including so much nonsense over the past months.
