Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

Shabnam: "I just can't help thinking something is going to happen to her (Jade)."

Ever get the feeling that EE has just given us a premonition?

Gavin has well and truly brainwashed Kathy, hasn't he? I mean, he's kidnapped Phil, threatened his life, and yet she's making excuses for him! Wake up, Kathy!! When a guy gets mad and shouts, that's when they're not themselves. What Gavin is, is a full blown psycho!

I'm feeling sorry for Ian being so happily oblivious that Kathy's planning to run out on him again. I think you're right MM that Ian's been written like this because he's going to break down completely at some point. He was at rock bottom a couple of days ago and it's not going to take much to send him back there. He seems heavily invested in Kathy making him happy again, whereas we know she's only going to add to his problems. I understand Kathy's worried sick about Phil's safety and is being manipulated by Gavin, but she doesn't seem too worried about her sons' welfare if she disappears again.

I like Roxy's new hair cut despite how it came about. I hope she's starting to catch on to Dean's true personality now, although allowing him to change her wardrobe isn't a good sign...

And shabnam is being a bit creepy.

I don't know if you read the interview I recently posted on the Shabnam Masood thread. In it, Rakhee Thakrar mentions that parents of stillborn children often start worrying excessively about their other children's safety after losing their babies. She's desperate to keep Jade safe, plus she's probably longing to bond with her now her maternal feelings have been awoken.

I'm glad to hear that Gavin is very logical because nothing else in this storyline is!

Roxy for Dean's next victim?

Dean's a scumbag, Dean goes for sabotage.. It's like they're deliberately avoiding the use of the word rapist. Elaine and Mick would definitely call him a dirty rapist.

linda should used immortal words get out of my pub to dean

For once Roxy should stop chasing men and put Amy first

Is Amy still in France?

Dot should try and contact Yvonne to see if Charlie is really with her instead of believing Ronnie's lies

Is Amy still in France?

I think Amy is with Denny....

I'm not sure if that was deliberate or not. I'm sure Mick's called Dean a dirty rapist several times in the past - at least I can clearly hear him say it in my head.

If I were Roxy I certainly wouldn't have let Dean loose on my hair!

I like her new cut

I enjoyed Donna's scenes tonight. It's good to see life for the physically disabled explored. I hope Fats changes his mind and realises it's only fear that's holding him back.

I noticed lots of surreptitious glances being exchanged between Stacey and Kush...

The incongruous duff duff of Les in his Y-fronts seems to me to add more fuel to the theory that he's a cross-dresser. I paused the scene (only to examine the background I swear ), and behind him were lots of bags that looked like they were from ladies' boutiques.

I fear Shabnam spending the day with Jade won't go down well when she's inevitably found out by social services (admittedly for good reason). However, I really want to see them reunited for good. Jade needs someone to love her.
