A&E is not the place to take a mentally unwell person... you dial 999 and explain the issue and they will make sure of mental health care ..Jean knew that but would Martin listen. As for trying to rationalise with a suffering soul, is Martin really that stupid?

I rate this epp as ....aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh x 10

If the glass barrier had caused a cut it would have been a blinking nightmare.

Did Kush and Shabs know that Martin was going to smash their glasses and then litter the pieces all over their floor!?

As I've mentioned, I've been avoiding the Stacey storyline, but I watched the scenes where Martin persuaded her to go to the hospital. I was worrying the writers were making it look possible to rationalise with someone who's delusional! Luckily, it was made clear later that Stacey is still completely out of touch with reality - despite the moment of clarity when she realised she's ill.

Yes, a crowded and rowdy place like an ER would be one of the worst places to take someone as scared as Stacey...

You're in the right place today!

I'm pretty sure they didn't.

What a daft thing to do getting an unwell woman who's holding a baby to start smashing glasses! I thought he was just going to put a row of (intact) glasses between them.

Are we going to have a Rent boy storyline with Paul????

It will be interesting to see how this pans out with Paul. I think they could do the storyline justice. I think Paul has issues.

A powerful episode. The acting from Stacey and Martin was very good. Patrick keep away from Claudette. She will eat you alive, I don't want you to keel over and have a heart attack.

One niggle those camera angles and stunts. Not needed. Rely on the writing and the acting, simple really. Did the fog machine work over time in Walford?

The encounter between Paul and his admirer in the alley completely passed me by until I saw it mentioned elsewhere.

It's time Paul got his own storyline. I like the actor and want to see the character given some development.

Patrick keep away from Claudette. She will eat you alive, I don't want you to keel over and have a heart attack.

I enjoyed the not-so-subtle double entendres between Claudette and Patrick.

really thought stacey was going to tell dr that god choose kush as father vessel in front of martin

A very raw emotional episode. Only spoilt by Ryan's return. Why did Ryan have to return???? Whitney you *********g bitch!!!!! How can Ryan be any good to Lilly, he is on the run, a murderer. Go to Milton Keynes with the other puffer jacket trash.

Again Lacey Turner proved her worth as did James Bye. I am actually liking Alfie since his return this time. I never thought I would say that. EE has had a very strong week.

NB - A lovely cameo appearance by Carolyn Pickles Playing the physiatrist beautifully.

Sublime episode of EastEnders tonight!

Stacey's receiving the help she needs at long last. Lacey and James were on top form (as was Carolyn Pickles).

Paul, Pam and Les got some decent screen time.

I even enjoyed Kat and Alfie's scenes (I'm not usually a big fan).

Plus yet another surprise appearance! (I enjoyed seeing Ryan again even though I was dumbfounded at first by Whitney's betrayal. However, I suppose it makes sense that her first loyalty would be to her brother if she thinks his daughter needs him.)

DTC is spoiling us.
