Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Splashy]

Martin acting like a blithering ignorant thug again, surprised he didnt drag Stacy out by her hair caveman style.He really reminds me of an ex I kicked because she simply couldnt comprehend mental illness and kept twisting it to be all about her.

Continuity of care, Stacy had a good repor with the carers she had, now shes in a place with screaming babies..could set her back having now to care for Art and can you express milk while on medication?

Car crash drama, while I understand its not real life, I know Im not the only one on here to seethe at the plots inaccuracies and woeful inconsistencies. The weak line by that carer about "we dont have enough money to look after these women" was weird and kinda political coming from the BBC.

Anywho.. Martin who is already unstable will now get more verbaly and physicaly violent.

Sonia really is a vile nasty @@@@

Well my take on the episode was quite different to yours, Splashy. I admit I was very frustrated at Martin's reaction to Stacey's suicidal feelings, but I guess at least him burying his head in the sand and not telling the professionals was in character. He panicked, which is understandable really.

Apart from that I think he's coped well since Stacey went into hospital. He really has gone above and beyond to keep the family together (looking after a young baby on your own is extremely hard work, especially when you're already tired and stressed) and he could easily have palmed off Lily to Jean. I think he's being portrayed as a decent man who has no understanding of mental illness (as so many don't, unfortunately), but he's doing his very best to support Stacey. What's going to happen now he knows the cruel truth about Arthur is anyone's guess...

I liked the psychiatrist's line about not having enough money to treat the women, especially since it's only a few days since I read the headline that there's yet again less money being spent on mental health care. It's unusual for a soap to get political these days, but a perfectly natural thing for a psychiatrist to say in the circumstances.

I guess Martin behaviour's hit a raw nerve with you because of your own unpleasant experiences, Splashy - which is more than understandable!


I'm liking the idea of Kush and Sharon! I can't see it happening though unfortunately.

Oh I thought Martin might get sectioned (or at least collapse cos of the bang on the head)
Music and screaming babies, my idea of hell.

I know it was done as a device to let the viewing audience know what was going on but it did strike me as rather strange that you would take your passport out of your pocket and put it on the car seat next to you.

Anyway, it's all now getting very labyrinthine this back story about relationships before our time in Eastenders. Gavin, Phil and Claudette all getting roped in. Some very dark and dodgy doings in ye olde days obviously......
