Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Splashy]

Martin being the self obsessed drama queen to the end. His moving Stacy to a baby unit has caused suffering, especially now hes bailed on her. At minimum for a mentally unwell lady he should of maned up and sent Kush in.

Threatening Kushs life with his car summed up the thug, Arthur was a meek lovely man, ok you couldnt trust him with ya crimbo dosh but how did he sire this tool.

Anyway, no julia theme so im guessing the numpty will be back.

bye bye martin

has stacey forgot lily, martin basically ends their relationship and she never asks about lily

martin should have ran over kush

Bex has got more common sense in her finger nail than Sonia has in her whole body.

I agree I wish Martin had mowed down Kush. It is such a shame they had to have Kush as the dad storyline. It has not really added anything to the storyline imo. James Bye has really come into his own.

I thought the Hubbards spoilt the episode tonight and I am so fed up of Syrup head.

I'm sorry but I just have no respect for Martin. I get he's gone through a traumatic ordeal, and finding out the baby he thought was his isn't, is a kick to the head...but leaving Bex, his own daughter, and Lily, a sweet little girl who's coping with her mother being crazy and gone, after they tell him they love him etc...I just find that despicable. And he took Son's car an' all! She needs that for work, you moron!

Furthermore, what I'd like to know is where did he get the money to go abroad and everything. He win the lottery when we weren't looking?

Does Gavin have connections with everyone on the square? What could he have on Claudette? Theories? My guess is, it's something to do with her supposedly late husband.

Claudette, is lieing about her hubbys death and thingy knows it...plus Im guessing shes offt bods like Ronnie has done pre now.

Threatening Kushs life with his car summed up the thug

Martin didn't actually threaten Kush's life though. He thought about it for a split second (and who hasn't thought about committing murder once in a while? ).

He was extremely restrained considering the seismic shift his world's just undergone. He's in shock and not thinking straight.

Bit in bold: that's a huge understatement!

This being a soap, when actors have breaks (which I'm assuming this is), their characters undergo something traumatic and then flee halfway around the world with a rucksack. The kind of loving man Martin's been portrayed as recently wouldn't have deserted his kids without a word, so I'm choosing to put it down to a lazy soap cliche rather than blame the character.

Bex has got more common sense in her finger nail than Sonia has in her whole body.

Bex is turning into a really good character and I hope we're going to see more of her in future. I think Sonia's been pretty decent recently too though.

Claudette, is lieing about her hubbys death and thingy knows it...plus Im guessing shes offt bods like Ronnie has done pre now.

Claudette's already offed Fatboy since moving to the square. In my opinion she's wholly responsible for his death and, even worse, has absolutely no remorse about it (unlike Ronnie, until Vincent lied to her about it).

I am very excited about the prospect of Gavin getting his comeuppance at the hands of Gangster Mrs Hubbarb. That'd be fantastic.

Her stabbing the bouncy castle was erm amusing but a tiny bit sinister.

I wondered if the passport was Martins. Did he look in the box from Kyle(? I really am shocking at names) - not that it says in it if you transition. But maybe it's the girl he used to be passport.
I was hoping Martin was going back to see Stacey and that he will say he loves her and will stay with her even if the baby isn't his.
Why would he go to the airport in a car? And not his car either. Maybe he's still not thinking straight.

I did think Bex was looking really out of sorts - the weight of the world on her shoulders. Tina has really been nice though recently.

I want Stacey to know the truth about Kyle as it'll help unknot a few things maybe in her head. The confusion over who he is probably has not been good for her.

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......

I was thinking could Martin maybe attempt suicide, I thought maybe the passport was of Kyle when he was a woman and not Martin's passport

I still feel sorry for Martin, he is crushed, he loves little baby Arthur as his son plus named after his father

Martin and Sonia didn't get Bex back until she was older whereas he has bonded with Arthur since his birth

I know Stacey is ill but her writing the letter to Martin was cruel I think, she loves him and their family unit and now destroys it

I do hope there is a twist and Martin is really Arthur's dad

I think this Martin and Stacey make a believable couple with chemistry, thanks to Lacy and James so I hope he is back soon
