I hope both Paul and New Johnny don't go near Ben

Paul and Johnny could make a nice couple, but I expect Ben will get whoever he wants and not be punished for his treatment of Abi and Louise.

Louise singing Bad Blood was funny

mick should have stopped ben, chucked him out

[Rear window]

I have just caught up. Ben dragging Abi through the pub in just her bra and skirt was a bit naff, where had her uncle gone?

Yes he was angry - but his behaviour with Louise was violent too. Horrid really.

Personally I have no feelings about Abi. As far as I'm concerned, she brought it on herself. I mean, getting together with a guy she knows is gay, lying about being pregnant (which she publicly announced at the Vic too), and sleeping with Lee when she knew she might be sick (and now we know she is). I'm sorry, but I just can't feel sorry for her. Not that Ben is innocent, as he knew he was gay yet still went out with Abi, cheating on her and such.

Yes she has made her bed as they might say and is now finding just how uncomfortable it.

I spose in terms of analysis of the scenes, then the repetition of bringing her back to where she announced it to the world to announce her lies is quite nice.

Do you remember analysing plays at school? We'd be underlining the irony and similies if we had the script.

Ben and Abi were both as bad as each other until last night. Both were using each other, lying, cheating and generally being awful human beings. However, the way Ben publicly humiliated and degraded Abi last night went well beyond any punishment she might have deserved. It was extremely distasteful to watch, and frankly I'm disappointed anybody can say that anyone, no matter their behaviour, could have brought that on themselves.

jay should move out of phil's house before next up phil tries to kiss him

[tammyy2j]

Jay was great tonight telling Phil and Ben some harsh truths and helping Abi, and where was Phil taking her?

I was thinking Phil was going to let slip about innocent Max even though he was sober

Carmel is really annoying me, she should leave Masood alone, he can make his own mind up about Stacey who along with Kush did betray his daughter plus Arthur isn't her first grandchild, did she forget Zaair

Why is Stacey making such an effort with Carmel this soon as I thought Martin didn't want Kush involved

I hope both Paul and New Johnny don't go near Ben

They both deserve so much more. Ben is damaged and this is partly Kathy and Phil's fault. IMO he should still be in prison.

A good episode tonight, ( I knew we would get one eventually,) the new Johnny Ted Reilly, has settled well into the role already.

Jay was the star of the episode for me, Jamie is such an underrated and underused actor. The scenes with Linda and Johnny were touching and I enjoyed the scene with Sharon and Johnny. Mick is still bugging the hell out of me and Harry Reid was awful tonight.

Masood is an ass. Bonnie Langford is proving to be an asset to the show.

All in all, I enjoyed tonights 27 minutes.
