I missed Mondays but caught last nights. So why has he changed his will? And was ben previously included in it?

It was never explained to my satisfaction (other than the unconvincing story about Mitchell fathers and sons - which doesn't explain why Sharon was cut out anyway).

Is Sharon and Phil divorced so she and Denny should not be in Phil's will?

I think Phil said something also about Louise carrying on the Mitchell name etc., as she could have children where Ben wouldn't as he was gay, I think still deep down Phil cannot accept Ben's sexuality choice

I'm not sure if Phil and Sharon are actually divorced but she's living with him, supporting him, running his affairs and being treated as his wife. Non-married partners can be included in wills too.

I thought it was Sharon who suggested he'd cut Ben out because he was gay. Phil denied it and I believed him. It'd be ridiculous anyway since Ben already has a child (as Phil pointed out) and being gay doesn't prevent him having more. Also, why not leave anything to Lexi? The whole will thing was completely nonsensical.

I saw a suggestion on another site that perhaps Ben had been left out of Phil's will in an attempt to push him away so he wouldn't risk his life by donating his liver. I think that'd make some sense, but it doesn't explain the lunacy of the rest of the will...

I forgot about Lexi maybe it was Sharon who said it was Ben being gay

Nothing to Grant or Sam in the will or his cousins but maybe Phil can sense their demise coming

I have read an interesting post on EastEnders on another site by a great poster who sums things up perfectly on the soap audience of today and imo they are bang on the money.

I am paraphrasing but basically there's a generation of the soap audience who have been programmed to see shocks, twists, stunts and sensationalism as the norm and they can't comprehend normal storytelling. In fact I would add they wouldn't know a character led story line if they fell over it. This would be funny if it wasn't true.

eastenders lately just dont know how to satisfyingly end a sensational storyline or even conclude a normal storyline

the dot storyline is the best written at the moment

i think stacey's mental health storyline was done well

it is nice every now and then to have a shock twist which is incorporated into a running storyline but not for no reason

kathy's return, no arrests for beales over lying and others for lucy's murder all bad decisions

I've taken the liberty of correcting your post for you.

Was that the original Tiffany? I read that it was but landlady dosent believe me .

Lee is sucking the life from the show, just fess up and stop letting Johnny ruin your wedding day...

Phil didnt get paid much that epp if it was down to words spoken. But that shrink would of been paid loads if he was employed at a prison, he took no prisoners and obviously knew Ben had killed in his past.

Yep your right, it is her. She's just all grown up.
