Kyle did tell Stacey in cafe he had two sisters with S names

Whoops I evidently was only half listening . Oh yeah sure wasn't Stacey questioning why he didn't have an S name and all of the other siblings had.

I think I've had an overload of EE misery and it's fried my brain

one Arthur was born just as another one died....was that intentional/symbolic I wonder?

hate to nitpick but you'd think they would sort out the Christmas decorations by now

at first I thought the ''son of god'' angle for stacey was ridiculous but its been played really well. its horrific to think how someone's mental state can deteriorate to the point that they believe what they're saying to be true and based in reality.

SAMTALK

Staceys character being played very well. EE seems to be better since Christmas which is unusual in soaps. Maybe its something to do with the fact that we are getting a break from Ronnie. Have to say Im so tired of her character at this stage and surely theres only so much she can get away with.
Love having Alfie back and getting another break from Mick (still dont like him)

I think they're showing it tonight (which doesn't make a lot of sense)

Edit: It makes sense- FA cup being shown on BBC so RTE still need to fill the slot. Thanks Lisha.

No show on bbc tonight, last nights second show is on rte1 tonight.

Robsweezie

No eastenders on bbc tonight over the football, rte probably showing a repeat, best place for a quick check is the eastenders twitter account, i find it handy rather than root through tv guides and my UPC is too slow to flick through.

Good article on mental health in soaps, with particular reference to Stacey's story http://researchtheheadlines.org/2016/01/08/mental-health-in-television-soaps/

I hope Stacey got Arthur's daddy wrong with her illness and Martin is the real daddy not Kush

Alfie so selfish get help for your tumour and buy a bloody house for your kids to live in

Is it ok to have a young baby like Arthur outside a lot, he doesn't seem to be wearing much,

and he appears to be a wonderful baby, has he cried since she gave birth :rolleyes:

Cookie_Dough

That's obviously because he's the son of God, he doesn't need anything!

Seriously though, he's just thrown into that sling, no blanket or protection from the elements while out in a thunderstorm. Though maybe it's to tie in with Stacey 's mental state. You would think Martin would care though.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing tonight, he's the easiest newborn ever, not a peep out of him! :pac:

Could he not get hypothermia? Has he been allowed to sleep once in a basket or cot, seems like he's being carried around for days....

To us it might be days because we've been watching all week but in the show it's only been a day or so.

I have that sling and it's perfectly save to keep a newborn in, not climb onto a roof with!

January

Those slings are very warm and then there's the body heat of the mother too. I sweated when I wore slings like that.

SweetChaos

They are using different babies for Arthur , for the close ups a darker baby is used and a fair baby is in the sling

masonchat

As someone who has had a psychosis i can say stacey is doing a great job , only i was actually much worse than that before they got me under control

Jordan Johnson is returning to Walford next month but EastEnders bosses have recast the role.
The troubled teenager will now be played by former Doctor Who star Joivan Wade and will be seen in the coming weeks.
His step-mum Denise Fox will track him down after word reaches her of his increasingly bad behaviour. But the local may soon realise she’s taken on more than she can handle as Jordan could prove he’s a chip off the old block.
Talking about taking on the role, Joivan said: “Coming into EastEnders is an absolute dream.
“Jordan is going through a very tough time and needs people in his corner but with a Dad like Lucas will he be able to trust anyone?
“It’s going to be brilliant to play him and I can’t wait to get started.”
Fans were shocked when they saw that Lucas Johnson, played by Don Gilet, make a brief comeback from prison over the festive season.
That’s not the last we have seen of him as he will also be returning to EastEnders this Spring.
