Wasn't Dennis Sharon's brother though.. or half brother, or something?

Dennis was her "brother" by Den, and Sharon is not Den or Angie's natural child as she was fostered. So basically she has no blood link to the Watts bar Dennis' child with her.

Her brothers that have been introduced are related by blood, through her biological mother.

So how long till the 2 half brother & 1 half sisters move to walford

There was always going to be a bit of a lul post the live week. But this drivel with Sharon puts Corrie on a par, almost.

EastEnders to have transgender storyline, to be played by a trans actor

Sharon's biological mother was in it at one time, I've a very vague memory of her standing in the kitchen of her mother's house. The mother at first was talking about how she had been hoping to hear from sharon since sharon's 18th birthday but then introduced Sharon to her other children as her 'friend'. I can't remember the following details except Sharon ended up feeling rejected. It is all hazy so probably around 1990.

That singing in the pub on Friday was an assault on my senses. Seriously how pi$$ed would you be if you'd gone in there for a few pints and a chat with your mates and then ended up paying for the privilege of listening to that rubbish? That should be confined to the living room.

Bit odd, the way Linda left Mick halfway through their romantic special song dance, sung by her ma, to have a nosy as to what was happening with Sharon and her half brother.

Linda doesn't look that much younger than her ma. Her hair and girly coloured outfits help a bit but she grimaces a lot which ages her. I think Mick looks younger than her, too.

where is nancys husband? is he not coming back?

Apparently they aired a different version of the last Peter/Bobby scene in the omnibus this week. They're eating chips outside the chipper and it was more upbeat and there was no mention of Lucy at all.

I guess they filmed the one that aired during the week last minute after the actor who plays Bobby found out, which explains how he hadn't put it together himself if that was filmed months ago.

Nancy isn't married. She was due to get married to Wayne but Mick interrupted the ceremony. Nancy continued to see Wayne but later broke up with him.

He's her ex-boyfriend, never married. I hope he never comes back, totally pointless character IMO except to set up that hilarious scene with Denise kissing fatboy.

Kind of ironic DD doesn't want Mick to be a cheat considering he admitted in an article today to having cheated on his girlfriend "several times" during the last 20 years, most recently last year.

DD is a massive 'housewives favourite'

She was Nigerian in her first incarnation. I assume she will be West Indian this time round.

I forgot about Nancy's illness, her epilepsy

They weren't very subtle about reminding us tonight though! Four references before she had her seizure. As a sufferer of epilepsy, it is good to see it depicted on screen. Nancy's seizure was very realistic. I like the way they have completely forgotten about David's epilepsy on Corrie. Typical of the soap at the moment.

I think it's a good part of Kim's storyline to have in Eastenders that she is having her breast milk pumped for Pearl in the incubator. It's certainly not something I would've known about.

Jesus, Kat & Co have a really sorry existence, don't they? It seems to be just about "managing" and "getting by", so miserable.

Kat is such a great trader and mother.

Stupid childcare lady trying to tell her to calm down.

Sharon has become extremely LESS annoying in last fortnight . Long may it continue. They really need to explain Denny's absence though. Beyond ridiculous at this stage!

Frigga_92

In fairness, if I was Linda I'd be ringing social services too. On the lash while you're supposed to be working/looking after your kids/moaning about money 24/7.

Dot looks like she went to a Spa rather than the Slammer! Yeah, Sharon and Phil doesn't work. She is just so subservient to him and has no function. She works much better as an independent woman.

Linda looks older than her mam!
