Soaps are supposed to reflect real life though, aren't they? As hard as it may be for someone who relates to whatever is happening I'd imagine it's better if they're getting it right than brushing over it or acting like it's no big deal?

Based on previous posts, I'm not sure what this relates to?

Does Whitney not work in the centre crèche anymore where Cora's daughter (cant think of her name, Dexter's mother) was the boss

Thought it was pretty obvious it relates to the post immediately before it talking about identifying with what's happening on screen.

Ah ok cool..

No, I honestly didn't make the connection cos your post was about whether it should reflect reality or brush over things, but my previous post hadn't mentioned that or been related to that question.

But if you're asking, from my perspective, it is absolutely imperative that they show the reality. If the Harry stuff came back up again and we DIDN'T see Kat go on a downward spiral I'd be fuming. The reality of that stuff coming back up is painful beyond belief, and that needs to be reflected in the story.

Saying I felt conflicted was nothing to do with the question over whether it should be realistic or brushed over, and I wasn't mentioning anything along that lines. There is no doubts that if they are going to cover such stories they need to be realistic.

Tonight's episode has been really well done.

Whitney trying to act serious. Not very impressive.

Didn't she get sacked after all of Denny Rashers and Sharon's shenanigans?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I liked tonight's episode with Linda, Kat, Kim and Shirley in the Vic - I really enjoy those types of episodes...

Whitney is pathetic, talk about clingy!

It was too much to hope for that Lee was going to leave.

Maybe, but I think a lot of people would be the same in her shoes.

Eastenders was amazing last night. I loved when they do night time episodes with a selection of characters. It was really well done with feel more involved with the characters.

Wonder who the guy was in the car following Kat

I think it is something to do with Harry.

Was he not after Kim?


I thought Lee left the army and now he is going back as a bomb disposal expert

Agreed with everyone that last night's episode was great. Though my favourite part was probably Shirley sitting back watching the other three chat as she ate her kebab.

It seemed to be Kat he was looking at and talking about when he made his phone call.

Brilliant

Kim: and he was covered in blood
Linda: did he attack you?
Shirley: I love this lettuce.

Yeah, the casting of Lee and the character himself were a step too far for the Carter clan.Producer got a little greedy and he never really worked! Was far too clammy with the whole lot of them at one stage.

Oh yes I forgot that but didn't Ava get her the job back?

Does she own anything other than hooker boots?

ShazGV

It's lovely to see how delicately they're handling the aftermath of Linda's story line.

How did Social Services have Kat's mobile number?

The actor playing Patrick really deserves more credit than he is getting for his stroke victim depiction. Every stuttered sentence is believable and you almost forget it is only 9 0r 10 months since he suffered the ailment. Great character. One of my favourite ever scenes.......... - > "I love you Yolande, man!!"

Ann22

I too really like Patrick. He's such a gentleman and quite handsome still. I spotted him recently on the chiller '10 Rillington Place' as the man who found John Christie's bodies in the hidden room.

Looks like Roxy and Charlie are "falling in loooooove"

^ And it's SO predictable! I think we've all seen it coming since Ronnie went into a coma. Though they do have far better chemistry together than Roxy & Aleks or Charlie & Ronnie.

Aleks was an idiot to drop his missus for Roxy
