Why doesn't Ben hit up his old mate Tubbs for the money? Surely as Ben was his old boss, Tubbs would give him mates rates?

I don't know if it's only me, but I can never decide whether Bobby is a childish man or a manly child. Just something about him.

What age is he supposed to be ? I can’t figure him out either

Lennox Gilbey

Bobby is 16,.. 17 in July.

Exactly, or just threaten to have his goons kill him and his whole family like he did with Martin. He won't have much business around Albert Square if they're all dead now will he? All this just because he misses home. He's acting like he was in solitary confinement for a few months. It's so out of character, and from Ben to a slightly lesser extent, it's a farce.

They should have had a twist that Louise really loves Keanu this whole time and the reason she was cold to him before giving him up to Martin is she wanted to make Keanu think that she had left him for dead as it would be easier for him to leave permanently then. She thought she could handle it but with motherhood and everything realizes that she's not strong enough. She breaks down and says she has to arrange to meet Keanu one last time to see him and let him know the truth, that's a lot more believable of why he's anywhere near there or the Mitchells rather than he misses his mom. Ben and Callum come across them. In a panic Keanu gets out the gun he has on him for protection and grabs Callum and says he also needs money now. Ben talks about killing his whole family but Louise begs him not to and Callum also says to leave them out of it. Ben gives out his shriek.

I'd say Denny is posting the stuff about Bobby

I don't think there's even a doubt. That look Denny gave Bobby when he was chatting with Dotty Cotton said it all.

I'd say Denny is probably going to grow up to be the new Nick Cotton or something. He's definitely got that malicious side to him that he probably will turn out to be a lowlife in the future, and Sharon playing the role of Dot Cotton who can't seem to see past him being her little boy and trying to make excuses for him.

Really bored with Dotty Cotton now. She's a tedious character and now with the drugs, please, we've been here already with her father. What is it with Eastenders and pantomime villains? They aren't even trying with Denny's stories, he honestly believed his mother was having an affair with Bobby and he seriously believes that Dotty Cotton would be interested in him. He should have been written out years ago, he's a one dimensional character, a permanent mummy's boy with more or less the same nasty little coward character over and over again. Maybe when Sharon gives birth and the nurses are cutting the umbilical cord they could sever Denny's one too.

I don't see the problem with being a mummys boy, probably another example of double standards in this world, women are never ridiculed for being a daddys girl but a male is considered pathetic for being close with mother.

A familiar face in the 1992 episodes

In his case he's a wannabe hard man who hides behind his mother's skirts when he bites off more than he can chew but treats her like dirt the rest of the time. No grown woman likes a mummy's boy, no grown man likes a daddy's girl.

Yup it’s been brilliant the past few weeks and next week is even better.

When he went around to see how Whitney was I thought there was a definite vibe of him sniffing around. It will just be silly if they drag out the Leo story line, he broke in, she defended herself, there's a history of him stalking her so there's no need to pretend it's anything other than self defence and anyway, there was barely any blood on the knife and scarcely a drop on his top. Why do they never go out a window?? Of course the doors are going to be locked and why oh why turn your back on the guy who tried to stab you, do they not watch horror movies?

JP Liz V1

We already had Max and Stacey, father in law and daughter in law, no more please

Whitney is so messed up, she does not know real love, falls too quick for guys, she needs friends and family, Mick is like a father to her but I thought she had a spark more with Kush or Martin

Whitney is a piece of work though, after Linda took her into their home and treated her like a daughter she was only too happy to drop her knickers for Mick and she'd not have given a second thought to moving in and taking Linda's place. She can be quite calculating and manipulative but I think it's time her character was axed because this constant round and round of Whitney telling each and every guy she goes out with about how she was abused is just tedious now. We've had the Mick/Whitney affair already and don't need a repeat.



Likewise with the drugs, we already had a really tedious year of drug story lines with Keegan and Denny and the gangs. We've already had the ever miserable Becks struggle with alcohol and overdose on pills. Enough already.

Whitney's been there, done that with windows, when she went out a window to escape Rob years ago.

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on

Enjoyable episode for a change. I've got to say though that boat is a bit like the Tardis, so many people vanishing, so many people sneaking around.

I don't think Sonia was expecting the cops so they must have been there for Martin?
