Alright episode last night. Not as good as any of last weeks but it kept the ball rolling...

It did and definitely wasn't as good as last week's.
Maybe Kevin's secret it he's not their father.

Richie would be too smart for Phil, IMO - he likes them on the vulnerable side, like that awful squawking Lisa who followed him around squealing his name all day long before she finally went over the edge. Phil could probably subtly manipulate Stella without too much trouble (got her pulling pints already!)
As for Phil saying that Sonia was a mate of his? Huh? Since when? They couldn't stand one another - Sonia helped Lisa to abscond with Phil's baby Louise when she first left Walford, and then when Martin ran over and killed Jamie Mitchell, Phil was far from impressed when she ran off and married the manslaughtering moron.
As for Naomi - I'd forgotten about her too, she could have been written out last year and I wouldn't have noticed.
The Dawn/Rob/May rent-a-womb boredom will just dra-a-a-g on and on until Dawn realises she's being used and does something spiteful likes putting the baby up for adoption by total strangers or runs away to the Cotswolds to be with Rosie and Demi.
Bradley was weedier than usual, trying to brag about his new girlfriend and still sounding too polite to be true, but really he was only thinking that he can now have Sonia's room!
Is Bert still staying at Pat's? He was absent from all the tender reunion scenes. And when can we expect his bloody awful grandson to turn up?

And how come Joe never said when he came back "What's happened to your beard?"

Poor Sonia. I really feel sorry for her. If the fruit bowl is what did it then it would have been an accident. Did Pauline bang her head or was there another blow delivered before or later? Maybe it was before and the knock she took from Sonia was the catalyst. At least this won't drag on as long as Emmerdale.

I wish they'd axe Dawn, May and Rob or all of them. They're boring me.
Poor Sonia. That was quite a twist at the end. I was expecting Martin to catch Sonia with Rebecca and all hell break loose. It's looking like Sonia did it by the way she's gone on the run but if she had, it couldn't be over next month. Joe's car broke down? Guilty conscience?

Where is an on-the-run suspected murderess going to hide with a 5 year old girl with no money, nowhere to stay etc? Phil Mitchell cannot arrange a permanent new life for the two of them - he's not powerful enough, and if he were he would have taken himself more than once, what with all the trouble he's been in in the past.

It is very silly. The ports and airports would be alerted too and I don't think Sonia has Rebecca's passport (even if she's actually got one).

Well...er...Kevin's temper came to the fore with Deano.
Rob and Yawn.

Quite liked the fight between Deano and Stacy - it livened up an otherwise dull episode.
Stacy and Max cannodling in the gents - ewwww!
Keef gets more repulsive by the day - somebody please shave him all over and put him in some clean clothes (and a job).
Deano crashing the car - all a bit of a James Dean cliche, hope Kevin punishes the dozy little twonk.

Yeah why doesn't Stacey say, "Phew it don't half pong in here?" (squelch, squelch).
Maybe this is now where Kevin's secret comes out.

Glad to see Pat back.
Good episode tonight I thought. Nice to have a break from the Fowler saga

Definitely. And when the bad penny Shirley turned up at the end it was classic. Roll on Thursday!

Stella is showing signs of getting fed up with playing second fiddle to Flipper (sorry, but Ben just looks to me like a dolphin).
Finally Garry and Minty do something serious and useful - helping out at the scene of the car crash. Typical they tried to get a free pint out of it.
I had forgotten about Naomi, and now it looks like they've written her in a girlfriend for something to do. Hopefully this one is not married and doesn't have a previously abandonned child to deal with.
Shame on Max! Not only is he banging a girl young enough to be his daughter against a bog wall - but meanwhile his actual daughter is wandering the streets getting knocked down. Tanya - kick him out now!!

What a waste of a chicken. And how come it was the only thing in the bin when she threw it in?
Super Mints! Chelsea's acting was dreadful in all of those scenes and it's obvious she phoned Shirley.
Max will talk his way out of it. Mind you Abi's acting was bad too when she was meant to be crying in pain. Did you notice she kept looking to the side like she was getting instructions?

I'm glad that Pat is back (as jessi said) - just in time to be at the centre of the action between Shirley and Kevin. Loved the scene where Shirley arrived at the end of Tuesday's episode. Fights galore tomorrow night IMO. Totally agree with Patsy re Chelsea's acting. How she got the job I do not know!
I'm also happy that Naomi is getting something to do. A new girlfriend and a potential moving house in the same week? She will be worn out with all this excitement. It would be good to see her happy with someone though (for a week or two, I'm not expecting a miracle or anything as this is EE we are talking about!).
Stella's dark side is gradually coming out, especially with her attempts to get information from Ben about Phil's friends. Some of you already suggested she might be about to hit him, and I think this could be what they are building up to. She never seems to be working much these days, does she? Or did I miss something? Has she quit her job?
Max and Stacey in the toilets - again! Yuck. How they don't get caught I do not know. Her fight with Deano was hilarious though. And poor Bradders. Good that he and Lydia are going out now. I wonder will Lydia be moving on to the Sqaure - as it would be realistic to have commuters living on the Square.

No idea. She was dreadful in the car banging on the window. It was like she didn't want to hurt herself. LOL! Naomi will probably disappear for a few months again so we'll forget she exists. It looks that way. She was really annoyed Phil spent so much time with Ben. Ben is winning. I don't think she has quit her job. Maybe she's having time off for anger management courses. Patsy

This dark secret of Shirley's had better be bloody good - the way they're dragging it out. Thinking about it - violence is a bit obvious, as is her likelhood of being a slag. I think the twist might lie in the kids' parentage. Maybe Kevin could not have kids - so Shirley had to turn elsewhere for insemination while Kevin turned a blind eye and brought the kids up as his own? It's a theory... (Meanwhile - can't the past it old scrag cover her legs up?)
The Naomi girlfriend/ mortgage advisor mix up - side-splitting (not).
Phil's birthday party - don't care. They should not have trusted a little kid with such a secret anyway - he was bound to blab.

It is, Pearly. And we mentioned the possibility Kevin wasn't their dad before so it would be a pretty crap secret. It has to be something really juicy after all this.
Phil, Stella and Ben seemed superfluous tonight.

Surprisingly the Wicks have been really, really good over the past few episodes. Also I'm not bored to death of Shirley's threats to tell the kids all yet. Tension is building over this secret at quite a nice pace. Naomi's "girlfriend" was a let down I agree. Pity as she could do with someone/something to do. I mean the three of them buying their flat is hardly riveting is it? So Max has ended his and Stacey's affair... until Monday. A no brainer really. Poor Bradley and Lydia got a hard time from Stacey though. As for Stella, well her evil side is gradually coming out, isn't it? I mean breaking the toy car was a bit extreme wasn't it? The Ben abuse storyline looks increasingly likely.

I guessed it was her after what Yasmin told us was coming up. Ben's spoling everything for her and she's jealous. Though I have been expecting her to dye her hair blonde at some point to look lke Phil's other women. LOL!
Did anyone notice the look Shirley gave Kevin when she said at least she's honest? He looked sinister in the shadows.
Now with Martin at the end it all leads nicely into next week's where he completely loses it and hopefully all will be revealed who did Pauline in and Kevin's secret.
