Poor Dawn! 'All these people looking up my twinkle!!' I do sympathise - it was the same when I was in labour: hours of agony and screaming, and at the crunch - the pushing stage - I glanced up and a load of people were standing there (God knows who) standing against the back wall taking a great interest in my situation. My son's dad kept vanishing to be sick, and I was just lying there shrieking and pushing with an audience of strangers. Afterwards, when I opened my eyes, the onlookers were all gone and I wondered how come they'd even got in there in the first place........ anyway, enough of my reminiscences - just wanted to get the point across that Dawn's was a pretty typical London labour. Who the hell are these people who are not dressed like doctors or nurses who drift in and watch births?
Anyway, despite the horrible prelude to the baby's birth - that's no excuse to call her Summer. Summer Swann - no,no, no.
Flinging a bit of gravy on Rob so that Ghengis could lick it off was hardly a fitting punishment - what did Ghengis do wrong? Hardly fair on him to have to touch a slimo like Rob.,
Much as I detest Phil Mitchell - I hope it's not long before he SERIOUSLY HURTS Sean. The two are just so horribly macho and uncaring, but Sean has not suffered since he arrived in the Square yet everyone who's known him has been upset by him: Ruby, Tanya, Preeti, Chelsea. Get rid - I don't care about his 'tortured past' this character can't carry a good storyline, he's too crap and unsympathetic.
Yolande - she was married when she met Patrick, and went off with him. How come she thinks an old boot with a pub like Peggy isn't going to turn his head when she's away for a few weeks? I think Patrick should go for it - just for the 'wind-up' factor!! My god would that make Phil mad!! Sean in the bar of the Vic and Patrick in Peggy's bed!!! Yeah - good entertainment, if only to hear some good dialogue. Phil is usually quite well scripted, depsite the character being a moron - he's rarely verbally at a loss.

Blime pearly, sounds like you had some weird labour. Sure they were real? Did you have any pain relief? I had gas an air for a gynaecological problem which caused so much pain a few years ago and loved it. Didn't get rid of the pain completely but things look nice from on the ceiling. LOL!
I was surprised she didn't yell at Carly to stop looking at her twinkle and called her a perv or something after she slapped her. LOL!
Yes poor Ghengis. I hope he doesn't need to go to the vet not for vaccinations after licking Slob. Didn't May look completely barking when the phone rang and she was hugging the doll?
Yolande is two-faced. I think Patrick shagging Pat made them even.
I don't get Stella now. Maybe she doesn't like invitations to commit torture. Takes all the fun out of it. LOL!

The May and Rob thing bugs me - have they been planning this ALL along? Or have they just got back together recently? Scenes between them a while ago with no witnesses suggest that they HAD split up, and he was gone for good. I read an interview with Amanda Drew (May) on DS, and she said that it was ambiguous. The actors were told though that living with the Millers had caused Rob to have a rethink about Dawn and the baby, and then his night of passion with May on her desk helped him make the decision to return to her. Thursdays Episode: The whole thing with the gravy was stupid. I don't know if this is as a result of the re-write caused by Madeline McCann's disappearance, but still it was ludicrous to put it blunty. And did Garry tell Keith all about the abuse she had suffered? Fridays Episode: It was good, especially between May and Rob - but the cliffhanger wasn't great. It was expected. I'm surprised she didn't pop the baby into her massive handbag though! It was huge, and I kept wondering if that was what she was planning to do. The Patrick/Yolande storyline was stupid though. It has so clearly just been an excuse to give the two of them something to do. And this new feud between Yolande and Peggy doesn't ring true either. I hate the way they have made the originally interesting character of Yolande into the annoying nagging wife. Ben and Stella was good enough I thought, even if it is annoying. Does she cut him with a blade of just pinch him on the arm? Difficult to know! Can't wait to find out more about her background, as it will explain a lot I am sure. And what about the tights she was wearing on Tuesday playing football with Ben!!!  Pat and Shirley was okay - but I wanted Pat to talk Shirley around and inspire her, rather than the two of them having another slanging match. |

Some good acting there tonight between May and Slob even though only a mug would believe she was sorry for what she did. That right at the end must have been the changes they made because it was clear from showing the CCTV we were going to see her walk off with the baby.
Stupid Peggy getting Shirley to change her mind about leaving!
Something must have happened to Stella when she was a child seeing as she was so desperate for Ben not to go. Either that or she's afraid he'll come back and punch her one.
Summer Swann is still a stupid name. Bet she changes it when she's 16.

Summer Swann is HIDEOUS!!! Poor child. Not only part of the Miller clan, but also that name. I wonder what Dr. May would have called her?

No idea but we know what May should be called and that would have several names.  I still don't get any of it. It looks more like Rob and May were slung back together at the last minute. Are they actually getting this divorce? What about all she put him through? He's jobless and skint because of her. The gravy probably was the rewrite. Maybe Keef was making some when he was told about Dawn going into labour and that's how Patrick ended up with the jug. I didn't notice the tights. I was just waiting for him to kick the ball in her face. Patsy |

I hope that's the last we see of May and Rob - good riddance. In fact I wish she'd run him over when she had the chance.
I felt a bit sorry for Psycho Stella tonight when she was wearing her wedding dress and that nasty old cow was slagging her off in a loud voice from the kitchen. You get the impression that Stella hasn't had much in the way of love and affection and compliments in her life - and she's constantly looking to vent her anger in spiteful little ways. A shame - but no excuse for the way she treated Ben.
Pat and Shirley's little row in the market was verbally quite entertaining - but it's getting repetitive, like the scenes with Carly and Shirley: give Shirley something proper to do, or dump her. She can't keep rowing with The Ficks etc. it's mindless.

LOL! But then Yawn wouldn't have been able to punch him. It did feel a rather rushed end to the storyline (if it was the end). Though knowing mad May she'll be back.
I did too. Poor Stella crying like that. Then afterwards when Ben hung up and she pretended to be talking to him. Did you notice the set wobble slightly as she banged her head against it? That must be why she had hold of it in case there was an almighty crash. LOL! Definitely no excuse for that. Isn't it awful when they make you start feeling sorry for the boo hiss baddies?
Dot and Jim were good. I was expecting it to be some sort of porn thing but it was near enough. I can imagine Dot reciting the bible in that cinema. Pity we never saw it.

Poor Bradley!! Caught sniffing around Stacey's knickers - then gets a smack in the mouth while singing her a love song! Give it up mate, she's not worth it. Has there ever been a party in Albert Square where there wasn't a punch-up and police presence? Not that I can remember.
Dawn was very harsh on Garry, ok so he's a plonker but a well-meaning plonker. She's dumped the baby after just a couple of days, ffs - she might as well have just given her over to Rob and May if she's so fed up already.
And what's the message with Lucy and the baby doll? After Stacey's abortion and Janet/Petal being abandoned by Honey for having Down's Syndrome, babies and pregnancy are getting a very negative ride on Eastenders recently. What have they got up their sleeves for poor Tanya when she turns up glowing, bump showing?
What a horrendous old hag that woman was with Mickey!! How could he be so naive as to not know that 'massage' was an escorting euphemism for desperate cash in hand nookie? And that silly cow Li put him up to it all in the first place, she's hardly got any right being jealous.

I know. I felt so sorry for Bradders. Silly bugger. He's trying his best and for what? Some tarty slapper. Sooner he finds out about her and Max the better.
Dot and Jim were good again. Everytime he tries a romantic gesture something always goes wrong. Being a Bette Davis fan I loved that with the two fags. LOL!
Maybe these were the rewritten scenes with Yawn?
Li was actually quite good tonight too when she gave Mickey a rollocking for the ad and practising massage on Preeti. No need to childishly stand on Preeti's toes though during the fight. Yep well she looked desperate that hag.
Maybe it's making Jane broody having that doll. Ian can be a pig at times with the way he threw at he that HE bought the chairs. Big man(!)
Smella's still up to something. I thought she bashed the front of her head against the wall, not a teeny corner of it. Bet that invite's found and posted.

No violence in Dot's house? Wallop! LOL!
Those Spock ears suited Stacey. Maybe she should leave them on. But since when were conventions in the evening? They're usually all day either one or a weekend.
Smella's going really loopy. Does the writer even understand what she was going on about tonight? Knew that card would be found. So obvious.
I liked Charlie realising Mo's profit and taking it for himself.
Pity we didn't the the Queen Bombsite.

I hope it wasn't filming scenes of boxing with Bradley that brought on John Bardon's stroke - he didn't seem very fit when he was prancing round the kitchen.
The Spock ears seemed very long - more like donkey ears! But whatever turns you on, I suppose....
Shirley wasn't very nice to her friend Heather - getting her to pay for everything, and then clean up after the party. And how come Shirley pulled a fit cop? Tut tut - what is the Force coming to? It used to be that you couldn't drink on duty - now you can go to parties and pull slappers.
When Mo mentioned about being single it made me think that we haven't seen t' northener Bert, and his gruesome grandson for ages. No doubt they're saving that up for when the schools break up in 3 weeks and the the Square will be overrun with kids.
It seems that Mickey gave that rich woman a 'full service' - when word spreads Mo and Peggy will be after him, probably asking for OAP discounts.
It was the first ep in months that didn't have Dawn in it - so hurrah for that, at least.

Oh well in that case Bradders should have worn them what with him already being a silly ass. I can imaging Mo being first in the queue. Ugh! Wasn't Jay in it briefly a short while ago? No sign of Bert as far as I can remember. Poor Heather. Obviously the stereotyped fat joke of a friend. Yes mummy.  Patsy |

Poor Dot. Defy the nanny state, Dorothy!
Smella's still lying! It's obvious she hurt Catherine somehow. Maybe the way she's treating Ben without the violence. Didn't like her mum at all. Snobby bint.

Wasn't sure what to make of Stella's parents - they obviously don't like Stella very much. Maybe they've become bitter and nasty towards her since she killed their other child - whether by accident, neglect or deliberate violence, we need to discover how Catherine died. This all smacks of a Corrie story a few years back with Kevin Webster and some woman who'd lived a life of guilt and misery after letting her younger sister drown, and blaming herself forever.
Phil seems to have forgiven Stella anyway - or decided to turn a blind eye, and go ahead with the wedding. Strange though that Stella's dad didn't recognise a notorious criminal like Phil Mitchell, him being a top barrister and all.
I wonder if Mickey is now scared off by the sight of Mo doing her femme fatale act. It's funny how Mickey being a male prostitute is a comedy storyline, whereas Leanne B in Corrie's whoring shenanigans is considered a tragedy: double standards, eh?
Bloody Bradley now wants to go to Paris? He's been pining for Stacey for so long, but then he's prepared to dump her and swan off to Paris for Christ knows how long? He is turning out to be more of a selfish time waster than even she is.
There was an article in one of the papers the other day about how to beat the smoking ban. One of the ideas was proposed by a bar that offered a Nicotino, or something similar, which is basically a nicotine cocktail drink, cashing in at about £8 a go. Mmmm - sounds delish, doesn't it? Not! Shame I lost the article - I could have passed it onto Peggy for her recipe book.

That's it! I knew it reminded me of something. Alison Webster. Good memory, Pearly. ;D Maybe Smella's parents were always that way. That mother does like to put her down at every opportunity. So what if she's not a QC? She's obviously happy with her job unless that's part of her mental illness too. LOL!
I don't know. I think with Mickey it's being played for laughs whereas in Corrie it's more serious. I'm certainly enjoying 'Michael of Walford' anyway though not in the literal sense. Can't afford him. LOL!
Blimey you can get 30 fags for that price.

I see Bert appeared briefly when there was free grub at the Vic.
Stella really is crazy! She'll be needing a straight jacket at this rate.
Dawn could do worse than Garry as a step-father for Summer - he so desperately wanted to be Booby's dad, until it turned out he was Ian's boy, and he lost his daughter when Lynne had an emergency hysterectomy while pregnant. I reckon he'd drop the pub and stay in with the baby if necessary.
I reckon Marco is about as Italain as that salsa instructor bloke who turned out to be from Catford. The Vic isn't that fantastic, is it? Talk about an anti-climax.
Bradley - go to Paris, ditch the tart. Stop dithering and blushing all the time, be a man!!

I was thinking that about Marco too. Why doesn't someone tell Peggy it's the same apart from the brothel corner? She should demand a refund.
Booby?
Not a chance. Bradders is a wimp.
Well not much longer with Smella. Wonder if she'll blame Shirley for Ben's toys?

Great episode.
Stacey and Bradley are as ever on there rollercoaster. Will they ever be honest with each other? All they ever seem to do is try to con each other in to their own way of thinking and it never works out.
Yay for Bert and Jay being in the episode!
Pat and Peggy had me in stitches.

What a horrible thought of Pat in that thong.  Thank goodness it's not hers. No, Smella. No one would miss you. JUMP!!!! Silly Bradders. He should split up with Stacey again. He goes less red. You just knew Mo would eat the trifle. Why is it people say something's revolting but carry on eating it? Bet she's the same if she went into a restaurant saying the food's awful but most of it went down her throat. Patsy |

How preggers is Tanya supposed to be? She should have a small bump by now. She's well skinny - BBC, please be more realistic and show women putting on 3 stone and being grumpy and stroppy. Most women are not like Dawn who look glam and sexy and put on about 6lb and lose it 3 days later.
Max is such slime - his whole speech to Stacey was such obvious self-preservation: he didn't want to upset her or the whole apple cart would be tipped. He had to sweet talk her so she'd take pity on him, and also he can't let her marry Bradders because hed like a permanent relationship with Bradders, whereas Stacey will be long gone in a short while. Immoral she may be but she's not daft - she must know he's playing her for a mug, and I hope he gets some sort of comeuppance soon. Unfortunately they keep showing Abi as a really nice, caring little girl and nobody would want to see her heartbroken at the realisation that her darling daddy is a shagging b*stard.
