Mumsnet Talk

I call Syed The Weasel. Weaselly little weasel.

I think he had a bloody cheek to go on honeymoon after bankrupting his family!

What has happened to Michael and baby Scarlett - I seem to have missed some episodes and he's disappeared.

Do we know who Kat is shagging yet? Or have they just buried that plot line for a while?

I have no idea what christian ever saw in SYed inthe first place he does whinge ALL THE TIME , I suspect the Kat shagger will be revealed at Christmas <yawn>

Christian ought to get it on with Gary Lucy.

I was wondering about Michael and Scarlett, no idea where they are! I think it comes out at Xmas who Kay was with.

Last time I saw Michael and scarlett the baby was screaming and he was in the livingroom sorting his tie or 'something' <worried> he should be the one havine SS intervention not Lola

Are we trying to make a point or something re the fact that Lola is a great mum an had baby taken away and michelangelo is a terrible dad but ss not involved at all?

I meant ee not we, I hate autocorrect!!!

I think it was said on another thread that maybe they are sterotyping Lola and Billy and then Michael is getting away with it so maybe thats where they are going <dunno>

I think EE have done social services a lot of damage and has portrayed them as baby snatching villains.

HAHAHAHA I have no idea why my phone thought I wanted to say michaelangelo!!!!!

I thought you did it on purpose! Michelangelo it is forevermore for us sad sacs regular EE

YOUR you are right I think it is an awful storyline Lola didn't really do anything wrong and the social worker seemed really strict and then took the baby away It is just horrible. I know children who live in worse circumstances than Lola and SS work with the families to keep the children where they are,

regular EE thread contributors that should have said.

Well I've never had any dealings with ss, and dot know anyone who has, but would like to think that they are not as harsh in rl as what ee is making them out to be.

My Mum used to be a social worker in that field and she says the priority was always to try and keep the baby with its mother as much as humanly possible. She said she preferred seeing a messy house and a well cared for baby than the other way around.

I just think they have show SS in a terrible light and EE is meant to deal with real ishoos and this is just rubbish I guess it was to give the baby to Phil poor lexie

i agree. i think they did the SS storyline really badly and will have caused alot of unneccessary bad feeling amongst some people. i really dont know why they took lexi away based on, what? a few dirty pots and pans? i know lola punched a girl but i very much doubt the same in RL would have resulted in losing the baby. never mind them giving it to phil sodding mitchell!! i know it's for ratings etc but it could be a bit more realistic.

<goes to look for a life>

Isnt lola on probation or something It is pretty rubbish that they took the baby ,

>>runs after Being to find life

Apparently they had a formal complaint from the British Association of Social Workers about its unrealistic portrayal of SS.

People forget that SW are there to help, not snatch, and this ludicrous storyline will just deter people from seeking help.

Yes Lola was on probation and hit someone who threatened to kill her baby. The SW bumped into Billy who had 3 cans of lager in his bag, about three dishes hadn't been washed and Bingo! off the SW goes with the baby. Not so much as a court order in place.

But then SS came up with a better idea: let's give the baby to an ex con who barely knows her on the unproven grounds that he may be her grandfather.

Good I am glad they complained such a pile of poop young girl has baby oh wait a dirty sink oh lets swoop for baby, and Grandad doesn't work oh that is terrible ridiculous storyline,
