disclaimer i haven't watched it for months, but watched yesterday and today.

I am so glad that Jean has found love and is moving a way, it is refreshing to see a soap showing that people with MH problem can lead a happy life.

I am so glad Jean has had a Happy ending.

Hear hear,glad they had jean,think it opened peoples eyes a bit to reality.Stacey Slaters story with bipolar was amazing too,actress was amazingly good.

BrokenSunglasses · 17/09/2013 23:14

I'm glad she has to, but I don't think she's a loveable enough character to have got the sad dum dums.

DesperatelySeekingSedatives · 17/09/2013 23:14

Haven't watched EE for ages (got bored) but so glad Jean got her happy ending Smile

Shame she's going though. That actress is just about the only person on that show who can act these days. Everyone just glares and shouts a lot.

You know what I have to say, I'm glad to see the bloody back of her.

Don't get me wrong, I liked her as a character but just lately they've been giving her far too much airtime, with the same old script.

She just got boring.

WorraLiberty · 17/09/2013 23:18

What I want to know is, what's happened to Shirley?? Grin

What is the AIBU? I haven't watched for about a decade.

But while I'm here can anyone guess about a new child being introduced in the next couple of weeks? One of my DC's mates theatre-school companions has a part.

QOD · 17/09/2013 23:20

Yeah where's Shirley? Can't find any spoilers and I wanna know!

squoosh · 17/09/2013 23:22

Does Sharon still have her awful hair extensions, that is the question.

maras2 · 17/09/2013 23:24

Did Jean cop off with Sergeant Boyden off The Bill?I only catch E.Enders on odd weekends.

Lj8893 · 17/09/2013 23:24

I actually cried at jeans departure (I'm very very hormonal at 34 weeks pregnant). She deserved her happy ending and I think it was done so well, no over dramatics, just a sweet simple goodbye.

Eastenders pisses me off alot but on this occasion, well done!

chickydoo · 17/09/2013 23:26

Yes, where is Shirly?

Rummikub · 17/09/2013 23:27

Just watched it for the first time in ages. Remind me of the relationship between Stacey, jean and kat please... Kat is Stacey's mum? So how does jean fit in?

Bless her it was a happy ending I was half expecting the car to run over Dot. Yes where the hell is Shirley?

Bringmewineandcake · 17/09/2013 23:37

Rummikub I think you're thinking of Zoe Slater who is Kat's daughter but hasn't been in it for aaaaages

Rummikub · 17/09/2013 23:41

Ah ok. Yes I am thinking of Zoe slater! So jean is Stacey's mum and kat is cousin to jean. Thank you!

Is Shirley really in cell block h? I used to love the original.

CbeebiesIsMyLife · 17/09/2013 23:43

Kats dad (Charley) was Stacy's uncle, making Kat and Stacy cousins so Jean is Kat's Auntie.

AlannaPartridge · 17/09/2013 23:49

I think Jean is Kat's aunt. She's Charlie's (Kat's dad) sister in law. I think. Making Kat & Stacey cousins.

Could be bollocks, though.

AlannaPartridge · 17/09/2013 23:50

That new Prisoner Cell Block H thing (Wentworth) is quite good, btw.

AnyFucker · 17/09/2013 23:54

I don't know, Rummi. Just my little joke. Shirley used to be in a women's prison drama, didn't she ? She looks bloody ard as anyway Smile

WorraLiberty · 17/09/2013 23:56

Bad girls? I think that was the prison drama she was in?
