The bouncers must have had to cover all reflective surfaces for him!
I am almost crying laughing! Grin Tyrone, FFS.

MsVestibule · 21/02/2014 23:30

Made me laugh too, Dub!!!

Not really sure why I still watch CS. Maybe habit, maybe because it gets me out of the bedtime routine 3 times a week.

Dubjackeen · 21/02/2014 23:33

It has it's moments Grin.

Michelle is a good friend of mine. She has never fake tanned in her life. She does go on sun beds though. Oh and her nana IS Spanish and very dark skinned. Sorry but I know how upset she gets when people make fun of her skin tone.

Kandypane · 22/02/2014 03:42

Urgh peter is so grimy looks like he needs a good scrub and I bet he stinks of fags. Gives me the creeps.

Agree the storyline is ridiculous.

SavoyCabbage · 22/02/2014 06:09

Did I imagine Tracy Love calling Tina 'David Dickinson's love child'?

LiberalLibertine · 22/02/2014 08:04

Ha ha no you didn't Savoy Grin

LiberalLibertine · 22/02/2014 08:06

YourMa if she's that sensitive about it, maybe less sunbed time would work? If she wants to look like that people are going to talk about it, as its a bit ott

SavoyCabbage · 22/02/2014 08:51

I'm sure she did! Grin In the pub when Tina was late for work because she was with peter. I'm going to have to watch it again now!

EverythingsDozy · 22/02/2014 09:31

I've heard Emily is going to get addicted to breaking bad. Can't remember where I heard it so it could well have been a dream...

LiberalLibertine · 22/02/2014 09:53

No, she did get sent the box set! She lied to get out of baby sitting for Maria to watch it! (Don't blame her, she's always baby sitting someone)

Lighthousekeeping · 22/02/2014 10:50

Michelle needs tokay off the subbed shed skin is going to age terribly.

Lighthousekeeping · 22/02/2014 10:53

Flipping phone. Lay off the sunbeds!!! I don't care if she gets upset she's always in some gossip magazine either selling her interviews of being pictured on holiday with her orange boyfriend. If she doesn't like it she should stop flogging herself to OK or, even better, going on the sundbeds. Dreadful things.

squoosh · 22/02/2014 11:52

Yes she's a gorgeous looking girl but her addiction to sunbeds seems out of hand, sometimes she glows like molton lava. Nothing more ageing than sunbeds.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 22/02/2014 12:33

YourMa you say she's never fake tanned in her life but she insists that her tan is natural - going on sunbeds means it's not natural so I'm not sure what you're defending exactly. She is lying about it even if she does have a Spanish nana!

The whole storyline is rubbish. Tina would not behave like that. She seems to think her and Peter are in love. And I know Peter's a player but I don't think he'd be having a full blown affair 5 minutes after getting married to Carla.

Also can't believe Carla took his name. Carla Barla!

Owllady · 22/02/2014 14:41

Okay if we are going to name drop, I saw the bloke who played derek branning (eastenders) outside my local pub a few Saturdays ago Shock and he was beautifully dressed.....I don't know if he had been at the st Tropez though

I don't think the age gap is unrealistic at all. Lots of 'girls' fancy men several years older than themselves. Lots!

Tina's acting is horrible. She can't do it, she doesn't have the range and it's important really as it's her role as the OW that will in the public eye more so than Peter's.

What isn't believable is the 'express' storyline of the affair. I don't think it would happen that way in real life and a 'slow burn', with proper emotion would be more watchable.

Isn't the actress who plays Tina pregnant now in RL? If so, maybe it's Peter's and that's how she'll be written out...

FoxesRevenge · 22/02/2014 15:07

I heard Tina and Marcus are being killed off.

squoosh · 22/02/2014 15:10

I don't think the age gap is unrealistic either, I just find this sudden passion between them a bit silly.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 22/02/2014 15:11

Is Tina pregnant in real life? Hadn't heard that.

FoxesRevenge · 22/02/2014 15:13

This is Tina's first acting job and it shows. I think she may have done modelling before.

squoosh · 22/02/2014 15:16

I wonder if she has any jobs lined up.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 22/02/2014 15:21

Imagine being Carla and finding out your brand new husband was having it away with the gorgeous babysitter and you hadn't a CLUE. Wonder how long they'll drag it out for? I want them to get caught already.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 22/02/2014 15:29

Nugget, I caught sight of a front cover, something about her boyfriend naming the baby... my head was tilted/listed as far as it would go but I really wasn't reading it. Blush
