Is anyone watching this at the moment? What do you think about the Laura/Garry/Ian/Lynne storyline? Do you think Laura is behaving unreasonably? Should Garry have to live up to his responsibilities?

I think he probably should, but that Laura is out of order - she keeps going on about 'What sort of a man cheats on his wife for a quickie when he's drunk?' when of course, that's exactly what she's done (but obviously to her husband!).

Thanks lou33,

mum2toby · 01/04/2003 10:42

WOW Lou33! - Well done, you've definitely covered the 2 episodes!!!

Katherine · 01/04/2003 12:08

Yep thats about it. So we still don't really know what happened to Lisa. Guess they are leaving it open for future developments!

This will be briefer because I was only half watching last night.

Phil wandered around feeling upset about Kate, and wouldn't tell Peggy what had happened. He went to visit Jamie's grave and met Sonia there and they sort of made it up, after she apologised for thinking he had killed Lisa. Barry is having a breakdown since Roy died and Natalie left. He's wandering around all grubby and unshaven and living in a pigsty. the vicar came round to try and talk to him but he didn't really want to know. He's being awful to Pat. Sharon and Vicki are looking for their long lost half brother, and Paul bought his daughter a babygro, but is still trying to deny he has feelings for her.

I do have other things in my life honest!

What was the funeral episode like, did Barry say something about Pat? I personally couldn't watch the episode but would like to know what went on

I know it was last week and it's not real life but when Lisa and Phil were in that run down cottage did anyone else cring when Lisa put baby Lou for a nap on that manky old mattress YUK.or am I just fussy.Phil was also amazing in the time it took her to do that he had lit a fire.What scout pack did he belong to he done um proud.

tallulah · 05/04/2003 13:59

I know it's not real but does anyone else just want Pat to say "for gods sake Barry, grow up" & throw him out?! She got as far as saying it was her house, but not the logical "you've been sponging off me for long enough- now go". Otherwise she should be having him committed.
Must be a new scriptwriter. All the characters seem to do nothing but stare someone in the face & yell "AAARRRGGHHH!" (WHY?!)

Hi everyone - Wow I am here in New Zealand, and I do love Eastenders. I know we are miles behind, but we are just at the scenes where: Phil,Lisa and Louise affair is all happening. Lisa, is just sneaking around behind Marks back having this affair - Wow please, please tell me about what I have to look forward to ????? Laura and Garry no, surely not?? Whats this about Jamie dying??? What happens to Billy and Janine???? Antony Truman is away on holiday - (marriage never went ahead with Zowie - Does this marriage happen. Please, please fill me in on details - THANKS a million!!!!

Ghosty · 24/04/2003 10:45

Hi bagpipes ... I miss Eastenders too ... it's awful isn't it? I was watching a bit of Shortland Street this evening as I was surfing on Mumsnet and I just can't believe they put on that drivel every night of the week and we get Eastenders at 12.30 in the daytime and it is sooooooo far behind! I can't always get to watch it either as at that time DS and I are out and about doing stuff or eating lunch or whatever ....
Really miss it ... I have tired to keep up with the Eastenders website but now I am so far behind I just don't know what is what! I know that Jamie died at Christmas (I was in the UK at the time) and also that Anthony and Kat got together but I don't know if they are still together now ... Also I think that Sharon's boyfriend Tom died too ... in a fire!

Ghosty · 24/04/2003 10:47

Oh and whats her name ... Ian's wife ... she got pregnant after a one night stand with Gary ... and Ian dumped her as he had had the snip and knew it wasn't his ...
Someone else should step in now and give some more up to date facts ....

mum2toby · 24/04/2003 10:51

Are you sure you want to know it all??? OK

Lisa leaves Mark and moves in with Phil. They get a nanny in to look after Louise and Lisa never gets to see her. With the help of Jamie and Sonia, she flees the country with Louise.

Laura and Gary had a knee-trembler at the back of E20 and she's preggers. Lynn knows now and she and Gary are making amends.

Jamie is killed by the car Martin Fowler is illegally driving.

Nothing happens with Billy and Janine. Billy and little Mo are now sickeningly happily married.

Anthony and Kat rekindle thier love and Zoe comes back to try to win back Anthony's heart. She eventually gives them her blessing. Kat realises he's not for her and leaves him..... but she's expecting his baby. Just after she gets used the idea and tells him, she miscarry's and goes off to work in Spain.

As for Phil and Lisa.... he disappers for a few weeks to find them and bring them home, but he arrives home with Lousie only!!! And I'm going to leave you in suspense about what happens with that one.

Phew!!! Think I've covered all the things you've asked about!!!

Ghosty · 24/04/2003 10:59

Jeepers ... not sure I can handle all of that ... need to lie in a darkened room for a bit
So, what happened to Lisa? Where is she? And what about poor Mark? How did he cope? Is he still with us or has Aids got him now? Did Laura have the baby?

mum2toby · 24/04/2003 11:08

Lisa has 'disappeared' and Sonia is convinced Phil has murdered her. There was a special double episode that went back to what happened when he caught up with them in Portugal.... not telling!! You'll just have to wait and see.

Mark handled it badly, but was ok. He got told that his condition was now untreatable and he has gone off to travel the world and to die alone!! Nice!
Laura is now running the cafe, but hasn't had the baby yet. She must be due soon. Phil gave her the cafe to piss off Ian.

Oh and Pat's husband Roy is dead.... heart attack.

Before that, Natalie has an affair with Ricky and is about to leave Barry. There's a big confrontation in the Vic (where else!!) and she decides to leave them both... she goes off alone with Liam to 'sort her head out'.
Barry is devastated and his Dad dying is the last straw. He finds out that Pat knew about Natalies affair ( although she thought it had ended). He goes MENTAL. Roy has left everything, inlcuding the house, to Barry and he chucks Pat out on the street. He has gone a bit mad.

Not that I watch TV a lot...

Ghosty · 24/04/2003 11:12

Oh ... I can't take it anymore ... don't say anything else ...
So, what's going on with Pauline and the rest of the Fowlers? What about Babs ... is she still there? And Sharon? How did Sonia cope with Jamie's death?

mum2toby · 24/04/2003 11:17

Correction - Natalie doesn't go off with Liam! She goes off with HER son.... Jack.

Martin Fowler faces murder charges after Jamie. Sonia loses the plot a wee bit, but is fine now.

Vicky Fowler, Micheles daughter runs away and turns up on Pauline's doorstep. She now lives with Sharon as they are half sisters.

Had enough yet???

mum2toby · 24/04/2003 11:17

Babs is still going strong and playing the doting Gran to Louise.

breeze · 24/04/2003 11:56

Mum2toby, You need to get out more

quackers · 24/04/2003 12:03

And get some work done!!! I know I know I'm just as bad!!
I'm off shortly - going away for the weekend with hub and littl'n.

I'll be logging in for the next installment!!

mum2toby · 24/04/2003 12:32

Breeze - GO OUT AND MISS EASTENDERS???? Are you MAD girl??????

Quackers - I wondered where you'd got to. Have a lovely weekend.

Ghosty · 25/04/2003 00:58

Ooooh ... Vicky turns up ... bless, I remember when she was born ... how old is she supposed to be now? What is the actress like who plays her, Any good? Why did she run away ... is she trouble?

mum2toby · 25/04/2003 08:04

Vicky is 16! Do u feel old? I do!! And yes, she is mega trouble. The actress is American (or supposed to be), and kind of gothic.
