Eastenders Baby Death Storyline

Once again, no one can live happily ever after Sad

Ronnie's baby James, dies and she puts his body in Kat and Alfies son's crib, and steals their baby boy, Tommy.

Why oh why oh why do scriptwriters insist on portraying bereaved parents - mothers especially - as mad and deranged??? Maybe it's because they can't begin to imagine how awful the death of a child is, but really, whilst we are mad with grief, it is our own child that we want back, not someone else's stolen child. When are scriptwriters ever going to understand that?

Still, it'll be a riveting watch, no doubt.

foofy, they will be tweeting updates!

how are you?

FooffyShmoofer · 12/01/2011 11:58

Oh good. Well I say that but I don't know how to do Twitter so I'll keep my eye on here. God I wish I could be there to witness it.

I'm fine thankyou. Procrastinating madly as usual. Should be mopping floors. Am unsuccesfully potty training DD and the smell of wee is following me around. Smile

Was thinking (not that it's really that relevant I suppose) but Bryan Kirkwood has only been in charge since March? The previous guy Diederick Santer has been quite conspicuous in his silence. Well to me anyway. He had been there a while and put out some quite controversial plotlines himself and I would be interested to know what his take on this is. Would he staunchly defend it anyway or would this have been a step to far even for him?

Just curious I suppose. He doesnt work for the BBC anymore, doesn't have to toe the party line. Wonder what his honest opinion would be.

I need to stop talking to myself whilst washing up. Put the radio on and stop thinking.

OracleInaCoracle · 12/01/2011 12:10

thats a good point. iirc santer did the whitney/tony storyline and I thought that was v well done.

all it says is that they have arrived.

a fellow prcrastinator here, Ive done all i can sitting down, really should do a bit more housework now... CBA....

FooffyShmoofer · 12/01/2011 12:16

Do you know if any MNers have managed to go?

OracleInaCoracle · 12/01/2011 12:16

Mouseface · 12/01/2011 12:18

Afternoon Smile

I've just checked Twitter (I don't tweet but can open the link) and it still says arrived.

Feeling better today but knackered for trying to cough my lungs out last night.

How are we all? I'm v excited by the meeting today and hope it goes well.

OracleInaCoracle · 12/01/2011 12:24

hi mouse, glad you are feeling better

FooffyShmoofer · 12/01/2011 12:25

Ah two very eloquent ladies. I think they will manage very well.

Hi mouse.

CrawlingInMySkin · 12/01/2011 12:33

I have just read the thread on digital spy they seem awful upset, and angry about the story being cut perhaps someone should go over and remind them that it is just a soap and their tv has a off switch as they have been so kind to remind others Grin I am so evil Grin

Mouseface · 12/01/2011 12:59

Ha ha ha Crawling! Norty. Grin

Fooffy - surely you mean four very eloquent ladies? Wink

FooffyShmoofer · 12/01/2011 13:08

Ooh Crap. I made a faux pas.

Yes of course, of course 4 Blush Apologies.

Mouseface · 12/01/2011 13:45

Sorry Fooffy - didn't mean to make you feel bad lovely x

shabbapinkfrog · 12/01/2011 13:50

Mrs Devere has gone? Grin Have never met in RL but talk almost every day. LOL they better not try to give her a hard time she will (as they say in Lancashire) 'eat them on a butty' - part of me really, really hopes she gives them 'what for.' Grin

Mouseface · 12/01/2011 14:09

Yes, MrsDeVere has gone! Whoop, whoop, eeek!

I was going to sneak into her handbag, ready to scurry out and bite any ankles if BBC/EE gave her any shit but had DS's nurse here this morning. Grin

shabbapinkfrog · 12/01/2011 14:11

ROFL they might try to give her shit but they will really, really wish they hadn't Grin Oh to be a fly on the wall.

FooffyShmoofer · 12/01/2011 14:18

S'orright Mouse no worries Smile

Shabba eat them on a butty indeed! Fellow Boltonian I believe.

Lordy I hope we hear something soon. There will be some satisfaction to be gained from knowing they will have got a considered, articulate, well thought out, passionate arguement/debate?.

shabbapinkfrog · 12/01/2011 14:27
OracleInaCoracle · 12/01/2011 14:29

Grin they've been AGES, does anyone have either on their FB?

shabbapinkfrog · 12/01/2011 14:33

I've got Mrs D....will keep my eyes open for her reporting in LOL and then let you know xxx

FooffyShmoofer · 12/01/2011 14:34

Ha!! Am I right, am I right, I'm right aren't I?

Don't worry I don't know you Smile

Yes the last update was an age ago wasn't it?

OracleInaCoracle · 12/01/2011 14:37

OracleInaCoracle · 12/01/2011 14:37

shabbapinkfrog · 12/01/2011 14:51
