I know it's not a popular storyline...

[headfairy]

but isn't Cat Moon watserface quite good on Eastenders at the mo?

They picked good actresses to do it.

She's doing a great job of portraying the rage the character must be feeling.

I am really feeling for Jack at the moment - heartbreaking.
And I agree Jesse Wallace is doing a great job.

So is Samantha Womack.

I'm not sure which part of the storyline pisses me off the most, the baby swap or the weaning of someone elses baby at 3 and a half months, chuckle

raahh, So do I. It must be devastating for him.

PictureThis... really good isn't she? No jury in the land would convict her of anything.

Oh yeah Jennieflower, that got me too.. mashed banana? At 3 months? Are you mad?

I think Alfie is smashing.

lol at the weaning the baby, specially as he's only just learned to roll over!

i agree and i think jean is very good too

Jessie Wallace is an incredible actress. I don't watch EE much but she always stands out when I do catch it.

Her portayal of Pat Phoenix recently was one of the best things I've ever seen on TV.

OH gawd, I'm welling up now, bloody soaps!

I've not watched EE since around the time Den died for the second time but I have watched the last two episodes and just cried! I think it's because I have an almost 4mth old myself. I hope they treat the other storyline sensitively and I hope Kat is able to find some sympathy and forgiveness towards the other mum.

Would SS really let you just waltz off with the baby though? Especially dressed as a zebra?

Did not agree with any aspect of this storyline and think the scriptwriters made a right hash of it, but some superb acting by Jesse Wallace and Shane Ritchie tonight.

Best eastenders episode i have ever seen. Was crying all the way thru. Poor jack x

FFS some babies are weaned early - mashed banana is not going to kill a 4 month old baby, both mine were weaned early and they are healthy teenagers now so they didnt curl up and die!

anyway back to the point! some superb acting all round - I am loving this story line

Maddy68- I know that- but I knew as soon as i heard it that it would feature on an MN thread somewhere

I thought the baby was great. He/she was just smiling away as the actors sobbed. No empathy whatsoever

The baby was gorgeous.

And there is an AIBU thread debating the mashed banana[sigh].

MN- never predictable.

I watched it tonight and felt for both Kat and Ronnie, both actresses played the parts to the extent that I cried real tears. I know the BBC were wrong in doing this storyline and many have been outraged but what a fantastic episode.

By the way I am not dismissing anyones heartbreak. I am just saying what a great episode of EE thats all :)

januaryjojo: what hospital was it? EE is filmed in our home town and could not recognise the hospital

OK, I know some babies are weaned early however I do think the BBC have gotten this wrong. People listen to soaps. Ronnie Mitchell weaned her baby off the tele at 4 months on banana and apple so it is ok for me to do it then?

They should have been responsible and stuck to current guidelines at 6 months.

That said, i thought tonight was very good.

If people are really so easily influenced by EE, they shouldn't be allowed to own a television.
