Poor Michael Sad He is absolutely my favourite character. He's sarcastic, hilarious and has had me in stitches with some of his one liners Grin But on the complete opposite end of the scale, he plays 'upset' and 'devastated' beautifully. He really makes me want to cry because I'm over hormonal sometimes Sad

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/05/2013 16:12

I felt for Michael last night :( he genuinely loves his daughter and good to show that some children are better off with their dads rather then with the mum

Love the way the teenagers had so little respect for their parents /older figures ie Lola and Sharon and Lucy and Ian

Rocky is suddenly getting broody and wants Alfie's baby - why ? She can barely look after Amy as it is

No one has been buying any cars so how does max afford a flat /mortgage and b&b

Love the way they always ask if the barmaid (can't rem her name but the one who doesn't talk much as then will get paid more) can cope/be able to run bar on own while they shag

That's her job !!!

And back to the usual topic of bianca and why she doesn't get wtc - housing benefit etc etc etc and is always so poor

Prob bout time she met another man and had no 5 :)

Oooh is this ronnie creeping back into the Vic?

TwllBach · 07/05/2013 22:49

Abbie. Is. Beyond. Irritating.

I quite like dexter though - he does irritating very convincingly.

OhLori · 08/05/2013 10:17

Dexter - wow that accent is like nails on a blackboard to me.

Abbie - beg to disagree, if is she the blonde Brannie daughter. I think she's sweet with her sweet button eyes and her idealism about romance, her family and becoming a vet, unusual I know in Eastenders.

Hmmm... the Michael thing. I get what people are saying, those one-liners and delicious flashing/knowing smiles. But is just a bit damaged and trying to do the right thing - or is he still the resident sociopath? I think we should be told.

Janine - being hateful mother of the year, its a horrible storyline, hope it doesn't go on too long.

AmandinePoulain · 08/05/2013 19:50

I thought Alfie couldn't make babies? Didn't they visit an ivf clinic after 'Tommy' died? Confused

Who was that guy in The Vic???

I thought it was just that Alfie had really slow swimmers? Kat got upduffed and had a miscarriage with him didn't she?

Bakingnovice · 08/05/2013 21:28

Has anyone else noticed how mahoosive the cafe has become? It's got a new massive back kitchen and loads more space. And a jukebox!

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/05/2013 21:32

Yes Alfie has slow swimmers but sure will get foxy roxy preggers ASAP

Yes the cafe has expanded. Just like most houses in the square

VonHerrBurton · 09/05/2013 18:04

What's happened to Shazzas awful extensions?! Don't mistake me for a complainer, they were truly hideous, but over the last couple of episodes her hair seems to have all but disappeared into a small clip at the back with a few wispy tufts...is this the start of a new look? Has she taken notice of us all and got rid of the aladdins carpet down her back?

please, please go chestnut brown, short bob...mind you, her neck may look shorter still. What's a girl to do!

VonHerrBurton · 09/05/2013 18:06

aladdins carpet? That's not right is it :D aladdins cave oh shit, you know what I mean!!

rufussmum · 09/05/2013 20:13

You mean a flying carpet?
More like a rag rug.
Or a shag pile.

rufussmum · 09/05/2013 20:13

Shag Pile Sharon. Appropriate somehow.

Bakingnovice · 10/05/2013 09:48

Why do roxy and her and Tanya insist on having these bizarre blond ringlets hanging from their heads. Roxys are terrible. You can actually see the join point of all 4 of her ringlets. Ringlets of 40 something hags is wrong. Very very wrong!

OhLori · 10/05/2013 10:10

Laughing at the ringlets, and the make-up, and the botox . But I do like Eastender's over-the-top theatrical dressing up box sometimes, even if it sometimes borders on pantomime ...

I think someone else commented on the amount of make-up all the women are wearing, and that this is a new development. I have noticed that Bianca and Bianca's mother (very attractive) are some of the few women not caked in make-up from morning to night.

The plot lines seem all over the place at the moment.

cheerfulweather · 10/05/2013 19:57

The ringlets! I remember thinking Tanya looked like one of those ship figurehead when she had a particularly long mass of ringlets. They're really not very flattering. There's a lot of false eyelashes around too, I spent time spotting during one particularly dull episode.

Bianca's mother does look more attractive than the others, with the subtle make up, even though she's much older.

cheerfulweather · 10/05/2013 20:33

I also find the 'Fatboy' (or whatever he's called) and Poppy couple extremely pointless and irritating.

EllieArroway · 11/05/2013 01:29

I reckon Michael is going to fall for Alice - like, really properly fall for her. Then Janine will want him back & he'll be torn between tru luv, & his baby/pots of money.

Or am I just reading too much into it? Blush

EllieArroway · 11/05/2013 01:34

And does anyone else think that Jay is getting better & better looking all the time? He was just stunning tonight.

And I feel a right perv saying that because I'm old enough to be his mum older sister.

MuchBrighterNow · 11/05/2013 09:41

Fat Boy and Poppy... WTF was that tuna storyline ! ...pass me the puke bucket.

AmandinePoulain · 11/05/2013 11:40

I know! What was she on about?! The tuna was stored in a can so it made her ill?! Ummm...isn't tuna generally stored in a tin? Hmm

OhLori · 11/05/2013 21:26

Oooo yes, Michael and Alice's growing strange but interesting relationship, I'm getting that vibe too Ellie.

Also re. Alice, they've changed her appearance, ever-so-gradually, from a complete frump frankly .... to pretty girl.

TwllBach · 11/05/2013 21:53

There is something about the relationship between the two of them that is quite sweet. I don't think it's romancey though, I think something will happen... We haven't had a fire in a while? And their relationship will have developed so much in terms of him feeling paternal towards her that he will give his life for hers.

OR, given his propensity for self destruction, he will get closer to her, look after her, become fatherly to her, replacing Scarlett with her because janine denies access. Then he will sleep with her and destroy her. He will be so convinced that he is disgusting, sleeping with someone he treats as a daughter, that his head will explode.
