Wtaf is going on with eastenders??

[Bakingnovice]

I know it's been shit for ages but its just dire atm. I'm a bit behind and stopped watching when bunhead Lauren was getting drunk. Switched back on and she's back from rehab. Was her rehab in the Maldives? I'm sick to the back teeth of her and joey. What a mockery they've made of teen drinking showing her recovered. She's a terrible actress.

Lucy is weird and for an eastender she's got a v posh accent. As has bobby. And Dennis. And Sharon.

And I really don't like how every victim of sexual abuse is portrayed as promiscuous. In one episode we see Kat dragging a guy into an alley for a quickie and Whitney getting into a car with strange men. Not every child victim is like kat and bloody Whitney. Utter tosh. I need another long break from it. I only came back to it cos corrie is terrible these days.

also aren't there bathroom issues with so many people in one house such as carol's.

Charlie Slater's bedroom was the dining room in the Slater house so I've always assumed that everyone in EE does that :o

I hate Tel already. Why's he wandering around bring everyone's best mate? We had a bloke move in to our street last Christmas and I think I've only said hello once.

I'm very confused about Carl? Why is he blackmailing Ian?

ooh good point alemci

10 people in the house, none of them can share baths so i'd say half an hour each per day to get washed, teeth, toilet etc. that's 5 hours a day for everyone to get washed. i imagine they'd have to have a rota as they only have one bathroom. I only have one too and even with just 3 of us there are call of nature clashes usually after dinner.

excaltly glw - all the small living roomed houses have another dining/bedroom

but one toilet and bathroom

also ages ago someone said why doesnt bianca claim benifits

i assume as so many people live with her that she cant

because he wants max branning out of the picture so he can have kirsty back all to himself.

carl is bm ian as ian stole the money from the tin that was for derick, and carl came looking for it

so he is bm ian, and hence why he said for ian to say that max yampered with phils brakes even tho he didnt

or something like that :)

Ian found a cash box with money it when setting up the restaurant. The box belonged to Derek but the money was Carl's.

I think Kirsty is gonna rob Carl and give the money to Max's girlz..

Even more confused. Derek died before Carl arrived so how did Derek come to have his money?
Why didn't Ian just tell him to nob off? Carl's hardly going to go to the police.

oh yeah! forgot about the money box!

Red I asked this on the last thread. Why would Ian believe Carl when he said the money was his? It's a plot line hanging from the finest thread. Totally unbelievable. In fact EE has become almost Shakespearean in terms of how much it expects viewers to suspend disbelief.

baking

to believe or not to believe

that is the question

I thought Derek was looking after the money whilst Carl was in prison.

But how did Carl know Derek? Carl wasn't in it when Derek was.

Derek and Carl were in prison together and Derek was 'looking after' the money for Carl.

Apparently

Ah, I didn't know that, that'll teach me to skip through the boring bits. Makes a bit more sense now.

I hate Tel already. Why's he wandering around bring everyone's best mate?

Yes, it's weird! He hasn't moved from Outer Mongolia, he's a black cab driver from London...doesn't he have friends in the other London borough he lived in previously? How come Walford is so small? .

Does anyone know what Jakes story is? Is he a friend of Carl's to get at Max via Lauren or something completely different?

Perhaps they have an outside loo in the yard or use old fashioned chamber pots. As someone commented earlier about it becoming Shakespearian, perhaps they have a prithee on the landing.:)

could you imagine in the morning when everyone needs the loo or someone is having a bath etc and you are desperate. Perhaps they all use the caf or the Queen Vic.

Is Jake the alcoholic friend of Lauren's? Not sure what his story is. But as yet aren't shoving him down our throats I'm guessing he's not here to stay, so probably a wrong'un. Plus he's a northerner and they never do well on EE.

Yes Jake is the rather fit bloke Lauren met at counselling.
Just wondered if he was planted there by Carl, seems rather coincidental.

So angry that janine gets away with it again. It's a repeat of the Barry storyline. She's a grotesque character and I'm
Sick of EE repeating story lines.

Ah does she definitely get away with it then?
If this murder was on CSI they'd be able to tell there were different people involved in stabbing because one of them would be left-handed or some such evidence!
