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.

I think lauren is a younger version of shirley. I can just see her in 40 years moping around the vic snarling at anyone that isnt joey (hev Grin) all dressed in black

Thanks Shortbutsosweet Grin

Bianca's decorations seared my retinas. I too wondered why Alfie thought he could just go back to the Vic. I thought Phil put Roxy in charge ages ago when Kat and Alfie fell behind on the rent?

wakemeupnow · 04/12/2013 09:57

Alfie is sure showing a psychopathic lack of empathy for the situation he created....

And what's with the blue peter dog addition to the cast ?

mileysorearse · 04/12/2013 10:39

I know, I couldn't help thinking it would be covered in fleas and all wormy

LineRunner · 04/12/2013 10:58

Why has everybody in Eastenders suddenly had a personality transplant?

Have they changed the writers or put them all on Class A drugs or something?

Fakebook · 04/12/2013 11:38

Re: the tacky decorations, wasn't it only last year poor Bianca couldn't afford a Christmas tree and decorations? Where was Alfie to save the day then? Why are Tel and Alfie best friends all of a sudden sharing problems over coffee? Confused

Lauren (as I've said before, with her mannerisms, shrill voice and fondness for eyeliner) is Captain Jack Sparrow's long lost sister.

^^ Grin Grin that's hilariously true!

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 04/12/2013 12:06

Yes didnt bianca have a cardboard xmas tree last year? Grin

Fakebook · 04/12/2013 12:45

Yes! I think the cardboard tree was carol's bright idea!

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 05/12/2013 20:25

Was david wicks just showing max how to polish a car? Grin

Fakebook · 06/12/2013 17:28

According to my Facebook feed, Stacey is coming back early next year. You know a programme is in trouble when they start reviving old characters. Sharon, David Wicks, Sonia and Stacey....oh and apparently Shabnam Masood is coming back too but a different actress.

LineRunner · 06/12/2013 17:30

Ah, Shabnam, who couldn't come back for weddings, hospitalisations, funerals, houses burning down; but who will trip back in for 'a fashion course' no doubt.

Lurleene · 06/12/2013 17:43

Shabnam will apparently come back to the Square 'hiding a secret'. Like every other bugger.

mileysorearse · 06/12/2013 17:44

I bet it won't be a secret ability to act

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 06/12/2013 17:47

Grin Miley!

qazxc · 06/12/2013 18:57

Why does alfie seem to think that he and kat are the only people who can run the vic? WTF makes him think they are entitled?

AmandinePoulain · 06/12/2013 20:46

I'll start the bets on what the secret is...secret non Muslim husband? Secret baby? Or is that too obvious Grin Wink?

Good grief. I started this thread. Every month I try and revisit it in the hopes that its better.

Wtaf was Sam doing? Acting like he was in a RSC theatre production. Glad he's gone. So one terrible character leaves and in his place we have bloody jake and Sadie. Sick to death of them and the acting. Jake looks like he's demented when saying his lines and Sadie is a nigella rip off. As if Peter would fall for Lola. The wedding wasa joke, even aunty peg couldn't be bothered to turn up.

So sick of ronnie and roxy. Rox has only been with Alfie for 10 months but is acting like they were together for decades. Ronnie is the new Michael. Evil then smily. As if Stacey would come back, esp now jean has buggered off. If she restarts her affair with max I'm gonna smash the telly.

I heard Stacey was coming back - hope Sean her BRUV does as well - tho he has been in USA and true blood

Agree roxy and Alfie been together such a little time and she technically pinched him after kat had been with the dodgy Derek

Ryan was also married to or with Janine at the time. So she shopped Stacey over killing Archie.

qazxc · 08/12/2013 08:36

Stacey/shabnam secret lesbian relationship?

Fakebook · 08/12/2013 21:14

Yes, I bet Shabnam either had a baby (with a member of the Taliban whilst backpacking in Pakistan Confused)...or she's realised she's a lesbian or she's had a boob job or something??. I think tamwar should leave now. What an annoying character. I wonder if he talks like that in real life; he is so monotone.
