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.

See her having dinner with Billy? What was she in before?

[StephenFrySaidSo]

bad girls

[StephenFrySaidSo]

Kerry or terry? no that's wrong- cant remember her name in it.

[StephenFrySaidSo]

ooh is she after lexi??

google saYS a business man called nick holland

I reckon Peter's slept with Cindy when he was staying with her family in Devon. The way he acts all shifty and constantly wants to get away from her makes me think that. Plus it's the kind of unimaginative shite that the EE scriptwriters come up with.

[SilveryMoon]

That's what my dp reckons cats! Surely they wouldn't do another incest-y storyline when we're still kind of in the Lauren/Joey crap, would they?
But, not sure what else it could be? "Do you think they'll like you as much if they knew what I know?" or something like that, Cindy said to him.....

[StephenFrySaidSo]

I was thinking it was something to do with a girlfriend in devon or something- I've realised now that he was staying with her in devon- I suppose because her dad was married to cindy#1? and he was his stepdad? when did cindy#1 die?

[SilveryMoon]

Don't think it's got anything to do with a gf, why would that be an issue, e wasn't/isn't seeing anyone in Walford.
When he was getting the nfunny alls and when he smashed up his phone, I thought he must have been on the rob over there and some heavy Carl style gangster was after him, not a 14 year old girl.
Cindy Jr lives with her maternal grandma in Devon, who would also be Peter and Lucy's nan and that's who they went to stay with when the visited Devon.
Cindy Sn died not long after Cindy Jr was born i think

[hashtagwhatever]

Peter and his friend swam in a river drunk and his friend died. so he came back to Walford

[StephenFrySaidSo]

ahh thank you- that makes a lot more sense. I have no idea why a girlfriend would be a problem- I have zero imagination I was thinking maybe he'd gotten her pregnant and then legged it out of there leaving her alone to cope with it.

[StephenFrySaidSo]

is that true hashtag?

[SilveryMoon]

Is that true hash? And what, he's living with the guilt of not being able to save him and all that shit? Edge-off-my-seat-stuff

[StephenFrySaidSo]

or maybe he's done something to his nan? stolen her savings to pay his gym membership?

[SilveryMoon]

Peter is looking quite hot isn't he?!
Ian has spoken to the gran, so think we can rule that out. I can see the story that hash has said coming to light

[LillianGish]

Stopped watching while on holiday for three weeks and haven't been back since - seven weeks in total now - and I used to be addicted. Just complete tosh as my skim read of this thread confirms. Feel so much better for it. Just thought I'd share that!

[StephenFrySaidSo]

yes I quite enjoyed yesterdays episode when he stripped off- even if he is about 10 years younger than me what age is he supposed to be? 18?

ok so granny's ok and not fending off the balliffs. it has to be something that will throw a spanner in the works for him and Lola which appears to be just on the horizon. I really hope they don't drag the arse out of it and just bloody tell us what it is that cindy knows.

[SilveryMoon]

I was hopeful for Lola and Dexter

[monikar]

I thought Cindy Sn died in childbirth while she was in prison. The father of Cindy Jn was not revealed in the story I don't think, I think we are supposed to presume it was her boyfriend at the time - I remember Ian opening a letter/telegram telling him she had died.

[cocolepew]

Thanks, StephenFry

[hashtagwhatever]

yes its true. or so I've heard.

he blames himself as he was the one encouraging said friend to swim further out.

looked a bit freaked by the water too didn't he?.

[StephenFrySaidSo]

ooh well spotted hashtag- he did try and put the others off canoeing, saying it was too expensive.

[hashtagwhatever]

who are we all blaming for taking phils money?

wouldn't fancy being in dexters shoes.

[StephenFrySaidSo]

I don't think it's gone- I think it's in abby's bag. but I reckon cindy had a good look for it. she was the one alone in the caravan wasn;t she?

[hashtagwhatever]

Exactly what I had said at home put it in the bag and keep the bag on your person.

yes I guess cindy takes the blame. or maybe the girl in the pub with dexter took it? she left before him??
