So who killed Lucy?

Will Ben have a new head?

When will Grant know he has a son via Michelle?

And many other tantilising thoughts that are going through my mind while I'm laying on a sunny beach using maccy D's free wifi :)

So I've read that the Slater/Moon household is to be deliberately set on fire and at least one member of the family will have life threatening injuries

Really hoping it's not one of the babies, they've had enough sad baby storylines already with the baby swap and cot death etc

There's been more than one fire in that house already though hasn't there?

Mrsjayy · 27/07/2014 18:29

Oh no they do like a fire and explosion dont they

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2014 08:18

Grin at Dave. I'll be thinking of that every time she's on now.

I don't remember the Marcus Christie stuff but it was good to see Sharon back as she should be. Her character hasn't been quite right since she first came back as a runaway bride. Kick ass, big hair Sharon is more like it.

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2014 15:52

little intrigued how overtime of £460 = treatment at the baby clinic, ie ivf - average private ivf is £5/6k

DiaDuit · 28/07/2014 16:04

blondes that whole storyline is pissing me off. it was the same when they did it in emmerdale. wheeling and dealing (drugs!) to get the money for fertility treatment. surely if you have to resort to selling drugs for the money then you cant afford to actually raise a child? the common sense option of, you know, saving over time never comes into it does it? Hmm they all decide to have a baby and suddenly need the money next week for the treatment.

I vaguely remember marcus Christie but don't remember the storlyline. I agree it was fab to see Sharon all Shazza'd up again like she used to look back in the day. glad to see that ratty hair tied up and looking glam and they eye make up on. blast from the past. hope she stays and I'm now 100% convinced EE writers are copying directly from these threads Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2014 16:19

it pisses me and a tad close to home to me as i did private ivf in may and failed :( and cost thousands

even if you donated eggs etc, its still a few thousands, so how the hell will they afford ivf as often winge they cant afford food that week etc

rem marcus christie, he hasnt appeared yet, im tech watching tuesdays at the moment, havnt a clue how sky+ didnt record, bloody commonwealth games mucking up my tv Grin

Tbh knowing tina it will be some crook dr with a turkey baster 200 quid for the rest of the appointment is ridiculous, yes it is going to be great seeing sharon back on form

DiaDuit · 28/07/2014 16:25

ah blondes so sorry to hear that. see it's the ridiculousness of it being so far removed from reality, and of course their treatment will work first time most likely, because it's just that easy Hmm do a few hours overtime and bish bash bosh, a baby!

Coumarin · 28/07/2014 16:25

Maybe it's artificial insemination rather than ivf. No soap has ever got an ivf storyline right. It gets right in my tits.

Each of our private ivf/icsi cycles was about 7 grand and the cost is much higher in London.

Coumarin · 28/07/2014 16:26

Sorry to hear that Blondes it's shit isn't it. Thanks

Mrsjayy · 28/07/2014 16:29

It might be just a sperm clinic dont know how much that is surely not that cheap, who is having the baby I missed a week and a bit I was away

mismylinford · 28/07/2014 16:31

does all ivf have to be private for gay/lesbian couples? sorry kinda off subject.
i don't blame denise for drinking i would be!!
when is billy's daughter swimming fundraiser? (can't remember her name) im sure it was only 4 weeks away seems like ages since the mick can't swim thing started.

Coumarin · 28/07/2014 16:35

One half an hour consultation is £200 up here. In London I believe it's more than that. Then there are vaginal scans, they'll still have to take some drugs to regulate their cycle so it syncs in with the clinic and possibly progesterone after the insemination. Then follow up consultations. It's bollocks that they'd only need a few hundred.

Mrsjayy · 28/07/2014 16:35

I am not sure I guess they could do fertility tests on th e nhs first,

Coumarin · 28/07/2014 16:35

I hadn't picked up on Denise drinking. I like when it's a bit more subtle and not spelt out to the viewers. Or I was just being dense not noticing. Grin

Coumarin · 28/07/2014 16:38

MrsJ They'd only do hormone tests on nhs and then they'd have to pay for all of that ^ privately.

Suppose it's dramatic licence but I do wish a soap would do a fertility treatment storyline fairly accurately one day.
I'll shut up now. Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2014 17:13

coumarin totally shit :( - 30mins consult was £180 (kent) plus £3575 for scans/egg collection/transfer etc plus £1200 for drugs

if tv want to show a certain subject then they need to make sure facts are right, they said a while back they were doing ivf, so will also need sperm, which donor sperm is roughly £600, so least £5.5k for them

sorry, know off track, but as i said pisses me off

Mrsjayy · 28/07/2014 17:54

Enders is meant to be real you would think they would do it properly funniest one was phils fortnight crack addiction was on it off it back to the arches Hmm denise is my fovourite character I love her,

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2014 17:58

oh yes, locked in a room and suddenly was ok after a day or two

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2014 19:07

right have refreshed my memory with marcus

he conned samin 2004 by saying that phil was going on the run and needed cash asap, phil owned a share of the pub after marcus conned it from dan sullivan

so sam sold the pub to den (who wanted it back) and gave cash to marcus who then ran away with it, so phil is after him as well

den didnt care about the money as just wanted the pub

ps did anyone else notice that sharon needed her red infills done, i like nice nails Grin

OP posts:
DiaDuit · 28/07/2014 19:29

Ohh didnt notice her nails, i usually do! Grin

bleedingheart · 28/07/2014 20:29

Good duff-duff tonight!

I think the actress that plays Carol is excellent. Denise is played with nuance too.
