[Cocolepew]

Who was Jimbo that Dean was talking about? A brother?

[LineRunner]

What on earth do you mean, 'how could she be raped when....'?

[Cocolepew]

[LineRunner]

What an unfortunate turn this thread has taken.

MN has an ethos of 'we believe you'. This thread is about a tv soap drama of course, but to be victim blaming is still crap.

[bleedingheart]

Jimbo was Deano's brother who died before we 'met' the Kevin &
Shirley family members. He had cystic fibrosis. I believe Shirley left when he was quite young and didn't return for his funeral but I might be wrong.

Nearly 24 hours later and I'm still shaken by last nights episode. Fortunately I've never personally experienced anything similar, but I'm still shaken. I had no idea what was coming, as I hadn't seen any trailers, etc, and it was before 9pm. I really didn't expect anything that explicit at that time of the evening....and it was explicit. Dean doing up his trousers, and Linda collecting her knickers. The whole thing could have been done much more subtly. I know there will be those who say the subject shouldn't be covered in a lighter way, and I do see their point, but then it shouldn't be aired so early in the evening.


why DIdint she scream or fight him off etc

It's a survival instinct - if you think you can't physically run or fight, you freeze. (or something similar, but I'm very surprised someone has actually asked this!)


And surely if she is preg later on why didn't she get the map?

Are you serious? For the same reason she didn't immediately phone the police and have a medical examination. Nobody washes themselves in toilet bleach for fun!

Jimbo was Shirley's son. She had three children, Jimbo, Carly and Deano. Shirley walked out on them when they were children, and Jimbo died after suffering from cystic fibrosis. Carly and Deano have often remembered Jimbo very fondly.

[bleedingheart]

I can't stop thinking about it either. I thought it was realistic.

Link to We Believe You
Thanks awfully.

[Cocolepew]

Thanks, I didnt watch for years, only started again when Pat was dying.

[Cocolepew]

Good grief, Sharon is standing there like Carrie

[BastardGoDarkly]

Blondes way to be offensive through an entire post

Pretty sure it was the Irish policeman who picked up Peter's letter, do we know what it said?

[BastardGoDarkly]

Why do kids bedtime coincide with enders? I'll be back.....

[SilveryMoon]

I'm finding this episode much worse to be honest :-( Poor Linda. Tell Mick! And seeing your kids have breakfast at that table.

[Pyjamaramadrama]

There's just so many characters I don't like. I don't mind Tracey luv because she's a love to hate character, and her and Deirdre have some good scenes, but many of the characters now are just completely boring and pointless.

They're doing nothing useful with the more well known characters.

Fed up if David and Kylie rowing, making up, rowing, making up, he's being a pathetic weed and she's just a pain in the neck. Even the Gail and Michael scenes are cringy. I mean does anyone actually care about his genetic heart condition?

[Pyjamaramadrama]

Oh no, sorry wrong thread. Thought I was on the Corrie thread

[MrsCK]

They have been very careful not to use the word rape...apart from the intro before tonight's episode which sounded like a blunder. Did anyone else think that?

[BastardGoDarkly]

pyjama

[Redcoats]

Aw, poor Linda. Just tell Mick!

[Redcoats]

Side note, how fit is Charlie Cotton?

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Sorry didn't mean to be offensive :(

Just meant rape generally happens when alone and no one about to help

Dean took a huge risk with her /his family downstairs

Appolgizes again

[NuggetofPurestGreen]

Not sure when rape 'generally' happens .

Didn't watch last night, and won't now. Thought tonight was horrible though. Poor Linda. I wanted her to tell Mick too. That text message was awful!

[NuggetofPurestGreen]

I don't even watch anymore just caught the wedding episode last week so have been drawn back in.

[BastardGoDarkly]

What text message?! I've just finished watching it

It was awful :(

I sincerely hope they don't drag her not telling anyone on too long, it's so painful to watch.

[SilveryMoon]

Dean sent her a text thanking her for last night and saying he wouldn't tell anyone. Fucking sick bastard. And then he pitches up for dinner in her home around that table. This episode left me feeling sick

[BastardGoDarkly]

How did I miss the text?! When he walked into the kitchen though, my heart sank, I didn't know the actress that plays Linda could pull off a story line like this, but she's been very believable.

Sharon though is ridiculous, what does she do that eye thing for?!
