Eastenders -"We want a Sherlock emoticon, and we want it now!"

[Rivercam]

Couldn't see a new Eastenders thread, so I thought I'd start one. Apologies if this is a duplication.

Great to hear Christian could be coming back.

Poor Shabnam

Yes.

First time newspaper report?

Hmmmm

Cog, Linda told them and they believe her.

I wasn't sure what she meant by "first time" either. At first I thought she was a serial baby-abandoner! But perhaps she means her first one-night stand??

I think she means the first time she had sex. As in, this is what happened the first time.

Ah ok honeybear that makes sense

She has been a surrogate a dodgy 1 all backhanded and secretative I think

Poor Shabs I wonder if she will go looking for her daugther now Stacey knows?

Yy Honeybear, it was meant to be something along the lines of very paraphrased 'one good looking guy and I just give up and sleep with him' and Stacey says 'but it was just one time' and then Shabnam says 'no, this was the first time', newspaper article, but it wasn't very clear and instead seemed like Shabnam was saying newspaper article this is the first time I left my baby on a doorstep.
I'm glad the storyline is headed in that direction, wanted something a bit new and interesting. And I was finding Shabnam a bit dull just going around the square judging everybody.

I do like Shabnam's hair as well!

serial baby-abandoner! yes it was a bit confusing.. and did she actually leave her baby on a doorstep ?

Her hair is lovely

So Shabs abandoned Her baby on a doorstep

So who do we think was her baby's father? How long ago did she leave the square and what were the circumstances?

Maybe we'll find out tomorrow where the money came from.

Just went on Wikipedia She left for Pakistan after lots of to-ing and fro-ing over being a good Muslim girl vs going pole dancing with Dawn There's mention of a snog but I don't think she's meant to have had sex at that point.

Ooo that's different (Door step baby). I hope they take this further and Stacey helps her to track the baby down. Surely that must be where it's heading as Shabnam really seems to be falling apart.

I agree that Dean getting sent to prison is possibly unrealistic. He is seriously annoying me though with the way he thinks he can just waltz into the pub knowing what he did and what they all know about him.

Is Ronnie ever going to wake up?! She seems to have been forgotten about. And why is Sharon taking the blame for Ben! Just tell Phil ffs, he's bound to find out anyway.

Does Denny still exist!

Shabs was a pole dancer WHAT

Oh I forgot Ronnie was in a coma

God I'd forgotten all about Ronnie. There's too much going on, I can't keep up.

I thought 'the first time' meant she'd dumped a baby more than once. Which even for EE is a bit much. First time she had sex makes Much more sense.

When they announced the rape storyline they said that he wouldn't go to jail, because that's the reality of this kind of attack.

I think Max's orange look is for Strictly. They film something like 6 weeks in advance and he was in it right up to the end.

Has anyone else been watching the 'Back to Ours' episodes on iplayer? (Where the actors watch some of their key scenes back). Just saw the Roxy & Ronnie one, it was brilliant!

Oh I saw those advertised on telly tonight are they all on iplayer

Vashta I just finished watching 2 of the episodes on iplayer. The one with Ronnie and Roxy was so funny (apart from one storyline in the middle).

Definitely watching the other one tomorrow! Yes Mrsjayy two on iplayer so far.
