People on Digital Spy seem to think that this is leading to a transgender coming out story for Les and a the moment only Vincent's mum knows his secret. Make of that what you will.

I hope not, if Les is the first Transgander character they mentioned it's going to be like something from are you being served rather than a serious storyline about transgander issues.

So true!

In regards to the Lucy investigation. Was Jane ever questioned? Am sure the police would have asked her where she was. She was with Masood and then received a phone call from Bobby. So did she say she was with Masood all that time and he backed her up? And didn't that ring alarm bells for Masood? Or did she say she went to see Bobby (remember at this time she wasn't living at the Beale home) and wouldn't the police have asked Bobby to confirm? And wouldn't Bobby have told the police what happened??

Max is covering for Abi (in his eyes) but I think it's going to come out of somewhere out the blue who it really is and probably not anytime soon.

Jake is taking a year out so does he get put away for a year? Would probably tie in with Jacqueline (presumably) returning from maternity leave, writing Lauren back in

Fakebook · 30/07/2015 12:08

I'm sure they were casting a real life transgendered actor/actress so not sure Les would fit in to that, unless he's a cross dresser and starts an affair with someone who then joins the cast. It should be an interesting story and very "now".

differentnameforthis · 30/07/2015 13:26

Sorry, but I don't think the actor who play Les or the woman who plays Vincent's mum (can't care about her enough to know her 'new' name) are good enough actors to pull off such a story line, so I hope there isn't going to be a transgender storyline involving either one of them!

I just saw a clip of her arguing with Paul on fb, I don't think she is very good at all, tbh.

Someone suggested he was Vincent's father, that would be more believable. I think he might be Sharon's too..or doesn't she care about that any more?

Wait a second, the guy who plays Les is an actor, when did that happen????!?!?!?!Shock

I'm going to need proof of him acting.

#where'sDenny

The other day Sharon, Phil, Ben and Abi were sat having breakfast together. No sign of Denny :/

Must be in Janet's cupboard

southeastdweller · 30/07/2015 18:55

Fakebook is right about the producers casting a transgender person so it can't be that as a story for Les and Claudette. I noticed a few episodes ago that Les said to Claudette he needed her 'support - I now think Agnu is right about him having an addiction, like porn or alcohol.

Gambling? All the red letters coming to the business

ArtfulPuss · 30/07/2015 21:33

Can I just ask, WTAF was Sonia wearing?

CrapBag · 30/07/2015 21:46

artful I thought exactly the same. I think the costume department have a bet on to see how ridiculous they can make her look!

Like Stacey couldn't have taken on Abi the Brat! That was ridiculous.

Not impressed with hearing the word bastard at that time of the evening.

Poor Pam, she is lovely and really like a Nan. The whole Les Claudette thing is boring me. But it's definitely not an affair. The way Claudette said to Les about Paul telling Vincent they are having an affair, you know that's not the truth. I'm going with gambling too. But why would he go on holiday with her if she was his sponsor?

Who does Claudette actually think she is FFS! She does like to Lord it about and think she is something special.

southeastdweller · 30/07/2015 21:50

Gambling seems more likely.

Sonia is such a nagging frump - God knows what Tina sees in her.

Les didn't go on holiday with Claudette, Crapbag. He was there on his yearly jolly with old friends, Claudette was there too, probably to give some kind of support.

woodhill · 30/07/2015 21:54

Les is awful and belongs to a 70s sitcom

Fakebook · 30/07/2015 22:46

I agree, I don't think it's an affair either now. Why would Vincent ask Claudette if she wanted his help to keep Paul quiet? (I can't remember his exact words). I wonder what her job is. She's not a foster parent anymore. Maybe her job entails helping people? We've never actually seen Les kiss Claudette properly on the lips (not that we'd want to!)

Yy, Sonia's clothes! She goes for the sophisticated nurse look and misses by few hundred miles and heads straight for "frumpsville". Tina looked equally ridiculous dressed up like Emu.

misstiredbuthappy · 30/07/2015 22:55

Why did Carol call Max a bastard ? They dont normally swear on EE Hmm

ArtfulPuss · 30/07/2015 23:23

That business with Claudette admiring Pam's dress, and Pam responding 'the day my Les thinks a dress is beautiful is the day the dead rise up and start walking' (or something). Either the transgender theories are right, or the scriptwriters are reading this thread and messing with our minds…

ArtfulPuss · 30/07/2015 23:24

italics fail

MagpieCursedTea · 30/07/2015 23:24

I was quite shocked by the 'bastard' line! Maybe I'm getting a bit too sensitive in my old age Blush

What was the graffiti that Jay was looking at on the bench?

And to clear up the ridiculous Lola exit, it is because Newcastle is an amazing place that is worth giving up everything you know and love for, we have a Greggs on every corner.

CrapBag · 30/07/2015 23:45

I thought they did go on holiday together but that lads thing is something Les has told Pam because he can't say "oh I'm going away with your oldest friend?"

The graffiti on the bench was the name of Jay's dad. Sad

I've complained about the swearing. I swear as much as the next person on a night out or on here but it's not at all appropriate at 7.55 pm when younger children are likely to be up. And it wasn't even necessary. I hate the way casual swearing is creeping into everyday life now. Radio 1 always seem to be saying ass and crap. Even an episode od Location Location Location had Kirsty saying ass the other day. Not appropriate language for the daytime when children are listening.

In that news item, last night's writer says he was allowed to put in the word 'bastard'.

SheHasAWildHeart · 31/07/2015 09:12

His dads name.

How is ass inappropriate?

"this property is located right next to wobern safari park, it shares a fence with the monkeys, tigers and asses."

SheHasAWildHeart · 31/07/2015 11:47

Yesterday when Les was doing his "I love my wife" speech, I found it hilarious. I stopped watching EE for two years so have no idea where Les, Pam, Paul, Claudette, Donna and Vincent all appeared from - but it's like some crap school of acting, and viewers are supposed to care about them? They take up too much screen time. Are Kush and Stacey no longer in love? Has Shirley seen Jade again? Are Lee and Nancy getting help with depression/epilepsy? Has Sonia been buying her clothes from the market??
