Eastenders gossipers into the new year

[MagpieCursedTea]

New thread for Eastenders gossipers! Who will come back from the dead next?
Will the Bobby storyline ever end?
Will Claudette ever decide on an accent?

I decided that it was real at some times and not at others. Which would make sense given the rules about filming with babies.

The rubbing is probably to make Stacey seem agitated and fidgety. Kyle had it spot on when he described her as wired. I do remember having DDs in a sling and finding it impossible not to rub her though - like when you hold a baby and have to sway or have to push a pram back and forth if you are standing still holding one :)

Some of the mums where i work use slings and they rub the babies away not as frantic as stacey mind you must be a security thing.

Does anyone else like Kyle as a character? I think he came across really well.

I agree. He seems great.

He's likeable which is unusual for a Slater!

how did Kat not know she had twins? Even she seemed a bit ' what?' when June Whitfield told her this. I think that the Nuns must have sedated her after Zoe was born... cant think how she wouldn't have known?
Her mum was horrible keeping it from her. no wonder Kat is so messed up with everything. another long lost relative though. they are terrible at keeping family in Walford.
liked the look of Kyle, has he been in anything else?

Boots I studied babies fingers as well and yes sometimes twitched but was 100% was a fake baby in there at times

June Whitifed said Kat was completely out of it after having Zoe and had no idea what was going on. Kats brain could have rewritten history to fill in the blanks according to what she was told and experienced afterwards.

Although I agree is seems an unlikely storyline!

Claudette was a lovely lady at first, now she is a caricature.

That's becuase there are two Claudettes, one is a nice woman who lives alone and helps people, The other is a ganster monther who lives with Vincent.
Which one you get depends on the episode's writer.

So who is going to be Kat's son then? Someone familiar or someone new?

Maybe Kats son could be Charlie cotton, he sometimes had an irish accent.I know we already know who his parents are but that doesn't matter we can just pretend we have never seen him before!

I thought for a while that it was going to be Sean but when the nun said he was in Ireland, it made me think it would be someone new. The spin off is going to be in Ireland isn't it?

I think her son will only be seen in the spin off.
If she was sedated how did she push the baby out?
Kyle and his friend seem too normal for EE.

The actress who plays Kat's son's flat mate is diabolical isn't she?!

Was the brief for the audition "Look a bit like Kyle" ?

Oh god I said that to DP! I can't remember the last time I saw someone so shit on TV!

Kat mentioned Stacey not being well last night didn't she? Asked if she needed to see a doctor. So they're starting to build up to it I think.

Kyle isnt kats son

I thought Kyle was great too. Unusually likeable for a soap character.

From the trailers it looks like they aren't going to string Stacey's story out too long.

People are beginning to notice something is wrong but they've not realised how bad she is yet.

I'm sure Kyle will change once he starts drinking the tainted Albert Square water...

I think it all comes to a head this week

Kyle's flatmate looks and sounds like someone from Brookside but yet seems too young to be her? I think I'm thinking of Anna Friel's younger screen sister?

I'm hoping Kyle's friend won't be sticking around. Something about her is very annoying.

I agree I like Kyle so far but seems too "normal" to be part of it though, it's as if he's just wandered on to the set one day
