New thread before the other fills up.

It is going the same way as Corrie - crap writing, no storyline continuity, hopeless actors trying to carry plotlines well beyond their ability.

Why is Gobby suddenly having to save for a new boiler and looking wistfully at expensive dresses in shop windows? What happened to all the money they must have got when they sold the family home due to inheriting a new home? And then what happened to the money they got when they sold that new home to buy a smaller home when they downsized?

And Jimmi hasn't washed his hands in weeks.

Hasn't Doctors always had appalling writing? I think the problem is it is just taking itself too seriously now?

cinnamongreyhound · 01/03/2016 17:02

She's been sucked in super easily, but Jimmi and al seemed strangely interested too!

Aeysha wouldn't have given it too him, she's supposed to be tough from the estate. Why was she such a push over? Not a lot gobbyplod could do without evidence. Let's hope she goes back to 6tls and leaves her hideous mother to it!

And yet another sad patient story!

I have a theory that the producers have decided that the writers' objective for the next year is to win at the Soap Awards. Or TV baftas.

They have decided the only way to achieve this goal is to write increasingly miserable storylines, cause anguish by getting rid of favourite characters, and ditching all elements of 'fluff'.

It won't work.

I'm about ready to take a Doctors break, it's hardly the funny light escapism I want to watch after a day at work. Crap acting, crap themes and crappy characters I don't give a f....fig for Sad

That miserable low life shouldn't have a name like Ike, because I like Ike but not him. Raahh he'll soon leave hopefully & we can forget all about him.

toldmywrath · 01/03/2016 21:49

She should have kneed him in the groin & why she didn't is beyond me. That door must have had superduper sound insulation for Bren not to hear Eeesh & evilIke. c.r.a.p.

Re- bereavement (although I know everyone is different) the actors come across as just slightly put out- no emotions at all. Where do they get these actors from?

Raahh · 01/03/2016 22:00

told- it did seem like a bit of an inconvenience.

I recognise this woman- I think it s theimprobably named Beverley Hills, who was in Tikkabilla (with Mrs T ).

How can they know about Ike after a few days?

OP posts:
Raahh · 02/03/2016 13:59

Oh he's a client?

OP posts:
Raahh · 02/03/2016 14:01

yes- in work. Not good Gobby. She will end up getting sacked, and another of our favourite characters will leave.

Raahh · 02/03/2016 14:09

Oh my, you were lucky Gobby.

The potd is boring. How often do we need an STI storyline?

I don't get why he lied? Oh- revenge for his dad.

OP posts:
ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 02/03/2016 14:11

Raahh · 02/03/2016 14:12
