Surely not much longer to wait now until the new producer starts? Things must improve, mustn't they?

Hanging on by my fingernails at the minute.

The drug thing was stupid. It's supposed to be a hard pub if the off chance a weak woman comes in asking for drugs you may get away with it. But surely 99% of time the drug seeker would be more likely to turn up with a few mates and sort you out.

When Izzy said she'd just put Jake down, I was a bit Shock that someone would do that just before the child's non-resident dad arrived for his tea! And that Gary didn't bat an eyelid or say he would just pop in to see him!

I think the writers buggered off to the pub about a year ago and never came back.

The actors are making it up as they go along, winging it on a minute by minute basis.

Hmm
MadHattersWineParty · 26/02/2016 22:50

Yes exactly!!

'Oh I've just put him down'

What a bloody cop out to escape dealing with the you know, actual realism of a small child clamouring about while you're trying to cook a spag Bol for five (with extra oregano Grin ) and excited about seeing his dad.... At about 6pm in the evening....

Seeyounearertime · 26/02/2016 23:19

I actually think it would be better if this were true. Grin

right now, every story line is more or less the same and could be ended by someone simply telling someone something.

Carla and Tracy, Carla tells Nick, story over
Izzy and pain, Izzy tells Gary, problems start sorting
Anna and Phelan, Anna tells everyone what happened, Phelans power is gone.
Eva and the "Slave" girl, Eva calls the police, Slave girl is housed, safe etc.
Ches and Sinead, Ches is a bit jealous, tells Sinead, she reassure him and no problem.

But obviously no one is allowed to use common sense and would rather be blackmailed, tortured and abused etc.

BreconBeBuggered · 26/02/2016 23:47

I was so desperately bored by the factory scenes tonight. It was like somebody telling you in minute detail about a tedious and entirely inconsequential day at work. Shuuut uuuuuuuuuup.

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 27/02/2016 01:04

So place your bets - who gets the bistro?

Akire · 27/02/2016 01:09

Tough call smalllegs will it be Leanne and will she woulnt she lose someone's inheritance when it goes tits up or will we have Tracey gloating that's she now made it and 90% straight bocotte it....,,

Incidentally how many business has Tracey own or wanted to own?

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 27/02/2016 09:34

I am thinking Carla goes, Nick stays but somehow ends up co owning with Leanne.

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 27/02/2016 09:36

I am thinking Carla goes, Nick atays but somehow ends up co owning with Leanne.

Please don't make it Leanne and legoman with a furious vengeful Tracey across the street. Leanne has had enough rubbish men to last a lifetime but legoman does seem to have a soft spot. He could be Simon's new, new, new dad.

AnguaResurgam · 27/02/2016 09:40

"So place your bets - who gets the bistro?"

No-one.

Or at least that's what I hope for.

When is the new team coming in? I hope there won't be any big changes between now and then (other than those necessitated by actors leaving).

Bistro should stay Nick's, but please no more musical beds. Love triangles can be interesting, but the Nick/Leanne/Peter/Carla quartet had been done to death, so adding Robert really isn't interesting.

ajandjjmum · 27/02/2016 10:05

Maybe Leanne and Nick could get back together - he was lovely with Simon.

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 10:40

I am watching on ITV2.

Quick query. Why did Deidre leave money to non blood relative Simon? Why didn't all her estate go to Ken?

desperatehousewife21 · 27/02/2016 10:48

Is Zeedan supposed to be interested in that new girl because whenever he is near her he seems to just scowl and look at her like he can't stand her!?
Also HOW are his chef whites so white?? He obv doesn't do much cooking back there.

Rachel0Greep · 27/02/2016 11:06

I only half watched some of last night, so I'm not sure how much Deirdre left to Simon? Is this the first time it has been mentioned that she left something to him, and did she leave money to Amy too?

I wouldn't have thought she had very much money, tbh.

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 11:11

YY how much are we talking?

I have just caught up. it's getting virtually impossible to watch. Tracyluv is just awful, the same thing over and over.

Rachel0Greep · 27/02/2016 11:31

I skipped most episodes this week. I can't take any more. When Tracyluv came knocking on Carla's door last night, I just thought oh FFS, here we go again.

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 11:36

YY exactly. There's only so much sneering and bitchy comments you can take before being very Hmm.
We know Tracyluv is supposed to be very bitchy and unlikeable and does nothing else at all but every single episode? Gone from unlikeable to unbelievable. Not convinced the actress is very good either.

southeastdweller · 27/02/2016 11:44

There isn't a single story I'm interested in now but I'm still watching, I think because of habit and goodwill. The writers are really scraping the barrel with the Sinead modelling story.

Kate Oates starts next month.

Rachel0Greep · 27/02/2016 11:44

I'm hoping she will be sidelined when the new producer takes over. It's almost become the Tracy show at this stage, and it's the same old drivel over and over.

I found this on Digital Spy about the inheritance, almost 100k each to Amy and Si... Hmm

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 15:05

Oh no. Have just read some of the spoilers in next week's TV magazine in the paper. Bethany/Sarah Lou are back. Hmm

eddiemairswife · 27/02/2016 19:31

I wonder why Eva had to get Simon from football. If it is at a distance she would have had to get the bus, but Ken has a car, and if it was nearer surely he could come back on his own. Also how did Leanne get a loan so quickly? Nothing seems to be thought through.

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 27/02/2016 19:56

I believe when it came out they did say it was an insurance policy left in trust between Simon and Amy.

She would also have had a pension (probably an ok one between working for council and medical centre)

But I thought it was more like 50000 each (which for insurance and pension would be believable)

absolutelynotfabulous · 27/02/2016 20:38

So Deirdre left 200k to be split between the two grandkids?

Mmm...

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 20:40

Did TracyLuv not get anything?

It's all a bit convenient isn't it?
