£325K Whitney really is stupid to think they could afford that

And why the hell did Lee lie about his job and being big boss

And his boss is nasty and a bully !!!

The vegan meal did look rank :( so what job will she be doing around the square

Is the funeral parlour not locked up. Surely nobody can just walk in like Billy's son did

And yes stealing from the dead. How low !!! :(

Here's a tasty ring
Pretty little thing
Wouldn't want to waste it
That would really be a crime
Thank you sir, I'm in your debt
Here's another toy
Take it off the boy
His heart's no longer going
And he's lived his little time
But his watch is ticking yet.

Sorry! The plots have got so boring I'm turning Jay into a Les Mis character. I love Jay. Wish they'd stop giving him so much misery. He's one of the ones we'd like to see succeed and be happy. How can he be turned around after this? If they mess Jay's character up beyond redemption I'll be pissed off.

The80sweregreat · 11/11/2016 17:01

Enid, well said. They are messing with Jays character and its not good.
Libby needs a make over, bless her.

Optimist1 · 11/11/2016 18:00

I like Libby, Super ! Yes, she's frumpy and too serious but her heart's in the right place. It was shocking to hear about the actress's brother's murder the other day www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/man-stabbed-to-death-in-goodmayes-is-brother-of-eastenders-star-belinda-owusu-a3392011.html

Akire · 11/11/2016 18:30

I'm guessing Libby with her degree her masters and now half a PHD will of course take over Denise job when she goes on maternity leave in the shop.....

can't see why Billy would let William go back surely anyone could been in parlour , relatives etc to just walk in! He really cares for Jay so can't see him saying anything.

Did we find out who was black mailing him can't remember what for?

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/11/2016 18:33

I think it's the drugs he had to steal and poured down loo

Feel a bit sorry for roxy. She could take her dd to school or pick her up some days

Kamil couldn't get into the school???thats why home schooled by masood - first time a kid didn't get in

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/11/2016 19:15

Agree, Blondes, Jay has got himself in a mess with the cocaine dealing, (and shovelling up his nose.)

Libby's not awful, but she's not doing herself any favours by marching about being so sanctimonious and preaching to everyone Grin. She talks to her mum in such a patronising way! Surely a daughter would discuss moving home after a long time away, not just announce it. Confused

As a pp said, it's a lazy storyline to poke fun at vegetarians with the notion that they all eat tofu and lentils. The attempts at injecting humour into EE are failing miserably at the moment.

I know little about funerals, but I was quite surprised someone would be buried wearing expensive jewellery. I thought it would go to the next of kin.

Akire · 11/11/2016 20:36

Nooo we like Blinda!! hope she comes back. Now we have more can't pay rent saga. Did I blank out but why did she just leave Maz? Last week she had option of him leanding money no strings or going out, that didn't last long

Akire · 11/11/2016 20:37

Oh and as if Densise would just say I've been sacked knowing you can't be sacked when pregnancy especially when you have been there for years and years. Where did 10m paid maternity pay come from? She be lucky to get 10m paid from zero hours contract!

dingdongdigeridoo · 11/11/2016 20:53

I don't think Belinda is gone for good. Seemed a bit of a rushed exit. Maybe the actor needed some time off?

Denise will get statutory maternity pay for 6 months. She's been at the shop for years though. Dunno how she'd be on zero hours.

Akire · 11/11/2016 21:06

The way she said it was like full pay for ten months not around £140 a week for ten months. Still can't get over uni deciding she can take time off over non urgent matter.

As for vegan deit surely you say if coyrse dear you can cook twice a week and we eat vegan then but who decided milk in coffee is so bad! This rate it be asda 6points for £1.20 not £1.20 one pint of oat milk

EnidButton · 11/11/2016 21:56

Wtf? Belinda has gone?? Belinda is great.

Pah. I know a lot of people are saying the new producer is going back to the roots of EE and things are slow burners but it feels like he's messing it up tbh. I switched the Archers on a couple of months ago as everyone was raving about it and nearly died of boredom. If that's what he's doing then I hope he pisses off back to Ambridge sooner rather than later.

HarryPottersMagicWand · 11/11/2016 22:28

My god it's getting on my tits lately. So boring and tedious and really unrealistic.

Don't understand why Denise doesn't tell her sanctimonious daughter to do one and as an adult she we can eat whatever the bloody hell she wants.

Jay stealing from a dead body!

Roxie was a shit mum who fucked off and left her daughter. She brought it on herself and I have no sympathy for her. At least Jack and Ronnie are giving her stability.

Denise can't be sacked (he said they have to do and risk assessment, he did not say she had lost her job) as she is pregnant. Surely she would know that.

Lee and Whitney and this ridiculous loan/overpriced flat stuff.

Stacey and yet more money problems. Boring!

Carmel in general.

'Cassandra's' (Only Fools and Horses) dreadful dreadful acting. She was ok in OFAH, what happened.

The whole tedious Christmas play crap.

Abi, the most boring and pointless character ever.

Various characters being explained away with norovirus. Won't be surprised if Linda doesn't go down with it for 6 months.

Florathefern · 11/11/2016 23:18

Aghhh I watched it again after saying that I wouldn't. Sorry to see Belinda go but I'd say she will be back. Martin just carried on getting ready for his house warming party. I'd have assumed he'd have broken down in tears because without Belinda's rent, they can't afford to pay their landlord this month but nope, despite Martin's continuous concern when she was paying, her sudden departure didn't phase him in the least.

The scene with Jay and Roxy was silly. Would a stall holder in London really hang their handbag from a rail for the day? I'd have thought a stall holder in a small village market would be highly unlikely to do that, let alone a stall holder in London.

EnidButton · 11/11/2016 23:38

Did they have Jay steal again? Ffs Angry

Florathefern · 12/11/2016 00:04

No he attempted to steal from Roxy's handbag which was conveniently left hanging on a rail to the side of the stall. Some clothes fell off the rail when he pulled the bag which alerted her and she stopped him.

Instead he is going to 'work for' the druglords he owes money to to pay off his debt. What would that involve? Dealing drugs? Carrying them around? I presume it is very hard to get out of an 'arrangement' like that if he gets involved but then I suppose he is already involved in them. Perhaps it shows people/viewers how awful that world is but I doubt there are many drug dealers sitting at home watching EE and seeing the error of their ways so what is the point!!!

EnidButton · 12/11/2016 00:41

I have noticed the weak storylines that are happening feel like 'Issue' storylines. I don't like it when they're obvious. It feels a bit patronising. Like when they shoehorned the '4 out of 5 women' fact into the miscarriage story. Think it was Whitney telling Jonny or something. Good to raise awareness (?) I suppose but does it have to be so blunt like one of those down with kids informative programmes they used to play on the Big Telly On Wheels at school.

Sorry, tangent. Point is, we know drugs are bad. Jay's story needs something else adding to it other than a by numbers depiction of a good person spiralling downwards.

No idea if any if that makes sense. Should've posted before I took my sleeping tablet. Grin

SoupDragon · 12/11/2016 07:00

Has Denise been estranged from Libby at any point? Is that why she can't tell her to shut up?

It bears saying again : has no one noticed that Jay stole money from Cokers? S anaside, why would there have been that much cash about - do people usually pay for funerals in Cash?

dingdongdigeridoo · 12/11/2016 08:17

After Libby's abortion they fell out for a while. Dunno if it was a dull estrangement. Denise was awful during that storyline. I don't think I would have spoken to my mother again if she behaved that way.

Maybe Libby will use her half a PhD to open a vegan cafe on the square. We may finally get some east London hipsters!

Yeah the money thing made no sense to me either. If they have a load of cash around they'd have a safe surely?

MrsJayy · 12/11/2016 08:26

Noo Blindas left for Italy i love Blinda Sad this week has been rubbish I do like Libby though she has always been bossy and whingy. How did Whit find Lees work ? Does she really think Lee is some executive she really cant think lee the fishmonger runs an office, ridiculous storyline. I hate what they are doing with Jay pretty meh week I feel an enders break coming on.

Optimist1 · 12/11/2016 08:47

Re time off from uni - deferring a PhD is quite common and not at all frowned on.
Re milk in coffee - Libby is a vegan so no animal products at all!

MrsJayy · 12/11/2016 08:55

I just read the actress who plays Libby brother was murdered the other night outside a Club Sad

The80sweregreat · 12/11/2016 09:40

Mrsjayy, i read that too. Poor girl. Nasty horrible world we live in.
I do like Libby though, at least she is an intelligent positive girl, not shouty or tarty.

Sad to see Belinda leave so soon. What a way to go!
Maybe Stacey could sell the left over products on the internet? Or re open the salon with a business loan?

SinisterBumFacedCat · 12/11/2016 10:12

I fell asleep through most of last nights ep and briefly woke when Belinda left, I thought it was part of my dream!

Shame, although I didn't like the way her character was heading, I thought she might be a good match for Max when he returns. Also her Fringe flick was developing a life of its own.

MrsJayy · 12/11/2016 11:03

Blindas busom could have been a replacement for MB it was very THERE
