Well, you are being satirical Lois, but I happen to have read some spoilers and the new family does come complete with an issue which will provide the scriptwriters with some valuable educational opportunities.

So we can all rest easy on that score

Oh thank God for that. Sleep easy everyone

Apparently, according to ''What's on TV', the Taylors have a 'mysterious secret'. Hehe - can't wait

I watched "Legend" on channel 4 last night (Tom Hardy as the Kray twins). Sorry I cropped auff your head, Christopher Eccleston.
This made me laugh:

Venella

The Taylors look a nice family... Not!
Secrets, problems, a dog..no doubt they will turn out ok in the end though! ( or be written out by new year)

Going to watch Legend tonight, Venella - I'll look out for that endorsement!

Did anyone else spot Lola (? Billy's granddaughter) on Casualty last night? She had no baby, but otherwise was exactly like she had been in EE!

"Filthy cockney bastards."

Optimist it's almost right at the beginning.
Enjoy the film (probably the wrong word, considering the subject).
I didn't notice any rhyming slang but might have missed it.

Interesting that the "subtitle people" spelled it that way!

Re Lola: ah, typecasting, that double edged sword!

Ann Mitchell aka Cora is supporting labour in the election: I scrolled to her little speech about pensioners and thought it was actually Cora for a second and that EE had began informing the public about elections and voting 😆.

I quite liked Legend, Venella - a bit longer than it needed to be, but otherwise a good watch. Interesting that Barbara Windsor got only a passing mention in that, whereas in her recent TV biopic we were led to believe that she was much more closely involved with the Krays.

Hate -

How has Stephen not realised she could be pregnant

There used to be so many new posts after an episode...now, i think we're all clinging on!

Stephen is such an arse. If my partner swanned about lazily making a cup of tea whilst I was trying to get out the door to work and feed a child...he's that intent on stalking her and yet not really putting the effort in when she is there...

What exactly is it that Lauren does in her job and how long has she been working there? Suddenly she's giving presentations to investors and said she had been 'working on it for weeks.'
Why was Louise wearing a school skirt so short it almost showed her knickers?
How much longer must we endure the agony-fest that is Denise, her self-pity and clever-arse references to 'irony' and 'metaphor'. It's one lousy GCSE, not a Master's in Eng Lit.

Steven is gross. He will go ape when he sees her tracker at the clinic!
So, Dee has given up on her benefits claim? All those great poems, all that angst, all that heartache and shes given up??
Beyond annoyed.

Well yes, I was expect more messages than that! Lauren patronising work woman "who knoew you could have it all" er it's not 1977 any more! Agree where have all Lauren skills snort charm come from? She only did GCSE yet all of sudden she can woe top business people by her quirky insights. What was that about I need leave work now urgent and she couldn't leave baby in highchaor for 2min it took stephen 3 metres away to make a cup of tea. He wasn't even eating it anyway! Are we supposed believe she only had one clean work top? Which looked perfectly ok no stains but still wore the jacket?

Can only imagine Steven will see where she is and fake an emergency. You think he want her work so they can get own place. So do they have Ian James upstairs room and kid/s be in Lucy's old room cosy

Least Kim nearly got Denise to admit she was stupid, not sure if lush take back mind.

I also was at everyone's skirt length! Who starts a play this time of year?

Least we had no drama from the Vil tonight, so less miserable faces all round.

It’s sad but true and that’s no lie
Perhaps it’s time to say goodbye.
It used to be fun but now it’s bleak
A big fat yawn, three times a week.
We no longer care, who gives a stuff
If daft Denise stamps off in a huff.
The sun has set on life in the East and
EE, it seems, is over, deceased.
It would take a miracle, it must be said
For EE to arise, like Kaff, from the dead.

That's bloody amazing! I couldn't make one up if my life depended on it.

Thank you Akire. I am sure you underestimate yourself.
Anyway, I have been so inspired by Denise's foray into the English canon of great literature that I thought I'd have a go myself .

Mrsb, iits so true!
Great poem. Shame the soap is so dull.

I miss Eastenders as it was. It was such a great escape when needed. Wish they'd get someone new to run it.

Enid, we should start a petition.
Bring back the crazy stories we loved.

Yes! Or even a little bit of drama. If I wanted cold reality I'd sit on a bench in town all afternoon. It's gone from one extreme- sisters drowning at the stroke of midnight, people coming back from the dead- to another- bins and GCSEs-.

I know the previous stuff was far fetched but I always wanted to find out what happens next.

*happened

I caught a bit of Corrie last week when they had their week of specials (on after 9pm ) and 10 minutes of one episode had more happening than a month of EE does now. I might start watching Corrie again.

There has to be a line between social problems and things that probably wouldnt happen in real,life.
A mix. This new guy hasnt found out how to do this.
All these monologues and navel gazing, it seems a bit false.
