Don't forget squashed by a car lot your dad is smashing up with a small digger.

I thought that about the scan 80's Lauren was studying it closely and I was thinking Any minute now she's going to realise..
The trouble is, Stephen does have a small fairly narrow dog shaped head. Sad

Ive been on holiday for a couple of weeks, so watched last night's episode with absolutely no clue as to what was going on. Feel like I've caught up a bit now, though - thanks Grin.

I found everyone really annoying last night. To the point I questioned whether I could watch the whole episode (of course I did).

They really need to cull half the cast. I vote Abi and Steven to go first.

I'm really struggling with Lisa being back given how recently she's been in Casualty. My brain is desperately trying to reconcile the 2 characters. So far I've decided that she's actually the step-mother in Casualty but loves the boys like her own since she lost Louise. That's why she came so quickly - she's lost/alienated everyone in Holby so is completely free to come back to dote on Louise. I don't blame Louise for moving in with Phil if her step-family were the Ellisons!

I often have this problem with H&A & Neighbours who seem to swap actors regularly. Most of them are in witness protection in my mind! Grin

HoneyIshrunktheBiscuit · 25/07/2017 19:44

What's Stephen trying to do? I'm so lost?

Venella · 25/07/2017 19:46

34AQuid noooo! Not Steven and Abi! I reckon once you get back into it (?) and have watched a few more episodes, you'll change your mind about degrees of annoyingness and sort of play Big Brother with EE cast:
(in Geordie accent): 'who goes? You decide!'

MrsJayy · 25/07/2017 19:56

Oh god phill is a fecking nutter

DearMrDilkington · 25/07/2017 19:59

Bloody hell Phil! Bit rough Shock

The80sweregreat · 25/07/2017 20:01

Big cheer in the 80s 'ouse!
Phil is back, his lost the beard, is now a normal colour and he is shouting at people. Woo hoo.
Welcome back Phil.
Steves face at that door was funny. Yes, be does have a spaniel 'ead!
Sharon's hair..it used to be nice too.

MrsJayy · 25/07/2017 20:06

Andddd don't get me started on Steven jesus wept i was shouting run lauren run 😁

The80sweregreat · 25/07/2017 20:10

Mrsjayy, lauren looked like a woman going to the gallows rather than being proposed to!

Venella · 25/07/2017 20:10

There should always be at least one ticking timebomb psycho and one female wrong'un which has a bit more evil finesse going for her than being a school bully on The Square at any given time.

MrsJayy · 25/07/2017 20:14

Yeah it was a bit dead woman walking wasn't it ?although Abi's bambi eyes nearly exploded

34AQuid · 25/07/2017 20:17

So Phil's brush with death hasn't mellowed him out, then?

Jesus. Violent thug!

I hope Lisa gives him hell.

I can't stand Lisa Faulkner character, either. She should have stuck to baking

The80sweregreat · 25/07/2017 20:21

I agree that pushing her around was a bit much. Could have just shown her running off.
Funny how the whole square were in the pub together. Whats the chances? Lol.
This will send Abi over the edge.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 25/07/2017 20:21

I'm laughing at Abi's bambi eyes exploding. Grin

I prefer Sharon with a pony tail. All those layers must be annoying.

The80sweregreat · 25/07/2017 20:24

Her hair looks awful, she really should complain to the stylist.
( not that mine always looks great!)

BillyDaveysDaughter · 25/07/2017 20:27

Can somebody please remind me what the hell Phil is so mad about? All I remember is him being utterly vile to Lisa before she ran away somewhere with his baby, then she turned up and shot him in the street.

I don't remember her being a "baddie", what have I forgotten?

The80sweregreat · 25/07/2017 20:29

I dont know, she tried to kill him once , so that has still rankled a bit..would have to wiki the rest as cant remember. They mentioned a cliff , so itmust have been a big story.

MrsJayy · 25/07/2017 20:32

Lisa shot Phill tbf but Phill found lisa in in a (hot country) brought her to her knees stole louise a few years later peggy gave louise back to Lisa lisa scarpered again untill Louise phoned Phill. Itall stems from Lusa trying to pass Louise off as Mark Fowlers

MrsJayy · 25/07/2017 20:33

Lisa* Louise is named after Lou Beale.

MrsJayy · 25/07/2017 20:34

Oh yeah Phil had Lisa by the scruff over a cliff in the hot country

The80sweregreat · 25/07/2017 20:35

Oh yes, lisa was with mark once!
Its so complicated being a character in a soap!

dingdongdigeridoo · 25/07/2017 20:36

Has Abi been borrowing clothes from Dot? She really dresses like an old lady.

Lauren looked like she was going to throw up! I weirdly like the actor.

The80sweregreat · 25/07/2017 20:36

I vaguely remember it all kicking off. Twas a long time ago now.

BillyDaveysDaughter · 25/07/2017 20:38

I do recall the cliff scene and I thought Phil stole the baby having found out she was his...but then I couldn't remember how Lisa got Louise back for all those years! So Peggy handed her over?

Didn't Lisa keep Louise's paternity a secret because Phil had been knocking her about? The level of violence towards her tonight seemed a bit disproportionate, I mean, loads of people have tried to kill him and he's over them!
