I like Abi and the character she plays. For me, she is one of the most interesting character developments in EE.

The80sweregreat · 02/08/2017 11:31

Sharon does tend to fluctuate. Abi does okay with a bad script i think.
Considering that Steven has shot jane in the past and isnt scared of a bit of violence, i am surprised how restrained he has been really.
no choice maybe.
maybe the Vic will be saved - ihope so really , would be a shame to see it gone.

Perhaps he'll get a temporary reprieve and last until Crufts

how are they going to do Steven had 3m to live without actually telling anyone else?

BadHairDay0 · 02/08/2017 12:50

Wildrose I love your prediction! Why didn't I see that one?!

Marrying Lauren in Sept, the secret comes out, Lauren turns to the booze, presumably they separate, then Steven gets custody of Louis. Gosh Max really has a icy heart!

I agree he needs to zero-in on Abi too. She was worse than Lauren in turning against him when it mattered. Surely he's got a plan for her too?

Akire · 02/08/2017 13:05

Well Abi has two part time jobs and lives in grotty student house so not much he can do to mess up her life!

The80sweregreat · 02/08/2017 13:26

Lauren could steal the X-ray and prove steven lied about being ill ( whenshe discovers the truth ) The fact he has previous for shooting jane ( jane could testify ) plus the fact he isnt Louis's real dad, surely the courts wouldnt let him have custody?
Dont know, but i bet how she finds out will be explosive. I feel a big story looming. Its got to end in tears!
Abi hasnt much to lose - maybe max and big will buy out the vets. Then sack her for stealing x rays.

sidesplittinglol · 02/08/2017 16:18

Oh I don't like Abi!

It probably will be the Xmas story?

sidesplittinglol · 02/08/2017 16:19

Second thoughts probably not

MyBeloved · 02/08/2017 18:28

Maybe there will be a 'Christmas Carol' special with actual Carol, coming back, along with the ghost of Peggy to show Max the error of his ways.

It'll end up with everyone eating a huge turkey at the Vic courtesy of Max.

Or maybe not.

OhTinky · 02/08/2017 18:36

Maybe they could put Steven in that strange cage wardrobe I saw once in the corner of Whitneys bedroom at the Vic. I think it was a wardrobe - might have been a rather large dog crate for Lady Di...
Can they not bring back Peter to sort out Steven? I think that would really make Steven crack up.

BadHairDay0 · 02/08/2017 20:59

DH has just suggested a big wedding drama with Abi stepping forward at the crucial "If anyone knows any reason why these two may not be joined..." moment.

youarenotkiddingme · 02/08/2017 21:26

"Does anyone know a reason why these 2 should not be joined in holy matrimony"

"Yes, I do. She's only marrying him because she thinks the dogs head x ray is a picture of his tumour and he's dying"

Duff duff duf duf duf duf duf duf

CorporalNobbyNobbs · 02/08/2017 21:43

I don't get though why he is after Lauren as she stuck by him

wildrose Peter told Lauren that Bobby had killed Lucy and she didn't tell anyone and fucked off to NZ and let Max go daaaahn for it.

CorporalNobbyNobbs · 02/08/2017 21:48

And I think she destroyed evidence about it as well

nancy75 · 02/08/2017 22:17

But Lauren did go to the police, she spoke to the policeman who was something to do with Max's dead policewoman girlfriend.

The80sweregreat · 02/08/2017 22:28

Nancy, lauren told the police about Bobby. They destroyed her statement. Its hazy, but i do remember her telling them.
She did try. Unlike abi.

Didn't I work out that bobby is due back about xmas. He got 3yrsbut will prob be out after 1.5 for good behaviour

So xmas storyline could be bobby home ........

Hope lauren won't marry Stephen in pity thinking he will die then Doesn't in 3mths aka halloweeen

Tbh lauren was the only one who stuck up for max yet he's trying to ruin her life

Where as abi thought her dad did it yet seems to be leaving her alone

Think Linda went oct /Nov

Blondes, that is funny- hoping spaniel head dies, but doesnt!!
Its hard being a soap character.
Who has ever pretended to be a dog?
Mind boggles.

@80's. Harsh I know but it's almost a solution to her problems .......

Queen Vic will stay a pub. Where else will they all go

If Louise fell on her back the surely that's the worst of the burns. It she always lying on her back - side or front would be better and rotations so skin doesn't get like bed sores

OP posts:
The80sweregreat · 02/08/2017 22:58

Its a solution, but unless he really does get ill, then his having major problems.
He could say he is off to lourdes ' im ok now lauren' it worked! Yay..

But then she would leave him. Rock and a hard place.
Glad that i dont have these kind of problems.

CorporalNobbyNobbs · 03/08/2017 02:45

She did go to the police but that was later on after she went to NZ and then came back. She knew for ages though and didn't do anything and by the time she said anything Max was already in court etc.

CorporalNobbyNobbs · 03/08/2017 02:47

And Abi didn't actually know Max was innocent unlike Lauren.

BadHairDay0 · 03/08/2017 08:39

I have a theory about Louise's front / back burn dilemma: Maybe falling onto her back extinguished those candles immediately, hence no back burns. But the fabric of her dress caught fire around the sides of her body and travelled upwards onto her chest.

Theycalledmethewildrose · 03/08/2017 09:35

Yes Bex said she saw Louise, presumably standing up, and her dress was on fire. In order for that to be the case, the flames caught her dress. Sorry for the horrific image.

How does Max know that Lauren knew? He hasn't seen Peter siunce he got out of prison. As far as he was aware, Lauren went to NZ, Peter told her, she came back and went to the police. Meanwhile, Abi believed from the first day that he was guilty!
