Heartbreaking storyline to thoughtlessly shoe-horn into such a terrible string of episodes.

Redcrayons · 09/09/2017 10:05

So the Jase isn't Jays dad story isn't true? What's the point of that?

Theycalledmethewildrose · 09/09/2017 10:11

Bernie's scenes were touching. Abi's scene where she cried was very good too. But now for the enormous holes - craters- in the storylines!

Youd Lauren or Ian or Max wonder why was Abi sitting inside in intensive care while they all sat near the door?
When Steven said he loved Abi, did he think he was talking to Lauren or did he really love Abi and was just obsessed with Lauren?
Why did it take so long for Jane to be brought to the hospital. The ambulance would have diverted due to traffic reports.
I can't even comment on Johnny, Jack, Mick, the paramedic who it's happened to face the mirror giving instructions. Jack taking the phone camera to identify body parts was a scene that left me lost for words. Linda finding the right kit in the green bag immediately was another. Sonja doling out whatever was another.

MrsJayy · 09/09/2017 10:21

I thought the girl who plays bernie acted them all out of the park another ridiculous night why would Steven love Abi it makes no sense why would the ambulance just take johnny and not the other injured paramedics no sense 😕

MrsJayy · 09/09/2017 10:23

Oh and how dare Steven d ie

The80sweregreat · 09/09/2017 10:27

I want keanuuu to do well in life. Bernie to get over her loss and also do well at school. The Taylors to be alright. Karen getting a decent bra fitting would also make my day! Smile

MrsJayy · 09/09/2017 10:32

Karen needs the famous mumsnet bra intervention how do they straps not drive her nuts

AGnu · 09/09/2017 10:42

I wondered if the injured/ignored paramedic had gone in the air ambulance, possibly with the other paramedic hitching a ride. Perhaps he was considered a more urgent patient than Sausage given that his mum & random-neighbour-who-left-his-own-child's-party managed to stabilise him.

I think Abi will keep quiet about the paternity of the baby. She can smugly keep her secret that Steven said he loved her just before he died & reveal it in a few years in the middle of an argument.

I don't think Steven loved her though. I think he was desperate to be loved/accepted & wanted a real family that he could feel a part of. Abi was offering him that - it was the situation he loved, not her & if he'd lived I'd have given it maybe a maximum of 6 months after the baby was born before he was ignoring Abi/trying to run off with the baby while Abi tied herself in knots trying to make him actually love her. It could've been a great storyline with the possibility of getting really dark. They could've used it to explore non-violent, manipulative domestic abuse where the abuser gives the impression of being a loving family man but the dynamic is seriously messed up behind closed doors.

With no children of their own left on the square, Ian & Jane won't be as much of a presence. Unless bobby comes back early.

iknowimcoming · 09/09/2017 11:11

I wonder if the max and jane thing will now rumble on until Christmas when bobby will be released and max can reek his revenge by threatening bobby? Good point about Ian and jane - they will now have no kids in the square and no business to run, they did put a deposit down on a flat didn't they, not sure what the writers will do them now? Perhaps jane will try to adopt the spawn of Satan - she's always wanted a baby so maybe she could blackmail Max into persuading Abby to let her and Ian raise her baby? It was Steven that prevented her from having kids after all.

Also I'll put a fiver on Bernie (understandably) becoming depressed and trying to steal Stacey's baby when it's born Sad

Also why did no one take Stacey to hospital, she's pretty heavily pregnant, has injured her leg and is probably shocked yet she's in the vic eating her tea? super Sonia should be on that surely?

dingdongdigeridoo · 09/09/2017 11:19

I reckon Bobby will miraculously be left out of jail early, or Peter will come back just in time to get into a love triangle with pregnant sisters. I mean there's no way Lauren isn't knocked up.

AGnu · 09/09/2017 11:21

Sonia did tell her she ought to get her leg checked out. I'm sure Sonia has looked her over though so she'll be fine.

Ian & Jane do still have the cafe so it's not like they have no ties. Plus, half the point of them moving out was to give Steven & Lauren a family home. Presumably Lauren will eventually move out so that's not really a factor anymore. I can't see them going anywhere really. With Jane's new injuries they'll probably discover a cure for her previous difficulties & she'll be running up & down the stairs just in time for Bobby to come back & push her down them.

Bobby got 3yrs. He will be out after 1.5 for good behaviour which would be around oct/Dec time

I did like the little fag exchange between shirley and Karen it was nice shurl noticed she was upset although shirls not the most sympathetic with her there theres

Cary2012 · 09/09/2017 11:31

Linda's so going to have a fling with Jack. He's her hero, he's her Mick's best bud and his persil white t shirts will hypnotise her into a frenzy.

Max will try to bump off Jane, but she will expose him.

Abi will give birth to a boy and name him Fido.

And I rewound Thursday's and the number plate on the ambulance that Stevo was put in was the one that later crashed. Major continuity error.

amprev · 09/09/2017 11:32

I don't think we need to worry about pregnant/injured Stacey - she'll have had a bowl of Sonia's soggy cornflakes so will be back changing barrels by now.

MrsJayy · 09/09/2017 11:34

I kinda want Linda and Jack to have an affair i know i know Blush

amprev · 09/09/2017 11:46

It was only last week that it seemed like a Jack/Honey affair was on the cards - the crisp white tshirt is sending the women of the square wild for Jack.

Theycalledmethewildrose · 09/09/2017 11:55

So now who knows the truth about Steven's tumor? Max, Jane and Abi. Jane won't tell Ian because he will already be grieving. Max will then shout it out in the middle of an argument in the pub and say that Jane knew all along. Abi is now carrying Ian's grandchild so that will cause all sorts of problems as Ian will want to take care of her as his link to Steven once he finds out the baby is Stevens. I wonder when that will come out? He will also want to look after Lauren as his link to Peter. Isn't the actor who played Peter now in America doing films so he is not going to return to EE.

The Lauren/Abi/Steven story is more like the old EE.

MrsJayy · 09/09/2017 12:14

This is another secret Jane has the woman sure gets some whoppers it will probably break Ian and Jane up when it all comes out

The80sweregreat · 09/09/2017 12:25

i hate to throw a spanner in the works my lovelies, but Steven is not Ian's son. Cindy had an affair with Wicksy ( Patttts son) and he lives in New Zealand. steven went to live with dad, came back and had the jane shooting incident , then went away again ( it is hazy) then came back with with Lauren and Louis. Abi's baby is related to Max, but nothing to do with anyone left on the square, in' blood terms' at least.

Bobby's mum was Laura, who died. Jane adopted Bobby and we all know what happened there.. Ian's children and non children are Jane's cross to bear in life. If lauren is also pregnant ( we dont know , but its a possibility) then that would make them half brothers or sisters?
I miss Pat and frank, there was a time when most people could be traced back to Pat.
so funny who ever said that Jane will go down the stairs weeks after walking about again!! i crack up at all the possible stories that are thrown about, much better than anything they actually use !

mrswhiplington · 09/09/2017 12:26

Loved Karen and Bernie's scenes last night. Very realistic. Why oh why can't the rest of EE be like that? Too many characters with too many things going on, so they lose the quality of the acting and there really are some good actors in EE. It's such a shame.

Sorry to see Steven die. I think him and Abi together could have been great. Their baby would be like something out of the Exorcist.Grin

Hopefully Jane survives and Max doesn't get his evil hands on her. Can't believe Ian abandoned Jane just to sit in a hospital corridor with Lauren and Max.

The80sweregreat · 09/09/2017 12:27

Mrs jayy, Jack is a fallen Branning too and Linda is his type ( as someone pointed out) so i reakon she could be doing his laundry on the white wash by new year.
The Nanny wont be happy and there is still a random gun that could make its way back to the square one day.

Theycalledmethewildrose · 09/09/2017 12:44

I know Ian wasn't Stevens biological dad but he was Cindy's and Ian loved Cindy. Steven was Ian's first child even though he wasn't blood related.

The80sweregreat · 09/09/2017 12:45

Agnu, re: your Max summing up yesterday about how many people Max has finished off. Most people would be put away by now if it was real life!
