What I don't understand is why Nancy wants to get sterilised NOW when she is about to get divorced?!?

Also, if she is paying yo get it done privately, why fly half way around the world for it when she could have just done it in NZ?

SoupDragon · 30/04/2021 08:18

Oh yes, that gym smells of sweaty wannabe boxers! It's soaked into the concrete floor and the bare walls.

I suppose if Nancy had had it done in NZ she wouldn't have had to come back into the show 😂 I suspect that's the main reason. I'm guessing this is why she and Tam are splitting up - he wants children and she doesn't.

Yes indeed. Must be why.
UhtredRagnarson · 30/04/2021 08:23

I wonder if Jay will go to the new gym.... Grin

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2021 08:27

Goodness knows about the gym set up, looked empty apart from a few dumbbells and where were the running machines Sharon bought after having them replaced when they fell off the lorry that time? It used to have a boxing ring when Ronnie and Jack were involved with it , but that has gone. Wasn't it named after Jim Branning ?
It looks too rough to attract yummy mummy types!
I had to laugh when Nancy said ' I used to live in a gym ' or something the other day. Very convenient.
I know a few people who swear by CBD oil for various aliments and some use it for their pet dogs when they are poorly. I guess it's just the over the counter one.
I wouldn't have let my child go off on their own at that age. They could have both walked to the presentation place ( was it school ? ) or Mitch could have gone in the car with Isaac too? That was just odd. I would have been asking many many questions there , especially' staying with Amy ' bit!

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2021 08:40

I was actually shocked hearing the word ' sterilization' as it's always pregnancies and unwanted babies on EE and contraception is very hit and miss!
I'm glad that Honey stood up to Estelle and Suki. Estelle seems another fake one to me , her accent is so grating. She is creaming off the profits I bet! What she sees in Billy I've no idea.

lazymum99 · 30/04/2021 08:49

Well she’s way older than Billy. The actress must be about 70. He’s her bit of rough!

Yes! Bailey's about 10 isn't she? Year 5 or 6 I think. No way would I have let mine go off like that without confirmation of what they said. And a sleepover with Amy who is at secondary...? AND she took the dog with her 😂

But this is Eastenders, home of lax parenting.

SoupDragon · 30/04/2021 09:51

I think the award thing was a national competition so might have been somewhere in London rather than at school.

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2021 10:24

Bailey can travel free on public transport in London.
He still could have asked Isaac for a lift with Bailey though! Why didn't he do this?
She is a minor and needs a chaperone! Mitch is an idiot.

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2021 10:31

It is getting so silly lately.
Too many inconsistencies to mention , but when it starts winding me up I know I'm getting bored with it.
Plus we now have ' ballum' to look forwards to and weddings rarely run smoothly ! Bound to end in tears.

MatthewHBpig · 30/04/2021 10:37

Bailey is year 7. Same as Amy Mitchell I think. They have same uniform- the primary uniform was royal blue.

SoupDragon · 30/04/2021 10:57

Isaac is a primary teacher though - why is he involved? (I know this - it's because he is the Square's teacher 😂)

Poor Bailey

And really that poor can’t find train fare

Ask Bernie. Or why isn’t she giving her money to pay for Baileys stuff

lazymum99 · 30/04/2021 11:58

My kids grew up in London and I definitely wouldn’t have let them travel alone in the evening on the tube. I think they started coming home from school on tube from about 11/12 but with friends.
Is no one going to notice dog has gone. Also Bailey is not friendly with Amy. They are like chalk and cheese. Where is Karen in all this?
I thought Bailey was at the primary that Isaac teaches at (although he’s never there)

lazymum99 · 30/04/2021 12:00

Ok I’m wrong. Just looked it up. She is in year 7 at walford high.

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2021 12:05

Isaac must be a secondary school teacher then is he? Maybe he taught her at primary level.
Am confused as to where the presentation was and why they thought she had already won it ? ( did I miss something there ? ) it felt a bit strange all round and confused. She lied about getting the trip paid for too ?
Mitch just assumed she was getting a lift as well! Idiot

I think Mitch was more preoccupied about getting to the job he had just been given. But what that would be at that time of night, I don't know 🤨
the80sweregreat · 30/04/2021 12:37

Mitch the night time plumber.
Just thought of something. If he had his van and was able to get to this mystery job short notice, why couldn't he have taken Bailey to the presentation first then on the job ? Safety first , clients can wait.
It was so conflicted and confused wasnt it?
I know it's only a soap but the way they mangle the stories so they could have ' girl has run away from home' one is ridiculous.
( does he still have his van ? He must have )

Akire · 30/04/2021 12:54

Yes free travel for kids on bus in London but not adults. Their school could be quite a walk away I don’t know any kids that walk to high school some areas don’t have any of their own.

eatsleepread · 30/04/2021 12:56

The whole Mitch/competition thing is stupid. Was Eastenders always unrealistic like this, or is it just that modern day viewers expect constant drama? Hmm

SoupDragon · 30/04/2021 13:08

The competition was an external one that Bailey knows she won I think. Space Camp or something. The evening thing was just to present her with the award.

It's all a bit messy because no one wants to talk to each other about it and everyone is lying about something. Plus it's eastenders.

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2021 13:10

I think we saw the secondary school once when there was a storyline about it when the bus got stuck under the bridge a few years ago. It did seem out the way.

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2021 13:12

Anyway, Bailey has run off now :( which is sad as she feels a burden on them all.
I hope they find her quickly. Which won't be until they discover that she didn't stay with Amy at all.

SoupDragon · 30/04/2021 13:13

They have had the secondary school in it properly when Bex/Lou/Keegan were there in their final years.
