I fast forwarded most of the George stuff.
🥱

the80sweregreat · 27/08/2024 11:06

George and his siblings deserved their own episode that wasn't with the club crush , but maybe Junior will reconcile them.

Southeastdweller · 27/08/2024 11:21

The George story bores me, also I found it distracting that the actor playing Kobina had a shit Ghanaian accent.

I am not sure why Chelsea seems to be held solely responsible, it looked really badly organised. An incompetent bouncer, useless comms, and the fire exit blocked by a bin.

this with bells on

the80sweregreat · 27/08/2024 11:53

It would have been a rubbish night there anyway ! Hardly any mint or limes for the cocktails and Kim as the main act. As much as I love her, I doubt she would have been great.
It also looked a bit bigger in there as the camera panned away too.
Penny might be done for not clearing the exits , but it's bound to be Chelsea who gets it in the neck.

Southeastdweller · 27/08/2024 12:05

I’d have thought Penny was the one who would get done as she has the most responsibility because she’s the manager so should have properly overseen things?

the80sweregreat · 27/08/2024 12:10

Penny mentioned the exits but was distracted and forgot to check them ( or ask Chelsea too) and a bin was put in the way of the door.

Yes - the buck stops with Penny

Did look ridiculous with the "crushed" people, with room around them

I'm watching EE Classic at the moment ,
Sonia and Martin are signing the legal documents for Rebecca's guardianship ( Sonia has left Martin )
Sonia's voice is so soft , even when she's arguing , not like now Shock

Aquarius1234 · 27/08/2024 14:13

I'm glad they didn't crush Penny. Even if in real life that would totally happen.

Ah before Sonia turned bisexual.
I used to really like James Bye the newer Martin but I'm not feeling his acting anymore.
Can't stand Reiss now as he's becoming evil and I didn't see it before.

the80sweregreat · 27/08/2024 14:19

Martin does seem to have gone off the boil a bit lately. He hasn't really had any good stories for a while and a bit part at times.

Itisjustmyopinion · 27/08/2024 15:00

Just caught up on the last few episodes. Didn’t see any spoilers about the crush so that was surprising

But yet again another episode where the younger kids were completely forgotten. Who was looking after Louis, Raymond, Sharon’s son whose name I can’t remember when everyone else was either in the club, Vic, hospital or running around the Square?

Having a kid is like having a car on Albert Square, they only appear when the storyline needs them

the80sweregreat · 27/08/2024 15:14

Where the younger children are is always a mystery.
Jordon might have been with Denise, but her and Jack rushed off today leaving him there
Ditto Albie , who apparently starts school next week and Sharon is in court and misses his first day. Can't remember who they said takes him, probs Phil

the80sweregreat · 27/08/2024 20:17

Seems to be all about the trial next week and the week after Chrissie Watts shows up apparently! ( as predicted on Facebook spoilers a while back )

BrownBirdWelcomesWhiteWave · 28/08/2024 09:03

Kathy and Bernie talking about Sharon and her living with phil "bad people etc"

Kathy said "Max started that rumour"
What was the rumour?

BrownBirdWelcomesWhiteWave · 28/08/2024 09:14

Why do they always show people with autism on the major end of the scale? I know plenty of people with autism (including my DS) and its so annoying - George's brother clearly couldnt hold down a standard job, but most of the people I know can.

My DS with autism has graduated from Uni, my nephew, same.

I know its a spectrum, but FFS

the80sweregreat · 28/08/2024 09:15

I've no idea what Bernie was on about there or the Max references by Kathy ? Max left years ago.
Sharon did try to poison Ian , so I understand why Bernie thinks that she murdered Keanu tbh , but the rest went a bit over my head.
Kat is on crutches now ! Must have been an accident in real life , but they have worked it into the scripts.

the80sweregreat · 28/08/2024 09:17

Where was George's other brother ? Why did he leave the one with autism alone in the cafe?

Shellingbynight · 28/08/2024 09:59

Last night’s episode was quite mixed, I like the initial club scenes, looked realistic, but it turned a bit odd when the rescue services arrived, and there were bods in high viz wandering around Peggy’s doing nothing when there were bodies strewn on the floor! And people taking ages to find loved ones just for the drama. And I agree, how did Penny, in a wheelchair, not get crushed? It is all the more unbelievable a fire exit would be inaccessible when she has to regularly use them herself, she can't use the main entrance.

Cindy and Junior - why do they get into every blasted storyline?

I did not feel at all sorry for Penny, she is horrible. I suppose it should have been obvious it would be Amy worst affected, because she didn’t want to go in the first place and shouldn’t have been there, so various people will be feeling guilty. And Jack will storm around shouting. I agree it looks as if he and Dee will get back together.

Me and OH were shouting ‘who is looking after Louis’ (yet again) when Peter and Lauren were having their drama, because Kathy certainly wasn’t.

I didn’t like George’s brothers, I had enough of that storyline at the time, much as I like George, and the whole thing seemed like too much when added to the club drama.

Agree with this. Can't see the point of introducing 2 new characters in the form of George's brothers. They didn't seem particularly friendly or warm towards George.

Plus, I thought he was only 10 years old when he witnessed Eddie kick his father to death, not 15?!? Why didnt he explain that it was him admitting the truth after all these years that resulted in getting Eddie locked up? So justice for their father.

Meredusoleil · 28/08/2024 10:08

They might not even know that Eddie was George's adoptive dad? Despite Angela saying they knew everything, they obviously didn't!

Southeastdweller · 28/08/2024 10:24

It's not looking good for Penny now she's been arrested (the police checked the laptop and saw someone had illegally changed the ticket allocation).

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 28/08/2024 10:43

It was Chelsea today who was arrested as they discovered about her changing the capacity numbers online. The police came into the hospital.
When Ollie sabotaged that cassette tape the clock said 12 midnight or something ( very late anyway ) why wasn't he asleep ?
I'm sure that it was always 15 when George saw his real dad being killed , but I might be wrong ( he was doing the boxing by then )
Most people would get changed after a day like that with the crush and George's brothers etc , but Elaine still wore the same outfit she had on during the day time even down to the hair accessories!

Southeastdweller · 28/08/2024 10:56

No, it was Penny @the80sweregreat as she's responsible being the manager.
