I do rather like oscar. He’s funny and reminds me so much of max. I assume max will be coming back soon to see his son and maybe meet his daughter - she’s a mini max as well

So we have Mitchell’s galore and mummy Mitchell is getting notches on her bed post with a few in the square 😂😂

we have a wedding to look forward to. Sept 1 - in the bloody Vic again - that’s if they get married and yeah man Patrick doesn’t lose all his money (and howies)

kat and Alfie own the vic, still not sure how got a mortgage for the rest in 2 days - plus poor Stacey - that money was for her kids

talking of money - suki is gonna buy a baby. That’s if goes ahead with the idiotic plan. Esp once Ravi and Priya know - I’m still hoping Avain has an abortion.

Vicky still owes shaza thousands and def isn’t paying back £2k a month like she said

joel isn’t a nice boy and needs to taught a lesson or five - he will get into more trouble

glad Nigel has his wife and now to find someone for Phil. Prob be shazza - if she ever returns. Assume she has some personal stuff going on in real life

can’t think of anything else but sure I’ve missed loads our

Thanks '80 's .
See...I was getting confused because she seems massively over involved for a recent /2-3 year addition in his life .

She acts like she has brought him up since babyhood and treats him like she would her own son.

Ross is a useless dad .....mins you he wasn't much better on Casualty either ! 😅

Omg he's terrible!
His dreadful overacting and I keep expecting him to do a Fleabag and start winking and having a chat with the camera
Painful

He is absolutely awful. Chucking himself about and that dreadful monotone voice that has no inflection.

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/08/2025 17:08

I wouid say 18mthe or so as she was with Spencer Alfie’s Brother

Avani baby storyline is crazy! And no way would she let herself be talked into having a baby by Suki.

Calm down Oscar …. We know you’re supposed to have ADHD and life with Tanya hasn’t been a picnic but the over acting, leaping about and projecting to the imaginary audience in the balcony is getting a bit ridiculous. And wtf Lauren…. Are you going to actually perjure yourself?

feel sorry for Howie with Kim banging on about him not earning enough. Or is she keeping the family afloat with her insta following and (very occasional) shifts at the hair salon ?

Glad it’s not just me who is finding the actor playing Oscar totally irritating and overacting. He’s out of his depth. Surely he can’t have been the only choice for the part. It’s embarrassing. He’s behaving like he’s performing in Hamlet or something.

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/08/2025 13:56

I think that’s the character he plays. He does remind me of max so much

I like the actor playing Oscar. It's a complex character and a foil to Joel, the actor playing him is equally good. Strong roles for younger people but these two male characters have more dimensions to them than the younger female characters - who just seem to end up dealing with pregnancy. Not great for diversity and inclusion.

Zippidydoodah · 09/08/2025 14:14

I like Oscar! I think he plays the part really well. ADHD all over (reminds me of my son, and also terrifies me a bit that my son will end up in prison like him….)

Zippidydoodah · 09/08/2025 14:15

I think the actor who plays Lily is excellent, and I also think Amy is good. Avani gets on my nerves.

He’s dreadful isn’t he, I think the only reason he got the part is he does look like Max, his acting skills are like something out of a silent movie, completely over the top.

Well tbf, I think Avani was an interesting character and very well acted until this latest bizarre baby storyline. And Nugget and Denzel, all quite believable. I just don’t see any interesting dimensions to Oscar, he’s a bad ‘un who, having had zero contact with Lauren for years, is suddenly (over) acting like family means everything to him. On the other hand I do think the actor playing Joel is very good; he has a real range of emotions and the dynamic between him and other actors is really convincing

Makemydaypunk · 09/08/2025 15:12

I agree Joel is very good, I go from wanting to punch him and then feeling sorry for him when he was crying!

Catpiece · 09/08/2025 16:35

The actor playing Joel is great. He’s able to portray innocence and an absolute snake at the same time.

Joel as a character doesn't deserve any sympathy and that's good acting for someone so young.

Catpiece · 09/08/2025 16:41

If you compare the acting abilities of the chap playing Joel to those of the one playing Oscar they’re poles apart. He’s got it all wrong and he’s not even a Cockney. What can he have been told to do by the director? Leap about like a pound shop Brian Blessed? Hope he buggers off soon

murasaki · 09/08/2025 16:43

Yep, they seem miles apart in terms of acting potential.

Agree. The actor playing Joel is totally believable, like he’s immersed in the character. Conversely, watching Oscar, I’m conscious of the actor acting if you see what I mean. Trying. Very. Hard. To. Act.

murasaki · 09/08/2025 16:51

Totally agree with you.

I see Joel as Joel and Oscar as a cartoon.

Catpiece · 09/08/2025 17:01

Yes the actor playing Joel is totally immersed in the character. He’s acting the dad off the screen. (That actor plays himself in everything. Wasn't he in The Bill years ago?) Lily and Avani are excellent. Don’t see the point of Nugget, Denzil or Amy and where on earth is Ricky these days??

bizzey · 11/08/2025 20:19

So are they going to pass it off as a miscarriage to Suki ?

Truth will bound to come out and Suki will go crazy.
Wonder if this means a split fo her and Evelyn ?

placemats · 11/08/2025 20:35

So glad that Avani has seen sense (the adults around her are senseless).

Joel is a horrible little shit and his father is a close second.

bizzey · 11/08/2025 20:57

Sorry ...just seen noticed that my post has put Eve's name as Evelyn !!

Zippidydoodah · 11/08/2025 21:50

I’m also pleased that Avani has realised she was only making the choice suki wanted.

also, I flipping love eve (and always have!)

suki should be ashamed of herself for trying to pressurise her 16 year old granddaughter to have the baby for her. Terrible behaviour.

Upwiththisiwillnotput · 11/08/2025 22:21

I’ve said it before but Eve is easily the best Mum on the Square!

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/08/2025 13:58

Watching By the pool. Im glad eve is helping avaini
