Mo is Kat's aunt by marriage, isn't she? Viv was Kat's mum.

No, she’s Kat’s grandmother.

Ah, thanks. very small age gaps then!

"Soooo Ravi" (Thomas Dolby voice ) " tell me about your childhood"

Totally agree! Tonight's episode was powerful and emotional (Ravi) and funny (Mark) all at once 👏

What Ravi did to Nugget is literally eating him up inside 😟

"He saw mum without her make-up on and called an ambulance" even when Oscar isn't in it, he's the best thing in it 😂

The Ravi Nugget thing is awful. 😞 I know it’s just a soap but it’s been really well done. Ravi’s descent into madness and his immaculate style disintegration is brilliant.
Nugget and Avani have been great actors throughout, as has Priya, it’s still awful though.
is it wrong that I’m finding Mark quite hot rn?
Presumably he and Lauren are going to have A Thing and all hell is going to break out?

ian was very gracious with Elaine tonight.
I absolutely hate superficial schmoozing and networking events with a passion and I really felt for her.

That’s a shame. He’s a lovely character. Maybe it will push Phil and Lexi together and he’ll train her up as a gangster apprentice, she won’t need school anymore

A gangster apprentice. Phil pointing at her ‘ your hired Lexi , here’s my safe security code and the baseball bat is under the stairs , right ? I’ll get you fixed up with a nice new Harrington jacket and a few contacts , stick with me kid. You don’t need school anymore , get it?’

Eastend School of Hard Knocks.
Mitchell University of Life

I loved that throwaway line about Oscar calling an ambulance for Cindy!

I am not a fan of Mark. And his threats towards that guy's family - just stop it. Those type of threats are the reason Ravi is crying in his flat and has padlocked his door. Can we not get away from the gangster mentality (too much to ask, I realise that!)

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but I saw an unofficial spoiler saying Louie confides in Sam he wasn’t the blackmailer. Why Louie will be talking to Sam escapes me but my money is on mark jr…

I’m surprised that the dodgy car man agreed to meet Lauren knowing what he’d done. Most wouid have said ‘ visit me ‘ instead on home turf. It’s a silly storyline to pull Mark into it all.

Didn’t Louie have the messages on his phone though?
Ian saw them all. Someone may have used his phone , but then he would have said ‘ it’s not me’ and he didn’t ..He just accepted it.

Ravi is a good actor and I like Priya , but this latest storyline is tedious and I hope it is wrapped up soon , especially as his now told Nugget the truth. What a thing to hear though , I caused me your epilepsy. Awful

lauren and Pet ahh are still together NYD. She does go over to another house to see someone and gets a weird text ‘ have you made up your mind ‘ ? but clearly Peter doesn’t know or it’s all a red herring.

Aaron Thiara is a fantastic actor

There’s great acting and I like the nods to realism in that that his mental health struggles haven’t been quickly resolved and that he would be waiting ages for therapy via the NHS, but part of me agrees with 80s that the story is tedious. I also can’t bring myself to sympathise even slightly with his character.

I agree. I feel I should be 'enjoying' it because the actors are all doing a good job, but I just want it to be over.

They have been good at hi lighting how hard it is to get help with MH issues or the menopause/ peri.
Many people I know are going private for loads of things including operations. It’s sad that only those who can afford it are getting the right help.
Honey ( odd one, but she got the help straight away ) Ravi ( Suki has offered ) they did it for Amy a while back. Another sign of the times.

I’m not sure how but I seem to have missed the end of yesterdays episode so felt it was a bit dull until I watched it back..

I love that they’re making an effort to highlight mental health struggles in a character who you would have never thought, and although he is a brilliant actor and they’re all doing such a good job, I feel production have missed something. We got bits of a build up but nothing secure that connected us back to the character for this week.

It all feels bitty, in my opinion. Like there’s bits of 100 storylines everywhere all the time and then the big finale of the storyline never gets justice.

I also would expect Suki to be much more in tune with the situation and needing to be more proactive.. so that took away from the episode too.. they’ve got so much out of character behaviours surrounding their storylines right now.

The Honey issue only seemed to arise to allow Bea to throw her fraudulently gained money at it. It was very rushed and didn't really go anywhere did it?

Hopefully they come back to it.. it needs much more focus than that. I also hope the producers and writers do it justice.

I thought that Suki is thinking more about the forthcoming fostering and adoption stuff and that’s why she hasn’t been as involved.
