The Mitchell men are behaving like toddlers.
I wish they could just grow up a bit.

Ravi and the cereal boxes confused me in that opening scene😭

I can’t believe Priya has two TINY plasters on her head after that crash and everyone else looks more or less unscathed.

I thought Ross Kemp’s acting was a bit better this time round and his reaction to seeing Nigel and the crying outside his room was well done. But he is quite a limited actor and the shouty, boorish behaviour really is his default.

I’m also completely confused as to how he ruined Vicky’s life. Since he didn’t recognise her at all he presumably hasn’t seen her since she was a toddler so WTF was she going on about??

Priya and the others looked ok didn’t they !
At least Cindy had a bruise!

Priya is also always immaculate no matter what crisis is engulfing her. She walked out of the burning car with her hair and make-up in place. Even in the depths of despair when visiting Ravi in the hospital she looks pristine.

Yep, Priya always looks great! Despite all the angst.
Phil needs to grow up and go and see his mate. He needs to face up to it all.
He is annoying me!

I also don’t understand why Mark is suddenly so concerned about Phil not seeing Nigel, to
the point he felt the need to call Grant. I know it was for plot reasons in order to bring Grant back but it’s inconsistent with Mark’s character. Up to now he has shown zero interest in Nigel’s welfare. Now overnight he has flipped from a hard man preoccupied with drugs, cars and money to caring about his uncle visiting an old friend with dementia.

Most young men like Mark wouldn’t give a fig about their dad’s old friend or his uncle! Too busy chasing women and wheeling and dealing.
It was nice to see them all together, but Phil is so hostile it’s becoming a bit predictable that he’ll kick off.

Until Zack gets his top off…

Maybe Mark wants a handout from his old dad? As not had much contact with him for years.

Oh were they cereal boxes? I got a bit confused with the psychiatrist (?) with him, thought maybe he was from the Sikh temple? But maybe that’s how Ravi was partly hearing him?

Why didn’t Grant tell Phil the truth about Nigel calling him Phil? That might have chilled him the fuck out a bit?! 😆

Oh, and Grant. What a selfish, self centred and immature man he is.

I remember Grant beating up Phil over ‘ Sharon gate ‘and all the rest of it.
Those two are the like East end Gallagher brothers!

I love how Grunt could park anywhere in east London.
No parking permits being found for him.

They certainly had/have a love hate relationship unless they were going after the same enemies together.

I know right! And must be a hire car too. Unless he got a ferry via Portugal Spain route with his motor.

Grunt! 🤣

I hated today’s episode. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I wasn’t too bothered by today’s one. The Mitchell feuds are old hat now. The cereal boxes was also strange. Max is good value though.

Very strange how the cereal boxes in the hospital were exactly the same as the ones on the kitchen table in the flat……why?!

Ravi needs to disappear off screen for a while this storyline is boring me.

I agree Ravi needs to do his recovery off screen, I am so bored with his mental health. And surely Priya realises that it’s the illness talking, he hasn’t really ‘dumped her’.

Whereas I am really interested in Phil and his terror of returning to the pit of despair. (I always thought Mark was tall but I don’t think he is, when he was standing next to Sam he’s only slightly taller than her).

Grant is already getting on my nerves, blaming everyone despite not taking any interest in Nigel for the past year, and ignoring Sam’s calls.

They keep harping on about what great fun the Slaters are, ooh look even when sharing one bathroom between 14 they have can a song and a laugh at 8am. 🙄

Priya and the tiny plasters! Cindy said her legs are badly bruised too although she didn’t seem to be in much pain! I do like her and Max together but it’ll end in disaster.

I thought it was quite a good episode, more good than bad.

Grant is being unreasonable isn’t he.

He’s hallucinating?

The bathroom palaver and all the talk of Mo needing to do a number 2 made me🤢. So Kat, Alfie, the twins, Tommy, Zoe, Jasmine and Mo are all living there. And Lily and Charli were also there at some point. Riiight. Meanwhile Jean is rattling around a big old house on her own (paying for it how??)

Cindy’s legs were allegedly injured but she was able to run quickly enough to break up Max and Linda’s conversation. I can’t work out if she is genuinely into Max or actually plotting against him. It’s hard to believe she would just forgive and forget what happened to Steven.
