Eastenders...

[LoveBeingAMummyKissingSanta]

This is it, tomorrows the day when when it all comes out!!!!!

oh yes, between the "this cannot be true" and the "oh crap, she doesn't realise she has been taken advantage of" and after/before all the other reactions

tbh tinsel I think the writers were being very careful not to let any violence into the scene so as not to detract from the main issue of the child abuse - but maybe I am overthinking it.

It was a brilliant episode. Great TV. Patsy Palmer was superb.
And Tony is NOT fit.

I hope I never have to hear his creepy voice again tbh - and I hope Patsy gets some kind of TV award for it.

as I have not been watching EE much, only really last / this week, when it stood by the door I did think "blimey, those ears!"

thumbelf, I think you're right but I also think it's not that far removed for her character in the situation.

I think your first thought would be "it's not true" and probably anger that she's lying like that, which is why I made it the first realisation. Until you realise it's true you can't get past the other realisations.

Sorry I'm a latecomer to this. Didn't get online last night. Just wanted to say what an AMAZING episode it was last night.

Someone give Patsy Palmer a BAFTA. I've got newfound respect for her. I thought that was an incredible piece of acting on her part. Really raw and believable. I felt sick watching it and I blubbed the whole way through

I agree, it was totally believable and pretty harrowing - patsy palmer was great.

Flipping norma!!!!!!

Does anyone know when Danielle tells Ronnie she is long lost daughter though?

Maybe that'll be xmas too

I never watch Eastenders as dh can't bear soaps.

But last night I caught it on a repeat channel and thought it was a brilliant episode. 'Bianca' character was v. believable. Was still thinking about it today!

i think the danielle storyline might come out with all the amy/sean/jack stuff on christmas day

Is last nights episode repeated apart from on iplayer?

Was it on last night? On a Wednesday?

Stupid police woman looking down her nose and shaking her head! Don't they think it would be specialist coppers who would be used to people's reactions? Gah, they're not a very caring bunch are they?

liam hugging his mum, and taking the little ones out of the way just made me cry...what a situation to be in

Pat seems to be missing the point somewhat at the mo - she needs to be enlightened into Whitney's thinking she is in lurve with slimy teapot-ears. Whitney needs to be told about Lauren, that might shake her up a bit,

I take back everything negative I said about tuesdays(?) episode. Last night was brilliant!! Bianca was fantastic.
Ricky makes me laugh, he's such a sapp, I love him!
Tiffany's so cute and I did shed at tear at how grown up Liam was towards his mum and the little ones.
I wonder how long it'll take for everyone to realise that Whitney is 'in love' with Tony and honestly believes it's not abuse and everything else. They are ll assuming it was very sordid and she's been living in fear etc. It's not Pat's fault she's a bit clueless.......

But it is abuse! He's made her feel that way to protect himself, that's what grooming is about. He's an adult and she was 12, how else can you explain it? If a 12 year old "throws themselves" at a 30 something man he has the power to resist and he should. What would he see in a 12 year old?

Uurgh, DD is 12 almost. It makes my skin crawl but has had a big impact on her and dd2.
For one, they now no longer think of pervs just being hairy old men and I am glad.

Thumbelf. Lol at slimy teapot ears!

Now i just want Roxy and Sean to move to the country with a slide and swing and live hapily ever after with Amy. Then Ronnie to be overjoyed at finding Danielle.

It will never happen though will it?

settle down tinsel, we all know it's abuse regardless of how Whit thinks she feels about it!

I'm settled. Sorry LBB, I think I dropped a word the first time I read your post, reading it just sounds different to what I remembered

Dh went to bed whilst I watched the 10pm bbc3 showing, I was crying.

TBM I wasn't saying it isn't abuse, I was saying that tha's not how Whitney sees it iyswim and that's what Pat and everyone else has to come to realise. I meant that they're probably thinking she's been laying awake shaking with fear when it's not been like that, I didn't for a second mean to come across like I thought it is ok or anything.....
You already know I don't proof read my posts, prob should've bolded the key words..
