Eastenders

numberplease I think the story is that Shabnam is going back to Pakistan. I don't think Kush will be with her.

Don't give spoilers!!! Some of us avoid the mags.

That episode really made me cry. And, I hope it was a reflection of how someone really would be handled now.

Me too, kitty.

I delivered my 'baby' in a ward full of 'older' women who had had prolapses repaired or hysterectomies. I suppose it could have been worse, I could have been on a labour ward! Did you have a similar experience Marelli?

Ninathenana, I do wish I hadn`t seen your post, I try to avoid learning what`s coming up next. Never mind.

kitty, no, I didn't have the same sort of experience as you, although I did lose my baby when he was three-and-a-half months old. I lost him to 'cot death' in 1968. The absolute despair that is felt when we lose a child is indescribable. I hope I haven't hurt anyone in mentioning this. Please forgive me, if I have.

Oh Marelli how desperately sad.

In those days there was no input from any services, Jane10. We just sort of....got on with it, really.

Yes I suppose you had to but that doesn't make it any easier. Its every mothers worst nightmare. I don't reckon anything would have helped except maybe talking about it.

Oh, Marelli, I'm sorry if I shouldn't have asked. It was all very different then wasn't it?.

Oh, kitty, . It'll always be with us, won't it, but these things did happen and we had to kind of deal with it more or less on our own with little support really. I remember my aunt asked the vicar to come and see me after the funeral (he didn't). I wouldn't have known what to say to him anyway. It was a strange time around then. I did go on to have another 2 children, but there'll always be that wee space there.

Does anyone else think that the scene of Ian about to jump off the bridge was not very well done? Empty road, only one car went past and there seemed to be no wind. I suppose they had to bring Kathy to Ian's notice somehow.

Didn't ring true. Was almost embarrassing watching Jane overact again. All a bit staged.

I also wondered why the car passing did not stop or the driver call the police. Man on bridge, car parked, woman pleading! What would you have done?

Lots of silly mistakes in the police/courtroom episodes. I don't think Walford Police are very good. They need to borrow a few detectives from other programmes!

I just think it gets worse, but still addicted. Stupid story lines, some good acting - being going a little too long, I feel.

I couldn't take my eyes off Ian's shoes! It's all getting a bit silly isn't it? Carol went out to get on her motor bike (as if!!) and had a make over on the way!

But, as PRINTMISS says, still addicted.

I thought the same about the passing cars.

Perhaps people do just pass on by these days.

On the topic of Carol, where was her luggage? She only had a small back pack. Maybe she was relying on make up and costumes to be following on behind!
What is the toy boy chap about? Is he going to be a fixture!

It's all getting even more beyond belief! Time for a rest I think.

So my post of 19th August was correct!
