..Vincent's mum has got a very large 'front'', hasn't she?

I've never seen anything like it.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 30-Jun-16 10:17:30

I think she has.

Why doesn't Babe tell everyone in the pub that Babe is blackmailing her? She wouldn't have to tell them why.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 30-Jun-16 10:19:39

Oh. No. That wouldn't work. It's blackmail innit.

She could tell Linda in confidence. Or Shirley! Shirley could get Babe in an armlock.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 30-Jun-16 10:22:05

I didn't read your question right! Sorry! I thought you said Les.

Yes. Tell Mick.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 30-Jun-16 10:22:28

Would he laugh though?

Pittcity Thu 30-Jun-16 10:25:32

If I was Les I would've just marched into the Vic in full drag and got it over with!

I so want Babe to get some come uppence (I am such a sad muppet) need to get out more, I would if it stopped bl........ raininggrin

Great idea Pittcity! grin

Yes, I thought that is what he was going to do on yesterday's programme when Pam caught him. Why does she have two names BTW, Birdie and Pam?

Is it really that shocking in today's society that a man dresses up in womens clothes? It'd be tomorrow's chip paper for a day, that's all. Live and let live.

Tonight's episode really showcased the good actors. Gillian Taylforth was a bit unconvincing though and the ending was quite easy to predict.
Throws up a lot of possible new storylines though.

I have missed some episodes, but anyone else finding Eastenders a snoozefest lately?
I have come back to it to find a group of new young people for instance, and they are all boring. So far at least.

I think it has just been through the summer on half steam. Should pick up a bit next week with Grant back on the scene and the father of Denise's baby being revealed. Agree about the storylines with the younger ones being rather tedious. Not too long ago they seemed to use the summer to take them on holiday somewhere so the older ones got a break.

I agree the paternity issues are getting a bit tedious, relationships difficult to follow. The writers seem to be going for the shock factor rather than good story lines. Still keep watching though.

Pittcity Sun 04-Sept-16 09:18:10

Trouble is that it is the Mitchell brothers doing all the fathering. What exactly have they got going for them or am I missing something?

Jane10 Sun 04-Sept-16 09:20:24

Their irresistible charm has always eluded me. Martin however...

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 04-Sept-16 11:20:16

I've stopped watching. Too ridiculous. And boring.

Mind you, I've stopped bothering with Corrie also.

ninathenana Sun 04-Sept-16 16:24:41

Really Jane ? smile he certainly doesn't do it for me.

There's not a decent bloke among them, looks or personality wise IMHO

obieone Sun 04-Sept-16 16:32:44

Jay is doing his best? Masood on a good day?

Jane10 Sun 04-Sept-16 16:56:24

No nina none of them 'do it for me'. I just think Martin has grown into a fine looking young man. I don't understand Kush's apparent attraction either. He always reminds me of Klingon. Something about his furrowed brow I think.

Jane10 Sun 04-Sept-16 16:57:02

A Klingon!

Can someone please explain to me why Mark Fowler, who was born in the USA and has lived there all his life, speaks with a British accent?

By the way, I DO realise it's "only pretend" !!

Pittcity Sun 04-Sept-16 18:01:09

He said that he went to a British school Margsus

Margsus Sun 04-Sept-16 18:02:33

Thanks Pittcitty, I missed that bit. Even so......

Pittcity Sun 04-Sept-16 18:07:11

What confuses me is that they have told Mark that Michelle's husband Tim is his father but they have not given him his surname!

ninathenana Sun 04-Sept-16 18:58:04

Good point Pittcity I hadn't picked up on that.

Were he and Michelle married when Mark was born though. Quiet often children whose parents aren't married have mum's surname.
