Oh shock
Not at all what I was expecting.

Although I had a lurking suspicion that we were going to see "something nasty in the woodshed" from the very beginning ???

Why delete this one and not the others on BBC TV threads confused

henetha Alfie was flat lining on the table, so no he didn't survive surgery.

I understood it to be a series on it's own Nellie with just a loose connection to 'enders. BTW she found Zoe's twin in elisode 2.
I'm not sure it even had the same script writers.

Is there not going to be another series? Crikey. In that case, last night's episode was ridiculous with endless hanging threads unresolved. How annoying!
Surely they can't just leave it there, can they? Does Alfie survive the surgery; does Kat get rescued? Does the truth come out about Dermot?

Well, that turned out to be a waste of six hours, less the times when I fell asleep! Kat was supposed to have taken Tommy to the shore to see the whale but didn't see him after that, maybe the whale ate him? Every time Dermot popped up it reminded me of Damien, was he in The Omen? I think they were considering doing another series but the viewing figures dropped and now it looks like the whole thing is left hanging. At least they could drop a few lines into EE to explain Kat and Alfie's fates. If anyone cares by now of course.

Well stupid plot lines like that is why I stopped watching.

"The baby Kat is looking for is Zoes twin brother, she was never told there was a second baby although born at the same time."
I can take that drama is just a made up story that but when the EE scriptwriters keep dropping the odd totally improbable story lines like that one I just stopped watching.

I cannot enjoy any Drama that does not have some semblence of a reasonably likely plotline.

It is a soap and soaps are normally about peoples lives over a long period of time. To keep introducing odd new relatives who have never been seen before is too much to take. Not to mention the same scenarios coming back every few years with different people.

It makes the whole story into a parody of itself and loses any credibilty. Too many deaths out side the Queen Vic.
Or Holby city and Casualty with incidents their regular helicopters crashing into the outpatient entrances etc. Patients relatives wandering about eth wards and the total lack of security and privacy.

I was watching repeats of "Waiting for God" yesterday that works because it is obviously designed to be a OTT because it is funny in a way that the stories always have more than a grain of truth in the scenarios.

He was talked about, Kat told the copper where he was when they chatted in the garden. Though I can't remember what she said !

Pittcity Fri 23-Jun-17 09:10:59

Where was Tommy last night? I must have missed a bit.

ninathenana Fri 23-Jun-17 00:12:10

I agree callgirl is she or isn't she ?
Quiet a few loose ends

callgirl1 Thu 22-Jun-17 21:47:16

Well, just watched the last episode, only to be left with the feeling that the last few pages of the script have gone missing. Expected a conclusion, there wasn`t one, disappointing.

Pittcity Fri 19-May-17 17:17:53

Bert and Ernie are the twins left in Spain. ...poor things!

Alima Fri 19-May-17 16:23:25

Ooh, I had forgotten Michael Moon. Janine did for him didn't she. This is why we need soaps, keeps the brain cells active trying to remember what happened.

kittylester Fri 19-May-17 15:25:32

With Kat? Blimey, my memory!!

Jane10 Fri 19-May-17 15:24:04

Michael. Alfie's cousin. Can't remember what happened to him. I think he was killed off though.

kittylester Fri 19-May-17 15:12:44

Snap nina! confused

ninathenana Fri 19-May-17 14:50:25

Kat and Alfie have twins together. They are at home in Spain with someone.
Remind me, who is Tommy's ( the boy that's with them) father is he Alfie's too ? I should know, I watch 'Enders all the time.

Auntieflo Fri 19-May-17 11:54:07

Thanks Alima, I haven't watched Eastenders for ages. Think the last I remember was when some girl was up on a roof, can't even say who that was now. The story lines got a bit daft, so I gave up.

kittylester Fri 19-May-17 10:32:40

Wow! Missed that Tanith. Thank you.

tanith Fri 19-May-17 09:09:45

The baby Kat is looking for is Zoes twin brother, she was never told there was a second baby althouborn at the same time.

PRINTMISS Fri 19-May-17 09:06:27

Give it time, let's see how it develops, lots of episodes to get through if we can stand it.

Alima Fri 19-May-17 08:58:51

Not sure about this yet, love Kat and Alfie but this seems like Bally K on speed. Can anyone remember their twins' names, think it was Bert and ? Auntieflo, do you remember when Kat saw the nun, June Whitfield? She told Kat that she had had twins as a result of the rape by the uncle. (The bloke who played Boon). Was the child she knew about the one she told "I'm your muvver!"? Getting really confused now!

Sorry to hear about your beloved dog, magsmay flowers

kittylester Fri 19-May-17 08:53:36

As far as I remember kat and Alfie had twins and they are looking for a baby Kat gave away. I don't know whether that was before or after Zoe.

I found the family dynamics very difficult last night. Who was the taxi driver/sculptor related to? And the girl on the motorbike?

Auntieflo Fri 19-May-17 08:46:12

Did they / someone say that the twins had been left behind? Are they Kat and Alfie's twins, and whose twin is she looking for?

ninathenana Fri 19-May-17 08:10:46

kitty thanks for reminding me what is wrong with Alfie. I couldn't think what his hallucinations were all about.
I enjoyed it, I thought they would have kept the suspense of who Kat was looking for going a bit longer though. I'm confused by the closing scene (no spoilers). Yes I think it was stereotypical but hey.

magsmay sorry to hear your sad news.
