Yes, I know there have been discussions on this before, and although I have no idea why, we are avid watchers. NOW, did I miss something? I know Kathy Beale turned up rather secretly, a little while ago, we were led to believe that she had been killed in a car crash which is why Ben who is Ian's brother and Phil,s son is living in Albert Square. Here she is again, large as life, but again secretly walking in Albert Square! Does anyone know who this Gavin is that Phil mentioned? What has Kathy been hiding, and why is she running away? (cue for the music!)

What have they done to Paul Nicholas!!!! sad

Pittcity Fri 21-Aug-15 21:50:27

He's been at the Ronseal kitty !

kittylester Sat 22-Aug-15 06:18:32

It was the hair Pitt! sad

PRINTMISS Sat 22-Aug-15 07:59:17

Oh!, of course, that is who it was, really did not recognise him, still have no idea what is going on with this.

Ana Sat 22-Aug-15 19:32:03

Well, he's 70 this year so he's lucky to have that much hair left, really...grin

kittylester Sat 22-Aug-15 20:08:09

DH is 70 and his hair isn't much different from when I met him, apart from the colour, but shock

Ana Sat 22-Aug-15 20:17:23

He must have good genes, kitty! But I agree that Paul Nicholas looks so different without his wild curls.

I have just read that Kathy is going to phone the Vic and that Silent Tracy is going to get a storyline!

Did you all cry with Shabnam? I did.

Jane10 Sun 30-Aug-15 11:47:46

She's an odd girl. What's happened to her is a nightmare for any mother though.
I do like Masood and Tamwar is a really unusual character. I'd like to see Nancy with her hair down. She's such a pretty girl but is always in a tomboy outfit. Wonder if they'll have a "transformation" storyline one day.
Also, wonder what'll happen re Stacey's baby...................
So many threads to follow!

After her shenanigans with Kush, it doesn`t seem to have occurred to Stacey to wonder if the baby is Martin`s, or Kush`s.
Tamwar may be an unusual character, but I like him, he`s a truly good lad.

kittylester Mon 31-Aug-15 06:49:06

I love Tamwar too and Fatboy! I cried with Shabnam as I had a similar experience.sad

PRINTMISS Mon 31-Aug-15 15:40:52

Oh dear, Kitty that must have been really hard for you to watch, I thought the tragedy was handled quite well, although I have no personal experience. I too have been doubting the father of Stacey's child, wonder if it will prove to belong to Kush. I like Tamwar and Masood, and it would be really nice to have a little happiness in this programme, wouldn't it.

Tamwar reminds me and DD of DS.
He's a bit socially inept but has a good heart.

Jane10 Mon 31-Aug-15 18:53:20

He has some good one liners. A dry sense of humour (which Easties certainly needs!)

Jane10 Mon 31-Aug-15 20:18:55

Just too sad tonight. I don't know if such tragedy is suitable for presentation as entertainment which is what soaps are. Its uncomfortably voyeuristic. I didn't think I should be watching that poor family

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 31-Aug-15 20:31:21

They really want to cheer us up don't they? hmm

Miserable sods at the Beeb.

granjura Mon 31-Aug-15 20:43:12

jane10, I was in tears too- and also felt I shouldn't be watching, somehow.

Pittcity Mon 31-Aug-15 21:04:29

We tried to bring some levity to the situation by pointing out the emptiness of the hospital and the silent miming nurses.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 31-Aug-15 21:09:50

Yes. I thought that. Were there no other mums in labour? confused

numberplease Mon 31-Aug-15 21:40:14

I thought that tonight`s episode was very well presented, although extremely sad. I wonder if the relationship will last now, I do hope so, that family deserve a bit of happiness. (I know, it`s only a story!)

Jane10 Mon 31-Aug-15 21:41:02

Good point pitt! Also where was Sonia? She works in every ward of Walford General.

granjura Mon 31-Aug-15 22:31:47

have to say I found this episode so moving- I never noticed those 'detail' - I'm surprised anyone did, really.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 31-Aug-15 22:54:09

Crikey! hmm

Marelli Mon 31-Aug-15 22:54:09

Really moving and I think very well acted.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 31-Aug-15 22:54:49

whisper ...it's not real...
