Eastenders

I was thinking the same- they shouldn't be allowed to.

How would anyone know?

the family and neighbours will guess, I am sure.

I suppose she would be, as Foster parents are considered at many ages .

How would anyone know?

Sorry, what i meant was, how would anyone know that Suki had 'adopted' the baby.

And, it's Stenders!!!

Can't see Avani having this baby when her parents find out !!🤔

And what a complication the fact that Joel is the father???

Isn't stenders getting good!!!

Anyone else got a real soft spot for Oscar?

Yes!

I'm almost feeling most sorry for Eve at the moment, she's on an emotional roller coaster caught up in this. I don't think the baby will happen one way or another.

Didn't like Oscar at first, but his heart seems to be in the right place - sort of.

Oscar is growing on me, wonder when Max will turn up ?

DD2 and her friends are quite excited about that!!

Yes. Oscar is very likeable but also a nightmare brother for Lauren who's got enough to cope with as it is.
The new barmaid at the Albert is inspired. She always looked like a drag queen as it is.

Was'nt sure at first but he is growing on me, lovely when Max turns u.

Social Services are very keen on babies & children remaining within a family unit. Suki would have zero problem in fostering/adopting the baby. Obviously it will not be an issue as termination looms, which is the appropriate choice for such a young girl.

Don't think it's going through formal adoption procedure. Have to stretch the imagination!

I'm looking forward to Ravi's reaction!! I don't give much for Joel's chances

Me too - but I hope poor Barney doesn't get the blame

Oh yes. Poor Barney. Mind you that Joel is a very worrying boy. Poor Smiffy,( I can only think of him as Smiffy from the Bill) no wonder he struggles with him.

No, he's Fletch from Casualty.

I knew I’d seen him somewhere

Stopped watching years ago - too depressing.

BTW is there anywhere in London that has so few ethnic groups?

There have been many ethnic groups in EE over time, it's obviously impossible to show them in one go all together. Take a look back over the years.

I was an East London girl for many years. We don't actually notice different ethnicities as we go about our daily lives, certainly not in our neighbours who are just friends, or in the pub where people socialise.

EE would find it difficult to show first generation families from non english speaking countries because many do not speak English at home, so their dialogue would not be easily comprehended.

I don't necessarily want a Chinese family in EE just to say, " Look, a Chinese family in EE!" I want my storylines to be interesting and convincing regardless of where the characters are from.

EE is not there as a tv series to show London in all its glory. It's there for entertainment.

If you stopped watching FranP how do know about the ethnic diversity of the cast?
