eastenders - bizarre and shit

[zoooo]

I don't have a baby, so don't know nuffink. But would it be normal to leave a brand new baby on its own for ages? I know they left Charlie with it, and the whole point of the plot is that he buggered off and got drunk. But wouldn't the dad just want to sit with it and stare and poke it and that, not go off and party downstairs. Alfie wasn't even interested in it.

 

[strung out]

it's the most ridiculous plotline in the whole world. seriously, fuck this shit.

if you're able to then yes - but he had to run the pub and was worried about getting kat all under the assumption Charlie was there keeping that eye. Yes I'd be surprised if people didn't want to be there but not everyone has the choice, esp a landlord on NYE.

it's the most ridiculous plotline in the whole world. seriously, fuck this shit.

The story would be great if it was just the SID aspect and not this hideously stupid baby swap thing on top.

Apparently there have been over 3,000 complaints.

ronnie's baby dies at a day old and she loses the plot and swaps it for kat and alfies baby who is alive and well
stupid isn't it

 

[Jackobi]

Alfie wasn't even interested in it.

It isn't his baby.

 

[Orang Utan]

wtf? she swapped a dead baby for a live one?

 

[aqua]

It isn't his baby.

no it is his brothers isn't it

wtf? she swapped a dead baby for a live one?

yep, she went walking with the dead baby in a haze and heard kats baby crying from the square so went upstairs and swapped it, left the dead one in kats crib and took the live one

 

[Orang Utan]

fucksake!

 

[aqua]

it's so annoying as the SIDs storyline could have been a good one on it's own, only now it gets lost amongst this shit

 

[Spymaster]

"If you've been affected by topics in the story, help is available ....."

.... says the announcer at the end!

So if anyone's ever swapped their dead baby for your live one ......

.... give 'em a bell.

 

[zoooo]

It isn't his baby.

True, good point.
But he did seem pretty excited and proud and all that good stuff.

No I don't think anyone would have left a newborn that long unless they were asleep themselves (that might have made more sense). They could easily have had the baby in a pram in the pub with them, newborns sleep through anything practically.

Totally...who would leave a newborn baby on their own...and this includes Ronnie sleeping in a separate room in her flat. However Alfie was at the hospital with Kat who he found soaked in blood in bed...the ambulance was taking too long so he carried her in his big manly arms himself out of the pub. Whilst at the hospital he was asked to go get baby Tommy in order for mother/baby to bond...on his way back to do this Billy cornered him about the CD player not working. As far as Alfie knew Charlie was with him...and dear god AS IF you bloody would go downstairs for a beer!!!!!!

Now it seems at the moment that Max & Dot & possibly Roxy may be the only people able to say on sight that Ronnies baby looks different....I'm going to assume the mid-wife isn't going to work to professional standards and investigate where the bloody club-foot went.

 

[strung out]

or that they might find an erroneous club foot on the dead baby when they do the post mortem

 

[madzone]

It's all too stupid and gratuitous.

 

[DotCommunist]

Amused to find my brother commenting on the interacial aspect of Carol's toyboy affair and not the fact that she is old enough to be his mum.

 

[strung out]

and her dead son's best mate. lol.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

its been done before though

Yeah Debbie wasn't it, and her wimpy husband. Can't remember his name though. Russ?

 

[Orang Utan]

sue and ali
can't remember a debbie

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

sue and ali
can't remember a debbie

Ah that's right.

Debbie was the one with long blonde hair. Her husband may have been a doctor. I think they were in it around the same time.

 

[BlackArab]

sue and ali

Wasn't she blonde and him dark, Scottish? He might have been killed if I recall. Think they were part of the original cast unless I'm getting my soaps mixed up.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Here's Debbie and Andy (his real name was Ross, so I was near. He's dead now). They were the first yuppie couple in Eastenders

 

[Orang Utan]

they didn't have a kid - he died trying to save one after she told him to drop dead.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yeah, I remember that now. Just temporarily thought it was them that had the cot death.

He was apparently the first Eastender killed off. Supposedly the producer wasn't happy about his affair with his on-screen wife

 

[zoooo]

I remember him! I quite liked him as I recall.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I remember him! I quite liked him as I recall.

I thought he was a bit of a drip

 

[zoooo]

I shall use my being about 6 as an excuse!

(I think so anyway. When was he in the show?)
