eastenders - bizarre and shit

I'm always fascinated by the amount of people that use the laundrette. I wonder what percentage of residents on Eastenders own a washing machine?
 
And they all seem to get service washes, unless they want to have a long deep meaningful one-to-one with Dot

Yeah, as if they're too busy or too far away to keep an eye on their own washing. Wonder how far the pub is from the laundrette? WHen I used to use one, I'd sit and have a pint whilst waiting :D

The second girl has never been seen before (I think), but the main one is the daughter of a woman Max was dating and the girlfriend of another main character. She's in it a lot.

just catching up with last week's now and the comic scenes in the pub with those two lasses is well corrie.
who are they? are they related to anyone in the square?

I actually think that was written by a long time EastEnders writer, not the corrie guy who seems to have done a few episodes a little while back.
I still think those two girls were more or less improvisation drafted in to fill a whole load of cut scenes.
 
Dunno if it's babygate filler, but I quite like these long dialogue scenes; it really fucks me off when EE dart from scene to scene every two seconds.

ETA this is of no interest to any of you, I'm sure, but Whit looks so much like my old flatmate it's untrue. Freaks me out four times a week.
 
I thought today's was quite good.
And Tiffany is so cute, also Max, coming in and rescuing her was sweet.
 
She was a bit stupid with Tiffany.
And she lied quite a bit.
And has terrible self awareness.
But Connor's the tosser, not her, in general.

Why is Connor the tosser.? I think he has genuine feelings for Carol but her embarrassment drove him away. Yeah he shagged Whitney but she did throw herself on him and wouldn't take no for an answer. He comes out looking like the villain but he hasn't really done anything wrong.
 
Oh, she threw herself at him so he had no choice...
I forgot, men aren't capable of saying no.

:/
 
Don't you remember when Carol said to Connor 'don't touch Whit, she's damaged goods, she's been abused' and Connor got a glint in his eye and went round and shagged her? They're both tossers but I felt a bit sorry for Carol too.

I think we're back to 'proper writing' if you can call it that! Everytime EE have a 'big story line' it almost always vanishes after two weeks for a while, I think to give the cast and crew a rest, mainly, and they pick up another storyline.

And that "warning" was from a neutral relative whos only concern was the welfare of her "niece" and nothing to do with Carol wanting to keep him for herself. ?Being "damaged" didn't seem to stop Carol from shagging him on the day of her son's funeral
I think this storyline is quite well written to tbh. It's more about weakness and need rather than people being good or bad. Human ambiguity, weakness and contradictions are more believable than the usual black and white, good/bad simplistic story lines.

And no baby swap crap yay.

No, there was definitely a nuance of 'I fancy the Kevin Cline market pants off you and want you all to myself'. I agree, good, subtleish storyline.
 
It's all quite disturbing tbh - did anyone notice the other day when she was talking about Conor, she said Billie by mistake. I mean, Conor is obv a Billie type replacement for her, but the fact that Billie was her son, is erm...kind of wrong. In the extreme!
