Ruby is leaving anyway - can't we vote to kill off Peggy instead? After God knows how many years of banging on about the importance of family and the Mitchells sticking together, she's now decided Honey and Billy should just leave their baby on the hospital steps. Although in a few week's time she'll probably be all over Petal - just like when she went started being really supportive of Mark after a brief spell of boycotting his stall in case HIV could be transmitted through unwashed spuds.

I've not seen EE for two months. Is it better yet?

Petal??? I thought the baby was called Janet??? Bloomin Eastenders. They've already confused me with that Squiggle/Libby business. That's what I get for only watching every now and then, I suppose.

Has any soap ever done infanticide?

"If you have been affected by any issue in this programme, please firebomb BBC TV Centre for its cack-handed approach to tackling it."
They could always blow a bus up in Albert Square and start over with the cast of Albion Market. That might work

Well, get this, seemingly the producer of Coronation Street has attacked EastEnders for the Honey's Baby storyline and laid into the actress that plays Honey. I think she was branded 'cold' with 'no emotion'.
I can't stand seeing Billy Mitchell and his old face. It makes me upset.

Is Squiggle dead? I missed Friday's ep and I would be inclined to start watching EE again if she is.

Nobody is dead yet. I still think Honey might suffocate Janet/Petal though, infanticide fans.

On Thursday Squiggle was drowned. On Friday she was in hospital. In the middle they rescued her somehow and Kevin did CPR. Not that we saw any of this since this was only described in a conversation between Kevin and her mum. Presumably there's been some budget cuts somewhere but last night's episode ended up like The Simpsons episode where Mr Burns catches the Loch Ness monster single-handed.
"Well I thought I was done for when Squiggle's dad pulled a gun out and shot me. What a good thing he missed and hit a tree which fell on him. I thought she'd drowned, good thing I bought my trusty defibrilator. And then we flew home on my personal jetpack."

Who thinks that when the amazing Sharon returns, Sean Slater will cast aside his dark ego and fall in love with her? I just know this is going to happen.

But surely she's old enough to be his mum??? Not that that's ever stopped EE before, I know.

I thought Sharon and Dennis were great together! They were Shannis. What the hell would her and Sean be? Sharon. It's perfect really. Or Shaean (pronounced Shane) or Searan. Hmm. Their names don't mix that well I suppose.
If Sharon does hook up with Sean Slater, he's as good as dead.

Another shit thing about EastEnders is the rumoured departure of Pauline and how it transpires: Seemingly she gets a brain tumour and burns to death in her house. If that is the case then I want some of the drugs the writers are snorting - why do they always make the plots so needlessly complicated? And didn't one of Queen Sharon's ex boyfriends die in the exact same way? Burnt to a crisp but he was dying anyway?
What shit!

but if that does happen (err Merry Christmas) then look on the bright side: that horrible house will finally have to get a makeover. Let's just hope it's not like when Pat and Irene (or was it Rosa??) did Changing Rooms

They'd better wheel out some old characters for any funeral which may or may not happen for whatever reason. I'd expect Sharon to come back at least.

I thought Sharon and Dennis were great together! Their relationship was one of the many, many occasions where Eastenders suspended all grasp of reality. Dennis, a straight man of minimal intelligence, was seriously supposed to prefer Sharon to Zoe. No, he doesn't like his hot, nubile, adoring and mildly annoying girlfriend, he prefers his ropey,old and equally annoying sister. For further examples of Eastenders warped idea of straight relationships please see Andy prefering Kat to Sam and Honey prefering Billy to pretty much anyone else in the East London area.

Not to mention Ian Beale and Phil Mitchell managing to attract women like Cindy, Mel, Jane, Lisa (she was non-annoying when she first hooked up with Phil), Kathy...

At least Cindy cheated on Ian with the legend that was Wicksy thus lending some realism to that relationship (although that we were meant to believe that Nick Berry and Michael French could have sprung from the loins of Pat Butcher was pushing it too far).
Mel going with Ian and then Phil made no sense at all. When she arrived she was the ex-girlfriend of Steve who was later revealed to be Martin Kemp. Martin Kemp! Why if you'd ever had Martin Kemp would you stoop to Ian or Phil?

Why if you'd ever had Martin Kemp would you stoop to Ian or Phil? I thought she came into it as Alex the Vicar's sister and then ended up with Steve Owen after her wedding fiasco with Ian? Or am I wrong? I didn't know she had 'had' Steve beforehand as well.

I feel the rot started in EastEnders when Dirty Den came back from the dead only to be killed again. They should have kept him in it and rode the storm, so to say. It's so dire now I can't even watch it. Honey and Billy? Who cares? I mean really, how am I meant to feel for them when I don't even like them.
I watch American soaps. The people are better looking and they foil jewel heists and things. And that's only the Hospital staff at General Hospital.
