Can see my having to skip the up and coming scenes about this Lola/Lexi/Ben/Jay adoption storyline, so predictable and I'm bored of the back and forth before it even begins.

I need a 5 minute Q&A from the writers where they talk about Whitney and Zack because there are just massive chucks of that 'relationship" that seem to be missing and it bugs me everything they are on screen. I think they've shared a bed about twice and off borrowing money from Ravi to get a place together, which had never so much as been mentioned.

The pub scenes about HIV were ridiculous, it was like they thought oh we need to cover all the stereotypical thoughts around HIV and then also provide the fact about it. So people just started spewing information from leaflets, it can't be passed via toilet seats, I didn't know he was gay etc. I get what they wanted to cover but it was just done so badly.
 
It’s like they watched a few classic Eastenders episodes of people finding out about Mark having HIV and thought “yep, that’ll do it”

It’s every big reveal in the Vic ever.

*Music inexplicably stops* “Yeah that’s right I’m X. I ain’t going to be judged for it no more. You all fink you’re perfect, sitting there judging me. I ain’t ashamed!” *close up of sympathetic faces*
 
I'm willing to endure yet another ben trauma if it's his final one and he's either killed off or decides he's had enough and gets into a cab for a final farewell lap of the square with a wee sad face on. Bonus points if he takes callum, bernie, Whitney, Amy and bobbie with him.
So far Ben has went through meningitis (how he went partially deaf in the first place) , his mum "dying" in a car crash , being brought up by angry Phil, been abused by his step mum, slapped down his mate, killed his other mate, been to prison, had to endure a relationship with abi , gave her chlamydia, had her lie about being pregnant with his kid, his mum came back from the dead, had a kid with his cousin, come out as gay , had a cochlear implant, love of his life gets murdered, been raped, nearly died from drugs and now an eating disorder. And I'm probably missing some, that's off the top of my head. Surely they have no storylines left for him 😂

I thought the same about the recently aired classic episodes. It was when Ben mentioned Phil stealing kids

Starting hurting his little sister, almost killed his friend, got petrified by Mr Johnson (classic scene) 😂
