Poor Yolande

An hour long special though for 2 characters we barely know? Filled with flashbacks from characters we don't know at all?? All because we need eastenders to teach us about the important issue of sexual assault I hate it when they do stuff like this.

Even more cringe and cliche that they pick a pastor.

I’m sorry but I’m finding Johnny increasingly sexy, during the police interview scene I was like I barely remember but I swear he was a little wet wipe when the other two actors played him.

Cannot STAND Dean or Jade, the sooner they duck off to New York/Pakistan the better! He makes me want to stop watching. Hope Jade drowns in her bath of beans.

The six continually meeting up in the most obvious places is just ridiculous, not to mention if they’ve been texting each other that’s a huge evidence trail. It’ll be a true testament to the Walford police’s incompetence if they don’t get sent down.

Poor George, deserves so much better than Gloria and Eddie.

You know it!
I reckon I posted it every week for a good while and then stopped! I'll forever love this Ben simply for the dancing and slapping down scene.

No no no no no no NO! I want him to get back with Kat

I really thought Denise said to Jack ‘Thanks for getting back my knickers.’ I was trying to remember where she left them

Is that not what she said?

I don’t trust current EE to write this kind of story properly, the fallout from The Six stuff hasn’t been great writing for the female characters IMO.

Don’t want to see this, will just skip it.

 

[Sibz]

Jade ffs I'm already sick of hearing about this frigging bean bath

 

[AL10]

Really not interested in this pastor story and nothing against Yolande coz I really like her, I just stomach watching it! Dean is bad enough

The very special episode about Ruby was pretty cringe. I don’t think I can be bothered with a whole hour of issues. I’d rather watch Shitney and Nitney in Milton Keynes at this point.

Exactly, how many rape / sexual assault storylines do we need? The writers can’t write or finish the ones in existence. I just don’t think we need another one in the mix.

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

I know some bad stories about pastors I know and this storyline is making me think about that

Agreed. Seems like overkill when Dean is still roaming about untouched by karma and is now playing the toxic parent character. I get it's not how life works but it feels like there still needs to be a conclusion to that.

Being a rapist was so central to Dean's storyline for a while, but it's being diluted by him being an all round villain.

Yep, it’s not that I expect every r*pist to die horribly (although it would be nice to see one or two go that way in the modern era), it’s the inability to deliver any meaningful payoff or to apply subtlety if they’re claiming “realism” that gets me. If they want to claim it’s true to life with Dean getting away with it, then fine up to a point, but there’s something off with the writing now in how he appears.

It was actually quite shocking originally to have a character we had seen as a slightly dopey teenager with problems under the surface, turn out that way and do something so terrible, I thought that was a very striking choice to begin with, but Dean is being overused now like when Grey became a serial killer instead of the actually somehow much more impactful domestic abuser character he was…

Also I just don’t want this for Yolande. Yes, the actress will smash this out of the park, yes this is a soap, but don’t want to see it.

[Lunagooner]

Is he going to use the meat thermometer to check the temperature of the bath of beans before Jade gets in it? he doesn't want her getting a cold
