I enjoyed the Kathy and Cindy scenes and Elaine looking on from the Vic bedroom. I also thought the scene with Ian and Kathy was good with Ian telling his Mum having Cindy around makes him feel closer to Lucy. Not sure what Ruhma from Doctors is up to with Harvey? Kat smells a rat. Loved Suki again tonight, a clever Duff Duff. Good episode tonight apart from Peter and Lauren.

She has said that her husband is/was a taxi driver. Wasn't Aaron implicated in the involvement of an assault on a taxi driver and Harvey covered for him. This was all before he realised that Aaron was a complete and utter racist.

Well remembered walls! And now you've mentioned it I'm pretty sure that's the direction this storyline will go now, should be good.
I like that they've addressed that both Harvey's closest friends have gone and that it's not as easy as Jean seems to think to make new ones.

I bet Elaine enjoyed watching Kathy having a right go at Cindy! I enjoyed it myself
Quite sad that Ian feels closer to Lucy being with Cindy. What could Kathy say to that?

Nish is really dividing the Panesar's. I'm not sure Suki using Vinnie as a Trojan horse is going to work though.

Ian is a tight fisted git, as much as I don't care about Cindy I can understand her not wanting to be stuck with Ian. I did smile at the reduced label on the flowers. Elaine is too good for George, I hope she kicks him into touch. Nish is onto Vinny. Ravi imo is also playing Nish.

For a Simon Ashdown episode that was pretty dire tonight. I was expecting something more than what was served up.

Why is Junior constantly walking around the Square clocking George and Cindy time and time again? 

I agree with Holey and think that Ravi is definitely putting it on with Nish too. 

Ian is just pathetic and should be realising that Cindy just isn't interested in him anymore, not that she ever was. 

[Lotty27]

I might have missed something but I thought that Ravi said he was only reuniting with Nish because he wanted to be seen doing the right thing by his kids?  I never thought that his heart was in it?
I agree though I think that Nish's grandkids are the only ones who really give a stuff about him.

Instead of throwing herself at him why doesn't Cindy just ask George if he wants to get back together? Not like her to be so backwards in coming forwards.
Ian should definitely get rid though, she's treating him like shit. He needs to get himself some of Elaine's pride.

Junior is getting on my nerves spying all the time. Amazing how he just happens to be in the right place so often 

[wallis]

Well it had to happen didn't it? Junior has bedded shagged two women from the Square already and he has only been around for a few weeks. Where is Monique and why isn't she questioning where he is of an evening when he is either eavesdropping in the Vic or trawling the streets.
Cindy is as disgusting as she used to be and for once I feel sorry for Ian. I'm glad that George rejected her, the trollop.

So Maya's husband has died. I bet that has been a result of the attack on him and she is out for revenge. She can't get to Aaron who is in HMP so she is going after Harvey instead.  

 

[Lotty27]

Does Junior like older women? That's Bianca and Cindy now in a couple of weeks! Perhaps it's because he knows they won't get pregnant lol!
She was putty in his hands, didn't take much effort from him.
Not often I say this but poor Ian. And poor Monique who seems lovely, unlike Ian.  Cindy seems to be his 'the one' but he'll always be hurt because he's not hers.

Up until then though I was feeling slightly sorry for Cindy as she didn't leave George willingly, obviously still loves him and his rejection really hurt her but then she did THAT - with George's son FGS.  She'll never change, she's never grown up.

Maya's definitely bad news for Harvey.

And Eve throwing out ultimatums to Suki!   Bad idea.  Suki's a strong woman I doubt will put up with that crap.
Did Priya over-hear them?  And if so, will she report back to Ravi or Nish himself?

Tuesday:-

Loved Priya walking in on Sukie and Eve,  I really like Priya a good character. I really don't feel sorry for Ian. Glad George has come to his senses. Junior is a T**T and Cindy is a trollop.  A mediocre episode but better than Monday. 

[wallis]

I've never like Bianca but God how I absolutely hate her now. Well done Reiss for giving her some home truths however I have a feeling this will backfire on him given the spoilers I've read.

I like the Knights but we are getting overload at the moment and the show needs to concentrate on some other characters and storylines. 

[CAEF]

Look how old and knackered Phil looked last night in the garage scene.

[Lotty27]

Why's Bianca still there? Has she given up her place in MK (or been evicted) so if Whitney doesn't forgive her she literally has nowhere else to go?

She's a nasty bitch though, no way is she 'just joking' with all the things she says about/to Reiss and Sonia should be slapping her down for it.
And who's she to judge Reiss anyway? Just what exactly has she done with her life that allows her to look down on anyone else?
I was really pleased that he finally stood up to her and almost clapped when he shot the barb about none of her kids wanting to be around her.
Even Junior doesn't want to go there again.

How much did George overhear of Cindy and Junior's conversation? All of it I hope so he can see just what skanks they both are.
Can't wait for 'her girls' to hear that shes shagged their brother!

Wednesday:-

I agree over load with the Knights they are becoming a tad tedious, but I am enjoying Elaine more now. Junior is a toad with a lot of issues. I liked Reiss having ago at Bianca. I thought Phil was going to have a heart attack in the garage. The episode seemed long and a bit of a chore to be honest. Eastenders has gone off the boil. The best bit was with Jean nearly gagging on that beer.

[wallis]

I wonder what Maya's intentions are for Harvey.

Poor Sonia, it doesn't look like we are going to have a 40th anniversary new baby then.

George is going to back Junior with money then. Say goodbye to that! Junior is a scumbag and not to be trusted on any level. 

I loved Nish telling Priya where to go. I'm still not for sure that his diagnosis is for real.

Junior is so up for having Cindy again now that Monique has gone. That smirk on her face at the end just told us she is too.  



 

[Lotty27]

Interesting look Maya gave Harvey at the end of their scene. I'm sure I saw some malice there?

Knowing nothing about IVF I had no idea that what happened to Sonia could happen. Got to give Natalie Cassidy her due, she can bring out the performances when given the material, I felt really sorry for her last night.

Junior is just ... yuck. His abandonment issues are ruining his life, looks like he spoils things because he thinks he's going to lose them anyway? He had a lovely, kind and attractive wife yet was tomming around the old slappers of Walford? Wife gone 5 minutes and he was coming onto Cindy again who of course loves the attention.

Scene of the day for me though was a the return of Nasty Nish who cruelly took down Priya disabusing her of any notion of inheritance.
But it makes me think that he's well aware of what the rest of them are up to too.
Although it would be really far-fetched I think I'd love it if he is lying about this illness and fooled them all lol!

Thursday:-

The Bianca and Monique scenes were very good, Maya's out for justice/revenge on Harvey. The other good bit was Natalie Cassidy with Patsy Palmer, the rest was mediocre, bringing to an end a lack lustre, uninspiring week in the square.
