Laid To Rest
‘EASTENDERS continues to lose the plot in fact any plot as it hurtles headlong into storyline meltdown.
‘Engaged! I must have left it plugged into the Internet’ |
Weve got the Sharon and Dennis incest story, which has just disappeared down the storyline plughole, the Ferreiras havent mentioned in months the fact that their father has (thankfully) disappeared and now were expected to believe that Sonia and Martin are getting married.
Thats right, to Martin the boy who got Sonia pregnant and then abandoned her; and who also killed her fiancé Jamie.
Im gonna make you happy, he told her in front of a packed Queen Vic well, hed struggle to ruin her life any more than he already has done.
Dot and Pauline are clucking around like a pair of hens, making plans for a proper East End wedding so thatll be the bride eight months pregnant and police called to the reception then.
More ludicrous storylines include Kate and Dens wife Chrissie opening up a new hairdressing salon in a day – Sophisti-kates.
Den tried to help drum up trade for his wife by suggesting to Pat that she get her hair cut there. Understandably, Chrissie wasnt too happy with him if potential customers were to walk past and see Pat in the window, theyd assume it was a poodle parlour.
Let me run my business and you get on with yours, Chrissie told him his business being Internet porn, obviously.
Theres some light on the horizon though for EastEnders fans, as the Ferreira family have failed to raise the money needed to save their house after Ash gambled it all away on a horse.
Were going to be homeless Karina wailed and jobless too, love, if were lucky.
There were more celebrations on the Square this week as justice finally caught up with Janine.
Janine was caught trying to flee the Square with a suitcase full of Barrys money. Once she was safely out of the way, Pat and Natalie broke into their old house to track down Barrys ashes so they could give him a decent send off.
This being EastEnders, though, the decent send-off consisted of sitting on Arfers bench in the Square and scattering his ashes over a small sapling. Its rather appropriate though Barry was both sappy and plank-like when he was alive.’
