A Family Affair
‘LIFE continues to get worse and worse for the Slaters its no wonder theyre all a bunch of staggering, fat alcoholics.
‘I feel like a pig in a poke’ |
Charlie has now been told that hes being sued by rapist Graham for loss of earnings after he beat him up and hes also had his cab license suspended while his court case is heard. But of course this is the East End where families pull together in crisis and no-one has a washing machine so the Slaters are going all out to raise some cash.
Mos selling knocked-off fags in pubs and Lynnes got a job in the Mini Mart. Lynnes not the best at keeping jobs though (just ask the EastEnders producers) and managed to last less than a day.
She quit on the grounds that lifting heavy boxes in her condition was dangerous thatll be the condition of being pissed out of her head all the time, I take it?
Sharons also having money worries. Her insurance company is refusing to pay out on the club on the grounds that the fire was started deliberately (and, with more staff than punters, its hardly a good business proposition).
With Den in Spain, the role of comforting Sharon has fallen to his mini-me, Dennis. Its a role Dennis is more than happy to fill: indeed given half a chance, hed be doing a lot more filling.
Hopefully the producers wont go down that distasteful path again and besides, weve already got one dodgy incest storyline on the go.
Kareena is out to win back Tariq, unaware of the fact that hes actually her half-brother. She underwent that classic soap transformation (as seen to such good effect on Neighbours Plain Jane Superbrain several years ago) of massively backcombed hair, cheap tight dress and enough make-up to put Ronald McDonald to shame.
I want you, Tariq, she breathed over him as he edged towards the door. We were meant to be together.
Tariqs parental secret is set to come out soon, however, as that tired old storyline of someone needs an organ transplant and only a secret relative is a match is wheeled out again.
Ronnie was stabbed in a street fight and needs a new kidney. And whats the betting that Tariq proves the perfect match?
Elsewhere in the Square, Rickys about to discover the truth about his little sister: how not only is she a former prostitute and drug addict, shes also a murderer. If she carries on at this rate, shell be running for Parliament in a few years.’
