URGH. I absolutely bloody loathe whenever soaps do the whole "that **** slept with MY man, I must take revenge on HER" thing, it's so utterly misogynistic. Why on earth should Glenda get the worse treatment when it's not as if she was ever friends with Shirley or Jane, they barely knew each other, yet somehow her actions are worse and deserve more 'punishment' than THE MEN who supposedly loved Jane and Shirley and cheated on them! How is that not the worse offense!?
Of course, they can kick Glenda and then take 'their man' back in the end. It makes me feel quite sick, really, how women are their own worst enemies in soaps.
And yes, Jane is a nice person, but let's face it, her 'class' is basically that she's pure and true and even though Ian is unrelentingly horrible and careless with her, has cheated on her multiple times, she'll always forgive him and she'd never truly cheat on him with Masood. Because she's good. And Glenda's a '****'.

Yeah. Right.
Great post. How depressing that the single woman is classed as the **** while you just know the married/committed men are going to be forgiven.
The fact that it's International Women's Day was clearly lost on the Eastenders producers and writers!

Not seen this ep yet, just glanced through this thread to see if it was worth the bother, sounds great! Going to give it a go now.. I wish EE would be consistent, as when it's good it's really good and I love it.
Wish Glenda had left the chippie covered in chip fat or something. Shirley let her off too lightly!
Then Shirley should have been covered in chip fat when she boinked Kevin behind denise's back, and jane when she slept with grant behind ian's. Hypocrites.
I was kinda disgusted with Shirley tonight. I hope glenda returns.

Must admit, I didn't watch Eastenders when those things happened, so I was unaware of them until now.
I wasn't aware I'd suggested that? It's not about choosing, it's possible that I wanted to see both Phil and Glenda suffer.
I cheered when Shirley slapped Phil. Hope she kicks him out her life for good.

sorry for jumping to conclusions- I just get sick and tired of the female getting all the blame, and seen as the predatory '''man stealer" while they get off scot free

No probs
It's not that I really sympathise with Shirley. She picked a bad egg and she knows it. And if she takes Phil back then she deserves everything she gets.
But I dislike women such as Glenda too, who deliberately seek out attached men. So much for sisterly solidarity.

Yeah. Right.
I love Linda Henry and I'm glad that she's becoming more of an integral character.
Why do I get the feeling that Shirley will forgive Phil?
Post of the day-I totally agree. well said
*tips hat* I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by this!
I have to say that I enjoyed the episode though
Felt sorry for Glenda.
Also shirley stole from Roxy so it's a bit rich of her to take the moral high ground

noone told heather that
More kudos for this post, absolutely agree.
Great post! Completely agree.
I find it really sad that you don't know the difference!If you're a woman you should be ashamed.
xx
But she didn't kill him
Poor Glenda To Australia:)
I agree with your first statement You could hardly call Philth a loser. He always wins;)
Not even that:o
She promised to kill him and she was all hot air:rolleyes:
my arris
She has no where else to go and Philth always wins. She will tell him that she will kill him if he cheats again:yawn:
Anyway it was an above average episode:)

And Philthy should have been covered in grease from the arches- why should glenda take all the blame
