Wow, it's dull. And the blatant exposition is just so clunky and lazy.
Terrible stuff.

Mick/Dean stuff any day
I am so bored of Shirley. I hope she goes on another of her long holidays soon.
I didn't notice either.
Shirley and Tina definitely don't have the same chemistry as Ronnie and Roxy and I thought that was quite obvious in tonight's episode.
Yes, it is very tiring. But, I'd much rather watch Shirley & Tina, over the rest of the Carters any day of the week!
There were three other stories going on in the episode...
It's excellent stuff but it will provoke a reaction in those who long since decided Shirley is the devil incarnate. Shirley is bad because she bad and nothing will change mindsets.
They never even set eyes on each other for 10 years or more but now she misses her
Shirley has mentioned Tina numerous times, went to stay with her several times and also let Zsa Zsa live with her. They were in contact throughout Shirley's stint before Tina was cast, she just wasn't seen on screen. I think Tina is on the fence about Dean/Linda - she doesn't know.
I think that's a shame though, we are finally seeing beneath Shirley's armour and it's just a shame that some have made up there minds and won't allow it. Posters want Shirley to progress and then when she does or we find out about her, it's moaned about - I don't get it! I, personally, am enjoying it - I would like to see this human side of Shirley more often, alongside her comedic side - which has taken a back seat recently.
She doesn't know what to believe and just wants it over and have a family back. She knows mock and Linda have each other but Shirley doesn't have anything. The only people that know for definite are Dean and Linda... Anyone else can believe whatever until it's proven but Linda left
It too late and muck ruined a chance for Linda to get a confession. Even she is prepared to be in the same room for a funeral or to confront him. Tina shouldn't be fight up in it.
Who said they are turning Shirley into a saint?
Here:
Personally, it's because I strongly believe another Shirley example of horrible behaviour is just around the corner and so it feels hollow when we see her show any signs of vulnerability. Dean's not being charged with anything, so why doesn't she just leave now with him as she said she wanted to last night? Regardless of whether she believes Dean is innocent or not, it would be easier for everyone involved if she took herself and him away. But she won't and so the cycle continues and blah...
BIB for the same reason that any character doesn't leave when they're having a tough time....they wouldn't be in the show any more.
Maybe Shirley shouldn't be in the show anymore, if they can't take the character in a fresh direction. I know pigs will fly before that happens but then again, it's not my decision.
I know how the people who loathe Phil feel, when they suffer through what they perceive to be increasingly contrived scenarios for him to demonstrate his place as the king of Walford.
