How can Bianca and Ricky be so broke that they can't afford decent christmas presents when they both work and live with Pat?

They got ripped off by the company but they must have wages coming in since then and Pat can't be charging them that much rent. Plus Ian gave Bianca a pay rise recently after she found out about him and Ghastly Glenda.
I can understand they might not have saved any money along the way but to make out as if Bianca has to rely on stealing the odd pound here and there is a bit ridiculous. And as if anyone would put money in a christmas club? Haven't they heard what Arfur Fowler did?

My OH, who doesn't watch EE (just 'sees' it when I'm watching) pointed this out yesterday (whilst roaring with laughter at the ridiculousness of it all)

While I did point out that we aren't thick and people DO notice the idiocy. I couldn't explain why we all still watch it

Wasn't it only £10,000 he nicked from Roxy? That wouldn't even be a deposit on a house like that in London and who would give him a mortgage?

I think it was 20k,but thats still not enough,maybe he used that as a startup for his dodgy car stealing business?,which also explains how Ryan has cash now.

In reality some people throw ridiculous amounts of money at things like weddings in this country when all anybody needs is a registry office! Still not quite sure how Roxy managed to squander £3 million in less than eight months when all she had to show for it was a second hand beauty salon she had off Tanya, a 40% share in a poxy club, a new but modest car and some nice clothes...especially seeing that slippery Danny didn't make off with anything either!

Roxy losing 3 million is absolutely pathetic. Nobody could possibly spend that much in that time and still be living in Walford as she does.

I hate this stupidity. Roxy gave the vic to Peggy so why the he'll does Phil now have it?and why doesn't roxy demand it back? Does Phil hate roxy or something because it's so out of order that he's left her skintight? Did they have an augment or something? He knows how good roxy was to Peggy ? She ECM gave her money to do a runner with after Phil burnt down her pub! The writers are smoking crack harder than Phil if they expect us to believe he's got hold of about 500 grand in a month or so for a few nicked cars.

What happened about the fire investigation at the Vic? Surely they found that the fire was started with petrol = arson. No way would an insurance company pay out yet all you heard during the rebuild was the insurance company are paying! And even the rebuild... 6 weeks from burnt out to complete refurb! Please... do they think we are thick?

I think the writers are on crack cocaine or have draughted in a load of school leavers or those on work experience from the local schools to randomly script a lot of the present storylines. Everything concerning Phil in the show right now (and going back to his drug addiction last Autumn time) must've been written by a fantasist 16 year old as it is so out of line with reality - or even with a half realistic soap!

Where did The Masoods get the money to buy a restaurant, weren't they skint as well not so long ago. Everyone in EE either has loads of money and can buy businesses at the drop of a hat, or there at the other end of the scale and are grovelling around for rent money every month. Also, I've said this before, how come Dot can do a full time job and go to all these other things like choir practice with her new man friend when she's got a husband at home who needs full time care

Yes, they must think we are as thick as pigshit I think! The Vic fire and it's aftermath storyline was swept under the carpet or forgotten about as quickly as it now looks like the Kat-Ronnie baby swap storyline is set to be anytime soon - if what we hear is true!

I thought a drunk Phil emptied a bottle of whiskey on the floor and threaten to set it alight. I'm not sure if Phil accidentally dropped the lighter or dropped it deliberately. I don't remember any petrol being involved

Where is Janine's dog Terrence these days? The last time we saw her was during the Tiffany and Wellard storyline. Did she run out the gate like Chips?

More to the point where have Janine and Ryan been hiding since all the Christmas furore?! - winter hibernation mode? Janine would surely be back home from hospital by now while Ryan's no recluse in the Square!

Also, if Janine is still living in that flat, how come she can afford London rent if she's not working? She had a job at the vic but we haven't seen her there at all. Maybe Walford has it's own microeconomy where everything costs peanuts

Maybe Alfie's giving her sympathy pay/leave as opposed to sick pay/leave!

I think you've answered your own question there!

Janine did work at the Vic, as did Ryan and Stacey. They all left pretty much at the same time yet none of them have had to be replaced, poor old Tracy is obviously doing the job of 4 people.


On another topic. Would the Masoods allow customers to drink alcohol in their restaurant?
