Joey CRACKS me up - I love him!!!

All the characters seem really stiff and awkward, as if they are completely scripted now - especially all that stuff from Mark about Lauren.....

Agreed! His scenes are always the funniest, but I think Chloe deserves some of the credit, as her sensible bemusement is part of what makes the whole thing work.

That aside, I thought it was a bit of a slow start to the series, mostly because everyone seemed reasonably content with, or resigned to, their current situation, and so the plot was a bit static.

The biggest shock from last night was that Mark's mother cracked a smile! A fleeting one at least...

I didn't really miss Amy; I think the girly banter between Gemma and Chloe made up for it.

I loved Harry's line to Gemma: "Those hips don't lie!"

The new additions were awful: the two protein-shake twins, wooden Frankie and Mario's backside.

I adore Joey hes so sweet!

Is the ep on Wednesday new or a repeat?

Its new. New episodes every Wednesday and Sunday

Cant really say I was concentrating on his acting. The bare ALL - honestly, pause the second look - you will see why Lucy's looking shocked!!!! nb it was a chap that noticed it - not me! lol

I know it's always been set up, but I thought it felt much more set up than before - like Mark's tears, for example! Sort of found myself missing Amy, but I reckon they're grooming Gemma to be the new Amy..http://www.tv-ooh.com/2011/09/inexpl...houghtful.html

Did anyone else out there think the twins looked like a young Paul Gambaccini (or should that be Gambaccinos?!)

OMG http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ghts-baby.html

How inappropriate is that?!

I don't get it at all. I lasted 'til the ads on the first episode. Is it meant to be a proper soap? The acting is so awful I thought it was a home video.

Kirk is such a t osser.

No wonder mark was in tears as Lauren aborted his baby ffs

It was supposed to have been years ago when she was 20, not recently! What these ppl will do for money is beyond rank!!
Disgusting fake pple from head to toe. And Mark's Mother Jesus, words really do fail me on this stupid bitch. How old is she for Gods sake no wonder her kids are vain plastic replicas of real people! Nanny Pat is the only real person in that sorry family

Oooer, sorry rant over. I don't like the programme, anyone tell ?

I was thinking the same. Thought her face looked quite puffy especially round the eyes. Botox maybe? Would not say that she needs it thou

I liked that andcan see the awkwardness, naturally but been there had that chat once in my life.

I don't think its any more scripted than normal. And enjoyed last nights show

Can someone explain what this programme is please. Is it bad acting or improvisation? Are they given scripts? I dont get it, its like really bad acting to me.

That scene with laurens sister and Lucy was awkward both in realisation and execution

Oh and great dubbing during the Kirk and Lauren p conversation . He's comes across even more slurry that usual

"First gay nightclub"? HA! Please.

Also, wasn't Harry going out with that guy from the X Factor boyband from a few years back?

watching on +1, Harry's brother the complete opposite to him

i thought there was a spark between kirk and jess at the singles night!

they make a good couple, be good to see them together

I wouldn't wish Kirk on anybody. Even Jessica - i've got no personality- Wright.

Tonight's episode was a lot better than Sunday's... not sure the extended yoga scene was really necessary though (yes yes I know the boys who post here will have a different opinion on that!)

Potential spark between Maria & Mick?

Marks doing my head in this series already.

i liked it when she said, this is wehen you go and get a pre nup i like maria, shes hot.

Gemma seems to be getting a lot of airtime so far. Maria and chloe should get more air time
