Aww, yeah, when she said she loved him it was awful because he's never heard her say that before and he so badly wants them to be together and knows they can't

I know when he first said he loved her, she just smiled, this was the first time face to face she has said it!

Ahhh I'm excited for the next few weeks, the brannings seem to be taking centre stage for the next 4 weeks

The spoilers are very interesting though, what does lauren need saving from and who is this unexpected saviour? Maybe she's heard some horrible things from Ian.
The "extra curricular activities" thing must be lauren, I don't think abi or Alice would use Dots house for anything that would mortifying Dot. And what is max and lauren hiding?

I'm actually quite interested to hear Abi tell her family what she thinks of them, maybe it'll be an enlightening moment for some people.

The look on Joey's face when Lauren told him she loved him too was heartbreaking. It's almost like he'd been uncertain about whether she did or not until that point. The Tanya/Joey scene was good too and the way he was so willing to protect Lauren from his Dad

There's far too much to say about tonight's scenes! I reckon Tanya actually doesn't have a problem with them being together anymore, she knows Joey would never hurt Lauren so really it's just about protecting Lauren from going to court.

Was tonight the first time Lauren's ever actually told Joey she loves him? Bless the look on her face as she was getting ready for the hen night

Yes it was the first time Shady She's told Tanya many times that she loves him but never him.

awww the look on joeys face when she said she loved him too. u could tell he was struggling to keep himself in check. and the scene with tanya. when he wiped his tears away and admitted he loved lauren. and the end bit where he says hes leaving and theyre both in tears. i cried so much at that scene. and then she said she knew what the hair tuck meant and he denied it but he still dod it. i cant believe no david until next week. oh well at least ee put us out of our misery and tell us who kats with. roll on 3rd jan

I can't remember if she said it in the park, after he told her he loved her

Tanya/Joey scene was great. He showed his protective side of her again to her mother. Tanya knows how much Joey loves Lauren, otherwise he wouldn't agree to leave Walford.

david and jac just get together in real life. you have so much chemistry on screen and off.

No, she didn't say it to him in the park. She just smiled and rested her head on his shoulder. I don't think Tanya has a problem with it either. She knows they make each other happy, but she's doing what she thinks is right to protect her daughter! Hurry back please Joey

ahh ok, thanks @midget_lvz_ya God I love that scene! Tanya watched Lauren almost the entire night, at Booty and then at R&R to see her reaction when Joey's name was mentioned. She clearly can see that her daughter loves him...

I loved tanya tonight! Tanya is the only one who knows they both love each other! Joey will do anything to protect lauren! Its like lauren is his world, he can be himself around her

YES!! Same I agree!! X

Wernt meant to put I love jouren tonight not tanya!

of course we love Jouren

I wish their was a scene of Joey and Derek after he was told to leave by Tanya.

There's not been any of Joey being real angry with him about Lauren

Is it me or did no one even speak to Lauren tonight? Alice, Whitney or Lucy. Poor thing

No, no one spoke to her

Her and Lucy were talking a few times in the background.

^yeah her and Lucy were talking

It'd be nice to see her with Alice abit more.
I guess at the minute she's drawn out from everyone.

yep when dot comes back i think she sees lauren and joey in her house doing naughty things

Probably is as if I'm thinking right isn't Cora living in dots house too now and Joey has rented a room there as well as poppy so would make sense if Joey still living there after she gets back

It looks like Joey in some form is accountable for Derek's death, he knows something.
If so, I would have thought he'd stay away from Lauren knowing he's not good enough for her.

Did anyone else think in yesterdays episode he showed signs of frustration? When she went after him, he said "WHAT", as if to say god why can't you just leave me alone.

I dont know.

He has to act like he doesn't care, because he has told lauren to forget about him, so he puts on a act as if he has to, where as in reality its killing him inside
