She always seems to be taking a lot of days off work recently. how long do you think it'll be before she ends up working in the square??

At a Recruitment Agency away from the square .
But she has more time off than John Wayne's safety catch

Why doesnt the mum care that both Alice and Joey have moved away, I know their adults but you'd think the mum would make a fuss especially since she knows Derek violent towards everyone.
Soon she'll be looking for a job, after a day of looking someone will give her a job.

She needs to leave already, the character is embarrassing.

She makes Ronnie's naive daughter from a few yrs back seem intelligent.

reminds me of when bradley used to work in the city, yet he would come back for lunch.
There's a Pret on every other corner in central.i know i'd rather go to Pret than the greasy cafe.

Let's be honest , EE has never been realistic when it comes to working .
I mean how does Roxy feed and clothe herself and little Amy , how much money does Christian bring in and whats Billy been eating and buying cans with since he got the boot from Butchers Joints ? Could FattyBoy afford the rent ? Does Mas no longer work at the school ? can the gym really pay a living wage to both Jack and Michael ?
But Hey it's fictional after all ....

Maybe she isn't contracted to work every day in the week. She gets Mondays off or something.

I can see her working in the club for a night, generally embarrassing her big brother at the bar.

I used to work in a job where I had to work alternate Saturdays. On those weeks, I was given a midweek day off in lieu.

I imagine a recruitment agency would ber open on Saturdays (and maybe even Sundays too) so it is perfectly reasonable that Alice has midweek days off.

Ha ha, you're right, EE does seem very half hearted at the whole cast's work situation and it's consistency, as if it's totally peripheral in every sense. The show abandons ship on a lot of jobs people have with the exception of showing the Queen Vic's employees for the most part and Janine and Michael of late. The whole Mas being a school classroom assistant or whatever seems to have only been done to suit the Ian coming back to life storyline re Peter. You mentioned about Billy but I think he's been claiming dole money since his Butcher's Joint termination. Also Jay's involvement in "Hev's" murder seems to be a distant memory now too and I wonder how he's surviving now that he's not got a job...unless he was earning money with Lola for their "on the side" cleaning lark?

All in all though the whole work scene within EE is like it's just some kind of sideshow to all the drama, totally unrealistic of course! Guess that's why it's a soap though.

Well if she comes out with comments like 'we can play i spy' and 'im going for a wee wee' at work then she wont last for long at her job, especially in recruitment...its a terrible business to work in, full of obnoxious, rude, annoying and stuck up individuals. Alice should work in a sweet shop. Also speaking of EE characters working does Whitney still work at the nursery or has that been forgotton about as well??

I think Whitney is still working as a nursery nurse. At least that is feasible.

Why isn't Lauren at college or looking for a job? It really annoys me.

Much as I love Lauren , I agree completely , she does bugger all . Where does she get the money for her nice clothes etc .
She should at least be at college or something instead of bumming around . Even a few shifts in Argee Bargee waitressing would pay for her nice make up

Yeah, this annoys me too. If I tried to run over my dad and failed out of college (not even university, but that weird English college thing you guys have for half-arsed people), and got expelled from a school in America I made a huge fuss over attending, I wouldn't be allowed to sit on my butt all day watching TV and complaining. My parents would force me to get a job or do something with my life.

I think she was babysitting unintentionally for Michael last week so that was a handsome cash in hand job, good work if you can get it! I'd imagine Max spoils her too!

That's the first time anybody's mentioned Danielle for eons on here! I still miss that great, if short lived era of the show personally!
