When I first read the spoilers about Denise being Fatboy's new love interest, I'll admit I wasn't impressed. I thought it seemed like a stupid storyline for Denise, and a tiresome one involving Fatboy.

However, seeing it play out now, I think it has potential. I've really liked the way it's started out. It wasn't done in a sordid way at all, and we're seeing Denise show obvious discomfort over sleeping with someone far younger than her.

I think as this develops, as well as their feelings for each other, it will be interesting to watch. Also, it will be good to see a 'love affair' which doesn't see characters acting beyond selfish, betraying people who have shown them nothing but love and devotion. I think this plot will actually bring out the best in both characters.

All in all, up to now I am impressed. I think it just goes to show that in some cases you do have to withhold your judgement until you've actually seen the scenes play out. I'm interested to hear what others think of what we've seen so far?

I liked the sound of it from when I read the spoilers. They are so mismatched that it works. Also, working with older characters brings out the best in Fatboy. I doubt it's going to be storyline of the year material, but it seems decent enough on the basis of yesterday and today.

There's something charming about this relationship, I know that's an old fashioned word but I think it fits. Fats shows Denise the respect that is so often missing from relationships in Eastenders.
I'm looking forward to seeing where they take this, it could work for both of them.

I would have nevet put these two together but so far it works. I'm surprised but I've liked the scenes they've had together and its nice that they're both getting good partners and they both deserve some happiness and fun.

Haha!! I did think that at first, but then a throway line reminded me; it's from the confrontation he had with the creeps who tried it on with Denise in Monday's ep.

Also, thanks for the replies so far guys. I see I'm not alone in enjoying this storyline, I think it's something a bit different for the show as it's been of late.

It's also good that these two aren't the stereotypical characters you'd normally see in such a plot - Denise isn't a sexy soap vixen and Fatboy isn't the typical 'badboy heartthrob', and their characters have not been altered to turn this into a sordid little thing. Good work so far in my book.

It was a month or two ago now, when Lauren had her daytime 'party'. It was the same episode that they all played spin the bottle, one by one the youth lot left and it was just Lauren and Fatboy. She was bladdered and given him the eye, he promptly did a runner to leave her drinking alone.

Fatboy got his black eye from someone in the pub who was giving Denise hassle.

Agreed .

You're right though, he should be looking at the likes of Lauren, Lucy and Poppy - not Denise for christ's sake . She looks like his mother lol.

Some boys like older women

After his experiences with Whitney, I'm not surprised he's moved on.

Oh okay, thanks . That explains it.

True, I would agree with the BIB even if I find it a bit unbelievable that Fatboy would be going after her. Nice thread, OP .

True enough and I agree that the experience with Whitney must have left him messed up a bit, but I find it unbelievable that Fatboy would find it hard to find a nice girl his age. He's hardly Timid Tamwar!

Denise looked amazing in that dress, she got an amazing figure and who cares about age they both like each other and it seems to work.

To be fair, Denise is hot. Also, she doesn't look 43 years old. I'd say she looks early 30's at the least.

To be honest, I think I'd take an older, attractive, classy lady like Denise with some life experience over the show's young stunners any day! That's just my personal taste though.
