Cora and Rainie...
How will Cora react when she discovers that Rainie is back in Walford?

I think Cora will be shocked at first, but be glad to see her daughter again. The last time she saw her she was sad to see her go, "go quickly now" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5_Fb_83Vfw and also during the slow Ava introduction/build up to Tanya's wedding Christmas 2012, we saw Cora really desperate to get in touch with Rainie, going after to meet her and trying to reconnect.
At the end of the day, Rainie is her youngest child, her baby and always looks out for her. Sort of like Linda's over-protection for Johnny, but that's another story - another post on another thread! Cora will enjoy having a daughter on the Square, although maybe not showing it through her tough exterior. |

Love to see how Rainie will react to Max, after hearing he was seeing Lucy.
Does Rainie know about Ava? |

Rainie cut Cora out of her life because she identified that her mother was a trigger for her substance abuse. Unless Cora addresses her alcoholism there is really no point to Rainie's return unless the aim is to evoke pity for Cora by having Rainie reject her again. However, it would be hard to be sympathetic to a woman who refuses to address the one thing that endangered her daughter's life and damaged their relationship and almost killed her granddaughter. I would love to see Eastenders tackle the impact of alcohol abuse on families by having Cora realise how her drinking has affected her daughters and granddaughter. Rainie's return is the perfect opportunity. Quote:

Lucy was nothing to Rainie and Tanya and Max had long been separated before the affair. It's really none of her business. Rainie also came to Max's house while she was high allowing his teenage daughter to see her aunt strung out on drugs. She is no position to judge him. |

Is Tanya Franks back for any length of time, or is it just a quick return?

I don't think Tanya Franks is back permanently. She's probably back for several months.

Hopefully a perfunctory nod and that's it, the less time that vile witch is on screen the better.

I hope we get to see some stuff between Cora and Rainie... Ann Mitchell deserves better material than she currently gets.

. Yes Ann Mitchell needs more screentime as she's a very good actress.

It's kind of surreal that Rainie and Ava never met

Rainie is still unaware of Ava and Cora has no idea that Rainie is lurking around the corner but after last night's question about Rainie from Patrick, is Cora suspicious that her wayward daughter is actually in Walford?

Personally, I wish they'd kept Rainie on the straight and narrow and just had someone else for Cora to anchor and interact with. I don't understand what happened to tip the boat again for Rainie. I also think it's a bit weird that she seems to revert to the same outfit whenever in the midst of an addiction storyline. Does she hide them away and return to change into them when she falls off the wagon? It's just a shame they don't utilise a mother-daughter dynamic when it's there - it would bring so much out of Cora. It's also not a relationship dynamic we see much of the on the square any more, save Carol and her daughters. I suppose there's Linda and Nancy, but once she's "got her in a dress" I'm sure that'll be it for them.
I don't know. On one hand it's realistic to show an addict lapsing back into using, but I think they just wheel on Bad-Rainie whenever they need someone to hiss at Ian Beale or be a right nasty bastard when Janine's not about. I think it's more about needing her to do that than progressing the character, which is a shame as she could have a place on the show again, for a bit. |

I really like Rainie but wish they'd explore her as a character beyond just being an addict. For someone so troubled she must have an interesting background story.

Rainie is back as a regular so we see her fractured relationship with Cora revisited.
