Oh you martyr!!Lol

You're a true feminist Chris. Denise has ironed and left Ian's jockstrap for you and he's waiting with that smug leer on his face.

Ironed? F*ck that I want it post-gym sweaty.

Only to see the sort of horrid, dirty men these women have to put up with of course, especially Lauren, she must be going through hell.

I think I 'll bail out at this point or I'm going to have nightmares.

Ian doesn't have enough style to be gay anyway.

I'll leave him for you, he's all yours sweetheart. Sleep tight.

Now his eldest son is a whole different story....

Steven? Actually he's nice too. That said if only they had made Peter gay instead.

I meant Peter I forgot about Steven!

Yeah it's a shame that everyone always has to be coupled up. If someone is single then it's constantly mentioned as a terrible thing. e.g. when max was single for about 2 weeks.

I am wondering if, when (if) they eventually tackle the issue of Max's sex addiction, whether Lauren could have the same?

She seems to hardly have got to know a bloke (even her cousin) than she is dragging him into bed.
But then Tanya had her moments too, so she possibly gets it from both sides. Children learn by example and having seen both her parents sleeping around and being routinely unfaithful, it isn;t surprised that she treats relationships in the same way.

Having watched Eastenders fairly regularly over the last year I have to agree wIth the OP.
Its like the writers sit down and work out who is to bed who on a rota basis. Some episodes have consisted of people just running up and down stairs.

So, all praise to Abi. Nice girl, one boyfriend, not a drug addict, not an alcoholic, not been sexually abused (at least for the period Iv been watching anyway).

EDIT: add in Lola too. Wants the best for herself and her child and in a way is having to sacrifice her young life to do that. Hope the writers treat the character well and make her a positive role model. There are so few positives in Eastenders.

I am wondering about what's going to happen with Abi - I thought the way it would go would be that she goes to a London uni so she stays at home.

They all seem quite easy

If I had Peter, Dean and Joey around me I'd be pretty easy as well. Lauren would look like a Vestal Virgin next to me.
