What an absolute joke.
A house ablaze from top to bottom and filled with lung bursting smoke yet Alfie and Kat escape with a few minor burn marks. It's insulting trash like this that gives soaps a bad reputation.

That's nice.

You're kidding right? Minor burns? Kat's burns looked horrific!

it was abit too fast and something about it looked fake and wooden
not sure what...

The windows definely looked fake the fire everyone was looking up at the windows looked like something that was done on powerpoint

"a few minor burns"- Absolute crap in that sentence anyway Spunger

I see what you did there.

Yeah that was one awkward scene,
i think its down, to the camera angles.

Oh really? Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Burns are pretty bloody serious.

Ok, smoke inhalation is a major problem with fires, but Alfie and Kat got out *fairly* quickly.

The worse option would be to do nothing at all. I don't see how this equates to it being a 'ridiculous' episode, especially when fires are Soap staples and smoke inhalation never seems to come up in any of those either.

They ac tually set fire to the house so how could it look fake? It looked like a normal blaze to me.

The most ridiculous thing was the complete lack of a smoke alarm? There are babies in that house. Talk about irresponsible.

Yeah I should have jiust said Alfie.

Alfie's burns looked very minor considering the entire house was blazing away. No way could anyone get away with such minor injuries in a fire like that.

I thought you meant Kat. Yeah Alfie's weren't as bad but his face was all red and his hands were bad so I assume he managed to cover his face with his coat or something

The house being on fire probably looked worse than it should have done because those particular sets are merely half constructions.

Beyond the hall way there is absolutely nothing there to add the illusion it's a full, empty shell.

Thought the explosion was good... I see they haven't forgotten Tamwar's ordeal BUT why didn't Sharon mention Tom? Didn't he die in that house many years ago during another fire?

I know, Alfie is a dreadful father not fitting a smoke alarm.

Possobly?

Op should think before making any threads.

I have to disagree with you 100% OP

Plus the fact that that house went up 12 years ago!

I don't mean to sound horrible but wouldn't such a young baby be seriously harmed even if Kat was cradling him to protect him he would have inhaled a lot of smoke.

I don't know anything about it but is it not a bit unlikely he isn't off to hospital too?

There was no baby in the house??

I didn't realise it until someone pointed it out in the ep thread but there was a moment in the pub where Sharon held Phil back... that may have been a subtle nod to Tom.

realistic though as a lot of people don't have them or they forget to test them/change the batteries.
