Eastenders - Shirley is her own worse enemy!
WTF was that near the end of the episode, bringing Dean into the Vic when she knows what problems it will cause it's like, she likes hurting her family and Mick, I just wish we can have a break from this never ending drama, Shirley is selfish as f*ck and clearly doesn't give a sh*t about any one but herself,
the whole caring about Dean is more about her ego, she was a crap mother and doesn't want her child to be a rapist cause it reflect badly on her when she knows deep down it the truth. |

Agreed. Kinda hard to have any sympathy for her when she insists, repeatedly, on making everything about herself and behaving like a child and then complaining about poor her when it backfires.
Bring Dean into the Vic was disgusting - Linda has bent over backwards to get Mick and Shirley to reunite even with Shirley repeatedly attacking her, and she marches him into her home? |

It was her father's funeral and she was entitled to be there (as was Dean even if he is a rapist).

I think Shirley genuinely, at this point, believes Dean's innocent and now the charges have been dropped, it further emphasises the belief in his innocence and that he should be able to get back to normal. I don't think she was 'lauding' Dean over them, because she doesn't believe he has done anything wrong. She may even be in denial but she can't disown Dean, if she did and he was innocent, then she would have lost her son, again.
I would judge her more, if she did know and still insisted on taking him into the pub, like Phil did with Ben when he came out of prison. Linda may be trying to piece the family back together but Shirley sees her as the woman who almost ruined her son's life. Imagine if Linda had lied, the reactions from viewers would be in support of Shirley, it is often forgotten that Shirley doesn't know what we know. However, having said that - the writing has been fairly inconsistent between some of the characters involved. I just want Shirley to find out now, her association with Dean isn't showing her in her best light. Nor Buster. And I want to see s&b without Dean. Shirley needs to be away from Dean but I don't think he is leaving anytime soon. |

Shirley is fantastic and by far the best Carter.

Why didn't she go then? I'd have had some respect for her if she'd turned up at the funeral but no because she is incapable of doing the right thing and of course there was much more misery to be had if her and the rapist are already installed in the Vic when the family return

I agree! She is so watchable, and complex. She definitely stirs up strong reactions, which is what TPTB want from a character. By far the best Carter.

I think she was trying to show solidarity to Dean by not attending, they showed her looking cut up about not going when everyone else was leaving the square. I guess she believes Dean is the victim in all this. Her reaction when the truth comes out will be interesting and I look forward to the Shirley/Linda scenes. But alas, it seems it will be later rather than sooner as Matt DA is still filming. I don't see how they can drag it out any longer mind you!,
I sincerely hope when all this comes out that Mick and Linda will never speak to Shirley again. She has dealt with this appallingly and she doesn't deserve any reconciliation with Mick. I know this won't happen but it should. |

Not true. Alcohol is Shirley's worst enemy.

She may be unsure, either way there's unfortunately no solid evidence and she's going to want to keep Dean either way. I really can't find much to moan about when it comes to Shirley. I find her entertaining and interesting, unlike Nancy & Lee who should be axed, considering they do absolutely nothing, other than stand side by side, stating 'OI, what's going on with mom and dad?', etc... A bit off point, but I really like Shirley and I think the Carters treat her really badly at times, and Linda has always been vile to her. Poor Linda when it comes to Dean, I agree with you. But, when it comes to Shirley, no way. IF Linda was lying, Mick would still defend her if he was none the wiser, even if he wasn't 100% sure, and Shirley is doing the same with Dean. If the truth does come out then yes Shirley should apologise, but Linda was always vile to Shirley long before any of this happened.

Shirley has always been selfish and after undeserved sympathy. I believe she knows what Dean did but chooses not to face up to it. However leaving that aside she still used the whole situation to try to get Mick to leave Linda. She'd have been in 7th Heaven then having her sons around her at the Vic and she wouldn't have cared less what happened to Linda
