Cindy was brilliant tonight. You could really feel for her and her pain. She's suffering from post natal depression but no one is listening to her to really understand how she feels and are just making her out to be a selfish brat.

Ian & Jane should be ashamed of themselves, I have really gone off them since the reveal. Ian is a nasty, self serving, weak-minded little man who has no respect for himself or his dead daughter and Jane is a psychopathic, narcissistic wrench who obsessed of having the perfect family should (fortunately) couldn't have through pregnancy .

Poor Beth probably won't reach age 20 with Bobby still around waiting for to 'cause trouble'. Beth's best chance in life is to be as far away from Bobby and the Beales as possible.

Bulge eyes, pout, flounce, repeat. I'd take 10 of Mimi over her anyday.

Mimi did fine, a bit OTT but it worked with the situation that Cindy found herself in.
I found last nights episode a bit crazy in general, but in a good way and I loved the cliffhanger last night as well.

Everyone apart from Leitia Dean was awful last night. But the writing wasn't good either.

Mimi Keene is usually a very good acfress but I didn't think she was particularly good last night. Her acting seems OTT. Perhaps Mimi Keene was ill when she was acting out her scenes? Adam Woodyatt, Laurie Brett, Letitia Dean, Stephen Marcus and Steve McFadden were fabulous last night.

Ben and Abi, wooden, and Les is appalling. What accent is that supposed to be? I've never heard a Londoner use that weird intonation, where his voice goes up like a Hebrides fisherman or something - reminds me of Fraser in Dad's Army about to say "we're all doooomed".

I didn't think her acting was great (and she seems to be doing a pretty selfie pout the whole time - she can't help being gorgeous but it's like she's afraid to move her face, can't blame Botox) but I agree with your analysis of the characters and the situation.

Dysfunctional doesn't begin to cover that household, it's a dangerous place for a child and Bethany is no blood relation to Ian or Jane.

It wasn't 'shocking' I have seen far worse, I think Mimi is a good actress for her age, nowhere near as good as Danielle (Lola) though.

The actress is overrated to be honest. She is decent at everyday stuff, but when she tries dramatic stuff, she fails. It just looks like a teenage girl going through teenage tantrums, which is painful. If the girl wasn't pretty, I do not think the actress would be getting so much praise.

To be fair she's young and it's a difficult emotion to portray.

Letitia was great. 'Pay him!!!!!!!!' And Adam and Laurie do sinister very well.

I assumed this was what they were going for but it didn't really work for me. But at least Mimi gives it a go, unlike Matt Di Angelo who goes from blank expression number 1 to blank expression number 2 and back again.

Sometimes she is quite good, particularly given her age, but last night wasn't one of those times.

She was outstanding! Really shocked at the negativity on here. I think I'd react the exaxt same in Cindy's situation and I do think she's suffering from post natal depression

I thought she was fantastic. Really made me empathise with Cindy's situation and really turned me against Ian and Jane.

I thought Mimi was brilliant in the lives and I think she plays a stroppy teenager in a very grown up situation incredibly well.

I feel a bit bad for Cindy at the moment. but by god all that shouting and screaming was grating, if anyones missed it last night and watches it on catchup my advice is watch it with the sound down
