Do they do any kind of work? It seems they spend all day every day exploring their dramas over and over and over again.

It's so self indulgent and whiny.

And, custody of a sick child? These 2? On what planet?

It's just so effing lazy on the part of the makers of this programme.

Both don't work. Shirl 'helps out' at the salon, but that's probably fag and booze supplement money. They are both 'crashing' at the truemans.

And hey, they are going for custody of jade!

Do you create an 'anti Shirley' thread everyday? Lol.

I assume Buster is doing something dodgy for money.

Shirley still has the 10k from Phil and Stan's 5k. And she is working at Blades.

We rarely see any characters work to be honest, do we? I mean where does Charlie work? How do Stacey, Kush, Martin ect...survive on what they get from the market? Denise isn't working either, or Vincent.

Denise has said that Shirley, Buster and Dean are paying rent.

Plus although they applying for access, doesn't mean they will necessarily get it.

The woman rolls around in the bins for goodness sake!!!

And she's a seriously antisocial vodka stained mess. Her behaviour for a grown adult by any standard is SHOCKING. Walking in and hassling her son at his work and pulling the plug of the shoe drier out? And last week she punched a woman for no reason.

She is beyond loathsome.

She apologized to Carol, and Shirley isn't the first character to punch another. Is pulling the plug out of the socket to get Dean's attention and asking Paul to take over, really worth getting het up about? I'm not sure how that is relevant in terms of reply to my previous post though?

That was uncalled for...

It's not only the bins shes rolled in. She's known to have been slumped up the alley a few times and laying face down in a skip caked in her own sick

The thing that annoys me is that nobody, nobody behaves like this in real life.

Ah yes! I forgot about that. Still, we rarely see him work, but it doesn't mean he doesn't, if you see what I mean?

But this isn't real life and most characters in soaps are exaggerated versions of real life personalities anyway.

Did Mick and Linda end up buying out Shirley's share of the Vic? I totally forgot that plot.

I imagine Dean has been paying some amount to Denise and Kim through the Blades money. They were in mortgage arrears though it appears that Vincent now part owning The Albert (and other dodgy dealings) has magically alleviated their financial situation.

If the characters in EE acted like real life people the show would be boring and would not have lasted 30 years

But she's not a murderer or a rapist so she's still morally superior to the majority of residents in the square

Shirley doesn't need to work as she's a kept woman. Phil just empties his safe every time she comes knocking

True she's only got away with attempted murder.

You have to laugh at how Phil always just gives Shirley money. And it always seems to be 10k. Did we ever find out what she knew about Good Friday for Phil to give her the money?
