Anyone else finding Jean unlikeable?

I thought they were both unlikeable tonight. Stacey shouldn't have tried to spoil Jean's wedding day by going on about it on that particular day

Yep. They were as bad as each other. It would've been nice to have Jean's wedding day be a happy episode, instead of ruining it with all of the sniping between her and Stacey.

That scene with Lily about the snatching reminded me of when she was taking care of her while Stacey was in prison. Really impatient and rude. But stress is a HUGE trigger for incredibly agitated moods in bipolar so might just be that.

Reminded me of the original incarnation of Jean. I think Stacey is a more realistic portrayal of someone with bipolar (not that I'm an expert) whereas Jean has become something of a caricature in recent years, and people assume her odd personality has to do with her bipolar.

Would it be better for him to ignore the obvious signs that Stacey isn't well and let her continue on a downward spiral? Surely his doubts show how much he cares, no?

Not a huge Martin fan but I don't blame him at all. Weirdness all around with massive personality changes, feeling like he's in one minute and out the next, being spoken to like he's Stacy's unwanted pet, etc. He and Stacy aren't even really "together" except in the very beginning stages. If this was happening to me, I'd cut my losses and leave before going any further without any remorse of what the relationship might have been...I would have seen enough to know I didn't want it. His comments seem quite reasonable to me based on what he's witnessing.

Stacey isn't off her meds though. We've seen her taking them. Although it does seem like she's having a episode. Maybe they're not working.

I did notice on Friday that Stacey started scratching the backs of her hands when she was talking - something that she did previously when she was on a downward spiral towards an episode.

I've never been a fan of Jean or Stacey. Bipolar is used appallingly in soaps, and Eastenders in particular. All they've done with it with Stacey is used it as a Get Out Of Jail Free card for her. Jean's depiction is slightly more plausible, but she just ends up like a screeching child too often.

I think Stacey is ill again.

I wasn't finding Jean unlikeable until the very last scene last night. I thought it was really cruel to make Stacey think the key was gone forever just because she doesn't want to face up to whatever happened in the past.

I always quite liked Jean but she came across as very sinister and creepy last night!

She was pretty twisted, but we have seen signs of that in the past too. Jean is lovely and friendly when things are going her way, but like a spoiled child if it doesn't, she lashes out spitefully and attacks.

She was pretty awful to Stacey. I mean Stacey is no saint, but Jean basically attacked her from the moment she showed up. There's definitely some real issues there.

I disgree, EE researched Biploar when Jean and Stacey got it, they even got praised for the storyline.

I think Brian Slater is alive.
And going by his middle name, Gavin, which he had also used as his alias as a teenager.

Sharon is 'Brian' Slater's first child, and ergo Kathy is Stacey's step-mum

Hahahaha!

The episode should have finished with Jean stroking the key sensually whilst repeating the phrase "my precious" over and over again
