I like Leyla a lot too, although I always did. Can't believe they've put her with the execrable Jai, I don't believe she'd touch him with a bargepole. Especially after she's witnessed his recent antics.

In Eastenders more than Emmerdale. Michael being a prime example of this

Yes, she actually saw him threaten Rachel, didn't she. I don't believe for a second that she'd stick with him after that, she's not a stupid muppet, but it's another of these triangles that's been levered together for plot reasons.

Still a likeable character though - hope she gets something better to do soon.

Yeah that's right, and he grabbed her roughly too. Leyla was initially horrified by that and I expected her to ditch him there and then. Can't remember what now but I'm sure she saw/heard about him doing something else dodgy recently. I agree there's no way she'd stick with him, she's seen what a nasty piece of work he is. Totally out of character.

True. I'm hoping Jai will get killed off, can't stand watching him anymore. I'd like to see them give Leyla more to do, preferably not involving sleeping with someone else's husband.

Yeah, can we have a Year of Fidelity now? I'm sick of affairs.

I'd actually have loved Leyla to gang up with Megan to investigate Jai and bring him down, that would've been awesome, but you can't always have what you want I guess.

There is no way Leyla would betray megan again so taking up with Jai again is just dreadful writing. Character development gone out the window too

That'd be great. I'd love for all the soaps to have a ban on affairs, it might force them to come up with something original...

Oh god, I bet that would have been really good! I loved their friendship, it's such a shame it'll probably be totally ruined now. I can't see Megan forgiving and forgetting again, and why should she really.

She really wouldn't, she seemed to really value Megan's friendship and I don't buy that she'd just throw it away. Especially not 5 minutes after the last time she screwed her over. Like you say, crap writing.

I absolutely love Leyla, since she's been back. Every time someone calls her a lap dancer and she corrects them; 'Pole dancer, POLE' it cracks me right up

It's that manipulation again, we're being told to like her so I don't.

A Year of Fidelity sounds perfect! Show us the dramas of people living together please.

With regard to Leyla and Megan, I was hoping that they would team up and kill him

Shame it looks like it's not going to happen.

Finn is an abhorrent little creature and I would happily watch him burn to death next week.

The Oxford English Dictionary meaning of 'abhorrent' is 'Inspiring disgust and loathing; repugnant'. Why do you think that of him? I think he's a nice kid.

Er ... OK. That seems a wee bit extreme for such a mild-mannered little fella though.

So glad the scriptwriters decided to keep Moira and Cain as a couple, and scuppering the plans of Charity to win back Cain at all costs. I like this pairing, showing Cain with a softer side alongside his macho strongarm tactics.

I like most of them, but have to disagree with a poster over Tracy, I cannot take to her at all, same with Bob's daughter.......but time will tell, it depends on which storylines they are given.
