Im getting worried that EE is about to fall apart again. It's getting so silly that viewers will be put off

Well he is credited on Tuesday and Thursday.

I agree. While I thought the ending of the trial was stupid, I still find EE infinitely more watchable than Corrie.

Bit unfair. Jaws is not due as a surprise witness til tomorrow.

Max going on the run means they're going to have to stretch the limits of credibility (again) to bring him back next year, just like that ridiculous Stacey storyline. I really hope this isn't what happens.

Ridicukous, but I enjoyed it.

Can I also remind everyone it's only a soap, and they are far fetched anyway.

*Remembers back to when Cameron Murray and Tony Gordon also escaped*

Doesn't make it even slightly believable that it has happened on occasion... that something is possible is not the ingredients of good continuing drama

We live in a country where rapists and murderers have escaped from leyhill prison (A fairly open prison) they should never have been there in the first place anyway.

They should have been hanged but that's another matter.

EastEnders is a soap FFS and gets panned for showing such scenes when they do happen in real life. Does some people on here live a very sheltered life or what.

Wrong, wrong, wrong

Most terraces have manholes that are under a subfloor... means the pipes are accessible... and remember that one is under the garage... different topic though!

It's so not going to happen. I agree it was a bit ridiculous but every soap has a bit of SOR at the moment

You do get offensive when anyone criticises your beloved show. Hopefully criticism will make the producers take stock before Cindy Beale and Pat are announced as returning.

That was ludicrous nonsense that does not happen regularly. The level of security at the verdict of a murder trial is always high for various reasons.

'You're going to need a bigger courtroom.'

Cue the top of the Philth's bald head sweeping just above the top of the benches looking for the foreman.

I think if you take a life from someone then it's only right yours gets taken away.

As I said that is another matter and not one to be discussed on DS.

Which proves what?

Looking on Twitter it's being absolutely ridiculed!
