why is everyone saying this is a Zainab character assasination?

when the Masoods first came to the square Syed was exiled from the family.

Syed was again exiled when he. came out as gay so its not really far fetched is it?

Its quite in keeping of Zainabs character that she would be ashamed of Tamwar being with a white woman, Mas sleeping about and Shabs getting knocked up twice and thats before we even mention leaving the first on the doorstep

I don't think Shirley and Mick wanting to have a relationship is disloyal to Linda. Shirley is his mother afterall, and she wasn't the one who raped Linda, that was Dean. If Mick was sneaking around to see Dean then that would be out of order. As it stands, it is perfectly understandable for Shirley (and Mick) to be frustrated at having to hide their relationship.

Also Shirley hasn't said anything to Linda for months, and she also told Mick that she wouldn't impose on their wedding because it is Linda's day. I wish the same old comments wouldn't keep being rehashed over and over again. Even Linda, on screen, said that she and Mick would react the same way if Lee was accused of something.

I am really warming to Carmel, I like her scenes with Masood but I'm not sure what is going on with Zainab? I wonder if she is returning, and this is to put us off the scent, or to confirm that she isn't returning?

Nancy and Tamwar are really blossoming into a lovely relationship.

Ronnie is really frustrating me, and to rope poor Billy into her revenge plans! At least it looks like Billy gets his family back soon.

You actually make a really good point

Completely agree. I also think Zainab will be back too. It's total foreshadowing imo

Zainab character assassination

Dean

Kim/Vincent bore

Ronnie being right nasty, making Billy do her dirty work

Poor Billy

Am LOVING Carmel

Why exactly couldnt Mick take the baby to see Shirl in the end?

I found it quite a poor episode tbh

But didn't you see what happened before Syed left? He parted on good terms with Zainab and she became fond of Christian and accepted him. We don't even know if she knows about Jade for a start.

Also, there is something very unrealistic about Zainab wanting to cut out her kids from her life. She's a stubborn character, but deep down loves them. I don't buy her as this Shirley Carter type mum who abandons her kids. Something has happened in Pakistan and IMO tonight didn't give the whole picture. Masood's revelation about her was about as clear as mud. I wouldn't confuse her bossiness with something as drastic as this.

cos he made a poor excuse of going out drinking with mates, Elaine was trying to start WW3 and it was a filler episode to lead up to the introduction of Craig

Thanks lea, if he wasnt taking Ollie with him why did he go meet Shirl anyway, knowing she would be disappointed?

Ah yes, I forgot to include in my review, I was hoping we would see Craig tonight but sadly we have to wait.

unrealistic when she has done it twice already? ok then

the circumstances were different and her reasons for acceptance not straightforward. she is stubborn hence cutting syed out twice, perfectly feasible that she would do so again. perfectly feasible that again, with time and circumstances she would forgive/accept what she needed to

am I spoon feeding you tonight?

to set them up for them meeting craig and to show that Mick really does want to have a relationship with Shirley but mostly building up to them having reason to meet Craig

I enjoyed today's episode. It felt more like the old EE, with lots of interaction on a more normal level (like Denise and Carmel, Nancy and Elaine, Carmel and Massoud), spiced up with the Ronnie / Roxy / Dean axis

It was a welcome relief from characters back from the dead, who's the daddy lines and an overall feeling of lying and corruption ( started mainly with the Beales but now including the Mitchells)

Masood excluded Syed from the family the first time, not Zainab. She had no idea until years later- she thought Syed had left voluntarily. Also, she immediately forgave him for bankrupting them. And while she exiled Syed, she started to warm to him again relatively quickly (given how homophobic she was) while Masood was pretty steadfast against having him back in the family. She was also the one who welcomed Christian into the family. And immediately forgave Syed for bankrupting them again (cos EE don't like to repeat stories ). She also accepted Afia into the family because Tamwar loved her, despite loathing Yusef and being terrified of him. While I don't want to whitewash her and pretend she was a saint (she could be an awful, cruel person), she's not exactly heartless like either and I find it hard to believe she'd just cut off her family with (apparently) little explanation.

Ronnie's fixation on Roxy's love life is creepy as hell. It'd be different if it was just because she's with Dean, but she acts like this every time.

Carmel & Denise friendship would be nice.
I don't know if you ever watched Hollyoaks but it's like Sienna and her twisted obsession with her twin brother Dodger.

Every storyline consisted of Dodger wanting to leave the village with a new partner (sound familiar?) and Sienna coming up with some twisted scheme to sabotage it (sound familiar?) and destroy his relationships because she had a weird, sexual obsession with him. She even went as far as knocking him out and handcuffing him in a basement and staging a wedding between the two of them.

BIB - Totally agree. I was almost at point of giving up. Sky plus is still set so I've just watched tonight episode for want of something to watch. It was much better. Sadly we'll have the Beales / Mitchells back with the contrived/convoluted criminal goings on before too long.

Salve Sorcha. Good start.

Thanks Sorcha who's forgotten?
Not me !!!!!!!

Bloody hell Sorcha you really need to put some effort into these threads
It was fine !!!!

Billy on the scrouge.

He must have a credit card.
Silly Billy

Donna is so irrelevant and boring.
Is it because she is Little ?

Elaine is the most vile character ever
Not even a contender for the title

Elaine is a disgusting vile spawn of satan.
Silly

Pearl's hair is so cute.
Unlike her moms

Shirley has the face of a demented lab rat.
Post of the thread
Don't tell me. Billy is going to rob blades because he's skint
see below

No. Ronnie is making him do it to try and crush Dean
this

Question about Yusuf, did they ever show his body being carted out the house?
why is everyone saying this is a Zainab character assasination?

when the Masoods first came to the square Syed was exiled from the family.

Syed was again exiled when he. came out as gay so its not really far fetched is it?
Syed was useless piece of work
