Sorry im sorry but after all the hype what a complete and utter let down Again.
How predictable was that jeans ex had another family not exactly a huge shock with this person looking for Stacey.
If theres 1 thing DTC will be rememberd for when he eventually leaves is building so much hype and ends up a complete mess.

I think its great, the Slater's are expanding which is great. So we know Kyle is Kyle Slater.

It was obvious from the start Kyle was her brother so unless you are just stupid this was always going to be the outcome.

I will be more interested in seeing how Kyle is developed as character given the huge background story his character has and I'm not just referring to him being Stacey's brother.

I said on the episode thread, I think there's more to it then just that.

Over 20 months we have waited to find out what that key unlocked, and it unlocked nothing. Only for Jean to tell Stacey's father had another family. Is that all?!

Of course it's not all! And I think it's a decent development,

I do want to know how Stacey came by the key in the first place though.

You are so right. We are getting a new Slater family and people are acting like its nothing. They always said Kyle would be the first and others will follow. I just wonder how many kids Bryan had?

I think it was Sean who gave her the key.

Someone obviously got to the safety deposit box before Stacey. Probably her brother Kyle. I am sure we will find out in tomorrow's episode.

I think this is a great twist. With the original Slaters thin on the ground/non-existent, Stacey is quite isolated and needs this boost. I also want Jean back full-time with Ollie.

It shouldn't have taken them 2 years to reveal the secret but I am happy with the outcome.

I was expecting Stacey was adopted and Kyle being her birth sibling.

Does explain why Sean has always been hostile towards Jean though. Can't wait to find out what's to come next

Yes he was wearing the key then. So I guess he's taken out what was inside and found out about Stacey etc existing.

But why give a key to Sean and Stacey and then another Key to the other family?

I also think Kyle took the contents out of the box and then started contacting Jean once found out.

Predictable as hell. I'd rather it of lead to a way to bring Sean or Kat's son in.

Well Sean gave the key to Stacey to look after, but I think he wanted Stacey to find out the truth.

That's what's bugging me about why did Sean have one key, and Kyle the other?. Guess we'll find out, hopefully

Stacey was on a list of people who had access to the safety deposit box, presumably Brian wanted to leave evidence of his double life so he could explain himself and allow his children to connect. I don't actually mind the storyline, it's just they shouldn't have started it over eighteen months ago.

I was expecting Jean to say "Your father hated sausage surprise"

I'm hoping this is going to be like when we found out about Shabnam's baby. Both storylines were hinted very early on.

On the Thursday episode the ending was predictable with Shabnam telling Stacey that she had a daughter, leaving viewers disappointed.
On Friday, the ending was Shabnam revealing that the father was Dean, leaving viewers (or atleast me!) shocked.

Preview of Friday's episode: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/arti...-and-catch-ups

Looks like Kyle is Stacey's brother from another mother

Too much emphasis and time is out on the mystery, so everyone had figured it out before the episode airs. Then when they have aired the secret, the story is dropped in favour of something else. There is no follow through, nothing gets resolved or if they don't resolve it instantly they just repeat the same scenes over and over again and it's been this way since DTC started as EP.

It was completely predictable and so very anti climatic but I'm happy with more Slaters.

The Slaters are a great family and it will be brilliant when Kat eventually returns with her branch of the family and Stacey's new family have settled and then the Slaters can be a real force again

I think DTC is great with coming up with storylines, he just doesn't seem to grasp the fundemental parts of stories, that they must have beginnings, middle and ends. He doesn't realise that it's the little nuances, the characterisation and character growth that helps storylines.

The thing about soaps, is that it's not the big reveal episodes that keeps everyone watching. People watch soaps because they like the characters, if the characters are changed to suit the storylines then they are no longer characters and are merely pawns,

Continuity and history is important, a little artistic licence may be needed but it's important for the viewers that the characters remain true to themselves. Changing their backstory just changes the whole aspect of that character and they no longer function well.

I think Dom needs someone to reign him in, it's just his current production team seem to worship him and don't seem to be standing up to him when it comes to stoRy progression. When Dom gets bored things are changed instantly, regardless of where the storyline was actually heading.

Well that's my take on it Anyway.

Not everyone. If the spoiler was out there I missed it. Obviously I knew the new Transgender character was going to be involved but the actual reveal tonight was a nice one for me. I like long running storylines. It's what continuing dramas like Eastenders need.
