Yeah, hysterical, wasn't it?

Wouldn't we all find it funny if it was done to us.

So one day if a couple of your friends or colleagues show your dirty knickers in public and people sit around laughing, I expect you to find it equally "funny" and enjoy the banter.

Danniella is a pro at turning on the tears. She's the ultimate professional victim.

According to her, her kids beg her not to cry on TV as they say she looks ugly Clearly they i) attended the same charm school as their mother and ii) out of the mouths of babes and all that.

Sorry but in the real world if people were living together communally they'd laugh about something like that or get mad.

I mean it used to annoy the shit out of me when the girls I shared apartments with would clog the shower drain with their long ass hair. Thankfully I never found anything as gross as what Steph left lying around.

If I had left dirty underwear about to be found I would be more upset and embarrassed with myself to be honest and might expect people would laugh. They did overreact, but why leave them around, it's not fair on the people you are living with.

IMO she wasn't a bully because she/they hadn't chosen an individual to target. She played along with the suggestion that vaginal discharge is something to be mocked for though, and along with the others she was integral to Stephanie feeling embarrassed and self-conscious. The problem was that although she didn't like being called a B-word she realized that what she had done was wrong (she empathised, finally) so it was difficult to exonerate herself in the DR. I think she'd have found it less emotionally upsetting to be accused of something that she really did do, because she could just admit to it and move on, but with the Stephanie situation things were less clear. She cried because she realized that it probably did look like bullying.

I agree with all of that but that still doesn't change the fact that the knicker gate thing was disgusting and bullying behaviour. Steph is a horrible little madam but no one deserves that

Proves that Eastenders is probably realistic when it comes to the aggressive, miserable, whinging characters in it!

Daniella and Gemma are both bullies and they know it! That's why they are both so defensive when the term is used! I despise the mob outside the house on eviction nights but on this occasion, i hope that when these to come out, the chants change to "BULLY, BULLY, BULLY!"

So what was your views when Steph called Gemma a fat smelly c**t in the dairy room last week?

Gemma and Danielle don't like Steph, so they bitched and took pleasure in magnifying her embarrassment caused by the situation created by others, including steph's part in it. It's not bullying taken in isolation.

Steph left her dirty knickers somewhere in a communal house, the men put it on public display out of disgust, and the women who don't like Steph piled on to increase her embarrassment as they knew it would be hers. It is very embarrassing. The men obviously weren't thinking, and the women who don't like Steph took advantage. But it wasn't bullying, in isolation. It's just one human being not liking another. If it becomes a sustained pattern of behaviour where they're picking on her despite knowing it's causing distress and is against her free will, then it becomes bullying.

They are both a pair of nasty bullies, they cant take it they walked out the door like two minging twerps.

I cried once at work because some twonk that I unfortunately had to work with called me a bully just because I refused to talk to her unless it was work related. She actually went and told my line manager that I was bullying her and I was told they'd have to investigate it.

I can't believe I cried but it just felt like the worst thing anyone had ever said about me as I am a strong character yes but not a bully and that is why I got so angry when Steph was calling them all bullies. It is something that has such a stigma attached to it and once labelled it is hard to get rid of it especially if it is incorrectly labelled. Luckily my other colleagues defended me and filled them in on her behaviour and she later was sacked.

Danniella is just misery personified. She and Gemma both were pathetic on their respective series of IAC, and they're both pathetic on this.

she needs to suck it up and grow up. people call others bullies all the time without bucketing it down in water works. shes attention seeking and hopefully it should backfire on her
