That was a very poor episode I was really looking forward to it. Why would Tracey do all of that if she loved Rob. Why would she embarrass people she loved like that for no gain?

Nick doing all of that in front of the guests - was odd too. I found it all a bit uncomfortable to watch as it felt totally unrealistic.

I know it's a soap and not meant to be real - but it was very 'sunset beach'.

Tracy being allowed to spout her poison without getting a good kicking in return; that was certainly unrealistic.

Jenny Bradley dancing to Colonel Abrams 'Trapped' more than made up for it!

I think that will probably be my highlight of the week!

Jenny has been the best part about the whole week. I have loved her little scenes in the factory

Long may the brilliant Jenny Bradley continue! I really want to see her and Kevin back together. He is just not suited to dreary Anna Windyarse.

Agreed, she was terrific, the rest was an embarrassing farce.

Jenny Bradley was good.

The rest was unbelievablly disappointing.

The petulant child rabbited on and on, she was so boring.

Tracey reacts without thinking. She's been locked in a cupboard for an hour or two and wants revenge. As always, it's Carla's fault and never her own, despite Carla having no idea she was locked in the factory.

In fairness Robert deserves to be embarrassed and Nick is supposed to act odd now, so I think that was the point.

Most unrealistic part? David threatening Robert

Erm, sorry - what people does she love? I do agree with you though, it was toe-curlingly bad. No one got up and left out of sheer embarrassment (I would have), no one made any real attempt to pull Tracy out, they all just sat there gaping. From start to finish it was as bad as anything they've done in recent months.

I agree, and I don't even like the character!

It has been abysmally bad all this "special" week. The wedding disaster soap cliche' to end them all (we can only hope!). It's the worst soap week since the Emmerdale helicopter "disaster"

Have always loved that song James and last night was no exception to my enjoyment.

That said, the story is ludicrous beyond belief. Just think that the actors read the scripts, sigh and then say ' If they're paying me, I'll do it.. '....Who can blame them?

The most unrealistic part was that everyone WASN'T recording it all on their phones.

Can't even take Carla seriously any more either. She used to have balls. She was never a snivelling wreck who would let Tracy control her like that. The character is the total opposite to who we know and love!

Did they actually get married or not? The vicar never actually pronounced them man and wife.
IRL If anybody raises an objection the vicar cannot go ahead with the wedding and it has to be rescheduled if it can be proven not to apply even if it's someone shouting "he's got two legs". I'm not sure if that extends to some walking in and disrupting the wedding.

On the week running up to the Soap Awards, you'd think they'd at least try to pull out all the stops, but this week so far has been pure boredom.

The show has never been in such a bad state.

Sounds woeful. Might try and catch up on it today.
