21 year old EE secret FINALLY explodes
21 years and the secret Mitchell time bomb has finally exploded
Is this the longest kept secret in soap history? I'm thrilled they're exploring this |

Explodes like a wet fart in a spacesuit. Sorry, being churlish but I think it's such a lame way of doing it.

This should have been done on Peggy's death scenes. It should have been announced then she drops dead in shock.

Pauline is dead. Arthur is dead. Peggy is dead. Grant hasn't been a regular for 17 years. Michelle hasn't been a regular for 21 years. Aside from the fact the impact is going to be minimal to most characters and indeed viewers, Michelle would NEVER have revealed the truth to Peggy having kept the secret for so long.
This storyline is only being done as DTC's finale to satisfy his ego, so he can say he was the man to resolve it. For that reason, it's a dreadful decision. |

I'm really not seeing what the big deal is. Especially when Michelle as a character has been away so long [and won't be coming back for any of this].
It's a literal 'And...?' plot at this point that will change nothing. |

Mark Jr has an uncle in the square, he should have been at Martins wedding and stuck around, saying he wanted to find out who his father was. Michelle writing to Peggy was just absurd. |

This far down the road there are only a few ways to bring it out? People have harped on and on and on about them revisiting this secret and now they have you're all Moaning |

This. Michelle would never had have written to Peggy like that. If DTC had to have had this secret reveled, Mark Jr should have turned up after finding out and the secret come out that way.

Also, I agree with Yoshi Fan that DTC has done some stupid things his way in this programme to satisfy his goddamn ego. Another poster not long ago, said something like this on DS Soap forums before, and I thought, hear, hear, as I am now.

It's like they tried to come up with the most needlessly complex way to reveal it, thinking they were being 'clever'. This is typical of Lamb/DTC - dragging up secrets from the past and giving them an unsatisfactory conclusion. Also, Michelle bloody hated Peggy and would never have written to her to reveal her secret.

It certainly isn't an explosion. 95% of the viewing public's reaction was... "Who?"
