if the two characters can hardly believe how are we meant to engage.

absolutely rubbish plot and a rubbish reveal. Most certainly not to ED's normal standards

No its from Dynasty. The guy who plays their dad was the Prince of Moldavia.

I read in the TV Magazine that you get with the newspaper that It was Amy Walsh's and Michelle's Hardwick's idea for them to be sisters and they pitched it to the storyling team.

That's one I actually know! In another thread recently someone said he was Robin Hood and I said that to me he was the Prince of Moldavia. That wedding scene was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! I know it was a massacre so not supposed to be funny but it was so over the top, I couldn't help laughing

That wedding scene was terrible and deserved to be laughed at. They made it look like everyone was dead but only two minor characters died. I can see why they consider that Dynasty's jumping the shark moment.

then it just shows that actors fan fiction is appalling and they should stick to their trade and leave the storyliners/writers to do the ideas

It was never going to be a massive reveal, a lot of viewers already guessed a year ago that this would happen.

For what it was and considering who was involved I thought it was pretty good.

I wouldn't mind, they have worked the story quite well but Tracy isn't that nice and they are currently making Vanessa an absolute nightmare, she is hateful, so basically who cares.

Robin of Sherwood will be fun though, I put £50 on him ending up with Leyla.

Oh please, it was good, yes it was contrived but I found it funny. I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops and with Frank

It was good up until the fight scene where Tracy grabbed forks or something and they started play fighting with cutlery. It was like watching the bad comedy in Corrie!

Dreadful storyline, I don't like Vanessa but I feel sorry for her being lumbered with that cheap tart for a sister, and more screen time for Trashy Toxic Tracy is the last thing I want. Can't stand the scrounging parasitic rinser. always feel like I need a bath after she appears, she looks like and gives the impression that she's got more ailments than the local clap clinic. Her bloody voice goes through me like a dose of salts too.

Self-preservation for Amy Walsh's character then at least-she probably jumped at the storyline idea to justify keeping her in ED.

But why have they turned Vanessa into a violent bully to Tracey all of a sudden? She's acting so out of character. It's rather pathetic.

To me it just seems to be a rather poor attempt to make us sympathise with the Tracy character. Vanessa taking an objection in the way she did was totally out of character, and it was rather strange anyway why she would be so irked by Tracy. I also find it rather amusing when Leyla was talking about Tracy being after David's money, he's hardly a millionaire.

Exactly and Leyla has conveniently forgotten that she dumped David then ran away with all his money, leaving him with a massive debt to pay.

Vanessa has definitely had a character transplant
