Awful writting for Jay tonight. That was so out of character for him.

Sorry, the links aren't turning blue so you will have to copy and paste the links.
I did like Bex's scenes with Stacey and how they are becoming close. Bex works best with her family.

Me too. I like Bex when she's with Martin or Stacey. They feel like more of a family than when she's with Sonia. Also Stacey doesn't preach at her.

No, nowhere confirms it. The Sun TV mags make it seem like she's pregnant with Kush's baby.

I think he did at the time albeit both characters were played by different actors back then
Thanks for the thread Neil 
Sorry for being late to the party guys and gals
I disagree that it's poor writing in this instance Joe. I have not always enjoyed the story line concerning Jay because it's a bit close to home for me as I've known somebody who had a similar experience and it didn't end well at all.
Jays downward spiral due to being on the register is all too familiar and happens all too often, in my opinion there should be some sort of rating on sexual offences because when you end up on the register it's all over for you as having a normal life is concerned. Jay turned to drugs and dealing due to being unable to get employment which is very realistic in the circumstances. Jay is now a desperate confused man who has turned back into the desperate little boy who lost his father in horrific circumstances. The writing of this story line has actually been on point and very realistic and acted extremely well.

Lauren is not a cow but I can understand your confusion as she does tell J-B to moove out her way on a regular basis

I was just thinking that they could really do a good job with giving Denise a horrible, out of nowhere disease that can befall any of us at any time. God knows the actress has the talent for it, and it would be very well done, I'm certain of it. But nope. Yet another baby. This obsession with baby plots isn't a DTC thing - I think it's just ingrained into EastEnders.
See, an illness plot would take research. Time. Money. But a baby plot, with topless Kush in the middle... nice and cheap. How crap.
Lauren and Steven were up to something as well, I noticed. Hark at Lauren, living with the people who let her father rot. Oh, how I love this character, even now.
I literally will come out and say Ben Mitchell is by far the best thing about the show at the moment. That whole storyline has been brilliant. Well paced, well acted, involving other issues, such as Jay's estrangement, Phil's illness, Grant's return... it's just been very entertaining. Kudos to Harry Reid - I seriously hope this guy is sticking around. And Jay. Go Mitchells, in a nutshell.
Mark Jr (yet another casting from a Next catalogue by the look of it) and Courtney. Ewwwwww. No doubt this is how the whole Grant has a son thing is going to come out.
Average.”

Average ? You must think that all episodes are crap as well

He has nowhere to live so he doesn't mind going to the chokey
Damn. Those were some good scenes between Louise, Ben and Les 
[even if Jay did undo it all in the end].
I was smirking that she and Kush were having really rough sex throughout
, but, ohhh, is she pregnant [somehow]? 
Like how Lauren being a web designer now hasn't been dropped. It would've been very easy in-show to write that she choose to do something else, considering her first clients' grandson got murdered very shortly after she started that pitch....
A great everyday episode I thought.
