A wedding and nothing happend? No explosion, fire, a killer? Only a happy wedding? Wow.
![]() Loads of characters, loads of emotion - Lee was brilliantly sad and Whitney being so happy is just going to cause greater heartache later. These are characters we can now care about which barely happened under DTC. |

Are Lee's army mates new characters? they have been given a lot of focus for no real reason. The blonde one is kinda fit but Beanbag is a douche.
I would have Moose return but Beanbag can go

I really enjoy Whitney's association with the Carters and I love her and Lee together which makes me thrilled that her and Lee are married now and she is officially Whitney Carter
but I wish Lee has been honest to her about his financial problems, his ongoing depression and pretending to go to work (not confirmed he lost his job but it's looking that way). Whitney is a strong and compassionate woman and she'll be outraged if Lee told her the truth before the wedding but I'm certain she would still marry him. My heart broke for Lee when he pretended to fall asleep but the sad reality is his depression is still ongoing and there's no cure and he is battling all sort of emotions. Danny Boy is playing a blinder in this story and I'm saddened he'll be departing the show soon. Shirley and Lady Di have a beautiful relationship but the Carters should know better that the churches don't normally accept pets inside the building. It was great to see Ryan back and kudos to him for causing a distraction to Lee's wedding speech. Shona looked stunning tonight and I hope they have major plans for her alter-ego when Lee exits the show. Nice to see Kathy and Sharon behind the bar but I loved their snarky comments. I miss their friendship but I presume they will remain frenemies and Kathy has Sharon's number and is watching her like a hawk. I said this before and I'll say it again but it's joyous to see the resurrection of old-style Kathy and I'm pleased she is acting like Ben's mother and he needs to cut her a bit of slack. We, the audience, knows Phil loves Ben but he has a funny way of showing it but I'm pleased to get a break from him tonight. He ruins all characters associated with him and I wish they had the balls to kill off Phil but sadly can never see it happening ![]() Mick's reaction to Linda's horrific singing was the highlight of tonight's episode ![]() 8/10

I like the way they did that. Lee was on the outside looking in and at no time did he feel part of it. You'd expect his face to light up at the sight of his bride but he felt nothing. He couldn't make a gushing speech because all he could think is that he doesn't deserve her and doesn't deserve happiness. He couldn't even touch her or make love to her. He was there but not there. It was really well done and illustrated how detached someone with depression can feel from the world and all 'normal' emotions.
On the lighter side I loved Shirley and Lady Di and the wedding cake stayed in one piece.😁 And didn't Stacey and Tiffany look lovely. |

I assume Linda Henry was still on holiday when the registry office and Square exterior scenes of this episode were filmed.
The bin lorry scene seemed like the punchline of the World's longest joke build up. |

Poor Whit, she always just misses out on the chance of happiness
And poor Lee as well, he just looked so defeated the entire episode. I want him to stay and for them to make it through. On a lighter note, did anyone else notice - Wham! , Dexy Midnight Runners and Bryan Adams? Did everyone walk through the Vic's doors and into 1985?

Poor Whitney
I just can't sympathise with Lee, to me he comes across as a self pitying moody manchild, I just don"t believe in his depression sl. Jay and Ben, I love their emotional scenes. |

At least they are trying to excuse Bianca's absence. Its been a good touch getting Tiff and Morgan back in.

Lovely scene between Johnny and Lee.

That scene was so much better. Why do they write Johnny so bloody inconsistently?
Quote:
I'd rather they both stayed, think they've been a bit hasty with some of the axings.
Quote:
Sometimes Lee and Johnny look at each other like they're slightly in love and it really confuses me.

I haven't been enjoying the show too much lately in general (Bingate, Kim's driving test etc, etc), and I was worried about a sentimental wedding episode. However, Danny Boy Hatchard was brilliant tonight...and has been great over the last few weeks. Lee was quite a dull character for a long time, and his depression storyline didn't seem to be going anywhere. This episode really conveyed the hideous reality of depression (I have suffered from it) and how debilitating it can be. It's actually a shame that Lee is leaving as he has become a much more complex, interesting character lately who really brings something to the show.
