Something so amazing seeing them act together.
Steve McFadden and June Brown
Loved it, great scenes with the two of them.
Dot in the launderette will be a much-missed staple of EE ... though I think it's right that it's going.

How is Dot homophobic?
Yeah brilliant stuff. Arguably the two best actors in the show. And some of Dot's lines tonight were wince-inducingly good. 'Peggy was a bit of a coward, really.' 'Jim was more of a man than you.' All delivered so deadpan too.
I agree they should share more scenes together. It's often quite special when they do.

You do understand that the 80's were a completely different time, and sometimes religious people just need time for reality to dawn on them

And she and her husband threw Pauline's husband out of a window.

I am gay, I have no issue with Dot, she is merely of a different generation and Christian to boot. My mother is 80 and Christian. She had similar views to Dot and I was nervous about coming out. It's amazing what happens though when you come out to somebody like that and their stance softens, and for somebody her age my mother is one of gay people's biggest defenders and when she was in a restaurant with my sister and heard a man being homophobic on the next table she smacked him hard with her walking stick, saying that though, she still professes not to fully understand why a man would want to lie with another man. It doesn't make her a bad person, it means she has grown up having been almost brainwashed by people of a certain religion without having the intelligence to question things.
We should not judge the older generation who grew up being told we were evil, and homosexuality was illegal, they were brainwashed and it was state sponsored as well.
Thanks

Well said. My nan was exactly the same, she didn't really understand homosexuality but she did accept it. If anyone hurt anyone in my family they would know about it. She disproved of a lot of things she didn't understand, her childhood was completely different to mine in that her parents would never talk about anything. My relationship with my parents is a lot more healthier.
