Does anyone else feel sorry for these two? Poor Billy hasnt been able to cut a break since he joined Eastenders. My heart went out to them when the shop was robbed in the last episode. Can anyone please tell me whats going to happen with them. I so wish they would come into a good bit of money.

They are both a bit daft and pretentious.

No, don't feel sorry for either of them.

Honey is just a ridiculous contrived carbon copy of Little Mo, and Billy is a kid-beating whinger.

Plus, he's a Mitchell. Dead weight - they both should be cut.

I do feel sorry for them. I agree with op, cut them a bit of slack.
No sooner are they back on track, after Janet saga, they get slapped back down again. Would like to see them have a bit of luck.
It wouldn't be for long I know, this is eastenders!

A good point -- are we all meant to have forgotten about what Billy used to do to Jamie?

Yes, but he was, to all intents and purposes, a child abuser. It seems like we're supposed to have forgotten all about it.

Jamie was a child. Billy abused him. Ergo, he was a child abuser. He was also a thoroughly nasty piece of work.

No, that is actually not what happened! Don't you remember how bad it was? I used to be really scared of him [but then, I was only 14 when he came into it].

From Wiki:
The character of Jamie was first introduced around 1998. Jamie arrived in Walford after the death of his father. He was about 16. His second cousin once removed and godfather, Phil Mitchell, took him in after realising Jamie's uncle and caretaker, Billy, used to beat him on a regular basis. Jamie became Phil's surrogate son, replacing Ben, and he stood up to Billy, at one point battering him when Billy tried to beat him up.
From the BBC site:
Jamie was plucked to safety by Phil, after suffering cruelty at Billy Mitchell's hands.

I also agree it was gradual and Billy's behaviour was explained when it was all revealed he also got abused and beaten as a child by that bloke who tried to get close to Dot. I think it was 2000 time or maybe early 2001.

How is Honey like Little Mo in any sense. They slightly look the same but that is it.

Honey is an out going person, who likes to have fun and will stand up for herself.

Little Mo was a quiet, shy and even to an extent nieve. She was mousy and scared to speak up, she gradually developed as a person and is know a strong woman that we saw leave last year.

Honey has never been abused, beaten up and has lived a very sheltered life making her a bit dim. I think Honey is one of the most original characters the show has had in years.

As for Billy, he grew as a person and a character even Jamie forgived Billy before he died, so surley Billy would have forgived himself by this point.

I love Honey and Billy together.
