priya handcuffing and locking up nish to force him to confess has instantly pushed her into my all time favourites list. i am obsessed

love sonia having a go at everyone in the vic. she's an elite character, i'm sorry if people can't see that

chelsea vs penny is so juicy & petty, i'm so here for it. but i would have loved them as friends too. ee rarely allows female friendships

quite like the toxic masculinity aspect of tommy's story. him idolising phil for how manly & strong he is and rejecting alfie as a dad, punishing kat for it

"you snake" "that's miss snake to you"

oh penny is such a bitch, I LOVE HER

"red flag? have you heard from joey branning lately? what colour flag is sleeping with your own cousin, huh? magenta?" hahaha 😭😭😭

"he's the kindest man i ever met and he'd do anything for me" - cuts to reiss suffocating debbie with a pillow. damn

can't take those scenes too seriously though cause i keep remembering all the memes about debbie's comatose glow 😭

i know everyone hates sonia/reiss but i'm weirdly invested in where this story goes

all the slater kids singing, how cuteeeee

oh well the penny/chelsea friendship didn't last long lmaooo. i love a backstabber though, let's go penny !!

tommy really is a nasty little rat.. sonny kendall is playing it brilliantly though. what a talented young boy!

chelsea & penny are a very fun, very gorgeous duo and i need more of them! they are both so underutilised despite being absolute stars

okay i can't lie i just kinda zoned out during the next two episodes... better luck tomorrow 😭

omg how lovely was that scene with jane & cindy in the kitchen? an actual mature conversation, i love it. cindy asking jane if she's okay, them expressing their condolences for both lucy & steven. i'll cry

that george/ian scene was so good too. the writing in this episode really hits all the notes

lmaoooo everyone pointing out how weird the anna/bobby relationship is if you think about it. peter's brother is dating his sister 😭😭

"things could always get a bit incestuos on albert square" SFGXFGH HELP

and a steven mention !!!!

bobby finding his voice and standing up for himself <3

cindy vs jane is electric. i love that this is so much deeper than any other petty feud. so much history to go over (even if they never met before). two mothers who wanted to do right by their children and failed. jane was protecting her child by "hurting" cindy's. excellent drama & continuation

exactly!! these double standards are annoying me so much

i liked today's mercedes/grace scenes though. obviously a bit meaningless now, since they're already back the enemies. but i always loved them feuding anyway. once again the problem is FREDDIE. i hope grace kills him for revenge but i won't be that lucky

and she already had an abortion last year when ethan got her knocked up, so by soap law that means she'll have this one. although that story was of course only a plot device to paint ethan as a creep and give people a reason to murder him, so who knows. they probably already forgot all about that

her being pregnant though... just fuck off. not the slightest bit of interest in another who's the daddy. that's also 2/4 current teens lumbered with a baby. unless she has an abortion or miscarriage ofc but i'm not sure they'd do that so soon after leela's stillbirth

at this point they could do whatever with her and i'd still stan, even if my only motivation left would be out of spite. i just can't stand how quickly female characters are hated for everything people praise male characters for....

and i don't care what anyone says, i still love vicky. the story isn't exactly good but anya lawrence is magical. and her desperation for older men fits very well into her character profile

even if you can look past the questionable "acting" choices, i don't understand how people are swooning over freddie. he's not overly interesting or even likeable. he treats the women in his life like shit and jumped from one four-timing situation to another. yet they're calling vicky a "slut"...
