Megathread of Eastenders

What issue are you referring to?

Money issues, managing to support a family and make ends meet. More generally, we all struggle to cope with daily life sometimes and some of us are too scared to ask for help. I think that's what the episode highlighted.

I don't think that does affect 'most' people though. Heather's case is quite extreme and I doubt many people, let alone a majority have been in that situation. As for being too scared to ask for help, don't you believe she should put the needs of her son before her own? I think what makes her lose even more sympathy is that she was offered help in a non-embarassing way (Patrick giving her £20) and she was too stupid to accept it for what it was after wasting some of it within minutes of being given it!

We'll have to agree to disagree then, but I thought it was a realistic story for EastEnders to do and most viewers would be able to relate Heather in a small way. She's a very human character. I don't think viewers would have to be in the exact same situation as Heather in order to relate to her and empathise with her.

I meant being too scared to ask for help with George. She's struggling to cope as a mother. Asking for some support would benefit her son as well as herself.

Its realistic to show some one prepared to steal milk (Shirley) and money (Dot) from two people who have been the most supportive to her. Then to refuse veg from another equally supportive friend (Billy) 2mins later? then show her desperate for food for her child and self, only to give food (chocolates) to some one else first? (Dot)

Maybe people act like that, still doesn't help but make heather the character look very pathetic.

at Patrick using the smallest scissors known to man to cut that ribbon.

I wonder where Kim got the money to do that place up as a B+B, particularly bearing in mind she spent money she didn't have on the party alone! I mean I know it was a b+b before but surely there was still stuff to be done.
And did they (i.e. patrick) actually own the next-door house before as part of the original, old b+b? Cos how could they have afforded that?
Confuuuused !
