Eastenders: 2 June 2011

Unbelievably, but not surprisingly as this is Eastenders, Zainab has Yusef and Masood vying for her affections and yet she has proven time and again she doesn't have any. At least not consistent ones. One week she loves Syed the next she doesn't. Then she does, then she doesn't. Now it's Masood's turn to beg and it's all getting tiring for the poor viewers especially when we are expected to believe anyone still cares what she thinks. I suppose the situation isn't helped by Yusef who is so conniving only we can see him smirk when he does something terrible.

Coronation Street: 30 May 2011

We'll miss John Stape when he's gone, so now's the time to make the most of him. He's an all rounder - Stan Laurel look-a-like, serial killer, and citer of English literature quotations at, depending on your point of view, the most inopportune or relevant moments. Quoting 'ill met by moonlight' while dumping the corpse of Colin Fishwick is a case in point. Here's hoping he just gets carted off for a while and makes perennial comebacks, but I can't help thinking his time is up and the black cab of doom awaits. If only he could bump of a few others before his departure, such as Becky, Tracey, Tommy and Becky's horrible sister.
