Eastenders: 1 June 2009

As we all know, this is the second time Nasty Nick has decided to poison his poor old ma, so you'd think he would have found somewhere more discreet to crush the tablets. There he was last night, merrily crushing away in the kitchen while Dot prayed in the living room, and he even had the door open. They may as well have had him sat on Arthur's Seat (the bench in the square), but more believably upstairs out of the way. While we're on the subject, couldn't they have come up with a different way to kill her, just to make it more interesting? The addition of Dottie is supposed to be another turn of the screw, I suppose, but it would have been far better if he'd rigged up the stairlift like he did Ashley's motorbike. Or set a hit man onto her, or poison the pages of her Bible...
