Eastenders: 22 October 2009

Aah those tricky writers at Eastenders almost had us fooled. Where we thought they were being silly with some of the more unlikely plots, such as Heather musing over the identity of the father of her baby, they were actually writing the script according to how Heather would do it. Yes, ingeniously they decided to have a script based on the imaginings of an imaginary character - or, they have completely gone off the rails and just aren't writing very convincing stories or dialogue. I can't decide which but I think Heather would believe the first argument. 

Elsewhere, Ronnie Mitchell started eyeing up the local hunk, Owen. Yes, he's the one who has just got out of prison for trying to murder his daughter. In other news, Jack was blackmailed by Phil and then humiliated, and it looks like Jack might plot to get his own back in the next week or so as is stated in the soap rules book. 

Coronation Street: 19 October 2009

There were plenty of surprises in last night's Coronation Street with the main one being that there's no restraining order on Joe to stop him from going into the medical centre. Oh yes, Rosie lost what was left of her money to Luke, so he could go dancing, and Carla turned up at Liam's grave but this was to be expected given that her return had been advertised every night for at least two weeks. One question, though: isn't Liam's grave in a different place, or even a different graveyard, since Maria last visited it?
