I had to skip Monday's Enders - I saw the first five minutes and realised it was gonna be Bradley's wake episode and then saw Zenab's face and...it was all too much for me. Last night's was OK in places, although Zenab giving birth was beyond awful. Christian was (as ever) a delight, although Zenab's over-blown homophobia towards him was badly done. I remember the scene they wrote her in as a bigot, it was totally shoehorned in and didn't tie in with her character at that point at all. It reminds me of when I used to watch Neighbours and Paul turned round to Jim Robinson and said 'hey dad, you've always had an interest in old cars haven't you?' Three days later Jim's vintage car business was up and running.
What religion are the Masoods anyway? I can't work it out - one day they're muslim, the next they're hindu. More great writing.
There was a really nice scene last night where Max was smoking a fag in the portakabin. What's happened to Pat Cabs/Archie's Executive Motors now? Has it gone down the dumper along with rudemasood.co.uk?
Also, I know they're clearing out a few characters at the moment but did they have to do it all in the space of a fortnight? Dotty, Bradley, Josie Lawrence and the boy wonder, trapped in his chair that has four wheels. RIP Dr Alfie as well. What on earth were they thinking with that idiot? Oh well, at least they couldn't afford to staff the scene where he had all his 'mates' from Cornwall up to see him. Oh god, and they're bringing Alfie Moon and that vile c*** Kat Slater back. WHY????? It was always shit when he was in it - and they always had to use some crappy super-imposed moon in the sky most episodes...because his name was Moon, you see. I thought Corrie had a much better faux moon over Joe's icy grave the other night. Klever Kitchens - RIP. (Don't come back though, ta.)
