Shame he can't work on those acting muscles.

 

It was pretty dire too but then I was cringing at Lorraine Stanley in those scenes too. She’s generally great but she always seems so OTT if they’re discussing Mitchells and it takes me out of the moment.

Lorraine gets a lot of criticism for her acting and I do sometimes agree that she tends to play it a little over the top in dramatic scenes, but I still find her very believable as a protective mother desperate for her son to stay out of harms way. I usually have more of a problem with the writing for her in some of the comedy scenes than I do her acting.

 

Danny Walters is fine in every day scenes but he struggles in anything that requires any sort of drama or emotion. It's a shame as I thought he brought lots of humanity to the Sheanu affair last year but, since he returned earlier in the year and became joined to the hip of the Mitchell family, he's totally lost that spark. I hope it can return when the affair inevitably continues otherwise he really is going to be the weak link in the big reveal.

Lorraine Stanley really works as an actress for me and i find her delivery of scenes believable whether its the serious or more intense scenes.

Danny Walters gets alot of hate and while not be the strongest actor he is passable.

 

Can we have DCI Marsden back please?

I just can’t with a Mick health storyline. He is impossible to feel sorry for, always doing favours he doesn’t need to do and then moaning about it.

 

Sharon needs to buy herself a shredder, it would make life so much easier.

A shredder or a fire would save sharon alot of grief!

I love that for once they had someone tear up the incriminating evidence, but then she didn’t even check to see if she’d done it properly!

Mick and Linda are written as such pathetic characters.

 

On the other hand, I was enjoying some of the new friendships like Whitney/Chantelle and Bobby/Iqra.

She should have gone to the trusted barrel at the allotment that people use to burn incriminating evidence or, even better, the canal where Linda dumped the gun Stuart used to shoot himself with (that never did get discovered, did it?).

I saw that RIDICULOUS Sharon thing of her k.oing Karen. AS IF. And her k.oing a hard drug dealer man?! FOOK THAT!! What a load of ol SHET! EE pushes believability more than Star Trek! They always do this with the producers' faves

Are you still harping in about that? You’re OBSESSED.

Because it BREAKS BELIEVABILITY SO MUCH!! SO MUCH!!! that I can't believe ANY of it!

She might as well just k.o impossible to k.o Phill while she's at it.

Y’all need to see this Twitter thread, you’re welcome

^ I love that account! :')

 

Also, as iconic as "bubbly's in the fridge" is, Vanessa's best moment for me slapping Tanya into the next millennium. Some say you can still hear that slap echoing in some parts of London:

The Max/Tanya affair was pretty shit but omg did Zöe Lucker make the reveal worth-watching.

Even though you were supposed to be rooting for Max and Tanya, everyone was clearly team Vanessa because Zoe Lucker just brought it.

 

Didn’t Max marry Kirsty like the day after all that?

Sooo obvious the producers fancy Max and think he'd be irresistible to women!!!

Vanessa was Brill in those scenes, i really wish zoe stayed with the show for much longer.

Stanning Iqra so much right now.

 

Love Stuart and Rainie.

 

Bored to tears any time Mick and Linda are on screen.

Agreed. They are abysmal.

 

Irqa and Shabiba are no Ronnie and Roxie. They should neever have been axed! The Mitchells came into a gangster family ... plus Sharon. Irqa came into ... Masood's boring one and he left anyway :nocheer: They'd have worked much better with the full family around.

 

Also why is Keanu so SHIT?? Worst actor on the show, and tht is one looow low bar!
