I am blogging about Eastenders. It begins here.
My boyfriend, though he professes to be a fan, fails to grasp the intricacies of FAMLY on Albert Square. But WHY is Bianca talking to Ronnie about showing the world her baybay? (the baybay’s her cousin). WHY is hard newben so determined to fuck up Glenda (for getting jiggy with his brother, Weasel Beale). And why does Jay want to be a Mitchell again? (your guess is as good as any – perhaps because Mitchell count is a bit low since Peggy strolled off into the sunset/ market).
So, Thursday’s episode was a confusing one for the boy. Everyone wanted to see the baybay, who, of course, is Tommy Moon (Kat’s SON. Charlie’s GRANDSON. The Bionic Woman’s HALF-BROTHER. Tommy doesn’t want Ronnie’s MILK, cos she ain’t his muvva). The famly members, they poured in – Max (would-be uncle), fringey Lauren (would-be cousin), Dot (would-be step-gran), Phil (would-be second cousin), Ricky (would be a woeful uncle). We heard from Roxy that even AMY was desperate to see the mini Moon! That’s right! The forgotten child was just gagging to see her cousiny half-brother.
In fact, Fat Pat was just about the only person who wasn’t interested.
Cos she’s in New Zealand, duh.
