Episode discussion for week starting 27 August
Abi returns to Albert Square to a nasty surprise... Will she give Jay a chance to explain?
Who do you think can offer Jay the support he needs? Are you Team Abi or Team Lola?
Meanwhile, a fight breaks out in the Vic. Will Syed live to regret his attempt to rescue his dad from Derek's clutches?
Anthony and Alice grow close... Are this pair a perfect match? And as the other men in Alice's life move in to protect her, are they doing what family should do? Or should they back out and let her live her own life?

Plus no offense to the writers but they portray her as a bit of slag. No offense to anyone if you can relate. But if Jay goes with lola its going to send a message saying this is how you need to act and dress to get a guy having a tag, wearing short tops and shorts having a baby. Whereas Abi has a bit of class she got a decent life the writers should have Jay and Abi talk things through. Like have him say "after it happened phill came to us and told us what to do said were a family and we had to follow orders and that the mitchells was only my family since my dad died i didnt want to chuck all that away" Abi is kind and caring girl she'll eventually see that Jay has been punished enough.

Lola is a not a good example to young viewers especially now she has had a baby with no job prospect or dad around for Lexie. Lola has had a rough start in life but so is Jay and he deserve better than Lola. He shouldnt be the one responsible for the child of a murderer as I strongly believe Ben is Lexie's dad. All you Lola and Jay fan, do you actually think poor Jay can live with that?

At 29th Aug 2012, Heather Trott wrote:(So agree with "blog123" re. Tuesday's episode. So silly the Jack/Sharon storyline!) Anyway, Team Lola! Jay is better suited for Lola, although Abi is much more "together" and mature, but it's too much of a mismatch and will all end in tears.

Abi is rather innocent and pampered... which I appreciate annoys some people, and they prefer gritty and street-smart Lola. In the clothes she's been wearing lately, Abi reminds me of a sunny Carebear... and I think that Jay needs something sweet and cuddly after everything he's been through. Abi has prospects, a good family (well sort-of!) and a chance for Jay to enjoy a normal life. I like Lola, but she constantly breaks the law and gets herself in trouble and got herself pregnant. I just think Jay needs some stability right now; and I'd rather see him make a go of things with Abi :) Lola is a great friend for Jay; that's the way I'd like her to stay!

How is Jay getting with Lola, who is always getting in trouble and has a young baby going to be good for Jay? Jay is too young and too damaged to be in a relationship with a parent, let alone an irresponsible underage one.
Also I think that Abi, to be fair, is only acting the way she is because she only just found out and is in shock and because her parents told her and probably exaggurated the story...

Abi should face her bright future for now and make something meaningful out of it.
Thursday`s episode is pathetic and annoying, why do they portray Anthony as an idiot
and moron who cannot think or decide by himself except Joey and Derek who he knew are his enemy to do it for him. Look at the way he was reduced to nothing to the extent of gambling with his family business against his wish, even Joey, with what he`s doing with Lucy and rude to Ian, all these to Anthony`s knowledge and he still take orders and advice from him? Anthony is not that imbecile or daft,even he was to go and explain to Alice but again was advised against it by Joey and he bought it and even asked Joey to tell Alice he was sorry and went away from the square just like that, I hate this part of the episode it is pathetic and unreal

Anthony was painted as being a brainless daft idiot in his departing scene, and he is far smarter (and a better actor) than some of the other young actors on the show. Shame he was not given a chance to prove it with stronger story lines because he can act.

Abi and Jay are perfect for eachother!! abi brings the best out of jay and wen he's around her he is kind and caring and sweet to her!! after what happened to jay when he was younger he was out of control.. abi gave him stability and happiness...
I think Lola is using jay so when they are a couple lexi will have a dad. she just wants him cuz abi is with him and he's hot! i hate lola she is a slut and she ruined jay and abis relationship. if she really were abi's mate she wouldnt have kissed jay!! TEAM ABI!!!

At least Abi is trying to make thing sbetter between them. She even got him a present, and he was one of the first people she began looking for when she came back. More than Lola. And Jay will be heartbroken if he finds out that Ben is Lexi's dad... so, Team Abi x 10,000,000!

Abi just shades it but I do doubt that Abi will be on Jay's side as she can be too judgmental but she fits Jay better
