Eastenders

Comments

  • I recently did a placement in mental health as an OT student, I didn't see anything quite as dramatic as eastenders, if it had been then I may have found the placement a bit more exciting!

    I sat watching Eastenders with my bi-polar other half and neither of us recognised the portrayal we saw before us of manic depression :rolleyes:

    In before people get a superiority complex for not watching Eastenders.

    But seriously, Dot died? Whoa....
    Squirrel!

  • I did a little research and as far as I can tell Dot ain't dead. Tonight's emotional display was about 'Stacey' and her mental health.

    Seemingly people who place a little too high a value on TV.

    Considering the amount of Deaths, Murders, affairs, fights, rows and financial losses that happen on that one little square per Year, it's got to be one of the most depressing places to live on Earth, almost as unlucky as that Northern Street in Weatherfield. Its even worse every Christmas for them.

    I cant imagine how much insurance would cost to live in such a place, I don't think I would want to live there ;) It's got to be VERY depressing indeed ;)

    Still, at least nobody swears in those places, even if they hit their thunb with a hammer "....Oh ....Ouch!"
