So, Sean is some kind of Merman then? I certainly didn't see that story line coming.

I laughed out loud when he started crawling out from behind the tree. The whole episode was just awful.

How come Zainab and Denise are able to read Jilly Cooper's Riders rather than something like Billy Booper's Gliders but poor Billy, Jay and Janine have to play Highway Auto Thief (HAT) instead of Grand Theft Auto (GTA)?

Also, Lauren and Lucy are allowed to pirate McFly CDs? It should have been McSty or something, shouldn't it?

And another thing, was the bar job interview based on this...

The writing tends to go round in circles in this sort of storyline.
Characters suddenly become all unrealistic and develop memories of goldfish whenever it suits the situation.

Previously, Billy heard the entire back story of Janine who is nothing more than a gold digger at the end of the day. Marrying the Jewish guy for his money, the same thing happened when she married Barry.

Jay's previous track record on this show, the only thing he's ever pinched is a piece of useless tat off the market. His dad died over money, and Jay categorically told Billy that he didn't want any of his dad's money or any money of any sort.

In spite of all of this, the first thing Billy does is accuse Jay. Now I'd have argued he's been at the Vic four months and if Jay had really wanted to take Peggy's card he'd have done it long before now. It's too much of a co-incidence realistically that £1200 comes off the card the day after Janine moves out and everybody's too thick to put two and two together. Very handy plot device, even if it has been done to death and back.

The stuffed cat that's been in pretty much every scene featuring either Billy, Janine or Jay this week turned out to be stuffed with money. That was no great surprise realistically, though it turned out to be one of the better performances across the entire week.

I'd like to know where the stuffed cat came from considering the Jewish family she was marrying into kicked her out with only the clothes she was wearing Confused

and Billy is a bit quick to accuse Jay, who you going to believe, a slightly off the rails teen you've known for a few years and have taken into your care or, as said, a lying cheating scheming gold digger who you've just witnessed trying to con somebody out of a ton of money Confused

soap characters do suffer from bad amnesia

The stuffed cat was left to her in his will. Janine was spitting feathers @ the time but for some reason kept it. Possibly for this storyline Wink You would have thought after her innitial reaction she would have put it out for the landfill.

Discussing the Massage Parlour that has opened up near Albert Square, and recalling her father's tendancy to visit parlours from time to time, Nick Cotton's daughter asks the following question:

Dottie: Grandma, can I have a massage?
Dot: No, certainly not. You're far too young for that.
Dottie: Why? What is it anyway?
Dot: It's for people who are stiff and need a bit of relief (or words to that effect).

Good old June Brown - always good at a double-entendre!
