[@VultureClone]

Ian pushes people around. "This is fine." Ian gets pushed around. "Oh poor me! Why is everyone so mean to me!?"

[@laminage]

Yes and in their own way, The Slaters will get their payback when they lose their Home. Big Mo didn't tell them about the "Eviction" Letters. So many folks living in that House yet they couldn't keep up with the payments. How in God's name did that happen. Also, is Alfie coming back? I live in Canada and we are Five Months behind.

When you are desperate you'll believe anything. Also think of poor Jean Slater giving those Loan Sharks Money to prevent Kat and Big Mo from being beaten for doing The Catfish Scheme. You knew they came to collect when they smashed The Back Door Open.

Here's some fun facts. When the Taylors arrived on June 15 2017, t was on Nadine Coyle's Birthday(Ex Girls Aloud). Sadly enough it was also the day in 1963 when Civil Rights Worker Medgar Evers funeral took place. Dr. King attended and Five YearsLater he got assassinated. Megan Markle & Prince Harry got married on Malcom X's Birthday, Megan Markle shares a Birthday with President Obama as well as Us Soap Actress Crystal Chappel. Sadly enough it was also the day Anne Frank got arrested as well as the other Seven Folks.

What about "Money" by Barrett Strong that's been covered by The Beatles, The Flying Lizards, and even The Late Marvin Gaye & Tina Turner on Shindig in the 1960's. Or Money by Pink Floyd or "For The Love Of Money" by The O'Jays that was featured on The Apprentice (US) before Donald Trump became President which was written by Kenny Gamble/Leon Huff that helped epitomize The Philly Soul Sound still popular in The UK.

When I was a kid in 1979 I remember John Altman (Ex Nick) playing Young George Harrison in Birth Of The Beatles. Dick Clark the Host of American Bandstand did the movie and got sued by the Beatles for 100 Million Dollars for doing an unauthorized movie where they felt many parts were inaccurate most notably "sacking" Pete Best. In 1995 the "truth" finally came out so to speak about what really happened in The Beatles Anthology. There are always two sides to every story.

So much has happened since then. Kacey Ainsworth is now on Granchester whose daughter is played by Simone Lahbib's Daughter Skye. Jessie Wallace is on "leave" from the show to deal with her own issues ie possible alcohol addiction, and Charlie gets violent with Ian. Now The Slaters may lose their Crib due to bad financial problems. Isn't it amazing how now Jenna Louise Coleman and Suranne Jones are gaining cult status as Victoria and Gentleman Jack.

And even though Ian often pisses others off, and can be a bit of a dick and a right git sometimes, and Ian sometimes brings it on himself, Ian doesn’t half get bullied physically and mentally a lot by others in the square, and he’s always getting punched, assaulted, physically violated or publicly humiliated.
