EastEnders - Lily Slater Discovers The Truth Of Jean’s Actions (2nd May 2022)

I own none of this, All right goes to BBC Studios.

Stacey's decision is influenced by her own upbringing where she was left picking the pieces, living with her mothers bipolar from a young age only for her to inherit the condition in her adulthood. I also get that Stacey wants to preserve her daughter's childhood but Lily's bright enough and old enough to understand the situation.

I actually don’t mind the spiteful edge they tagged onto Jean at this point in the episodic game as it dots (albeit in a very watered-down form) with Stacey’s childhood and 2004/2005 Jean. Jean taunting Lily about having passed on the illness to her and telling her that one day she’ll end up like her (Lily should really be named Rose, but that’s neither here nor there) isn’t unrealistic. It’s not very nice for the kid who’s on the receiving end of it but that’s the reality of the illness. It makes people say things and taunt the people in their surroundings. Especially if there’s familial ground shared. I’m not surprised Lily ended up overdosing on lithium. That’s precisely what Jean’s actions drove her to and an 11-year-old girl who’s unlike someone like Stacey (in the sense of having the illness on her doorstep 24/7 and having to look after “freaky Jean”) wouldn’t have realistically-acted in any other way. Most kids would be tempted to try insulin if their severely-diabetic parents (as an example) told them that they’d be like them one day. And most kids would probably rather try their hand at a dab of insulin than dip Harribos and chocolate-y goodies from their diet.

Stacy when you are parents it’s not all about what you want as her dad Martin has a right to talk to his daughter just like she does. Come on writers please come up with better storylines

Martin is not her Dad ffs, Ryan is her Dad

@@kayleigh35 he's not her dad though. Legally he's not and tbh he's a terrible influence. At least Stacy is trying

@@awesomesauce2000 and you think Ryan has the right to be called her dad? She hasn't seen him for years and takes no notice of her existence. Martin is much more of a dad than he will ever be

@@mrdr0161 I didn't say that did I? I martin has a long history of violence and Stacy is finally on the right track being a good parent. Lily should be with her.

Hilarious show, most unrealistic thing to 2022 London

Lilly’s first main duff duff (any as a baby don’t count)

[@danielhindson1840]

They need to start using more of the young cast Lily, Amy, Ricky, Lexi, Tommy, Bailey, Scarlett, Will, Janet and as far as I remember Lily and Amy haven't interacted once on screen and where has Lexi gone I feel like she hasn't been seen in ages
