Lou was great

30 mins damn 👀 it’s 5 or less now 💪🏻

[@TOTRAVEL-f3c]

Incredible actresses.

[@mattfisher694]

30 minutes for a pregnancy test result...wow how times change. Also why did Michelle always dress like a 60 year old woman? I know it was the 80s and that but even her gran had more flattering clothes than she did lol

[@nanair2007mk]

Matt Fisher people just had to make do in the 80s so it may have been handed down

@@nanair2007mk Only the very poor had to make do in the 80s. Who would hand clothes down to Michelle anyway? Mark?

[@jhibberd6290]

Some of her clothes were fashionable at the time. I had a nightie and dressing gown like that

[@TeresaHutchinson1982]

wow. 30 min wait for a test. must of felt like forever.

How big of a deal was Teenage Pregnancy in the 80's? Asking because i wasn't around then. Did this storyline have a big impact? Thanks!

[@dlk1dlk1]

It was more of a big deal then than it is now. It was one of the major storylines. The father was Den Watts.

[@B-96x]

@dlk1dlk1 Thank you! 😊. I've binge watched the storyline I enjoyed it as a big Eastenders fan but obviously I wasn't around to watch it back then. Thanks for the reply. One of my friends who is older than me had her son in the 80's the year before this storyline, she said she was made to feel ashamed.. but nowadays it seems as if it's not as big a deal... how times change! Den Watts was a brilliant character from what I've seen!

[@ohwell94]

Yikes I remember those tests back in the day It was like a teen science project with all those tubes and such

[@Ray-xh6gb]

Arthur then stole the Christmas club money

[@samanthab1923]

Omg! Vickie is 38 now!

[@melissawright1979]

Wait 30 minutes?! No way! That can't be right surely?! X

[@mp71001]

This was the mid 80s - less advanced technology

[@Jojoseahorse]

That was exactly my first one, born around the same time as this /\. Three messy little test tubes and wait thirty minutes (worth it!). By the time I had my fourth one 11 years later, it was one stick and three minutes :)

[@BelJbraithwaite22]

the tests them days were so long and bad technology it was the mid 80s and the tests now are mostly digital

[@MsRosie37]

They used to do tests at doctor's surgery,then they called you 3 days later with result.

[@dawnfinch8232]

Yes it did take that long i had 2 tests in the early 80s not as advanced as today

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]
