Yes it was quite zippy tonight wasn't it. I was surprised Mick Dire had gone abroad on a stag do. I was surprised he still has any mates to invite him on said stag do as he never seems to see anyone beyond the family. Have we had any hint as to why Paul's mother left him? And why Pam did a Peggy Mitchell imitation telling her to get outta my 'ouse!!!!! Despite all the activity, still no sign of my longed for Scientologists though.  |

Only Phil has enough money to be a Scientologist.
AFAIK, all we know about Paul's parents is Pam killed his dad in a mercy killing.

Pam mentioned tonight that Paul had been hers since he was one. I wonder if Jenny had post partum depression or somesuch and did a runner when he was tiny.
Bit dismayed that neither Paul nor Pam bothered to explain to Billy about Les. Sexual gratification doesn't come into it.
That thing Jane was propped up against tonight looked mighty uncomfortable. No wonder she wants to skedaddle. As far as I know though they only have a bathroom upstairs. How on earth are they going to get Jane up there? Or will it be blanket washes and bedpans only? Lovely...

So if Ben is going to run the funeral business with Paul, who will be running the Arches? We all know how busy it is (lol) and Phil can't until he's had a liver transplant. 
Does Ian realise all the equipment needed to lift Jane out of her bed and get her showered/bathed? I think the 'spare' bedroom will become very smelly soon. 
Maybe 'millionaire' Jack will give a flat to Lauren and Steven, he also seems now to have a big bag o'cash.  |

Jane's recovery plot is just so far beyond reality I wouldn't know where to start.
Do Paul and Ben realise you can't just set up shop as undertakers? You have to be trained and maybe even certified. I think there was talk of Paul doing the makeup on one 'client'. Is that all the experience they have between them?

I'm not so sure about that, Beth. Many are family firms which survive through word of mouth. I am sure you can get some diploma etc or belong to a professional association, but I don't think you need to pass anything to be one or to set up a business. Of course if you don't and are hopeless, your business will soon fail. I am sure any reputable FD would encourage a new recruit to do some courses..... but this is Walford and I don't think Billy has been encouraged to do anything.

Logically, once Les is safely out of the way, they should just offer Billy his job back, he has the experience they lack. |

They will re-employ Billy, and it can be Bill & Ben Undertakers to the Stars, with Paul being renamed as Flowerpot Man.  |

Since they'll no longer have time to run Phil's car repair business, they can probably save a few quid on business rents by giving up Les's funeral parlour and transferring the undertaking business to Phil's place. They could rename it Underneath the Arches. |

They could rename it Underneath the Arches. With Flanagan and Allen making guest pall-bearer appearances. (I would want Bud to wear his fur overcoat and squashed white Panama. ) |

I didn't think much of Shirley's makeover. I think the women of E20 could all do with a dollop of lipgloss.

According to ITV's Soap Queen, (an impartial lady paid to talk about Soaps who strangely mentions EE less than she used to when she wrote for it)
EastEnders have tried many times over the years to lure Michelle Fowler back but with no success.
I wonder that they haven't recast her. They recast Martin a few times, and Peter and Lucy and Lauren. And Johnny. And Sam, then back again. But Michelle seems immune.
