Latest UK Episode Discussion (2006-2017 Seasons)

Noooo how scary!! I actually screamed when we saw her!

I loved the moment today whenMorag tricked Barry and Peter and Jack walked into the room and Barry was like 'oh c***'!!! You could tell that was just what he was thinking!

[Angel_Parrish]

I thought the bit when Jack and Peter came out was the best bit of the episode. What with Morag's hesitation and obvious guilt, and Jack and Peter's somewhat reluctant entry, followed of course by Barry's reaction. The way they did it was really effective.

Was also surprised at Kim's reaction, I thought Chris did a good job tonight. In fact I've liked him a lot more since he started going out with Rachel.

And the return of Zoe = fab! Can't wait for the madness to unfold if it's anything like as good as the stalker storyline was last year.

It was really nice to see Kim stand by his dad after everything they've been through, and I can understand why Irene refused to do the same. After all, Kim's had time to come to terms with what Barry did to Kim's mum, whereas Irene was hit by both murders at the same time. Quite a lot to take in from a man you loved and trusted.

I'll miss Barry

[Oxidizer]

Irene annoyed me immensely earlier/yesterday, she's such a self-centered bitch. All she cares about is herself and looking like a saint.

She screws up her own kids then when she gets old and lonely she adopts every troubled teen in the bay and acts as if she owns them. She should work at a hostel or something.

And the way she treated Barry, that was bloody nasty, he never meant to hurt anyone, even Josh, that was an accident. Why can't she see that? Oh yeah, I forgot, she has to make almost every situation about her!

Bring back Corey to eliminate her please monkeys!

That is a very immature and short sighted response.....and shows a distinct lack of undestanding of the situation and the character. Kim already knew what had happened to his mother..remeber he dd not want to see his Dad for a while after he found out..even though he did not report him.... it took them a while to sort things out. Irene's reaction was real and human...she is using anger to protect herself because she is in incredible pain..people do that ...they lash out and use anger to try and deflect the pain...it wasnt nasty it was real...what Barry did to her could be construed as incredibly selfish...he knew what he had done and that he could be taken away at any time...yet he involves her in making a commitment which he knows that he for one might not be able to honour...that was immensely cruel....no wonder she is angry.

And as for Irene making things about her...for heavens sake,..Irene has to be one of the most unselfish characters on the show.

[JennyWren]

I agree with Frankie. I can't belive how narrow minded and shortsighted people are being. I can ony assume that they have very limited life experience and have never experienced real deep seated emotional pain. I think there views will changeas they see how the story develops in the coming weeks.

I thought Morag, Barry and Irene were all absolutely brilliant last night. Even Kim was good.

[Robina Fox]

I agree Irene's anger was realistic, but I did think she might have given Barry a chance to explain. She should know things are rarely black and white. Apart from that, it seems unlike her not to confront him. Though if she had, I doubt he would have got a word in edgewise!

Barry probably expected to avoid detection, as with his wife's death, and after all, he was not even on the police radar. So it was not really "cruel" of him to start again with Irene. Both "murders" were so understandable - I hope he is shown leniency.

I felt sorry for Morag; as it turns out she should obviously have talked to Barry before involving the police. After recent events though, I understand why she didn't. Funny, while they were talking, I thought "This is rash of her", but I still didn't suspect the truth! The timing of that scene was perfect.

[TabbyCool]

Poor Barry! Poor Irene! It's all so sad

I felt so sorry for Barry, he genuinely regrets what happened and the only reason he didn't come forward was to protect Kim, which is totally understandable. What parent in their right mind would jeopardise the safety or freedom of their own child? (apart from Dan and Amanda!) I can really see why Barry didn't tell anyone, he never meant to kill Josh, he didn't even want to fight with him, it was stupid Josh who got the gun out in the first place! I really feel for Irene, she was reluctant, but she let herself fall for Barry again, just to have her feelings trampled on and her heart broken again

I'm probably the only person who will say this at the moment, but I just can't get excited about Zoe/Eve coming back. I found the stalker storyline to be interesting at first, but then it all got a bit tedious after a while. Now I'm dreading a repeat performance, the first time bored me, so I'm not expecting too much this time round.

What gets me is... why do the police still refer to Eve as Zoe McAllister? That just seems a bit desrespectful to the real Zoe, who was killed by Eve! They know her real identity, so why continue to call her by a dead woman's name?

[Reo]

I never really got why people in the soap still called her Zoe,but i prefer calling her Zoe as thats just the name i think of when i see her picture or someone talks about her,even if they say Eve.

Im not that interested in the Zoe storyline at the moment,i think when she starts doing things rather than all talk by Peter and Jack then i will be interested.

What i want to know is how did Josh know that Martha had a gun,Why did he bother with it,How did he get it and why.

He could get a gun from anywhere if he wanted one..

Another thing is Bob,we know it wasnt Barry,so what happened to him.

I think those kinds of things that dont make sense spoil the storyline,i think the reason they used martha's gun was so that Peter would question her and we would have Martha on the list of people who we thought did it,but by doing that they havent answered the other questions about Josh knowing about it.

[TabbyCool]

Yeah, I wondered why Josh had Martha's gun! I can't think why he would steal it when he had contacts everywhere, he could have easily got a gun without having to steal one from Martha's car!
