Episode discussion for week starting 19 September
The Square's awash with secrets and lies this week. Comment on the week's drama, or forever hold your peace...
Tanya confides in Lauren, but how will Lauren deal with this heart-stopping news? And will she be able to keep her mother's secret?

Yusef's manipulation of Zainab takes a sinister turn. Has he gone too far this time?

Meanwhile, Lauren's got more worries as news breaks of her canoodle with Darren. Should he come clean or cover up? And if Jodie gets wind of it, what revenge should take on her love-rival? Dye all of her clothes pink?

A sparring match goes a bit further than Ben expected. Is this the start of a knock-out relationship?

on Monday Mandy starts to strip for the stag do, Alfie says: "That's enough fellas. It ain't that kind of pub fellas. Mrs Moon would not be happy" BUT MRS MOON HIRED A MALE STRIPPER TO COME INTO THE PUB FOR HER HEN DO LESS THAN A YEAR AGO!! HHHMMM. Why is EE always negative about female strippers but positive about male strippers?

loved the one liner that came from faith the other day "you might be looking at the booty, but the booty ain't looking at you."
ee is on great form at the mo and the writing is very good, excellent scripts and praise also to mr kirkwood.

She got told she had dyskariosis (prob spelt wrong!) after smear test and therefore she had cancer. Rubbish!! I had severe dyskariosis - the 'highest' level - CN3 - I didnt have cancer!! It is just the presence of pre-cancerous cells - which is NOT cancer - just cells that is left have the potential to become cancerous in the future. I had the cells removed (simple quick procedure done within half an hour) and was fine.
Why didnt the bbc do some research before writing this? They are representing this 'disease' incorrectly.

I would love to take part in the branning family! I love them! I feel so sorry for Tanya at the moment,every episode with her on has me in absolute tears! I've only just stopped now from 1 hour ago when she told lauren that her tumours spread,I hope she doesn't get worse or die in it because I will be so heartbroken! Jo joyner is amazing playing tanya and is my favourite character,such an inspiration and such a brave woman acting out this horrific story line! I would LOVE to meet Jo Joyner sometime in my life and the rest of the cast,I would be just overwhelmed,if someone could tell me how I audition or how I could get a part in Eastenders the branning family,that would be great! Lots of love+i love Eastenders X x
