Not a dry eye in the house...
But, it wasn't all tears and heartbreak tonight, I had a big smile on my face at the return of ex-junkie Stevie! He got a wee certificate for being 6 months clean, much to Eileen's annoyance! But even Eileen was charmed by Stevie in the end and she's let him kip in the spare room! Hoorah! Stevie is determined to make a new start for himself, he's got himself clean and is starting up his own handyman business. In amongst getting certificates, fixing showers and charming everyone, he even had time to make teenagers Christina and Nicole swoon - looks like both girls might have crush on him! But this is Shieldinch and no one is allowed an easy ride of it, so on cue Dastardly Dave has shown up to try and lure Stevie to the dark side!
Dastardly Dave is a wannabe associate of Lenny but Mighty Murdoch wasn't impressed with how Dave handled himself so he told him to get lost. I don't blame Lenny, this bloke is a bit freaky! He was cutting about Montego Street scaring young boys, aggressively chatting up Kelly-Marie and worst of all he stole 10p from some dude playing a puggy - what a scumbag!!! He's also forced Stevie into hiding a gun for him - boo hiss! Stevie is trying to go straight, so what will he do?! Tune in next week to find out!
Quote of the Week
Raymond (to Stevie about Eileen): "You've won over the ice queen...that is an achievement."

I'm all for storylines that tug at the heartstrings and try to raise an often taboo subject, such as the current one on miscarriage and its effects on families. But please, please, please do not start becoming EastEnders where there are no laughs, everyone is miserable and each episode seems to end with the dreaded voiceover:"if you've been affected by any of the issues...."
I couldn't bear it if all we get are 'issues' on a show that has succeeded in avoiding them so far. OK, rant over.
On a slightly less serious note, I was delighted to see Stevie get best recovering addict award at Aileen's award ceremony. Did anyone else notice that Aileen had a stack of awards ready to hand out but at the post-Awards bash at the Ship, the only winner present seemed to be Stevie which made me wonder if the young lad had, Oscars style, made a complete sweep of all the awards available. Best supporting recovering addict: Stevie. Best newcomer: Stevie etc etc.
Bet that cheesed off the new doc who must have thought he was a shoo-in in the Best Hunky Recovering Alcoholic category. And why was Liz in the audience? OK, she turns up for everything but even she must have thought this was a bit too specialist and with little chance, we assume, of receiving an award herself.
