@Rhys Hoffman especially today there’s like 6 generations of women under one roof so many Teen Mothers since the 80s

@@kailewis6520 Six generations is pushing it a bit. There always were lots of teen mothers, they just used to be hidden away. Usually 'sent away to stay with an aunt'. It has been no different since the 1980s than for generations before - and has been in all families.

It's a bit weird when distinctive characters are recast

@Rhys Hoffman apparently Susan Tully didn’t want to return

Was just thinking the the same. I haven’t watched EE recently but if you watch the ones from 20 years ago (e.g 2003/05) - which are on KZfaq - most of the square don’t have a washing machine , which was unusual considering many of them own businesses etc!

She the finest played Aunt SuSu sitcom Desmond's 😁🤣😂🤣

Lou was angry at the time with Pauline but then when the baby came she was happy and over the moon I guess she was more understanding considering she was younger 🤷🏽‍♀️

@@neptunestardustLou did have a caring side despite being a battleaxe lol

Possibly because she felt Pauline was too old to be getting pregnant. Even said "having a kid when you're on the dole at you're age".

@@josephmullin5845 My aunt was 40 when she had my 'oops' cousin in 1965. She was embarrassed that the neighbors would see that she was pregnant and gossip about her. I don't know what she thought they would say, possibly that she was some kind of a pervert, even though she had been married to my uncle for 15 years and they had a 12 year old and a 10 year old. She typically saw her mother once every four to six weeks. But she was so afraid of her mother scolding her for being pregnant at 40. My grandmother had no idea why her daughter kept having things come up and would be unable to see her. My dad and his 2 siblings told my aunt she was being ridiculous. They finally had enough when my grandmother showed up at my aunt's door asking what in the world was going on. My aunt refused to open the door and told her to go away. When my grandmother was told that my aunt was pregnant and that she was just so embarrassed and afraid of my grandma's reaction, my grandma just rolled her eyes and told my aunt that she was being an idiot.

I know this is from a year ago. Lou would've known she was a hypocrite if she was angry at Michelle and also felt empathetic with Michelle because Lou and Albert had a baby in the 30s (I think) before they got married. I think she got angry at Pauline for getting pregnant later on because the family had little financial stability what with multiple people living in a 2 bed house and Arthur was constantly losing and in between jobs so really they were struggling enough at that point already. So Lou must've felt that they should known better than to bring a baby into such financial instability but she was overjoyed when Martin was born.

David G. I

Wasn’t the same Michelle though

No she never it was just a recast

@@kailewis6520 Correct, it doesn't count. A bit like me when I returned to the UK back in 2007 because only I didn't. I just gave my N.I number to some immigrant and he's been working ever since under my name/straw man. Brilliant isn't it!!!

Alan Jackson's grandmother

You're right she did!!

David G. Susan Tully spends her time behind the camera now, she has even directed several episodes of Eastenders. She was asked to return for each of those storylines but refused.

and here she is ,she is back on david !!!

+Edwina Zammit it's not the real Chelle.

@@lizbryant8347 Gee that happens on US Soaps as well. Gillian Spencer who acted on various Soaps including Vicky #1 on One Life To Live and Daisy on All My Children also wrote for the show as well as another Show called Another World. Michael Zaslow (Ex-Roger Thorpe) Guiding Light wrote for Another World and Crystal Chappel is the creator behind The Webseries Venice who played Olivia Spencer from 1999-2009 when the show got cancelled.

She's played Blossom Jackson years later.

Yup. Vicki's mother is Vicki's sister's best friend. Very messed up indeed.

Den and Angie adopted Sharon, She wasn’t his biological daughter which Vicki is although he didn’t care about her, he cared more about Sharon. Sharon’s real father was a friend of his, Gavin Sullivan ( played by Paul Nicholas of “ Just Good Friends” ) and another member of “ The Firm “.

kippy123ful so sexy

Chantelle Adlington He is the father

kyfo89 Oh did they have an affair or something?

+Chantelle Adlington yes late 1986

No, it was early 1985; the relationship started

+Chantelle Adlington It was a one time encounter. It happened in the Queen Vic.

A typical 80s kitchen

@@Fordicles it’s earlier than that, you forget this is a council house and Lou and her husband, Albert Beale moved into it during WW2. It’s definitely a pre war kitchen.

lol. You couldn’t just buy a new kitchen on the cheap from IKEA in those days you know 😂 . House fixings rarely got replaced , and furniture was handed down. Make do and mend.

Wendy Richards was an amazing actor

F off. Wendy was an amazing actor, and Pauline was one of the shows most legendary characters.
