Well it was a bit sad but believable to think a fire had started and baby Freddie had been killed then it went a bit barking when all of a sudden the police say there's a baby been found nearby and the story changes to someone stealing Freddie, setting the house on fire then abandoning baby in the park. Stupid storyline really.

And that was stupid too. One minute he is lying in the back of a crashed car barely breathing and the next he is walking about ready to go on holiday.

I would bring back Nikki Sanderson and let she and Tina O'Brien have a lesbian schoolgirl fling.  Would be compulsive viewing.

Stupid storyline really.


The storyline had to be completely rewritten at the last minute - that's why the ending was a bit strange. Basically Freddie was supposed to have been missing for weeks, and there was going to be a TV appeal with Claire clutching his teddy - the full nationwide story. Then the McCann case came up and the storyline was virtually identical, right down to the publicity shots of the parents with a teddy. The whole thing had to be scrapped, even though weeks of it had already been filmed.

Although the forced change to the ending made things difficult, I thought the acting was great - especially Julia Haworth (Claire).

I couldn't stand the thought of a baby burning to death in that way and then my son told me about the kidnapping storyline and how it had to be changed.   I thought it was very well done considering it had to be changed at the last moment.
 

I could not work out how the car in EastEnders landed up in the water because I went to the loo at a crucial point. One minute the car was on a remote road with just trees around it, then i came back in the room to find it sinking in a bloody great lake. 'Where did that come from?' I asked myself. It made no sense at all but then I realised I was watching EastEnders.

Eastenders have had to change the Dawn/May/Rob storyline as well as May was going to kidnap the baby, for one,let alone both soaps to have a kidnap plot just now would of been awful, im so glad they have both pulled the story out of respect for the family.

I see some of you are soap fans so can anyone tell me why all the soaps have very big households but very small sofas? Has anyone else noticed?
