It's actually nice to see Nick happy for a change.
ReplyDeleteGetting sloshed on the job and being rude to the main representative of a group event should not lead Eileen to believe anything except that she deserves to be fired. End of.
Too coarse for comfort - LOL - describes Eileen Grim by Name and Nature. I cannot bear this woman and wish she would be written out.
ReplyDeleteI cannot convey how much I detest Eileen - PLEASE do as Frosty says and write her out.
ReplyDeletePlease do not do as the EE-loving moaners say and get rid of Eileen: she is comic gold.
ReplyDeleteEileen was once ballsy, witty and the Street's Mother Hen. It's the poor writing that's turned her into the embittered, pathetic person she is now. So many of the female characters have lost their way: Gail, Anna (but I never liked her, anyway), Rita, and probably others. Only Sally seems to have blossomed and that was probably a fluke.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @ 10:49, where do you get the idea that people who dislike Eileen are EE-loving? Get a grip!
ReplyDeleteHopefully Gail will punch Eileen in the face
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Humpty Dumpty. about Eileen and the some of the other female characters. I used to love Eileen, especially in the cab office bantering with Lloyd & Steve. Oddly enough I am now enjoying Michelle since she learned about Steve's depression and is handling it much better than Liz is. On that note, I would have grabbed those Queen tickets and taken Steve with me, that would be better for him than staying home with his mother hovering and Tony's nose out of joint.
ReplyDeleteThat Eileen! She's not clever, not funny, just a mean, spiteful old cow!
ReplyDeleteWRITE HER OUT NOW!!!!!
Anonymous @ 12:18, you forgot to add jealous!
ReplyDeleteWatching in Canada we've just seen Eileen's first shift in the Rovers. One word to describe her behaviour rude. No employer would tolerate that kind of behaviour for one minute. Who does she think she is? I wouldn't hire her in the first place.
