Oooh, I only watched like three eps ever, during what I thought was the start of Iqra's plot and then it turned out to be not much at all, but during that time, I did actually like Honey. Whose husband/bf/ex? had been having an affair with Iqra's sister, I think? Let me dip my toe back in these waters :hudoin:
Yep, Honey was with Adam the wasteman. She's now with Jay who is very sweet but they don't look like a couple at all. I guessed they were going for some Suki Honey unrequited love angle when they lingered on their hug the other week.
Unrequited?? I'm out, see you all later

The depth we've already gotten with Suki/Honey (I watch EE & have been enjoying their friendship all summer, but noticed it shifting last week) is so much more than Ash has gotten with both Iqra & Peter.
I’m trying to catch up on everything I’ve missed. Where do you recommend I start? With the July episodes?
July: 15, 16, 19, 20, 22
Aug: 13, 16, 17, 19, 20
Thanks :heart:

Dunno why people are acting like if they didn't do this story, they'd devote time to the other wlw. You can want them to treat them better and still like for more wlw instead of het

Because no one cared about treatment of wlw characters before and now you're all up in arms with people rightfully criticising this choice made for shock value and shippers attention?
Just saying :eyeroll:
Just be honest and say no we don't fucking care about lesbian rep for lesbian characters we just want bi (het?) attractive women suddenly having a forbidden affair.

I mean, yeah. I'm not going to watch this show for something good, after seeing what they've already done for years now, or vent yet again on TLC where nobody except other lesbians will be reading. There's a chance this one might be interesting and have some legs, if not, it's no better than I expected from this show.

It's not a matter of being miserable, this is a lesbian forum. Did you enjoy the stories given to multiple lesbian characters on EE? Did you care? They god rid of Tina for what? She was a lesbian in this age group, wasn't she hot enough? Wasn't the story forbidden enough? Was she just too much of a lesbian to care?

The press just wants another couple to give them clicks. Ballum's popularity is not what it used to be so let's try with the "lesbians".

I don’t know what you want me to say sis. I don’t even watch EE regularly, I’m just here for Suki and Honey. I don’t have the time or energy to be retroactively pissed. Hope Gray gets what’s coming to him tho.

I'm just bored if this type of storyline, if not one straight character then two straight characters suddenly being gay. It's the biggest cliche on soaps & it's only there to shock. Like being interested in women is shocking. For all the time people are accepting this it's going to constantly happen.

Sorry to be that downer of people enjoying this but if this is the representation you want & accept then by all means ship but personally I think we deserve better.

DA Well, if you cared, where were all the posts between January and August? Or do you only care when someone else might like something?

It's going to be trash, everyone knows that. This is going to be trash too. But for the few eps it might be something, people will enjoy attractive adult women together. Sue us.

This could be a really great storyline for them, even if it’s short-lived. Honey having to deal with the fall out from cheating on Jay, and Suki having to deal with her family. Can you imagine Ash’s reaction? Lmao… Kheerat has also said some homophobic things to Ash in the past, so I can’t imagine he’ll react well. I feel like they might think Honey took advantage of her. Interesting stuff to work with here, hopefully they capitalize.

The actress who plays Suki said it is a friendship in a Digital Spy interview. EE already has 3 lesbians, and 2 or 3 bi women. Who they mostly do nothing with.

da

I sort of agree with you. Maybe things will change as the storyline happens, but right now it doesn't feel like an organic storyline that makes sense for the characters.

I've not watched Eastenders much recently, but Honey at least I've never seen have even any hints with another woman.

Emmerdale 'changed' Vanessa's orientation when she got with Charity, but at least with her it felt more likely as we'd already seen her have feelings for another woman, even if all her relationships since had been with men. And Charity had already had at least one other female pairing.

This just feels like EE are again throwing stories at the wall to see what fits. There are already women in this who who they could be doing storylines for but they aren't. It just feels like pandering.

I wish it was anon but they wouldn't push this in the press if it was just a friendship. KO and Jon Sen are very predictable, she's played the same tricks for years and now that the boat is sinking she's come up with this. Robron, Kana, Ballum...rinse and repeat, we know her MO.

I hate that it’s being framed this way. Is what Suki’s doing wrong? Sure. But is it bullying? I don’t think so. She’s just being an inflexible boss because she couldn’t stand being rejected. I don’t know where they’re going with this. I like their scenes, so I’m just hoping they can at least get back on good terms as friends.
