A truly shocking scene in Thursday's episode (11 March) - there was actually a genuinely happy life-affirming moment between Ian and Jane. I won't give away any details in case you want to catch it in the omnibus edition on Sunday or see it online, but it was the happiest bit of television I've seen in ages.

Needless to say by Friday's episode, normal doom, gloom and despondency had returned. The fundamental rule of life in Eastenders is that happiness is purely transient and must be followed by unhappiness which is the norm.
It's just as well that Eastenders is not representative of the majority else as a society we would be finished.

Talk about unhappiness, the recent episodes have gone out their way to punish Jane as much as possible. How dare she have the temerity to be happy for a brief moment.
Needless to say, her punishment isn't over yet. She doesn't yet know the true cause of Lucy losing the baby. Obviously the writers are saving this up so that when she is at her lowest, she can be told the brutal truth to make her misery even deeper.
