That everyone is really against Ronnie cos she took kats baby but no-one seems to have any sympathy and think about the fact that she'd lost two kids in a relatively short space of time...
Surely in real life she wouldn;t be looking at prsion time at all??

I'm not against her. I feel sorry for her and think she needs counselling rather than prison.
Thats what i think Cagney but it doesn't seem to have even been mooted on there...unless I've missed it.
I think it's because of Ronnie herself. She's told the police she wants to be punished, that she knew what she was doing etc.

I think that's the point that her lawyer was trying to make in Thursday's episode. That's why she wanted to tell Ronnie's story in court, and that now appears to be the basis of Ronnie's defence.
But she doesn't seem to have any sympathy from the neighbours etc....who know what she went through....
Croc, that is EXACTLY what I was saying to my husband five minutes ago. And I actually said, if some woman stole my baby, and I got him/her back safe and sound several weeks or months later; I would be elated to get the baby back. I would be angry and upset with the woman and want her to answer to what she'd done... But she is obviously poorly to have done something like that, so the last thing I would want would be for her to go to jail... I mean, what would that achieve? She needs help, not to be banged up.

In a way I agree but in a way I don't. In my own world now with my kids safe and sound in the house beside me I'd like to think I'd be compassionate but in reality I bet I'd be baying for blood.
LOL I guess I see what you mean Cagney, but at the same time, I don't think jail would be the right place. Guess you can't say for sure unless you have it happen to you though eh?

I may well be the same...however i think I would at least have some sympathy for the circumstances that led to them doing what they did if not for them doing the deed itself.

Oh don't get me wrong Croc...I'd have sympathy if I knew the circumstances but I don't know if it would be enough for me to forgive them. Part of me would want punishment and if it was someone who moved back onto the street I lived in I doubt I'd be able to stop myself beating the hell out of her. Not a good thing to do but it's probably what I would do.
It's a fantastic storyline and definately gets people talking
Well considering she put Kat though all the emotions of her child dying by her kidnapping her baby it would be unrealistic to have people feel sorry for her.
But she should be sent to jail and given counseling while she is locked up although she will need protecting there as kidnapping kids isn't exactly a safe crime to be in for.
If this happened to me in rl, I would be inclined to be unforgiving at first, but I know how I feel about reconciliation, so I may see mitigation eventually. Don't know though.
The times characters jump into bed with inlaws, others' wives, husbands, boyfriends and girlfriends and just can't wait until their partners' backs are turned before doing the dirty on them, in reality they'd ALL hate each other and wouldn't even have the time to notice Ronnie.

I agree. But EE is the most unrealistic and laughable show EVER shown on terrestrial tv IMO. It's embarrassingly bad now.
I disagree, Cupcake. Corrie is far worse.
which brings up the answer.
What I don't understand about Eastenders is..........how has this rubbish been on our tv screens for 26 years.
Yep.
Jury head on - suspended sentence and counselling.
Kat head on - get outta ma soap!
i was very moved by her performance when she was in the police station and broke down i have felt sometimes more symapthy with Ronnie than Kat
What I don't understand about Eastenders (or any soap for that matter) is why is it still on?
*Runs, screaming for the hills, from the die hard soap watchers*

Because in some peoples opinions EastEnders is a great show like Corrie is
. I don't like some programmes like Dr Who but wouldn't want them axed because I respect the fact their fans obviously enjoy the programme!
Kat had become bitter before this storyline and she's had my sympathy but she also irritates me and don't know how Alfie lets her treat him like dirt. Alfie grates too after a while.
Shame because Kalfie before they left the first time were an amazing and hilarious couple. I hope Ronnie don't get set down because she is IMO clearly mentally unwell and having some kind psychiatric treatment would be her form of rehabilitation and her punishment is constantly regretting doing that and wishing her 2 children were still alive.

Have to say though, although EE is dross; Corrie has gone down the pan a bit recently too, with laughable storylines and dodgy acting.
