Vald alert ... take cover!!!!!
Vald pronounces judgement on Cora's advice to Abi and on Lola's predicament. I don't know if she's trying to appeal to the young and foolish as an older, real-life version of ASBO Granny Cora or if she's just styooopid, but she's going a long way to prove she hasn't one iota of common sense.
Lock up your kids when Vald's around, especially your impressionable adolescent girls. This woman is dangerous.
First Lola ... Vald says:-
Lola, like Katshit, is a walking invitation to a pity party, and when she gets the positive reaction she wants, she laughs at the culprit offering her sympathy.
The baby is happy and well-nourished only because of Billy's and Lola's dishonesty. Billy robbed Janine blind in order to provide the very best of accoutrements for Lola's baby. Instead of seeing a doctor and receiving a free prescription for her child's nappy rash, Lola steals bum cream, amongst other things, from Janine. She's also proven her total immaturity in her precipitous and violent response to the girl gangs' goading. Whatever the circumstances, responsible parents don't go around fighting in the streets, biting people's hands and blowing up in the face of figures of authority. Lexie won't be a baby for long, and pretty soon she'll be a kid and kids learn by imitating. If she sees her mum going around knocking the shit out of people who annoy her, then she'll think that's what you're supposed to do.
What chance does that sort of kid have except the chance of an urchin? Both adult role models have stolen and have profited from it. Her mother is undisciplined and respects no authority. She'll pass that attitude onto her child. Besides, Lola is a child herself, and she bores easily. It won't be long before she's leaving Billy holding Lexie whilst she's off enjoying herself. Lexie is something new and interesting at the moment, but when the real scutwork of parenting kicks in, she'll want to be off clubbing or finding a babydaddy someplace, if not getting up the duff again.
As hard as it might seem for Vald to comprehend this, the social worker is actually looking after Lexie's needs. She wouldn't be doing so if there hadn't been some sort of risk attached to Lola as a parent.
As for Billy, isn't he supposed to be contributing to the financial support of his own children whom he hardly sees? He seems to care more about a grandchild he didn't know existed until a year ago instead of giving care and attention to his two children, one of whom is a special needs child.
Tanya is concerned, like any mother would be, about her daughter continuing her studies in an effort to better herself academically, socially and professionally. In a cack-handed way, she's preparing Abi for the fact that this might mean leaving certain "friendships" behind. Abi has, or did have, ambition. Cora is as good as telling her to throw all of that to the wind and devote herself, along with Jay, to ministering to Lola's needs.
Oddly enough, Cora dished out two lots of advice to impressionable young girls last night that was simply ignorant in itself. Telling Lola she should be beating down the door of Social Services did her a lot of good, didn't it? As for Abi, it's pretty obvious now that she's thrown in her lot with Jay and Lola, who are living - at the moment - on the charity of others, and who've both broken the law in big ways. If she's even started sixth form college at all, she won't remain there long. As for Jay "loving" her, he's eight-fucking-teen and she's just turned sixteen. Ricky Butcher and Sam Mitchell were love's young eloping dream at that age; Darren Miller and Libby Fox got engaged when they were that age. Both those relationships really lasted, didn't they?
It would be nice, just for once, if EastEnders could follow through with a teen who wants to better herself or himself - like Michelle Fowler or Sonia Jackson or even Ian Beale sought to do. It still happens. Instead, we have Abi spending a summer on an educational course and returning with bleached hair kohl-enhanced eyes and false eyelashes and looking like a baby prostitute.
But maybe Vald thinks that's cool.

First Lola ... Vald says:-
The attitude of that SW towards Lola makes me feel physically sick. Is this really how they would treat a young mum when all the evidence points to a well cared for baby that is happy and well nourished.As the far saner commentator Sulla says, the social worker's overzealous attitude doesn't make Lola a saint. Lola is a totally undisciplined, hard-headed, amoral, duplitious, thieving, mouthy little chav with no manners and no idea of good behaviour. She is, in her own way, a bully of sorts, and - like so many women on the show now (and especially her self-proclaimed mentor, Katshit) - the perpetual victim, never accepting responsibility for any of her inappropriate behaviour, instead casting blame on her environment, her background, her physical condition, her youth, the boil on her ass that particular morning, whatever.

Cora was right to pull Abi up on her attitude but for the wrong reasons, and, in doing so, she totally undermined Abi's mother. Cora was wrong.
Cora, Kat, Christian and Denise were kind to her, especially Cora. And she was right to pull Abi up on her pity party. She needs to distance herself from Tanya and her snobbery. Lola has been a good friend to her and Jay really loves her.
