Freezing Eastenders Lake

[Velvetee]

I was watching Eastenders, where Sean, Roxy and Ronnie fell into a frozen lake. Sean was under for quite a while, but they all came out of the water in good shape and stood around in the cold for some time.

Not only that, but when Ronnie came out, soaked and freezing, she went and picked up the premature baby Amy and held her closely against her cold wet clothes. Wouldn't this be potentially harmful to any baby, let alone a prem one?

Surely, being soaked through with freezing water, would cause the body to go into shock and the onset of Hypothermia? Was this scenario, even more unbelievable than regular Eastenders storylines?

I think they borrowed the set off Emmerdale!

Yes and the lake had a very wooden echo sound to it, and as for the trees in the background...it was like a scene from Bob Harris` Joy Of Painting

[Velvetee]

But would their wellbeing have suffered greatly, with the exposure to the cold water and the elements?

Thankfully its only tv and not really real.

Hope i didnt burst your bubble there?

yeah your right velvetee, shawn seemed to show superhuman and supernatural powers by staying under a frozen lake,helping roxy free her foot and then swim back to the depths like some kind of mythical sea creature and somehow emerges with no help has a couple of whispers with roxy and then slopes of into the night where most people would've collapsed! the writers for eastenders must've been thinking ''well its the holiday period,everyones still drunk and will be gullible anyway!''

[tiggerblue10]

In real life yes and going back to Emmerdale when Victoria was pulled out she just did a few coughs. Surely being under water for that amount of time a normal human being would drowned or needed resuscitating.

[Velvetee]

I would have thought so too Tigger.

Reality non Reality i rest my case!!!

[ELVIS68]

The baby would`ve been dead before the lake scene having not been fed for 5 days, as for Sean Slater, that`s the first scene he`s done without standing near a window

[tiggerblue10]

Real life would be too boring to dramatise (well in my case anyway)!

[Velvetee]

I think he was giving the baby formula milk, as he had his mad mum collect all the bottles for sterilizing, however, she never did return them to him, so yes, I guess it would have starved.

@elvis- or sneaking in someones back door..........which incidently is going to be what he does for the next 5years in the prison showers!

[tiggerblue10]

Get up 7am, go to work, do some work, have lunch, work a bit more, leave at 4ish, come home, cook dinner, put computer on, come on AB, watch unreaistic soaps, spend a bit more time on comp, have a soak in bath whilst doing some Sudoku, got to bed.

Do you think the BBC would pay for my life to be dramatised?

[legendis.god]

there were no asda trollies in the lake

and how did they get a pair of parking spaces next to the lake?


and roxysmascara didnt run and her sister cant swim


and where was wellard????

[legendis.god]

what about the pusssys tiggz?

alwasy some airtime for that on bbc2


or maybe bbc3

[tiggerblue10]

Wellard is in doggy heaven Leg.

[ELVIS68]

Also for Connaught Waters to freeze over like that it would have to be -15

[tiggerblue10]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the cats.

Feed the cat, water the cats, blah blah...................come home to lovely greeting from tigger an Blue, feed cats again and watch them sleeping on the settee, fight with for ownership of MY bed, finally go to bed in cat bed!

[tiggerblue10]
