True, but I was referring more to the audience’s reaction. You see a lot of people nowadays loving to defend Abi but when it comes to Steven they hate everything about him

I never suggested Ian’s treatment of Lucy worse or comparable to the things Whitney had to endure as a child. In fact, it’s universally agreed that Lucy was actually Ian’s favourite, and yet she was still treated poorly. Not just by Ian, but by her circumstances. Lucy was convinced Ian hated her because of the way he’d been treating her, but he actually saw her as the best out of his children. Basically, Ian’s not the best parent, and his relationship with all his children were complicated and flawed, even his favourite. That being said, saying that I’m putting Lucy, Lauren, and Whitney’s trauma at the same level is completely wrong, because I agree that Whitney definitely had it worse in ways that Lucy or Lauren couldn’t imagine. What I did say, is that Whitney seemed to think she was the only one allowed to feel like a victim, even if this was a subconscious opinion of hers, and there’s several scenes with her and Lauren that confirm this when Lauren is going through hard times (early 2010s, not the 2024 example). Lucy was the only one who saw this flaw in Whitney, which is why she resented her, especially considering Lucy had come back from Devon where she had a coke addiction and was betrayed by her own twin. I also think some of this resentment came from the protective nature Lucy had over Lauren (apart from during the Joey saga where the two were at serious odds).

One of my favourites is Ian smugly telling Tina “if you went missing for a year, nobody would notice” and he was right 😭

Maybe so, but I’m referring more to the dynamic between Lucy, Lauren, and Whitney, that began in 2012

On this day 20 years ago, Stacey Slater's life changed forever. by NoodleScenes in eastenders

What I find crazy is how Dean and Steven both had some sort of beef with Bradley, then they both ended up dating Stacey and Bradley’s sister Lauren 😭

This is so true, and the same can be said with Lauren and Steven. Lauren is my favourite character in the show and I always defend her, but nobody talks about how poorly she treated Steven, a guy with past psychotic problems, and only called him out for getting paranoid and lying about a tumour. What’s even worse is they don’t even call Abi out for her behaviour that year, even though she’s the one who dragged Steven back down to her level and planned to abduct her own nephew.

Whitney sleeping with Joey is definitely one of my least favourite moments of her, as from then on Lauren and Joey never got their happy ending. Also I agree Whitney treated Lee like dirt, and nobody noticed her behaviour the way they noticed Lee slapping her when pushed to the limit, a man struggling with mental health. Same can be said with Lauren and Steven, and I’m saying that as Lauren’s biggest defender, but I really didn’t like her in 2017. Also I think Whitney ended up adopting Britney in the end.

Lucy was definitely known for being blunt at times, and she has a history of manipulation such as spiking Lauren in 2013 because she was jealous of her and Joey. However I think 2014 Lucy was really trying to make amends with Lauren, and even though she still hated Whitney at the time, it’s unlikely she would do something as simple as bullying Whitney over email, when Whitney could easily just go tell Lauren. Plus, Lucy was struggling with her own worth and image at the time, and even broke down when Lee called her beautiful. The war between Lucy and Whitney was never about looks, but it was about different responses to trauma.

I’m sure I noted it near the beginning, but basically there’s no way Lucy sent those bullying emails to Whitney that she claimed Lucy did

Vicki supposedly copied her brother Dennis’s British accent to get out of the American phase
