    Unsure at the moment but Evil Janine finally arrived in Albert Square tonight.

    No, as good as Charlie is playing her, Janine’s repetitive story of her being obsessed with the Vic is boring to me.
    I agree with every single person who said that she should’ve returned still rich.

    I'm actually finding her return rather frustrating her want for Mock for her self with no real motive is strange

    Seems like they are just having her be villainous for the sake of it what made Janine work in her previous stints was they're was always a proper motive not a teenage one lol

    Too easy a scam really but certainly a more time effective one than waiting months for her prospective husbands to die!

    I would never have thought that Janine would have been paired up.with Mick when she returned last year.

    I thought she would end up with Gray or Kheerat and be at loggerheads with Suki but that hasn't happened.

    Charlie Brooks feels wooden tbh at the moment but its probably the material more than her acting ability.

    I think she’s great but as you pointed out, the writing definitely needs to step up when it comes to a character like Janine.
    It’s just boring how stupid other characters are written when they’re around her, even Shirley seems to have started trusting her and taken her side despite the fact she’s known Linda for years and knows that she isn’t a bad person when she’s sober.

    Still so many unanswered questions of what Janine got up too between March 2014 and September 2021.

    TPTB don't care about her character it's why they undid her development from 2010-2013 over the last few months, what they've done to Janine is criminal

    I’m enjoying her scheming at the moment. Quite impressed how she swindled Nancy and Zack! 😂

    Tonight proved once and for all she doesn't love Mick otherwise she wouldn't scam his daughter, she has no regard for anybody but herself.

    The constant moaning about Janine is doing my head in

    Her return has worked so well for me. We’re seeing that even when she’s trying to be good and turn over a new leaf, she has to resort to a scheme to make it happen

    Paying off Linda by fleecing her daughter is a genius move and it leaves Linda looking worse than ever

    But what's stopping Linda taking the money then sticking around anyway?

    She probably gives the money back to Nancy and sticks around.

    Nice to see her up to her old tricks. But it is not a very well thought through scam that should be rumbled fairly soon. She has sealed her own fate with Mick now. He will blow his top when he finds out what she has done to his beloved daughter.

    It won't take Linda long to join the dots of Janine paying her 50k on the same day Nancy and Zack were conned out of that amount.

    Honestly if you compared today's Janine with earlier day Janine, it's a day and night difference because of how poor the writing and storylines are now (pretty much explains why most EE fans love watching classic episodes because of how it was well-written and presented it has been in the past), they need to really improve in that department again and it will make not only Janine but all the characters much more watchable and enjoyable regardless of them being a hatable character or not.

    Not a fan of the character. But her running around desperate to be the centre of Mick's world is rather pathetic and disrespectful to Janine's iconic character. I don't believe she's got a long con on either. I genuinely believe she loves him. It's doing my head in how she's treating Scarlett like an afterthought. Part of me hopes Janine leaves with Mick. A little off-topic but still relevant why are the papers saying Kellie is leaving when she isn't?

    Sorry to hear people's opinions on Janine that you don't agree with are doing your head in. 🤷‍♂️

    But it becomes Lindas word against Janines again and Janines not the one with 50K. It doesnt paint Linda in a good light.

    The whole scam was so she could pay off Linda, so if it's a one off because she (inexplicably) thinks Mick is the best thing since sliced bread, then we will have to wait and see..

    This is nothing compared to her previous stints.. 😄

    It's too much of a coincidence that these two transactions took place on the same day.
