    Did anyone spot Kiruna on Eastenders playing the teacher who gave Bianca's son Liam a dyslexia test? She played a really good character even though she was only on fro five minutes in the middle of the episode. I reckon she should have had longer and spoke more lines. They should have had her being a regular character and checking up on Liam's progress as he copes with his dyslexia. I think she was brilliant but should have been on longer.

    i think dyslexia is a great storyline......so many people are ignorant as to what it is and how easily it can be tested for these days!

    I was waiting for Ricky to make some kind of crass remark about Mrs Fielding's size - which wouldn't have been out of character - but it nevewr came. Full marks to the writer for resisting the temptation. And on another note, it was good to see a SENCO who was Disabled. Hopefully it's a trend that carries over into real life.

    You must have thought the same as me Chris, I was thinking about Ricky making a a comment about her size too, but I was glad that he didnt in some ways otherwise that would have been a very true to life scenario.
