THREE cheers for Sean Slater. Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray!

The Square's latest bad boy surely spoke for the nation when he gave Ruby a few home truths and her marching orders (EastEnders).

And just in case the whining dimwit still didn't get the message, he threw her father's ashes at her for good measure.

"I'm Johnny Allen's daughter!" she wailed, before slinking off into the night alone.

Brilliant.

Perhaps Sean could see a few other characters off. Get him on the case of Pauline Fowler, whose misery knows no bounds.

Mother from hell Pauline set her house on fire with a cigarette last week, then revealed the extent of her depression by sitting quietly in her bedroom letting the smoke suffocate her.

It was hard to feel any sympathy as it became clear she was dragging along small dog Betty for the ride.

Forget the paramedics, somebody ought to be calling the RSPCA.

While I'm on the subject of Pauline, I was a little confused as to how Martin knew that his mother was inside the burning house considering how, five minutes earlier, her nearest and dearest all thought she was out as they gathered in her kitchen to have a moan about her.

Over in Corrie, despite the Baldwin love triangle being one of the most unbelievable soap stories this year, the moment when Danny walked in on his ex-wife and son was soap gold.

I never expected to feel sorry for Danny in a million years, but I did.

I also found myself jeering along with him when Frankie protectively told him to leave Jamie alone and he snapped back: "Funny, you sounded just like his mother then."

After all these months of disliking him, I have well and truly been converted to the Danny Baldwin camp and think that Frankie and Jamie ought to be packed off in a taxi as punishment for their recent behaviour.
