Eastender current episode discussion IV

[Dazzle]

Really good scenes between Sharon and Phil tonight. I really wish Phil wasn't such an utter scumbag because at times like these I'd like to be able to like him. It'd be nice if there was to be a permanent character shift (even if it's only subtle) after his liver failure ordeal. (At least let the Mitchell marriage remain strong so that we can be done for good with the Sharon leaving/forgiving him merry-go-round!)

Neither he or Denise are showing any signs of regret about the adoption...

I'm not really enjoying the teen characters being given so much screen time (although to be fair they're not the worst bunch of teens EE have ever given us). Unfortunately,

Spoiler:

I've heard that Louise's two new female friends and Keegan are all regulars now so we're going to be seeing a lot more of them. I can only hope they'll all end up murdering the thoroughly unpleasant (though unfortunately realistic) Keegan...

Jay shows yet again that he's the best young character on the square. Thank goodness he's being given more to do nowadays!

It is as though the bus crash never happened. Aftermath? What aftermath.

I can some up the episodes so far in one word "Disappointing."

If I wanted to watch an episode of Grange Hill or Waterloo Road I would, I don't need EastEnders turning into a second rate version.

Thank goodness we only have 3 episodes this week.

I've thought this week's episodes were good (ignoring the school kids) as everyday episodes but not as follow ups to a disaster. I do find it strange that it's as if the bus crash never happened. Again, Phil and Sharon stole the show for me, and Denise/Stacey giving her boss/Carmel what for were great. The Sylvie scene was plain weird...

I think it's a mistake to let the Max intrigue drop after whetting our appetites. Casual viewers who tuned in just to see what Max does next will have been sorely disappointed and might not bother again. I think it's going to be a slow burn storyline.

Fingers crossed that it doesn't turn into the Gavin Sullivan rubbish that had to be endured last year. Positive thoughts with Max taking centre stage for this storyline .

Is Jay back working for Phil in the garage, I liked the scenes of him, Ben and Phil

I am not a fan of Tony's wife and is the storyline leading to Phil straying and having an affair

I hate the way Sylvie even if she is not very nice is treated

He's still working at the undertaker's but was doing some work at the garage to earn some extra money.

Agreed. Tina's supposed to be a decent person so why was she pushing an obviously confused and reluctant woman up on stage?

We can't be sure of that yet. Max becoming a local hero for example or maybe the crash has affected Martin's fertility; there must be some reason for the announcement that he and Stacey were going to try for a baby while he was still in the hospital. Carmel siding with the stallholders over the possible removal of the market....who knows?

poor denise kim really embarrassed her

phil wants to holiday with sharon to recoup
