Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[flappinfanny]

great ending to monday's episode, i think tonight's is going to be a roller coaster of emotions.

[Dougie]

Well that got me crying...

Very emotional episode tonight, Adam was in top form as Ian and also good performances from actors who play Jane, Denise and Peter

I didn't like the ott scenes of the puppies birth and Phil as Doctor Doolittle, felt it was very forced for comedy and it failed

Also I was expecting one of Ian's close friends like Alfie or Sharon to stop him when he was leaving the pub upset to ask what was wrong instead everyone just went quite and watched

These cops were awful

[lizann]

i may be wrong but didn't tanya and jack bury max in walford common or was that epping forest?

is this place fairly near the square as tanya drove max somewhere

adam was great tonight

[flappinfanny]

the ending was very raw. adam woodyatt is in a class of his own and ben hardy had me in bits at the end. powerful stuff. eastenders at its best.

I thought the acting, and Ian's facial contortions, were awful. I was trying to place where I'd seen the actor, who played the detective, recently - he was Jess Griffin's wife beating husband in Holby City.

[flappinfanny]

i also recognise the female detective from something, its bugging me.

the actress playing Emma was in Family Affairs.

I loved the puppy scenes. I thought it made phil and shirley really endearing and heartfelt. you'd never think in a million years theyd be smiling / crying over a puppy. it genuinely felt like the pup couldve been a baby the way phil was holding it this showed he'd do anything for her sharon's face when phil walked off was classic too! ew that they kissed after though, thats gross lol

it totally distracted me from the rest of the ep, which is probably a good thing. Adam, ben and laurie were brilliant

no I thought we had always gone to Epping Forest before when trees etc were needed, the common was mentioned only in the flats episode last week, when Lucy pointed it out through the window to the viewing students??!
