Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Kim]

No, he doesn't. He suspects, but both Jane and Peter have now told him that he didn't.

I'm getting to the point that I would pay to keep the Carters off of the screen

I know I got this wrong with Eva in Corrie because she wasn't going to America after all, but the same problem applies to Lauren going to live in New Zealand. She would need to apply for a visa.....

[Perdita]

Jason bought the ticket for New York, I presume he would have sorted visa at the same time ... when I went to the States, some years ago now though, the visa was for a year ....

[tammyy2j]

Is a visa needed even for a holiday?

Peter and Lauren are going to NZ long term, a nice happy exit for them, I sure they will return one day with baby Branning Beale

I am glad Peter told Lauren the truth of how Lucy died

Poor Abi, Ben admits he still likes guys and still she will make their relationship work she loves him, she really wants to be loved and needed

[parkerman]

No a visa isn't needed for a holiday. But they are going out there long term, not just for a holiday. For that they would need a visa.

This episode was a game of two halves. The Scenes with the Beales and Lauren and Peter were good but the Carter scenes did not hold my interest and I did get a little bored. I never thought I would tire of the Carters as I have been one of their biggest cheer leaders but tonight I did. I thought the ending was good.

It did make me smile for saying Lauren is going to New Zealand she did not have much luggage. Abby had more and she was only moving down the square.

What!! They the reason I started watching EastEnders again, having not watched it for a good few years, they've brought a bit of life back into it. Although there is the danger of over using them.

It was with some trepidation that I settled down to watch both of this week's episodes last night. I was very concerned how the aftermath of the anniversary week would be handled, but I shouldn't have been as it was very well done.

I guess the couple of scenes that directly referenced Bobby being the killer were filmed since Friday. I was right that Bobby's old enough to put two and two together about Lucy's death but he seems to have believed what Peter said (for now).

Nice to see Peter and Lauren (and bubs) get a happy ending.

I wasn't sure from Mick's reaction whether Dean was dead or alive but since Nancy told Linda she thinks he's dead, I'm certain now that he's still alive.

I know I had a hissy fit last week when they brought Kathy back form the dead and I said I would never watch again. What can I say, I have calmed down, I am chilled and I am fickle. I cannot give up on Albert Square, I still love this show.

I'm glad about that. At least you're got a sense of humour about it. I particularly liked what you said about needing your own duff duffs!

I think Richard Blackwood's character saw Kim already unless he pretended he didn't know her

He saw Kim and the baby getting into the ambulance but turned away quickly. It was obvious he knew her.

Has anyone realised that Kim's baby, Pearl, has been named after the 30th anniversary? I didn't think of that myself though, unfortunately. I saw someone mention it elsehwere.

I agree, I love the Carters too. They've been on screen an awful lot during their first year but isn't that always the same for the family that runs the Vic? I find them very watchable (except for the slimy Dean).

[lizann]

kinda feel the same now about carters too used way too much

[Dazzle]

I felt sorry for both Abi and Ben (never thought I'd say that!) during the scene where he confessed he's still attracted to men. He genuinely cares for her and tried to finish the relationship. She's so desperate for love she'll stay in a relationship with a gay man. It's quite a sad situation really.
