mick and ollie deserve better, is lee coming back again to fix the family

[flappinfanny]

mick and ollie deserve better, is lee coming back again to fix the family

so whitney killed leo

Ollie does.

[flappinfanny]

So anniversary week has started tonight, it is set on Valentines Day.

Who threw the brick through the window, Dennis? seems to obvious or Dotty?

It is very compelling watching Linda and Mick falling apart and what a Duff Duff with Leo and Whitney. Tom Wells was excellent playing Leo unhinged and demented. Shona McGarty has earned her stripes over the years and has proved time and time again she is a leading lady.

[lizann]

whitney is new ronnie and kat, victim of misery and now killer

ben blaming martin for callum, look in the mirror

[Dennis tanner]

who would give drunk linda a hamster let alone a child to look after, mick has a good case for custody of ollie

anymore carter kids coming back, lee again as the parents divorcing

Linda needs a dose of reality.

[lizann]

Linda needs a dose of reality.

ollie up the roof which should be locked off where people have died didn't wake her up

[tammyy2j]

Is Leo dead?

[lizann]

Is Leo dead?

yes duncan metro confirmed

[lizann]

police at sonia door for her or martin not over dead leo

when was tracey with phil?

[flappinfanny]

The Linda and Shirley cat fight was iconic. Mo "We’ve hit an iceberg!" :rotfl:

The pace was very good. For me the stand out performance tonight was from Mr Danny Dyer. Has Leo got up and walked? My money's still on Bex being brown bread.

[parkerman]

Why was 'L' down in the galley trying, with great difficulty, to reach a bottle of whatever it was in an awkward place when there was plenty of booze readily available upstairs at the party?

[lizann]

she walked off downstairs to the kitchen after outing mick and whitney affair

[Dennis tanner]

police at sonia door for her or martin not over dead leo

when was tracey with phil?

He's always been a Babe magnet

[Dennis tanner]

Why was 'L' down in the galley trying, with great difficulty, to reach a bottle of whatever it was in an awkward place when there was plenty of booze readily available upstairs at the party?

All true. That doesn't make sense. Anyway, as they are in a kitchen, MIck should be able to get a knife good enough to cut her foot off.

[Jadefalcon]

All true. That doesn't make sense. Anyway, as they are in a kitchen, MIck should be able to get a knife good enough to cut her foot off.

Just her foot? :)

[lizann]

how did denny a minor get on the pub boat party

[lizann]

He's always been a Babe magnet

is it his bullying personality that attracts the "babes"

[Dennis tanner]

is it his bullying personality that attracts the "babes"

That and the fact that he's on the tele

[Jadefalcon]

That and the fact that he's on the tele

Are you talking about Phil, or the actor?

[lizann]

That and the fact that he's on the tele

phil on the telly?

[tammyy2j]

It is like Kate Oates took the film Titanic as this week's inspiration

[Jadefalcon]

Anyone else cheer on Monday when Ian hit that smug little toad Dennis?

Max is surprised that Lauren basically wants nothing to do with him...really?

[flappinfanny]

Loved Kathy's line about Ian getting more like Pauline. The Bobby scenes at the tube were hard hitting and upsetting but very well played. I liked that Iqra and Habiba were at the hospital. I cheered when Ian locked Denny in. I doubt Denny will drown, my money is still on Bex? Sharon has finally gone into labour, how long has she been expecting?

[lizann]

are we to feel sorry for ben as callum hostage over him and now he and phil take karen and sharon hostage, dont care about ballum, has stuart coped that callum is missing

[Jadefalcon]

Are we also meant to be intimidated by the fake sounding threats from Ben trying unsuccessfully sounding like a would be hard man?

[Dennis tanner]

Are we also meant to be intimidated by the fake sounding threats from Ben trying unsuccessfully sounding like a would be hard man?

The Mitchells don't scare me. I can just change channels if I like.

[Jadefalcon]

Well, obviously, it's just laughable the way they always blow them up as if they were the next incarnation of the Krays.
"Remember you're a Mitchell"...pah.

[parkerman]

Callum sawing off his chains was bad enough but how the **** did Phil manage to get out from behind the sofa Karen and Billy were sitting without them noticing?

[flappinfanny]

Callum sawing off his chains was bad enough but how the **** did Phil manage to get out from behind the sofa Karen and Billy were sitting without them noticing? Magic. :thumbsup:

[flappinfanny]

The Mitchells don't scare me. I can just change channels if I like.

[flappinfanny]

i liked the beginning part of the show, very Emmerdale in it's approach. Interesting the Queen Vic bust sank to the bottom, is that a clue? So it was Keanu who is too blame for the boat sinking? I really do not have a scooby doo who dies tomorrow.

A variety of reasons starting with Keanu and Sharon

I think it's Phil's fault the boat sinks.

Looks like Bex will die.

[parkerman]

Fortunately, I haven't seen Winston on the boat so I don't think it can be him....

[flappinfanny]

I think it may be Bex, however the majority of the cast are listed in next weeks Radio Times? :hmm:

If it's Keanu I will kick the cat, well I would if we had one. :wall:

We will find out by 8:57 tonight. Duff Duff Duff Duff. :crying:

[lizann]

well denny dying will cause forever friction between phil and sharon and ian and sharon, keanu leaving again no hello goodbye to his siblings

[flappinfanny]

Line of the night goes to Sonia when she said to Martin about the poilce, "I played my trumpet, what you think I did." :rotfl:

The aftermath is going to be good, with the guilt of Ian, Sharon and Phil.

[Jadefalcon]

I did have to laugh at Phil talking to Keanu the other night, "I treated you like my own", knowing Phil's parenting skills is that REALLY something he should boast about?

[Dennis tanner]

keanu leaving again no hello goodbye to his siblings Or me but I'm not fussed. Sharon needs to know that she raised 'Denny' as a spoiled brat.

[Dennis tanner]

Line of the night goes to Sonia when she said to Martin about the poilce, "I played my trumpet, what you think I did." :rotfl:

The aftermath is going to be good, with the guilt of Ian, Sharon and Phil.

Rebecca...Sorry Mom

Mom...You have nothing to be sorry about

REbecca...Thanks Mom, I'll do it again then

[lizann]

did sharon get denny message about ian?

ben deaf again from boat whack

[tammyy2j]

Martin and Sonia were calm for a dead body being in Dot's kitchen

I am disappointed Dennis died and not Mick or Linda especially Linda

I do think the sinking boat should have had a few deaths

I expected Sharon to reject the new baby, giving him to Keanu or Karen

[flappinfanny]

I liked the fact we only had Sharon halfway through the episode, there will be plenty of time to show Sharon's grief and her storyline. It was good to see how the other characters have reacted to Denny's death. The scenes in the Vic were very powerful. Adam Woodyatt was excellent and watching his grief was compelling.

[lizann]

where is phil back to portugal

[Dennis tanner]

In one soap, Dirty Den is killed, Den Junior is killed and now Den very junior is killed....How unlucky can one family be ?

[Dennis tanner]

did sharon get denny message about ian?

ben deaf again from boat whack

It's fun to watch him suffer a bit.

[tammyy2j]

In one soap, Dirty Den is killed, Den Junior is killed and now Den very junior is killed....How unlucky can one family be ?

Phil can take some blame for two

I like the scenes of Ben and Jay, this deaf storyline will be interesting

[lizann]

is gray the only solicitor, he worked with leo, defends kush and now whitney, no conflicts?

[Dennis tanner]

is gray the only solicitor, he worked with leo, defends kush and now whitney, no conflicts?

Yes he is the only solicitor. He has eliminated all opposition.

Poor Deaf Ben. Couldn't happen to a nicer person. If I was the consultant I would send the rude burger to the back of the queue.

Menwhile Vivyan continues to bore me.

[flappinfanny]

I like the fact they are drip feeding us Sharon right now. I love the relationship with Jean and Mo. Interesting that both Corrie and EastEnders are tackling deaf storylines.

[lizann]

granny karen younger than mammy sharon

[Dennis tanner]

I like the fact they are drip feeding us Sharon right now. I love the relationship with Jean and Mo. Interesting that both Corrie and EastEnders are tackling deaf storylines.

I disagree about Mo Harris because I totally loath her

[flappinfanny]

I disagree about Mo Harris because I totally loath her

I can't say I am a fan, but in recent weeks I have liked the material she has been given, she was very funny on the boat.

[flappinfanny]

I did smile at how tall the Nu Peter is. Lexi was hilarious giving Peter the highlights since he has been away. Lucky Bobby bunking up with Peter. :heart:

Thank goodness they have found Callum. Stuart was so funny with his sign language, he should go on "Give us a clue." :D

Sad scenes with Jean and Daniel, as soon as we saw Ethel/Dave the Cat we knew that was it for Daniel.

[lizann]

nu peter is like a male model, is lola after him?

ian will crack and confess to sharon

daniel is dead for real now poor jean but now she will be feisty jean slater

has sharon given baby cadence to karen, kayden which name is karen giving the baby?

[parkerman]

Why was the entire London police force (all three of them) in Albert Square when Keegan and Tiff were emptying out the rubbish bags?

[parkerman]

By the way, great line from Dotty to Peter, "You've changed." :rotfl:

[Dennis tanner]

Why was the entire London police force (all three of them) in Albert Square when Keegan and Tiff were emptying out the rubbish bags?

I cannot recall seeing a more ridiculous scene in any soap. 2 idiots remove about 5 bags from the rear of the refuse vehicle and scatter the contents over the road. 3 Police oficers stand there and applaud them.

[Dennis tanner]

nu peter is like a male model, is lola after him?

ian will crack and confess to sharon

daniel is dead for real now poor jean but now she will be feisty jean slater

has sharon given baby cadence to karen, kayden which name is karen giving the baby?

Is a normal name too much to hope for ?

[flappinfanny]

Is a normal name too much to hope for ?

We are talking Karen, queen of the Chavs.

[flappinfanny]

The Shirley and Sharon scene was excellent, as were the scenes with Ian.

The only weak part of the episode were the Tiffany and Keegan scenes.

[lizann]

who was the fella who robbed keegan

[flappinfanny]

who was the fella who robbed keegan

Not sure, some random?

The positives from the episode, the Jean and Shirley scenes, a joy to watch, Adam Woodyatt has really upped his game, the jury's out on Nu Peter, although his height is distracting. Nice scenes with Kat and Bex. I wonder when Jessie has her break?

[tammyy2j]

who was the fella who robbed keegan

Was he looking for Ted, a grandson maybe? It was only Keegan's flat (Ted's flat) he broke into

[kaz21]

He sat behind them at the cafe, think he heard Keegan bragging.

[Jadefalcon]

I know Ian feels guilty about Dennis and Adam Woodyatt is playing it well, but why doesn't he say to Peter about what he did to Bobby directly and indirectly.

[lizann]

i prefer ben and callum apart, sorry shippers

[kaz21]

Me too. I think Callum is too good for Ben.

[Dennis tanner]

Me too. I think Callum is too good for Ben.

Callum is not that good. He believed that Mitchell had killed Keanu but did nothing about it.

[lizann]

Callum is not that good. He believed that Mitchell had killed Keanu but did nothing about it.

true, ben is a bad influence

[tammyy2j]

Will Ian buy The Arches for Dotty, can he afford it or will Ben give him a good deal :p

How can Bex afford to travel, is her friend or grandma Dot paying?

[flappinfanny]

The net is closing in on Ian, I wonder if he is going to have another break down? Suki is going to get found out soon.

As for Gray, he is not such a hot shot after all. The stand out character for me tonight was Dotty - Milly Zero, looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

Perhaps Beale will bump her off. I don't approve of blackmail

[parkerman]

Sorry, I'm a bit fuzzy about this whole thing. What exactly did Kush plead guilty to and how does his pleading guilty to whatever it was help Whitney?

[lizann]

Sorry, I'm a bit fuzzy about this whole thing. What exactly did Kush plead guilty to and how does his pleading guilty to whatever it was help Michelle?

michelle paid for bex to go off travelling which i think is a win for the viewers not if only sonia could go off too, thank you kush :p

kush pleading guilty did not help whitney anyway but gray firm didnt want losing verdicts

[Dennis tanner]

michelle paid for bex to go off travelling which i think is a win for the viewers not if only sonia could go off too, thank you kush :p

kush pleading guilty did not help whitney anyway but gray firm didnt want losing verdicts

Kush was an idiot to plead guilty. There is no reason why Whitney should not have got bail and I blame the BBC for influencing the judge.

However I am fed up of characters throwing things against the nearest wall.

[flappinfanny]

Suki is an interesting character, I would like to see a show down between Shirley and Suki.

[tammyy2j]

Is there any other solicitors besides Gray, I know he lives near

Jean is on to Suki

[Jadefalcon]

Just catching up on Thursdays, I'm really sick of Mo and her constant 'sell anything that isn't nailed down, and anything that is, get the claw hammer'.

[lizann]

linda didnt try to reach out to bestie sharon before now

[Dennis tanner]

Is there any other solicitors besides Gray, I know he lives near



Anyone charged with murder will get legal aid. Getting a very good solicitor would be very easy. EE can be totally unrealistic

[lizann]

hunger strike for jailed whitney and no sign of bianca

go jean calling out suki

[Jadefalcon]

"Trotters", "Bins", Mick's constant overuse of cockney really gets irritating.

[parkerman]

"Trotters", "Bins", Mick's constant overuse of cockney really gets irritating.

Yes, especially as all the other residents who are also supposedly cockernees hardly ever resort to it.

[lizann]

jay should have stayed with ruby, lola another cheater, did she have the abortion and she piling the drinks down fast

linda thinking she is high class even better than rainie :p she isnt

[Dennis tanner]

jay should have stayed with ruby, lola another cheater, did she have the abortion and she piling the drinks down fast

linda thinking she is high class even better than rainie :p she isnt

Lola didn't have a problem having her cousin's child.

Whitney needs a proper solicitor

[lizann]

Lola didn't have a problem having her cousin's child.

Whitney needs a proper solicitor

her gay cousin's child

[flappinfanny]

There is no excuse for what Suki has done, however I can understand her reasons. Excellent scenes in the Slater kitchen. Suki is an intriguing character, it will be interesting to see what happens when Mr Panesar comes out of the nick? I presumed he was dead.

I did not realise (One GCSE) Achievement scoller Denise was a trained hairdresser, the girl is talented.

Peter has come back quite an unpleasant character. You could see the delight in his face when he realised Jay and Lola had split up. He was deliberately getting Lola drunk. I have always thought Jay was too good for Lola, he has had a lucky escape.

I did smile at the Duff Duff, that lad is tall, god almighty, Lola was on her tip toes. The jury's out on Dayle Hudson. He is saying his lines a little too mechanically for my liking. However a good episode.

[tammyy2j]

Who had Lexi while Lola choose to go get drunk in The Albert, a gay bar, no Queen Vic for her

I do not remember Peter and Lola being so friendly or a even couple before, were they?

Peter is now a personal trainer to Habiba

I agree what Suki did was wrong but I find her interesting, the actress is very good

Does Kheerat Panesar like Chantelle as well as his brother Jags?

[kaz21]

Kathy was looking after Lexi.

[lizann]

Kathy was looking after Lexi.

so lola had to go drinking mini half shots in kathy's gay bar then :p

[parkerman]

I'm sorry, but I just find the Whitney story so ridiculous and unrealistic that I can't watch it through sheer irritation. I've never been in prison myself, but I can't believe that no-one has done anything about the state she is in. She would be surrounded by doctors and psychiatrists in the Prison Hospital by now. Complete nonsense.

psych ward hold

im not keen on it either

and where is bianca, milton keyes is travel for there also not allowed

lola you dirty tramp how did she reach giant peter

[kaz21]

Exactly what I said. Completely unrealistic.

[Dennis tanner]

Complete nonsense.

Totally agree with you.

[parkerman]

This could easily be posted in any of the other soap topics but I'll just say it here.

One of the problems with filming 6-8 weeks in advance of broadcast is that what's happening sometimes takes on a bit of an unrealistic air. Not one person so far has mentioned the Coronavirus pandemic, when for most of us it is now the main topic of conversation with concerns about the virus itself, the hoarding, the measures taken by the Government etc. etc. It would affect so many people in EE and Corrie and the rest, but not a word.

And it will be difficult to fit it in anyway, because even if they did start writing stuff in now, by the time of the broadcast things would have moved on and no-one knows where we will be in 6-8 weeks time. So, should they just ignore it altogether?

That's a tough one, if any soap is going to mention it, it would be EE, they are normally pretty good with things like that. It has already been mentioned on Holby City.

[flappinfanny]

Excellent scenes with Jessie and Shona. The Chantelle and Gray scenes were hard to watch. It reminds me a little bit of Trevor and little Mo.

The episode was a tough hard hititng one, but very well played.

[parkerman]

As I was saying above about the unrealistic nature of Eastenders now with no reference to the coronavirus. Mitch was able to buy toilet rolls in tonight's episode. :eek:

[lizann]

That's a tough one, if any soap is going to mention it, it would be EE, they are normally pretty good with things like that. It has already been mentioned on Holby City.

yes they usually film on the fly and add in a small scene

[Dennis tanner]

Gray spotted the hole right away but can he prove that he didn't make it ?

[Jadefalcon]

It looked like there was more than just the hole, but also some stuff about Whitney.

[lizann]

Gray spotted the hole right away but can he prove that he didn't make it ?

leo's dna prints would be in the attic if dusted

You are still not allowed to kill stalkers/ GRay still has to prove self defence.

Meanwhile Keegan is a becoming a bit of a pain.

Sharon reckons that her baby needs the best possible start in life so it's now a Taylor !!!

karen is a top mam compared to sharon and linda

[Jadefalcon]

I'd also say better with Karen than the arrogant disfunctional screw ups that are the Mitchell's.

[lizann]

I'd also say better with Karen than the arrogant disfunctional screw ups that are the Mitchell's.

caydence is a taylor not mitchell

[Dennis tanner]

karen is a top mam compared to sharon and linda

Not much competition.

[tammyy2j]

Does Mitch also live with Karen? How does her flat keep them all?

[parkerman]

Does Mitch also live with Karen? How does her flat keep them all?

Al houses and flats around Albert Square were built using the Tardis blueprints.

[lizann]

Al houses and flats around Albert Square were built using the Tardis blueprints.

like corrie

[flappinfanny]

The scenes with Denise and Sharon were excellent and Letitia Dean was outstanding.

The Bailey and Mith scenes were very powerful.

[flappinfanny]

As I was saying above about the unrealistic nature of Eastenders now with no reference to the coronavirus. Mitch was able to buy toilet rolls in tonight's episode. :eek:

As they have shut up shop now, we will never know,they won't be able to insert scenes. We should run out of episodes now we are down to 2 by mid June.

[lizann]

kat off, why? to help alfie or stacey?

callum wont get on the police force with ben by his side

[kaz21]

I’m guessing Kats speedy exit is to do with her suspension.

[flappinfanny]

It feels so long since the last episode. Welcome back.

Nice to remember the connection between Mick and Callum.

Again Letitia is putting in a fine performance.

When Jessie was suspended I did not realise she would get to record her final scene. Hopefully she will return in the Autumn with Lacey after the summer break of soaps.

[Dennis tanner]

As they have shut up shop now, we will never know,they won't be able to insert scenes. We should run out of episodes now we are down to 2 by mid June.

The three major soaps should go down to a maximum of 2 episodes a week UFN

[Dennis tanner]

kat off, why? to help alfie or stacey?

callum wont get on the police force with ben by his side

In soap world his friends and family misdeeds would be totally ignored

[Dennis tanner]

Again Letitia is putting in a fine performance.


Sorry. It's rather tedius as she is a one trick pony

[Jadefalcon]

In what way?

[lizann]

really thought chantelle would tell mitch or even hat panseer brother

[parkerman]

Why is it that in soaps, someone just has to threaten to call in social services for everyone to assume that means the baby/child in question will go into care?

Ian threatened Karen with this last night. But why would Sharon's baby be put in a foster home? There is much more chance that social services would agree to let Karen have the baby. She is his grandmother and can give a reasonably stable home. She has been a good mother to the other kids. I'm sure social services would rather the baby stayed in the family than be farmed out.

But Walford Social Services are controlled by the BBC

[lizann]

why is karen even listening to ian and then jack and callum helping ben, he is wrong un who won't change

[Dennis tanner]

In theory having a murderer as a boyfriend should not allow you into the Police Force

[parkerman]

Hooray, Keegan made my point about Social Services tonight.

[parkerman]

Does Jack actually do anything as a policeman other than look out for his family and neighbours?

[lizann]

Does Jack actually do anything as a policeman other than look out for his family and neighbours?

ben and phil nearly killed jack

[Dennis tanner]

Does Jack actually do anything as a policeman other than look out for his family and neighbours?

No. Nothing at all. The fact that he rejoined without any sort of training is a total farce.

[lizann]

No. Nothing at all. The fact that he rejoined without any sort of training is a total farce.

or no nanny childcare now

[flappinfanny]

A nice scene with Callum and Mick, I did smile at Tracey behind the bar. Brilliant scenes with Linda, Kellie Bright played that perfectly.

[lizann]

callum is way too good for ben, what a mismatch couple

is cokers doing denny's funeral for free if not whose paying ian, dot would return for sharon also so should vickie and michelle

[Dennis tanner]

callum is way too good for ben, what a mismatch couple

is cokers doing denny's funeral for free if not whose paying ian, dot would return for sharon also so should vickie and michelle

Why would they do it for free?

I thought that Young Jay was a bit scruffy and he has no gravitas whatsoever.

As expected Sharon made it all about her.

Peperami pizza . What was that all about ????

Dottie does not want any justice. She's just a nasty blackmailer

[lizann]

if not free whose paying ian

[Jadefalcon]

Why would they do it for free?
Dottie does not want any justice. She's just a nasty blackmailer

Very true, you had to laugh at her saying she doesn't like liars, coming from her, that's bloody rich. And the problem with blackmail, apart from being illegal of course is that if you give in to it once, she'll just keep hanging it over him. It won't stop there.

[Dennis tanner]

Well Phil soon talked Sharon round before going to the Police station to have his wrist slapped.

[flappinfanny]

Letitia Dean has certainly shone in recent weeks. Wait until she finds out about Ian.

[Jadefalcon]

Letitia Dean has certainly shone in recent weeks. Wait until she finds out about Ian.

On the other hand wait till she finds out what her obnoxious little wart, sorry, her perfect son did.

[parkerman]

I see the Walford police are still as appallingly hopeless as they ever were. I wonder if there is any reason why the police send all their worst officers in the country (outside Weatherfield of course) down to the EastEnd....

[flappinfanny]

The wonderful Ritchie is back, the best lawyer in soapland. Forget the dreadful Gray. :cheer:

[lizann]

sharon wants phil back

[Dennis tanner]

I see the Walford police are still as appallingly hopeless as they ever were. I wonder if there is any reason why the police send all their worst officers in the country (outside Weatherfield of course) down to the EastEnd....

How could they allow an unrequested solicitor to barge her way through the station and into an interview room? That's just daft.

Meanwhile Sharon confronts the man was responsible for the death of her husband and the death of her son but she still has the hots for him. Elsewhere Princess Karen has her choice of suitors. I am not in Team Dotty. She is a nasty blackmailer

[Dennis tanner]

The wonderful Ritchie is back, the best lawyer in soapland. Forget the dreadful Gray. :cheer:

Not that great. Anyone could advise " No comment".

What haven't the Police not charged Mitchell for destroying the boat ?

[Jadefalcon]

It's daft, she has no legal right to carry on like that if he has waived right to legal representation. The Police could quite rightfully eject her from the station for causing a disruption.

[parkerman]

It's daft, she has no legal right to carry on like that if he has waived right to legal representation. The Police could quite rightfully eject her from the station for causing a disruption.

Exactly. Also, so what if Sharon did withdraw her statement, that doesn't mean the police should automatically let Phil go? There is plenty of other evidence to hold him and charge him.

Bring back Inspector Mars Bar.

[lizann]

did the police even "investigate" just all on sharon's word, they should look for keanu

[Jadefalcon]

If nothing else, at the bare minimum, Phil should be investigated and charged with unlawful possession and discharge of a firearm and illegal possession of live ammunition. All potentially serious charges.

We are supposed to regard the Mitchells as victims

[parkerman]

We are supposed to regard the Mitchells as victims

Just like the Beales were when they allowed Max to go to prison.

[flappinfanny]

Not that great. Anyone could advise " No comment".

indeed they can, but it is the way she does it darling!

[Dennis tanner]

Just like the Beales were when they allowed Max to go to prison.

That really really annoyed me and they have never been punished for it

[lizann]

That really really annoyed me and they have never been punished for it

phil and sharon was also involved, phil got a juror to make sure max guilty, phil never pays

[tammyy2j]

The sooner both Linda and Mick leave the pub the better for me

How is Ben and Phil free?

[Dennis tanner]

The sooner both Linda and Mick leave the pub the better for me

The influence of the BBC !!!

[Jadefalcon]

As mentioned, Phil should be up on firearms charges at the very least, and potentially reckless endangerment, assault etc. They could probably hold him on suspicion of other charges and maybe lock that interfering crooked lawyer Richie up as well as she never seems to have any other clients.

agreed !!!

[lizann]

arrest again for innocent keegan and phil (not innocent but free) subtly saying to callum to keep ben do not join the police

[flappinfanny]

Nice scenes with Phil and Callum. I like Kush with Kat's kids and Charlie's Angels was a hoot. Shirley was very funny. Ruby was excellent tonight putting Leo's mum in her place.

[Dennis tanner]

arrest again for innocent keegan and phil (not innocent but free) subtly saying to callum to keep ben do not join the police

We didn't see everything that Keegan did but I have no doubt he did enough to get arrested.

Whitney never seems to learn from her past mistakes

Vinny was crap at being a DJ. His sounds were crap and I cannot see him being able to persuade people to do The Timewarp and similar

[parkerman]

We didn't see everything that Keegan did but I have no doubt he did enough to get arrested.



Yes we did and he didn't do anything; he and Tiff had only just arrived.

[kaz21]

We clearly saw it was someone else who through the brick. They just assumed it was Keegan.

[lizann]

keegan ran and the copper saw a black youth run after a brick was thrown so "guilty"

[parkerman]

is it just me, or is Eastenders getting very tedious at the moment? I can't think of one current storyline that I have any real interest in.

[lizann]

shirley still wants phil

[Dennis tanner]

shirley still wants phil

She is very welcome to him.

Meanwhile the Walford Police are wondering which side Jack is on.

[Jadefalcon]

Keegan Kayden Butcher-Baker? What is it with the hyphenated names now, they sound like they're trying to collect more names than the Royal Family.

[parkerman]

Keegan Kayden Butcher-Baker? What is it with the hyphenated names now, they sound like they're trying to collect more names than the Royal Family.
I hope if Keegan and Tiff have any children they will grow up to marry someone called candlestickmaker.

[lizann]

did karen joke about keegan getting arrested for assault at 14, not always an innocent boy, his knife fight robbery lead to shaky death too but think the copper just needs a culprit not keen to investigate

[flappinfanny]

Lovely scenes with Kush and Tommy and from Steve McFadden and Linda Henry. I really hope we don't get Phil and Sharon back in the Vic. I don't think Mick and Linda will go in the end and I doubt Danny Dyer would be too happy with his character not being the landlord. Where would Mick and Linda fit in the square?

[Dennis tanner]

Keegan Kayden Butcher-Baker? What is it with the hyphenated names now, they sound like they're trying to collect more names than the Royal Family.

It's a very silly.

[flappinfanny]

I did laugh at Stuart and Rainie. Their faces were a picture when they realised Rainie needs to get a divorce. An odd couple but it works, this is down to Tanya and Ricky. I hope we seen Cora back for the wedding.

[lizann]

yes whit please do leave, ive had enough of her downtrodden drama

[Dennis tanner]

I don't. I don't want to see that nasty piece of work ever again.

[lizann]

who has abi? no talk of the baby in a while

[flappinfanny]

I don't. I don't want to see that nasty piece of work ever again.

I would rather have Cora than some of the blithering idiots in the other soaps. Ann Mitchell is a class act.

[Dennis tanner]

I don't have a problem with Ann Mitchell. It's Cora I have a problem with. Awful woman.

Poor Whitney. She will never be allowed happiness in Walford. She need to transfer to another soap.

[tammyy2j]

Do we know where Kat went?

[Dennis tanner]

Do we know where Kat went?
The Kattery ?

[flappinfanny]

I agree Cora is an awful woman, she is meant to be. She does have a softer side, look at the support she gave to Denise.

Perhaps Whitney could move to Weatherfield and work at Underworlds sewing, scrap that they don't sew the knickers there any more it is out sourced, they just pack 'em. Perhaps whit could pull a pint in the Rovers, they are always looking for barmaids and it is so easy to find employment in Weatherfield, the world is her oyster (eccles cake)

[lizann]

if sharon is off to michelle'S why does karen and kaydence have to leave

[Dennis tanner]

That all sounds good to me

[flappinfanny]

The positives from Mondays episode, nice scenes with Lola and Callum, also the Denise and Linda scenes were well played. EE do pub/party sceens better than most soaps.

[Dennis tanner]

But the crowd scenes in EE are usually so false.

[parkerman]

I think the best scene was Winston and Shrimpy talking on a park bench in the Square - shame it was only in the background.

[lizann]

no bouncers at rubys club to stop drug dealers

leo's mother knew he abused others before whitney

[Dennis tanner]

I think the best scene was Winston and Shrimpy talking on a park bench in the Square - shame it was only in the background.

I can't stand Winston. He's also a poor actor.

The Carters paid One million pounds for that pub. How could Mitchell still afford to pay for it in cash ?

Peter " Bobby killed my twin sister and nearly killed my step mother. He's a good kid" ...Unbelievable.

[Dennis tanner]

no bouncers at rubys club to stop drug dealers

Ruby's father was Billy Murray. That must make her Ruby Murray

[parkerman]

I can't stand Winston. He's also a poor actor.

Well Winston may be a poor actor, but then he is a stallholder, so not into acting. Ulric Browne on the other hand is universally acknowledged to be the finest actor ever to set foot on the Eastenders set. It's not even up for discussion.

[flappinfanny]

But the crowd scenes in EE are usually so false.not compared to say Coronation St there not!

[flappinfanny]

I can't stand Winston. He's also a poor actor.

As far as a supporting artist go he is pretty good, we don't seem to know Coronaiton St and Emmerdal's supporting artists as well. Do they have them? I know in Crossroads they would not let the supporting artists (extra's) talk as they had to pay them more. May be it is a budget thing with the ITV soaps? EastEnders have Winston, Shrimpy, Tracey and Marie.

My mistake. I was confusing Winston with Patrick's new 'son'

[tammyy2j]

I did enjoy the scenes with Linda and Phil and also Chantelle and Kheerat Panesar

[Dennis tanner]

Daft question of the episode, " Is Patrick my dad?"....When someone has a dad, they always know who he is.

[Perdita]

Daft question of the episode, " Is Patrick my dad?"....When someone has a dad, they always know who he is.

No they do not .. I know I have a dad but do not know who or where he is --

[parkerman]

No they do not .. I know I have a dad but do not know who or where he is --

Absolutely, Perdy. There are many many people who don't know who their father is and even when they meet him, they still do not know. Like you, Perdy, I speak from real life experience.

[lizann]

whitney should have had leo's mother arrested instead of being smitten with gray

linda wanting phil as a sponsor not sure that's good

[Timalay]

Do we know where Kat went?

I was wondering that also. Just looked into it, and Jessie Wallace was suspended for two months, for drinking on the set.

[lizann]

do chantelle get a battering from gray again

[parkerman]

I was wondering that also. Just looked into it, and Jessie Wallace was suspended for two months, for drinking on the set.
Yes, funnily enough, I had the same thought. I knew Jessie Wallace had been suspended, but I couldn't remember how they had actually written Kat out for the time being, so I looked it up on Wikipedia and all it says is, "Kat is contacted by an unknown person for help and briefly leaves Walford." Hmmmm....

[Dennis tanner]

No they do not .. I know I have a dad but do not know who or where he is --

That's your father. He's not your dad.

[lizann]

when did stacey and jean fall out?

[tammyy2j]

I do not think drugging Jean is the best way to help her

Why is Kush not calling Kat or Stacey about Jean, Mo is no help

I do enjoy Rainie and Stuart together, they actors work so well together in their scenes, great chemistry

[flappinfanny]

I am loving Jean right now, I loved it when she tore into Gray. "He's a rubbish lawyer." So true. I am not sure Kush and Shirley are doing the right thing.

Peter has come back a complete creep. I loved the reference to Max being buried alive. The Ben and Phil scenes were good, but come on EE Barry Grant could have knocked seven shades of you know what out of Phil.

[Jadefalcon]

There's been too many times someone could have knocked seven shades out of fat, old, unhealthy Phil, but apparently he's Krays and Michael Corleone all rolled into one.

[Dennis tanner]

I like Jean but she irritates me.

I loath Mitch and he also irritates me. He wants Jack to risk his job just to get a result a bit quicker

[Dennis tanner]

It looks like Jack is in trouble. Meanwhile. Callum appears to have started work as a Police officer without any initial training which is normally a residential training course

[parkerman]

Why didn't Jack just take the memory stick back?

[lizann]

keegan can be his own worse enemy at times

[kaz21]

I don’t blame Keegan for doing it. Far to many time footage “mysteriously” disappears.

[parkerman]

I don’t blame Keegan for doing it. Far to many time footage “mysteriously” disappears.

I agree. Anyway, I don't see what the problem is, nor why they should all wait. The video is proof. The police should have exonerated Keegan straight away. What's with all this having to wait nonsense?

[lizann]

I don’t blame Keegan for doing it. Far to many time footage “mysteriously” disappears.

that is true

[Dennis tanner]

Can't understand why EE is not on Thursdays. They should be on Tuesdays and Thursdays when there is no competition from ITV

[kaz21]

I agree, I always said should be more spread out in the week x

[flappinfanny]

I think the reasoning behind it is Monday and Tuesday follow each other and Hollyoaks takes the same pattern, but Tuesday and Thursday would be better.

[lizann]

there is no soaps on thursdays

[flappinfanny]

Habiba P I . :)

I just love Denise right now. Ben will never learn. Poor Callum. So where is the Keegan storyline heading?

[flappinfanny]

Suki is superb and more than a match for Shirley. If I were Jack i would throw Keegan out on his ear and Kush is far too good for the Slater family, Jean has done him a favour. Run, run run. Let Jean and Mo pick up the pieces. Kush owes them diddly squat!

[lizann]

did jean kick out mo and the kids too?

[Dennis tanner]

did jean kick out mo and the kids too?

It will not be for very long.

[parkerman]

Can someone explain to me the point of Max selling his share of the restaurant to Ian? How much has Ian paid him for it and won't Rainie be entitled to half of that in any divorce settlement? What has this achieved?

[lizann]

max signed it over temporay no payment but think ian will keep not sign back

[parkerman]

max signed it over temporay no payment but think ian will keep not sign back

If that is the case, then it is complete nonsense and will not stand up as it will be seen just as a device to avoid paying Rainie and will be laughed out of court.

[Dennis tanner]

If that is the case, then it is complete nonsense and will not stand up as it will be seen just as a device to avoid paying Rainie and will be laughed out of court.

It will be acceptable in Walford court but I agree that Beale is not to be trusted

[Jadefalcon]

Gods help me, that whole discussion with Phil in the cafe talking about his reputation. Remind me, he's not Al Capone, the Kray Twins or Pablo Escobar, he's an aging,fat ex alcoholic with a dodgy garage.

[Dennis tanner]

Why did they need to talk about their crimes in the cafe when they could have talked about them in private at Phil's house ?

it gets worse as jean tries to seduce phil soon

[parkerman]

Why did they need to talk about their crimes in the cafe when they could have talked about them in private at Phil's house ?

Yes, I did think that myself. However, I assume Phil didn't want to speak at home because Ben and Halfwit live there. However, anywhere other than a public cafe (apart from the Queen Vic) would have been better.

[Perdita]

Why did they need to talk about their crimes in the cafe when they could have talked about them in private at Phil's house ?

Because really private and confidential stuff needs to be discussed in a public place where others can overhear and see you talk together ... soapland rules!!!

[parkerman]

It occurred to me tonight that if Phil and Ben had been around in the 1950s and 60s, we would never have heard of the Krays because surely they would have been like quivering jellies in the face of the mighty Mitchells.

[flappinfanny]

I have this feeling the Carters won't leave the Vic? I don't know why Kush does not tell Jean to wind her neck in and refuse to leave the house. Job done! Perhaps Jean would dob him into the police. I'm glad Suki got her cardy back. Sharon looks like a tangerine.

[Dennis tanner]

So Jack is allowed back into the Police after a gap of many many years but is allowed allowed in Albert Square apart from yesterday

Halfwit is in the Police but has not been required to attend a training course

Martin is now a doorman without any qualification, experience or licence

[parkerman]

Wow! Great piece of imaginative scriptwriting tonight. Karen burning the dinner in the oven. How do they think these things up and why hasn't that ever been done before?

[lizann]

disco ball jean trying to seduce beetroot man while tangerine sharon is back

[Dennis tanner]

I have never had much time for Keegan but now I discover that his food van had no insurance. I am totally disgusted.

[Jadefalcon]

Personally I'm in two minds about Keegan, it's wrong the way he was treated but the way he continually went on at Jack after he stuck his neck out and his continual attitude is tiring.

[lizann]

why is stacey ignoring jean?

[flappinfanny]

Phil's face was a picture with Jean. Also Max you dirty dog, good on Ruby.

[Jadefalcon]

I really thought it was funny Ruby turning it round on Max. Max is like Phil, you really don't get how they seem to get all the women because it's certainly not their striking personalities either.

[Dennis tanner]

I really thought it was funny Ruby turning it round on Max. Max is like Phil, you really don't get how they seem to get all the women because it's certainly not their striking personalities either.

I disagree. Max is far more like Den Watts.

[parkerman]

Well that was a half hour of my life I'm never going to get back.

Tonight's episode must surely be a very strong contender for the most ridiculous episode ever broadcast in any soap ever. The only bright spot was hearing Winston singing.

[Dennis tanner]

Did young Mitchell pay for that bottle he drank? He and his father are both very nasty characters. EE should get rid of both of them.

[Jadefalcon]

Those "subtitles' were damned annoying.

If we're going to get entire episodes of distorted speech, warbling high pitched noises, I'm stopping watching, that was annoying after 10 minutes.

Oh FFS, we're meant to believe fat alcoholic unhealthy Phil can overpower multiple younger, stronger fitter guys.

This is a bad joke

I didn't mind the view from Ben's perspective a problem. It was your third paragraph that was just so ridiculous.

[Jadefalcon]

I didn't mind the view from Ben's perspective a problem. It was your third paragraph that was just so ridiculous.

Care to say how the third paragraph was ridiculous.

Phil always seems to come out on top when in any sane world he would be beaten to a pulp. The only bit that was innacurate was alcoholic, it should be ex-alcoholic. We're talking about someone that's had multiple health issues against people younger and generally fitter than himself.

Yes, I meant I was agreeing with you. The whole idea of Phil and Ben being able to get the better of those three young thugs was ridiculous beyond belief.

[Jadefalcon]

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Why everytime I hear Phil and Ben am I thinking Bill and Ben. :)

[lizann]

max dumped haha
