I don't get why Mark looked like he just stepped out of Grease. That hair and those clothes made him look like a relic from the 70's. Whoever decided that was the look to go for should be fired.
Tell Me More Tell Me More :p Sorry could not resist
Yes he looked like he was playing Danny in a Grease production
Maybe they were trying to make him look like the original Mark Fowler.. he also had his hair gelled and curled in front and wore a leather jacket
Well it was clearly Lady Di after the opening of tonight's episode.
I really can't with Johnny anymore. Why did they even bring him back? He's so useless smh. And Ted Reilly cannot act. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but this reads miscast all over.
les secret now out but has babe truly changed
les secret now out but has babe truly changed
Doubt it .. she is scared right now but I don´t think she has regrets about her previous actions :nono:
Babe can start by paying back the three grand to Les and Pam, I doubt that's going to happen.
I'm glad to hear the Les and Pam blackmail story is over. I hated the cruelty of Babe bullying them so much I stopped watching EE. Maybe I'll be tempted back again soon...

Sylvia left Sonia's house to run over at night and lock Babe in the freezer of the pub and back to Sonia's house again, she was able to remember where to go and back all on her own :searchme:
Did Claudette spend the night with Patrick while Kush was there also with Denise at same house?
It is shame no scenes of Dean at his trial
Kamil is young to be left home alone, that is bad from Masood :angry:

Why was nobody appalled at Masoods actions leaving Kamil alone in the house, how old is he, 5? Simply scandalous and even more so for not addressing this. I think it was disgraceful and a bad call on EastEnders part.
i especially thought denise would give mas a good telling off for leaving kamil

Strong performances from Danny Dyer and Linda Henry, although it feels wrong Mick calling Shirley Mum.
So Abi did it. Damn that bloody dog for saving the evil witches life. Everytime I look at Jane's face she looks like she has a nasty smell under her nose, perhaps it's Fishy Fred. Carmel is (as Mick Carter would say) doin my nut in.
Why are the Carters not making Babe pay the money back to the Cokers?
Babe is playing with fire, Abi did for the dog and tried to drown Lauren in a fit of anger and Babe is messing now with a couple who could easily get rid of a corpse that Abi creates :ninja:
The off screen prosecution of Dean is lamentable, did the actor turn down the role or was he just not asked to do it?

When Matt di Angelo left EE he reckoned the role of Dean had caused him to be emotionally drained and ill. So whether this made any difference to the current situation,? Agree would have been good to see him in court.

so bk lied about dean comeuppance satisfying ending and justice for linda
Not exactly. He is going to prison for the attempted rape of Roxy, and the courts know about Linda so no doubt that will be used against him at the trial, and he will be inside for a long time, so he is getting justice at least (especially if what I've heard about how rapists are treated in prison is true). Plus everyone knows now that he did do it to Linda, because of what happened to Roxy. The only problem is, the police don't have any hard evidence that he did rape Linda, so the cops unfortunately can't put him away for Linda's rape.

Looks like I spoke too soon. So much for justice! I hope Dean at least got hell during his time in prison.
I just don't get it though. Di Angelo has said that he has no plans to return to EE for now, so why the hell didn't they just let Dean stay in there and rot for the next few years???

This is just so stupid! I mean, I get that the studio wanted to make a point that not all rapists are successfully convicted, but we already went through this the first time when Dean got arrested for Linda's rape but was never convicted.
But for christ's sake! Dean attacked and tried to drown Shirley, he ran away from police, he had already been accused of Linda's rape, and had been in prison before... What more could the courts want??? You can't honestly tell me that if something like that happened in real life, then the courts would just let him go?!

I doubt it? EastEnders have worked very closely with Rape Crisis. Obviously the wrong verdict for Dean but sadly this is too true to life which is very depressing.
I wonder if this may have a bearing in Kellie Bright's exit storyline from the show?

I am not a fan of montagues in soaps, they only really work well in Hollyoaks, but I did think in this episode it was very cleverly done and it worked.
Strong performances from the women, it was well written, well acted and the tension built nicely through out. Nice mention of EastEnders past with Kathy and willmott Brown.
When Matt di Angelo left EE he reckoned the role of Dean had caused him to be emotionally drained and ill. So whether this made any difference to the current situation,? Agree would have been good to see him in court.
I wish him well, no job is worth that kind of emotional damage...
Re Linda... alas she did everything wrong, but her role was sort of spot on for a victim in denial but it meant Dean never got a conviction so couldn't be seen as a bad person so the court were told he was of good character pre this alleged offence. The fact this whole sequence was never acted out makes it all a bit vague and inconclusive to the viewer, but then thats soaps.

No. Just remembered; Shirley didn't say Dean tried to kill her. They did that because Shirley was still harbouring feelings of guilt, and because Dean would suffer more in prison if he was in just for rape. Apparently murderers, or at least attempted murderers, get more respect/fear in prison than rapists do.

So, the story so far....
No legal repercussions for Ian and Jane for perverting the course of justice and knowingly sending an innocent man to prison.
Dean's rape of Linda not enough evidence; attempted rape of Roxy found not guilty
Babe's blackmail of Pam and Les seemingly to go legally unpunished.
Proving that in Walford crime DOES pay.
I feel sorry for Winston living in such a lawless community with no legal redress.

You'll be glad to hear parkerman that I've read SOC strongly believes that soap characters' crimes shouldn't go unpunished. It's not long since he took over so EE is still using DTC's storylines at the moment, but hopefully SOC will have a different attitude to the characters' transgressions.
I too am fuming to hear Dean got off. Apparently Rape Crisis have praised the show for being realistic. I certainly respect their viewpoint as experts, and know from the experience of someone close to me that rapists rarely get their just desserts. However, it just feels all wrong somehow, and I can't help but think such a pessimistic end to the story will deter some victims from reporting their rapes who otherwise would have.
I've just remembered that Dean also committed other crimes, including attempted arson of the Vic and attempted murder of Shirley. If they wanted to keep to the "rapists usually go unpunished" narrative, couldn't he at least have been imprisoned for one of his other crimes? At least that would have made for a satisfying end for viewers.

The scenes with Jay and Billy were the best thing about the episode. I want to punch Shakil every time I see him. Linda Henry is just brilliant at comedy, her timing is bang on and her dead pan face just makes me smile. I thought Marky Mark was going to poop his pants.
Is Masood going to leave? I do hope so. I just love Sylvie, so brilliantly played by Linda Marlowe. I don't have a lot of time for Sonia, but even I feel sorry for her. Tina is taking the pee, useless and basically a leach. Sonia, you can do so much better, get rid.

Tina just winds me up more by the episode. A lazy scrounging Carter. Now DTC has left I wonder how much a part the Carters will play in EastEnders. I hope we get them in the background more, just serving drinks in the vic. They could actually get rid of Tina, that will be another Carter gone. For what Johnny has done, what was the point in bringing the character back? It comes to something when you want Kat and Alfie back running the Vic.

Why does Jane pull so many faces? If there had been an olympic event for face pulling, Lesley Jane would have won an Olympic gold Medal.
The Carters are winding me up by the episode, Mick and Tina especially. I actually feel sorry for Sylvie being lumbered with that family. It's only poor Sonia who really cares. Tina is just a waste of space, she wastes the air she breathes.

I don't think SOC likes the Carters, they seem to be more oafish and slobbish of late, the only carter I like is Shirl. She stays the same no matter what, a miserable cow with a face that could stop a clock and the constant look of a bulldog chewing a wasp. I even like her greasy, smelly look. I think she should do the ad for Garnier instead of Davina and Holly. If you don't use Garnier this is what you could look like. :eek:

I had a feeling we were gonna have a storyline where Mark and Courtney might end up a couple or have a one-night stand or something. They had a similar storyline in Doctors once. I couldn't believe that was Sharon and Ian's big plan; getting Mark a ticket and telling him to go home. Did they seriously think that would work??? Did it not occur to them that he might actually say no? I hope this is one storyline they're not gonna drag out.
Denise will apparently tell Kush the truth next week, which isn't a surprise, as she can't keep it a secret considering how far along she is. I bet she's dreading telling everyone who the real daddy is though.

Just caught up on the weeks episodes. Great performances from Les and Pam, the scene where Pam kissed Paul was very moving.
Jane has got a nerve, imo smug and selfish. I think the whole nation rose and cheered when Grant smacked Ian. Loved his glasses falling off his face, that punch looked real and not staged. :clap:
It was lovely to see Colin again and reminisce about early EastEnders. I thought it was quite clever how they had Colin talking to Johnny in the Vic. I am glad Dot went to the wedding.
Bye bye Jay? I doubt it.
I must admit I am not a huge fan of Grant, but this visit has been better than I thought and some nice scenes with Phil and also Courtney and Mark Junior. I wonder if Mark will make a reappearance. I hope so. I did enjoy Thursday's episode. I don't blame the Beeb getting their money's worth out of Ned Porteous, it would be rude not to. :wub::p:love:
All in all a good week of episodes.

Another good "normal" episode, loved Phil and Ben watching tv, having biscuits out of the biscuit tin and a low key duff duff, which I liked. I hope we have more of these types of episodes, it makes a refreshing change. It may be too early to say but I think SOC may be stamping his mark on the show, a promising start.

The only reason Mick was slagging Sonia off was that Sylvie might be dumped on him and he might end up nursing his Gran. Also he might be lumbered with his Aunt who is a waste of space, I mean what is the point of Tina? Poor Zsa Zsa.
Liked Denise's scenes at college and Carmel made me smile tonight.

Oh wow yes of course it was her,thanks FF.
Since when does a darts night need a ref?? Then again the only time you have more than two players throwing is at the end of the night when youre playing for another trophy just for a bit of fun. Its played so the useless players not used in the match get to do something and feel part of the team.
Mick.. how dare Sonia not give free room and care to his Nan anymore...shame Sonia didnt confront them on the issue, they were the ones that took nan front the NHS care system which is brilliant.

As some of you know I have given up on Eastenders after Ian and Jane escaped any sort of prosecution for their part in getting Max banged up. It certainly didn't do anything to entice me back when Dean got off in spite of DTC's previous promise that he would eventually get his comeuppance.
So, can someone who is still watching tell me what's happening about Babe's blackmail of Pam and Les? Has she been arrested yet? When's the trial? Thank you.
nothing has happened babe, no money paid back to les

I am actually enjoying EastEnders again now. I love the normal, natural dialogue, the scenes with Lauren and Whitney were very good. The episode was good from start to finish. A few funny moments like Kim throwing her burnt toast in the street and as for Sonia, brilliant. Just brilliant. "And I hope she bites you" will go down in EastEnders history. :rotfl: This is the feisty Sonia I remember standing up to Pauline.
Some good performances from Les and Pam, raw emotion, you could feel it. Linda Marlowe as Sylvie is just perfect in everyway. And another normal duff duff. If this continues I think EastEnders is going to go from strength to strength, early days, we will see.

Again I loved the normality of this episode. Who says you need big storylines? What you do need are good scripts, with good acting and believable storylines, character driven and EastEnders this week is moving in the right direction.
I enjoyed the scenes with Jane and Lauren and a nice mention of Tania. The scenes again with Les and Pam were very good, Roger Sloman was excellent. I liked Sonia's low key exit and was pleased they didn't use the Julia Theme, with all the exits coming up I hope they only use it on a handful of occasions.
A shame we are losing Roger Sloman and Lin Blakley but in away with the storyline it would make sense for Les and Pam to move on to start afresh.
So why didnt Linda ask Les why he hated Babe? She cant be that thick that she hasnt clocked all the vile things she has done like selling babies etc and wanting to deal ganja from the pub or is her character really that dim? But then she is part of the how dare Sonja dump Tina who will look after thingy now crew.
The teenage cast need to be quietly led out of the back door and there security access to the set revoked, it would be kindest thing to do, manly for us the viewers sake.

The Coker scenes were the highlight for me, I will miss Les and Pam when they depart. The scenes with Billy were very moving.
Kathy is a tart. It comes to something when Shirley has more morals than the knitting queen Kathy. Lou will be spinning in her grave.

Yeah scum having fake or stolen stickers is a problem, when you have a disability like mine that isnt immediately definable by an onlooker some can get very very confrontational. The main issue is the onlooker looks at the able bodied driver not the passenger in most cases who needs able bodied bod to get them around hence the sticker which is only in use when they are in the car.
Just wish they would put the poor lady in a nice NHS home and stop torturing themselves and her thinking they know best.

Fridays episode has got to be one of the best episodes I have seen in along time. Well written, well acted, a bit of everything, it was funny, sad and it worked. Boy did it work. I am glad they kept Pat's bar. So iconic.
Poor Dot, I just wanted to give her a big hug. SOC gets EastEnders so much more than DTC ever did. If Julia and Tony are watching from their cloud in the sky they would be happy with that episode. A good end to the week, nothing dramatic, just good quality, character driven continuing drama. Will it last? I doubt it, but lets enjoy it for now and praise the lord no murders, stunts or shootings for now anyway.

Ah but the dichotomy is that Abi is the younger mirror image of Babe, Abi tried to drown her sister, covered up what she thought was a murder scene, then sold Max out for her love of Ben who she knew was gay but thought she could change him. Plus watch out dogs when she steals a car.
So its going to be a battle and I dont think Babe realises quite how ruthless and remorseless Abi will be ... great concept.

Well I've watched all of last week's episodes (up to and including the one where Martin and Stacey moved into Pat's old house) and I must admit I enjoyed them - particularly the last two. There's a really nice back to basics feel with some pleasant community spirit and - dare I say it - even some fun at the moment.

Linda is coming across strong and straight to the point which I also like. SOC is shaping the show into how he wants it. Interesting times for EastEnders fans.

I don't feel as strongly about Ian and Jane as you, but I do hope Max will make them (and everyone else involved) pay in spectacular style.
Something I was reassured to read about SOC was that he doesn't believe in letting villains off the hook. The trouble is DTC has left what feels like half the cast as villains - with seemingly no concern for the future credibility of the show. We know quite a few cast members are going - many of them characters who have committed heinous deeds - so SOC might be trying to "clean up" the cast. The trouble is that characters like Ian, Jane, Phil and Sharon (who were all up to their necks in letting Max go down) are harder to get rid of...

I think given her previous work with youths she is more compassionate and wants a reason for Paul's death and thought speaking to one of the killer's parents she could try to understand why and ask not to drag out a trial by pleading guilty which they are not as they pleading not guilty
did pam really think the killers mother would not side with her son
I can't say for sure what I'd do in those circumstances, but I'd like to think I'd have sided with Pam if a child of mine did something so heinous. I'd still love them of course but would want to see them punished for their actions.

A really lovely episode, it was well written, it had a good community feel about it. All the characters interacted so well, it is quite amazing that this show has changed in less than a month. It won't delight or appeal to the DTC twitter brigade who want flash, bang, wallop and gangster in their soap.
There was some lovely touches tonight. The scenes with Sharon and Ben, Lee and Whitney and the ending was just perfect, Pam smiling and waving at Johnny made me cry, it was just so right and a mini Julias theme at the end, a happy Julia's theme. :)
I am so happy with this show right now I keep thinking how long will this last?
So is that goodbye to the Corkers? They played Julias theme as they walked towards the arches ? Was that just for Paul or for all of the Corkers?

You may well be right, ff, but is Mr O'Connor going to do anything about Jane and Ian? Perhaps when Max comes back? Until then, I will still have to take your word for it that it's getting better....

Just caught up.
A good episode - mixture of feelings - frustrating that Masood thinks he can wriggle out of a tenancy, but happy that an easy end to court for the Cokers.
is lee wedding to whitney soon as she had her hen do and no invite for abi and babe, shirley babysitting sylvie

Billy can hire someone to look after the administration side of the Coker funeral business or get Honey to help, Pam helped Les

Witney's quick storyline was a bit of a shock.
I did notice Linda had something in front of her in every shot almost. Walking in with the baby gift bag, then a big ball of wool, and then a very flouncy top to hide her own bump.
proud dot but what little ricky did was sweet

That was the first time I've seen Ricky: what an absolute sweetheart! How did that happen with Sam Mitchell bringing him up? :eek:
Dot's offence that a little kid might think her a charity case was funny - especially the comment about farms and spaghetti hoops - but also poignant because she is lonely as Ricky suspected. :(
Sad about the miscarriage. I imagine that, along with Whitney fleeing, will have a devastating effect on Lee's mental health .:(

It really is such a shame the Cokers are leaving, Pam scenes with Ben were lovely and I am glad finally some healing between him and Abi, both apologising
The Cokers with Billy and his family seem such a good natural fit, all a family
Ricky was adorable
Ben already on a hook up site, very disrespectful of Paul

I would be quite happy if Ian and Jane decided to move to pastures new to start again, to be near Bobby and his borstal or whatever it is called. They are completely ruined and there is no way back for them sadly. DTC strikes again. :(

Just caught up with Monday and Tuesday's EastEnders. Just love Richard Ricky. The chemistry between him and Jack is brilliant and the scenes with Jack, Ronnie and the two kids seemed very natural. I lol'd at Ronnie impersonating Dot with the Spaghetti hoops. :D
A couple of months ago I couldn't stand or careless about Whitney and Lee, it's amazing what some good writing can do. The acting by both characters was good and I actually felt a lot of sympathy towards the couple.
Lovely comedy scenes with Denise and Kim, Kim's none reaction to Denise discussing her book was priceless.
Also a nice touch with Kush asking if Lee was ok in the Vic. If EastEnders was a school report, it would read "SOC Keep up the good work."

Hope the powers that be at EE have a rethink and bring back the Cokers albeit for extended vists. The accommodation is readily available , don't think Billy, Honey and the kids will want to live on site.
jay homeless, burt didn't want him?
The following is a comment from the Radio Times website about tonight's episode which I found amusing and very apt. It's slightly spoilery so I've put in tags just in case.
Les and Pam are one of those EastEnders couples who arrive as symbols of unity and contentment and leave as broken, desiccated husks. Just what is it about living in Albert Square that means you end up with your spirit smashed and your life in tatters? :lol:

Yes at one stage ,but what Pam said to Babe I think had more effect , really hit the spot.
It's very sad to see the Cokers go, but at least they had a lovely send off. Characters who've only been around a couple of years don't usually get so much fuss made of them (by the square or the EE team) which has mollified me a little.
I like Glen's idea of them coming back for short visits since they still own the funeral parlour. I'm hoping SOC takes on board the dismay a lot of fans have expressed at their leaving and decides to bring them back for the occasional visit.

A little behind with EastEnders this week, just caught Thursdays. A lovely script by Darren Little. The scenes with Pam and Jay were very good, nice comic touches with Denise and Kim in the Minute Mart.
I would love to know what the crack is with Peter and Steven. A lovely ending to the episode with Jay and Ben.

Spot on, but it seemed to be half the theme, I presumed it was just for Paul!
So it looks like Stephen is going full evil now Lauen didnt say she loved him. well hes already nicked all the money and his bothers women so what does he care really.. He took janes furtilty now hes taking her cash who could see that coming :moonie::moonie:
Babe and Pam .. seriously? Babe would of laughed in her face.. or just twisted it that they had screwed ill kid out of their money. I mean thats what vile coves do, I know Im related to one. :cartman:

Honey's face was a picture when asked to touch up the bodies at the funeral parlour. A lovely episode to say goodbye to Pam and Les, They will be missed, although they have only been in the show for a short time, it feels they have been there for years. Another good script from Daran Little.

Nice scenes with Dot and Kim in the Laundrette. It is nice to see a more serious side to Kim, it makes her a more rounded character. Nice to see Jay working at the funeral parlour. Billy was great tonight. The writing was good again, an unsual duff duff, but it will be interesting to see if anything comes of it with William. Is there going to be more bullying from Dennis?

After a string of good solid episodes this seemed be a bit under whelming. But I would have underwhelming under SOC everytime, than the tosh served up under DTC.
Dot driving a smart car amused me for some reason. I am liking Sharon more and more, I also liked the Belinda and Carmel scenes, also it was nice to see the Carters be happy and normal, reminds me of how they were when they first arrived. It was interesting to see that Arthur was mentioned tonight. I wonder if Dot will ever find out? It looks like we may have a bullying storyline with William and Denny. Denny is a real little ****, he needs a good punch. Go on William smack him again.

Talking of rubbish, I missed the beginning of the storyline: what's the deal with it not being collected?
Kim well annoys me, she has no licence no insurance no understanding of wrong doing yet she gets away with it and never learns. Id of narked her her up to the rozzers. (makes me chuckle the actress who plays kim must of arranged loads of time off to rehearse her dancing for Strictly, but then got the boot on show one bless her)
Yeah Dots had that smart car a while now, the woodie probably went the same way as Alfies s Ford Capri or maybe its the one Roy now drives in Corrie.

Surely not? I can't believe someone has broken the law in Eastenders and just gets away with it. I don't think that has ever happened before.....:nono:

The BBC are currently under such heavy scrutiny from those who'd like to get rid of it that they'd be silly to break the rules, especially in such an obvious way. The Daily Fail would be shouting triumphantly from the rooftops if anyone suspected such a thing!
I'm not really sure why Dot's car is likely to be product placement any more than, say, Mick's Mitsubishi or Phil's Jaguar...
She used to have a morris minor traveller.
