All I have to say on tonight's episode is well done Billy!

I do agree that Billy had every right to be angry with Little Mo, but I can't help feeling sorry for her, she's lost Alfie and now Billy. I'm not sure what to think about Billy washing his hands of Freddie, I really thought he was warming to the idea of being his father. Billy's very hurt at the moment but I hope he will come round in time.

It's easier for soaps to keep babies in the background, it saves hassle. But speaking from a characters point of view, I do think Little Mo does the best she can for Freddie, she works to get money for him, and luckily she's got family to babysit and things, so there's always somewhere he can go. Little Mo is supposed to be portrayed as being a good mother.

I'm glad that Billy stood up for himself and his feelings, those shouldn't be dismissed.

I don't think Eastenders is back to it's best yet...there is no continuity!! We had a great week last week, but so far this week, it has been dull and boring!! I bet lots more people watched Emmerdale, cos it was on for an hour, and it was the culmination of a major storyline. Eastenders never give us any hour long specials!!

hayley

20-09-2005, 21:16

awwwwwwwwwwwww poor nana!

Go chrissie you can easily pull one over on peggy!

Jakissie scenes were sweet!!

where is kat?

After fridays fantastic eppie shes kind of just vanished!!

She was mentionaed once yesterday, saying that she'd gone to the whole salers(sp?)
But i'm sure she'll be back soon.

20-09-2005, 21:31

Today was ace!! I see Nana Moon's illness is coming up :( Did you see the way Billy and Peggy was onto Chrissie.. Watch out Chrissie!!

Today was ace!! I see Nana Moon's illness is coming up :( Did you see the way Billy and Peggy was onto Chrissie.. Watch out Chrissie!!

Yes I'm glad that Billy and Peggy have made up. It's good that Peggy is now including him in things, and I can see that the Mitchell's are beginning to unite as a 'family'.

Do you think Billy will find it difficult when he finds out about Stacey being Chrissie's alibi? If he continues down that road, Stacey and Zoe will be in deep trouble, and they are part of the Slaters and therefore part of Billy's family.

leanne27

20-09-2005, 22:18

i think bilyl will put his onw family first, as besides mo the slaters as a family have never been there for him, they only see things in black and white, when he makes one mistake no it can never be mo's fault it HAS to be billys. and i think seen as he and mo are now seperated the slaters are not really where his loyalities will lie,.

sarahwelford

20-09-2005, 23:39

i think its bit unrealistic after what happened last week that kat and mo was not in a scene together

feelingyellow

21-09-2005, 17:39

that episode was fab last night, loved how peggy and billy have FINALLY made up and now are figuring chrissie out :cheer: demi and rosie were absoloutely fab, hate those evil bullies :angry:

Debs

21-09-2005, 17:41

loved last nights ending with peggy and billy

and the start of Nanas illness storyline, im sad already

leanne27

21-09-2005, 21:04

i missed tuesdays ep, so is that all that happened? the peggy and billy stuff, nanna moon illness thing, and what happened with demi?

Kim

21-09-2005, 21:13

i missed tuesdays ep, so is that all that happened? the peggy and billy stuff, nanna moon illness thing, and what happened with demi?

The Millers found 'Junkie Slag' daubed over their wall and were determined not to let Demi see it. They sent Mickey up the hardware store to get something to shift it, but when he didn't return in time, Rosie rushed to try and get something to cover it up... but Demi was over the road and saw what had been written about her. She rushed inside and later had a heart to heart with Rosie.

leanne27

22-09-2005, 18:14

ok thanks, i feel sorry and surprised at demi, she would never of taken drugs before, i know she was desperate but, she was pretty mature for her age and should of known tht takin drugs would help no one, only make matters worse. and has anbody noticed that it never took her that long to get over leo? he was meant to be the love of her life and she (to me) she hasnt showed a very good potrayel of someone who has lost her soulmate, i think stacey slater is a much better actress, demi always talks like she has her mouth full i think! lol

.:SpIcYsPy:.

22-09-2005, 20:00

That was ace episode!! More of my thoughts coming up later!!

Jessie Wallace

22-09-2005, 20:01

One beautiful slap.

And Jim's Classic line "we should borrow Pauliene's door stop for that" Excellent, lol

littlemo

22-09-2005, 20:41

Yes the episode was o.k, but I knew what was going to happen so it took the fun out of it a bit for me. I just can't help myself from reading the spoilers.

I'm glad Peggy is finally on Sam's side, it's about time! You'd think people would be suspicious after what Peggy said wouldn't you?! but it seems people are still going to be none the wiser. Why is everybody so dumb?

Everyone who has missed Kat this week must be happy to see her again. And what she said made a lot of sense, I think Chrissie did love Den, but she has turned into a villan, and justice has to served.

Poor Dennis, he really is going through a hard time isn't he?! I think it was right for Sharon to ask him not to come, because he has to be there because he wants too, not because he feels he has too.

hayley

22-09-2005, 20:48

That was excellent!!!
Jim line was great about paulines doorstop! -classic!!
I felt sorry for sharon and dennis in that eppie.
You could see jakes cogs working, about chrissie!!!

tonights episode was brill, managed to catch it on bbc3, so glad i did to see Peggy send Chrissie into the grave was great, Chrissie deserves it

sarahwelford

22-09-2005, 23:46

i thought that was good and jims line "maybe they should use your door stop"

I agree jake is fitting all the puzzle together she made it obvious today she was hiding some thing as she never looked at the coffin and kept rolling her head

matt1378

23-09-2005, 00:06

I think Jake has Chrissie sussed out, remember he said to Chrissie that she was saying things in her sleep?

angelblue

23-09-2005, 00:09

And jake has def clocked onto chrissie i mean she made it obvious not wanting to look at the coffin and stuff

Debs

23-09-2005, 00:15

sarahwelford

23-09-2005, 00:16

brenda1971

23-09-2005, 09:19

I thought Peggy was brill last nite pushing chrissie in the grave.I was wondering when sam would tell her the truth about chrissie.

Also I am finding the sonia storyline boring what do other people think.

sarahwelford

23-09-2005, 10:40

i am also finding the sonia storyline boring who cares about nhs questionares

brenda1971

23-09-2005, 11:09

I thought that they had done the sonia storyline before with her putting her student friends before martin

parkerman

23-09-2005, 12:17

I think this is about the third time this storyline has been done...or, at least it seems like it. Yawn.

Jessie Wallace

23-09-2005, 12:19

It probably is, but it's not like it only happens once in really life, some things happen more than once in a life time. Admitedly not always to the same person!

parkerman

23-09-2005, 12:36

Yes, but this isn't real life, it's Eastenders!

Jessie Wallace

23-09-2005, 12:45

Yeah, and?!?

brenda1971

23-09-2005, 12:58

They tend to only do storylines once

Jessie Wallace

23-09-2005, 12:59

Yeah, but there are many different way's a storyline can go, so it's good, so see a different way sometimes, if you know what i mean

brenda1971

23-09-2005, 13:02

I know but I still think that the sonia storyline is boring.They need to give naomi a story to sink her teeth into.

Jessie Wallace

23-09-2005, 13:05

They need to get rid of her, i find her boring and her voice annoying, but thats just me i think!
Sonia needs a storyline, poor Natalie has been in the show for years and hardly get a word in, let alone a storyline. Yet all the newcomers or the same (high profile) characters get them.

parkerman

23-09-2005, 13:06

Yeah, and?!?

It's supposed to be entertaining. Reality TV is for real life.

Jessie Wallace

23-09-2005, 13:08

It's supposed to be entertaining. Reality TV is for real life.

Find me a soap, that does repeat storyline's and have storyline's that are true to real life, if you want a dream soap, watch american soaps, where the storyline are so unreal it's laughable.

parkerman

23-09-2005, 13:11

No, I agree it should be true to life. But what I meant was that although things might repeat themselves over and over again in real life, soaps are supposed to entertain not just copy real life. The fact that this is the third time we've been round the Sonia and her friends neglecting Martin story I don't find very entertaining.

You may be right that there will be a new angle to this time - we'll have to wait and see. But I hope they get to it quickly!

Jessie Wallace

23-09-2005, 13:14

I doubt it will get there quickly as you said this is Eastenders, but yes, we do need a new angle on things, anyway here's hoping!

Flozza

23-09-2005, 16:15

The scenes with sharon were great to great eppy welldone to everyone involved :)

xXxJessxXx

23-09-2005, 20:36

awww tonights eppy was really good! I think tonight made me relaise how much i will miss Nigel/Dennis when he leaves later this year. he#s such a loveable character and a great actor.

it was goo to see his emotions tonight, that he was dealing with in his own way. He actually brought a tear to my eye. lol. shows that dennis isnt just the hard tough man that he makes out to be, he's actually a big softy!

must be hard for him. At the end when he was upset like i've saidbefore i dont think he was upset thet fact that den died and they hated each other, not beacuse of all the things he did to him beacuse he would hate him and not want to grieve. but i think he was mainly upset beacuse for all of his life its been him and his abusive mother. he alwasy wanted a father to come and rescue him and he told vikci how he wanted to know his father nad bond wiht him. have father and son moments. i think seeing his grave etc means relaity has kicked in that his dream is now over. that den was his dad and his dreams were never really fulfiled. he can never get those dreams back nor the wishes he's longed for, for the times he wanted to spend with his father.

i think its upsetting for him that his dad has died. not that his dad den died. just that his father died. i think he would feel the same having not met den. its still a father he's lost! its was really good to see him so emotional.

Flozza

23-09-2005, 20:45

well said, that was a top class eppy, i'm gonna miss dennis too :-(, its only just before they leave that you realise how much you take them for granted xxx

_lil_hunni

23-09-2005, 20:56

Im definately gonna miss dennis:( Hes a good character and I think hes really good looking but to be honest not such a good actor. I dont know whats gonna happen to eastenders, i dont want kat,dennis,sharon,chrissie 2 leave :(

xXxJessxXx

23-09-2005, 21:00

its only just before they leave that you realise how much you take them for granted xxx

yeah i agree. last year i would have thought he'd be around for ages, that we'd always be able to watch his little bits that i like about him, his tough and sensitive side, but know he's gonna be leaving in a few months its hit me we'll never see it aagin.

He is a brilliant actor, he's won awards to prove that hasnt he? or was that just for sexiest! :wub: lol. either way he's brill. will really mis Nigek and dennis not being on our screens.

I have to say, with all this talk about the young(ish) characters, Dennis, Sharon, Sam, Chrissie, Kat etc. it always seems to be the old 'uns like Jim, Patrick, Dot and Pauline who steal the show. More oldies that's what we need!

I agree about Garry and Minty but I didn't like the episode very much. It wasn't like Eastenders at all. On the plus side I think Dawn Miller will be a welcome edition to the square, she seems like a much classier Kat, which is surprising because she comes from the same background as the rest of the Millers. It's also quite interesting to see into the Miller's history.

I like Juley. :D Thought he was the best bit of tonight.

Gus was boring, and his voice annoys me. It's just so...droney. I'm getting bored of Garry constantly warbling on about "birds" and thinking he's so fit and everything. Jesus, just give him a girlfriend and shut him up.

Dawn was alright, but I'm not really interested in this dad storyline.

Alright episode, but I'd prefer to be back in Walford. I think the timing for this week is completely off.

lol. love too see the relationship between these too. they seem quite simualr in a way. both quite independent but deep down i think they are both sensitive. they both put on an act. havcnt seen a soft sensitive side to dawn yet but i think its there deep down.

wonder if they will be close, all girly and giggly and can talk easily too each other, or will they have a distant relationship, Dawn dont get on with Keith and clearly hasnt been there for Demi like the rest of the millers have. this could put their relationship in danger.

she seemed a little concerned when mickey was telling her about them all, but not enough to keep in contact or even visit at a time like that.

BlackKat

26-09-2005, 22:20

Does Dawn know about Demi and Leo? Mickey said that Demi had had "ups and downs," recently but didn't really say anything else.

xXxJessxXx

26-09-2005, 22:26

Does Dawn know about Demi and Leo? Mickey said that Demi had had "ups and downs," recently but didn't really say anything else.

Thats what i was wondering. i mean i was thinking that Rosie would have called her and told her but if Dawn has been moving around a lot and they still thought she was in spain(Mickey said so when he got the letter) she might not have be easy to contact. i would have thought she would have come home to visit or something no matter what the relationship betwen her and demi is. when mickey said the ups and downs you would have thought dawn would have asked more questions etc. the fact that she didnt and only asked about her when mickey mentioned the baby gives me the idea maybe she doesnt know.

if she doesnt seems a little strange. and if she does it seems strange she didnt care a great deal.

she probably doesn't know about the whole drug business, but she would know that demi got pregnant, and seems a little weird that she didn't come home when demi got pregnant, because she would have known she had and little sisters would normally talk to their bigger sisters about it.

Florijo

27-09-2005, 20:36

I don't really like these episodes in France - the episodes when EE go abroad are always somewhat naff and they only really work with stronger characters. For example I loved the times when Grant and Phil went to Italy, Spain and France with some other characters. Not all the characters that went on these trips with Grant and Phil were great characters but the episodes were good because Grant and Phil were so strong as characters and the storyline and script was always generally good.

I think the problem with these episodes is that all the characters on the trip are weak and boring and the storyline and script is weak. I know these episodes are meant to be a entrance for Dawn and more backstory for the Millers but I'm sure they could have done this in a better way.

Also, I wish that EE would stop trying to do comedy like Corrie and other soaps. They just cannot do it and I think they should not have to. Every soap is different and there is nothing wrong with EE being a soap with less comedy, especially OTT comedy, than soaps like Corrie. EE has never been about OTT comedy, it has been subtle dark humor and one liners from Den, Dot and others.

I am a big EE fan and I want EE back to where it should be and I think they will if they just stop the 'hilarious' over the top comedy attempts and stick to what they do best - great drama mixed in with light hearted moments and great one liners.

Sorry about the long post, but I really don't like these episodes although Dawn seems alright, as long as a) she is nothing like Zoe Slater and b) does not become involved in a love triangle. I want her to be like Tiffany and Bianca, a strong female that knows what she wants.

I agree with you, it's crap! Episodes abroad only work with great actors, there not too bad but when it's a bad storyline it brings out the worst in them.

I'm not getting into Mike's character at all, how long ago was it that he left 'The Bill'? I haven't watched 'The Bill' for years properly, but I can't seem to see him as anything other than a policeman. This property developer thing is really dumb.

Florijo

28-09-2005, 10:14

Excuse me?

I guess you are referring to the Dan/Carol/Bianca triangle. I meant that it would be great if Dawn was a strong, independent female like Bianca (which she was even before the love triangle), and a character that did more than just have boring love triangles like the ones with Zoe/Anthony/Kat, Dennis/Sharon/Zoe and Kat/Alfie/Little Mo. There has been far too many love triangle stories that just don't seem to work and just seem to happen for the sake of it and go on for ages. I think the best love triangles have always been ones with strong females (Bianca, Cindy, Carol and Sharon (the Phil and Grant love triangle) and when it is actually credible that it would happen.

Just remembered that there was also the Bianca/Ricky/Natalie triangle as well. Anyway, I just meant that it would be great if Dawn was strong and different to the likes of Spencer, Kelly, Vicki etc, who all seemed to be very boring and bland.

Their have been lots of love triangle but ultimatley the best one ever was sharon gate pure class in my opinion and i did like the bianca/dan/carol but the rest were tedious like sharon/dennis/zoe and molfie traingle zoe wasnt needed but i dont think dawn will go down that route i hope anyway :)

Florijo

28-09-2005, 10:27

I hope not. Obviously it is likely that she will have a love interest but it would be great if Dawn had more to her life than a bloke. After Zoe and her Dennis obsession, it would be so boring.

EE abroad episodes have always been somewhat rubbish so I am not basing my judgement of EE's current form on this week. EE went from being unmissable TV in 2001 to missable TV in 2003/2004, so I expect it to take a while longer for it to hopefully return to the top.

I don't think it's necessarily the episodes themselves -- just the fact that they're completely out of place. We're in the middle of such a huge storyline, and suddenly everything's put on hold for a week. It's ridiculous.

Florijo

29-09-2005, 13:43

I was thinking that they may have done this France week now so that they could film more scenes at Elstree so that the whole cast can have some time off at Xmas. The characters that are likely to feature heavily in the next few months episodes are going to be Chrissie, Dennis, Sharon, Kat and Alfie and I remember reading in the 20th birthday book on EE that they film more scenes, usually in a foreign location, in the run up Xmas so the cast can have a Xmas break.

I agree that the timing is stupid. I personally would have preferred some scenes in France and some in Walford to balance the episodes out more.

Peggy in Spain was almost as bad as the losers in France. I don't know why the episodes are generally so bad when they go abroad.

Minty is a nice guy. I suppose the thing with him is that we haven't really seen a bad side to him. There are loads of other guys I like in EE but you couldn't really say they were genuinely nice guys, because of the things they have done.

I think Dennis is great, but because he's a murderer, and he's been in prison for GBH, he's not exactly a great role model is he lol. And Billy has been so lovely and kind to Little Mo, and I think he's great. But even he's got a history of violence. It's very difficult to pick out somebody who doesn't have a multiple personality disorder. Mark tried to rape Lisa. People can change so easily.

Florijo

30-09-2005, 00:22

Minty was a bit nasty when we first saw him as Janine's landlord (that was Minty wasn't it? :confused: ) but then he had one of those famous soap personality changes and became nice Minty, the Minty that once adored Sam but now seems to forget that she even exists :rolleyes:.

Minty is a good character though but I think they should give him a girlfriend (a long term one) and make him interact with more characters than just Garry. I think him and Garry acting the 'Men Behaving Badly' routine is a bit annoying, for me anyway.

Juley is a rubbish character and an extremely irritating actor. I can't imagine anyone warming to him. I personally couldn't care less if he's suffering or has had a rough time. I have no empathy for him whatsoever.
I always thought Gus had far more potential. Well, the actor who plays Gus anyway. There are much worse actors in EE who have been given far better storylines.

Do you think that next year EE might go to Germany because of the world cup for a few episodes? I seem to remember them doing something in France in 1998. :searchme:

Dire episodes all week. I thought all the recent stuff was bad, but this week made it all look like BAFTA standard.

I said to my wife that I wished that ferry sank with those five on it. Then we could be spared from their dreadful acting forever (well OK maybe I'm a bit prejudgmental on Dawn so far, so I'll give her a lifejacket to escape).

I'm also fed up of all those camera shots of Kara's bum and cleavage. Considering Dawn gets a boob job soon I think EE bosses are putting image over substance. :angry:

It was so bad this week I almost wanted the Ferrerias back. Still its Britains top soap with the best male and sexiest male and the part-time panto queen

I agree. Being an EastEnders fan I still have to admit it was absolutely awful this week.

Has anyone seen today's Daily Mirror "We Love Telly" magazine?

The preview of this week's Eastenders starts, "After that debacle of the lads' trip to France last week, the passports of everybody living in Albert Square should be revoked so there isn't a repeat performance."

And so say all of us!

100 % agree! Please EE, don't ever, ever, ever repeat a week like this ever again. If EE want to go on location, I would rather they did more location shots around London, like they did when Leo and Demi ran away.

I do like Dawn though but they could have found a way to introduce her without going to France. I also had a new found liking of Minty. I wish the writers would get him involved in the Den murder story. They could team Minty up with Billy and Peggy in helping Sam. Much better than him being wasted working in that garage all day. :)

I only watched Mondays episode.........and to be honest I didn't even mind that I missed the rest of the week. Just when Eastenders starts getting good again, they have to go and ruin it. It's like they don't actually want the ratings. It was an absolute disgrace that it was allowed to go ahead after all the great hype surrounding Den's body being found. The bosses should be ashamed of themselves!!

Personally, I don't think that this weeks episodes should be taken as a judgement of the current quality of EE. Almost without exception, foreign location episodes of EE are rubbish. I remember when they went to Ireland. That was possibly the worst foreign trip EE have ever done yet that trip happened during the 1990's, at a time when EE was at its greatest.

Foreign trips in EE should be banned, unless the storyline is decent and the writing is sharp, dynamic and funny. And I mean funny as in subtle, funny one liners, not blatant 'This is a funny scene viewers, you should laugh now :rolleyes: ' funny, which is slapstick, not what EE is about and, more importantly, not funny. :angry:

So according to the BBC episode summary Minty was "alarmed to hear tales of alcholism and infidelity in the village."

What? He lives in Walford. Don't tell me he isn't used to it. "Well, this French village was really nice at first but apparently everyone sleeps around and drinks a lot, so I'd rather just go back to Walford where everyone sleeps around and drinks a lot but at least they do it in English." :rolleyes:
