the ultimate MITCHELL thread

SNUFF OF KAFF
25 November 2005
AND IT'S CHEERIO GILLIAN

KATHY Beale is going to be killed off in EastEnders - and actress Gillian Taylforth ain't 'appy about it.

Ian's mum will meet a sticky end out in South Africa, where she's been living since running away from boozy second husband Phil Mitchell back in 1997.

Now Footballers' Wives star Gillian, 50, is fuming about having the door slammed in her face. A source whispered: "She's livid. Gillian always thought she'd come back to Walford one day - even if only for a few months - but now she can't.

"She will never be in EastEnders again and that's a bit of a shock."

Kaffy's death will happen off-screen (in the same way that Angie "died" while in Spain and Cindy Beale popped her clogs in prison). But the upshot of her demise is that their son Ben - who is now 10 - returns to live in London with his family.

One source said: "This is a dream come true for Phil, who's always wanted to be close to his son. He was devastated when Kathy took him to live so far away, and is delighted he's back. But Ian has other ideas. He hates Phil and doesn't think he would make a good father and so fights him for Ben."



The dramatic scenes will be screened next spring.



Kathy - who was one of the original cast members when the soap launched in 1985 - never had much luck with the blokes of Albert Square.



Her first marriage to Pete Beale crumbled after she was raped. She later married Phil and had Ben, but that too went wrong when he started knocking her around.



She then had a fling with his brother Grant, but (wisely) opted to dump both and start a new life in South Africa.



Mum-of-two Gillian was actually offered £200,000 to return to EastEnders earlier this year. Her official line now: "It's very sad news. Kathy was a big part of my life."



Ours too - may she rest in peace.

explanation for steve mcfadden leaving eastenders for panto is that phil goes to take Sharon to see Michelle and Vicky in America, as he is feeling guilty for having a part in Dennis' death.

Also Shaons 06 return may conincide with grant's return, and a possible rekindling of flames may occur, which could be the death of grant...

my interpretation of what ive read in todays soaplife

[shannisrules]

so when do phil and sharon leave and when does grant return

[littlemo]

so when do phil and sharon leave and when does grant return

I think Sharon leaves a day or two after the funeral. And I heard that Grant comes back in Jan or Feb. I don't think Sharon is going to come back in time for Grant's return, but maybe in time for his departure.

I can't believe Sharon and Phil leave together. I wonder if Sharon tells Phil about her being pregnant? There's always been a spark between them, I don't think Phil would be so happy to help her out, if there wasn't anything in it for him. Maybe I'm not giving Phil enough credit.

i think phil feels as tough hes responsible for dennis' death by telling dennis about johnny grabbing sharon by the throat, hence starting the events that lead to his death. he feels he owes it to sharon to get her trough it so he takes her to america

What I want to know is why she agrees to it? Is she not thinking straight? Does she not remember that Phil was the only one she told about Johnny strangling her? the only one who could have told Dennis. I suppose there's Johnny, but why would he say anything?

Maybe Sharon will think that Johnny told Dennis about him strangling her to wind him up. And if Johnny was to tell her the truth, why would she believe Johnny over Phil? somebody who has been on her side through it all (supposedly).

Yes it's all starting to make sense now. What a piece of work Phil and Johnny are?

[diamond1]

sharongate2 maybe?

[crazygirl]

when are phil and grant filming again?

[mara jade]

They already are filming. Both Phil and Grant are back in the middle of march.

[crazygirl]

[shannisrules]

Ben is back tonight (Phil's son), so technically a Mitchell. That's who they'd be talking about. I think it's a week or two until Phil and Grant come back.

[Dutchgirl]

I'm ecxited about their return it should be good to watch.

[CrazyLea]

im not looking forward to phil or grants return (they bore me big time) but it will be interesting to see Ben i think.

[Cornishbabe]

If ben comes back tonight does that mean phil will be back really soon?

[Johnny Allen]

I think Phil is back on the 24th of March.

[Daisyduck]

Ya im glad get phill back and take Ben off that smug faced Ian beale as i hate him

[Emmak2005]

I don't know if this has already been posted here, as there are quite a lot of pages, so here goes:

'EastEnders' hardman Grant Mitchell is to bed Ian Beale's girlfriend when he returns to Albert Square.

The hunky tough guy, played by Ross Kemp, will set his sights on sexy Scot Jane Collins, actress Laurie Brett, and the pair will have a passionate fling.

The illicit affair will leave unlucky-in-love Ian, played by 39-year-old Adam Woodyatt, heartbroken and spark another hateful feud between the businessman, Grant and his brother Phil.

A show source revealed to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Grant's return will have devastating consequences. He's attracted to Jane and she soon falls under his spell and they embark on a steamy affair. Ian looks set to suffer yet another huge upset, just as his life seemed to be getting back on track."

While Grant - who is returning to the soap some time this month - is bedding Jane, Ian and Phil will become embroiled in a bitter custody battle over Phil's son, Ian's half-brother, Ben, whose mother Kathy died in a car crash in South Africa.

*Well this is according to Female First anyway

[crazygirl]

i heared on a clip of eastenders that tonight johnny will say

johnny: you know what they should call you filth mitchell cos thats what you are (saying this to phil) then he says something like you should admit to what you have ddone why not? i do then he says so what! I KILEED DENNIS big deal and he goes on but cant remmeber the rest

[littlemo]

well i hope tonights episode is better than last nights! last nights was that boring i was looking forward to it ending

Are you not a bit fan of the Mitchells then?! I like the banter between them, I don't think it always has to be full on violence all the time. I think Grant's really funny, the kind of expressions that he does, are just adorable. I just feel like pinching him.

[shannisrules]

well i hope tonights episode is better than last nights! last nights was that boring i was looking forward to it ending


really i loved last nights episode the little jokes and snidy remarks between phil and grant..loved it

[littlemo]

really i loved last nights episode the little jokes and snidy remarks between phil and grant..loved it

Yeah I love that side to them. I didn't think tonight's episode was very good. It was too long winded, and there was to much of Phil behaving like a psychopath. The face he made at the end, it was like from a really bad horror movie.

[shannisrules]

has anyone seen the different adverts on bbc1 for this week they look really good with phil driving like a maniac and grant screaming down the phone to billy "if anything happens just get out" and billy says "grant whats going on" then it ends and theres like this fire and people are screaming its weired but looks good!

Yes it does, but it spoils it that I know about Jake shooting and killing his brother (who we all know is responsible for the stabbing of Mini Den). I quite liked Johnny's house and all his cctv cameras - very poe-sh. Considering he used to live in the East End of London (no offence intended) in a not so nice house. I liked Ruby's chat-up line with Grant: "Fancy a scone?" I was waiting for him to reply and say: "Don't mind if I do" (in a posh accent ofcourse!).

Anyway I'm working when EastEnders is on on Thursday, but am home in time for the 8pm showing on Friday. Which I'm hoping is when Danny meets his maker.

[shannisrules]

wasnt johnny supposed to dies at the end of all this? or was it just danny

[JustJodi]

I don't think Johnny dies,, but he is gonna be put away for a good long time so hes as good as dead dontcha think ?????????????:searchme:

[alkalinetrio]

might aswell be dead! unless with hes money he can get someone to break him out:P

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

might aswell be dead! unless with hes money he can get someone to break him out:P

The only way thats going to happen is if he gets out and they give him another storyline to write him out with. But i think he wants to actually do time for this for Ruby

[lisa cullumbine]

:eek: no just danny was to die he had proper lost it at end

[Babe14]

I'm loving the Mitchells again just like I used to before they became "Thugs"

I really like the new Grant and really wish that he was staying especially as both the Mitchell boys are building a close friendship with Jake, the three of them really work well together and there is huge potential here. I'm liking Phil again now, he's nice side is shining through once again. For once I'm on Phil's side with regards to Ben, he is trying very hard to be reasonable but Ian isn't having any of it. Ian wants Ben for the wrong reasons, to hang onto part of his mum, whereas Phil wants to be a dad to him.

Grant cracks me up with his little comments which he slips into conversations and I love him being a dad to Courtney.

Yes I even like Peggy with the boys, she works with them but no so well without them.

I take back all the remarks I made prior to their return. One thing though the Mitchells mustn't be rammed down our throats or over used as they will be ruined and become boring again.

[crazygirl]

i love the mitchells i just wish grant could stay forever

[lisa cullumbine]

:wub: yeah so do i sounds like there is plenty comming up for them at the moment i love grants smile makes me go all tingly strange that i love the way he looks at jane as well

[DaVeyWaVey]

I think the Mitchells are as better as ever at the moment. I am glad they are back in the Square, just where they belong.
We are seeing a whole new side to Phil with the Ben storyline. It's good that Phil and Grant aren't just going round beating people up in the Square because that would just get tiresome.
Courtney is a new good addition as well :)

[Babe14]

The Mitchell boys are so much better at being portrayed as family men and friends, people who care. However we must still have their "bad " boy side from time to time, not over the top like it developed before that is what ruined them, they became too "Violent" and it just became boring.

[lisa cullumbine]

:cheer: they have always cared in their own way its the image thing they have to keep up their hardman images

[DaVeyWaVey]

I agree with you Babe14, the Mitchell boys are so better portrayed as family men but we sometimes need to see their bad boy streak too :)

[Babe14]

I agree with you Babe14, the Mitchell boys are so better portrayed as family men but we sometimes need to see their bad boy streak too :)

Phil and Grant wouldn't be Phil and Grant if they turned into "Billy":rotfl:

[Florijo]

I really like the Mitchell brothers as family men with their kids. Courtney and Ben are great and its such a shame that Courtney won't be staying for longer. The only way I think she could is if Ross Kemp decided to come back full time but I doubt he ever will so :(.

[Babe14]

Carla his wife is coming into the show, so at a guess this may be leading up to Ross's exit. I don't know if Carla is going to be staying in the square or leaving with Grant. If she stays then maybe Courtney could too? But I don't think that Grant would leave her behind, this of course will all depend on the reason for him disappearing again.

Hopefully we will be finding out just what the problem is between Grant and Carla along with what exactly it is she has to do. (Re telephone conversation with Carla last week)

[bad4everzain]

grant shags jane and ian cant do **** abt it shammeeee

[JustJodi]

I would dearly love to see Ross spend a bit more time on EE but I realize he has done other things and probably wants to do more ,,I am glad I got to "know" Grants character this time around ....... I do hope that Grant shags Jane rotten,,,,,, as some one said there aint a damn thing Ian can do about it,,:moonie:

[Babe14]

From a clip I saw yesterday he does just that:D :o :lol:

[JustJodi]

From a clip I saw yesterday he does just that:D :o :lol:

Babe . can ya post that clip ?? or is it a bit too akward to do ??? :searchme:
Grant snogs her good ?? whahoooooooooooooooooooooo:bow:

[Babe14]

Um..very difficult as it was on Entertainment today!! I will have a nose around the web and see what I can find.

The clip invovled a table, Jane laying on it and Grant well...huh um...:lol: :o

Apparently Jane has been glammed up to be a bit of a glamour puss and she now has long blonde hair. People were remarking on how come Jane suddenly got all galmmed up for Grant, but the reason for her new hair do is that she decided to go blonde and grow the hair which took about 6 months to grow. So it is just a coincidence that she now has long hair whilst pashing with Grant baby.

I'm glad that it sounds like there will be a lot of focus on Jane as I have always liked the character and felt that she has never been used enough.

I really love Grant and Jake together, along with Phil as this provides a lot of scope for some excellent storylines.

Three guesses as to who will find out about Grant and Jane and tell Ian!!

On the Phil front - apparently he makes a breakthrough with Ben soon..awww

[JustJodi]

Apparently Jane has been glammed up to be a bit of a glamour puss and she now has long blonde hair. People were remarking on how come Jane suddenly got all galmmed up for Grant, but the reason for her new hair do is that she decided to go blonde and grow the hair which took about 6 months to grow. So it is just a coincidence that she now has long hair whilst pashing with Grant baby.


Please tell me Jane is not going to appear with a ton of hair extensions like Terra Cotta Sharon did,, :searchme: :ninja: :wall:

[Babe14]

No. It's all natural and looks very nice. I reckon in screening time we should see her long hair in about a couple of months, obviously during this time we will notice how it's gettting longer.

[JustJodi]

Wait a min Wait a min,, so I guess that means the affair will carry on for some time ??????? Well thats cool , I think they look pretty good together......Carla may be all exotic like a hot house flower, but Jane is just something different,,, :searchme:


Now we need to find a gal for Phil..he needs a good woman to pin him down a bit.. :searchme:

[DaVeyWaVey]

Maybe Carla can go off with Phil after learning about Grant and Jane's affair?? :searchme: :hmm:

[Babe14]

I was thinking of carla for a possible brief romance with Jake. There again DaveyW I do like your idea of Carla and Phil together but this may be a case of Sharongate all over again.

This what I think about the Grant/Jane affair, that it's going back to the Cindy/Wicksy era (Simon). I really thought that Jane was different from Ian's other women and would stay true to him. Still I'm going to enjoy the Grant/Jane affair! Everyone loves a bit of spice in a soap, eh?

No Jane's new image has started now, haven't you noticed?:) The character has become more glamourous since she first appeared on the stall. Jane also loves the cheeky chappie, mouthy type and this is how her husband used to be before he was ill. Now would you say that this is Ian??:lol:

Yeah when i wrote my idea, i was thinking that it could be similiar to Sharongate but maybe Carla could get with Phil to get back at Grant or Carla could get with Ian to get back at Jane for having an affair with Grant?? :hmm:

An affair of revenge, I like it! Even better I love your idea of Ian having an affair, now that would be something different Ian the one to do the cheating for a change!

I can see Carla doing something like that just for revenge. I wonder what the outcome will be of all this? Will Ian let Jane stay, kick her out and then have her back? Or will Jane leave and Ian and Jane split?

From: The Sun. Dated: Wednesday, May 31, 2006.

GRANT Mitchell has a go at doing the housework ....., and, well, no offence mate - but you'd best leave it to your Mum Peggy next time.

EastEnder Grant (Ross Kemp) flips after his wife Carla says she owes £25,000 to her ex-lover Ray.

Ray then threatens to harm Peggy, but reveals the debt is only £12,000.

Grant is furious at Carla's lie - and trashes Ray's place in next week's episode.

Thanks for posting! Sounds exciting!!

Thanks for posting, it makes a good read. I hope Grant returns sometime in the future with Courtney, hopefully if they return, they will become permanent fixtures and stay in Walford along with Carla. :)

I've just read an article on Ds, and the original source is the Daily Star.

It asks whether Phil and Jane are going to have an affair. It says that they've been filming a lot of scenes together recently, that are top secret. But asking whether they will be getting together, the insider said 'that it may not be as predictable as them two having an affair, it might be for other reasons that they become close'.

I didn't think there was any need to open up another thread, because I don't think the affair thing is going to happen. I reckon it's more to do with Ben, or maybe Ian.

Phil and Jane aren't very close at the moment though. Phil doesn't seem to like her very much. There must be something that changes his mind.

[DaVeyWaVey]

She could become closer to Phil because of Ben, if Ian and Phil fight over rights for Ben, then Jane might start sticking up for Phil etc making her and Phil closer. Just an idea.....

[littlemo]

According to Sharon Marshall (today on This Morning) Phil is getting a romance soon. She didn't say anymore than that but it could be Jane?

[lisa cullumbine]

:rotfl: apparently it is jane i read in a newspaper last week that she says move over grant i want your brother which i found funny because eastenders have already done this with sharon ho hum !

[DaVeyWaVey]

Well i am hoping Jane and Phil together won't be true, i wanted Phil and Jane to get closer for other reasons like Ben etc, not for a romance.....

I really can't picture Jane and Phil as a couple.

[Dutchgirl]

Phil was quiet rough with her before, so he must feel deeply ashamed if they get together! Not!:rotfl:

[the_watts_rule]

Is it tonight that Grant leaves?

[Becksfanz]

It will be stupid if they do get together! Plllleeeaaasssee no! lol

[littlemo]

You know a while ago they had that 'Jane pregnancy' rumour, about her having a baby with Grant?! I think they could do that storyline.

Carla and Grant were going on about Grant wanting more children. And then there was that scene towards the end with Grant and Jane, it was so sweet! If Grant came back, and Jane came to her senses about Ian. They could try and make things work. What do you think?

Yeah i think Grant and Jane should make things work between them, Ian and Jane really shouldn't be together and i have realised this since Jane began her affair with Grant. Grant and Jane are so well suited, plus Courtney gets on so well with Jane so they would be a great family together, i hope they get together sometime in the future and have kids together, i would think that would be the cherry on the cake for them!

[lisa cullumbine]

:confused: im not sure really i do think they would be well suited but i would hate things to turn sour between jane & grant because i dont think it would be very fair on jane after her loosing her husband so tragically bless her plus it would hurt her to hurt ians children i think it would would be very big emotionally for her

[JustJodi]

I honestly can not say Jane HAD AN AFFAIR with Grant, cos Jane is not a married woman, shes just shackin up with Ian and is nothing but Ians baby sitter and maid in my opinion,, Ian has to be as BORING as watching paint dry..Ok Grant was seperated when he and Jane took up with their passionate fling..weither or not they EVENTUALLY get together again, I just think they got along really well and would make a really interesting couple.. if EE would write a DECENT STORY LINE. Jane just GLOWED when she was with Grant.:) Ok thats just my 2 euro cents worth.........:searchme:

[Siobhan]

Maybe that could be Jane's exit story when she thinks about leaving.. head to portugal to be with Grant

[Kim]

That sounds about right because of something in soaplife. It said that Ian's obsession with the local charity trust elevates him from most boring to mega boring.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Jane isn't leaving though is she?! I just really want Grant to return to the Square with Courtney and sweep Jane off her feet, I don't want Jane to get with Phil like rumours suggest, Phil and Jane are really not suited!! Jane is a great addition to Eastenders and may long she stay in the show! :)

Nothing is confirmed as far as I know but I think she is leaving.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Aaah no!! I wouldn't mind if she leaves to track down Grant, maybe we could have one of the Eastenders week away specials and this time it's in Portugal where Jane is trying to track down Grant after splitting up with Ian! That would be great!!

[JustJodi]

Has this been confirmed that Jane is leaving, is it cause of Grant or Phil ?? Or is the actress just wanting to do something else,, actually Jane is a terrific character,, its just that Ian is making her BORING,, :searchme:

[crazygirl]

[Siobhan]

Grant left cause he had planned to start a new life in Portugal with his wife but he found out she was ripping him off. If you want to know what happen read the episode guides for Eastender and don't worry you haven't missed anything this week as it is on today and tommorrow for 1 hour

They were going up the escalator at the airport.

[JustJodi]

They were going up the escalator at the airport.


Thanks I forgot to add that :lol: Was also priceless Grant left Carla in the rubbish bin, and Peggy slugged Carla in the kisser,, great stuff !!!

[crazygirl]

at the airport sorry i presumed they were at the tube going to the airport has a few seem to leave at the tube! and ive missed peggy slap carla!!

[DaVeyWaVey]

No i think she has left now. Peggy slapped her and she was put in a dustbin by Grant but now i think she has left, she should have stuck around though. :)

[crazygirl]

No i think she has left now. Peggy slapped her and she was put in a dustbin by Grant but now i think she has left, she should have stuck around though. :) oh thats ashame i thought she was going to be the new chrissie watts! shame she has gone

No it hasn't been confirmed by an official source but it is in soaplife saying that Ian turns mega boring with his plans to help charity, then Jane has her eye on Robert, so I'm guessing he tells Ian or Phil finds out and tells Ian which leads to her leaving to go and track down Grant.

[DaVeyWaVey]

I know i said it before but i think it would be great if we had an Eastenders special week away again, this time in Portugal with Jane trying to track Grant down but Phil and Robert go after her and try and look for Jane in Portugal. I think it would be a great set of episodes. :)

[Kim]

Yeah, sort of similar to the one with Ian and Cindy's kids in it that involved Phil. Generally, I'm not interested in episodes over 6 years old but I found that one interesting.

[DaVeyWaVey]

I never saw the Cindy/Ian episodes away but yeah something similar, i think it would be great. In fact i might write a script based on Jane trying to track down Grant in Portugal. :)

[crazygirl]

it would be good wouldnt it! was the last abroad thing lisa and phil?

[Siobhan]

it would be good wouldnt it! was the last abroad thing lisa and phil?

for the mitchells yes but overall it was when Mickey met his dad and we met Dawn Swan

[*-Rooney-*]

i think its good that peggy is organising a surprise wedding for honey and billy but just wait until she goes into labour i just feel so sorry for the pair of them when honey gives birth to a downs syndrome baby, that is so sad.

[EE Rocks]

I love the Mitchell's, I miss Tiffany though.:( Courtney mitchell was fantastic,i hope she comes back. Ben is okay, little boring. Love Phil and Grant and Peggy. Honey is going to be a mitchell soon.

[littlemo]

Yeah i'm glad the Mitchells are back, I was missing them. I liked the way Phil helped Billy with the nursery, a very sweet scene!
