This money that Jake's lost, how much is it? Less than £5000 I think we've decided (see above). Is that really enough to bail a murderer???

Well all the mags are saying that it's 25k he's lost. That is what Ian "paid" for the Vic, but Ian said that all he gave them in cash was 5 grand, and like you said it'll be less than that now. :rolleyes: Plus there's the question of whether a murderer who tried to flee the country would even get bail.

Absolutely. Another out of touch with reality moment from the Eastenders team? :hmm:

Sorry but that was an awful episode imo. Naomi and Sonia suddenly forget about what happened and move on, and Martin suddenly decides to forgive Sonia like nothing happened at all. What a load of crap. :mad:
Besides, Naomi seemed to throw every insult going at Martin early in the episode, then suddenly said to him later on that only he can turn Sonia around. :searchme: FFS give me a break. :rolleyes:
The Wellard storyline is dreadful. Who wrote it - 8 year olds? :thumbsdow
Nana Moon scenes were OK apart from Kat/Alfie. Bit cringeworthy though.
Pauline bores me though it was nice to see a bit of Dot.
Honey and Billy are dull. Thank god Honey isn't hanging around. Why do they give a great actor in Perry Fenwick such dross. He'd be better staying out of the Mitchell clan but still being strong minded, instead of the calamatous wimp that he is.
Nice little scenes with Pat at the end, always good to have her back. Next week should be a bit better with more of Pat for Janine's trial, although we've also got the return of Fwwaannnkkkk!!! TERRRRRRRIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFIIIICCCCCCCCCC. Not. :rolleyes:

I think her bail would have been refused like Sam's was even if Jake hadn't of lost the money.

You were obviously watching a very different programme to me. The whole episode was about Sonia and Naomi and their relationship. Things certainly weren't back to normal. We also had Sonia and Martin screaming at each other. It was only when Naomi told Martin a few home truths, such as he was totally selfish and spoilt that he seemed to realise that he had to take part of the blame for the state of their marriage.
I enjoyed last night's episode. There were quite a few funny bits and there were lots of characters involved. Yes, enjoyed it.

It's all about opinions at the end of the day Sarah. You enjoyed it, I didn't. I still beg to differ at the way they temporarily patched up the Martin and Sonia relationship, though we'll see what effect Naomi's words had on the couple next week.

Yes it is all about opinions :) I don't think for one minute that their relationship has been patched up but I understand the way they think it is. You just want to believe that everything is fine but in this case, it's too far gone for that and it's quite obvious that Martin is going to go off with someone else. :nono:
fridays episode was ok.glad Niomi tried to help reunite them but whether it will work we will have to wait and see
Don't think so.... They were bickering like children on Friday. Can't say anymore as this is the general section.

Lacey is soooooo good at her character!! She really plays it well!! I really enjoyed today's epi... sad how there are actually children and just people are like Jean's mum. Hope Stacey can help her :(...
Emma-Lou
05-12-2005, 20:33
Yeah she she was really good tonight andi thought it was a good episode.i feel sorry for stacey and her mum
That was class. Poor Stacey, I can't imagine what it must be like to have a parent like that. Brilliant acting from Lacey and I really felt her pain when her mum was saying those things to her and how she could not cope with it.
The writing seemed more realistic with the use of the word 'bloody' etc. The stuff with Pat was good too and it is nice to see Chrissie again. It was also nice that most of that episode was outside Walford too. Much more interesting. :)
BlackKat
05-12-2005, 20:47
The Stacey bits were the only ones I really enjoyed. Well acted and realistic.
Pat -- I just don't care. I hate Frank, he annoys the hell out of me.
I'm a big fan of Jake, and the Jake/Chrissie relationship, but this whole bail thing is completely contrived, not least because of the fact that Chrissie is on a murder charge and tried to flee the country! They didn't give Sam bail, they wouldn't give Chrissie bail. Oh, and the fact that 20k seems to have sprung out of nowhere.
But dear lord Jake can run fast. (When he ran for the bus). :eek:
I did like the beginning scene, and the fact that all three stories seemed to have stuff in common etc.
I enjoyed the Stacey/Jean bits too.

oops! duplicate post.
I liked tonights eppi, firstly i thought lacey was fab, and ican't wait to see her in the next few eppis, its actually quite sad watching her with her mum!
The jake and chrissie thing, well i have given up about the money, but i thought it was quite comical actually!Justt he whole conversation!
I do love them and everything but i was just laughing my head off!
I think it might have all been Ian's because I can't see that amounting to 20k.

05-12-2005, 21:08
Fantastic episode. The stacey and her mum stuff was so brilliantly well done, as everyone's said.Even if it did go on a bit. And Everything with pat + mo and then frank turning up. :clap:
Best of all I loved Chrissies outburst though! LOL Even though Jakes a sweet guy,I don't blame her for being angry at him! As she said, what kind of idiot looses 25k! (btw I think only 5k of it was Ians money but Some of it must have been Jakes and from the Vic and Chrissies account) And then he proposes to make up for it bless him,I loved when Chrissie was like "where do you wanna go on your honeymoon darling!" it was hilarious! Fabulous scene! :clap:

1) Jake didn't lose the money. Alfie threw it out. 2) Jake didn't have any money, they only got a couple of grand from the safe at the Vic. And if they had 20 grand already why were they so bothered about getting Ian's 5 grand -- they walked across the Square in broad daylight with almost everyone looking for them to get 5 grand when they already had 20? No way.
If they want it to be that Ian gave them 25 grand in cash, fine. Just don't tell us two weeks before that Ian's only 5 grand short.

Yea, lazy writing imo.But oh well. I still think Jake was stupidly careless with the money. He could have trusted alfie to look after it instead of leaving in a bag somewhere. Anyway I still thought their scene tonight was fab! Go Chrissie :cheer:
BlackKat
05-12-2005, 21:17
The whole thing is contrived. Why did Jake leave the money there in the first place? Why not take it with him? I assume he has actually got a flat or somewhere to stay, so why not keep it there? Or if that isn't secure...gee, I don't know, a safe deposit box. A bank??
Stupid ass writing.
Oh, and this is the guy who stood in front of a loaded gun and when he first came into the show could tell a dodgy note from a two second glance. Like hell doesn't he know how to keep 25 grand safe, even if 4/5 of it is imaginary.

Chrissie wouldn't be interested in the fact that Alfie threw the money out, either way she's still stuck in jail.

brilliant acting from lacey and the actress who plays jean! i loved how jean kept repeating stuff and saying how she hadn't been right since her husband had died, and then trying to swallow but not being able to, made me feel so sad! though it seemed as like jean was blaming stacey for her husband's murder, like stacey was there and jean thought that stacey pushed him off the scaffolding?
the scene at the end was fab, she just looked at jean wondering should i go back, should i not? but decided to go back in the end cos it's her mum.
hmmm, pat and mo weren't that bad but frank ... soo cheesy! :thumbsdow
chrissie and jake ... that was sweet! though the whole bail thing is so unrealistic!
8/10 - mostly because of the stacey/jean scenes :cheer:

loved chrissies outburst poor jake but she wouldnt of got bail surely, so it dosent really matter if he lost her dosh!

hee hee!!! tonights was one of the best since the whole chrissie being caught!
Sarah Phelps is writing the rest of the weeks episodes so it should be good. :)
In my opinion, Lacey was totally robbed of the Best Newcomer award a couple of months ago. For a young actress and in her first television role as well, she has shown real range in her acting - from her funny one-liners (Alfie: "Stacey, what you doing tonight?", Stacey: "You dirty git! What do you wanna do? Complete the set"), to her bitchiness and her sensitive and troubled side that she showed last night. Stacey has changed as a person since she first arrived but it does not seem as forced or as contrived as the changes in the likes of Johnny. It seems more real to me as it reflects what her life has been like and Lacey plays her so well. Stacey reminded me of Janine when she first arrived but now she is like the anti-Janine as whilst both of them have had difficult childhoods, Stacey has shown her sensitive and kind nature, something that Janine never really did. She has chosen a different way than Janine, she does not blame everything on her childhood and she just gets on with life and deals with it without turning to drugs etc.
Really looking forward to the rest of the week now, not really for the Pat/Frank or Chrissie/Jake stuff but for Stacey's story.

I thought itwas pretty good, and I agree Florijo Lacey was robed of best newcomer, yet again she was excellent, and continues to improve in her acting. I thought it was good how it was happening in all different locations as well.

Yes I agree mostly with what's been said above. The Stacey and mother storyline was very good.
The Chrissie and Jake storyline is so unrealistic I find it very irritating and cannot get interested at all for all the reasons given above - 1. Where did 25k come from? 2. How come Jake just left it in a bag in a cupboard at Alfie's? 3. How is 25k (assuming it is 25k) going to be anywhere near enough to get a murderer, who has already tried to leave the country once, out?
The Pat and Mo bit was reasonable but it was one of those strange Eastenders coincidences that Mo just happened to be going to Court to support her friend on the same day that Pat had to go. Hmmmm.....
I loved the whole Stacey and her mum storyline.. very very touching and Lacey is a fab actor for one so young... More of this from EE will be good
oh and how predictable "ello Babe"... same as "ello princess" and "ello mum"... can the return character not greet people with their old catch phrases????

Yeah I'd go along with all of that.
I don't like Stacey of course but thought her mum put in a cracking perfromance last night. Shame she's only in it for a few episodes.
Pat and Mo was OK but the rest of it was quite flat, especially the Chrissie/Jake stuff. I thought those scenes were horrendous in terrms of acting and writing.
Well written in patches by Carey Andrews but less so in other parts.

I think Lacey is a brilliant actress, so is the actress playing Jean, I alway like it when Stacey is on, she can be such a pain but has so many good sides as well, like one of the other people in the thread said so different to Janine who deserves all she is getting. And did we see Little Mo's back at the café?
i thought it was such a good episode last night. I really thought Lacey Turner acted it really well. I was nearly in tears. Especially with the bit about the tablets.

Lacey is soooooo good at her character!! She really plays it well!! I really enjoyed today's epi... sad how there are actually children and just people are like Jean's mum. Hope Stacey can help her :(...

Lol! I could barely hear what he was saying aswell. Franks voice really does annoy me even if it is his trademark. Don't get me wrong I like the storyline with stacey and her mum but I thought it was very similar to yesterday, It didnt do as much for me tonight. I thought pat was truly great tonight battling with her conscience. Best of all I liked the scenes with Chrissie, I thought she was funny when she was explaining to her lawyer about her bail money. Then the fiesty superbitch side when she wanted to get everyone at her trial. Then when she was in her cell with that annoying Gail woman asked if she had children,she looked so upset:(

06-12-2005, 20:52
frank and pat ... a tad predictable, but not that bad
stacey and jean - fab, just love this whole storyline, stacey giving her mum a bath and getting her to swallow those pills and then how stacey says 'i've been doing this for years, i know what will get her better' just makes me feel so sorry for her, a teenager looking after her mother and trying to make her better time and time again
chrissie's little psycho revenge thing though :rotfl:

06-12-2005, 21:39
OK, but for a Sarah Phelps episode it was a little flat.
Jean was good, and Pat brilliant as always. I don't like Frank but it's good that Pat finally gets a storyline. This is obviously tying up loose ends with the pair as Mike Reid has said this is likely to be his final appearance in EE.
The Jake/Chrissie scenes were very weak. Jake Maskall was absolutely awful in his scenes particularly.

Personally I liked their scenes better than I did yesterdays. Possibly because they only mentioned the imagainary 20k a few times, so I could actually concentrate without shouting "It was 5!" every two seconds. :lol:

I actually think Pat and Frank work well as a cupl- better than the other women he has been wit. I don't mind him that much. I suppose they brought him back temporarily because Den kicked the bucket. I couldn't help eeling a bit sorry for him yesterday though. If he were sensible ten he and Pat could stay a couple and he could give up all the affairs etc but - well Den and Frank - what a pair. Both had everything and wasted it.
pat and frank are sickening- all the way through the episode i was like please don't jump in bed. eww even the thought of them two together makes me cringe. i'm so glad it ended where it ended!
loving stacy and her mum. the woman who plays her mum is areally good actress.
and what is wrong with jake "i will rip your face off". yeah okay jake sure you would.
and chrissie, she banged up and still she is acting like she can get away with it. the expressions on her lawyers face was kind funny.
i think chrissie is losing it. as for the frank and pat bit, i was cringing when they were about to kiss. i love the stacey/jean storyline but have a feeling it might outrun it's good side.

I wish Frank would either return for good or leave. Surely bringing him back, sleep with Pat then leave again is all too repetitive.

I sorta like Frank .. never saw him as a reg on EE,, but during those EE Christmas specials I gathered he was the love of Pat's life ( she is one of my favorite characters up there with Dot ) so I do not mind him popping in and out.. hes OK he hasn't been around long enuff to DO MY HEAD IN LOL

I agree with Alan on this one.. he has said lots of times he won't return but he had
"They feel they've played Frank out and I agree.These episodes will tie up all the loose ends: his daughter Janine and Frank and Pat.
"There's nothing else they can do with him."

Mike Reid said in the Daily Record last week that this would be his last time in Albert Square.

Well if they expand her family a bit, at least it will replace the people in the Statler's household , isn't Kat leaving, Mo is hardly on, Lynn is gone, Brenda is just mentioned from time to time,, so having another STATLER won't hurt ...:searchme:

Just in case anyone thought they recognised her.

oh booh Frank when was the last time he cared for Janine, not even when she was on an alltime low selling herself. Pat has done loads, I'm sorry she sleeps with him, he is the wrong man for her, I like Pat she is always upfront, but has to lie to let Janine get what she deserves for killing Barry.:hmm:
BlackKat
08-12-2005, 20:31
Did we really need 50 odd Pat and Frank scenes all saying the same thing? I'm so bored of that storyline -- I don't care what happens to Pat, Frank or Janine. Actually, I do care what happens to Frank. I want it be painful. Mike Reid clearly went to the William Shatner School of Acting. (Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.)
Stacey and Jean are still great -- did get slightly repetitive on Tuesday's ep, but it was fantastic tonight. Poor Stacey.
Liked the Jake and Chrissie scenes. Jake not even knowing the woman's name, or even caring what it was, and Chrissie shouting "You thieving bitches," had me in hysterics. Such an adorable couple, :p :lol: (Damn you EE for making me like them again after Monday.)

Bit of a boring episode tonight I thought. Tomorrow's looks a bit better though.
Pat and Stacey's mum once again put in some great performances tonight. Writing fairly good still from Sarah Phelps. Rest was a bit of a letdown though.

I enjoyed last night eppi.. well done again on stacey and her mum :bow::bow::bow: very very well written...
Stacey and her mum: I really like the storyline with Stacey and her mum, it is really gritty and well acted by Lacey and the women who plays her mum (don't know her name). I just hope they don't overload Lacey with storylines and ruin the wonderful character that is Stacey Slater. I really hope they can keep hold of Lacey and give her the right storylines. Well done to KH, Lacey and all the rest on this storyline. :bow:
Pat/Frank: Okish. Would have loved to have seen Charlie Brooks back to be honest. Frank annoys me but I guess they wanted to conclude Janine's storyline which is a good thing as it shows that they realise that viewers don't just want things left up in the air when it comes to a character's fate.
Chrissie/Jake: Jake is a plank. End of. I wish he would leave.
It has been great to see life outside the Square for a change. All three storylines have been located outside the Square and it makes it all seem more 'real' and not confined to one square all the time.

Yes, from that point of view I think it has been a good week for Eastenders. It's just a pity some of the storylines have not lived up to it. The Pat/Frank story is so boring! Why say something once when you can say it a million times seems to be the idea here.
As for Jake, it's just so unrealistic I can't take it seriously. I prefer watching him in "The Office" on UK Gold later in the evening!
The Stacey/Mother story is by far the best of the three, but, as was said above, let's hope it doesn't lead to one of Eastenders complete character changes and that Stacey retains her feistyness.

Yeah agree with you parkerman.. stacey should not change and I hope she doesn't leave....
Pat and Frank was boring but I love the end of last nights "see you in court" I am glad Pat has finally stood up to him....
JustJodi
09-12-2005, 11:21
I am also glad that Pat stood up to Frank, I was totally at loss cos the subtitles went off, and I couldn't lip read her, hubby said SEE YOU IN COURT,, bless his heart for coming to my rescue LOL...I find Frank a pathetic old man trying to hang on to something that is no longer there, ( "his little girl" oh please) Pat is only doing what she believes is right, so good for her!!!!
I loved Staceys story line, and I am like the rest I hope they do not strip her of that Stacey we all have learned to love..But the story line is realistic, cos mental illness is something alot of people deal with every day and not alot of us have seen it..
Chrissie has def lost it !!! Isn't tonight the last time we see TAO ??:searchme:

Certainly it's been a better week for them, but things could still be better. At least they've reverted back to a bit of kitchen sink drama this week, which we haven't seen for ages, however I doubt this ray of sunshine will last long, and we'll be back to the likes of the Wellard & Ruby/Juley nonsense next week. :rolleyes:

How come it is taking so long to put Wellard down??? I thought they are usually quick about that. A dog who has bitten someone will not be re housed incase it happens again... or is it different law now?

09-12-2005, 12:23
I think it takes a bit longer than you think. That's just a guess as I don't own a dog. I doubt it would take longer than 14 days though, but I suppose that depends if there is a hearing to discuss his fate. :searchme:
Be warned though, this stroyline will still be going on into 2006. FFS :rolleyes: :thumbsdow

yeah I know that is why I was wondering why it was so long. I didn't know that they have hearings for such things, they did have one for us when our dog was put down cause he bit someone (that person was tormenting the dog every day for months and kept pulling his tail and ears) and he was put down in a few days.. but it was the 80's so maybe dogs didn't have rights back then
Richie_lecturer
09-12-2005, 12:40
Sorry to hear about your dog, even though it was a long time ago.
I know the Dangerous Dogs Act was implemented at the beginning of the Major Government, so about 1991-2. That might contain some actual detail on this. Just do a quick google on it and I'm sure you'll find a simplified account of the Order, rather than some legal jargon. :)

Tonight is Chrissie's final night in EE. She bows out after tonight's episode (I won't reveal what happens, that's what the Spoilers section is for). Frank may be saying goodbye as well for the final time, ending an on and off relationship with EE (1987-1993, 1995-2000, 2003, 2005).

My understanding of the Dangerous Dogs Act is that the matter has to go to court for a destruction order, so who knows how long that could take? Also, if Wellard is found "guilty", it could also mean a custodial sentence for his owner, in this case, Gus.

'vicky pollard' so true. that girl was a chav or what. if i was stacy i would've gave her one, insulting her mum like that. and someone really needs to tell her that you don;t treat yourself to fags when your up the duff. but it really showed how stacy really was when and where she came from.
i still cant believe pat and frank you know.. in the bed.. eww its making me cringe. good ending though 'see you in court; cheesy but good.

Stacey swore. :eek: I think it was warrented though as it fitted in with the storyline and what she was thinking and going through. Makes it more realistic too although no doubt EE will get some compliants cos of it.

I wonder if we will ever see Sean? It would be interesting to know what his story is all about and why the photo was bent so that he was hidden away. Maybe Stacey's parents disowned him or something? :confused:
I'm glad Janine got off although as it does allow Janine to return in a credible way if Charlie Brooks decides to come back. Janine is sure to want revenge on Pat for keeping her in the nick for all those months even if she told the truth in the end.

09-12-2005, 20:59
The Pat and Frank storyline has bored me to death this week. It just feels the only reason we were getting it was because this was the week they could get Mike Reid back. Chrissie's speech about all the lies having to stop didn't fit in with this storyline because it's come out of nowhere. We haven't seen Pat struggling with it for these past months (it's been over a year hasn't it?) that Janine's been in prison. She told a lie months ago, she was about to tell it again this week. There was no in between.
The only downside to this week, because I think the other two storylines have been amazing. I cried at the Jake and Chrissie scene because I love that couple. I'm not so much sad or angry at it ending because I think it's been played to it's natural conclusion, not just cut short like some couples are when one half is leaving. But I was just sad for them.
That music always makes me cry. I'd probably cry if they played it over a blank screen.

I really enjoyed tonights episode. There wasnt anything about tonight that made me not want to watch.
Chrissies exit was great. It was as if she finally realised that hurting other people wasnt going to make her life any better. She knew she had to pay for what she had done. It was sad seeing her watch the woman with her daughter knowing that she'll never have the family she so desperatly craves. By letting Jake go she has done the most selfless thing she has in the three years since she first appeared on our screens. It was heartbraking to know that if it wasnt for den things could have been so different. It was time for it to end though the relationship had run its course and although i am a jakissie fan I am glad that the storyline has come to a natural if some what predictible end
Poor stacey. The girl needs help she obviously cant cope on her own and i get the feeling that she tried to cope for years until it all became too much hence her move to walford. Her mothers obvious cry for help and attention is by no means a failure on staceys behalf but a clear representation of how the nhs and social services can fail those who need them most. As for Sean, this all brings an interseting element to the mix that goes some way to explaining the way Stacey and her mum are and the way they interact.
The story of janines trial was never going to play center stage but i still feel slightly let down. However despite the plotlines shortcoming i thing it was well acted and I believe that Pat made the right decision although Janine should have still been put away. As for Frank he should have listened to Pat. A leapord never changes its spots and Janine is just the same. It was too little too late in the fathering department for Frank.
Overall great episode. 9/10 cant wait for monday and the xmas storylines

Definatly. Come back Janine, you were class. She is great on UK Gold at the moment, sending Mo flowers and making out that they were from Trevor. I hope Charlie does decide to come back in a few years, although only if the storyline is good and the character is not ruined.

Was the person playing Laura's mother the same person who plays Chlobecca's grandmother? They sounded almost identical, but I suppose that might be an accent. Anyone know?

You serious? If thats true then that was a crap ending for her!

You talking about chrissie?
i agree, well i think that i mean she has made such an impact and then her last scenes to be just her in prison i think it was alright but they could of given her a better ending maybe, but i just don't know what that ending could of been, But at least she didn't just drive off in the back of a black cab! lol!

Im highly disappointed if it is true, like you said she has made such a huge impact in the show, it would be a waste if that was her final scene. Im hoping EE will pull something out the bag and shock us all and she does reappear nearer crimbo
On another note, does anyone know what actually happened to Stacey's mum??
At first i thought it was something to do with a train, seeing as she was checking one out, but then surely she would have died? if she had got hit by one
Richie_lecturer

'no1abbafan':
Janine was found not guilty as Pat decided not to give evidence. She then fled afterwards to everyones surprise, much to the shock of Frank who expected to pick her up and "be a proper daddy for the first time in her life".
Chrissie told Jake not to see her again, as despite Jake's promise he would be 'waiting for her' when she eventually got out of jail, Chrissie told him in the eyes that she didn't feel he could do that without meeting someone else. Jake had to admit to that (he made no mention of the one-nighter he had with some girl at that club), and so they went their own ways. Chrissie decided to plead guilty to Den's murder, so that is the end of that.
As for Stacey's mum, she was 'sectioned' I believe, or taken into care.
Finally, I was surprised she only received cuts to her legs after 'being hit by a train', as that would either be fatal or cause amputations to the limbs. Seemed a bit silly to me to be hit by a train and just receive a few cuts and bruises. FFS. :rolleyes:
Last night's episode was Chrissie's last in EE. She is now gone. It may also be Frank's last one as well.
BlackKat

I don't think she was actually hit by the train. I presume she was going to but someone saw (there was a jogger nearby) and pulled her off the tracks.
Richie_lecturer
10-12-2005, 15:57
So how did she inflict her injuries?
BlackKat
10-12-2005, 16:09
Well she didn't have any shoes on so she could have cut her feet just from walking there, or got them cut on the wire fence she climbed over.
Oh...it's EastEnders. Stop trying to apply logic to it. :p :lol:

Last night episode was fab! It had me in tears!
Lacey and Gillian (she's the actress who plays Jean, saw on the credits - Gillian Wright) were both fab! The first bit, where Stacey was just lying in Jean's lap was so sweet - it was like everything would be perfect but then the stupid scriptwriters have to let us down again! :mad:
The stupid chavs on bikes annoyed me, but Jean ignored them, yay! But then when she looked at the train thing, I was like :eek: what she gonna do? It wasn't very clear what happened though, which they should have done - a better goodbye between Stacey and Jean might have explained more. Maybe Stacey will explain what happened sometime next week?
The little family photo was sweet, love the little 'Alright Sean?' thing. I think Sean will come in sometime soon - maybe Stacey will track him down as she feels she has no family?
Chrissie and Jake - awww! I loved how Chrissie just like realised how she was never going to be free of Den inless she served time for him. The little engagement ring was so sweet, but Chrissie will never get to wear it! :crying: Loved how they used that gate as like behind bars thing. I think it was quite a good ending but something more dramatic could have been better.
Glad Pat changed her alibi. I always liked Janine for some reason and think it'd be great if she came back - but wish she hadn't left Frank! It would have be nice in a few years to have a little thing away from Walford where they have this great father-daughter relationship. Janine leaving Frank was so unneeded! If Charlie Brookes wanted to come back in a couple of years and Mike Reid didn't, she could cos she performed most of her storylines without him! They could have Frank just being somewhere else at the time or he dies (for proper this time :p)
9.5/10 - a great episode but some things just made me mad, lol

Im sure if they had offered her as much as the Magnificent Mitchells :rolleyes: then she would have considered returning. IMHO the money would have been much better spent :)
Maybe she wouldn't. Spending time with your children is more important than any amount of money.

usually about 2 or 3 o clock it depends though
It starts at 2.15 today and ends at 4.10.

Then why appear in Bleak House :searchme:

friday nights episode was brilliant! ee is definately back on top form now, i loved it how they connected each ot the three storylines up together, with them all walking through the square. I have never been a chrissie fan and always wanted her to be sent to pison and get justice, but now i actually feel sorry for her after fridays episode, i wanted her to escape when all year round ive been furious each time she gets away with something. Im so glad pat didnt give evidence not just for janine, but o herself i dont think it would have doen her character any good after she would ahev sent someone to prison. And the whole stacey thing was brilliant, all those teenagers looked really threatening i think LOL. I presume the boy in the photo os staceys brother as he looked the same sor oof age as her but why would her mum turn the picture over his face????

So have I. Why can they not make it consistently good instead of one or two episodes per month. I really feel thats it probably due to having different writers for each episode. After all if each of us on here wrote a consecutive episode think of the dogs dinner that would be. Maybe the folk at Elstree dont talk to each other hence the half baked storylines and numerous personality changes. :searchme:

Why is Lacey Turner being used to prop up this dire Ruby/Juley story. She is clearly the better actress out of her and Louisa Lytton, last week alone proved that.
Ruby is the worst friend ever. Juley is a vile creature and if it wasn't for the fact that I've read the spoilers I'd say they completely deserve each other.
BlackKat
12-12-2005, 21:22
Oh and it's nice that Alfie and Little Mo can be completely at ease with each other. Despite the fact that they haven't been in the same scene since it came out that...oh, he two-timed her with Kat. And he broke her heart. And had sex with Kat while she was upstairs. So nice that they can be so free and friendly when discussing Honey's love life, so nice they can laugh together about the dirty text messages.
Dear lord, did the writer even watch the show??
And on a similar note, what bird has nested on Little Mo's head and why hasn't she noticed yet?
Richie_lecturer
12-12-2005, 21:24
Oh dear that was not very good at all.
Ruby and Juley - who cares? I don't.
Gary and Minty - a poor man's Chas 'n Dave.
Billy and Honey - Boring. Why do they waste the likes of quality actors in Perry Fenwick on the worst storylines. Honey is like Lil Mo, a drip.
EE cannot do comedy, well not that sort anyway. They should watch some of the older stuff and learn, like Ethel's little willy for example.
Pauline and Mr Benn - If it had been anyone other than Pauline I may have liked it. What does Mr Benn see in that witch anyway? :searchme: Still not taking to Joe either, though I don't think that's down to the acting side of it.
Alfie and Nana - a bit dull. I'm not too keen on Nana but I'd rather it was Shane Ritchie leaving Walford in a box this week rather than Hilda Braid.
Only nice bits were Ian and Jane as usual. :)
Christopher Reason wrote the episode. He wrote the brilliant rape of Kathy by Wilmott-Brown all those years ago, that really memorable stuff. What on earth went wrong 17 years later? :(

I think they either need to seriously re-organise how they write the show (ie, have regular meetings, have the script writers talk to each other), or they need to start the project to clone Sarah Phelps.
It's not even the quality that's annoying -- if it was like that all the time I just wouldn't watch. It's the fact that they can have an amazing week like last week and then just go downhill the next.

Corrie and Emmerdale have weekly get-togethers with the writers, whereas EE does it monthly.
There lies part of the problem.

The Minty/Garry/Billy/Honey/Alfie thingy - had to admit it was a bit funny, especially when Minty goes 'some complete swine ... who doesn't have a life' I like the Honey/Billy thing for some reason, so it's sorta sweet lol

Yes, absolutely right. That nonsense with the phone was dire.
Perhaps the Coronation Street scriptwriters should hold a seminar for the Eastenders scriptwriters and teach them how to write comedy...

Truth be told I wouldn't put it past Johnny to secretly install a cam in Juleys place and his place just to keep tabs on Ruby.. that man is possessed /obsessed which ever !!!!!!:wall:
Did anyone else think it was strange last night when Stacey did the phone thing to fool Johnny into thinking Ruby was at home and not at Juley's. In realk life if you tried that you'd get that beeping noise.

I know! Peter and Lucy Beale must be the saddest 12 year olds ever! No mates and they spend their birthday party with Dot, Pauline, Ian and Jane. How pathetic and so unrealistic. Don't they have any friends their own age? I mean their birthday was on Friday, and yet they decide to hold it on the Monday night? A school night? And no guests, no nothing. The writers of EastEnders obviously don't go to many 12 year old birthday parties. I do wonder sometimes what planet these people are on.
