View Full Version : What an episode
That for me was one of the best eastenders episodes in years.
I absoulty loved, eastenders back at its best
great acting by Steve Mcfadden and Ian
Agreed!
I thought the episode was superb. :bow:
Yes, it was very good. Poor Phil, it was quite upsetting when you saw that pic of Ben on the road :(
Steve McFadden's acting was very good!
FAN BLOODY TASTIC Steve Mcfadden was excellent can't wait till he returns oh my god can't believe I just said that and he can get revenge on Ian the slime ball
Pauline's face was classic whe he ran through her house he he and poor Billy he tried so hard and go Pat she was ace too
POOR Phil though please someone let him out
Cant wait till both Peggy and Phil return :D

God, that was great.
I really wasn't expecting to enjoy it seeing as I've never been a big Phil fan, but...wow.
I liked the scene where he was talking about Ben, and how he didn't recognise his voice. Quite a quiet moment compared to the rest of the episode, but it didn't feel out of place.
i agree,ee was back on top form tonight and i was starting to think i wouldnt be able to say that again.poor phil! stupid billy walking in with the money in his hand,hope he didnt walk across the square displaying it like that.pat was great helping phil like that,billy did his best.shame tina had to show her mug.great that phil trusted sonia not to let them in.great acting from ian,but i sooo hope he gets his come uppence.but how come when the ep ended last night tina was still in the club working but then when it started tonight she was in bed.johnny was at home also yet the club was stil open because as you could see minty and garry were queing to get in.anyway ,bloody brilliant episode,shame it will go down hill again now that phil wont be back for a while!

id like to c phil and grant bak together and show johnny how to "rule" walford
who does johnny think he is telling billy to tell phil not to come back?
I know he has not right at all who does he think he is can't wait until the summer Ian Beale better watch out the slimy git
tonight has got to be one of the best in a long time! i didnt want to see phil back but now i cant wait till he returns again.
he acted so well his eyes were so evil! i was scared! when he comes back ian had better watch himself phil is gonna get him!!
eastenders is worth watching again
Ian was squeaking like a mouse!

Ian was squeaking like a mouse!
Yes Ian was rather pathetic tonight, he's got successful businesses, a great girlfriend and 3 beautiful children, but faced with Phil, he turns into a snivelling mess. It's like Ian was reduced to the man that he was when he became bankrupt, desperate! I suppose it was showing what a bully can reduce you too.
I liked the fact that Sonia stood up for Phil tonight, the way they bonded at the hospital (when Jamie was dying) showed an emotional side too Phil, and I think she's seen a side too him that not many people have seen. I didn't like the way Pauline called Sonia a 'silly girl', Pauline's is always belittling people. She had absolutely no right to do that. Maybe on this occasion Sonia was wrong to support Phil, but that was her choice to make.
Phil does still have some allies on the square, not many but a few. Billy is family and did everything he could to get Phil the money to escape, but in the end it was too late. Sonia may still feel some loyalty to Phil and the Mitchell family. Pat did what she could too stall the police, so Phil could escape. I think there's is a community atmosphere in the square, people do step in to protect their neighbours. Overall great episode!

Phil's a thug and a bully. How come everyone is now feeling sorry for him? I think he got what he deserved.
Right, that's Phil dealt with! Steve McFadden on the other hand is a great actor and he was absolutely superb tonight. In that sense I would like to see him back to liven up Eastenders. It was certainly the best episode in a long time.
it was the best episode in years i couldnt turn me head from the tv was brilliant acting

tonight was the best episode in a long time it was soo exciting and heart racing, phil was superb hope he is bk soon.
liked the fact that he saw minty and gary but not sam.
and i totally hate johnny allen, he was boring and always will be, he was only thinking of tina. boooooooooooooooooooooring.
hate pauline.
hate ian
Have to admit I enjoyed this episode and even felt myself warming back to Phil again. Time will tell.

I loved it when Ian had his head flushed down the toilet! I wish Phil had looked at the calendar that Ian has put up in the Arches.
Running through Paulines house was great! Good old Sonia.
I missed the bit where Phil ran into Minty! I turned round to have a bit of my dinner and turned back and Phil was running again. Ah, well.
Lol! But the flushing of Ian's head down the loo is becoming a bit stale this is the third time he has had his head shoved down the loo. The first time was the funniest Phil, Kathy, Ian, not sure if there was someone else, were all in a restaurant, Phil collared Ian in the loo and flushed!!
I like it when we see the softer side of Phil which we did slightly tonight after he had taken Lucy into the living room while Ian answered the door to the police. I wouldn't be happy if the cops knocked me up during the night, I hate been woken up so they would prob be told where to go!! LOL

it was good. my boyfriend was saying "ian's gonna grass him up" and i was like "no he won't" and then he did. i thought pat was really funny it it aswell.
Ian will regret that though when phils back on the square for good! :)

I thought that Eastenders was back to its best last nite.I cant believe that Ian stitched Phil up i was convinced that he was going to help phil.I think that Jonny allen is the worst gangster i any hunter was.Maybe there will be a darker side to him
Johnny is an excellent gnagster he is an "old type" gangster who looks after the community and only mixes it with his own kind, sure if you cross him you'd better watch out! I liked Andy but he was a ruthless gangster, didn't care who he hurt to get what he wanted. Remember last night Johnny told Billy "tell that relative of yours not to come back, I don't want his kind in my neighbourhood". Billy was actually quite good last night, now he is working for Johnny he is becoming a more interesting character. Just a shame Johnny is such a lousy father. I didn't think that Ian was going to grass Phil either, I thought he was for real and really wanted to help Phil and put the past behind them once and for all. Oh Ian what have you done!!
One thing I was curious about, remember when Ian was having a facial in the loo and Jane came to the bathroom door? She asked him what he was doing, Ian said he was being sick and that he would go down and get a glass of water, Jane said O.k "I'll keep the bed warm" but never bothered to go down to see if Ian was O.K after several minutes.

what did he say at the end because i didnt hear?

It was a really good episode but was I the only one who could not stop laughing?!
Watching him attempt to out run the police was hysterical!
i was laughing at ian
but at the end when he was fightin the police i thought it was going to go all matrix style when he knocked about 3 of them down lol
True Mitchell style! LOL!
What about Pauline and the way she spoke to Sonia "you stupid girl!", did you see the look on Martin's face..oh dear
Just imagine Phil coming charging through your back door! LOL

I thought Pauline was out of order for calling Sonia a silly girl. Pity Phil didn't deck her. :lol:
Last nights episode was great viewing and well done to Steve Mcfadden. Lets hope EE keeps the momentum going. I can't wait for Phil to return and wreak revenge. I'm surprised at Ian for grassing him up, but guess he thinks Phil will be in the slammer for a long time.

Something like "you'll get more than your head flushed down the loo in prison"

Someone needs to. I thought for a minute it might be Martin. Still we all know why she has a bee in her bonnet don't we :)
well ian will obviously think hes going down for a long time everyone would armed robbery murder escaping from jail assaulting coppers that would be a very long sentence but last night showed how much eastenders have missed phil he set the show alight just like he used to in the past not many characters can do that it wont be to long before hian gets his comeupence and phil will be back in the archers but i was dissapointed to see him drinking hope they dont go down the alcoholism storyline with him again
Absolutely fantastic episode! Definately the best im a very long time! It had everything; highs and lows, well balanced and great acting from all! Can't wait until Phil is back on the Square to regain the Mitchell Empire - with Peggy, Sam and hopefully Grant too!!
im sure after seeing last nights episode ross kemp will not be able to turn ee down
he should pay them to let him come back to what looks like is going to be the best soap in britain once again

it was in the mirror yesterday that they are close to finalising a deal with Ross Kemp
hope ross kemp does come back then the Mitchell brothers can be Reunited like the old days
a great comeback scene would be ian sat in the archers checkin the books then he turns suddenly as he hears a noise only to see phil and grant stood behind him as grant has just bailed phil outa jail then the dum dums kick in
i would love Phil and Grant to go after Ian that would wipe the smile of his face

I forgot for a moment he isn't supposed to be drinking. I suppose when you're facing jail and on the run, you're not bothered about falling of the wagon.

the drink makes him crazy, he had mental scary eyes last night!!
maybe ee 4got he is an ex alcoholic

billy might of just been concernd that if phil were to down vodka as quickly as he was he may of thrown up over pats lovley decor LOL

imagine when peggy comes back and sees pat living in what she thought was her house will be great
parkerman
20-04-2005, 16:15

No they didn't. Billy said to Phil that he thought he'd given up drink because he was an alcholic and Phil said he was back on the booze...or words to that effect.
Sorry, just realised Rach has already pointed this out...
imagine when peggy comes back and sees pat living in what she thought was her house will be great
that is going to be fun cause we all know that Pat and peggy don't get on

It was funny when Ian was squealing please Phil, :eek: don't! How many houses did he actually go in, he went in:
Ian's
Pat's
Pauline's
Ian better watch out in hte autumn, because thats when Phil returns. :rotfl:
Ugh i thought Phil was too violent. Poor Ian.

True Mitchell style! LOL!

Can you tell me what Martin's face looked like? I turned away after Pauline said 'you silly little girl' I was cringing, Pauline was so out of order. I felt sorry for Sonia. Did Martin have a face like he wanted to say something to his mum, or like he felt disapointment towards Sonia? Sonia is such a brave women, an escaped convict charges into her house, and she still manages to remain calm, and even offer help to him. I know the history with Jamie and everything but I still think she's very good, considering I'm not sure he would do the same for her. However maybe he would, if he has taken his promise too Jamie to heart, which I'm thinking he may have done.
I am looking forward to moments between Phil and Sonia in the future, they as well as her an Martin have a shared history.

was it actually ian who told the police where phil would be then. because he said to phil go to the archers and i will get the money and as phil left the archers you saw the police heading over that way. and as phil was getting into the car ian said something like i can do better than sticking your head down the toilet! was all good though!

adam and steve were aqbsolutely fantastic. Thank God for Phil for livening up the square! Now we just have to wait till may for another brilliant episode. Can't wait to see Kat!
does anyone know what the ratings were like?
Second lowest ever for that day apparently - just flicked through the newspaper in work so I can't remember the exact figure, but I think it was just over 10 million. Or maybe that was Mondays now I come to think on it ... :confused:

steve definately still has what it takes. roll on summer to see all the mitchells back together. that was a fantastic episode - now you really have got to hate Ian imagine what ity must have took phil to trust ian after everything but even i thought he was genuine when he said ben was his brother and he didnt want to hurt him so he would help phil and put an end to their feud. he was right kids will ale=ways get to phil - he is such a softy in his own way.
how on earth will he get out of jail now and when he does how will he avoid killing ian for what he has done and going back is that how they will bring grant back to help him exact revenge and get all the mitchell properties back. phil might be broke but you can bet grant aint.
it would be good to see lots of action they have alot of grudges to settle - dennis ian etc and johnny telling him to not come back was a storyline in itself.
imagine if sam leaves by being killed in the crossfire that would be so good otherwise she would never leave now all her family is back
Fantastic eppi.. best for a long time.. Ian reduced to a snivelling wreck.. excellent and then playing the big man when the police had phil... Fair play to Pat and Sonia trying to stall for time
Well done EE :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
If Ian had helped Phil would have owned him, which would have been best for Ian. But now I wouldn't like to be in Ians shoes when Phil gets back.
The punches Phil threw against the coppers were tops! (Disclaimer: to any youngsters reading this, always respect the law).
it definately would have stopped phil from getting him all the time!! phil is going to make his life hell!!

I have to write in reply to all the above, that it was the WORST episode of EE I have ever seen, talk about OVER acting on Steve McFadden's part, all that screaming, threatening and bullying got him where he belonged in Jail for GOOD I hope, as for Ian, well that episode did him NO favours. I thought EE was supposed to be getting away from the violent scenes... lets have have a few torrid love affairs PLEASE....

Oh please, it would be called "Bed swap".. I know EE did a version of changing room with Irene and Pat.. maybe they should do a "wife Swap" thing.. oh wait is that what Alfie is doing :rotfl:
yeah best episode in ages. the acting was great. It was really good to see the community spirit, with Billy, Pat and Sonia all trying to help Phil. Pat's a legend!
