Current Episode Discussion V

[Babe14]

Another Brilliant episode and very well done. I love the Jake/Grant/Phil interaction, they all work very well together. Some very good comical remarks from Grant.

Great viewing.

[leanne27]

cant wait for tonights when they all find out Ben's missing this might make Ian wisen up and put Ben's feelings before his own, and it may show to him just how much Phill actually cares for Ben- he must if he agrees to pray with Dot! LOL

[parkerman]

I feel sorry for Ben, the poor kid has Phil for a dad, Peggy for a grandmother and Ian for a half-brother. I would run far, far away if I was him.

:rotfl: :lol: :rotfl: :lol: :rotfl:

As much as I love your laughs.. I prefer your comments more.. this doesn't add to the topic so try write something more constructive.. cheers parkerman

You crack me up!:rotfl: It is so true poor lad. Well Jane as a sister in law is not that bad, me thinks.

I might say this doesn't add anything either.

[Siobhan]

I might say this doesn't add anything either.

You are right it doesn't and it is totally of topic, it was a friendly warning, rather than an offical one as you haven't done anything wrong so far.....

[Em]

Yep you gotta feel sorry for the kid!

I think hes been a good little actor - he is so unlike phil though! I hope it works out for the two of them, it must be really hard for phil

[Florijo]

Bert kissing that women....my eyes....my eyes.... :sick: :eek: :ninja:

Anyone else feel that Dot is turning into a bit of a caricature, shes been so OTT in some of this episode and I really don't care that Joe has been in prison?

[x Amby x]

I thought this episode was alright tonight! Loved the bit when they all went into Dot and Jims to read the bible! lol and Kevin trying to shut Keith up! Well, someone has too! lol! Bert and that woman made me want to heave! lol Dot cracks me up, i love her and her little dictaphone! lol

[DaVeyWaVey]

An ok episode tonight. I found the Dot scenes very OTT and tedious though. I think Dot is a great character but i am tired of her looking through her binoculars through her window all the time being suspicious about Joe and Bert. I don't actually care anymore and it's got so boring :thumbsdow The Ben stuff was good. Overall 5/10 :)

I agree, the whole storyline with Dot is running low and isnt even humourous

[BlackKat]

Bert popping up at the window made me laugh, but that's the only time the storyline has been funny. I just hope now the "secret" is out it will be over -- although we'll probably have weeks of Joe trying to get Pauline to forgive her.

I do like Bert though -- more than I like Joe right now.

[Johnny Allen]

That Bert part cracked me up, it made me jump out of my skin. The Ben storyline was very well acted, and I thought overall it was a very good episode.

[littlemo]

I really didn't like that episode. I found that religious stuff really boring! I don't watch EE to listen to people having debates about the bible. I love Dot, she's a great character, and her religion is part of who she is. But it's just one persons view. I think the rest of the residents find her quoting from the bible, completely ridiculous. Easter eggs is what Easter's about for most people.

I'm liking the Beale/Mitchell stuff. The rest of it was just boring!

I agree about the whole religious thing, its fine to have mentions of religion at Easter/Christmas etc but there was too much. Plus I think Dot is becoming OTT now, she needs to tone it down as I find her too ridiculous at times, espcially her obsession with Joe.

[DaVeyWaVey]

I thought it was good that some religious aspects were added to last night's episode as it added in the fact that it was Good Friday. I do agree though that Dot is becoming very OTT :)

[Chris_2k11]

Haha just watched last night's episode on tape, loved the bit where Bert jumped up at the window! :rotfl:

[leanne27]

Haha just watched last night's episode on tape, loved the bit where Bert jumped up at the window! :rotfl:

that was the only funny part i think

[stacyefc]

dot is becoming weird.

i thought it was funny when bert was necking the woman with the red hair and mo seen him.

ian beale is doing my head in though, i hope when ben comes back that phil gets him

[*-Rooney-*]

i liked it when mo spotted bert and the woman and started arguing with him in the square and dot saw this, then the next thing you see is dot tapping on the window and inviting mo in, where mo spilt the beans about joe

[Dutchgirl]

Well, well busy week for Phil and Ian last week. Joe please tell Pauline, it is doing my head in. Hope we have more Bradley and Stacey the upcoming week. And no Sonia and Naomi, please.....

[stacyefc]

i know sonia and naomi do my head in.

i wish joe would tell pauline imean it was his past so surely they wouldn't split up over it. they might now though cos he has kept it a secret

[Chris_2k11]

Who's that woman?? I've seen here before!

[Florijo]

Don't know about Little Mo but I'm sick of Freddie crying as well. Is there actually something wrong with him or something?

Dawn wanting to be a model? Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Stupid, stupid Ben. You had the chance to get away from that family and you failed miserably. Shame on you.

[callummc]

totally boring episode,i would have thought that they would have tried harder to make the bank holiday episode more interesting

[BlackKat]

So, the police searched for Ben, the residents of the Square searched for Ben, Phil and Ian were out all night, going everywhere 3 times, looking for Ben…yet they all missed the doctors surgery, which is right across the Square. Okay.

I’m beyond bored with this Joe storyline. I don’t care what he did. I don’t care if he kills Dot in order to keep his secret. I don’t care if he massacres the entire Square. I don’t care if he killed Laura bloody Palmer…I just don’t care. :mad:

[Dutchgirl]

Don't know about Little Mo but I'm sick of Freddie crying as well. Is there actually something wrong with him or something?


Sometimes children pick up on stress of parents and react to it. And now he cannot stop crying?

[littlemo]

Sometimes children pick up on stress of parents and react to it. And now he cannot stop crying?

She's certainly very stressed! But would that explain why he cries constantly when he's with other people as well, family members?! He should feel at ease with them, shouldn't he?!

I really feel sorry for Little Mo. It must drive her mad! It can't be easy. Maybe she should take a holiday with Freddie, that would probably relax them both. It wouldn't have to be far, just a few days away. Brighton? or Blackpool? somwhere like that.

[littlemo]

Who's that woman?? I've seen here before!

She was Martin's girlfriend in Corrie. Her name was Robyn. I wasn't sure either. I seemed to remember she was in Coronation St. but couldn't remember what character she played. I read it on DS.

Apparently she also played a part in Heartbeat.

[*-Rooney-*]

since when has dot bacame so judgemental, i thought according to the bible everyone deserved a chance. plus not to be funny but look at her own son and her grandson they were both criminals. nick was in and out of prison all his life and even after he tried to kill her she still thought he deserved another chance to prove he can be changed, after all this nothing changed so why doesnt she give joe a chance he only did 2 6 month stretches

[leanne27]

totally agree with you, its not as if Joe is a cold blooded killer like her precious son i think its hilarious how she constantly preaches to people and then becomes all judging and unforgiving just like emil from corrie she was meant to be all religious and then wouldn't forgive that Ed person (i know he killed her husband) but it was an accident and served his time in prison

[littlemo]

Dot is just trying to protect a friend. She is very judgemental, but I think if Pauline was to know the whole truth and still wanted to carry on things with Joe, Dot would try her best to respect her decision. It's the fact that Joe hasn't told Pauline that he spent time in prison, and married her under 'false pretences'. Pauline might not have a problem with it, but he should have given her all the information, before she made a commitment to him. Even Joe's daughter thought he should.

Also it's very easy to preach about other people, but when it comes to your family, it's a different story. Dot doesn't condone what Nick's done, in fact she has disowned him several times. But he is still her son!

Emily eventually forgave Ed. I couldn't put myself in that situation, so I don't know what it must have taken to do that. But again if something effects your family you'd react differently than if something happened to somebody else.

[x Amby x]

Will someone please shut Freddie up, hes eriously getting on my nerves with all that crying. I thought the stuff between Carly and Dawn was funny! Carlys reaction to the whole modeling thing made me laugh! Ian's doing my head in! He keeps on doing that- promising something to Phil then breaking it, can't he just keep his promise for once and not just to get his own way?

[Siobhan]

Will someone please shut Freddie up, hes eriously getting on my nerves with all that crying.

mmmm that is what babies do!! Very hard to keep a baby quiet and it is there only way to tell you that something is wrong

[emma_strange]

Awww can i just say how cute is Ben? When he was talking to phil saying he had no fillings. Whenever hes on i just want to go 'Awwwww'.

[Florijo]

Please stop with this Dot/Joe secret thing. Please, I beg you EE. :wall:

Ben and Phil was quite sweet. Getting sick of Ian and his attitude. Just shut the hell up. Phil may be Phil but he is Ben's dad not you.

Dawn and Carly. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I really don't like Carly.

[littlemo]

Quite boring really! Not enough Bradley and Stacey!

I agree Ian is a pain in the neck. Ben deserves to get to know his dad properly. There is more to him than his violent temper.

Dawn and Carly, I agree completely crap! Completely agree with Stacey's comment. Dawn seems to be very superficial.

The only thing that I found quite good was when the Dr asked Little Mo out. I thought it was very sweet. He's so shy, if you hadn't read about it beforehand you wouldn't know he was attracted to her. Ah!

The thing I find really strange is the fact that Billy and Honey are a few steps away from Little Mo all the time and yet they never speak to each other!

[DaVeyWaVey]

Good episode tonight. The only things that bored me were the whole Joe/Bert/Dot thing. When will this whole story end?!?! I thought Dot would have forgiven Joe anyway as what he did was in the past and she's a Christian so i thought that she would have forgave him by now.
The Carly/Dawn scene was quite dissapointing. I thought that a proper fight might have broken out.
Betty being ran over was just laughable.
The good bits were with Ben/Phil/Ian/Jane. Ian is being pretty pathetic though over Phil and Ben bonding together. It's about time Phil spent some proper time with Ben :)
Overall 7/10 :)

[crazygirl]

good episode tonight

Bradley knocking betty down :lol:
dawn getting a shiner :rotfl:

[Johnny Allen]

I really enjoyed the Ben and Phil stuff, that was quite endearing.

[chance]

Glad Ben said yes to sleeping over the vic and shoved ian up the ass,thought it was very nice of jane doing what she did.
Hate littlemo and that doctor but that carly annoys me the most right now,she is terrible

[DaVeyWaVey]

I really like Carly but that's because she slapped Dawn :D
I thought that Little Mo and the doc are quite sweet together but i agree with you that it was nice what Jane did, she is seeing both sides of the story and is only trying to be fair and trying to handle the Ben situation in an adult way but Ian just chucks it back in her face. Jane deserves so much better, if Ian carries on like he is, he is guaranteed to lose Jane. I am glad Ben said yes to sleeping over the Vic as well.
Another thing i forgot to add was that i was shocked by tonight's ending of the episode. It was way out of Joe's character to blackmail Dot so i was quite surprised :eek:
It was ok episode tonight though.

[CrazyLea]

I thought tonights/last nights, was really boring. The phil/ian/ben stuff, is beginning to annoy me. Dawn/Carly, so whiney. I liked Bradley and Stacey, and thought it was kinda funny when Betty got ran over (only funny, cause she survived of course) But yeah, last nights made me realise i probably didn't miss much on Monday.

[JustJodi]

I thought the whole Phil and Ben thing was sweet, it may be boring to some, but you guys gotta remember, Phil is trying to build a relationship with that little boy who has spent so much time in SA..the kid is slowly getting to know Phil.. so I find it endearing as well,,

The Doc Oliver and Lil Mo was a bit hard to take...I just didn't see that coming,,Now what will be interesting, who is gonna baby sit Freddie while she goes to "dinner" with the good Doc ??

It has been a long time since I have seen the Millers, was nice seeing rosie for a change , we did see a bit of Keef last week..

Poor ol'Betty being hit by a fancy car, and Joe taking the pup to the vet and Dot getting the vapors LOL Joe fixed Dot's fixation blabbing to Pauline about his past well for the moment,,,

I still wanna slug Ian in the face being such a jerk to Jane, if all the rumours are true that Jane has a bit on the side,, then more power to her !!!!!!!!!!!! Serves Ian right !!!!!!!!!!!

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I havent said alot in here recently so ill try and do them all today

I only say last thursdays and fridays on sunday, loved it because there was so much of Ben but i was sorry to see him go missing bless him but im so glad that lovely doctor found him at the beginning of this week.

It was nice all the square went out looking for him Deano Kevin Keith and the gang, it really does go to show that in a crisis the Square really can pull together.

Its all really been about the Mitchell/Beale feud over Ben which to be quite honest is getting old now but good on Jane though for taking him over there.

[tammyy2j]

Ok episode loved Ben and Phil parts.

Ian is being a pain. Carly/Dawn and Joe/Dot segements were awful.

When did Carly and Dawn not get along. I didn't even think they knew each other. Both are terrible characters.

I think it's just that Dawn thinks she's "it" and cut out to be a model and this annoys Carly so that's why they don't get along.
I agree Dawn is a terrible character at the moment but Carly is ok.
If they gave a serious storyline for Dawn to do, then she may grow on me but this modelling rubbish is putting me off her character.

Dawn always annoyed me, she thinks that she is above everyone else but her head is so far up her own ass that she crawls around on all fours looking for a light switch..:angry: Carly is more down to earth and like most people hate pompous gits who think they are better than everyone else...

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Dawn is really annoying she has been since day one really and although i wouldnt say im Carly's biggest fan either i do find my self warming to her sometimes and lastnight was one of those times good on her for smacking Dawn :cheer:

[?????]

Well iwasn't that the best cliffhanger they've ever had! Talk about a ridiculous turn of events for this never ending storyline!

[leanne27]

Cant believe i missed last nights! it sounded really good what with the ben/phill stuff and the carly vs dawn thing.

[shannisrules]

Cant believe i missed last nights! it sounded really good what with the ben/phill stuff and the carly vs dawn thing.

you talk about the dawn/carly stuff as if it were good ..well it wasnt dont worry you didnt miss much the only good things were bradley/stacey and teh dog erm and phil and ben oh and little mo and oliver and that was about it

[dddMac1]

good episode last night.Ian is been so pathetic all Phil wants to do is get to know ben and Ian is doing his best to destroy it,glad ben said yes.that was great when Joe Blackmailed Dot

[x Amby x]

The Carly vs Dawn was so funny! What on earth was Dawn wearing :eek: Not sure who i want to win out of the two of them, probably Carly! lol Awww how sweet was the Phil and Ben stuff! The look on Ians face when Ben said he wanted to stay at the Vic for a couple of nights! lol

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Im glad Ben said yes put Ian right in his place didnt it bless him :wub:

[Chris_2k11]

Can someone tell me where Pauline's gone?? I know she's gone away somewhere but where?

[Chris_2k11]

Another thing, aren't those type of houses not supposed to have lofts?? :confused:

[BlackKat]

Okay, so I'm quite tired and may have blacked out during that episode...either that, or it didn't make any sense at all. Jane apologising to Grant for off loading everything on him...but she didn't. Where was it explained why Jake now had responsibility for the club? What was Bert's deal with the dvd player about? Why did Joe go round there with it first when Dot was in? What the hell was going on?

[CrazyLea]

Can someone tell me where Pauline's gone?? I know she's gone away somewhere but where?

Dereks I think :p

I didn't mind tonights episode. I liked Jane and Grant, bless them heh. Felt sorry for Ben, with Courtney. Thought Ruby was out of order yelling at Charlie though. And meh Bert is so irritating!

[littlemo]

Charlie was right about what he said. Ruby can't expect him to finance her forever, and her dad is offering to give her what she is entitled to. Either she swallows her pride and excepts what Johnny's offering her, or she'll have to make a lot of sacrifices. Which I don't think she will be happy to do. When she was living with her dad, money grew on trees. It's not as simple as that in the real world is it?!

Loving Grant and Jane!

[DaVeyWaVey]

Good episode tonight. Ruby was out of order shouting at Charlie though, she had no right considering he and his family are giving her a roof over her head and she needs to show responsibility about the club, also she must take the money from Johnny, or where else will she get it from???
Ruby must realise that it's not a crime for people to care about her.
The Grant/Jane scenes were really good, and why did Jim take his dvd player over to Bert and Joe's house???? :confused:
Couldn't Joe and Bert go over to Jim's to watch movies when Dot was around, that would have been a lot easier :confused:
I felt sorry for Ben especially with Courtney hassling him and Grant and Phil arguing, Ben's had enough of that already.
And i am glad Little Mo's date with Dr.Oliver went well and their kiss at the end was really sweet, i hope they develop things further :)
Also, Dawn looked stupid with those sunglasses on.....and Pauline's back, wahooo! :D
Overall 8/10 :)

[BlackKat]

For me Grant and Jane have zilch chemistry I'm afraid. In fact they have gone beyond that and reached the realms of anti-chemistry. It's actually quite sad in a pathetic sort of way -- the actors are spouting off in magazines about their amazing chemistry and you can almost see them thinking in the scenes about how awesome their chemistry is but bless the poor little dears, it just isn't there. :rolleyes:

[tammyy2j]

Little Mo and Dr. Cousins are an awful couple she was only ever suited with Billy. I liked the Phil and Ben parts. Ian has usual was being a pain. Courtney seems to be a right little bully a typical Mitchell trait. Ruby was being a pain last night, Johnny is her dad and she should take the money after all Charlie isn't loaded. Why would Johnny put Jake in charge of his business afterall Jake foiled his brillant plan to get rid of the Mitchells. I am liking Grant and Jane relationship progression.

[Florijo]

I hate Ruby. Spoilt brat! :mad:

The Dr. and Little Mo: I'm not sure about them. There has not been that much build up between them really. A few scenes here or there. Not like the build up with Billy and Mo's relationship which happened over months and months.

Loving Courtney. She's a star and reminds me so much of Tiffany. ( :( )

[Johnny Allen]

That Courtney is a cracker, great casting there. Enjoyed Phil and Ben, their scenes were very good and enjoyed Jane and Grant together.

[chance]

Cant stand ruby and her spoilt behaviour,charlie should chuck her ass out!

Courtney is a spoilt little brat,enjoyed it when phil and grant were arguing about there kids etc.Hate it when when does that thing with his mouth after he speaks!

I forward the scenes with little mo,all that head shaking as she speaks makes me dizzy.

Blimey! shock horror.Bobby was mentioned!

[shannisrules]

The Dr. and Little Mo: I'm not sure about them. There has not been that much build up between them really. A few scenes here or there. Not like the build up with Billy and Mo's relationship which happened over months and months.

im actually quite gald it happened quite quickly otherwise knowing eastenders they would have dragged it out for ages! and eventually we would all be bored of it

[dddMac1]

good episode last night.Ben is a sweet but scared kid.Courtney may be a spoilt Brat but getting used to her.Joe was so close to getting away

[Layne]

God can someone please get rid of ruby! She is doing my nut in! I mean how spolit and selfish does that girl want to be! I think it was completly out of order her shouting at Charlie like that, and if he hadn't of took her in, where would she have gone, she doesn't have a job and she is refussing to take money off her dad/jake she would be screwed,

I am liking Courtey, i don't think we have seen enough of her though, she seems to not have come in on such a big stoyline like Ben did.
Loved the stuff between Phil and Grant arguing about the kids, i knew that it would happen, and i think we are going to see alot more of it!

And Grant and Jane, well i don't know yet, there doesn't seem for me to be alot of chemistry maybe even none at all.

[x Amby x]

Loved the scenes with Grant and Jane! they make a better couple than Jane and Ian! lol Im loving Courtney too! She cracks me up, shes like a true Mitchell! lol Awww the scenes with Ben and Phil were sweet too! x

[Siobhan]

Loved the scenes with Grant and Jane! they make a better couple than Jane and Ian! lol Im loving Courtney too! She cracks me up, shes like a true Mitchell! lol Awww the scenes with Ben and Phil were sweet too! x

Its funny but I can just see Grant and Jane as mates nothing more.. There is a great friendship there

[shannisrules]

tonights episode was good im glad ruby is being a biyt more mature about the whole situation, also loved the scenes between phil and ben i thought peggy was being a bit harsh with him and courtney was acting like a spoilt kid she obviously knows bens dad is a sensitive case but still shouts at him and tells him phil is his dad now!

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

:thumbsdow to Courtney how dare she yell at Ben like that and how dare she make Peggy yell at Ben like that...Phil should have told them what he was letting Ben do so :thumbsdow to Phil aswell

Glad Carly was right about Dawn ive never said i like Carly but :thumbsup: for that its about time Dawn was put in her place and hopefully now she can stop thinking she is better than everyone...she isnt Ben is much better :lol:

The Joe/Pauline/Bert/Dot stuff was crap but i really hope Pauline doesnt mean that about Joe his a good bloke really

[Layne]

Last nights eppi in my eyes was a complete load of rubbish, i ended up like skipping through most of it!

I liek courtney - okay she maybe a bit spoilt and brat like but i think she'll bring some up life to the place :rotfl:
I like Ben and all but he is to quiet for my liking, and i liked the whole carly/dawn thing.

[dddMac1]

fridays episode was good.Pauline should forgive Joe and give him another Chance. Courtney and peggy should not of shouted at Ben but Phil should of told Peggy that he was doing a family tree and told him to draw on the walls

[Siobhan]

fridays episode was good.Pauline should forgive Joe and give him another Chance. Courtney and peggy should not of shouted at Ben but Phil should of told Peggy that he was doing a family tree and told him to draw on the walls

I understand Courtney for shouting at Ben... My daughter would be the same if she saw someone writing on walls, she knows that it is wrong.

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Why do i have a feeling that next time we see that wall the wall will be back to how it was...that would just be typical of Eastenders

[Florijo]

I don't understand why Dot has allowed Bert and Joe to stay the night considering the way she felt about them? :confused: :searchme:

Has Ian ever had a faithfull girlfriend/wife? Cindy, Mel, Laura and now Jane has cheated on him.

[Dutchgirl]

Omg Carly and Dawn as friends, AlbertSquare watch out, they will cause harm to someone. They will be a funny pair.

[shannisrules]

I don't understand why Dot has allowed Bert and Joe to stay the night considering the way she felt about them?

she said it was because she was a christian so basically she couldnt see them out on the streets could she however would god forgive her lol

[littlemo]

I liked that episode. Everybody was at the club hanging out, it was fun. We saw a bit of the younger crowd, Stacey, Bradley, Deano and Ruby. The Ruby thing wasn't what I was expecting. When I read that she was going to smash the club up, I thought she was going to go completely mental. But things worked themselves out pretty quickly. I didn't get how Ruby and Jake suddenly were on speaking terms. They smiled at each other at the end. Was that Grant's influence?!

Do you think they are going to get Ruby and Deano together? they had a moment in tonight's episode. He seemed to have genuine concern for her. The thing about him wanting free drinks was just Deano being Deano. No harm was made by it. I think maybe they could be o.k together.

What exactly did Bradley say to Ruby? I was watching it but the music in the background seemed to drown out what he was saying. Something about his dad being a loser, and something about Johnny?!

Finally Grant and Jane, completely justified I thought! Ian is such an idiot. He treats her badly and then he expects her to come running when he can't cope. She shouldn't have to put up with that! Grant is really good looking! They make a great couple.

[Dutchgirl]

Ooh yeah, tall strong man, without hair mind you. But fitter than Ian any day and some spine as well.

[crazygirl]

great episode tonight i loved every bit of it

[Layne]

That episode made me hate ruby a whole lot more! She is 17 for gods sake people not a little six year old girl :rolleyes: so everyone treat her as a 17 year old!
I dunno about the whole Jane and Grant thing, i think they are growing on me, but i still odn't think there is much chemistry but i don't know!
The stuff with carly and Dawn was good i think and nice seeing garry aswell!
And yey jakey behind the club bar again :cheer: :wub: !
So overall good eppi apart from ruby Phhfft!

[Johnny Allen]

see I think Grant and Jane have a real sexual chemistry between the pair of them, but just hurry up and get it on already. Gary Hobbs what a comic guy, they really should give him more storylines, my brother doesn't watch EE but when he's on the PC and hears Gary's chat up lines he cracks up. And Ruby well what a spoilt brat, are you stupid kid you can't have alcohol your not 18.

[littlemo]

Ruby's 18 this year. I'm not sure what month.

I can understand Jake's concern, but it's not like she's the only 17 year old ever to have a drink. If they disguised it and kept it to a minimum, I think it should have been o.k. Johnny's given Ruby alcohol in the club before now. Obviously the licence is important. But if they don't broadcast it.

When you go into a club in real-life most of them in there are under 18. In fact very few are over. It's usually for the young.

But I suppose rules are rules!

[chance]

My other half reckons grant will end up sleeping with ruby (you heard it hear first)

What made me giggle tonight was the fact ian was keeping the fish and chip shop open cus the punters from the club were going to bound on over to him after,all you got in the chippie was a dodgy looking women and couple of farmer type blokes,not really looking like they were out clubbing. :rotfl:

Johnny's given Ruby alcohol in the club before now. Obviously the licence is important. But if they don't broadcast it.

When you go into a club in real-life most of them in there are under 18. In fact very few are over. It's usually for the young.

But I suppose rules are rules!

It wasn't that she wanted a 'real' drink -- it was that she was acting like a spoilt brat and throwing the bottles about. And she wasn't exactly subtle about giving the booze out to Stacey.

Plus it isn't even her club, and I don't know why people are acting like it is. Until she's 18, it's Johnny's club and just as she didn't have any say when he ran it, she doesn't technically have any say now.

[tammyy2j]

Ok episode Ruby was annoying as usual.

Jane so wants Grant and i think they are good together with good chemistry. So the chippie was opened up again. While i do feel sorry for Ian as he lost his mum he really isn't treating Jane well.

Bradley looked like terrible at the bar counter when Ruby and Stacey walked in, what was he wearing? Stacey seems to have the same stylist as Kat did.

[?????]

good eppy i must say. also does anyone notice the way jake looks at ruby these days, its really freaky...

[tammyy2j]

good eppy i must say. also does anyone notice the way jake looks at ruby these days, its really freaky...

Yes it is but i think he is being very protective of her now or maybe as she is Johnny's daughter he is blaming her for Danny's death.

[dddMac1]

good episode last night.i was suprised Dot let Bert and Joe stay and it was nice of her to get Pauline to go Round and See Joe

[shannisrules]

i dont know why but i thought it was really funny when grant just picked up ruby and started walking with her, im not feeling a lot of chemistry between grant and jane at the moment maybe i will tonight

[Katy]

grant was funny when he picked up Ruby. Ian was a complete jerk, im not surprised Jane went and kissed Grant, the selfish man.

[Siobhan]

Maybe it is just where I live but there is no way anyone under the age of 18 would be allowed into any night club or pubs after 7pm even if they did own it.... Stacey and Ruby should never have been let in

[shannisrules]

Maybe it is just where I live but there is no way anyone under the age of 18 would be allowed into any night club or pubs after 7pm even if they did own it

ye maybe it is where you live lol in my area people dont really check your age if you look 18 thn you get in well there is a limit but most 17 year old and some 16 year olds will get in i think it was fine that stacey and ruby were allowed in as jake was looking after them and initially they had their own corner with non alcaholic drinks

[Siobhan]

that was fine then but she has been in there a few times so maybe it is where you come from

[Katy]

i think that it didnt show a realistic view. it would have been more so if they were in the office or something.

[JustJodi]

Maybe it is just where I live but there is no way anyone under the age of 18 would be allowed into any night club or pubs after 7pm even if they did own it.... Stacey and Ruby should never have been let in

And Deano as well,, hes a little bitty prat, I can not stand the sight of this little booger,, and I agree no one Ruby or Stacey or Deano's age should have been in that night club. Grant should have known better and Jake as well,, tsk tsk:nono:

[JustJodi]

that was fine then but she has been in there a few times so maybe it is where you come from

My sister in law couldn't get in a club even when she was 21 and obviously pregnat, just cos she didn't look her age, they had to card her,In the States, they are pretty STRICT about even how old the kids look, they will check, and if they see something dodgy about the ID they will check that too...But some clubs are just too damn greedy and will let any one in, and no wonder there are so many wide eyed drunken young teens out there:angry:

[BlackKat]

And Deano as well,, hes a little bitty prat, I can not stand the sight of this little booger,, and I agree no one Ruby or Stacey or Deano's age should have been in that night club. Grant should have known better and Jake as well,, tsk tsk:nono:

As far as I'm aware Deano is 18. He's been served drinks in the Vic before and he was drinking at the bar last night.

[di marco]

Maybe it is just where I live but there is no way anyone under the age of 18 would be allowed into any night club or pubs after 7pm even if they did own it.... Stacey and Ruby should never have been let in

where i live people go to pubs and clubs as young as 15, as long as you can make yourself look 18 and have a fake id no one cares

[littlemo]

where i live people go to pubs and clubs as young as 15, as long as you can make yourself look 18 and have a fake id no one cares

Yeah I don't think it's unusal for people under 18 to be allowed in a club. They sometimes ask for id, but not always.

Someone up above was saying about America, but your not allowed to buy drinks until your 21 there, so they are bound to be stricter.

[di marco]

Someone up above was saying about America, but your not allowed to buy drinks until your 21 there, so they are bound to be stricter.

yeh america i found is a lot stricter than over here. over here i have been able to get into pubs for a few years now and be served alcoholic drinks, in america when we went last year (i was 17 at the time) there was this bar in the hotel and we were there for a wedding and we werent even allowed to sit in the bar with everyone else and have soft drinks cos we werent 21, they wanted id from us

[Chris_2k11]

Is it just me or did Jane's voice sound really similar to Kathy's just then when she was shouting at Ian in the kitchen??

[BlackKat]

That was the raunchy table scene?! EE really needs to stop hyping these things up, the Kat/Alfie one was a complete wet balloon, and so was that. Unless there's more sex scenes coming up, I don't see how that was groundbreaking, or different from any other sex scene we've seen in EE. :rolleyes:

And at least some of those other couples had chemistry. The lack of it between Grant and Jane is really quite pathetic. As is the entire storyline -- they're going to make Ian out to be the bad guy, emphasising all of his horrible points and forgetting about his good side. Then, when Jane is just about ready to leave Ian for Grant, Ian will snap out of it and become a wonderful human being, leaving her torn.

^That, by the way, is not a spoiler. It's a prediction, because it's so damn obvious what's going on. :mad:

[Florijo]

I'm really not keen on Grant right now, his first return back on Oct last year was good but this second return is leaving me cold. I'm really not interested in seeing Grant having numerous flings.

[CrazyLea]

I disagree blackkat I think that Grant and Jane do have chemistry. And i'm actually enjoying the storyline between them.
Also I think that Grant is good at the moment.

Not liking the whole Mo and Oliver romance thing. I don't think there's much chemistry between them two that much.

[Cornishbabe]

I disagree blackkat I think that Grant and Jane to have chemistry. And i'm actually enjoying the storyline between them.
Also I think that Grant is good at the moment.

I also agree. The whole jane grant romance is really realistic and I can see why she would go for him. Im enjoying the storyline. Its much better than plenty of others running.

[stacyefc]

i thinks its good. ian does my head in and he must do janes in. i do feel abit sorry for him though cos no one ever stays faithful to him.

i'm made up phil give ben advice to stand up for himself and it worked. i really hope that ben will move in with phil

[tammyy2j]

So Grant and Jane finally get it on. Phil and Ben scenes were good. So Carly and Dawn are friends now which i don't really care cause both are awful characters. Little Mo and the Doctor are a terrible couple she was ever only suited to Billy.

[dddMac1]

good episode last night.really enjoying the Jane and Grant storyline.Glad Phil gave Ben Advise Ian should stop been so Pathetic

[Johnny Allen]

who would have thought Phil could give great advice. My goodness me does Kevin crack me up even when he's upset and angry it's just his facial expressions.

[Johnny Allen]

Ruby's 18 this year. I'm not sure what month.

I can understand Jake's concern, but it's not like she's the only 17 year old ever to have a drink. If they disguised it and kept it to a minimum, I think it should have been o.k.

When you go into a club in real-life most of them in there are under 18. In fact very few are over. It's usually for the young.

But I suppose rules are rules!

but still the law is the law regardless of whether she has one sip of alcohol or several shots of vodka. Although the law is a funny old thing me and my mates use to get served in clubs when we weren't 18, but I guess Jake has to stand by the law and Ruby was acting like a spoilt brat.

[Layne]

Last nights eppi, i don't know, it was alright, but that all EE ever seems to be now alright!
I don't know if i like Jane and Grants relationship or whatever it is, its like Jane is just using Grant because Ian can't deliver :rolleyes: and plus i can't really feel the chemistry,
Joe/bert/Pauline is just boring me now, bert is sooo annoying!
I like how carly and dawn are friends now. And bless how cute was Ben when he was telling ian about him pushing some kid :lol:
So yeh alright eppi!

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Bless Ben standing up to the bullies, bit unrealistic but still bless i mean in real life a child like Ben would not stand up to bullies after one talk to someone like Phil i just dont see it.

Bert/Joe/Pauline/Dot rubbish is boring there is no need for the story to run anymore Pauline should just forgive Joe and Dot and they should just send Bert away seriously what was the point to him anyway he has done nothing for the show and i cant wait until he goes.

I was not expecting Carly and Dawn to be mates like that, it was kind of sweet, weird, but sweet i hope we see more of it.

Grant and Jane are a better pairing to Ian and Jane but i dont like the storyline much.

[Florijo]

Bless Ben standing up to the bullies, bit unrealistic but still bless i mean in real life a child like Ben would not stand up to bullies after one talk to someone like Phil i just dont see it.

I agree with this. I guess it was all about Ben and Phil bonding etc but Ben is just not the type to stand up to bullies, not straight away anyway.


Bert/Joe/Pauline/Dot rubbish is boring there is no need for the story to run anymore Pauline should just forgive Joe and Dot and they should just send Bert away seriously what was the point to him anyway he has done nothing for the show and i cant wait until he goes.

Agree with this also. There is no need to keep going on about it now and Personally I don't care. Bert is just a pain and the whole storyline has made me sick of Dot as well, which is not good as she is one of the only characters that I actually like.

[Chris_2k11]

A bad episode apart from Kacey's brill acting at the end there.

[Florijo]

Kevin and Bert. :rolleyes: Look, Bert is from the north and he hates London, we get it EE writers!! :rolleyes:

The bit at the end with Little Mo was the only decent part of that episode.

[BlackKat]

Deano and Kevin annoyed the hell out me:

1) Phil Daniels cannot act. He can get by with the cockney wideboy, but anything emotional is just embarrassing to watch. That fight with Bert was cringeworthy. Matt Di Whatshisface isn't much better.

2) I understand that losing someone is a terrible thing to happen, and even years later it will still hurt. However, there is no excuse to knowingly and willingly put other people in danger. Deano knew what he was going to do, it wasn't a split second of madness caused by grief, he planned it. He could have killed someone, he knew that, and if that would have made his brother laugh then quite frankly I'm glad we never saw Jimbo. :mad:

Carly however has grown on me considerably this week.

Little Mo and Oliver are cute, however Jane and Grant are not. I still don't see any chemistry between them whatsoever.

[littlemo]

I love Grant's wind ups! That scene in the cafe was hilarious. I don't feel sorry for Ian really, I might when it all comes out but at the moment, if all he's concerned about is some haddock, he deserves everything he gets. There's more to life than fish and chips Ian! lol.

Another comic moment in tonight's ee was seeing that Dr Oliver writes his name in his socks. That was funny. Individual socks, I mean come on! Him and Little Mo are really great together.

A mention of Stacey's mum tonight, like we had a mention of Bradley's dad last week, no spoilers allowed, I know.

Not much else to say really. Apart from I hope Freddie gets better, and I think it's going to be a good storyline.

[dddMac1]

last nights episode was ok.don't feel sorry for Ian one Bit he deserves all he gets.

[Siobhan]

Last night episode was every parents nightmare.. I hope freddie is ok, poor Little mo

[littlemo]

That episode was really good. I loved the stuff with Little Mo. I'm glad they included Billy in it. I was worried they were going to completely ignore him, as being part of the storyline. Him and Little Mo have managed to regain their friendship, and he still has feelings for Freddie, that's nice.

You could see that Oliver was put in a difficult position, between his loyalties towards Little Mo and his loyalties towards Freddie. Despite him being honest, he was very adamant that Little Mo was a good mum, and couldn't hurt Freddie. He seems to care about her a lot. I liked seeing more of Oliver. He's a good character.

That scene in the cellar was funny. When Grant said he had asked Jane to help him with the crates, because she seemed really muscular lol.

[leanne27]

agree with everything you said :D in my opinion oliver id the right thing and im glad they never forgot about billy too even though he's with honey now he was still freddie's dad for a time

[x Amby x]

i thought it was a good episode tonight, Courtney was quite amusing at Ben's party with all her side comments! lol The Deano bit was quite good too! Bless him when he was crying! I liked the cellar scene too! I agree with Littlemo and leanne27 with the bit about Little Mo, Oliver and Billy!

[shannisrules]

The Deano bit was quite good too! Bless him when he was crying!

i thought that was a bit unrealistic not the storyline but the guy who plays him i just burst out laughing when he started crying it looked like he was trying really hard to get tears coming out of his eyes or something

[DaVeyWaVey]

Very good episode tonight, filled with lots of high drama. Kacey Ainsworth is a very good actress and she can perform dramatic situations very well, i hope Freddie is ok and Little Mo is not accused of hurting Freddie. Like Siobhan said, it's every parent's worst nightmare.
The Grant/Jane stuff was good, and we saw some good serious scenes with Deano tonight as well which made a change :)
And i feel sorry for Phil as he was trying his best to make an effort to make Ben happy but it still must be hard for him to settle in and get over his mum and Gavin's deaths.
Overall 9/10 :)

[di marco]

i thought that was a bit unrealistic not the storyline but the guy who plays him i just burst out laughing when he started crying it looked like he was trying really hard to get tears coming out of his eyes or something

i agree, me and my sis just laughed, his acting in that scene was awful!

[crazygirl]

when ian walked in the celler you could tell that grant and jane were up to no good im sorry but that bit was very unrealistic!

[Dutchgirl]

Had to watch the omnibus, so I'm a bit late with commnets for last week. Deano was great at the last bit of his scene's. Poot Little Mo! Oh and go for it Jane, Ian is such a grey mouse!

[littlemo]

Had to watch the omnibus, so I'm a bit late with commnets for last week. Deano was great at the last bit of his scene's. Poot Little Mo! Oh and go for it Jane, Ian is such a grey mouse!

Yeah Deano was quite good. We are being shown a different side to him of late. We've always known he wasn't as cocky as he made out. It's nice to see him show a bit of emotion.

'A grey mouse?!' is that a saying from where you're from. Never heard of it before.

[Dutchgirl]

'A grey mouse?!' is that a saying from where you're from. Never heard of it before.
Oh yeah sorry, it means he is so dull! He blends in with the background. Forget sometimes that Dutch sayings are not the same in English! Forgive me.

[littlemo]

Oh yeah sorry, it means he is so dull! He blends in with the background. Forget sometimes that Dutch sayings are not the same in English! Forgive me.

Thats o.k. :)

Thanks for clearing that up. He definetely is a 'grey mouse'! lol.

[Richie_lecturer]

If he's a grey mouse, he'd better steer clear of Dutchgirl's cat. :eek:

[Dutchgirl]

If he's a grey mouse, he'd better steer clear of Dutchgirl's cat. :eek:
Miaow, he likes his mice more colourfull! hahaha

[lollymay]

i thought ian would have cottoned on to jane and grant in the cellar. how thick can you get.

[di marco]

i thought ian would have cottoned on to jane and grant in the cellar. how thick can you get.

yeh i know, thats what i thought, it was so obvious!

[DaVeyWaVey]

i thought ian would have cottoned on to jane and grant in the cellar. how thick can you get.

Yeah i thought that as well. It seemed pretty obvious what Jane and Grant were up to.

[the_watts_rule]

i thought ian would have cottoned on to jane and grant in the cellar. how thick can you get.

Yeah, I thought he would have guessed. They were standing in a corner and standing together. I don't think Ian was paying attention.

[JustJodi]

I think if I had caught my guy in the cellar with the guilty looks on their faces, :nono: I would have sussed them out really quick, but Ian is so UP his you know what, he can't see what is going on .. When it FINALLY dawns on him he is going to have a hissy fit. Honestly I think Ian is getting every thing he deserves after the way he has treated Jane ..he was using her as a MOM for his kids, a baby sitter, bottle washer, chippie helper, cafe worker he forgot her as a woman,, tuff noogies as far as I am concerned hes getting what he deserves!!!!!!!!!:banned:

[Dutchgirl]

Yeah i thought that as well. It seemed pretty obvious what Jane and Grant were up to.
Well he is so preocupied with Ben and Phil , maybe he is blind to anything else. He used to be paranoia about woman and infidelity. He thinks he is the center of the world, and that Jane is merely someone he can use in his bussinesses and his fight against the Mitchells, whoaa when he finds out, he can be so nasty!

[*-Rooney-*]

how good was the episode when it was deano's brothers anniversary of his death.
kevin was getting drunk and fighting in the vic but when deano started driving with his eyes shut and stole the queen vic statue that was funny.

i hope little freddie will be okay

[Dutchgirl]

It was foolish of Deano to do that, he was putting to many people at risk. I felt empathy when he was alone in the kitchen though. Carly also gave a good performance when she talked to Pat about her feelings, good acting on her part.

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah this storyline has given carly a chance to show her character, i also liked it when everyone thought it was hilarious the thought of her getting dressed up and going out because she is a female mechanic but she proved them all wrong

[Chris_2k11]

hahaha what the well happened just then with the credits?! :lol:

[Bryan]

hahaha what the well happened just then with the credits?! :lol:

shows how eventiful an episode is if were commenting on a bbc technical mistake! :rotfl:

[Chris_2k11]

haha the credits again! :rotfl: What's going on!?

[shannisrules]

haha the credits again! What's going on!?

bbc technical probelms i wonder if it'll happen again

[Jada-GDR]

haha the credits again! :rotfl: What's going on!?it wasnt just mine then?! :rotfl:

[Chris_2k11]

bbc technical probelms i wonder if it'll happen againI hope so. It's more entertaining than the bloody episode itself! :rotfl:

[shannisrules]

I hope so. It's more entertaining than the bloody episode itself!


i take it your not liking eastenders at the moment lol

[Chris_2k11]

i take it your not liking eastenders at the moment lollol, not really.. I prefer Corrie & Hollyoaks at the moment.

"We're sorry for the techinal problems into tonight's episode, we hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment too much." haha what enjoyment?! :rotfl:

[BlackKat]

Maybe the BBC techs just wanted the episode over and done with? I certainly did.

This Rebecca storyline has been running, in one form or another, for over a year. Yes, really. And it wasn't that interesting to start with. Sonia and Naomi need to go away. Why is it every somewhat interesting storyline gets rushed through within about a week, yet storylines like this and that dire Wellard one are dragged out to the bitter end. It feels like we've had nothing but Naomi/Sonia/Martin for months, because every week they're in it, they have to be the main storyline. Everytime it looks like it's over, they bring out yet another drama to carry it on some more. Why can't they just let it go? Have Sonia/Naomi together, hopefully somewhere off-screen, have Martin hook up with someone else and just shut up about the entire thing. And now matter how cute Rebecca is, I'd be quite happy never setting eyes on her again because I've had quite enough of this storyline thanks.

You are definitely watching a different show to me because Sonia and Naomi haven't been on my screen for at least 3 weeks and I would never call it the main storyline because the only people EE are interested in at the moment are the Mitchells and Lil Mo - and that's only because she is going.

Marriage breakdowns don't happen overnight and the fallout isn't finished with in weeks either. Feelings of bitterness and wondering what has gone wrong last a long time. But don't worry, Martin asks for a divorce and moves onto Carly very shortly.

The Lil Mo storyline isn't very easy to watch but Kacey is excellent as the worried mother. Nice to see Mo turning to Billy for comfort - a bit of continuity. Gary and Minty are far too old to be behaving the way they do and bore me rigid as do the Bert/Joe characters.

Nice scene with Dot and Sonia but the Jane/Grant scenes were a bit cringeworthy. Not the best episode, but okay.

[crazygirl]

i quite enjoyed tonight's episode apart from the bbc technical problems! i was expecting Pauline to walk in when Margaret & Sonia were chatting over a cup of tea

[CrazyLea]

I missed the techincal problems.. what happened :searchme: lol

[DaVeyWaVey]

Tonight's episode was ok apart from the technical problems which was really weird and getting on my nerves, i think things are moving slowly at the moment especially the Rebecca storyline where Margaret just pops up randomly with Rebecca or to talk about Rebecca. I must admit it's boring me a bit now and the whole Martin/Naomi/Sonia story is boring me too.
Nice to see Ben and Phil bonding with each other. I think Phil could be making a breakthrough now especially when Ben asked if he could stay at the Vic for a bit longer. :)
The Grant/Jane story is still going good, i thought Ian would have sussed something out by now though :confused:
I enjoyed the Little Mo/Freddie stuff tonight, very dramatic and great acting from Kacey Ainsworth :)
Overall 7/10 :)

[chance]

The best part off ee tonight was the technical problems,gave me a right laugh. :)

[Chris_2k11]

The best part off ee tonight was the technical problems,gave me a right laugh. :)haha same here chance! :D

[littlemo]

I found the episode a bit boring to say the least. I'm quite liking the Little Mo storyline, but not much happened tonight. Nice to see Billy being in the picture still. I don't know why the doctors keep calling Mo Mrs Mitchell all the time. She's divorced, isn't she going to go back to her maiden name now?!

I hated how the social worker seemed to jump to the conclusion it was down to Little Mo. She's trying to show that she's seeing it from all angles. But it seemed like she was trying to manipulate her into saying she hurt Freddie. It was annoying me.

Poor Martin! It did seem like Sonia was trying to see it from his angle tonight. Which is surprising for her. And helped him home which was nice. I just find it terribly sad they couldn't work it out. Those two and Rebecca would make a nice family.

[Johnny Allen]

when the end credits came up during the episode, that was funny, and they kept showing New Tricks-which is always an excellent programme, it was very amusing.

[Richie_lecturer]

Looks like I missed the first good episode in yonks. :p

[Siobhan]

I don't know why the doctors keep calling Mo Mrs Mitchell all the time. She's divorced, isn't she going to go back to her maiden name now?!


I don't think she has too.. after all it is Freddie Mitchell so maybe she will keep mitchell name so she has same last name as baby

[Jojo]

I don't know why the doctors keep calling Mo Mrs Mitchell all the time. She's divorced, isn't she going to go back to her maiden name now?!
A lot of people dont revert back to their maiden names - my parents have been divorced for a long time (nearly 10 years) but my mum still uses her married name. Plus like Siobhan said, as Freddie's surname is Mitchell, she is probably wanting to keep some continuity in his life, maybe...

[dddMac1]

Eastenders was ok last night.glad phil is making progress with Ben

was not Amused with the Technical fault

[Chris_2k11]

Goldfrapp on in Ian's Kitchen! :cheer:

[shannisrules]

i can understand how mo was so agitated about getting the truth from ben but did she really have to grab him? shes not making things better for herslef i found the whole martin/sonia stuff a bit boring the honey and billy stuff was good a bit of a break from all the action in the square

[BlackKat]

Can they interview kids without an adult present? I'm sure you have to have either a parent or guardian with you. And why does the police woman keep trying to push Little Mo into saying something incriminating -- mentioning Trevor, the rape, saying things like "You must get frustrated though." Hardly impartial questioning, is it. They did the same thing with Bradley was accused of drugging Stacey - talked over him and twisted everything he said. :rolleyes: The police are either portrayed as useless or completely vindictive.

[Chris_2k11]

I actually didn't mind tonight's episode.

[x Amby x]

i thought this episode was ok, bless little Ben when he had his interview with the police! awwwww I thought it was a bit wrong of Little Mo to shake Ben like that because it could reflect badly on her as Phil and Oliver now know what shes like. Love Honey and Billy they're well sweet! lol

[no1abbafan]

The sooner Little Mo leaves the better, she is really annoying me, "Why can't I see my baby lark" - they were trying to save his life woman. Hope Martin doesn't agree to Sonia's idea, she is the most selfish person ever, trying emotional blackmail to get what she wants - the whole dinner scene with Grant and Jane, a bit silly really - like you would to a restaurant near where you live if you were playing away from home.

I know! I said to my mum she's more like a tabloid journalist! A friendly chat, just a precaution. How did that suddenly become an interrogation. I really feel sorry for her. She didn't deserve that!

[Richie_lecturer]

I didn't see the episode (I don't watch the show anymore), but that sounds like another howler from EE. Dear oh dear. :thumbsdow

[crazygirl]

i take it that was chelsea in the video shop?

[chance]

I was surprised phil didnt grab phyco bitch mo off of ben at the end,i know if she touched my child like that id of knocked the cow out cold.

[shannisrules]

I was surprised phil didnt grab phyco bitch mo off of ben at the end,i know if she touched my child like that id of knocked the cow out cold.

ye i know but they were trying to show phil in a fatherly light , i dont think they wanted him to become agressive otherwise we'd be back to sqare one with ben and phil

It was nice seeing Phil in a different light for a change, instead of being such an aggressive hard guy he normally comes across.. I am like the others being a momma, I would have knocked lil Mo on her butt for shaking my child like that.

One thing I do see is Jane for whatever reason she will keep going to Grant when things go bad with her and Ian..Wonder how long it will be now before Ian finds out ??

Sonia :angry: :angry: do not get me started on this selfish cow !!!!

Billy and Honey....... sweeeeeeet... "HOPE SPRINGS INFERNAL ":rotfl: ( gotta love our Honey lol ) Wonder when her daddy will be back ??? Wanna see how Peggys boys take to him ( he wasn't around when they came back was he ?? )

[tammyy2j]

Can't wait for Little Mo to go she is becoming so annoying. Sonia is a selfish cow i hope she doesn't get Chloe/Rebecca back.

my nephew went 2 years just shouting at everyone, he never just talked

Kill him Mo!

Anyone else wishing Martin, Sonia, Naomi and Rebecca would just emigrate and get the hell out of our screens???

Urgh! at Sonia tonight. "If Rebecca came to live with me I'd be the best mother ever, I'd love her and blah blah blah......Oh, and she could see Martin too."

And the way she tried to manipulate Margaret into still letting her see Rebecca. "I wouldn't want to disappoint her." Evil little...

Noticed the subtle differences in what Martin and Sonia said to Margaret remembering Sue (Becky's mum) wanted Rebecca to be loved. Martin: "I do too." Sonia: "That's what she'll get if she comes to live with us."

With Sonia it's all about her. She wants Rebecca, so everyone has to play along. Was she planning to drop all three bombshells on Becky at once. "Oh, by the way, me and Martin are your real parents. But we're not really still married...Oh, and you know my friend Naomi. Well..." :mad:

[sarah21]

Sonia has always wanted Rebecca, she regreted having her adopted almost immeadiately and that lead to her kidnapping the child. Sonia is the one who gave birth to her and has had to live with the hurt and guilt when Martin never gave a damn. Martin didn't want to know about the child until recently. Martin did what he did tonight for two reasons. Firstly, his mummy and Gus told him not to lie and the other was to get back at Sonia for not coming back to him. Martin worried about lying? The bloke who blackmailed Kareena, grew pot and got Derek to take the blame for him so he wouldn't go back to prison after killing Jamie and being out on parole. If Sonia hadn't forgiven him for killing Jamie the square would never have accepted him back. She also stopped him from getting himself into deeper trouble when everyone else had deserted him. I hope this all rebounds on him but in true EE style, Sonia has to suffer for leaving her husband and going to a woman.

Good job I'm not Sonia. I would tell Margaret all about Martin.

[littlemo]

I know Sonia is selfish! Gus hit the nail right on the head! And I didn't realise he felt that way. He's hidden it well.

I feel really sorry for Martin. I don't know why Sonia married him. She said she was young when it happened, but it was only 2 years ago? I really felt that they had grown up through that time, from Sonia having Rebecca to when Martin and Sonia got married. They matured dramatically. For her to suddenly turn round now and say, I didn't know what I was doing, and she's said on more than one occasion that she hates Martin. He is so in love with her, and I find it really upsetting.

She said when he proposed that no matter what she was doing in the future, she'd always want to be with him. They seemed so commited to each other. She's so oblivious to anyone else's feelings. She was saying tonight to Naomi, he's fine with the Rebecca situation, we're moving on, he knows we're never getting back together. She's too self involved.

Some interesting points. Martin has made some mistakes in his life, but Sonia isn't excused from behaving badly because she just happens to have experienced a lot of traumas.

Martin did give a damn about Rebecca. But he was just a kid, and the same as Sonia couldn't cope with looking after her, he couldn't either. Sonia never told Martin the truth about him being Rebecca's dad, he had to hear it from Jamie, 2 months after Rebecca had been born. By the time he found out the truth Sonia had given her away. He would have stood by her if Sonia had wanted to keep her. Or at least the family would have, but it was Sonia's choice. And she has blamed other people for it, which is wrong.

As for Jamie, it was tragic, but it's not like Martin doesn't regret it.

Martin wanted nothing to do with the Baby.. Pauline had to fight sonia on her own.. Martin didn't give a damn at the time. he only became interested when he went to see her after her adoptive parents died.. Sonia was only 15 and felt she was doing the best. She has regretted it everyday since.

Martin wasn't out of order for telling the truth but so what? People split the whole time and yet a child can grow up knowing both Parents and been happy and healthy.. Sonia did decieve her and yes she has the right to be upset but Rebecca was happy and she loves been with both of them so what is the problem.. At 18 she is going to find out that they are her parents and how is she going to feel about her grandmother who stopped her been with them because they split up!!!!

It doesn't excuse Sonia one bit, but what I'm saying is Martin isn't this wonderful, perfect boy that everyone is trying to make out. He has made mistakes in his life, as Sonia is now but at least he has always had his mother for support.

Martin didn't want Chloe then. He told his mother straight he didn't when she was going for custody of the child before it was adopted. He stopped her. And Martin knew Chloe was his. He only had to work out the dates, its simply that he wouldn't admit it, even to himself.

Martin might regret Jamie, as I'm sure that Sonia will regret how she is behaving now, but he still killed him by his reckless driving. He still drove while he was banned and he used his mobile. You can hardly compare killing someone to leaving a marriage.

There is still the blackmailing Kareena and the letting Derek have a criminal record to cover up his pot growing that Martin has been responsible for. I still can't compare how badly Martin has behaved in the past with Sonia's behaviour now. Yes, she is behaving badly and totally out of character, but after the last 6 years that she has been through from when Carol left her with Robbie and her granddad to look after at 14, she was bound to have some form of crisis and this is it.

:clap::clap::clap: very very well said.. I don't excuse her either but she finally found something/one to make her happy. she deserves it after everything she has been through

Sadly though, I don't think she has.

Sonia went through so much and kept herself level headed and kind, even rescuing Martin when he had pressed the self destruct button. When she married Martin and Rebecca was back in her life and everything should have been wonderful that is when she seems to have pressed her own self destruct button. I can't help but think this is a reaction to her past. Sonia believes she loses everyone she loves. Is it possible she has pushed Martin away believing deep down that he would leave her anyway?

I don't know how this is going to go, but I do know that Sonia is going to regret all this and very soon.

[dddMac1]

last night was ok.sonia deserved that all she thinks about is herself.I'm liking the new Caring Phil and Ben seems to be finally accepting him as his dad

[BlackKat]

Aw, it's okay Sonia. I don't like who you are either. :) There, there. Or whatever. Really don't care.

Martin and Carly are cute. They will obviously get together, after many, many setbacks, and then promptly disappear off-screen, much like Stacey and Bradley. ;)

I'd care more about Doctor Ollie's betrayal of Little Mo if they'd known each other for more than 0.2 seconds.

Oh, and Chelsea needs to speak faster. I don't want to be continuously waiting for her to get the second syllable out of her mouth.

[littlemo]

Good episode! I'm glad Sonia is finally feeling sorry for Martin, and realising how much he cares about her. That book thing was really sweet. And even Naomi could see how much work he had put into it.

It's clear Grant cares more for Jane than he's letting on. Nice introduction to Chelsea. Oh and Stacey was great tonight. She's good in a crisis. I loved that line where Little Mo asked 'how old the head on her shoulders was'. She was great!

I like Carly and Martin together too. A sweet moment between them at the end.

Just to clear something up that was mentioned before, about Martin not caring about his daughter. Martin could have figured out the dates of Chloe's conception, and I think your right that he accepted him not being the father without much persuasion, but in the end it was the way Sonia wanted it. She didn't want Martin involved!

I don't think you can say he didn't give a damn about his daughter. It was hard for both of them.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Good episode tonight. Martin and Carly are really great together i think, and they suit each other really well. Hopefully their friendship will turn into a relationship :)
Felt sorry for Sonia tonight, i thought i would never say it but i actually did probably because of the great acting Natalie Cassidy did in tonight's episode really made me feel sorry for her character. I just hope she sorts things out with Margaret soon so both her and Martin can see Rebecca properly.
I am glad Dr. Oliver was honest with Little Mo when she questioned him about talking to the doctor, atleast he didn't lie but to be honest, the truth was written all over his face, i just feel so sorry for Little Mo, Dr. Oliver was only sharing his concerns about Little Mo to the other doctor, i just hope both of them can patch things up soon :)
Chelsea seems an ok addition but i can't really judge her at the moment, she hasn't had enough screen time :)
Overall 8/10 :)

I only caught the last five minutes (I don't watch anymore) and was just waiting for Frost to come on ITV. I noticed Jim (John Bardon) could barely open his right eye. How long has that been the case? Was it part of a storyline, e.g. accidentally walks into a door, or was it an off screen accident? :confused:

[shannisrules]

i reckon we'll see a lot of them in june what with the wedding and demi and rosie leaving wonder if any of them have changed they've not been on our screens in ages!

[shannisrules]

awww i loved the scenes between phil and ben they're great to watch! chelsea seems ok not enough scenes to judge her by though

[littlemo]

I liked that episode. I think Grant is behaving like an immature kid though!

Sonia really does have some nerve. I know she loves her daughter. But why shouldn't Martin be the one who has custody of Rebecca? Why does it always have to be the mother who has it. And I am a woman by the way. Why does she assume she'd be the better choice?

That being said I am pretty annoyed at Pauline for keeping her at the house. Was that a plan they cooked up together?! It seemed pretty mean!

I thought there were some sweet moments with Honey and Billy tonight. I am finally starting to see them as a serious couple. I found it hard to deal with when he got over Little Mo so quickly, and started seeing her. But yeah, I do see some connection between them.

Ben and Phil, nice! And Ian actually smiled at them.

Oh and is Lucy Cindy's daughter, or is she Cindy's daughter?! lol. I loved the way she reacted, when Ian said she wasn't a good bowler to start with. She's really starting to get a personality!

[x Amby x]

Oh my god! It was well sweet when Ben called Phil dad! Aww the look on Phils face it just lit up! I love Ben, he's so cute! lol I thought it was quite a good episode, Although im a bit puzzled about the scene between Grant and Jane in the cafe, surely everyone would have seen it and they were talking quite loud! lol! Honey cracks me up as usual! lol Also i loved the scene between Phil and Ian at the bowling!

[Kim]

Loved the bits between Chelsea and Grant and Ian and Phil, especially between Phil and Ben, so sweet.

[Johnny Allen]

the Phil and Ben scenes were really sweet, Steve McFadden proved what natural comic timing he has with that bowling ball scene. Also good to see the usual Grant intimidation act coming out, although I like it when he's being nice to Jane as well, I thought it was a very good episode, could have done without the Sonia and Naomi stuff but apart from that very good.

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Ben has been in it alot recently which im really pleased about and lastnight it was fab to hear Ben call Phil dad that was very sweet and im glad Phil sorted himself out and went bowling it was a fab chance to bond with Ben and boy did it work well im glad they are doing stuff together and its even better that Ben is living with Phil glad Ian went along with that :) fab episode lastnight will deffinatly tape it sunday.

[dddMac1]

didn't watch Eastenders last night cause i was at a meeting but i saw a preview of it i'm glad Ben has finally called Phil Dad

[Jojo]

I watched for the first time in ages - great that ben called phil dad, but dire overall! :(

[Dutchgirl]

:thumbsdow Sonia really annoys me! Please shut up! She used to be very good, they totally ruined her character!

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Haven't said anything here in ages!!

I liked how Martin got Rebecca and is going to attempt to keeping her away from Sonia. Makes it slightly ammusing I guess :p Liked to see Ben calling Phil, dad.. came out of no where as a shock!!

When Phil threw that bowling ball somewherw I thought Ben would get upset but he liked that hard stuff lol.

Yep it was alright :thumbsup:

[shannisrules]

why the hell did bert just bite an apple and put it back? what was the point is he just trying to wind up pauline by doing it or something

[shannisrules]

yay has she gone?? is that the end of noami please say it is there was too much sonia stuff in that epsidoe

[littlemo]

there was too much sonia stuff in that epsidode

I'll agree with that! But I thought the episode overall was alright. A bit boring, but o.k in places.

A nice introduction to Denise.

I wish Jane would make up her mind. She's jealous of Chelsea, she does all that work, and when Grant finally makes another declaration about how he feels about her. She tells him she's off limits. She just needs to make a decision.

Nice that Little Mo and Oliver made up. Funny quote when Big Mo said she'd punch his lights out! lol.

[Richie_lecturer]

yay has she gone?? is that the end of noami please say it is there was too much sonia stuff in that epsidoe
Naomi's not going anywhere for a while, I can tell you that much. :wall:

[BlackKat]

So, we're supposed to sympathise with Jane acting like a jealous harpy because the guy she cheated on Ian with...is now seeing someone else. Sorry, but no.

First reaction to Denise? Meh. Chelsea still needs to speak quicker.

And Charlie is angry because Oliver didn't instantly know Little Mo wouldn't hurt her kid after going out with her for all of two minutes. :rolleyes: Shut up Charlie.

And how long did it take Charlie, Mo and Stacey to rehearse their little "We're the Slater family," speech, all spoken practically in unison.

Why are Sonia, Martin and Pauline acting like they have any right to Rebecca. News flash -- Margaret is Becky's legal guardian. She is perfectly within her rights to decide if and when they see her. Just like, if Martin is made Becky's guardian, he is perfectly within his rights to stop Sonia seeing her. (And yes, vice versa).

Oh, and Naomi's solution to the problems with Sonia. "I'll just have to ignore it." Yes, that will solve everything. :rolleyes:

And what the hell was with Psycho Joe?!? :eek:

[shannisrules]

oh yeh i thought that too he was all nice then suddenly just snapped on bert and became really agressive?

[Richie_lecturer]

How did Diane Parish do for her first episode? I don't watch the show anymore so didn't see her in action.

I rate her very highly from her other work. I expect she outacted pretty much all the cast. :rolleyes:

She was okay. Didn't do a lot really - came in, shouted at Kevin (thinking he was the guy Chelsea was seeing) and then disappeared. Like I said, acting wise okay, but I guess it wasn't a scene she could do much with (in terms of emotion etc). Nothing really grabbed me about the character, just seemed like another gobby female to me. I suppose we'll see when she has more scenes though. :)

An average episode tonight, i found that the best thing about the episode was Denise's first appearance. It was excellent and i think i will like her character, i really think Diane Parish is a good actress too so i am expecting highly from her.

I found the Naomi/Sonia story with Rebecca boring and Joe and Bert are starting to really annoy me:angry:

the martin/sonia/rebecca story is annoying me at the moment as martin and Sonia (especiallY) dont really seem to care about Margret. They want her to make them legal quardians when she dies but dont seem atall bothetred that they are talking about her death like its no big deal!

She made quite an entrance which was good, I expect Diane Parish to bring quite a bit to the soap she's a top actress. Joe going psycho on Bert was a bit suprising but than it's good to see he has another side to him, and he isn't a full push over when it comes to Bert like I thought he was.

[Siobhan]

I could understand where Sonia was coming from last night. you do think what if when it comes to kids.. This is her baby she is losing all over again because she did something that she wanted to.. the girl does one selfish thing in her life and she gets punished!!! Naomi should understand that if you take on someone with Kids, the kids always come first and I don't think she gets that. She was happy when it was just her and Sonia, she doesn't want to play families...

Diane Parish entrance was fantastic and Grant doing a runner Brill!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

[dddMac1]

last night was ok.Can't stand Bert.i feel sorry for Sonia she does not know what she wants but the script writers have really ruined her character

[littlemo]

Yeah I agree that Naomi doesn't understand Sonia's predicament. But I suppose it would be like that with any partner who takes up with somebody who has children, and doesn't have any of their own.

I didn't like what she said a while ago, asking her who she would choose if it came to a choice between her and Rebecca. When Sonia seemed to give the obvious answer, her daughter. She went mad. Of course she would choose her!

[x Amby x]

i thought it was quite a good episoe, the scenes with Martin, SOnia and Rebecca were quite cute- loved the look on Sonias face when Martin said he wanted a divorce! lol I quite like the relationship between Kevin and Denise, also im quite liking Chelsea as well!

[littlemo]

i thought it was quite a good episoe, the scenes with Martin, SOnia and Rebecca were quite cute- loved the look on Sonias face when Martin said he wanted a divorce!

Yeah I thought it was good. Sonia should really make up her mind what she wants. How many times has he asked her if there's any chance they can get back together?! And every time she's replied 'no', and that she doesn't love him, or in one instance that she hated him. I'm glad Martin is making a clean break.

Part of me would like to see them be a happy family, but I don't think she should do it just because she wants to be with Rebecca. She's made it obvious she doesn't love him. Neither of them should settle for second best.

I agree Littlemo, but I still think Sonia is responding to the problems she has had over the last 6 years. Since Carol left them, her life has had so many problems and she hasn't dealt with them properly. She has never sorted out the Chloe/Jamie situations with Martin. They have never discussed what's happened, mainly because Sonia won't talk about it, it's done and it hurts so what is the point is her attitude. I don't think she is doing this just because she wants to be with Rebecca. It was irrational the way she dismissed Naomi tonight. She has behaved so out of character lately and I think she is finally starting to crack up.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Really liked last night's episode, the Sonia/Martin/Rebecca stuff was so sweet, it's good that they are trying to be a proper family. I just hope Pauline doesn't ruin it. :mad:
I really like Denise and Chelsea, they are fab additions, and i am glad Little Mo is in the clear. :)

First time i've watched in ages - go Martin. I think he actually showed some maturity for a change, and good on him for saying about a divorce.

Finally Martin makes a well thought decission! I did not see it coming, and neither did Sonia. Good for you Martin, and please stick to your decission!:clap:
