I've dropped a cake before, does that make me evil? :confused: :eek: Yes you are a very evil man. Just as long as it wasnt Dots cake and you didnt blame it on a poor defenceless canine:D

[crazygirl]

Richie_lecturer are you a man? well i never knew that

[JustJodi]

Betty will probably be really sick :sick: eating all that cake, not cause Dot made it ( bless her heart ) but cause her evil owner gave it to her ... Stupid woman doesn't know that all that sweet stuff in the cake can make a dog deathly ill,.stupid stupid:wall:
I agree Richie she sucked all those lemons from her fruitbowl, she is such a horrible woman.
I loved it when Martin and Sonia "saved"the day.. that part was nice...

[dddMac1]

why can't Pauline just leave Sonia alone cause it's up to Martin whether he takes her back or not but i loved paulines face when they got the original cake over for Rebekah

[Mr Humphries]

What a fabulous Episode tonight, and if anyone dares to say other otherwise they will have very cross gay man to deal with!!

It was like the old Eastenders we new, Pat & Ruby where great and I loved the whole talking about the past. Ruby might have worked out Sean final, Dot was great with her comments, and you can expect nothing more from the vile monster that is Peggy Mitchell!

Johnny Allen may have been a vilen and but he was not completely bad, nobody is perfect, kill dennis was a low point, but killing Andy had to be done.

Full marks allround, although Martin's acting was a little over the top.

But tops marks have to go to Yolande. She was totally fabulous and she was looked like she meant what she was saying! Really Really Good !! Top Marks

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

[Chris_2k11]

It was a fairly decent episode tonight. Yolande was brilliant shouting at Aubrey!

All the recent Thursday episodes seem to have been quite good for some reason.

[crazygirl]

did anyone notice johnny allen in the back ground? because i didnt!!
tonights episode was boring!!

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Loooool did anyone notice how SLOWW Martin walked out of the kitchen before Sonia and him sat down.. :lol: Same old same old.. getting so boring.. I can't wait till it's over and done with.. *crosses off another day on her calender..*

Dot cracks me up :lol: The way she has her wise old words and comes in... and fades away like.. like a consience(sp?) :rotfl:

Woooh Yolande shouting was like :eek: I thought it was sorted but oh no.. it's sort of 'just the beggining'..

Ruby realises!? :eek: OMG!! Breakthrough :rolleyes:.. About time too.. Sean's face at the end.. bad.

[callummc]

only one complaint,where were all the mourners,big east end gangsters funeral = big eastend funeral,even a nobody would get a bigger turnout than that,same with andy hunter he packed his side of the church for his wedding but no one attended his funeral,they didn't even lash out for any flowers for johnny just a dad in the hurst,could it be ee ddn't want to pay any extras,even if it would add a touch of realism to their show

True but Gangsters would not attend a funeral if the person wasn't dead !!!

I think it was a funeral that just for show, but you know that Johnny Allen is not dead

[Siobhan]

I think it was a funeral that just for show, but you know that Johnny Allen is not dead

He is dead!!! he ain't coming back..

[Mr Humphries]

Siobhan honey, its just my opinion, but I would go so far as to bet one of my pubs they bring him back again in the future !!

[Siobhan]

Siobhan honey, its just my opinion, but I would go so far as to bet one of my pubs they bring him back again in the future !!

Where are you pubs located? cause I will take that bet :rotfl::rotfl:

[Mr Humphries]

Where are you pubs located? cause I will take that bet :rotfl::rotfl:

No problem ! 3 in kent, 2 in london !!

I have little more inside information than you honey !! :rotfl:

What are you betting ? :searchme:

[parkerman]

killing Andy had to be done.



What an appalling statement. No-one has to be killed. :nono:

Anyway, it's good to see that Sean has finally met his match in Pat. :thumbsup:

[Siobhan]

What an appalling statement. No-one has to be killed. :nono:

It amazed me how Ruby grew a spine after Pat's little chat.. I don't think it will last and Sean will be in charge again.

Mr H, I have nothing to give but would gracious accept that I was wrong...

[Mr Humphries]

Mr H, I have nothing to give but would gracious accept that I was wrong...

Honey of course it would ! Still love you honey ! :heart:

[Dutchgirl]

Well that Aubrey character and Yolande, good storyline, now Yolande cannot judge Patrick anymore. She has to be nice to him now. I bet the butler did it!!! Hahaha. Little joke couldn't resist it.

[Mr Humphries]

Very Good DG ! Her acting last night was really really good !

[crazygirl]

i find Aubrey really creepy and anoying i wish he would leave!
sorry mr h i know you think he's hot property but i just wanted my say!!

[Mr Humphries]

When did I say he was hot property he is old ! You been eating to many cornetto's again!

[JustJodi]

Last nights episode, was horrible, funeral was a joke,, where the heck was Bradley ( was he indoors suffering from a sunburn ??? LOL )
I wish Ruby had got up and locked the office door after she told Sean to leave,,I do hope she does find something on those tapes, and HEARS what Sean said to Jake while he took a bit of the money ( hazard pay )and hope it shows Sean grabbing the remainder of the money..

I hate Aubrey, hes the most appaling man they have brought on the show since that guy that took Nana for a "ride".

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo deathly sick of Sonia and Martin,, why can't they be adults they are over 21 and not 14 yr old teenagers hiding their knoodling from their parents,, making Dot keep it quiet is a bit silly...Pauline of course would have a stroke if she had found those two suckin face instead of Dot ,,,:rolleyes:

[Mr Humphries]

Maybe a current episode Mocking Discussion thread should be started!

[Chris_2k11]

I hate Aubrey, hes the most appaling man they have brought on the show since that guy that took Nana for a "ride".I think you may want to consider rephrasing that Jodi :rotfl:

[Sam-Elle]

haha! how deluded is ruby about sean...i loved the look on the slaters when she told them they were getting married.:rotfl:
sean nicking janes ring. tut tut!

[littlemo]

haha! how deluded is ruby about sean...i loved the look on the slaters when she told them they were getting married.:rotfl:
sean nicking janes ring. tut tut!

I know! You just can't believe somebody wouldn't see it could you? I really hope Stacey does call him on it.

[EE Rocks]

I thought it was a good episode!! I loved Mondays ep, but then i found Tuesday and Thursdays dire!

Loved the look on Slaters face when Ruby announced they were getting married.

I really like Yolande, she is a good character imo just very under-used until recently. That Aubrey needs a slap.:p

Glad to see Stacey even for a little bit, next week we will see more of her which is great imo.:thumbsup:

I love Big Mo, she is soo funny. Loved her tonight saying "Fat tart", who was it too though, i forgot?

The honey/Billy thing is getting a tad tiresome, but i did like the scenes tonight. I loved Billy taking the mick out of Keith, Phil, grant and Mickey!:rotfl:

Great to see Max and Tanya...such a great couple yet soo under-used. From what i saw of Preeti tonight, she is very good.

[parkerman]

haha! how deluded is ruby about sean...i loved the look on the slaters when she told them they were getting married.:rotfl:
sean nicking janes ring. tut tut!

Well, Pat's wise words didn't last long did they?

[Richie_lecturer]

What a fabulous Episode tonight, and if anyone dares to say other otherwise they will have very cross gay man to deal with!!
Give us your best shot then because I disagree entirely. :p


It was like the old Eastenders we new
IMO it was nowhere near. It was just the same old rubbish they have been churning out for the last few years. Even when I occasionally watch an episode these days, like on Thursday, it was just so so poor. The only good thing was Pat giving Sean a piece of her mind, but it was otherwise as entertaining as a knitting festival.

[Richie_lecturer]

He is dead!!! he ain't coming back..
Like that's ever stopped them before.... :rolleyes:

[Richie_lecturer]

Well that Aubrey character and Yolande, good storyline, now Yolande cannot judge Patrick anymore. She has to be nice to him now. I bet the butler did it!!! Hahaha. Little joke couldn't resist it.
When Patrick finds out you can bet he'll say: "I 'ate you butler". :p

[Dutchgirl]

When Patrick finds out you can bet he'll say: "I 'ate you butler". :p
So glad that you and Mr. Humphries got that one. Aubrey is getting on my neves now, maybe he can call Will and get on another show. I hope they do not drag it on too long.

[Kim]

Why did Honey trash the bedroom? I read that there was a kid that made a comment about Petal, which pushed her to breaking point. I didn't see any comment...

[crazygirl]

i remember hearing about the comment to like you say kim but it didnt happen!

thought tonights episode was ok! but how come they are making plans to live in jakes house when he told pat he was going for a break
no one knows he's dead yet!!

[JustJodi]

I agree I did not see any comments made about the baby.. I think they should have Honey sectioned, shes lost the plot.

Aubry don't even get me started on him, he is the sleaziest character EE has had on in a long time...Patrick had a full blown affair with FATPAT,, Aubry and Yolande didn't do any thing apparently..

Can Ruby be any dumber than she already is ?? I am glad Sean at least "put back"the ring.. I am sure he bought her that new ring with the dosh he took from the club..

Bradders and Stacey ????? whats wrong with those two, they used to be so cute together now they are at each others throats, well maybe not that, but Bradley does not smile like he used to,, ohhhhhhhh I am so disapointed that neither Stacey or Bradley came back with a tan or a sun burn at least.. guess it rained for 2 weeks while they were on Holiday:lol:
BTW I thought Bradley had a new job and was making a bit more dosh, he is making it sound like they are below the poverty level :searchme:

[crazygirl]

hi jodi, yes your right bradley did get promotion and was earing loads of cash!
so whats happened to that!!
im glad sean put the ring back too jane didnt deserve that

[LostVoodoo]

hi jodi, yes your right bradley did get promotion and was earing loads of cash!

i did think to myself, well, this is london. but then again they both have jobs, and how the hell does gus pay for his flat when all he does is sweep the streets for the council?

thought the scenes at the support group were really good. that little girl with downs who was the daughter of billy's friend was great; as i pointed out to my mum, someone should have said to honey 'look, she's got downs and she's got waaay more personality than that rebecca!'

[parkerman]

We're talking about buying or renting a flat in London here. Yes Bradley's been promoted but I should think he still hardly earns anything like the necessary amont to get a flat in London even combined with Stacey's market stall earnings.

How Gus can manage it is anybody's guess.

[JustJodi]

Mods this is a teeny bit off topic but I was just asking relevant questions to the topic of renting /buying a flat in London,,, ya know I am a dumb Yank so I gotta ask :angel:


Ok lemme ask ya this,, does the price of a flat cost less in East London ?? Since Walford is not exactly the most elegant neighborhood.But again the same applies for certain areas of Holland, if you pick Amsterdam, you can expect an incredibly compact living space for about 250,000 euros,, or any where between 1,500- 3,000 euros a month if u rent,,, it isn't unusual for it to be higher than the prices i quoted.. its all in the LOCATION .. so that is why i was wondering if the prices in London depended on the Location..

[Katy]

your right the east end has some pretty poor places. It just shows Blairs britain really, welath on one street then poor poverty down the road. It does depend on location your right.

as for the episode i liked the bit with the downs sydrome get together and Billy was playng football with that becky girl. Hes just a big kid really.

[parkerman]

Parts of East London are run-down, parts are ok. The whole area however is becoming a very "in" area to move to, partly because it is so near to the City of London which is pushing prices up. Walford, particularly Albert Square, seems a reasonable area to move to. There are some nice houses there and it is fairly quiet and near a tube station. I would imagine the price of property there would be very high and well out of the reach of someone like Bradley.

[Siobhan]

Also Jodi, it is the deposit that kills people.. last night Bradley said they were looking for 3 months.. imagine if the price was in top range (£2000) that is a lot of month to shell out up front

[crazygirl]

rent is very expensive in london isnt it where i live its around £70-£100 a month! maybe they should move up north

[parkerman]

They could move to Weatherfield...er...

[Richie_lecturer]

EE still using monopoly money then?

[parkerman]

Everyone apart from Bradley apparently. That's what comes of being the only inhabitant of Albert Square who works for a real bank I suppose.

[Richie_lecturer]

What bank does he work for?

UpWest??

[JustJodi]

Richie remember there is a black hole and theres and endless amount of dosh in it that the Mitchells and others seem to be getting at LOL

I thought the scenes with the Downs Syndrome support group was great, and yes Billy is a big kid himself, no wonder those kids loved him. Does any one want to SLAP Honey ?? She needs some serious counseling to get over this after birth blues.....or is she truly not equipped to handle the baby ???:searchme:

[JustJodi]

another place of residency is also empty, the place where CJ lived, its a tiny place, but good enuff for Bradley and Stacey to start out,, just a thought.:searchme:

[Siobhan]

Does any one want to SLAP Honey ?? She needs some serious counseling to get over this after birth blues.....or is she truly not equipped to handle the baby ???:searchme:

With Honey, the bubble burst.. she wanted this perfect life with husband and baby to match.. you saw her in the first scenes with Petal, would not let her down and when she found that Petal had DS, she just wouldn't touch her.. Where did the inital love go? you can't just switch it on and off like that.. Honey needs a wake up call but so doesn't Peggy the way she behaves too...

[*soap*star*]

Oh My God- what's it gonna take for Ruby to finally WAKE UP? shes supposedly intelligent and just when we thought she'd twigged on last week she moves in with Sean ' the sleazeball' Slater. Chuffin' genius!
The following characters need a slap btw: Ruby, Sean, Honey, Patrick and Pauline.

[parkerman]

Also Sonia, Martin, Minty, Phil, Peggy, Ian, Jane, Dawn, Keith...come to think of it why not slap all of them while we're about it?

[Dutchgirl]

My heart broke when Honey showed the adoption leaflets. You'll never know hoe one would react when you discover your child has Downs, but like the other parents said, it took some time.I felt so sorry for Billy. He will never leave Petal with other people, this must be the end of Honey and Billy.

[littlemo]

Yes, Billy is such a sweet dad. Ah I feel sorry for Honey. She was really desperate talking to the doctor last night, it must be really hard for her. :crying:

[littlemo]

Good episode tonight. The Billy and Honey situation is tragic. But surely Honey couldn't have her baby adopted without Billy's consent? they are married. I don't know why they are acting like it could happen.

I'm really hoping Patrick is Denise's dad. They would make such a nice family. Why can't Patrick open his eyes about Yolande? I don't understand why he is being so cold, Yolande loves him.

Funny scenes with Bradley and Sean tonight lol. Sean asking him if he wants chicken, him saying no, and piling it on anyway. Then there was that bit where Bradley was covering his ears when Stacey was talking about Mo and Bert lol.

Ian what are you playing at?!

[Siobhan]

I think EE did a great job here with Billy.. it will bring the fathers movement in the right direction. Instead of agreeing with the mother, he took a stance and took the baby.. Well done Billy :cheer::cheer: as a father and husband you do have rights to your child regardless of how the mother feels.. Stick to your guns and don't let her win. You love this child and you can take care of her

Ruby :angry::angry: grow up.. playing house with a loser does not make you mature.. and her face when Sean said that Bradley and stacey should move in.. priceless :rotfl::rotfl: she is behaving like she is already married :thumbsdow

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Well done to Billy for sticking by Petal, he loves that child and i think he will be a great dad, especially after seeing him with them kids at the support group, i like Honey and Billy together but i think he deffinatly did the right thing lastnight

Ruby was not happy about Shaun's idea was she :lol: as much as i dont like Shaun that was fab

Rest of the episode was boring, infact so boring i dont even remember it

[Richie_lecturer]

That might be a blessing in disguise Vix!

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

:eek: You cant be serious what was Honey thinking Billy would do his nut if she had gone through with that, if she doesnt love Petal she should have left Billy at the pub he would have been fine there with Petal

[EE Rocks]

Great episode! OMG, what was Honey thinking trying to smother Petal?:eek: Ruby/Sean stuff was good, nice to see Stacey and bradley. Ha ha mo was funny tonight, she always is imo though. Liked all the vic scenes, Ian and Jane were good tonight. I liked the Piano guy.

[sarah21]

Poor, poor Honey. She is so desperate and nobody seems to realise how bad she is. Ian is such an idiot. He uses his engagement party for his business contacts and he is setting up Jane for a very big fall. Who else would put up with him? Quite enjoyed it though.

On the other hand, when Ruby goes, could she take the awful Dawn with her??

[Johnny Allen]

Jane throwing water on Ian, good on you girl he deserved it, had to laugh though you knew it was coming yet it was still funny. Honey and Billy, very moving storyline and well acted. My only annoyance was flaming Ruby thank goodness she's going.

[EE Rocks]

I really like Dawn, she soo pretty yet so unlucky in Love. That Rob is just messing her around, she can do much better.:wub:

[crazygirl]

the picture of ian and jane behind the bar! ian with the smiley face and jane with a miserable run down face that made me howl :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[jane tennison]

I have to say,am loving the friendship developing between Jane and Tanya.Great to have proper adult mates.Lets hope it becomes something we see more of.Would love to see these two woman in the Vic talking about life,love and men.

[JustJodi]

Last nights episode was good..not great but good..Sean needs some one to come along and kick him in the pants !!! He is such a jerk !!!
I really can not wait to see Jean back on our screen again.. I have a feeling if she sees Sean there is bound to have alot of tension,,

Ian is up to something and I am sure that when Jane finds out.. that will be the straw that breaks the camels back...( I am talking about the adoption thingie )

What is Rob hiding ?? A five star hotel indeed.. Walfords best inn most likely LOL

[Siobhan]

I can't see Ian going through with the wedding.. this is Ian's way of payback... Why does he always have to do that???? he can never just confront a person and say "hey you did wrong, i am going to deal with this now" no!! instead he gets all like a weasel and sneaky :angry::angry:

[crazygirl]

i think rob is hiding his wife!!
there has been no spoilers on this at all which does surprise me has we find out about everything else but for some reason this one seems to be very low key

[Nigella harman]

i think rob is hiding his wife!!
there has been no spoilers on this at all which does surprise me has we find out about everything else but for some reason this one seems to be very low key There has!:thumbsup: His wifes the doctor whos recently joined!Im sure i read that last week in soaplife.

[sarah21]

I really like Dawn, she soo pretty yet so unlucky in Love. That Rob is just messing her around, she can do much better.:wub:

Dawn is unlucky in love because she only goes for men who she thinks have money and looks. She is full of herself, totally shallow and deserves all she gets. Maybe next time, she could find herself someone who is single too. I can't see anything attractive in Dawn, probably because she is such a dislikable character. Nobody deserves to be lumbered with her.

[Pinkbanana]

Maybe next time, she could find herself someone who is single too. I can't see anything attractive in Dawn, probably because she is such a dislikable character. Nobody deserves to be lumbered with her.

She's being really naive, but thinks Rob is separated. I dont think that makes her a bad person and I like her character. More so now, than when she first arrived.

It was nice to see some Tanya and Max in it tonight. Ian is creeping me out at the mo, not sure what he's plotting with regards to Jane!!!

[Mr Humphries]

What a rubbish storyline this is for Jane & Ian ! We all know how its going to end, he is a wezeal and needs his head flushing again:rotfl:

[crazygirl]

it was good to see jean back!
rob is a complete :moonie: but dawn does deserve him!!
and has for bradley and stacey i just wish they would clear off somewhere and never come back

[dddMac1]

feel sorry for honey cause she is strugling to cope with having a Downs syndrome baby.Ian is up to something not sure what but the look he gave Jane the other night

[Siobhan]

feel sorry for honey cause she is strugling to cope with having a Downs syndrome baby.Ian is up to something not sure what but the look he gave Jane the other night

Yeah, my heart went out to her last night. She can't help how she feels and it must be tough for her to say it as everyone has accepted Petal. She feels trapped and feels she has to choose between her husband that she does want and a baby she doesn't...

Can't stand the whole Rob/Dawn storyline.. how boring.. it was obvious from the start he was married, only Dawn is clueless!! idiot

[sarah21]

She's being really naive, but thinks Rob is separated. I dont think that makes her a bad person and I like her character. More so now, than when she first arrived.



I don't think Dawn is being naive at all. She is so full of herself she believes that she can have any man she wants. She is the Zoe replacement. Totally self centred. But with Zoe, at least she was young, Dawn is old enough to know exactly what is going on. A man only takes you to a hotel room and won't meet your family. She knows exactly what he is. Next, she will portray the poor badly done to Dawn. No doubt, she will want revenge. Pathetic character.

[parkerman]

I have just watched the Omnibus edition and one thing that occurred to me which I'd missed during the week. When Peggy walked out of Billy's shop and called "Taxi!" there was one there instantly. Do taxis drive round Albert Square all day on the off-chance that Peggy will call them?

And...how does Billy make any money out of that video shop? It's always closed!

[Richie_lecturer]

Nope, they hover round Peggy on the off-chance that she will slip into the road so they can run the Poison Dwarf over. :thumbsup:


And...how does Billy make any money out of that video shop? It's always closed!
No idea. His monthly rent must exceed his monthly turnover. :confused:
Does he still sell videos or has he moved upwards to DVD's? Maybe he's still selling old betamaxes? :confused:

[parkerman]

If he does sell old Betamaxes I might get round there. My old Betamax machine still works ok.:cheer:

[PR1811]

I noticed also this week when Billy was walking out the Video shop to go and do something he didn't shut the door properly, he's lucky he had a video shop to come back to! :)

[parkerman]

You probably wouldn't risk going in and stealing anything because there are too many taxis passing the door.

[Richie_lecturer]

Billy only sells videos anyway, and seeing as video recorders are going out of fashion, it would be pointless stealing a cassette. It would be like stealing a Commodore from Dixons.

[parkerman]

Talking of Billy...Do you think that one day he might get a story line which does not involve him having to choose between his wife and child?

[Rovers Return]

No idea. His monthly rent must exceed his monthly turnover. :confused:
Does he still sell videos or has he moved upwards to DVD's? Maybe he's still selling old betamaxes? :confused:


Phil owns the shop and it only sells DVD's now.

[Richie_lecturer]

....or indeed one which makes him seem like a village idiot. :rolleyes:

[Richie_lecturer]

Phil owns the shop and it only sells DVD's now.
Then it should be renamed under Trade and Descriptions.

[LostVoodoo]

omg, how annoying is that lawyer woman!

[littlemo]

omg, how annoying is that lawyer woman!

I know! lol. I honestly can't imagine them together. She doesn't seem like Phil's type at all. Although I suppose Lisa was quite a strange choice as well.

This isn't a spoiler. I can just see where it's heading.

[Richie_lecturer]

I've not seen Stella. Is she pint sized?

[Siobhan]

omg, how annoying is that lawyer woman!

I felt sorry for her. Poor girl was over worked and just got her divorce through

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I think the woman talking to Billy and Honey had it spot on when she asked if Billy was really okay with it, its so obvious he isnt i feel really sorry for him it cant be nice having to chose between two people you really love

[tammyy2j]

Poor Billy i really feel sorry for him he should just take the baby and kick Honey out. I'm liking Stella she is such a clutch

[dddMac1]

i feel sorry for Billy cause he is been forced to decide between honey and petal who has downs syndrome on the outside but inside she is just a normal Baby girl and it's not fair how honey is making him choose

[Siobhan]

i feel sorry for Billy cause he is been forced to decide between honey and petal who has downs syndrome on the outside but inside she is just a normal Baby girl and it's not fair how honey is making him choose

I agree. He clearly loves both of them and is only going along with adoption to make honey happy.. I am glad he put his foot down on her going into a home. Hopefully honey will see sense soon

[no1abbafan]

Really getting tired of Sean Slater now, thought it was just the Ruby/Sean story I didn't like, but it's typical EE writers, bring in new characters (when they are young/goodlookin) and give us so much of them we get tired of them, (i.e. Slater girls, every storyline revolved around them at one stage) and forget about other characters, Pauline and Joe had the makings of a really good couple, but they gave Joe nothing to do, and now Wendy Richards is leaving, he has to go too.

[Siobhan]

I don't think Joe would have been given anything to do, Wendy Richards didn't want to have Pauline remarry.. maybe when she goes Joe will get a better role

[no1abbafan]

He is leaving shortly after Wendy goes, writers say there is no place to take his character??

[littlemo]

Such a great episode. Great cliffhanger at the end. It was a classic! Watching it again at 10!

I enjoyed the brother/sister stuff between Sean and Stacey, and Bradley being in the middle of that. It was quite funny at the end, when they found Pretti's shoe on the sofa, and then Ruby came in. Bradley was like, what?! lol.

The Dawn stuff was good. Rob certainly likes to live dangerously doesn't he?! His wife working in the square, and Dawn living there. What is he like?!

The Phil/Stella thing was actually quite sweet, and funny with Ben and Abi.

I loved seeing Stacey back to her old self tonight! Fabulous!

[JustJodi]

Dumb question.............:searchme: :hmm: Will there be an episode tomorrow nite since Childeren in Need is on Fri,, I am sure it has been posted some where,, but knowing me i missed it:lol:

[Pinkbanana]

Dumb question.............:searchme: :hmm: Will there be an episode tomorrow nite since Childeren in Need is on Fri,, I am sure it has been posted some where,, but knowing me i missed it:lol:

No, there isnt an episode tomorrow night, but I think there is an hour long episode sometime soon instead (Im sure i read that :hmm: ).

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

No, there isnt an episode tomorrow night, but I think there is an hour long episode sometime soon instead (Im sure i read that :hmm: ).
If so probably on Thursday?!:D

[Richie_lecturer]

I believe it is a normal episode on Thursday.

I think the hour-long episode is next Friday 24th, where Ruby leaves and the Fowler house goes up in flames.

[Kim]

All that I can say is how they've done tonights episode well; in the sense of messing it up!

[Chris_2k11]

I actually didn't think this was too bad this week. There was quite a bit of stuff going on and I thought it was quite good. I liked the stuff with Dawn/Rob, loved the bit where she smashed his window screen :D Not scared to admit I am a bit of a Dawn fan :p haha

[Sam-Elle]

Not scared to admit I am a bit of a Dawn fan :p haha
same i havent been to keen on her in the past but this week she has grown on me.

I absolutely HATE Dawn. I hate the character, I hate the actress, I hate the storyline with Rob and Dr Calendar Month.

Now as people know, I have barely tuned in to EE in recent months, and there are times when you boycott shows like I did with EE and worry it's all going to improve now that I have turned the show off my TV. However it seems I have made an inspired move. I caught a couple of episodes this week, and I found them horrendous. Writing was so so weak and full of cliche after cliche, and using the same old awful characters. That Stella solicitor is the worst portrayal of a solicitor I have ever seen on TV. She is a combination of drippy Ruby and Honey (themselves both characters I find horrendous), which is a very bad representation of a solicitor - totally unconvincing. If EE believe portraying solicitors as shrinking violets is the way forward, there really is no hope....

..and now the awful Ian and Phil feud seems to be starting up again, another attempt by the (plot > character) scriptwriters to make Ian nasty and evil and have Mr Beetroot portrayed as King Philip and an angel. So so boring.

AXE AXE AXE!!! Bring back the good old days and axe the current crap in front-of and behind the camera. It's so awful. No wonder Wendy Richard quit, I can't blame her.

Why don't you say what you mean, Richie, instead of all this pussy-footing around? Do you like Eastenders or not? :rotfl:

You must admit there was one golden moment this week, when Winston was the centre of attraction. More time for Winston that's what I say.

[Richie_lecturer]

Well I'm pleased Winston had a part to play. I'm sure he was good.

I'm an EastEnders fan, but one who has loathed most of the output of the last 3-4 years. I'll probably watch a few episodes as of next Thursday as they are kind of significant, but I won't watch regularly.

I'll watch the xmas day episode as well, again for obvious reasons. :)

[littlemo]

Firstly, I just wanted to make a quick mention of the scene with Dawn and Rob on Tuesday. I thought it was great! I forgot to say last time. I think it's shaping up to be a good storyline, and if you've read the spoilers you'll know there's a lot more to come. :thumbsup:

Tonight, loved the last scene with Jean. And yes I thought Ruby was good tonight, in parts. Thought it was funny and the laundrette when Pauline and Tanya were having a go at her. She seemed to be turning into a female version of Johnny Allen, for a minute there! lol.

Loved Bradley as the good samaritan. He was being loyal to Stacey. He had a caring nature. Ah. Although I couldn't help thinking that Bradley would have been a bit more sympathetic considering his behaviour, when he was shut out of the Jean thing.

So looking forward to Thursday! :thumbsup:

[Chris_2k11]

Yeah it was really good tonight. Best bits were the scenes with Jean in. The Sonia/Martin stuff was good, especially when Joe walked in on them haha and then Martin's towel dropping infront of Dot :lol: Oh and i'm not a Ruby fan but had to laugh when Pauline told her off for slamming the washing machine door and then she did it again :lol: haha I think it's starting to get quite good again, i'm really liking it at the moment!

[sarah21]

I agree with Richie Lecturer (we do sometimes) :lol: EE is very predictable these days with extremely poor writing. You know what is going to happen before it happens. It has such a long way to go. :hmm: The Martin dropping his towel outside the Branning's front room was a direct copy of Jamie a few years ago. Stupid, brainless, self obsessed Dawn throwing a brick through a car last week was pathetic. Just like self obsessed Zoe, blaming everyone else for her own problems.

Speaking of Dawn. She is such an appalling character, played by a very mediocre actress. Get rid please. Quickly.

[Siobhan]

How stupid can one girl be? or should I say desperate.. Sean clearly told Ruby that he didn't love her and that he only wants her money and she says she wants him back!!!! I would have kicked him out on his ass.. And who does she think she is? Everything has to be about her "did you tell your mum that I was with Sean now"... "I am with Sean so it is my problem too".. keep your nose out of it Ruby, you did more harm than good and Stacey is going to kick your ass

Loving EE at the moment

[parkerman]

I thought last night's episode was one of the worst written contrived episodes of all time. First we had Grant's postcard being mistakenly delivered to Ian. How likely is that? Then we had two coincidentally overheard conversations (Ruby and Sean/Stacey; Ben and Phil/Peggy) and finally we had Joe having to go through Dot's house to fix the leak in Keith's. It's like it was written by a 10 year old who couldn't think of any other way to advance the plot other than by all these unlikely contrived coincidences.

Give me strength!:wall:

lol, you were really have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for criticism at the end there. :lol:

I do believe old houses used to have shared loft space and it's only recently that they have had to fill them in due to the fire hazard, if Joe found the leak was water running down the dividing wall it would make sense to check his wifes friends house who lives next door to make sure the problem isn't effecting her!

Oh yes, I should have realised that there is nothing wrong with Joe wanting to get in just as Sonia and Martin were at it. It probably happens all the time.

P.S. I forgot about Bradley knocking Ruby's bag over and finding Stacey's mother's address. Another one to add to the list!

[Richie_lecturer]

Apart from the Stacey and Jean scenes, it was woeful last night, and that coming from their best writer. Gillian Wright superbly underplayed the closing scene, but that was about as good as it got.

As others have said, the plots and the writing last night was so unimaginative. Yet again they resort to these lazy and daft cliched moments, again and again and again. Where is the imagination? You knew what was going to happen with Martin in front of Dot (who sounded a bit frail last night, hope she's ok), you knew the leaky roof business would end up with Son and Martin getting caught, you knew hard-of-hearing Ben would overhear the conversation from 50 metres away, and you knew Bradley would find Jean's address by accidentally knocking over Ruby's bag. Then to top it all off, even we couldn't believe that the experienced postman inexplicably drops a postcard for the Mitchells through Ian's letterbox. All so contrived and so 1992.

Oh well, at least a certain someone has just minutes left on the Square. :cool:

[Dutchgirl]

Oh well, at least a certain someone has just minutes left on the Square. :cool:
Well thanks for that, cannot wait. The stroppy mare, as Tanya's putting it. I hope Jean will not do anything drastic, Stacey could simply not cope. Great acting there I agree.

[Richie_lecturer]

Pauline should have put Ruby in that laundrette machine and stuck it on 50C. She'd easily fit.

[Dutchgirl]

Oh another comment, I hate Ian for putting Jane through this big wedding disaster he obviously is planning. He has done his deal to Jane as well, sleeping with Grant is not an excuse for Jane, but she choose Ian, he must know this. His children will be suffering from all of this as well, shame on him.:nono:

[dddMac1]

good episode last night Ruby should not of told Jean that she was with sean cause of her mental health but in away i'm glad she knows now laughed when Pauline was having ago at her and she slammed the door

[tammyy2j]

What an idiot is Ruby can't wait for her to leave

[PR1811]

What a bitch Ruby was before she left!

So the question is what did Sean do that made him have to leave?!

[littlemo]

What a bitch Ruby was before she left!

So the question is what did Sean do that made him have to leave?!

Not a spoiler, but I think there's something weird about Jean and the relationship she has with Sean. As I said on the Bradley/Stacey thread, I think there's a good chance Jean might have tried something on sexually with him. Yuk!

Really felt for a Sean tonight, when he was crying! The episode changed my opinion of him completely!

Glad Ruby's gone, she behaved like a cow!

Loving Stacey and Sean even more.

And good set up of the Pauline/Martin situation.

[Lizzie Brookes]

Yes, it was good to see another side to Sean. Its too one dimensional to have people completely bad. This shows that what made him a bully and stalking Jake and going after Ruby's money and all the rest of it is his bad relationship with Jean. I used to like Ruby, even up to yesterday's episode. Though i thought it was stupid of her to interfere, I assumed she meant well until the very end when she made Sean choose and started ranting about the wealth - then I really started to hate her.

It's good that Jean knows the truth, she has a right to but Ruby should have listened to Bradley and not interfered. It's not her concern. I was a bit angry at Sean for throwing her father's ashes inher face, that was cruel but I muist admit she was being selfish and insensitive. I wonder whatmade Sean change his mind, I mean if oney was really all he caredabout he would have gone with Ruby but he stayed with Stacey.

[littlemo]

I think Stacey comes before money, with Sean. They have such a special relationship. I love them! God I'm starting to love Sean now, where did that come from?! lol.

[DaVeyWaVey]

A great episode tonight...i felt Ruby was being so spiteful to Stacey at the end...it was horrible Sean throwing Johnny's ashes at her like that though but Ruby was being so stuck up...her exit wasn't that amazing, but it was good.

The woman who plays Jean is such a brilliant actress, her scenes with Stacey and Sean really stood out for me tonight.

I liked the Phil/Stella scenes tonight too, i think Phil and Stella would make a nice couple...it was a shame their date ended in a disaster though because of Ben's phone call! How could Ben do that?! Now Phil doesn't know why Stella left in such a hurry! :(

[littlemo]

I'm sure he'll find out though, eventually! Stella's being a bit stupid over the situation, she should just tell Phil. If one comment from Ben is going to put her off, she's not very strong willed.

[*-Rooney-*]

ruby really is a cow what was she like at the end shouting in the square " I dont need any of you im johnny allens daughter" yeah well maybe someone should show her how well that worked out for him and her mum and sister

sean on the other hand just proved that blood is thicker than wealth

[*-Rooney-*]

Not a spoiler, but I think there's something weird about Jean and the relationship she has with Sean. As I said on the Bradley/Stacey thread, I think there's a good chance Jean might have tried something on sexually with him. Yuk!


i dont think it has anything to do with jean trying it on with sean after their dad died although i could be wrong, i think it could be something simple like he blames himself for his dads death therefore his mums breakdown and thats why he went away to the army to try to do something that would have made his dad proud : just a hunch:)

[Richie_lecturer]

Now Phil doesn't know why Stella left in such a hurry! :(
Stella and ex-alcoholics don't go together. Stella saw the error of her ways and left to hook up with her mate Carl Ling. :cool:

As for Ruby, well her departure is cause for a .......


...CELEBRATION :cheer:

[*-Rooney-*]

i do have to say i am shocked that stacy was so calm at ruby when her and sean got home i read somewhere stacey slapped her but never happened, would have been good to watch the final destruction of the best of friends.

[CrazyLea]

Really felt for a Sean tonight, when he was crying! The episode changed my opinion of him completely!

Sean was really good tonight! He is definately, for me, becoming a really good, strong character.
you could be right baout hte sexual stuff, as he did seem really dismissive whenever she hugged or touched him. I think that would make a great storyline!

Glad Ruby went. I liked her, up until tonight. She was a complete bitch to Stacey for NO reason!!!!!

[littlemo]

Glad Ruby went. I liked her, up until tonight. She was a complete bitch to Stacey for NO reason!!!!!

I know, I don't know how Ruby had the right to have a go at Stacey. Stacey's the one that should have been mad! Pity Bradley wasn't there, he could have given her a piece of his mind. Where was he? Did he just stay upstairs?

It's good that Bradley's giving Stacey and Sean space, but I hope he was there for Stacey afterwards.

[JustJodi]

My partner was like I thought Stacey would have slapped the poop out of Ruby,, I was hoping the same thing, but did any one notice ( maybe i am reading or seeing too much in this ) how Jean was with Sean and how he cringed at her touch and told her not to touch him ????? what is going on with this ???I am hoping that his meeting with Jean will also give us some insight as to why Sean is the way he is now,,,Those 3 are the only decent characters worth watching this evening.:)
Sean should have dumped the cremains on Rubys head..but glad she is gone,, whahoooo...:cheer: :cheer:

Did any one notice the crappola that Ian is pulling on jane now........ a text msg sent from him but pretending its Grant,, :wall:

Ben will fess up, he always does,,,:rolleyes:

Do not even get me started on the dumb :moonie: Martin and Sonia thing,,:mad:

[*-Rooney-*]

no bradley got kicked out of the house earlier on in the episode remember, ruby on her high horse when he was sticking up for stacy saying she should have stayed out of it he told him to get out of her house

[littlemo]

no bradley got kicked out of the house earlier on in the episode remember, ruby on her high horse when he was sticking up for stacy saying she should have stayed out of it he told him to get out of her house

Yeah, what did you think of that scene? was there a point to it?! I think he should have either been properly part of the episode, or not in it at all. It just felt like it was just slot in at the last minute??

In fact they haven't really made much of them all living in the house together. There hasn't really been any signs that it's been difficult. They just happen to be there. What has been the point?

Loved Stacey and Sean's relationship tonight. So sweet! When Sean was breaking down, and he was struggling to keep his emotions in, in front of her, and then he just balled his eyes out. It's like he's protecting her.

[Nigella harman]

It's like he's protecting her. Yeah,it has been pretty pointless having him living there!Thank god hes going back to the "bosom" of his family tonight!!!!:lol: Dot and Jim ROCK!WHO the hell was that girl who was shouting her mouth off tonight?Talk about a total charachter change,how bizzarre,and it was quite dissapointing,Stacey wouldnt have A-Taken that crap!B-Let Ruby go so easily!Wierd!!!
And finally Jean!My god,she scared me tonight,im now totally confused by her illness,can she control it,?But she without doubt stole that episode tonight!!!After tonight i would say shes the best actress(closely followed by Denise Fox and Tanya(If she ever gets any air time!!)And the best new bad guy!!!She totally creeped me out tonight!!!WOW!:eek: :thumbsup: I hope the best actress awards next year are given to one of those 3(Jean,Denise or Tanya!)Brilliant!.And weve got Shirly Wicks coming!:cheer:

[Siobhan]

What a really good episode last night.. Jodi, you are right, the scenes with Jean/Sean and Stacey were excellent!! I did feel sorry for sean a bit last night but I was secretly hoping while his mum had him in the bathroom she might have washed him. When he broke down on the way home, my heart went out to him

Ruby telling Stacey she can have sean and will take him away from her and when sean said he would go, she had this "i told you so" look on her face which was wiped off very very quickly when he threw the ashes at her.. "I am Johnny Allen Daughter, What are you looking at" .. such a bitch

[parkerman]

Yet another amazing coincidence tonight. Phil's phone ringing just at the point he had gone to the loo. Amazing!

[Siobhan]

Yet another amazing coincidence tonight. Phil's phone ringing just at the point he had gone to the loo. Amazing!

ah come on Parkerman.. it is a soap, it has to happen this way or there would be no storylines at all

[Richie_lecturer]

Given some of the storylines lately, that might not be a bad thing!

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

I am just going to try and sumarise what I am going to say..

I think the last minute character change was total and utter rubbish! I mean come on they been best friends for ages and suddenly she just 'never liked her' and got 'sick of her'.. Wtf?! Just like that?! Call that explosive? AGAIN?! I am really getting fed up of this!! :angry: :wall:

I think the Sean/Jean/Stacey storyline is fab. Especially between Sean and Jean tonight.. It was great to see another side of Sean, fab.!

Sonia and Martin.. absoloutly pointless!! Why ruin something good?! I can see another 'explosive' stopryline to come.. :rolleyes: :angry:

What's with Ian and Grant thing?! Save it for another episode when things are even lower as it is!!

I agree with parkerman tbh!! So predictable too!!

EDIT: + what is going on with Phil and Stella?! Pur-leaseee :rolleyes:

[Katy]

i quite like Phil and Stella, if only the milkybar kid would leave them alone. I thought the whole episode was good even Pauline which im surprised about. Her tone with Martin was fab. Finally Rubys gone, Hurray!!!!!!!! We can all forget about her stupid screwed up face and poor acting abilitys.

[Siobhan]

i quite like Phil and Stella, if only the milkybar kid would leave them alone.

Yeah what is it with that kid?? I understand he lost his mum and dad but he didn't want to be near Phil and now he only wants it to be him and phil??? Make up your mind kid!!! I understand kid get jealous when the parent gets a new partner but he is a bit OTT

[x Amby x]

i thought that Ruby acted like a total bitch in last nights episode! That sudden change of personality was rubbish and for her to start saying she never liked Stacey, after all that Stacey did for her after everything she went through with her dad and Juley! Loved it when Sean threw the ashes at her! just what she deserved to be honest! And i mean like Sean was going to choose her over Stacey!

[Jojo]

Yet another amazing coincidence tonight. Phil's phone ringing just at the point he had gone to the loo. Amazing! My phone ALWAYS rings when I go to the loo - bugs the heck out of me. Its like theres a hidden camera or something!! That or someone knocks on the door :rotfl: :rotfl:

[tammyy2j]

Great Ruby is gone hooray all i need know is for pointless Sonia and Martin to go

[Skits]

as ruby was leaving in the black cab last night, the song another one bites the dust came into my head and i kept laughing aloud, i don't know why really just that i'm a bit strange.

what's going to happen to scarlett's and the house now?

[Siobhan]

Knowing that cow she will sell the house so Sean/Stacey will have no where to live.. I am sure she will get someone to manage the club.. doesn't she also own minty place and max's place?

When you pick up the phone after returning from the bog, do you say "Hel-loo"?

Tonight is the beginning of the end for Laundrette Lady.
Prepare for the end of the Fowler house as we've known it (well some of us :o ) for 21 years. :crying:

It will be sad, but from what I've seen of the storyline, its almost a fitting end (finally!) for one of the longer standing residents in Albert Square...

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

:lol: LMAO!! You have just got to love Bobby!! I think he's the best character + actor there!! :lol: An award for him lmao!! I was laughing out loud loads!!

Trust Ian to miss the most important message.. just so typical :angry: Who on earth would buy a new phone and throw it away?! Least take the SIM card and throw that away :rolleyes:

What was Darren on about to Mickey :lol: He really did sound like Sir Alan Sugar. Good stuff!

Was suprised to see Ruby acting so quickly.. I HATE what EE have done to Ruby and Stacey.. just disgraceful. Like Sean and Stacey though x

I never seen Pauline's stairs before so I was amazed :lol: Trust her to be there when it happens and hearing all of it :rolleyes: Wasn't it amazing how Betty stayed so still and silent for soo long (Must have pressed the off button :rolleyes:)

Never expected the fire scene though.. (didn't read spoilers) I want to see what happens next but not going to!! Might spoil the only fun I get!!

[Chris_2k11]

A very disappointing episode. I was expecting it to be a lot better.

[Abbie]

Well i was shocked at the end, since ive stayed away from spoilers and didnt know what was going to happen, althought apart from the end their wasnt much to the episode, and i was a bit dissapointed.

[*-Rooney-*]

it would have been good if EE let ruby leave with her and stacy still friends cos they two have been trough too much to just throw the whole friendship away, even though she did turn into a cow

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

I HATE EE -bosses, people, writers, whoeverfor- what they done to their 'friendship'. I can't believe that's the best they come up with.. so much for 'dramatic storyline' :rolleyes: Oh yeah that was dramatic alright :rolleyes:

[Richie_lecturer]

I agree Chris. I thought it was terrible, really awful.

I'm off to bed now but I'll post my frustrated thoughts up tomorrow. :)

[Pinkbanana]

:lol: LMAO!! You have just got to love Bobby!! I think he's the best character + actor there!! :lol: An award for him lmao!! I was laughing out loud loads!!

Oh for me the scenes with Bobby in, were by far the best parts of the show tonight! Laughed out loud when he came to the door, dressed as up as princess.

Apart from that found tonight both depressing and difficult (nearly changed channels twice) viewing.....Pauline - it will be a blessed relief when she finally goes....and she'll thankfully be finally out of her misery.

I totally agree with you. Princess Bobby:wub: Aww.. I wonder how he'll feel about that when he's in his teens. Pure comical geniusness.

I thought there's be a lot more to Stacey & Ruby's friendship too.. But I'm enjoying seeing the vulnerable side to Sean.

[alan45]

A very disappointing episode. I was expecting it to be a lot better. Wernt we all. It was supposed to be so wonderful I thought I would give EE another whirl. Big mistake. The bit where they were all dissing Pauline was so contrived. It reminded me of all those head to head episodes where they have to people talking for the whole episode just to cover holes in the plots and give background to some convoluted story.

The worst bit was when ever they noticed the fire and the barrow boy rushed over to the house and say 'My Mum's in there'. Eh????? This is the same house he had left a short time earlier after bad mouthing his mother because he thought she was away out. Has he developed X-ray vision???.

Bad bit of continuity there in EE land.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I think we are supposed to believe that Martin knew his mum must be inside the inferno, because he heard Betty the pooch barking.

[*-Rooney-*]

well yeah that was the original plan since we were suppose to believe that they all believed she was out walking betty while they were in the house talking about her

What, in a crowded and noisy street / market stall zone? Give over.

[alan45]

What, in a crowded and noisy street / market stall zone? Give over. You can hardly hear Betty barking behind a wet newspaper at the best of times. The scriptwriters messed up. SIMPLE:rolleyes:

Im NOT arguing with you two about it, Im simply answering the question how did he knew his mum was inside the house. :rolleyes:

[parkerman]

ah come on Parkerman.. it is a soap, it has to happen this way or there would be no storylines at all

Yes, to an extent that is true, Siobhan, but the Eastenders' coincidences are usually just so contrived as to be completely unbelievable. They happen in Coronation Street too of course, but somehow they are much more believable as they are worked in to the story in a much better way and seem to occur much more naturally. In Eastenders they are just thrown deliberately to move the story forward without any thought to a convincing reason for it happening.

Incidentally, I loved the way Pauline's cigarette jumped out of the ashtray to start the fire. It was though someone was pulling on a string at the other end. I was, like others, also completely mystified as to why Marti should have though his mother was inside when, as far as he knew, she definitely wasn't.

[alan45]

Im NOT arguing with you two about it, Im simply answering the question how did he knew his mum was inside the house. :rolleyes: No arguements here Parkerman. Surely they could have come up with something remotely realistice:)

Yes, to an extent that is true, Siobhan, but the Eastenders' coincidences are usually just so contrived as to be completely unbelievable. They happen in Coronation Street too of course, but somehow they are much more believable as they are worked in to the story in a much better way and seem to occur much more naturally. In Eastenders they are just thrown deliberately to move the story forward without any thought to a convincing reason for it happening.

I think you are spot on there.

This week was a good example of the two shows. I don't want to prattle on about EE's main rival but, Danny Baldwin comes home as normal, disappointed after losing a darts match, finds his ex-wife and son in bed. I hate the storyline personally but I thought the surprise of Danny finding out was well done indeed - just sudden and without cliche techniques.

Now last night's EE, well where do you start for unrealistic things...

First of all, Joe takes batteries out of the smoke alarm. I almost turned off at this point, as you just knew there would be a fire.

And then for the rest of the episode. Pauline's descent into depression and doom was being signposted with all the skill and subtlety of a baseball bat applied to the skull.

Pauline feeling a lot better after talking to her son, then within half an hour was contemplating suicide - yet another case of the plot overthrowing character. And what was with the feet walking up the stairs????

The discussion round the table with Dot, Joe, Sonia and Martin: blimey how far fetched and staged can you get? Discussing Pauline's 'state' over tea using Lou's old tea-set, and Joe suspecting Pauline of being depressed - how does he know? When did he suddenly become a doctor?

Finally to Pauline packing her belongings. No way would Pauline leave her life-long home, and not just at the spur of the moment either, or slip of a tongue in Martin's case. She would not even consider it. Totally out of character again.



It's a shame, because I saw Thursday's episode and there were parts of which that I rather enjoyed. However last night summed up everything that is wrong with modern day EastEnders. It should have been a memorable episode. Instead I saw it as poorly written rubbish....

..and I haven't even discussed Miller 'comedy', wooden Ben and Stella the most ridiculous brief in history, Evil Ian ( personality transplant again :rolleyes: ) - as if Jane would go to the park. That text business was so cliched as well at the end. Just an hour of awfulness all round.


Back to my D-Train CD.....

[Richie_lecturer]

Im NOT arguing with you two about it, Im simply answering the question how did he knew his mum was inside the house. :rolleyes:
Hey don't take it personally. I meant no offence, sorry if you felt I did. :)

[PR1811]

Incidentally, I loved the way Pauline's cigarette jumped out of the ashtray to start the fire. It was though someone was pulling on a string at the other end.

*sigh* :rolleyes:

The cigarette was balanced on the ashtray, as time passed the burning end in the tray burns away making it lighter than the filter end, eventually it tips off.

[parkerman]

First of all, Joe takes batteries out of the smoke alarm. I almost turned off at this point, as you just knew there would be a fire.



Yes, why did he take the batteries out of the smoke alarm? Did they even bother to give a reason for this gross piece of negligence?

Also, did Jane not think it a bit strange to get a text from Grant, who is in Portugal, telling her to meet him in a park in Walford?

[Richie_lecturer]

I imagine (guess) it was going off (most smoke alarms bleep occasionally when the battery was dying) so he took the battery out and didn't replace it. Its main purpose though was....

..a plot device. :rolleyes:

[Sam-Elle]

Also, did Jane not think it a bit strange to get a text from Grant, who is in Portugal, telling her to meet him in a park in Walford?

yeah i was thinking that & also why didnt she check the number...but then i remebered that she deleted grants number....(i think?)

[PR1811]

It was going off when Joe pulled the battery out of it, but there was no explanation as to why it was going off. Why they even showed that they had one was a bit of a mystery.

[Richie_lecturer]

It was going off when Joe pulled the battery out of it, but there was no explanation as to why it was going off. Why they even showed that they had one was a bit of a mystery.
As I say, it was a typical EE plot device, i.e. the scriptwriters assume their audience has an IQ of 14, when in actual fact it's nearer 140. Why else do they do these silly 'state-the-obvious' things? :confused: :thumbsdow

[parkerman]

Sorry, one more thing. Why would Ruby have left her dad's ashes behind? Wouldn't she have taken them with her?

Nice touch, though, Sean throwing them at her...

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

How did that fire start i wasnt looking at the screen at the point then i look up and smoke has filled the house, i was watching repeat yesterday but i had to go out to a show before it even got to fridays episode so still missed it

[Siobhan]

How did that fire start i wasnt looking at the screen at the point then i look up and smoke has filled the house, i was watching repeat yesterday but i had to go out to a show before it even got to fridays episode so still missed it

Pauline lit up one of Dot's cigs and she left it in the ashtray while she went to pack. Cig fell on rags and started the fire

[PR1811]

Another thing, why did she take a Taxi at all? She has passed her driving test and her dad had bought her a car, remember when she drove to their old house to pick up some stuff and bumped in to Stacey?

I guess her car was still sitting at the house in Essex with the house lights still on and Johnny's broken bottles of Vodka smashed in his office... There is probably some mouldy scones still sitting in the kitchen next to the daffodils. Not to mention Danny's body buried in the back garden...

[parkerman]

She had to take a taxi because that's how we know she's left...in the back of a black cab. It's traditional. :rotfl:

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

The worst bit was when ever they noticed the fire and the barrow boy rushed over to the house and say 'My Mum's in there'. Eh????? This is the same house he had left a short time earlier after bad mouthing his mother because he thought she was away out. Has he developed X-ray vision???.

Bad bit of continuity there in EE land.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Totally agree!! I thought the same thing too:thumbsdow :rolleyes:


The discussion round the table with Dot, Joe, Sonia and Martin: blimey how far fetched and staged can you get? Discussing Pauline's 'state' over tea using Lou's old tea-set, and Joe suspecting Pauline of being depressed - how does he know? When did he suddenly become a doctor?
Yup.. in her house.. on her table.. using her tea-set :rolleyes:

(It's amazing how my media lessons make me look into things more.. + I actually agree with Alan and Richie :eek::lol:)

[Richie_lecturer]

Sorry, one more thing. Why would Ruby have left her dad's ashes behind? Wouldn't she have taken them with her?

Shame he didn't stick the urn on her head, and she walks blindly into the path of her black cab......

[Richie_lecturer]

Also very corny after Pauline lit one up and started the fire that Joe turns round to look at the house, then Dot realises she hasn't got her fags. Dear oh dear. :rolleyes:

[alan45]

[Chris_2k11]

A much better episode tonight I thought. Glad there was no Bradley & Stacey. If anyone's rammed down our throats it's those two. Best scenes were the ones with Pauline in and i'm liking that Stella aswell. Sure i've seen Jane's mum before? Wasn't she on some kids tv show years ago where she had her own dog and a little aeroplane?? haha ? :confused:

[alan45]

Sure i've Jane's mum before? Wasn't she on some kids tv show years ago where she had her own dog and a little aeroplane?? haha ? :confused: Was she not Nurse Gladys Emmanuel in open all hours???

[Chris_2k11]

Not sure alan i've never seen that :) I think she may have been on a few things though.

[Pinkbanana]

Was she not Nurse Gladys Emmanuel in open all hours???

She was indeed. She was the object of Arkwright's (sp?) desire! :love:

She was also the woman who flew a spotty plane around the country, and had a smart ass dog called Pippin who could do everything from scuba diving to answering the phone (think children's progs like that have alot to answer for, personally :rolleyes: ).

Shame she is only in it for this week. Think she could give Pat/Peggy a run for their money in the battle axe stakes!!! :D

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Pipin :eek: No it can't be he can it :eek: Didn't even recongnise her one bit!! :lol: My brother loves that show :lol:

Anyways... I thought tonight's episode was awful!!

[Chris_2k11]

She was also the woman who flew a spotty plane around the country, and had a smart ass dog called Pippin who could do everything from scuba diving to answering the phone (think children's progs like that have alot to answer for, personally :rolleyes: ).lmao that's the one! :rotfl: :o

[Richie_lecturer]

Well that was almost as bad as Friday's.

You just knew Pauline would get her words in before Martin and Joe revealed all (of course Pauline heard what they had to say on Friday).

Why is Dot worried about what was said in the Fowler living room on Friday? She was the only one who defended her. She has nothing to feel guilty about.

Why is Ian continuing to play games with the Mitchells, hours after his close Aunt almost dies in a fire? Surely he would stay with Pauline until she is about to leave hospital?

And finally, once again EE don't do subtle. Pauline's dark thoughts expressed in a dark blackened living room. Pfff, typical.

On a bright ending, Melissa Suffield was very good as the troublesome Lucy Beale (mark IV?). She has impressed me from what I have seen of her so far. :)

[Richie_lecturer]

i'm liking that Stella aswell.
I prefer Kronenberg myself. :cool:


Sure i've seen Jane's mum before? Wasn't she on some kids tv show years ago where she had her own dog and a little aeroplane?? haha ? :confused:
Wasn't EastEnders was it?

[Nigella harman]

I really liked Lauren and Lucy tonight!and my god,Tanya got a few lines!Its a miracle!!!I agree Stacey has been on too much lately.Its really nice to see the other girls and how refreshing!!!:bow: All getting hammered with a stripper in the back room!:thumbsup: Nurse Gladys!(Didnt catch her name and dont want to!shes Nurse Gladys to me and thats that!!!)Hurrah,even though she does look as though shes gonna be an old battleaxe!!:eek: As for the original battleaxe!Pauline,shame on you!:ninja:

[LostVoodoo]

can i just ask, coz i think i missed something. the bit when the doctor went into Pauline's room, i just heard him say "your husband? your son?" to her and Pauline said no, did we actually hear what he was talking about to her?

[Siobhan]

can i just ask, coz i think i missed something. the bit when the doctor went into Pauline's room, i just heard him say "your husband? your son?" to her and Pauline said no, did we actually hear what he was talking about to her?

nobody did.. he said he has something to say to her and then next thing Martn went into the room and pauline was gone

[Nigella harman]

I think we were meant to think thats when he was telling her about her fakebrain tumour,but i think really he said to her,"Youre fine,you can go home!".

[xStephaniex]

i think the pauline storyline is really sad. i missed the end of the episode lastnight when she was talking to martin and joe, but maybe thats why she left the hospital scared of what the doctor had told her?

[Richie_lecturer]

Time for moan number 1,342...

Surely Martin and Joe realise that if Pauline had a real brain tumour, she would only have been discharged from hospital after several tests (to be sure) or even radiotherapy, making future appointments e.g. counselling, took home medication, and all that only after the doctor had called in the family to reveal the diagnosis. And no way would they just allow Pauline to return home on the bus. :rolleyes:

Speaking to a friend on the phone earlier who is slowly dying from an inoperable brain tumour herself, she thought the whole thing was totally inconsiderate and badly done.

[sarah21]

Yes but Pauline is lying, so it isn't badly done. As for the lack of tests, I'm sure one of the family becomes very suspicious, very soon.....

Pauline really is being a wicked old witch. Fancy putting your family through the worry of thinking you're dying to keep her son at her side. Selfish beyond words.

Enjoyed the hen party scenes. Jane is such a good mum to Lucy and knows exactly how to put Ian in his place. Speaking of mums, Jane's mum is a force to be reckoned with. I liked her.

[Richie_lecturer]

Yes but Pauline is lying, so it isn't badly done. As for the lack of tests, I'm sure one of the family becomes very suspicious, very soon.....

Pauline isn't stupid though and women of that age still tend to see doctors as gods and would have done as she was told. I also hated Pauline's behaviour in the hospital, giving everyone the evils. I'm sorry but I just don't buy it that she would behave that way, I know she is a miserable old moo, and irritating at times, but she would be upset, not vengeful. Pauline would surely know it would only be a matter of time before her lie came out. With an inoperable brain tumour, you normally have five years to live at the most (my friend has three), and she will slowly get weaker (symptoms such as losing ability to walk, or even losing use of an arm) even within months of diagnosis. Pauline's not dumb - she knows that when her family find out, she may well lose them forever so the debacle about Martin and Sonia getting back together would pale into insignificance.

[dddMac1]

can't believe Lauren and Lucy got drunk .it was dificult to tell whether Pauline was telling the truth or not.

[Katy]

i thought it was good last night, apart from the pauline scenes. Lucy was so funny, i well thought she was going to be sick when Jane was trying to get her up the stars. Janes mum, or Aunty Mabel as we should call her was funny. I havent seen her in anything since fat friends.

[Joy2286]

Didn't enjoy last night's episode as much cos my two fave characters weren't in it but having said that I did enjoy the hen night scenes- especially with Lucy and Lauren- was it me or did anyone else think they were looking at the new Ruby and Stacey?

[Chris_2k11]

I did enjoy the hen night scenes- especially with Lucy and Lauren- was it me or did anyone else think they were looking at the new Ruby and Stacey?Oh god I think we could do without a new Ruby. lol

Well I thought tonight's episode was one of the best in ages. Loved practically all of it. Pauline scenes were the best once again :) and drunken Pat :eek: :D it was a nice epi..

[Pinkbanana]

Well I thought tonight's episode was one of the best in ages. Loved practically all of it. Pauline scenes were the best once again :) and drunken Pat :eek: :D it was a nice epi..

Loved Pauline last night, she really is heartless, and seems to be losing it. Putting Martin through all that, just to keep him away from Sonia. Talk about the mother from hell!!!

Love Pat - wish she was more involved in a storyline (last main one for her was the Patrick one :sick: Still having recurring nightmares over that!!! lol), as she just seems very much in the background these days...:(

[kayuqtuq]

I never thought Pauline would stoop so low, she's completely off her trolley. I can't wait until Martin and Joe find out she's been lying to them. Btw, where's Rebecca during all this? Dot's looking after Betty the dog, who's looking after Rebecca?

Carol :searchme:

[parkerman]

I think Betty is looking after Rebecca.:rotfl:

[JustJodi]

Whoa, my hubby was the only one who saw the whole Pauline thing coming!!!!!!!!!!! She has stooped the lowest of low, but all in all it was a great episode.

Every one was wondering about Rebecca, but where was she in the smoke filled house ??? Did they totally forget about her, not one word, not one word was mentioned about her well being, she also should have been on that gurney taking Pauline out from smoke inhalation,, Gawd EE goofed yet again.

Now I am curious to see HOW Martin and Joe find out that Pauline was telling porkies !!!!!
She may not have a brain tumour but she is sure off her rocker !!!!

[Joy2286]

I think they're working on the premise that Rebecca was at school when the fire happened :hmm:

[Siobhan]

I think they're working on the premise that Rebecca was at school when the fire happened :hmm:

Had Rebecca not gone to other relatives? She wasn't in the house all day, wasn't there when they were having the chat around the table while Pauline listened so why would she be there when the fire started?

[Joy2286]

Joe took her to school before he took Pauline for that coffee

[Richie_lecturer]

Love Pat - wish she was more involved in a storyline (last main one for her was the Patrick one :sick: Still having recurring nightmares over that!!! lol), as she just seems very much in the background these days...:(
Couldn't agree more. A great character who is sadly criminally underused these days. :(

In defence of EE I think Rebecca was at school when the fire broke out, though I haven't heard much about who is looking after her now.

But...

Pauline and Ian turning evil, how awful. Not the Pauline and Ian I've known since 1985. Pauline is a miserable old moo, but not a cold calculating monster. She would never go to these lengths to keep Sonia and Martin apart. Didn't buy her 'justification' speech, and I don't buy the storylining of this at all. If perhaps she told Martin she had a tumour at the spur of the moment e.g. as he's about to reveal all about Sonia, and having to live through this rash statement at all costs, that might have been enough to pull the storyline off. But the cold calculating way she has done it, and still having no doubts about it despite the upset it is causing Martin, makes her simply inhuman and uncaring, and Pauline certainly is not that.

As for both Pauline and Ian, well both care about their kids/each other's kids so it is totally out of character to act against their kids' wishes/trick their children. Ian is calculating, but always learns from his mistakes, and would certainly never go to the depths he has gone to for this 'wedding'. I also hate the evil looks he pulls over someone's shoulder. Zzzz.

As for the house I would have thought that the family would not have been allowed in until the insurance people had checked it out and had the electrics sorted out, not to mention drying the place out which would take weeks at this time of year. I don't see any evidence of those industrial dryers they use for flood and fire damage either. Are they expecting it to dry out by willpower alone?

Still very poor.

[Siobhan]

See what I am wondering now is how is EE going to get around this one. Eventually Martin/sonia/Joe is going to tell Ian (as they do) so how is he going to react. Surely he knows it is not real but he has to act like he is very upset as he was last night when he thought it was real.

How is Pauline going to fake all this? How can she be so cold to her son and husband, ok, she is not in love with joe but to do this to Martin!

Hahaha all I can say is

GO JOE! :cheer:

[Richie_lecturer]

You forgot Dot, her best friend, who was supported by Pauline when she got cancer a couple of years ago.

How do you think she will feel when she finds out about Pauline?

[dddMac1]

Pauline has gone to far, what she did was cruel and selfish
Ian is just as bad

[Siobhan]

Pauline has gone to far, what she did was cruel and selfish

At least Ian was having doubts, pauline convinced him to do something worse, humilate her. Ok it would have been bad for him not to turn up but to go ahead with it until the last second is plan nasty from Ian and it was pauline's idea.

Did either of them stop to think that it is the way they treated the people who care about them that is driving them away???

[Bryan]

all tough eastenders is still dull, im enjoying the writing and acting at the moment, especially from the fowlers, pauline for once is entertaining me, it will be sad to see her go, still cant believe she wotn be on our screens the otehr side of this new year.

[Chris_2k11]

I have just heard this new producer has BIG plans for next year. I think it may be on the up you know folks. I have a good feeling about 2007.. :hmm:

Yep, Monday 11th (next week is the Dorset week) they all find out. Pauline gets chucked out her own home! Surprised they find out so soon though.

Sorry Chris I will believe it when/if I see it

yea thats true but Pauline is just poison

[sarah21]

I think EE has really picked up these last few weeks. This week has been very good. Hopefully, it will continue.

[alan45]

I agree with Richie Lecturer (we do sometimes) :lol: EE is very predictable these days with extremely poor writing. You know what is going to happen before it happens. It has such a long way to go. :hmm: The Martin dropping his towel outside the Branning's front room was a direct copy of Jamie a few years ago. Stupid, brainless, self obsessed Dawn throwing a brick through a car last week was pathetic. Just like self obsessed Zoe, blaming everyone else for her own problems.

Speaking of Dawn. She is such an appalling character, played by a very mediocre actress. Get rid please. Quickly.



I think EE has really picked up these last few weeks. This week has been very good. Hopefully, it will continue..


What a difference a week makes.:rolleyes:

[Chris_2k11]

Oooh where did you hear that Chris? :)SoapChat website. Someone posted it.


(next week is the Dorset week)Is there gonna be no scenes from the square at all then?

[parkerman]

Yes there will be scenes in the Square as well.

[Siobhan]

I know everyone is been really good and using spoiler tags but can we discuss all this in the week 49/50 spoiler threads please so that this doesn't become so messy

[Chris_2k11]

hahaha how good was that!

Nice one Phil. :cool:

I thought it was great with Phil. Good one! Ian being stood up, he deserved it. The way that him and Pauline have been conspiring is horrible. Can you believe he'd go along with pretending his auntie had a brain tumour?! It's disgusting!

[Siobhan]

The look on Ian's face was priceless when he turned around and saw Charlie.. I am so glad she stood him up.

[Nigella harman]

The look on Ian's face was priceless when he turned around and saw Charlie.. I am so glad she stood him up. Same here!what a scheming weasel!!!him and the wicked witch of walford!!:D Flipping hec,Nurse Gladys was actually dressed like Nurse Gladys last night!!!it was a bit surreal!!:lol:

[parkerman]

I'll be interested to see how this works out. What did Phil actually say in his text to Jane? How could he have made it so convincing in a few words that she would believe him just like that?

The look on Charlie's face when he saw Mo - brilliant!

[Siobhan]

Actually I really really enjoyed her and pat together.. the nastiness there was brilliant.. Can't wait to see tonight. it will be great

but 2 messages came in.. maybe he did write a long one about how Ian knows and what was in the letter to Peggy??? possible!!

[parkerman]

Oh yes, he could have texted what was in the letter...that might have done it!

[Katy]

good on you girl, Jane deserved to write the smug grin off his face, so i assume it wasnt 4th time lucky. Am liking Janes mum, the faces pulled between her and pat were priceless.

[Sam-Elle]

but 2 messages came in.. maybe he did write a long one about how Ian knows and what was in the letter to Peggy??? possible!!

i really want to know what ian wanted to say to peggy in that letter. hmm :hmm: well all i can say is good for jane
