Well, thank god for that, she's gone! Hopefully Juley will fade back into obsecurity now, at least for a while.

I hardly actually noticed before Ruby said something was wrong between her and Juley, that there was something up. They looked how they always looked -- boring and awkward. I thought that was normal for them or something.

Stacey really needs a storyline that doesn't involve Ruby. She's a great character, and Lacey's one of the best actors they've got. Why are they forcing her to lug Ruby the albatross around with her?

Pat vs Patrick -- boring. Not least because Patrick is being an arrogant jerk for someone who's never run a carlot before, never showed any dream of running the carlot before, and has shown he is clearly useless at running the carlot. I was waiting for Pat to bitchslap him, but unfortunately she did.

Dot has the best evil glare ever. I loved the scene between her and Johnny.

Meh episode. Hopefully they'll be better now they won't be 70% Ruby for at least a few weeks.

Absolutely dreadful, as it has been all this week. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

The only good thing was Johnny's brief scene with Dot, and to a lesser extent Johnny's scene with Pat. The rest was the same old pyramid of piffle.

When will EE wake up and smell the coffee, instead of feeding us such dire pathetic nonsense.

Ruby's gone, good riddance. Hope she gets eaten by a shark on her holiday.

2.5/10

Oh, and one question: Why did Mike get a job managing the club, if he's planning for him and Rosie to go away together? He is planning to *shock* *horror* commute. But then, working in the place where the guy who's partner you nicked isn't that good an idea. Or was it just to show Rosie he could get a job and now she's agreed to go with him he's gonna leave Johnny high and dry.

And how does Rosie think Darren and Demi are going to react when she suddenly uproots them tomorrow and takes them away with Mike. They're clearly attached to their father and for all his faults Keith does love his kids. They're settled in Walford, why can't she leave them be. She knows Keith won't let them starve or come to any harm -- and even if he does, Dawn and Mickey would still be around. If she wants to leave it's her decision, but she's been selfish by deciding to take the twins with her.

I really enjoy watching Eastender or did I

I am so cross with Johnny for not letting Ruby say good-bye to stracy and for running over her phone. Not so sure if I am happy that Juley and ruby spilt up- don’t think I could ever go back with someone who got payed to have sex with me- :sick: no actually I would not be able to get back with him.:nono:
I am glad that rosie saw the real keith

it was classic EE style... Did anyone else expect to hear Mike call Johnny "Gov" cause of the whole bill connection?? :rotfl::rotfl:

Keith was so funny, totally unaware of Rosie needs. everytime she asked what he dream/wished, he just kept mentioning the tv.

Ruby is totally clueless, she could be anymore blond unless she dyes her hair..

Hearing that Keith was raised in foster home, i felt more sorry for him ok he is lazy but he does love his family and will stick with them whereas Mike did a runner. I think Rosie is better off with Keith.

I'm glad Johnny and Ruby are gone, i liked Ruby's character at first but putting her with Juley and being the reason for Dennis death made me hate her now. I just wish the cab would have run over Juley and not the mobile phone. Why he was brought back to EE i wonder he is useless character.

I felt sorry for Stacey (who probably is the best character in EE at present)

I wouldnt be surprised if the Black Taxi was a member of equity as it appears with monotonous regularity on the square to herald the disappearence of a character. Its EE's own version of the grim reaper. :rolleyes:

Mickey Mouse: "After everything Dad's done for us" - erm... what exactly?! :confused: :searchme: :rolleyes:

Taken in and raised two kids that weren't his own. Raised them well enough for Mickey to consider Keith as his father. He might be lazy to say the least, and he does have a lot of flaws, but he does love his kids and he is a good father which is more than you can say for Mike.

I think they exaggerated Keith's character one way or the other this two nights -- yesterday he was the slob from hell, today he was doting father. I feel sorry for him though -- especially as Rosie admitted that she put herself into the 'slave' role. Yes, he does take advantage of that, but up to now she's encouraged it.

I thought Rosie was being very selfish in planning to take Demi and Darren away from Keith -- they're his kids. Her and Mike obviously weren't taking them into consideration, there was no mention of still living close to Walford so they could see Keith regularly, or what the impact of taking them away from their father would be. I think Rosie should have gone with Mike, but left the kids behind (not abandon them, still see them regularly etc.) She's obviously only staying out of a sense of duty to the family which will do more harm than good in the long run.

Video cameras and CCTVs should just be banned in Walford, they bring nothing but trouble. Whether it's two people having sex, someone confessing to murder, or a lovers meeting, if there's a camera nearby it will catch it, it will have special zooming in powers, and the exact person you don't want to see the tape, will either find it or have it given to them.

Oh, and an entire episode with Ruby in what seems like ages...absolute heaven. :bow:

Not a bad episode. I was mad at Rosie for most of the episode, but in an involved in the storyline way, not an angry that she was on my screen way.

It's Rosie that's raised them and done all the hard work. As far as I can see all he's done is sat in that chair day after day. He hasn't 'raised' those kids what so ever! Rosie's done everything for them, not him.

Then what about him helping Darren with his homework? Getting interested in Darren's project for school. He's the main carer for Aleesha when Demi's at school and we often see him out in the Square with the pram and no chair or television in sight, and he obviously has good memories of his own children's childhood. He helped Demi get over her fear of looking after Aleesha again when she returned home after Leo's death, and it was him that met with the social worker to discuss Demi and Aleesha's future and wellbeing.

There's more to being a good parent then being able to cook meals. Yes, kids need clothes, food etc, but they also need emotional support and Keith provides that and he provides it well.

Well said! Keith is a good dad. I felt sorry for both Rosie and Keith tonight, Keith because he realised that Rosie needed more than he was able to give, and that she loved somebody else, and Rosie because she had to give up the man she loved. I think Rosie is anything but selfish, by not going with Mike she put her children first and that is what a mother does.

I don't think her and Mike would have worked out, he is too selfish. I don't think he would have played any paternal role in Demi, Darren or Aleesha's life. He would have taken on the responsibility but it was clear his heart wouldn't have been in it. And him and Rosie aren't on the same wave length, they might have been once, but a man that doesn't understand that a mother needs to be with her children isn't someone she needs to be with. He was all we'll stay in a hotel, until we find somewhere to live, and in the mean time the kids can stay with Keith, very convenient! for him.

I think Rosie must love Keith in some way, it might now be a convenience thing, but they had children together, so there must have an initial attraction. I hope they work it out, because they are great family. I'm sure they will!

Two questions from last night's episode.
1. How, on earth, did Mike and Dawn think they were going to be able to get a big enough mortgage to buy a big house in Buckhurst Hill? Apart from the stolen money, Mike has nothing. Yes he now has a job but he won't have got paid yet. He would have nothing in the bank. Rosie and Dawn's income would be nowhere near enough to buy a big family house in that area. How would they be able to get a mortgage?
2. Why do the producers and scriptwriters continue with this ludicrous Patrick and the car lot story? How many cars has Patrick sold so far? There were a couple at the beginning and then this latest one he got via Deano. He has no idea how to get hold of stock. It is possibly the worst storyline ever in the whole history of Eastenders and that's saying something.

i totaly agree with you,for me its the ferrersa all over again,but worse because its so far fetched it should be on the si-fi channel,even if thay are renting for a big 4 bed house in manchester in a nice area they want a large deposit and the rent is about 2 hundred a week,ans the decent ones dont accept dss,you have to be working and have references from past propertys,for council you have to be on waiting list,and have refs.

I know adult literacy is a serious issue, but I couldn't help laughing with that line. Mickey said 'writing him a letter! you know he can't read?!' I think it was just the way he said it. She was leaving him and calling on his worst insecurity at the same time, that's terrible. I was thinking when she was writing the letter, he can't read. He's started improving, but you can't go on about deep things like feelings etc., when he doesn't know anything but the basics. You can't split up with somebody by letter, when you've been with somebody for 15 years approx, and have two children. It doesn't matter how difficult it's going to be, anybody would rather have their partner break up with them face to face, rather than anything else.

I happen to like the Millers. I think they're good. Not only with the big storylines, but also with everyday life. It seems that they are what a normal east end family would be like. I don't think they've made the most of them yet. There's still so much to do, but I think they have potential. I want them to stay.

BlackKat
21-01-2006, 22:34
I like the Millers too. Particularly Keith, Rosie and the twins. I think Mickey does work as part of the family, but his voice goes through me so I just don't like him. Also while I think he's fine in everyday scenes, when Joe Swash was trying to emote in yesterdays ep it was rather hilarious. Dawn's the opposite though - I like her as a character, although I do think she needs a good storyline and us to see a deeper side of her, but I don't think she works as part of the Millers. She just doesn't seem to fit in with the family, wheras the rest of them just fit as a family. I think Keith and Darren in particular have a very good father and son bond and it comes across well.

I must say a very good episode. A great performance by Lacey Turner once again. Juley was so horrible to Stacey telling her that she "should be in a mental home" I hate Juley :angry: and Stacey nearly moved me to tears for some reason. I am probably the only person who feels this. Rosie shouldn't have told Keith about Mike imo but atleast Keith was making an effort with the romantic meal and stuff. I swear Niaomi fancies Sonia and Pat was really funny tonight locking Yolande in the car lot . Episode rating= 8/10

Did I miss the part where Pat is a qualified bookmaker? I thought she just took it over when Andy died. And while she's locking Yolande in the carlot office, I guess Jake's running Pat's business. And who was working in the mini mart? And who's managing Scarlet's. Is it Musical Businesses Week?

Particularly liked Dot and Jim's, "lets talk about your grandson without actually mentioning anything about it." I know it's realistic because no one has conversations where they say "We need to get the room ready for Bradley, your grandson, who is coming to live with us because he got a job in the City, and who you have been estranged from for a number of years," but I wonder how many people who don't read spoilers or even go on the web knew what on earth they were talking about.

I liked the Stacey vs Juley scene at the end, but thought the house party was pretty boring up til then. Juley's more bearable without Ruby, although I could have done without him shoving his face in Dawn's chest. Gus = boring. He's not a shockingly bad actor, but just really monotonous and bland.

Naomi has been getting better, but she's still just there to cause trouble between Sonia and Martin, instead of being an actual character. What happened to her being gay anyway -- I was sure Stacey was going to mention it when Deano was asking after her, but...nothing. Has that just been forgotten about then?

I thought it was interesting with Sonia and Martin staying together because of Rebecca, and also Rosie staying with Keith because of the kids. Could Sonia end up like Rosie in 20 years? Yeah I know, talking about parallells and themes may be giving the writers too much credit, but I still thought it was interesting.

Anyway, an okay episode. I was expecting a bit more excitement with the house party, but it was good towards the end.

Totally and utterly awful, yet again! :wall:

Surely Yolande had a key to get into the office in the first place, otherwise how did she get in? Surely she could've unlocked the door from the inside as a result. If she didn't have a key then Pat must have left it unlocked! Pathetic. Steer clear of 'comedy' EE. :nono: Even Pat was disappointing tonight - even that is a shocker. :(

All the irritating characters at the party. Why didn't Stacey do a 'Carrie' at the party and do us all a favour?

also why bring up the whole martin,sonia,naomi thing again,did they not all get that we got bored of it last time round?

dawn hair looks horrible when she wears it down she looks like a right spaniel!much prettier when she wears it up.

stacey needs a good smack in the gob,why are they trying there best to make her into kat mark 2,its boring,i cant stand the character and the attitude.

dot has always taken young people under her wing so why make such a big deal out of bradley coming to stay? she has had ashley cotton,she moved into the jacksons when sonia and robbie were still there,billy sonias half bro has stayed with her before,also up until recently naomi so why such the fuss?

BlackKat

What is Dawn's problem with Keith ok he is lazy but he does love all the kids even if he isn't their real dad and he loves Rosie.

I think Dawn's main problem with Keith is that he isn't Mike. She was older when Mike left so she'll remember him more, and it would also have been harder to just accept a "new dad," in the shape of Keith, like Mickey did. She also probably has better memories of her mother when she was more than just a mother -- We get the impression that Rosie and Mike had quite a passionate relationship, so Dawn will have memories of her mother when she was less downtrodden and blame the way she is now on Keith. But also because Keith is lazy and doesn't do much to help out.

I do think though Dawn needs to get over it, because like you say Keith does love the kids and Rosie, which is more than you can say for Mike. After all the crap about wanting a second chance to be her and Mickey's dad he's just left without a word again.

Actually quite a few times Dawn and Keith have seemed to bury the hatchet, but then the next episode it's forgotten and she's been a bitch again. Not sure if that's lousy writing or it's meant to show Dawn can't let it go. Probably the first.

What happened with the whole Honey thing? I missed that, I heard her say some comment to Peggy, but I didn't really understand what it was about.

I didn't like the way they did that drug spiking thing. Deano must be really stupid, he didn't even think about the consequences of his actions. What was the point of the whole thing, if he wasn't going to try and assult her?! I think they missed an opportunity. They could of had her being spiked by a man at the bar or something. Anyway that whole Bradley thing was totally unrealistic, why would he try and assault her when Deano had just gone to phone an ambulance?! Nobody would believe it. But I love the new addition of Bradley, I like his character.

I liked the stuff with Keith tonight, it's a very realistic response. I'm sure they work it out, but I think any husband would need a lot of convincing, that she still loved him.

I thought it was a great episode overall, 7/10.

Bradley the intelligent genius working in a office complete opposite of Deano. The trio worked well together Deano, Stacey and Bradley. I still think Deano and Stacey make a good couple even after he drugged her. Stacey as usual was fabulous.

I feel sorry for Keith. I wonder will Rosie tell the twins she was planning on leaving with Mike and leaving them behind (he didn't want to bring them with him).

Oh I agree Birks, stuff like that and the cardboard funfair et al were absolutely diabolical, the worst days in EE history.

But while it has improved, the standard of the episodes in general imo is still very poor. Last night's episode being no exception, only a marginal improvement on the night before. No redeeming features at all that I could find. Bradley could be a good character but he was thrust straight away into this stupid date-rape storyline, and he also seems to have been moulded into a really banal stereotype as well - so OTT, a bit like Diggory Compton on Corrie.

EDIT: Yes Brenda the Pat-Yolande storyline is total crud.

I might go and watch an episode tonight from July 1988, when Wilmott-Brown gets a good seeing to by Den over at the Dagmar. Now that was EE at its pure genius, wonderful. Today's EE wouldn't even scratch the surface in comparison to that. :(

I like Bradley and I'm glad he is not another 'Deano' type character. I'm actually slowly starting to like Deano since he first appeared on the square. But would anyone really spike someone's drink, without them knowing, just to cheer them up?

I'm also loving the scenes with Yolande and Pat. But as already been mentioned earlier in the thread, Yolande must have had a set of keys to get in to the car lot, therefore she could have just opened the door from the inside.

The Walford police have done well today, they were round the Slaters and the Brannings in double quick time, carted Bradley off and charged him, all in a day, yet a murder on the Square a few weeks ago and the police can't be bothered to try and find the murderer. :rolleyes:

'Grandma Dot' - How sweet was that? :wub: I can see Dot and Bradley having a lovely relationship, it was a nice mention of the past as well when Dot mentioned Ashley.

Poor Bradley, I have really warmed to the guy and this is only his second episode. :wub:

Hate Deano. :angry:

Bradley seems really lovely. I can't wait to see more of him. Deano should have confessed that he gave Stacey drugs.

I think Dot's great, she always likes to see the good in people, and she's learn't not to judge people before you know the truth about them. I liked Dot and Bradley's developing relationship too.

Regarding Stacey, I think after this storyline they need to move her back into the background for a while as there are signs that they are beginning to overuse her. It is nice to see a character that I like on my screen but I would rather she was not overused as that is the quickest way to ruin a character in my book.

So if Scarlet's has this mega CCTV cameras that magically zoom in and turn the mic up when they see someone is confessing to murder...why didn't the police look on the CCTV from the previous night to see what went on in the club?

Surely the police don't actually work like that. There is no evidence that Stacey was even attacked. Bradley's story is entirely plausible, but that police officer wasn't even letting him speak, not to mention she was leading him into saying something incriminating.

Totally agree with you there. I know Stacey is a good character and Lacey plays her well, but I hope they don't force her on us in every scene. Apparently they have big plans for her and I'm concerned that they will ruin her, like they did the Slaters. :thumbsdow

The Walford police are an embarrassment. It can't be that hard for the script writers/editors/researchers/whoever to research the proper police procedures and make the police more realistic. I don't want EE to turn into The Bill but the Walford police still have not solved at least 3 murders in the last 2 years - Jack Dalton, Andy and Dennis. Worse then that, they don't seem to even bother to investigate for more than a few days. No wonder Walford is a haven of crime and murder.

I love Bradley as well and that's good going since he has only been in a couple of episodes.

I think although Deano did wrong, he actually didn't set out to harm Stacey. I'm not excusing spiking someone's drink but in a roundabout way he thought he was trying to help. Silly boy. :nono:

BlackKat
27-01-2006, 10:04
There was a sign up near the site of Dennis's murder saying that there'd been a stabbing and asking anyone who saw anything to come forward. It might still be there, I don't know. We saw them question Phil, and they might have questioned others we just didn't see. But they seem to have dropped it now.

i felt really sorry for stacey. Bradley and Dot were so cute. I totally agree about the police. Deano had better confess you can so tell hes guilty just by how guilty he looks himself. I quite like the look of Bradleys character i hope he is sticking araound.

Jojo

I like Bradleys character - he's more my cup of tea than Deano - at least you can trust Bradley, where as there is no way I could trust Deano, even if he is thinking he is doing the right thing - spiking a drink just isn't on. I hope Stacey gives him a good slap if/when she finds out - give him a better eye than she did Bradley..

Aww, Bradley :wub: I am loving the Dot/Bradley relationship.

I'm glad Deano owned up but I still don't like him. I really hope Stacey and Bradley become friends.

I'm hating this Pat/Yolande stuff. I thought they used to get on and the actress who plays Yolande seems to have decided to ham up her acting, it was awful when her and Pat were in the car lot just before Pat slapped her. Yolande seems to have undergone an EE personality transplant, which is annoying me no end.

Forgot to say that the Mo/Charlie/Stacey scenes were nice too. Those scenes made it clear, to me anyway, that when Little Mo leaves, Mo and Charlie won't be going anywhere.

littlemo
27-01-2006, 20:39
Great episode! Everything got sorted out. Bradley was put in the clear and Deano confessed. I reckon Bradley will forgive Deano in time because that's the kind of guy he is.

I actually ended up feeling sorry for Deano, he didn't have to confess, but in the end he was honest with the police and did the right thing. Stacey is good at dealing out the punches isn't she?!

The whole Rosie/Keith situation is a sorry mess. I didn't think Keith should get back with her, because Rosie is in love with Mike. From his point of view, I don't think he should have given in so easily, but I am happy that they've got back together.

There were two punches in EE tonight, Stacey and Pat! Yolande certainly got what she deserved. The way she spoke to Pat was despicable. I'm really going off her.

BlackKat
27-01-2006, 21:18
Agree on Yolande's personality transplant. :thumbsdow Where has this feud between her and Pat come from? And again agree that the actress playing her was terrible in the last scene. Looked like she'd been taken tips from Louisa Lytton with the eye rolling, and rocking back and forwards.

And while we're on that subject. My favourite line tonight by Stacey (about Ruby) "She'd have been there for me." BWAH! As if.

While I never have any problem with Lacey's acting, they need to teach her how to throw a decent looking punch. Deano and Bradley's black eyes don't match up to the punch that caused them at all.

The spiked drink storyline was good in tonights eppy because it made me feel for all three teens involved. The guy playing Deano impressed me tonight. We didn't see a lot of Bradley, but in the last scene with Deano he was also very good. Plus it's nice to have a storyline not be dragged out or beaten to death. It will have repercussions for the characters, as it should, but there won't be weeks of "Free Bradley Branning," complete with t-shirt.

Florijo
27-01-2006, 21:27
It seems EE has not learned its lesson when it comes to ruining characters and giving them personality transplants in order to fit in with a storyline. Please, EE writers, stop ruining characters by giving them personality transplants. EE should be character-led, not storyline-led.

I hope Deano has learned his lesson and grows up a bit now. It was an incredibly stupid thing to do and he rightly should feel bad about it.

Richie_lecturer
27-01-2006, 22:12
Once again EE deconstructs another good character, this time Yolande. Hang your heads in shame EE bosses. :mad:

Not a particularly good episode, but certainly the best one for a few weeks (saying something). There was actually a sense of purpose and connection between the story lines and characters, and I haven't noticed that for ages.

Sadly the plotlines were the same old rubbish: Miller make-up - zzzzzzzzzzz; Pat and Yolande - zzzzzzzzzzz as mentioned; Deano and the rape storyline - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Pauline and Joe - ok. Dot wonderful as always.

Oh and EE's portrayal of Police activity was an insult. Julia would never have settled for any of that 20 years ago. :mad:

4.5/10.

But didn't Stacey apologise to Mo and Charlie about it all, and they said not to worry, they are always there for her etc etc, so it would have been nice for her to have apologised, though I know this isn't really within her character to do so.

I really don't get what has gone on with the whole Patrick, Pat, Yolande thing. Yolande is acting like she owns Walford - if she thinks she can sort the car lot better than Pat, why doesn't she cover instead, seeing as she never seems to be at the Minute Mart these days...:searchme: She used to be a lovely character and suddenly she is the boss from hell who doesn't care about anyone but herself - she definitely never used to be like that...

I'm glad its not just me. I have been at a complete loss with this Pat/Yolande storyline. Where did it all come from? It was bad enough showing Patrick running a car lot that didn't buy or sell cars, but now this....

Bring back Frank so he can torch the car lot and get rid of the whole damn storyline!

JustJodi
28-01-2006, 11:06
I was thinking the same thing that JOJO and Parkerman were ,,, when did Yolande become such a SHREW... I used to love her she was such a neat lady...Pat was right to just quit and let Yolande deal with it if she is so much better at wheeling and dealing,,
There are just too many gaps in this story line, I mean when did Yolande change,, did they sell Minute Mart to put money in the USED car lot ??
:confused:
About Joe and Pauline,,, I hope this sets Pauline back on her heels... I applaud Joe for saying what he did..
I am glad Bradley is out,, and wanted to smack Deano's face when he said "they let me off "..
Also another question to u guys,,, WHEN DID DEANO BECOME STACEYS friend ??? He was all hot and heavy over Dawn not Stacey,, so forgive me if I missed something,,, I do not remember them BONDING,, :confused:

It's another example of EE giving a rare decent character a personality transplant, just for the convenience of a storyline. They've done it to Ian and Johnny with the Mitchells, and now they're doing it to Yolande. Shame on the bosses. :angry:

Call me evil but I loved every second of it :) I mean, why does he even bother wasting his time on her? She doesn't appreciate him and certainly does not deserve him. She's stuck in her old ways and should just be left like that to carry on with her boring little life :) She never appreciates anyone and is nothing but a stubborn old cow :) So if I was Joe i'd just leave her be :)
