Dot: "Anyone know first aid?"
Bradley: "I used to be in the cubs" :) :wub:

What the hell is that hat that Honey is wearing, she looks like an eskimo!

I like the new doctor. The scene with Dot, the doctor and Pauline was funny.
A bit rich seeing Garry and Minty give Keef and Billy advice on women. Garry and Minty are hardly love gods :rolleyes: .

Little Mo is being a right miserable shrew. :thumbsdow

Ok episode tonight not as good as last week though. The new doctor's arrival was funny lol with Big Mo/Pauline and Dot. The Honey and Billy stuff was ok. Little Mo is getting on my nerves. Stacey was funny soaking Bradley. Yolande/Pat/Patrick scenes were good. 7/10

I hope Honey and Billy stay together. They make such a good couple. I would hate for them to be split apart by some stupid affair or something like that.

Bree

30-01-2006, 20:44

yeah i really hope they stay togther as well the do make a cute couple :wub:

BlackKat

Wasn't that impressed with the new doctor to be honest. He's a nice character, seems like an okay actor...and yeah, he's cute. It's just if all they have to show us about him in his first episode is that he looks hot in a towel it says something about the character, imo. It was very "Here's the new doctor he's....well, actually he's rather dull, but he's rather cute and....oh, fine, here he is naked...Do you like him now?!?"

I couldn't concentrate in the majority of Honey's scene because of The Hat.

Thought Stacey was very rude today - I understand her still being upset about getting drugged, and she has every right to be horrible to Deano. But she knows now that Bradley had nothing to do with it, so her being horrible to him is just out of order. If she wants nothing to do with him, fine. Just say so and stay out of his way. There was no need for her to throw water all over him. :thumbsdow

Does she actually properly run him over?! :confused:

Yes she did. Did you see the episode? He was as flat as a pancake after been run over by the Morris Minor.

Kim

30-01-2006, 21:28

She knocked him over. God the mags do over-react easily.

She knocked him over. God the mags do over-react easily.

I can't remember if it was a TV guide or one of the soap mags, but the week Rebecca cut Sonia's hair, there was a big headline on one of the covers saying "Attacked With Scissors!!!" :lol:

Bree

The Sun said " Sonia gets short Bec and sides" so it couldn't have been that paper.

BlackKat

30-01-2006, 21:36

It might have been All About Soap. It was definitely a mag though, not a newspaper. It was just funny that it made it sound like Rebecca was some sort of psycho child, when it wasn't actually that big a deal.

Two questions tonight.
1. What happened to Dot's stew? It just disappeared from the doc's doorstep.
2. Who was looking after the pub when Peggy was upstairs with Honey?

The Ghost of Den perhaps :rotfl:

Richie_lecturer

Two questions tonight.
1. What happened to Dot's stew? It just disappeared from the doc's doorstep.
True, I noticed that. Perhaps Mo tripped over it when walking back down the stairs, and broke her neck in the subsequent fall (we hope).

2. Who was looking after the pub when Peggy was upstairs with Honey?
Roosssssieeeee the cleaner I guess, who has trouble just looking after her own husband, let alone the Vic.

littlemo

30-01-2006, 23:57

Honey's pregnant. There's hasn't been much of a build has there? I know it has been said many times before, but everything has happened so quickly. Billy and Honey haven't had much screen time together, I think that's the problem. We didn't see them go to bed together (unless it was an episode I missed). I haven't seen Honey around Billy's at all. There hasn't been any awkward silences at the breakfast table as Honey comes down to join them, like there usually is in soaps, because not many people have their own houses. We haven't seen the relationship progress. The only time I heard Honey had spent the night was tonight when Billy mentioned she hadn't been sleeping.

Well I suppose something can start quick and then it can progress into something special. Honey is quite funny, and would probably be sweet with a baby. If they get a decent script it will probably be nice, but I just want to see more of them.

2. Who was looking after the pub when Peggy was upstairs with Honey?[

winston or tracey ( our two stalwart extras ) :rotfl:

31-01-2006, 10:17

Why doesn't Peggy fire Honey she is the worst barmaid ever? OK i know she is Billy's girlfriend but she really is stupid.

I hope Little Mo doesn't get with the doctor they don't seem suited, Little Mo only ever worked well with and had chemistry with was Billy and now since he is taken maybe she should leave Walford now.

tammyy2j

31-01-2006, 12:50

I like Ruby as well and think she is a great addition to the show. I love her friendship with Stacey.

I think it was mentioned earlier in this thread that Bradley and Ruby would suit each other, and I have to agree.

Stacey is more suited to Deano. Bradley would just not be able to handle Stacey.

I agree with your coupling choices Ruby and Bradley / Deano and Stacey.

Siobhan

31-01-2006, 12:51

I agree with your coupling choices Ruby and Bradley / Deano and Stacey.

Why does everyone have to be paired off???? why can't they just be friends and not start some weird combined name thing so that eventually they only exist as a couple and never again as an individual???

Florijo

31-01-2006, 19:59

Awww, bless Billy :wub: . Get lost Little Mo. Her whittering about Freddie is annoying. She had not be seen for months and neither has Freddie and then all of a sudden we are overloaded with Mo and her problems with Freddie. Honey annoys me but I'm all for Billy and Honey being together.

Why is Stacey being so horrible to Bradley? :mad: :angry: She is annoying me right now, she is being far too rude and bitchy to everyone. :mad:

Chris_2k11

31-01-2006, 20:08

i really liked tonights eppie im really liking honey right now and billy i even liked lilttel mo :eek: lol

BlackKat

31-01-2006, 20:13

Why is Stacey being so horrible to Bradley? :mad: :angry: She is annoying me right now, she is being far too rude and bitchy to everyone. :mad:

I agree with this. :mad: It's not necessary, and just because she's upset about Ruby disappearing (though I can't imagine why) doesn't mean she can take it out on everyone around her.

Honey's not as annoying this week, probably because she's actually showing a personality other than ditzy, where as before she was just a one-dimensional moron. Her mistakes (Spanish Armada, first sequester, etc) are getting on my nerves though - it doesn't make her sound ditzy, it makes her sound uneducated.

Little Mo's annoying me, I want to thump her. How old's Freddie anyway? Surely he should be more mobile?

New doctor pretty boring to be honest. I think that's always going to be a problem with doctors - they don't seem to have much of a charater outside 'doctor'. Well there was Anthony I suppose but he's hardly a shining example of exciting doctors, he is. :lol:

Florijo

31-01-2006, 20:17

Bradley was the best thing about that episode in my opinion. I can't believe how much Little Mo annoys me now considering I used to like her.

Crappy episode really, apart from Bradley. Jim, Dot and Bradley look like a nice little family unit.

Go away Little Mo, far away, and take your whittering crap with you.

CrazyLea

31-01-2006, 21:14

i didnt mind tonights episode. and i dont think staceys really being that mean towards bradley..well not in tonights episode anyway.. she wasjust having a laugh with him really wasnt she?
I thought that honey was really good tonight, im really liking her at the moment, and billy looked so happy about the baby bless them :)

littlemo

31-01-2006, 21:35

Nice episode. We all knew how Billy would react to being a father. Glad he's happy, but I feel quite sad for Little Mo and Freddie. The way he asked Honey whether it was his and how he screamed 'I'm going to be a father', showed me that he didn't really think of Freddie as his son. If Little Mo was to stick around, I think he'd care for Freddie more as an obligation than out of love. I think Mo would see it as Billy starting his 'real family'. She's bound to be angry.

We saw the Mitchell presence tonight didn't we?! Peggy 'your pregnant with a Mitchell'. She always sticks her oar in. Babies are Peggy's thing. Somebody else to carry on the Mitchell line, poor old Freddie, he may have the Mitchell name, but he won't cut it with Peggy.

Bree

31-01-2006, 23:47

i do feel sorry for littel mo i do like her but i do think she should move on and find someone else

yeah she is i cant wait even tho i like mo but i really want this whole storyline too end and billy and honey too be happy

Tannie

01-02-2006, 15:10

Yeah but it will alos be hard on Little Mo because she admitted last night she did love Billy or still did and it wouldn't be nice seeng someone you loved bring up some one else's child.

dddMac1

01-02-2006, 16:02

last's night's episode was good.it's going to be hard for little Mo to Accept that Billy and honey are together and having a baby

tammyy2j

01-02-2006, 16:39

i agree she needs to move on somewhere else and fine a new man :)

I hope that new man isn't the doctor i don't think him and Little Mo fit. She only seem to have chemistry with Billy even her and Alfie were awful. She is better off leaving Walford soon.

feelingyellow

01-02-2006, 16:41

Hmm, an ok episode, unfortunately we had the mitchell surname metioned. God, can't there just get over it? :rolleyes:
The new doctor ... I'm undecided.
Little Mo ... die, die, die - most frustrating woman in Walford! If I have to hear 'Billaaaaaay' one more time I'm going to scream! :angry:

Kim

01-02-2006, 17:57

That gives me a thought. Bianca and Mo could have been good friends. Bring back Bianca. And Peggy's reffering to the 'Mitchell surname' :wall:

littlemo

01-02-2006, 19:44

That gives me a thought. Bianca and Mo could have been good friends. Bring back Bianca. And Peggy's reffering to the 'Mitchell surname' :wall:

Why do you think Bianca and Little Mo would have been friends? They are very different to one another.

I really hate the way Peggy goes on about the Mitchells. Billy is only important to Peggy when it suits her, Billy is supposed to be grateful for the little bits of crumbs she throws him. Honey hasn't got a clue! Little Mo's like Peggy's a bit of a pain isn't she, and Honey says 'well she's been really nice to me'. Very naive!

Look at the way she treated Tiffany when she was pregnant with Courtney, not to mention Kathy. But at least Billy is a decent guy (due to the personality transplant Eastenders gave him, after he first clapped his eyes on Little Mo). And if it came down to it, he'd take Honey's side rather than Peggy's. Phil and Grant are mummy's boys, they hang onto Peggy's apron strings.

I agree with you. Total overkill.

BlackKat

01-02-2006, 21:02

I like Stacey (although her rudeness so far this week has been annoying) but I do feel they're running the risk of using her too much.

Florijo

01-02-2006, 21:03

Yes, I think they are too. I like the character but she is being overused. Unfortunatly, as soon as EE think they have got a really popular character on their hands, they completly ruin it by overusing them.

RE Bianca and Little Mo being friends. Mo could have done with a friend like Bianca during the Trevor years as I remember Bianca always giving Grant grief over the way he treated Tiffany. However I don't think they would have had anything in common to be honest. Bianca liked to go out with Tiffany and have a laugh and a drink, Mo is not like that.

Kim

01-02-2006, 21:20

They could have bonded because of their experiences though.

DaVeyWaVey

01-02-2006, 21:25

I don't think Bianca and Mo would be good friends as they haven't got very much in common. Even though i really like Stacey, I also think she is being overused quite a lot. :)

Yeah, I like her on as much as she is, but it's not good for EastEnders in the long term as Lacey could turn round and leave, then they'd be a bit stuck because they had become so dependant on the character to win them better ratings.

DaVeyWaVey

01-02-2006, 21:44

She does need to be shown quite a lot. I do agree with you there but they shouldn't use her too much either but if Lacey did leave, I am sure it would be a massive blow for Eastenders and their hopes of getting high ratings but even if she did leave, I would be upset but i would still keep watching the show.

Kim

I think I would, but ultimatley, it would affect the popularity of Ruby's character as she is so close to Stacey. If this were to happen, they would loose the fans that only watch for Stacey and Ruby, which in my opinion would be a significant number as EastEnders attracts a lot of viewers that are under the age of 16.

BlackKat

01-02-2006, 21:51

Kim

01-02-2006, 21:57

While Stacey is generally popular now if she is used too much people will become tired of seeing her. I'm not saying she should disappear for weeks on end, because it's annoying when characters do that, but it's also annoying at the other end of the scale when a character is shoved in our faces all the time.

The devoted favourite wont, but I understand where your coming from as a significant number of viewers to not have favourite characters.

littlemo

01-02-2006, 22:43

I don't think Little Mo could stay in Walford watching Honey and Billy and their baby.

Me neither it would be awful. It's a very realistic way of making her leave. I hope she comes back one day, I really like Kacey Ainsworth, and with some decent scripts I know she could get back on form again. Perhaps if the actress who plays Honey decides to leave, her and Billy could get back together at some point in the future.

JustJodi

03-02-2006, 16:02

I honestly didnt feel sorry for Mo, she had her chance not once but twice, He obviously moved on, I think he would have eventually told her if Honey hadn't showed up when she did, At least he wasnt running across the square with food and eating din din with both like Alfie did...Onwards and upwards :) I think Bradley has such a charming smile, and he can act. Stacey really went into a panic...those walls between dots place and the stalers must be paper thin :rotfl:

Great episode! I'm glad Little Mo and Billy are back in the limelight again. It was so obvious how that proposal was going to come out. And again the gossips are at work, nobody is able to get away with anything in the square.

Wasn't the ideal place for Billy to propose was it? why didn't he take her to Fargo's or something?

BlackKat

03-02-2006, 20:40

There were only a few people I didn't want to kill after that episode. And one of them was Peggy, which should never happen.

Patrick: Shock horror! Running a business involves doing things like audits, and VAT. If you didn't know that then you're too stupid to run a business, which I could have told you months ago when you bought the place. Also, grow some balls. If you want a drink, have a drink and tell your wife to shut her cake hole.
Pat: Stop chasing after Patrick, it's boring, and not to mention a horrible thing to do to Yolande.
Yolande: Stop being so annoying and release Patrick's balls from the vice grip you have on them. He's your husband, not a pet.
Charlie: If Billy wants to make a fuss of being engaged to Honey, he can. If he wants to get someone to write the message in the sky he can, because he is no longer with Little Mo, and the world does not revolve around "your girls," okay.
Little Mo: If you were so in love with Billy, what was the crap with Alfie about. Also, shut up.
Garry and Minty: You are a couple of losers, living together. The last three birds you pulled between you were: a) a boring possible lesbian, b) a weird mechanic who "just didn't fancy you" and c) Someone who nicked your wallet. I hardly think you're in a position to give out relationship advice.

However, Billy and Honey are a rather cute couple, and I prefer Honey how she was today then when she's making stupid raincheck mistakes. Peggy was oddly okay, but she should have slapped Little Mo. And Joe was sweet with the notes, and the "double dare." And I think Bradley and Stacey are shaping up to be a nice couple as well.

And why has Branning now being added to the list of families that are brilliant. If it's not "You're a Mitchell," it's "You're a Slater," "You're a Miller," "You're a Fowler," "You're a Beale," "You're a Wicks," "You're a Butcher," "You're a whatever-Naomi's-last-name-is," and now it's "You're a Branning."

I suppose this means when Bradley does something stupid we will be subjected to "Call yourself a Branning?" :thumbsdow

littlemo

03-02-2006, 20:51

Some good points! I agree Billy should be able to make a fuss of his engagement if he wants to. Although I don't think he didn't do it, just because of what Charlie said. He also feels bad about Little Mo, and he was trying to keep the pregnancy a secret, not to announce it to all and sundry. Why he needed to propose in the Vic, I don't know!

Richie_lecturer

03-02-2006, 20:53

Rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish - again! :mad:

How contrived was that scene in the Vic with Honey/Billy/Mo? Didn't see that one coming did we. :rolleyes:

PatPat = Awful. What a waste of Pam and Rudolph's talents.

Joe and Pauline OK but I still have no idea why he wants to settle down with the witch.

3.5/10.

P.S. Good posts Mo and Blackcat, even though I might not agree on everything. :)

I know! lol. It was crazy! Little Mo is standing by the bar, you've got Freddie upstairs, Charlie downstairs, a crowded pub. It's no environment to ask somebody to marry you!

Billy said he wanted to keep it low key after Charlie 'ordered' him to. I assumed that up to then he had been planning to make a fuss of it.

It does seem that he is scared of the Slaters, but I don't think he would have planned to make a big announcement in front of Little Mo anyway. He did want to spare her feelings as much as possible. He doesn't want her to be upset.

Aw that was so sweet! Dot and Pauline and ofcourse Pauline saying yes to Joe. Pat always the best. Nice to see the oldies keeping up the EE standard.

Not sure if it is a problem that I posted twice after each other.

Why was Patrick thanking Yolande for letting him have a double in the Vic? Why does he not tell her to piss off everytime she only "lets" him have a half. Why does he do everything she tells him, why is he so bloody scared of her --- where the hell are Patrick's balls??

Actually considering the fact that EE has decided to neglect the fact that they have about a dozen single men in the Square right now and focus on oldie sex, I don't think I want the above question answered. I'm not being ageist, I think it's wonderful if people find love whatever age blah blah violins and love hearts, and sure if they want to have an active sex life what the hell. I just don't really need to know all about it.

I suppose Garry and Minty should take heart. They may be pathetic losers now but once they hit 70 they'll find true love (possibly with each other). After all apparently in Albert Square only the OAPs have happy marriages, or relationships full stop. Billy should be careful -- Honey's 'Billy Book' might sound cute now, but how long before she's recording his every phone call and 'business' meeting down and presenting it to him as proof of his affair.

And was I the only one hoping that when Dot asked Pauline what she did when things were difficult between her and Arthur, Pauline was going to reply "I got the frying pan out."

I don't know about any of you other folks, but I thought Billy and Honey looked terrific together. Its almost as if they are really in LOVE. They do have on screen chemistry.

Pat and Patrick---I still do not know what happened with those two, did they actually get down and do the dirty deed ?? What has happened to Yolande ? Shes totally a DIFFERENT CHARACTER.:searchme:

I loved the moments with Pauline and Dot, it was superb ( as always ) and finally Pauline saying YES that she would marry Joe.

It was a good episode,,EXCEPT for the moment Pat was eyeballing old Frankieboy:sick:

off the point a moment,( still ee related ), did any one see Charolete"Tina" Avery on ready steady cook?? She is pregnant.And Kacey(lil Mo ) Ainsworth is on THE BIGGER PICTURE WITH NORTON GRAHAM tonight on BBC1

And was I the only one hoping that when Dot asked Pauline what she did when things were difficult between her and Arthur, Pauline was going to reply "I got the frying pan out."

No you're not the only one. She probably had a few 'Mousetraps' set out for him as well. Oh those were the days. :cool:

Not a bad episode tonight for the first time in what seems ages. Star of the show was Dot, and to a lesser extent Pat and Pauline/Joe. June Brown was fabulous as ever. It was nice to have the oldies used a bit more, along with proper character based episodes, crammed with rich dialogue. This is all thanks to Gillian Richmond, one of EE's classic writers who hasn't written an episode in what must be years. Loved the "When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping" line from Dot. :clap:
I do think this wedding storyline is a bit rushed. She'd hardly known him 5 minutes, they've only had the odd peck on the cheek, yet in 11 days she will be a Macer. :confused: Also how would Martin have such good memories of nanna Lou, he was only three years old when he died. :confused: :confused: :confused:

The rest was rubbish though: Honey and Billy, PatPat, and the rest was dull.

5/10.

06-02-2006, 23:08

Gosh, I can't believe so many people enjoyed it! I thought tonight's episode was awful!! The worst thing about it for me, was them using old characters as a basis for the entire episode (apart from a few bits with Honey/Billy & Stacey/Bradley, which weren't good). It can be good in the right circumstances, but tonight it wasn't.

The whole Honey/Billy thing is sweet and all, but them going on about love and growing old together just doesn't seem feasible. I just don't get the vibe from them that I had when him and Little Mo got together.

I don't like Pauline and Joe's relationship, it's way too soon to get married, and I just don't think Pauline would say yes.

What was going on with Pat?! One minute she's being her strong flirty self and the next she's falling apart because Patrick makes one comment about her, and starts crying over Frank's photo. Why?!

Overall I would give the episode 3/10.

I am not know for being a great fan of the present version of EE but I have to say that tonights episode of EE was better than most. Why??? Because they used their old actors who have years of experience in television and film, Its time they were used to drag the show out of the mire into which it has sunk. Get rid of the rubbish ''yoof ''actors who are responsible foe EEs decline in quality or else keep them and move EE to CBBC where their lack of dramatic skills will be appeciated by a less discerning audience

What is your problem with older people ? Aren't they allowed to love ? Are you saying cos they are old they have reached a cut off point and they are not supposed to feel or show love again..Tsk tsk :nono:

I don't have a problem with old people, I just don't think tonights episode worked. It seemed rather forced. The Pauline stuff is very repetitive, she's constantly trying to move on with her life without feeling guilty about it, and get over Arthur. It's been the same thing everytime she's had any feelings about another man.

And I don't mind Pat but that whole Frank thing seemed to come out of nowhere. It didn't help that it was brought on by Honey going on about her and Billy's love (which is completely unrealistic).

I agree with your points you make actually and certainly have reservations about Pauline's hasty decision (as well as the 2Pat and Honey nonsense). However, I think it's good that the older actors are given a chance to shine. I'd settle for them rather than the 'brat pack' crew any day.

Yeah, I liked them. I think they'd be a fun couple. I don't think they'd have a twu luv forever thing, but I think they'd be fun. I'm moving past Jakissie, and I don't want them to hold back on possible storylines/relationships for Jake on the off chance Chrissie would come back. Especially as any return would be contrived given the evidence against her, and I don't think the relationship would work a second time round. I didn't mind them splitting up, I thought it was the right thing for them.

And also *quietly* The part that was pissed at hell at Chrissie for blaming the bail money thing on Jake? That part is pleased as hell that Jake um...really seems to be missing her. Lots. :p

First he turned up on their date when she told him to stand her up, then he made a fool of her at the restaurant (after she made a fool of him), and then he made her kiss him in front of their family, fantastic! lol.

If Kate Harwood is going to make Bradley gay, she's going a funny way about it. He seems really turned on by Stacey.

Jake hasn't any storyline since Chrissie got banged up and Alfie gone so maybe a little romance angle with Dawn will help him. I would prefer her and Jake than her and Deano he seems to young for her.

Oh dear, after a rare decent episode on Monday, old habits seem to have returned if last night is anything to go by.

Two glaring continuity errors:
1)Pauline said she'd been married to Arthur for 40 years. Considering Pauline is in her early 60s and Arthur has been dead for a decade, they would have married aged 11! :eek: Get real EE. :rolleyes:
2)Pauline only discovered she had a sister in 1997, when reading through Lou's old letters to dear old Ethel, which led to the infamous trip to Ireland to find Maggie. Therefore how could Pauline have known her all her life? :searchme:

The rest was quite poor. PatPat. :sick: Weano, Yawn and Fake = zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Pauline/Joe/Dot stuff ok. Honey and Billy = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Just cause someone dies does not mean you stop been married to them... it is still a bond so she would have been 40 years married so she is not wrong there

I have to disagree with you there Siobhan. When someone dies you are no longer married to them. If this was the case then how could a widow remarry without committing bigamy. If Pauline had said ''I would have been married to Arfur for 40 years'' then this would have been correct

Ok ok.. understood but some people still say they are married even if the partner is dead cause they don't want to let go.. but I am not going to argue over this..

About last nights episode, Jake and dawn was wrong.. Jake was totally not interested and put the bet on with Deano and yet when Deano gave him the money when he kissed Dawn he seemed upset.. go figure

Stacey and Bradley, good fun but they should just stay friends.. they don't know each other at all and yet EE have force them together in my opinion

Pat and Patrick.... where did that come from?? Was Pat just horny cause it is not as if there has been much flirtation to warrant Pat demands that Patrick sleeps with her or she doesn't come back to her job...

Fair enough. Seeing as I have been watching since 1985 I am at a slight advantage!

Basically Lou had twins (Pete and Pauline) and two son's (Kenny and) Ronnie - Kenny now lives in New Zeland and Ronnie died as a child.

Pauline does have a sister, Maggie (Flaherty), but nobody (except Ethel) knew about this until 1997 when Pauline read Lou's letters to Ethel, forcing her to trace Maggie and record those infamous episodes in Ireland.

I checked over Lou Beale's page on the EE website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/eastenders/characters/character_content/character_lou_b.shtml) and it pretty much backs up what I have been saying. I can't think of anybody else who could have been Pauline's sister apart from Maggie. :confused:

Oh, hope you find the above info useful Maureen. :)

littlemo

08-02-2006, 18:11

I just checked the EE website too, there is no mention of Pauline having a sister other than Maggie. I just can't believe EE would make that much of an error, about a family who have been there from the beginning. It's awful!

These things slip through the net every now and again. I saw a glaring continuity error on Corrie the other week with Steve talking about his daughter, however it doesn't even compare with this error. This caveat is colossal.

Perhaps because Wendy doesn't want Pauline to remarry she deliberately made the mistake!

I don't know why they are doing the stuff with Pat and Patrick though. It's unrealistic.

More of the doctor, he seems like a nice guy. I also saw a more vulnerable side to Dawn's personality, when she got embarrassed about faking her injury.

Overall 8/10.

Stacey and Bradley are the best!

BlackKat

09-02-2006, 20:16

This thing with Pat and Patrick is ridiculous -- and mainly because there is no chemistry between them, sexual or otherwise. This entire thing is apparently based on this "undeniable" attraction, but there is nothing there. They keep brushing past each other or touching hands accidently, and there's practically a huge sign coming down saying "Insert Chemistry Here." It's not enough for them to tell us that there's chemistry, there has to actually be chemistry, and there just isn't so the entire thing falls flat.

Add to that the fact that it's boring, and it's a very bad storyline.

Was pretty bored tonight to be honest. Finding the Doctor dull, and one dimensional. He is 1) A doctor. 2) Good looking. 3) Polite. And that's basically it. The writers obviously don't think much of the Dennis fans that they're trying to pacify. :rolleyes:

I don't think Dr Cousins is supposed to be another Dennis, he's nothing like him. Maybe some people see similarities with his looks, but I don't think he looks like him personally. Dennis was muscular and had a raw sexiness about him, the Dr is handsome but he doesn't give off the same vibe. Dennis and doctor are worlds away when it comes to education also.

What I mean is, I think it's obvious that they've just put the doctor in as eye candy, and seeing as they just killed off their main eye candy, I think it's to please that segment of fans. However they haven't put any thought into making the doctor's personality interesting. With Dennis he did have a personality and a rich backstory, even if the character and the actor weren't to everyone's tastes.

The only interesting thing about the doctor they've deemed to show us is his naked body. I know it's still early days but his first episode was pretty much "Here's the doctor, here's the doctor naked. Any questions?" which I think is rather patronising.

i think its still really early days yet. and as it goes on his character might develop into something more interesting.

really not likeing pat and patrick, i find them boring and repulsive lol. and as black kat said i dont think theres any chemistry either.

i like bradley and stacey i think theyre cute together :p

Stacey has a bit of Kat in her, playing an toying around with Bradley, I think she pushes him inorder to see how far she can take it and how much he can take of it. This of course to see wether he really likes her, it is of course a game of "Kat" and mouse!
Lacey looked a right stunner tonight.

Yes she definetely has elements of Kat in her, although I hope it doesn't take as long for her and Bradley to get together, as it did for Kat and Alfie. I don't think Stacey has been as hurt in her life as Kat has been. I know her mum has had problems, but it's nothing compared to being abused and pregnant at 13. Although she does still seem quite insecure around men.

If she likes Bradley, I hope she'll have the confidence to make a move. At least she won't be taking a big risk, because she knows how he feels about her.

I can't wait to see this relationship develop!

Wouldn't go that far, but it was quite poor I have to say.

Very little to keep me interested tonight. In fact come to think of it Birks, maybe you're right. It was a very boring ep which had little substance. Pauline back to her miserable ways though at least she smiled a bit. Honey, Dawn and Doctor, who cares. PatPat = awful beyond comprehension. Bradley and Stacey OK but a bit on the irritating side.

I know! They're really great together. Bradley is so much more mature than Deano is. If she went out with Deano, I think she would be let down by him majorly. They are turning him into a womaniser. She wants to have a laugh, but I think Bradley does that as well as being a good guy. Bradley seems to good to be true! he's great!

Right last night observations. Old people don't kiss in eastender. is this in their contracts or has a petition been sent to BBC to stop older people kissing on the lips. Pauline and joe have only kissed cheeky, ditto Dot and jim. Can people over a certain age not lip kiss???

Secondly :clap::clap::clap: the actor who plays Bradley, well done. he is so natural at this part, it is not forced unlike Deano and Dawn. It is like the guy who play Deano is trying to hard to be a wicked Wicks

Oh and since when did Jake go from Zero - 100 over Dawn, he has been rejecting her advances since she came to the square, he kisses her for a bet to teach Deano a lesson and then he got upset last night cause he thinks he has blown it with her... :wall::wall:

They don't want to put off their new target audience of tweenies.

[Just a theory]

I personally find NOTHING wrong with the older folks showing affection, I find it sweet and endearing that there is still love and romance in twilight years. :wub: By withdrawing such affection will give the tweenies an idea that when they are OLD they are not supposed to kiss and have love and romance cos they are CUT OFF AND FINISHED ???Life isn't over till its over.

I total agree with you. it appears in Eastender that only young people can have true affection. that is twaddle.. my parents are in their 60's and they have more love and affection for each other than I have seen in younger people

Couldnt agree more. I am one of the older members on this board and I dont think romance stops at middle age. But then again this is EE :rolleyes: we are talking about. Hardly the programme for role models. If we used EE as an example we would all think it was ok to kill and rob

Does any other soap do that? Also it appears if you are not good looking, you don't get the girl so to speak. the only time it was anyway good was when Jamie picked Sonia but then Sonia changed, became less frumpy and got martin

I have seen it happen on alot of American soaps, but again, American soaps are more sophisicated and glamerous, they would never have a back drop like East Enders ( for shame ) I think Sonia has some what cleaned up.
Hey Siobhan maybe we should start a different thread on this topic ?? Whatcha think ???

I agree, it wasn't a very good episode tonight. That guy Dawn went out with, what a slimeball! And the revelation Nora made was very boring. I felt it was a shame that Bradley and Stacey weren't in it, but I suppose you have to give other people a chance.

Despite that I find the Naomi/Sonia stuff quite realistic surprisingly. It does seem that Sonia's feelings have built up for Naomi over a period of time, and that she feels completely bewildered at what to do with herself. She's got this great reformed family unit with Martin and now everything seems to be turned on it's head. I hope the storyline comes to an end soon, but it's not the worst storyline ever, in my opinion.

overall 3/10.

Aw I did feel sorry for Dawn. I had a friend like Deano once who wanted to be my boyfriend, and I really was just not atracted to the guy, I never gave in and we are still good friends and married other people, so Dawn should have a relationship like that with Deano.

sarah21

Lack of continuity on behalf of the scripwriters

No it wasn't. Absolutely not, and if you actually bothered to watch, you would know that. Martin and Sonia's marriage hit rock bottom and they were splitting up but Pauline had gone behind their backs and agreed to look after Rebecca for Margaret. They stayed together to look after their daughter and their problems were swept under the carpet at the time. Now they are back with a vengence.

This is a very good storyline. It is about kids marrying when they aren't old enough to know what they will want when they grow up. Sonia has now seen that there is a life outside Walford and that she doesn't have to morph into Pauline and sit in front of the tv or go to the local every night. She has realised that there is more to life but Martin, mainly due to insecurity, doesn't want to know. Naomi, offers a way out to Sonia. She represents the life she could have.

I don't believe that Sonia is gay. She loves her friend and feels a connection with her, but because Naomi is gay, she is confused about her feelings. Sonia is very unhappy with the way things are at the moment and I feel sorry for her because it must be bad if Rebecca can't make a difference to the way she feels and poor Martin, he really loves his wife and daughter, but he is oblivious to what is really happening.

Dawn is a spoilt, self centred woman who I can't feel the slightest sympathy with. If she didn't throw herself at anything with a pulse, she might find a decent bloke. The trouble is, she is used to getting her own way and that is why she is upset. Stupid woman.

God Stacey was a cow tonight! She really does need to learn how to apologise properly. Telling Bradley to come and get some chips with her doesn't cut it! I think her characters great but to treat people that way is just not on. Dot and Jim are lovely people and so is Bradley.

Apart from that though I'm glad Yolande understands Stacey. I don't know where that came from, I still thought she didn't like her but it seems she does. Yolande told Stacey to show them the 'real her'. I really want her to do that, soon!

There didn't seem that much awkwardness between Sonia and Naomi tonight, apart from when they first met. It seemed they got back to being friends. You'd think if there were feelings there for Sonia, she'd feel difficult being in the company of Pauline and the Fowlers.
