i thought stacey was priceless Dots face was a picture. I really enjoyed Joes stag night last night when he wore that nighty. the whole Patrick and Pat thing should really come to an end it makes my stomach churn. Stacey will tell Yolande especially as she was nice to her when she went into the shop for Chocolate.

thats what i thought. My mum was like oh my god turn it over ive just had my tea. I hope Patrick realises before its to late Pat has nothing to over him. I loved the bridesmaid dresses pauline chose.

Pat has gone from zero to shag monster in 30 seconds!! There was no lead up to this, just pat saying sleep with me or else kind of story. Hope it ends just as quick

I really like the 2pat storyline. I find it really funny to be honest :D but i do agree that there was no build-up to the storyline. I think it was too rushed. If the writers took their time and made Pat and Patrick grow closer, the storyline could be better in my opinion :)

BlackKat

Well I for one am disgusted with Ian Beale. I mean, how dare he?!? How dare he go and visit his mother? How dare he pay for Pauline's honeymoon? How dare he not devote every waking minute and every last penny to Jane? How dare he assume that working to keep a roof over her and the kids head is enough? And to top it all off, he cooks her a bloody meal!!

In other, less sarcastic words, STFU Jane. Shrew.

Tonight's episode was ok. I think Keith and Rosie were the stars of tonight's episode. There acting was superb and i loved their scenes. Niaomi/Garry/Minty scenes were ok and so was Stacey and Bradley's. Loving the way Stacey is giving hints to Pat saying about that she knows about her affair with Patrick. The Dot/Jim scenes were good and it's nice to see Jim being romantic. 7/10. :)

Am I the only one who didn't think Keith was that bad with his request for Rosie to stay at home. After all, Nora is her ex mother in law and the kids were there with their gran so what was the need for Rosie to rush off?

I thought the same thing, and so did my guy, he was like, why ? And did you guys notice Keef had his hair cut??? I think Rosie should have just stayed put and let the kids deal with the grand mother and the hospital staff. Keef went all out with what he did for Valentines day and they were trying to patch things up, Rosie in my book, was in the wrong. For once i felt bad for Keef.

i agree. it was unfair cos although it wasnt a meal at a posh restaurant i think it meant more the fact that keith had gone to all the effort to make it special. also, it may mot be nice that noras condition had got worse but there was nothing rosie could do, she said she was close to her, but to my knowledge she hadnt seen her for years til the other month so i dont think rosie needed to rush up there straight away

Siobhan

15-02-2006, 11:01

I was thinking the same, he did so much for her and yet she drops everything for Nora. If my ex mother in law was in hospital and charley was with her, I wouldn't drop everything

I had to laugh at Lucy and Peter talking about the elephants making Ian feel so bad and Jane smashing his perfect swan desert :rotfl::rotfl:

BlackKat

15-02-2006, 11:02

I can see Rosie's point of view though as well. She's obviously close to Nora, and if Nora's condition is serious and there's the possibility she may die, then I can see why Rosie would want to be with her.

Richie_lecturer

15-02-2006, 11:33

Instead of Chuffing Nora, in Keef's eyes it's Chucking Nora. :cool:

I agree. Keith went to alot of trouble and after all Rosie is the one who should be making it up to Keith since she was going to abandon him and the kids for Mike.

Not a great episode tonight, just an average day in Albert Square. We saw Megan, who seemed a bit of a stuck in the mud, although Pauline wasn't that friendly to her either. The hen night was alright, it was good to see all the women together having a laugh.

There wasn't much other than that, apart from Nora dying, which wasn't that interesting. Keith and Rosie had another fall out. Rosie shouldn't have gone back to him, it's clear it's not where she wants to be.

There was a mention of Billy divorcing Little Mo.

DaVeyWaVey

16-02-2006, 21:01

It was an ok episode tonight but not the best. Megan seems a good addition to the cast and you can tell that there is going to be tension between her and Pauline. It's nice to see everyone enjoying themselves at Pauline's hen party. Rosie and Keith were good tonight. 6/10 :)

BlackKat

16-02-2006, 21:15

Was totally on Rosie's side during the fight -- I was on Keith's when Rosie planned to leave with Mike and I still think it was wrong for her to do that. But Nora isn't Mike, and Keith was being selfish. I don't think they should have got back together so soon - it's obvious there are still issues to be dealt with.

Didn't get why Jane was so angry -- for god sake, so he wants to visit his mother on his own. So what? Yeah, it's a bit presumptuous for him to assume she'll take care of his kids on her own, but seeing as she hasn't mentioned that I'll assume she has other reasons. Oh, but he's promised to take her on an expensive holiday so it's all okay. :rolleyes: Didn't like that scene, but I don't really like the couple so.

i watched the 10 o clock one,not bad in bits,just the miller storyline that got on my nerves,glad i didn't turn over emmerdale though,hen night was ok but a bit like we've bin here heard most of this before but some bits were funny

Siobhan

Didn't get why Jane was so angry -- for god sake, so he wants to visit his mother on his own. So what?

Jane is angry cause he is not just going to visit his mother, he is going on safari with her as her boyfriend dropped out of the trip.

I felt sorry for keith too! Rosie was the one who was leaving him for her ex, it is only natural for him to be jealous. As for Pauline and Megan, I would be very pissed of too if someone I never met was invited to stay at my place and then to steal the hot water when I wanted a bath :angry:

I laughed at the hen night, it was good

I also saw it coming too, I wonder if Keef has a super duper memory and has memorized the number ??? :hmm: Also did u notice how quickly Mickey turned against Keef ?? Right now I just want this Miller story line to make some sense..:rolleyes:

Siobhan

17-02-2006, 12:33

He didn't turn against him, he was upset that his gran has just died and his dad didn't know.

BlackKat

17-02-2006, 12:34

I think the Miller storyline makes sense -- of course, it might not be a storyline everyone enjoys although I like it, but I don't think it's confusing or that anyone is acting out of character. I didn't see Mickey as 'turning against' Keith - just saying it was a cruddy thing to do which it was.

Richie_lecturer

17-02-2006, 12:36

Wow, Rosie Miller stands upto Keef - that's good. :)

The Hen Night was great as well, reminded me of the old days. :)

Just shows that when they put their minds to it, EE can do some OK stuff.

It is not out of character. But I'm just wondering what they want with Keith and Rosie. She nearly left him, he then went to crash at Minty's and Gary's, Rosie upset wanting him to come back, he comes back, she tries to win back his affections,he organizes a meal for Valentines, and again they fall out over Nora?:searchme: It is all too confusing. Or I will be after the next episode of.......

I just don't see it as confusing. :searchme: Rosie's obviously still in love with Mike, despite knowing his obvious failings. She stayed for her family, and I think she wanted Keith to come back for the family. That's not to say she doesn't have feelings for Keith, but I think it's a more 'comfortable' sort of love, than any great passion.

If it's confusing, it's because the characters are confused, because the characters don't know what they want, and I think they're doing a better job with it than the Naomi/Sonia/Martin borefest.

I don't really know what you mean by not knowing what they want with Rosie and Keith. They want to tell a storyline, and this is the storyline they've decided on. :searchme: Obviously if the storyline works will change from viewer to viewer, but that's all they're trying to do.

i have to disgaree, its not very often i feel like commenting on eastenders these days, but tonights was top quality!!!

i loved kevin...he reminds me a lot of Del Boy...so i think he could be great in the show his catchphrase "shut up you tart"...hes a lot like Frank in a way...so maybe him and pat... :searchme:

Like I said it was great up to the bit in the Vic. I just felt the fight was contrived, as well as badly co-ordinated. Suddenly everyone starts fighting, Yolande and Patrick's marriage breaks up, but it's all alright because "we wouldn't want to be anywhere else!" It was too birthday-ish -- I half expected everyone to stop turn to the camera and start singing Happy Birthday.

Last year they managed to give nods to the past, as well as have a good storyline, but it was never obviously a "birthday," episode like tonights.

good old Phil Daniels adding some much needed humour to the soap, he's going to be a great addition well done EE. A good enjoyable episode particulary the brawl, now that was some fight hilarious.

Yes I thought there was a lot of Frank in him too. I don't know whether they should copy his catchphrases, they're Frank's. Although maybe that's the way a lot of people speak in the eastend. It's strange really because Kevin has nothing to do with Frank. Brian is Pat's first husband, who is related to Kevin. I suppose those are the kinds of men she goes for.

I liked the fight at the end, classic Walford! and Peggy was getting in on sorting it all out. I was expecting the revelation from Stacey to be more spiteful, but it didn't come across that way at all. It was very casual, like she was talking to Yolande as a friend.

I didn't think the way Bradley reacted to Stacey was nice. She was just telling the truth, and from what she saw earlier in the day (Patrick and Pat smiling and kissing on the street, which it turned out wasn't what she thought she saw), suggested that Patrick was never going to leave Pat. Obviously she can't stand to see women being taken advantage of.

lol. I liked that line. New people coming into it, the Wicks family forming, it was like the beginning of a new era. It is like that now in EE, it seems to be changing by the day, so many new characters, the young and the old all mixing in together. It's great!

Loved last night's episode. The best episode of this week in my opinion. I really like Kevin. I think he is a great character and the fight at the end was really good.
Yolande: You slept with my husband?
Pat: I don't remember doing much sleeping :D Brilliant line!
I thought Bradley's reaction towards Stacey was really horrible, all she wanted to do was tell the truth :confused: and i was so glad to see Pauline get married and smile :) Like many people have said, it is like a beginning of a new era for Eastenders :)

Well Stacey must have known what Yolande's reaction would be. So I think that Bradley's reaction is not that horrible.

It wasn't really the right place to say it, but I think Stacey was full of good intentions. Yolande has been nice to her recently and I don't think she'd feel comfortable about keeping her in the dark about something so important.

You can understand why Bradley reacted the way he did, because he sees what she did as her being a trouble maker. I also don't think Bradley likes making a scene. Whereas Stacey likes to get the reputation as somebody who doesn't care what other people think and how many people look. Which I think is the way a lot of people would like to be given the choice.

When I saw Friday's epi, I thought Bradley was being harsh, but after thinking about it I can see both his and Stacey's side of it. I still think Stacey should have told Yolande somewhere less public, but then that's not her style! :D

Emma-Lou

19-02-2006, 18:25

I really enjoyed Fridays episode recently i have just watched it but not enjoyed it that much but Fridays was good.I think Stacey was right to tell Yolande about Pat and Patrick.I liked the fact that it started out with just Yolande and Pat fighting but then suddenly everybody got invoved while others just stood back and watched while Pauline seemed really happy and calm.

was it just me or did everyone else want to sing "parklife" when they seen kevin?lol - i was expecting him to say, I get up late 'cept Wednesdays, when I get rudely awakened by the dustcart.....

He looks like he could be a good character though, but I'm going to reserve judgment for a while and see how much the scriptwriters ruin him, like they seem to have everyone else so far. I think I have watched once in the past 4 weeks now and I have followed EE since the start. Even if Pat/Pat wasn't bad enough, I don't think I really want to be watching for what appears to be lined up for us.

Florijo

20-02-2006, 20:44

Aww, poor Ian. I know he can be annoying but I feel sorry for him, having lost both his parents.

I hate the Pat/Patrick thing. What exactly was the point of it all? It all seemed so random, especially as it looks as though Patrick will give up the car lot. It seems like the only reason they gave him the car lot was so that they could put him with Pat for a contrived fling. No character development or anything. :wall:

Not sure about Carly. I have not taken to her in the way I took to Bradley (i.e I liked him after his first episode) but I will give her a chance.

Dutchgirl

20-02-2006, 21:19

Adam gave a convincing performance there! Jane is so sympathetic, he should hold on to here for dear life.
The story could be that of real life. It is so utterly freak to go and visit someone and at the same time they have an accident. My dad went to visit my grandma in South Africa she died on the night when he supposed to fly out there, she wasn't even ill. Real life can be so bizarre you couldn't make it up.

BlackKat

20-02-2006, 21:21

I'm not sure about Carly either. There wasn't anything dislikable about her, but at the same time, as you said Florijo, I didn't take to her instantly either.

Richie_lecturer

20-02-2006, 21:24

Not a bad episode but I am gutted that they are killing Kathy Beale off. The short-mindedness of the bosses is bewildering. There's no need to kill her off just to create a plot, where does it end?

Great performance from Adam Woodyatt, proving that given decent material (NOT Free Wellard), he can put in a sterling performance.

The rest was a bit dull to be honest.

Haven't taken to Kevin/Carly/Nico at all yet, but it's early days so I'll keep my hopes up.

Poor Ian ive not really been a fan of him but tonight bless him i felt sorry for the guy great acting from Adam even if he did find out right at the end cant wait untill tomorrows episode to see Adam's portrail of how Ian is feeling right now.

Cant belive Eastenders are killing Kathy it seems all the old characters are leaving (even ones who left ages ago) and they are making it into a whole new soap that views will no longer recognise if they carry on ive been a fan for years but even i ardly recognise it anymore.

I didnt think much of Kevin tonight he was way better on friday night not likeing Carly alot but she may grow on me.

Felt sory for Stacey tonight though having near enough the entire square hate her even Bradley the one person that seemed to truely like her since Ruby left.

littlemo

20-02-2006, 21:48

Yolande gave a reasonable performance as the betrayed wife, and I did feel a bit sorry for her. Pat can be a bit self involved, but I do prefer her a lot more than Yolande. She doesn't care what people think of her, and she's confident, I like that in a character. You make one mistake and everybody hates you in Walford.

Felt sorry for Stacey tonight. Bradley isn't giving up the fight easily. I found Yolande's words a bit harsh as well. She was right that Stacey should have told her somewhere more private, but Stacey's not a bad person. She had no right to say that, she barely knows her.

I don't know what to say about the Wicks. Don't know them well enough yet.

Sad for Ian.

I agree about that okay yeah Stacey could have taken her aside and said it in private but the girl was looking out for Yolande bless her and Yolande was right nasty to her tonight i used to think Yolande was alright but now i dont like her very much at all Stacey is only guilty of being a good friend to Yolande and she should have realised that.

Exactly! Some people can't see past the end of their nose. Not many people on the square know about Stacey's family, and the suffering that she is going through. Yolande hasn't seen all sides of Stacey, if she had she would know that she isn't an evil person.

Although I suppose you can't blame people for only seeing the worst side of Stacey, because she doesn't open up easily. She's a lot like Kat in that way.

Exactly! Some people can't see past the end of their nose. Not many people on the square know about Stacey's family, and the suffering that she is going through. Yolande hasn't seen all sides of Stacey, if she had she would know that she isn't an evil person.

Although I suppose you can't blame people for only seeing the worst side of Stacey, because she doesn't open up easily. She's a lot like Kat in that way.

There is alot of Kat in Stacey i think and you can just tell that when Stacey is ready she will reveal all just like Kat did. Yolande was bang out of order tonight Stacey isnt a bad person she just hasnt had much love and care in life and therefore isnt able to show love and care back to people but when she wants to be she can be really sweet.

I hope Stacey cracks soon so the entire square can see whats really underneathe the tough Stacey they all seem to know and hate

In Yolande's defence if someone announced my husband had been cheating on me to the entire pub I'd be pretty angry at them too. Yes, Stacey has her reasons and her background that causes her to do things like that, but unless I know someone's background when they do something like that my first thought isn't "Well I won't say anything because they might have had a horrible home life."

20-02-2006, 22:39

i agree i think yolande was only angry and that is why she acted like that. she is more angry that stacy told her in public.

pat is really doing my head in at the moment she thinks she is someone special

Ian Beale played by Adam Woodyatt was in top form last night. It just shows how good the old established characters are the backbone of EE. Much superior to all the Shannis and Kalfie nonsense.

Well done Adam

It is just me or has Yolande's accent become stronger over the past few weeks. It is getting really annoying and seem fake. It may not be but it seems it to me

i dont like yolande how do you say it anyway people call her different names dot-yoland,
pat-yolander, everyone else-yolande

Katy

21-02-2006, 14:19

the last final scene was so good, and yolandes accent has become stronger in my opinion she seems to put the emphasis on the end syllable which she never did. I thought Ian was so good with his video camera, and then to hear the news it was awful. i cant believe im going to miss tonights episode.

Jojo

21-02-2006, 14:58

Im watching it at the minute, and yolande is seriously annoying me. Yes I feel sorry for her over Pat/Pat, but who is she to act all high and mighty - wasn't she still married when she met and started living with Patrick......

And I just don't like her change in character - she was great a while back, and now, like some of you have said, her accent has gone so much stronger, its almost like the sudden disappearing american accent from Vicky..

But still Pat was slapped again, is the count up to three now?

Jojo

21-02-2006, 15:33

I did feel for Stacy, but then she was having a pop at Patrick and there was Bradley right behind her!! I really like Bradley's character, he makes a change. I think Stacy obviously does really like Bradley, but she's got to learn to keep quiet about things, that or reveal them discreetly rather than being in peoples face all of the time.

Too much time devoted to them though I think.

Brilliant from Ian. Jane was way too quick coming out with it, but bless him, did I have a lump in my throat!

How did you tell someone their mum is dead??? I think I would rather have it done quickly then to have the fussing. Ian knew before she said it though. when she say about the accident and then she told him to sit down, he knew then so she just came out and said itTrue, but it was all sort of rolled into one sentence, no pause between Ian sit down love and shes gone, kathys dead - I would have paused a little bit I think

BlackKat

21-02-2006, 15:41

The way Jane told Ian bugged me as well. I think she said it quite harshly - it didn't feel right, like the acting was off. It wasn't what she said, it was how she said. She sounded quite bitchy to me. :searchme:

21-02-2006, 16:04

Adam did a fab job last night there wasnt much ofa line for him but that no was just perfect however i do think they rushed the line that Jane had there she could have sat him down properly a bit earlier in the episode instead of having the other rubbish that they had. Ian and Jane was by far the best bit last night i think and Adam played a very convincing act.

Paddy

21-02-2006, 17:23

The bit that made it unconvincing for me was they way she said 'Kathy is dead' rather than 'your Mum is dead'

I agree about the Kathy bit it did seem odd but maybe thats just what they felt Jane would say in that situation having never met Kathy but i really dunno but i still stand by what i said about Jane and Ian being the best part of last night episode and am really looking foward to tonights episode to see how Adam shows Ian's feelings now tat we have more time to see Ian

Florijo

21-02-2006, 20:06

Did anyone else feel that they did not spend long enough dealing with Ian's grief? It seemed as though it was given less importance than the Wicks storyline. I mean a character that has been in EE from the start (albeit having left a while ago) has just died and this conflict between this family that we have only just met (the Wicks) and their in-laws seemed to take up most of the episode. :mad:

Great acting by Adam Woodyatt though. :bow:

Me either. Shockingly, Deano is the one I like best. :eek: (I thought there was a nice moment yesterday with him defending Pat.)

Carly's really bugging me, and I can't say why. I don't think the actress is very good. Kevin's annoying as well, and I don't care how many things Phil Daniel's has been in, he's too loud and over the top.

Maybe they'll settle in, but right now I just don't like them.

---

Thought Adam Woodyatt was fantastic in todays episode. :cheer: As was James Alexandrou. I'm not a big fan of Jane though. I thought Peggy was out of order, she should have steered clear instead of banging the door down to try and speak to Ian.

So-so episode. I felt too much time was spent on the NuWicks, when it should have been focused on Kathy's death.

Johnny Allen

You also wouldn't say 'dead' either. You'd say 'died' or 'passed away' I think... :hmm:

yeh i thought she said it ok til she added kathys dead, its just not the sort of way you tell someone, plus when she said that bit her voice seemed to lose the caring voice and it sounded more like she didnt really care that much, well thats what it sounded like to me anyway!

littlemo

21-02-2006, 20:20

Kathy left a long time ago, and to be honest I don't feel that sad about it. Adam is a good actor though, and he portrays grief well.

I'm really taking to Nico, he's really gorgeous and he seems like a very sweet guy. It's strange seeing the guy who used to play Chris (not going to attempt to spell the surname) from Birds of a Feather. He's changed a lot, much older and has grown out a bit from the way he was before. I'd say the mother, is a traditional greek matriach, and rules the roost. But clearly Carly can take care of herself.

I think they are good editions to the square. It's been a long time since we've had foreigners in EE, there's been a few indians, but it's nice to have a change. Have we had any greeks before? I don't think so. Interesting introduction, not sure how it will pan out, but could progress nicely.

Florijo

21-02-2006, 20:23

Are Nico's family going to be in it permantely.

I don't believe they are. I know Yannis is only going to be in about three episodes. I hope EE don't bombard us with the new Wicks like they always seem to do with new characters. We hardly know Deano, and now we have to get to know Kevin and now Carly, and soon Bert etc etc. Too many new faces. It feels like a completly different show.

Too much time with the Wicks not enough time with Ian we dont need to see the Wicks really they havent been in it long enough to have an audience that really cares about them like people will do with Ian and tonight Ian is what people will have wanted to see tonight. While i lke Deano and its great to see him the other to i really cant stand and i would have rather they focused the entire episode on Ian tonight as i dont think we aregoing to see him now until he comes back with Ben.

Yes I agree, I like them. But they can't all continue living in Pat's, it's just ridiculous. How many bedrooms has she got? They've got Billy and Honey living there as well.

I reckon Peggy should allow Billy and Honey to move in with her for the time being. And the Wicks should find a place of their own, a house on the square. I hope Nico's staying. Him and Carly do seem to be in love, so I think he could be. Probably Carly will say that she'll get back with him on the condition that they can stay in the square, and be as far away from his family as possible.

I'm looking forward to seeing storylines involving the Wicks family.

Florijo

I agree with that. Shows the two extremes in the show right now - great acting from Adam Woodyatt, yet the Wicks stuff has been very disappointing. Not only have they been shoved in our faces, but they have also been very disappointing. Phil Daniels I have to say has been out of his depth so far, and Kellie Shirley has also been disappointing. What a shame, I had such high hopes for them.

Absolutely they brought them in to fast i think and now they are making us watch them fight with Nico's family while most of us would rather watch Ian who is a very well established character grieve for his mum, this just happens to be about the best storyline Ian has evry been involvd in yet we have to watch a fight between two families we dont even care about

Florijo

21-02-2006, 21:49

Ian and Adam deserved more than play second fiddle. He was saddled with that appalling Wellard storyline and then they give him hardly any screen grieving time before shipping him off to South Africa for who knows how long. The Wicks' family fight with the Greek in-laws could have waited a few episodes, or at least not be so full on.

Adam's acting today has proved yet again how the acting awards at soap/TV awards are won more on a popularity contest than on actual acting ability. I feel sorry for Adam (and Pam St Clement etc) as they will never get any awards for their acting, especially when they are voted for by Internet voting and the like. :mad:

Xx-Vicky-xX

21-02-2006, 21:54

Yeh i agree that that fight could have waited until Ian had gone we needed to see him alot more than we did tonight before watching him leave.

Brilliant acting from Adam and James tonight im even considering writing to Adam after this to tell him hw well i think he has done

JustJodi

21-02-2006, 22:02

Kudos to Adam and James this evening as well, they were great, Vixie-Lou thats a nice guesture, stars some times really appreciate "praise"..

I also thought that that Greek family and the Wicks family brawl, was totally uncalled for, and I felt bad for Pat , cos she looses a friend, and then comes home to a trashed living room,,

More time should have been spent with Ian and less time on the NEWBIES (ie the Wicks )

Will be interesting to see what happens on Thursday :)

Xx-Vicky-xX

21-02-2006, 22:10

Florijo

21-02-2006, 22:21

Adam seems like a nice guy, apparently he does loads of bike rides for charity. Top bloke. It will be a sad day when Ian, Pat (and Dot) leave EE. Ian has always been the type of guy that feels real, like a normal guy.

I thought the scenes with the Wicks etc. were just awful. It was like something on children's television. I thought both the writing and the acting were unbelievably bad.

Ok I confess, when pat started crying that was me gone :crying::crying: Ian and martin scene was very moving and touch, Shame is was overmarred by the poor Wick fight. That could have waited til another day. "parklife"

Siobhan that was how I felt,, I started bawling as soon as Pat was told, it was a good scene in the darken cafe with Ian and Martin, Martin has lost so many people in his family that he loved, so he did a good job ..The Wicks fight would have been ok for a FILLER when there were some "down days " with the program,, I think it was a waste of space..:rolleyes:

22-02-2006, 10:54

Ian and Martin's scenes were good i forgot they are cousins because they never really seemed that close. Sonia as usual was cow i really hope they kill her character and get her to leave Walford. All Kevin seems to do is fight since he arrived but i like his character not sure about Carly yet. If i was Pat coming back seeing the state of her house and being upset that her friend died i throw them out.

And then going around an thrashing Pat's livingroom, my heart broke, I love Pat.

Again I couldn't agree more. EE obviously have their priorities wrong these days - either that or they are getting even more out of touch with their adult audience.

They got out of touch with the adult audience when they brought in people for looks and not for talent. Look at corrie, there is very little eye candy in the show but good actors. They would never take away from an old actor talent with a new family who are just bad.

Richie_lecturer

22-02-2006, 12:02

Well to be fair, even Corrie have gone down the 'totty' route in recent years to an extent, e.g. the recasting of Sarah-Platt into a 'sexy' teenager aka Tina-O'Brien. However they haven't done it anywhere near to the same extent as EE have, add to that the 'dumbing down' of some storylines.

I don't think Juila Smith - bless her - would have been happy with this.

Fortunately (?) I saw most of the episodes out in Lanzarote. They receive something called BBC Prime, which shows each Eastenders episode two days after they are shown in Britain. I don't want to go over old ground, but I agree that the Pauline/Dot stuff was the best...which once again shows how much Eastenders has declined. Without the "older" actors like June Brown, Adam Woodyat, Pam St Clement and Wendy Richard it would be finished altogether.

Hiya Parkerman,, missed ya on the boards too,, also hate u for being out there sunning your buns while we freeze ours off LOL
I rue the day we loose our older actors in EE, its slowly being taken over by the so called younger set who can not act their way out of a hat..
JMHO ( just my honest opinion... not wanting to be busted for so called text talk or/and using abverations :rolleyes: ) !!!:ninja:

Xx-Vicky-xX

22-02-2006, 13:36

I totally agree with everything you have all said since my last post. I hardly recognise Eastenders anymore and although im only a teenager and havent been alive for as long as Eastenders has been running i have seen every episode becuase mum is a big Eastenders fan and used to tape all the episodes until she got annoyed with doing it so yeah ive seen every episode and Eastenders have basically ruined the show and made it unrecognisable within the space of 3 months at least maybe more.

Ian/Kathy/Martin deserved more of a storyline there lastnight than what they got Eastenders seem to have forgotton about some of the older characters and is more concearned that we get to know new families such as the Wicks'.

Martin was good lastnight and i agree he has had alot of experience and was doing what Mark would have done for Ian and what Mark had done for Martin in previous years.

Sonia was out of order okay yeah maybe Martin should have phoned her or something but she should have known that he would have been doing something important just like Dot and Jim said.

Richie_lecturer

22-02-2006, 13:39

I agree. Every time one of those four decides to leave, EE will move a step towards the end. The first I fear is June, who will be 80 this time next year. The other three have time on their side - Wendy and Pat are 62 and 63 respectively, while Adam is 37 - but even they could go if it gets worse. Adam said only last week in an interview that things got so bad this time last year that he was about to quit, and the boss convinced him to stay in the end.

They can't rely on many more names to return to boost the show's ratings because they've nearly killed them all off! :wall:

I will probably now only watch EE when these four are involved, and because these four have been involved a lot lately, once this Ian stuff dies down, I'll be switiching off at regular intervals.

Xx-Vicky-xX

22-02-2006, 13:49

I was going to mention that in my last post but i forgot so thanks for bringing it up. I absolutely agree i think one or more will leave pretty soon i think Adam will leave not becuase of age or anything as you said he is only young but i think he would leave becuase if fans who have been watching the show from early days like myself (even if it was from a tape) no longer recognise the show then how must the actors feel about what the show has become. If i was Adam id leave as soon as i can becuase lastnight should have centered around Ian and the people who were close to Kathy and the rest of the crap shuld have been either left out and saved for another day or just show little bits of it when the time is right instead it centered around Carly Kevin Nico and crew and Ian was the cut off when they felt he needed to make an appearence.

Richie_lecturer

22-02-2006, 13:53

Let's not forget, Pat was on the brink of being axed just over a year ago under a different producer. If that had happened, EE would be in huge trouble right now.

parkerman

22-02-2006, 13:55

I'm not surprised Ian thought of leaving if he knew that Wellard storyline was coming up! I think it fair to add that as well as the four I mentioned above, I do also like John Bardon and to, some extent, Rudolph Walker. (Old 'uns again, you see!) I used to like Natalie Cassidy but both her character and her acting seem to have gone down hill recently.

I shall definitely quit watching Eastenders however if they ever axe Winston. It was good to see him enjoying himself at Pauline's wedding....

Xx-Vicky-xX

22-02-2006, 13:59

I actually think Eastenders are in alot of trouble at the moment they are losing more and more fans the more people they axe or upset enough so the actors want to leave what they have to realise is fans want the older chacters they all know and love instead of being made to watching people they hardley know only i fear they wont realise this until its to late i mean you touched on it earlier Richie that if Pat Ian Dot or Pauline left you would stop watching i think that is pretty much what most people will do aswell so if they dont get their acts together and sort it out they are in danger of getting the show axed.

Do you know what: In the interview he gave last week, Adam says the show has been good since October. That means that he thinks the show has either been good since he was once again bullied by Phug Mitchell (:rolleyes: yawn), or during the Wellard storyline (:rolleyes: yawn again ). I don't understand his logic. :confused:

I think it fair to add that as well as the four I mentioned above. I do also like John Bardon and to, some extent, Rudolph Walker. (Old 'uns again, you see!) I used to like Natalie Cassidy but both her character and her acting seem to have gone down hill recently.
I agree I like Jim and Patrick as well, and until recently Yolande - but I think the writers have wrecked her character in recent weeks. I liked Sonia when she was in the Jackson clan, but since they've gone she's become of little interest to me. Since she had those new melons, it has made her character look even more ridiculous that it is already.

I shall definitely quit watching Eastenders however if they ever axe Winston. It was good to see him enjoying himself at Pauline's wedding....
Ha ha! Fortunately I can't see Winston or Tracy leaving any time soon.

As much as im totaly against Eastenders bringing in all these young new people i do like Preston and Chantelle and think it would be great to have them in my favourite show but i dont want them to do it becuase it just verges on ridiculous
Well all soaps need a younger element to them to sustain a healthy audience/demographic, otherwise they would flounder. However EE has gone so far up the tweenie route in recent years, it has worked to the detriment of the programme output. Even Corrie have done this to an extent, though not as bad.

I used to like Sonia aswell but now she is just annoying. I like Jim dont really like Patrick or Yolande she has become annoying aswell and nothing like she was when she first arrived.

I hope Tracy doesnt go Winston doesnt really make much difference becuase he is hardley there aint i never see him when he does make an appearence anyway so im too bothered about him.

Didn't he say that he'd started reading the rest of the episodes instead of just his own scenes? It could just mean that he's enjoying the other storylines again, even if his own aren't that good.

Good one Bradley!! ha ha ha. He's great at getting one over on people, I suppose that's what it means to be a good businessman. He's so sweet when he smiles as well. I love his character, fabulous! Him and Stacey would make an amazing double act.

I hope Martin and Sonia sort their marriage out, they are so great together.

Kim

23-02-2006, 21:47

A pretty rubbish episode by all accounts. I am still reeling from the fact that Keith Miller actually used a hairbrush! I am presuming that Keith is staying with Gus and Juley because he was annoyed by the amount of questions that Garry and Minty were asking regarding the state of his relationship, although he didn't really show it.

littlemo

23-02-2006, 22:53

Question: Why is Keith staying with Gus and Juley? Why wouldn't he stay with Garry and Minty like last time?

I'm not sure if Naomi was there last time he stayed, that might have had something to do with it. Or maybe he just doesn't want to impose on them to much. It's a shame about Keith and Rosie. I know he's a bit of a lay about but in my opinion he's miles better than Mike. The thing with the message was understandable, maybe not right but if you find your wife is cheating your bound to get a bit paranoid.

If she doesn't love him fair enough, make a clean break, but I would love them to get back together. Not for the kids sake, for them.

Still not likeing Carly Nico and Kevin, Stacey and Bradley bless them i absolutely love the pair of them. Bless Bradley for the whole bonus thing you have to love the boy really. I felt sorry for Stacey when Jim had a go at her specially when she looked so happy when she asked if he was in.

Not likeing that Bert guy seems a bit weird to me cant believe he like Yolande. Even though i dont like Carly i say good on her for chucking Nico out.

Feel really sorry for Stacey i want her to get a friend she needs Ruby back or she needs to be nice to Bradley he is a sweet lad and really likes her and if she was honest she really likes him to.

Too much Carly and Kevin again has anyone noticed that since they ave turned up Deano has hardly had anything to do. Good on Deano for saying Carly has had a lucky escape but im not pleased to hear Kevin is sticking around :(

Bit boring tonight really but im glad we got some stuff with Bradley and Stacey

Florijo

24-02-2006, 20:31

*EE stereotype alert* Do they have to make it so obvious that Bert is a northerner, its just so bluddy awful. :rolleyes:

I felt completly lost in this episode, a couple (new characters) I don't know or care about arguing, some strange dirty tramp bloke (new character) calling Bradley (recent new character) a southern ponce.

And oh my god! What the hell is Kevin talking about?!?!?! Is Kevin president of the London Appreciation Society or what? And them clapping at the end was awful. I have never cringed so much in my life.

I'm getting sick of Kevin already. What a let down, he is overacting and trying too hard. Don't like Carly much either, or Deano. I had such high hopes about the Wicks as well. :(

I agree about Carly Nico and Kevin being chaacter no one knows or een care about its way too soon to have the fight with Carly and Nico no one knows them and can feel sorry for either of them.

Didnt like Bert forone he was very annoying two he liked Yolande and three he called Bradley a southern ponse okay ive said that i dont like the new characters becuase i cant care for them enough and all that but Bradley is an exception to that he is so sweet and of course i liked Deano staright off but i do like Bradley and cant belive Bert said that

BlackKat

24-02-2006, 20:41

I hate it when they go on and on about a character planning to leave when everybody knows they'll be staying where they are. I remember the weeks of Shannis "When are we leaving," "Soon." "Have you changed your mind," "No, we'll go soon." And now we have Kevin going on and on about what he'll miss and where he's going and how much he's looking forward to it and *shock* he ends up not going!!!

I agree Florijo, that speech was cringe-worthy. I have a feeling the mute button is going to come in handy when it comes to Kevin Wicks.

Bert sort of made me smile, even if it was a horrible stereotype. I think I'd prefer it if he was just a guest character though -- there's too many new characters coming in at once.

I wish Bradley and Stacey would just get together, I hate it when they drag these things out. I'm still enjoying the storyline, but I can see myself getting bored if it goes on much longer.

In typical EE fashion they have throw the Wicks in at the deep end, they have been there five minutes and everybody seems to know them, drinks with them etc. Why can't EE introduce new characters more slowly so we can get used to them.

Bradley is my saving grace. The Bradley/Stacey thing is irritating cos it is dragging out and going round in circles but Bradley is great, especially when he is with Dot and Jim. He always seems so happy and he is always grinning. I notice him more because nobody else ever smiles or is happy in Walford so it makes a change to see someone reasonably happy.

24-02-2006, 21:46

I thought the thing with the £55 was a bit of a redux on the thing a few weeks ago with him being mugged and then winning a tenner, then getting his Thunderbirds card back. I agree it's nice to see someone positive and smiling, but I think they're in danger of overdoing it. Just keep him generally positive, not come home every episode having lost a tenner but found an emu or whatever.

Also - what are his working hours. He seems to spend hours hanging around the Square in the morning, then come home in the middle of the afternoon.

Loving Bradley and Stacey, you can tell how badly she's fallen for him now, can't you?! He seems to be effecting her in a big way. It was good to have a mention of her mum tonight, shows they haven't forgotten her family. She makes me really sad sometimes. I hope it won't be long until Bradley sees the real Stacey, she shouldn't shut him out.

I agree that the speech Kevin made was too much. It's ridiculous that everybody has taken to him in a matter of a week. I also find it very strange Pat is happy for him and his family to live with her. I don't know what Pat's marriage to Brian was like, were they together when he died? did he die? because it's a very weird turn of events. Especially since she's been married 3 times after Brian (I think). I do quite like the Wicks but it's all just a bit rushed.

Martin and Sonia got on alright tonight, although that bit where he was eating his food and she looked at him in disgust was horrible. It was like she was looking down on him. Still I do like them together, and I think Martin is a really great guy.

I don't know why Martin would have allowed Bert to stay. He doesn't even know him. Whose to say he's a friend of Joe's, only him. He could be anybody.

It was quite a nice episode, but not one I'm keen to watch again. You'll know them as I'm writing while it is on.

Yes it made me laugh the way he said it, but he's only been working there for a few weeks so it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, isn't it? Although the fact that Stacey should be round because Bradley has got £55 is a bit crazy. Stacey does work for a living, I'm sure she earns that in a day or so. And why Jim would have thought she had known about it is weird, I mean she's not a mind reader is she?

I disagree, Stacey is clearly an insecure person who doesn't feel as if she has had much love in her life (although it's obvious her mum loves her, but doesn't show it). She deserves happiness, and I think Bradley is the one to give it to her. And give her some of the love she craves.

I don't like Ruby's character, I don't think she's got anything about her. Stacey's oodles personality. I think Bradley could be bored if he went out with Ruby, but that would never happen with Stacey. She's something special. Bradley is too which is why I think they should be with each other.

26-02-2006, 15:51

I watched the Eastenders omnibus earlier because i missed most of this week and i must say i thought Kathy's death storyline was very badly done. Adam Woodyatt's acting was great but i just thought something was missing. It was just thrown in your face and that was it. There wasn't much of a climax to it and Jane just answered the phone and told Ian that Kathy was dead and i just thought was that it??! It may just be me but i thought Adam'a acting was good but the storyline was badly done and it was also a waste of a good character.

littlemo

26-02-2006, 17:47

And without one of them dying as well. :)

Yes, definetely I don't want either of them to die. I just think the way Sonia and Jamie were before they got together is very similar to the way Bradley and Stacey are. But in this case Bradley is the underdog rather than Sonia. They proved to everybody that they were mean't to be together, despite people's reservations and I hope Stacey and Bradley will do the same.

Jamie and Sonia also stayed friends through their many breaks ups, and if Stacey and Bradley were to be parted I hope they would too. It would be nice if they had that special kind of relationship, where friendship was just as important as romance.

Xx-Vicky-xX

27-02-2006, 08:32

I think they could quite easily become the new Sonia and Jamie because everyone thought that Jamie could have done better than Sonia like in terms of how she looked and Stacey could too there are plenty of lads who would like her but i think becuase both Sonia and Jamie and Stacey and Bradley go really well together it doesnt matter about looks and Bradley obviously likes Stacey and Stacey likes Bradley aswell she is just unable to say it to him.

As someone said above i hope they dont kill one of them id like to see them both around for a long time they are both great characters and there is so much they could do with them as a couple and as two seperate characters it will be interesting to see if Eastenders explores some of the things that they can do with them both instead of wasting the two characters like they have done in the past.

I may have already said this somewhere but...Honey's dad looks like William Shatner, and scarily so. He's also very strange.

And another new character is just what we need. Especially as the last three have been so wonderful. :rolleyes: Bert just annoyed me tonight. And why can't Joe just be a nice normal guy who likes salsa? Why does everyone have to have a big secret past. And why is Carly a completely boring psychopath? And why is Kevin still here? That said, I thought Jack was okay.

Enjoyed Stacey and Bradley tonight. Don't know what her big issue with his money is all about, but I think she's probably just using it as an excuse for telling him to get lost if you get me.

Now that you mention it he does :p

thought tonights episode was really boring (as usual) the only bits i liked were with Stacey and Bradley, theyre sweet bless them. although didnt mind the bits with Billy and Honeys dad, i was cringing was cringing when Billy was saying all that stuff to him, her dad should have told him who he was from the start lol. bless.

Billys face was priceless when Jack tells him that he is HER DAD.. loved the funny stuff between Honey and Peggy,, and Honey saying she wasnt short but DINKY:rotfl:

I agree with you BK why couldn't Joe be a normal guy,, this Bert is sinister now..If Martin had half the brain he would have called the cops on Bert the moment he found him helping himself to Paulines house:wall:

This promises to be an interesting week !!!
