Current Episode Discussion VI

[StarsOfCCTV]

Tonight's episode was the best in ages :rotfl: Dawn was so funny, Carly was getting into that singing by the end of the song, with all the actions, what a random choice :rotfl:

Also loved the bit with Rob and Genghis :rotfl:

[Jessie Wallace]

Dawn has had me in stitches tonight!

poeple are looking up my twinkle :rotfl: farted on the train :rotfl:

getting carly to sing :rotfl:

I with you on that one, it's was so funny, i needed something to make me laugh tonight and that was it. Excellent :D

[DaVeyWaVey]

Another great episode of Eastenders tonight! Kara Tointon acted out her labour scenes brilliantly, and her slapping Carly was hilarious! Carly was very funny singing! :rotfl:

The gravy on Rob was really funny too! :rotfl:

Can't wait for tomorrow's episode, May looked evil at the end!

[Jessie Wallace]

I wish i'd recorded it now, i'll have to try and remember to on Sunday

Another new low set by EE tonight.

What is it with EE and scenes on the Underground? We had the awful stuff with Billy and the homeless guy for 9/11, and now we had probably the worst scene ever tonight.

Dawn's waters break on the Tube train. One's first reaction would be to keep her company, calm her down and pull the emergency cord to stop the train at the next stop so she can be escorted from the train or treated by paramedics at the scene. What did we have on EE? Some young adults taking the pee out of her, pointing at her saying she's wet herself. And while Dawn is in agony, some woman tries to tell her about an Oyster card or ticket pass. I mean, how stupid do the writers think we are? That must be some of the most unrealistic pieces of dialogue I have ever heard. Hard to believe this was Sarah Phelps' work. It was more like the work of a nine year old. I can't believe any of the actors or scriptwriters kept a straight face when they checked the script.

I didn't see the second half as I had to go out.

It's moments like the Tube train which convince me that EE is never going to improve, well IMO of course. :) Of course others may be disagree on my episode review, which is no problem, I like hearing all sorts of different opinions, and the forum wouldn't be the same without them.

[parkerman]

Well, for once, I can mostly agree with everyone this time. I agree with richie about the scene on the tube train. Very poor. However, I have to say that, in spite of my previous remarks about Eastenders humour, I did find the scene with Carly singing very funny.

Didn't think much of the gravy though.

[Siobhan]

Richie.. the train was already stopped and the guy went to the driver and got an ambulance waiting at the next stop for Dawn. She was in no immediate danger to have "treatment" as you called in at the next station

I will assume you have never been in Labour but trust me, people say the most stupid of things to you when you are in Labour (general public I am talking about" cause they don't know how to react to a woman in pain or labour so they babble about the first thing that comes into their head.

I really enjoyed Dawn's labour last night.. it was very realistic.. you will get people to do anything to distract you from the pain and then shout at them for doing it.. Fantastic acting for Kara (gas and air scene fantastic! I have been there). I am not a great Dawn fan, but I liked her last night

Richie in not liking an episode of EE shocker. In other news the Pope announces his religious tendances... ;) Probably best to watch the whole episode before criticising.

I really enjoyed last nights episode, I think they went as far as they dare for early evening TV, showing the cord, bodily (mal)functions, after all this wasn't an episode of Bodies was it!

I could have done without Carly singing but we can't have everything! :)

[Richie_lecturer]

Sorry, I must have missed that bit as I got my things together.

Well I do know about labour almost as much as my wife who went into labour just over a year ago (she is no longer in labour I should add :) ). :) I didn't expect people on the train to instantly take in the news, or to rush to her aid. But the reactions of people going 'ooohh she's wet herself' was totally ridiculous. The first thing people would do (and I've been in a carriage years ago when someone's waters broke) is to reassure her, even if there was nothing they could do.

Well as I say, I enjoyed a fair amount of last week's stuff with Dot (of what I saw), but this week, it didn't work for me. Of course I didn't watch the whole episode (although I think I mentioned that in my post so to show it wasn't any old rant) but the bits I saw were standout (the Tube scene). I didn't even see Carly singing and dancing - my review could have been even more scathing!

[Siobhan]

I loved the end of friday's episode "Put the baby down!!".. cant' wait for tonight... It was fantastic week in EE

[JustJodi]

I loved the end of friday's episode "Put the baby down!!".. cant' wait for tonight... It was fantastic week in EE


May is just digging herself into a deeper hole,, She is using Dr May Wright to get herself into seeing Dawn.. too bad the nurse at the desk didn't say WAIT HERE and let me see if Ms Swann wants visitors,, ah well and yea whoooooo PUT THE BABY DOWN ( I can only imagine how her voice sounded )
Bring on tonights episode,, whoo hooo

[Lizzie Brookes]

I am so sorry for May. I don't think she would have harmed the baby either way. She was just ill. I don't think I would have called the police, i would have realised this woman is not in control of her actions and puitied her. I still like May though despite everything - I agree she treated Dawn appallingly but it was horrible of Dawn to trick her into staying there and getting arrested. I think she would have left aftergiving Dawn the baby clothes. From the sound of it she promised toleave. She's right about one thing though. If she had left that idiot of a husband of hers, none of this would have happened.

[Richie_lecturer]

thought Friday's was OK in parts with Pat and Shirley involved. Tonight wasn't too bad, although May's exit was rather disappointing.

The only highlights of the episode, but notable highlights, were Dr May Wright, and in particular, Stella Crawford. Excellent acting from Sophie Thompson. "Watch out for pins" "You too". :)

The rest wasn't too bad, although Mickey the hero and that rubber ring was cringeworthy, along with his 'serious' act.

Didn't buy all of May's easy access to the wards, nor why Dawn had no panic alarm, nor how May's charges were valid and could stick.

Better than most of last week's absolute tripe though.

[StarsOfCCTV]

I think that Dawn did the right thing, after all, May would've been arrested anyway.

Good on Dawn for punching Rob! At last she's seen through him!

What was Stella doing at the end?! That woman gets madder and madder every day! Although, I would've thought Peggy might have heard her! :p

[parkerman]

Have I missed something with Stella and Ben? I thought that she kept him off school for the day and bought him football boots so he could go on this football camp thing. She normally wants him out of the way so she can spend time with Phil. So how come she was so upset when he went football training? And why is she so upset that Ben won't speak to her; it doesn't normally worry her.

[Lizzie Brookes]

I think Stella does feel something for Ben despite her cruel treatment of him. She was bulied by Olive and Ben refused to speak to her, she is a woman who needs help just like May Wright.

[Pinkbanana]

Wow....loving Stella at the moment, there's definitely more to her than meets the eye. Im actually starting to feel sorry for her....:eek: The woman has some serious issues going on!

Does anyone know when Mad Max is due back? I can see that EE are setting Stacey and Bradders up for one mighty fall (a bit like someone else soon lol) sometime in the future. Just hoping that Stacey kicks Max to the curb when he comes back (couldn't stomach anymore scenes with them two in the Vic's ladies :sick: ).

Also liked the scene with Pat and Shirles tonight...

Overall I really enjoyed tonight's episode..:thumbsup:

[JustJodi]

Whahooo what a superb episode...
Loved everything :-D
Loved it when Dawn slugged slime ball Rob,, for a moment there I was afraid she was gonna accept his proposal,, Whew !!!!! Loved it when keith dragged him by the scruff of the neck and kicked him to the curb :cheer:

Loved the short sparring match between Pat and Shirl..

Does any one know who played the part of OLIVA ?? ( the one who was doing the wedding dress ) She has a real mouth on her and holds nothing back ..Stella was a bit OTT when she was doing the pretend phone call with Ben.
Stacey and Bradley,,,,,,,,,, I think they destroyed those characters when they worked in that abortion.. and had Stacey and Bradleys old man playing horizonal mambo,,:sick: . I do not see Stacey and Bradley ever getting back the way they USED TO,, too much "water"has passed under the bridge.
Wrinkle Butt Branning is due back end of this week ??? :searchme:
I give tonights episode a 7

[Joanne]

Where had Peggy gone when Stella started headbutting the wall. If she was still upstairs she couldn't have failed to have heard it, Stella was hitting that wall pretty hard! I actually felt sorry for her tonight - her dress was frightfully over the top though!

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Good episode lastnight, glad Dawn smacked Rob and then got May arrested they got exactly what was coming to them.

Stella is officially nuts, if she wasnt already she certainly is now, i dont exactly understand why she was bothered about Ben hanging up on her though she has never shown any love towards the boy since she has been there so what that was about i dont know.

Dont know about anyone else but in my opinion i think now that Keith and Mickey actually have something to do it seems like they have a reason for being there instead of just using them to fill a few gaps here and there.

[Siobhan]

What an amazing episode!! and how fantastic is that actress playing Stella?? she actually had me feeling so sorry for her last night. Even after everthing she did to Ben I couldn't help but feel like punching Olive for the stuff she said and that bit where stella banging her head of the wall, I felt so sorry for the woman...

Dawn whopping Rob one!!! Classic.. I was so happy she did that and May playing it so cool at the end when the police got her.. amazing

Shirley and Pat's little banter, brill and even Dot going to the cinema with jim was funny :rotfl::rotfl:

Bradley and Stacey let it down a touch but over all FANTASTIC :bow::bow:

[Pinkbanana]

Oh another great episode!!! I am really enjoying Enders this week...sooo may it continue! :cheer:

Loved it all, especially the punch up at the party! :lol:

[*-Rooney-*]

oh im looking forward to the truth comig out about what really happened to stellas sister when stella was 10 and the real reason she died

[JustJodi]

Ok I am rating tonights episode a 3...What the heLL is wrong with Max???:nono: He has a wife and 2 kids and a half and two guneia pigs and a nice home and nice wheels, and a good job ( we think )what the heck does he want with Stacey.
Ooooooohhhhhhhh Stacey was so close giving in to temptation !! I am glad she didn't:cool:
Poor Bradley is so HAPPY HAPPY about the engagement,, sadly it is one sided it seems, what a mess:rolleyes:

[alan45]

Aw come Jodi surely you should know.:p

They cant both have a 'headache at the same time:rotfl:

[Joy2286]

I loved Friday night's episode- really glad to see Max not getting his own way for once!:thumbsup:

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Just caught the omnibus and watched Friday's epi. Tbh, I hated it because of the whole Max and Stacey thing all over again. Yes, I'm happy for Stacey and Bradley (mainly) but I doubt it's real. Hmm can I really be bothered to watch it tomorrow... maybe lol!

[Debs]

I love that max is back! Stacey and bradley bore the hell out of me but i really love max and stacey together!

[Kim]

I've actually started caring about Max and Stacey again. Max usually annoys me, but I like what has happened since he's been back so far.

Loved them all pretending that the Vic looked really different, and that they liked it. The only things were the glass in the door, the wallpaper and the seats.

:cool: :cool:dohhhhhhhh :p remember there are kiddies on this site I didn't wanna mention the horizonal mambo was all he could get from Stacey :rolleyes: :lol:

[JustJodi]

I loved Friday night's episode- really glad to see Max not getting his own way for once!:thumbsup:


yep i loved it too when Stacey told him to go and she shut the door behind him... ooooh that was good :thumbsup: But I am glad she did not succumb to temptation when he was doing that heavy breathing and laying on the bull poop a foot thick .. :lol:

[Chris_2k11]

Is it me or has eastenders shown a big improvement over the past couple of weeks? im really enjoying every episode at the moment. There seems to be a lot more going on in each ep and i actually look forward to watching it now. I especially liked tonights episode, I can't say there was one scene that bored me at all. I've also noticed a bit of comedy lately too.

I really hope it can continue on the up from now on.

I do agree that its improved of late.

However, I really cant stand the Max and Stacey thing going on at the moment, Max is sooooo vile. Just watching him tonight really made me feel sick...:sick: Apart from that, loving it! :lol:

[Kim]

I loved it tonight, until Stax came on screen. The homework seemed quite an interesting prospect. :rolleyes:

A sheep for Phil's hen night. They should have got a few skunks, or something.

Liking the half empty Vic stuff. Dawn's speech was really good, saying that Carly doesn't know where Sean's been.

I'm putting the improvement down to Stacey largely, it seems more interesting when Sean is getting at her.

[CrazyLea]

Yeah it has been not too bad lately. I like the Sean and Carly stuff. And I'm liking what we're seeing with Stella. She's weird lol. And I'm in the minority, but Max and Stacey together are growing on me - would rather Bradley and Stacey though of course..

[LostVoodoo]

god stella and shirley were good tonight, shirley knows there's something up. how exciting.

[Katy]

Shirleys brilliant, she just looks evil. Stell a is completley odd. Dread to think what Minty and Billy are up to with that sheep. Max is so fowl, he should go back to his wife, the horible man. Jean knows somethings up there you can tell. I loved theway she described Tanya, what you see is what you get. Bless her. Sean and Carly is just eww.

[Richie_lecturer]

A sheep for Phil's hen night.

Maybe Billy was going to use it for a Ram raid....

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

And there i was thinking EE couldn't do comedy anymore - Stella's karaoke was classic - very entertaining :cheer:

[parkerman]

Yes, I have to say, as someone who has been very critical of EE humour in the past, I did think the karaoke was good. Shirley is a great character and Linda Henry an excellent actor. Heather (Cheryl Fergison) is good too. I hope she becomes a regular.:thumbsup:

[JustJodi]

I have a feeling that there is a few story lines in the making.. 1- Sean not going to the clinic for STD tests
2- Heather( how did she latch on to Shirley in the first place and how did they become friends )

Whoaaaaaaaaaaa did we just see the end of Li last night ?? If so :cheer: :cheer: , I am sure Mickey will feel bad for a while, but he will get over it ( at least he "got some"for a while :rotfl: )
I really thought Stacey ripped into Max quite nicely for slating her mom, now lets see Max wiggle out of that one with Tanya ( I am sure he will LIEEEEE like he always does when he is trapped in a corner ):rolleyes:
Anyway I give last nights episode a 6:)

[Katy]

That was brilliant, when Stacey laid into Max, it was about time, he is a right little weasle. I can't stand him at the moment. PoorDot as well making her do his dirty work for him. It was a very entertaining epside i have to say ll the girls at the hen night it was pretty obvious that none of them really liked Stella especially the Karaoke, it was class. I am loving the friednship between Tanya and Jane as well, we havent really seen that before.

The sheep was brilliant too, Peggys afce when it was lose in her pub was class. Heather and Shirley are great as well.
Sean is bound to have something now after not going to the clinic.

[Kim]

2- Heather( how did she latch on to Shirley in the first place and how did they become friends )

The pair were friends before Shirley got to Walford. She rang Heather when she had the party, and then had her lending her the money to pay Mo for the vodka.

[Chris_2k11]

Stella singing barbie girl was hilarious :rotfl: although i did feel a bit sorry for her aswell. really enjoying eastenders at the moment

[Bryan]

I thought Eastenders would get **** after Rob and May left, but it's still going good.

I like most of the cast now, and the upcoming storylines sound promising. Good times ahead hopefully.

[DaVeyWaVey]

I really enjoyed tonight's episode. I liked how Deano tried to stand up to Sean and it'll be very interesting what him and Chelsea plan to cook up to get revenge on him...

Bradley/Stacey stuff was good. I found it funny when Bradley bought condoms in the Minute Mart. :D

I'm glad Mickey is finally standing up to Li, and i hope him and Preeti get together at some point.

[CrazyLea]

I really don't like either Chelsea or Deano, so that's going to be a little boring for me probably. I like Sean, even if he is a bit of a worm. I don't want Carly to get hurt though, as I like her :p.

Bradley made me laugh, bless him :p :wub:. Glad to see them to getting on great agian :). You can just tell it's all going to go down hill though. :(

Wellard stuff = boring *yawns*. Hopefully that was the end of Li tonight :D.

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I love episodes like lastnight there were alot of characters used in the episode and for very short times each which gave it more variation (sp) its episodes like the one where Max came back and all it was showing was him chasing Stacey a bit of Tanya and Max and some of the rest of the family like Abi/Lauren/Bradley/Jim that was kind of boring but no lastnight was good :D

I didn't like Shirley much at firt but she has turned out to be a really good character. What is with Stella keep pinching herself, she needs help, im looking foward to finding out what she did to her sister, and more to the point im looking foward to Phil finding out.

Not liking this thing with Deano/Chelsea planning to sort out Sean, admittedly i didn't used to like Sean much but he is entertaining when he is cocky.

Anyone have a feeling Li has Wellard?

[parkerman]

Just when you think Eastenders might be getting a bit better, along comes Deano...:wall:

[DaVeyWaVey]

Anyone have a feeling Li has Wellard?

Yes i was thinking this last night when watching the episode. If it is her who dognapped him, it was very predictable. :thumbsdow

I quite like how Deano is trying to look out for his sister though...i have a feeling though that Chelsea and Deano's plan to sort out Sean will just fall flat on its face and Sean will end up humiliating both of them, just a feeling I have.

[DaVeyWaVey]

A good episode tonight.

As i predicted, Chelsea and Deano's plan to humiliate Sean fell flat on its face. Chelsea's comment about Sean's mum was totally out of order.

The card game was really funny especially when Shirley came in and her and Pat started fighting lol!

Wellard stuff was a bit boring..but i really hope Preeti and Mickey get together - it's clear that Preeti really likes him!

The Stella stuff was fantastic as always.

Oh and the Max stuff was really good too. I laughed at that woman saying she prefferred men with hair lol!

[CrazyLea]

I thought the Stella stuff was good. Each week she continues to trick me lol. I thought she was actually turning a new leaf, but it was all an act 'cause she knew Phill would be listening. Good stuff.

Wellard stuff.. way too boring. Preeti is too obviously desperate, can't belive Mickey can't notice. Not that keen on Preeti, she bores me. Still hope for her maybe.

Card game was boring. Can't stand Bert. Thought the bit where Shirley came in was silly and pointless.

I kinda liked the Sean stuff.. I'm just really liking Sean at the moment, so most of his scenes I actually enjoy. I thought the Chelsea/Deano revenge thing was gonna last a little longer, so even more disappointed in that than I thought I would be.

.. overall I give it about a 3 lol. Not too good at all. And I did enjoy this week to start.

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I can just about stick Stella because i know it won't be for long and to be honest i will be glad to see her go, i know she is a good actress and in some respect a good character too (all the phsyco ones are - remember Trevor) but they all have to get their come uppance and torturing a child means she should get hers as soon as possible

[DaVeyWaVey]

A good episode tonight. I really like Tanya - i think she is fantastic in her motherly role and it's just so realistic.

I'm glad Abi and Ben made up and i enjoyed their scenes together especially Ben telling Abi about Stella. The post office scenes were very enjoyable and i liked how Denise mocked that new character and she overheard!

The Wellard stuff - i wasn't too interested in. Marco is an ok character as well.

[CrazyLea]

Awww bless Abi. I don't like Ben, but I did like the scenes between him and Abi today. How he thinks it's supposed to happen, it's sad :(. Bless Lauren too :p.

They were the only bits I liked tonight really... that and Stella.

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

I felt really sad for Ben and Abi! They really think what goes on with Ben happens to Abi don't they... Great mother-daughter stuff with Tanya and Lauren too. Good episode, nothing wow though lol.

[StarsOfCCTV]

Abi's really got the wrong end of the stick :lol: Was cute though how Ben told Abi about Stella, at least he has a friend to support him :)

The Wellard thing is a bit :rolleyes: but it made me laugh when Gus went "a games console now what does that tell you?" and Mickey said "That he has no life?" :D

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

After the scenes with Abi & Ben lastnight im looking foward to friday even more, but then i suppose it was Phil that told Ben this is meant to happen because he thought it was something different to what Ben was actually trying to tell him :rolleyes: but i can't wait till Phil knows what has really been going on.

I think lastnight if i didn't know what is coming by the end of the week i would have guessed because there was so much of Ben/Phil/Peggy/Stella which is obviously part of the build up.

Quite a good episode, ive seen better but then i have seen alot worse aswell, i'm still thinking Li has Wellard, she does have a motiv but then maybe that is just to obvious and they ae just trying to make us think its her.

Here is a question, i thought about it the other night but Dave reminded me lastnight when he showed me an interview, if Stella is a lawer how does she find so much time to torture Ben? i mean a lawer is a pretty important job and we never hear her mention work, when Ben was on that football camp thing all she mentioned was Ben did i miss something?

[Siobhan]

I really enjoyed the scenes with Ben and Abi last night.. Ben thinking all this was ok cause his Dad said is was but Phil was talking about the facts of life. Abi then thinking Tanya is hurting Lauren.. ah bless!!!

Stella is a nut job and I am enjoying Marco..

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I am enjoying Marco..

What is the point of him, he just sort of appeared and stuck around for as yet seemingly no reason at all.

[Siobhan]

I am enjoying Marco..

What is the point of him, he just sort of appeared and stuck around for as yet seemingly no reason at all.

I bet he has a gay relationship with someone we don't know is gay yet or Chelsea can make a fool of herself chatting him up

Oh you could be right about Chelsea she does seem to chase blokes a bit to much :rolleyes:

Well maybe she doesn't has many clients. Well who want's to hire her anyway. Oh yeah Phill did.:hmm:

Phil didn't hire her.. Richie sent her to him cause she is a property lawyer and he was setting up the video shop for Ben. She is always talking about doing work and she does most of her torture at night.. Lawyers don't work 24/7..

So i was right then i did miss something, i don't remember the last time she mentioned work, she always seems to be in the pub or out shopping or something but im sure you pay more attenton than i do to what she says.

[Katy]

I actually enjoyed it last night to, it was a good episode, the scenes with the Brannings were really good, i like them as a family, well apart from Max, but he wasnt in it much last night. Ben and Abi were so cute, shes quite a good little actress, i like it when she said "Not if i have anything to do with it" Patrick made me laugh with Yolande coming him as well.

[parkerman]

Stella's not the only one who doesn't do any work. Bradley always seems to be around the Square when he's supposed to working in the City. Max is always around during the day as well.

It's a well known fact in Walford that middle class people don't really work. It's only the working class who graft.:)

Yeah i agree about Bradley and Max but least there have been a few times we have seen Bradley at work, what does Max even do? :searchme:

insurance sale man.. remember he was selling a policy to Carly and tanya thought they were having an affair

Oh yeah i remember that, but Shiv i think you pay way to much attention to stuff like that :rotfl:

[Katy]

i'd never remember something like that, i didnt know what he did either. A Lot of the working people carry briefcases round the square. I'd love to have a job like that.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Fantastic episode tonight. The Stella/Ben scenes were quite powerful and Stella just gets worse by the episode. The scene where she stamped on Kathy's photo and told Ben to swear on Phil's life was very very harsh! I must say Charlie Jones aka Ben impressed me a little bit tonight, but the actress who plays Stella, Sophie Thompson is in a different league - i actually felt pure hate for her character - brilliant!

[emjay]

Hi not sure if this is the right place to post, but does anyone know the name of the girl who played the police woman in tonights episode and what soap she was in before?

[Kim]

I'll have another look on Sunday. Thinking about it now, I'm sure I would recognise her if I was thinking about it. There's a cast appearence thread for appearences like this, but as it was the current episode, I'm sure it will be fine in here. Welcome to SB.

I think they have a really good stuff going with Stella and Ben, and also Jay, showing how teens can react if they don't have the attention from parents or family, as he doesn't from Bert. I really didn't want it to end tonight. I hated her, as well, Dave. With everything she's gone through with Katherine and her parents, and she's still willing to try to take away Ben's dad and destroy a photo of his Mum.

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I hate Stella even more now - roll on friday im just about sticking her cos i know there isnt long left she was very horrible tonight but i suppose it shows her character is working well and doing what she is supposed to do :rolleyes:

Do me a favour and get this Wellard thing over with :rolleyes: it is taking up valuable build up to friday time (i might hate her but least it is interesting)

Im liking Shirley, good on her for sticking up for Yolande :cheer:

Poor Abi, she is right Ben has to tell someone because it isnt right but Ben just tells her to go away (but we know who is to blame for that :rolleyes: ) i just hope when he does decide enough is enough that Abi will still want to be friends with him after that, they are really sweet together - possible relationship thing in a few years maybe?

Over all good episode, if i hate Stella it must have been good because it means the writing is good :cheer: though i hope they don't let us down on friday

[CrazyLea]

if i hate Stella it must have been good because it means the writing is good

Nah, means Sophie is a good actress.. not that the writing to it is bad, but if you really hate Stella, show's that she can act. ;).

Talking of Sophie *Bree's thinking not again :lol:*... did you know she's Emma Thompsons sister :eek: I had no idea til I read The Saturday Mag free with the Saturday Express.... I was like :eek: didn't see that one coming... random info there :p

Yeah that awell. Who is Emma Thompson :searchme:

[Siobhan]

Yeah that awell. Who is Emma Thompson :searchme:

she is a really big english actress..
see here for her work: http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/artists/t/Emma-Thompson/index-325991.html

she was brilliant in love actually
Anyway back to EE.. Stella is getting freakier!!! I am glad Abi knows that that is should not be happening and Tanya should have pushed her to find out where she was getting this from.. had to laugh when Tanya was explaining what is happening to Lauren and Abi asked if she was pregnant.
Wonder how EE are going to handle the racist remark by Jay..

Oh i hate that film :lol:

Yeah any mother would want to know and i think Abi should have told Max what Stella is doing when he went down the vets to pick her up yelling at her.

And like her sister she is a very good actress. I hope she wins an award for her part as it's the only thing that makes me occasionally tune in again. In a way it's a shame the character of Stella has been taken down this route. However the chances of keeping talent like Sophie Thompson would have been tough.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Fantastic episode tonight. The Ben/Stella scenes were absolutely superb and certainly lived up to my expectations. Stella really did show her true colours when threatening to kill Ben and Sophie Thompson, in particular was absolutely outstanding acting out Stella in tonight's episode.

Abi is really sweet too and is a wonderful child actress - her scenes with Ben were really sweet and quite emotional in a way as she urged him to say something. Charlie Jones who played Ben impressed me a little bit tonight, especially the ending when he asked for people to help him! It was a wonderful cliffhanger tonight, and i can't wait for tomorrow's episode - it is going to be unmissable!

Aunt Sal comes across as being a bit of a bitch and quite feisty and liking the look of the new character Jas. It was good how Bert tried to get Jay to apologise to Patrick and Yolande, i'm liking how this racism storyline is being handled.

The Denise/Kevin scenes were good and Gus/Wellard stuff was a bit boring as usual but it didn't bring the episode down for me at all, as the Stella/Ben stuff was the main focal point.

[JustJodi]

I have no words to describe the scenes between Ben and Stella,, I have to say that the acting of Sophie thompson just blew me away,, I do hope the lil kid that plays Ben does not need therapy after all this is over with.. some times actors/actresses get so involved in their role they have to really go thru a reality check,,Wow !!!!!

[Lizzie Brookes]

I'm sure the actors were careful. There is certainly health and safety involved in Drama.

Brilliant epiisode tyesterday - can't wait for tonight. Bit sad that the storyline uis ending but Stella certainly deserves her comeuppance far more than May did. I was sorry for May but I certainly can't pity Stella.

[Siobhan]

man what a brilliant actress Sophie thompson is!! she has me hating her one minute and feeling sorry for her the next.. how can one character bring that much hate and sorrow out in you!! Loved the pretty in pink reference (anyone who knows this movie will understand what she was on about) and then Aunt Sal been nasty to her. but the scene where she digs her nails into ben.. I was hoping something would fall on her head.

Loved the bit with Abi and the "rock of courage", if it doesn't work, just throw it at her head. It was nice the reference to school "this is abuse, we were taught about this at school".

EE did the racist issue much just especially when Yolande and Patrick was talking and he said he gets it every day.. making Jay apologise to her was a good start.. Well done EE

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Fab episode lastnight, good ending, i didnt want it to end, cant wait for tonight it is going to be fantastic :cheer: good on Ben for standing up and asking for help. How cute was the scenes with Abi & Ben, i love them two

[Siobhan]

Jodi.. I read a interview with Sophie Thompson and she said that Charlie (the kid who plays ben) wants to work with her again but on a comedy or something. She said she was terrified that it would cause some damage but Charlie was brilliant through it all and he doesn't have any emotional damage.. She said she loved the part she played and Charlie actually wanted her character to be caught out, find out about her past and get her help. She said she would have liked to stick around more too..

[Katy]

I thought it was a really good episode as well, even my mum thought so and shes not watched in ages properly. I thought Abi is a really good little actress she will b good in the future, i liked when she was locked in the cellar and he bought her some crisps down.
Some of the writing is quite disturbing though when they said you can't tell as there is a black car waiting for you outside, i was like how evil is that.
My other favourite part was the stone that would make Ben brave that Abi gave him and you could see him cling to it nd then he decided to speak up. I twas a great ending can't wait for tonights

"I need someone to help me......"

[Siobhan]

I think the most distrubing bit was at the hotel when she said she would kill Ben.. she was really really evil.. pure hate in her eye.. I can see her talking her way out of this.. hahaha.. probably say it is all Ian's fault

[Katy]

well yeah everythings Ians fault.

That just reminded me of my other favourite bit last night. The part in the cafe when they were talking about Ian and Phil and Minty said betweent the two of you you have had 8 weddings then Billy said thats twelve if you add my four.

That made me giggle.

[Siobhan]

For anyone wonder about the wedding for Phil and Ian (like i was), here they are

Phil:
1) married woman so she could get a green card
2) Kathy
3) Kate (I think so.. I am sure her never married sharon)
and this one

Ian
1) Cindy
2) Mel
3) Laura
4) Jane

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

For anyone wonder about the wedding for Phil and Ian (like i was), here they are

Phil:
1) married woman so she could get a green card


Yep Nadia i think her name was wasn't it?

[Chris_2k11]

3) Kate (I think so.. I am sure her never married sharon)Yes when Lisa returned and caught the bouquet "lucky me" :cool:

[CrazyLea]

Wow, I thought that was really good! All thanks to Sophie IMO. That last line was really chilling! "Watch me Daddy", you can tell Stella had childhood problems from that line alone.. jealousy issues moreso than anything by the sounds of it. Did she jump or get pushed??

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

IMO lastnight was much better, they built it up to tonight then killed it - quite dissapointing

[CrazyLea]

I didn't see last nights, so I can't really compare them :(

[Johnny Allen]

tonights and last nights were really good. Sophie Thompson was brilliant. And Jay's dad's could be very promising.

[StarsOfCCTV]

Tonights episode was brill! I think Stella killed herself, because of when she said "watch me daddy", but then Phil was staring at his hands...:hmm:

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

I didn't like the ending... I think it was too OTT when Phil was staring at his hands.. I think it would be better if it just looked like she jumped off... and surely there would have been the thud and then the picture of Ben float away as the picture is alot lighter than Stella?!

So what exactly happened to Stella's sister? It wasn't clear to me IMO... x

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

So what exactly happened to Stella's sister? It wasn't clear to me IMO... x

No one knows and we aint going to find out either :rolleyes:

[Kim]

I was wondering that, and annoying my mum asking her what happened, even though she only watches it on a Thursday, generally. I bet she thought, "Get back on the soapboard and stop annoying me." The only other let down I thought was the very beginning, and I wasn't expecting Phil to carry Ben out like that, but for Ben to be asking him to go outside.

I couldn't believe that they had Stella telling Phil exactly where she was and approaching him on that roof when she knew that he wanted revenge, without letting us know what actually happened in Stella's childhood, apart from her parents rejecting her.

[Katy]

I thought they were both really good, last night wasnt a disapointment at all. I thought when Phil drove through the gates to get at her andshe dropped the picture. It was funny the scenes in the pub when she made out Phil had hurt her and Ian let her escape, classic.

Speding off in the wedding car made me giggle as well.

[Chris_2k11]

Very good episode, could have done without the Jay scenes though. My theory is she went to jump and he tried to grab her to save her but couldn't! also loved the way she was layed on the car! :rotfl:

[Kim]

I think Stealla threw the picture down when she decided to jump, because it really did surprise me that she wanted Ben's half and not Phil's, so it must of been that she wanted it as some kind of trophy. So I think she threw it as she wanted to take it with her. My theory of why Phil's hands were as they were is that he always does that when he feels guilty about something - he felt guilty about Dennis before he had that Macbeth type dream, and if Stella jumped, would have felt guilty about that.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Good episode tonight. The aftermath of the wedding was handled really well in my opinion. I liked how the community rallied together and were all wanting to know what happened. I thought Ian had a right to know what was going on seeing as he's Ben's brother so i didn't appreciate when Peggy and Phil weren't telling him what was going on! I cringed though when Ian said what a great woman Stella was and how she was too good for Phil!

I liked Abi and Ben's scenes together and I thought Phil blaming Tanya for the whole Stella debacle was right out of order but i suppose Phil wanted someone to blame for what had happened. As soon as Tanya said that line though, "it's you that is responsible" i think that tipped Phil over the edge causing him to want him to punish himself for what Stella did to his son, prompting him to confess to police that he pushed Stella.

Bradley/Stacey scenes were good and i enjoyed seeing a glimpse of Lucy slowly turning into a teenage tearaway. It was sad to see Bert go. I grown to like him in the end!

[Joanne]

Stacey is just so miserable at the moment - I can't stand her. Surely Bradley can't be that stupid that he can't notice that something is seriously wrong in their relationship.

[Siobhan]

What 2 fantastic episodes they were.. I just knew she would blame Ian and then to tell Ian it is phil.. She was seriously loopy.. Loved the scene last night with Ben and Abi

What it up with Stacey.. she is a moody old cow. does she even want bradley or is this to get back at Max???

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I loved lastnights episode, though i could kill Phil for confessing though that was probably Tanya's fault :rolleyes:

Good episode, Ian being a big kid and drawing on the balloon then popping it :rotfl: i hope he stops defending Stella now though.

[Bryan]

Great episode, Eastenders back it is old self imo, home they can maintain this, with the Mitchell Sisters coming I think they could just well do that.

Great mix of storylines, comedy and drama. In a way it's sad to see Burt leave, but I think Jase will become an intresting character.

Loved Aunt Sal's scenes, and the scenes set downstairs in the Vic, a cliffhanger fit for the hall of fame :thumbsup: :clap:

[tammyy2j]

Great Episode last night. I hope everyone finds out soon about Stella especially Ian :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

I was actually dissapointed to find out Phil did actually push her off and then he confessed to it.. it just dosen't seem like him? I see he could have been punishing himself for it but I just prefer if it would have been left as Stella jumped of the top herself, she was pretty looney after all..

[Chris_2k11]

Great episode, Eastenders back it is old self imo, home they can maintain this, with the Mitchell Sisters coming I think they could just well do that.Im not sure about that Bry, its certainly getting better but I doubt the show will ever feel like the glory days again.

[Johnny Allen]

Great episode tonight, loved the arrival of the Mitchell sisters look like they could be a whole lot of fun and alot of trouble too. Typical Ian as always.

[Bryan]

Another great episode, the Mitchells are back where they belong - hogging the best storylines :D Loving Ronnie and Roxy already, I can see them being a lot of fun.

Gutted that Aunt Sal has left though, she's a legend :D

[Siobhan]

Welcome Roxy and Ronnie.. great additions. I love Sam Janus, she is a brilliant actress and would be great for EE.. She said in an interview that her first few scenes where bad cause she was so nervous but she does get better.. Well if last night was bad acting from her, Bring on the rest :cheer::cheer:

So glad Phil didn't push her.. I think he just confessed cause he felt guilty. and so Glad Ian finally found out the truth.. Phil completely annoyed me the way he blamed everyone but himself.. Poor Peggy got the worst of it

[tammyy2j]

I liked the Mitchell sisters arrival especially Ronnie. It will be interesting to see them fit into Walford.

[Katy]

Peggy has a bit of job on her hands. Phil completley losing it. And with only Billy to help who can blame her. The sisters looked good. I'm glad it came out that she jumped rather than Pushed I knew Phil would'nt have pushed her.

The question is Is he going to have that drink?

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

I was actually dissapointed to find out Phil did actually push her off and then he confessed to it.. it just dosen't seem like him? I see he could have been punishing himself for it but I just prefer if it would have been left as Stella jumped of the top herself, she was pretty looney after all..
Woooo I was right :D Lol! I'm glad Stella did jump of herself but inside I couldn't help laughing.. It just seemed quite funny without the sound how she looked like a white parachute or something.. Is this just me?! :rotfl: I know I'm not meant to laugh and it's serious but yeah...

Good episode overall.. Liked how Ben had marge with him.. Aunt Sal was really good too! Liking the Mitchell Sisters..

[DaVeyWaVey]

The Mitchell sisters are brilliant and I instantly liked them. Loved their scenes last night especially Ronnie telling Ian to shut it lol! :D

I'm glad we seen Stella fall on the CCTV tape too...Phil looks like he's cracking up..

[Siobhan]

What another good episode.. Still loving the Girls.. they are so fun in it.. Laughed so much when they were talking about setting Billy's trousers on fire cause they didn't like them.
Lucy is just annoying me and Ian needs to interact more with his kids instead of using them as staff.

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Loving EE at the moment, the Mitchell sisters are fab i just hope they don't ruin them in a few months because i think them girls are exactly what EE needs (a bit of fun)

[Johnny Allen]

loved tonights episode, some great comedy moments when the ceiling fell through on Ian, when Dot and Mo were arguing over the vase, Ian catching Ronnie getting changed, all very funny. I love them Mitchell sisters, whole lot of fun. Oh and Jase is a great addition too.

[DaVeyWaVey]

The Mitchells sisters are fab! They are a breath of fresh air for the show. Ian catching Ronnie getting changed was very funny. :lol:

[Richie_lecturer]

I have to say I have some sympathy with your view Richie. You would hardly call the humour in each of those incidents subtle. I think we could all guess the endings well before they happened. And that has been the problem with EE's humour for a good many years now.

EE doesnt do subtlety

[Siobhan]

Ian with the wall, you could see that coming a mile off but it did happen when I wasn't expecting it.
I did like the scene in the pub with Ian and Ronnie.. it was funny and then him scurring away hoping Jane wouldn't find out.
Well Done Stacey.. I was so glad she never turned up to meet Max.. he was so smug about sending Bradley away for the night thinking he was going to be with Stace but fair play, she rejected him and I don't think that is her on the phone.. I think that is for Tanya... they don't speak when Max answers the phone so they don't want to talk to him whoever it is

[tammyy2j]

I'm loving the Mitchell sisters especially Ronnie :cheer: :cheer: I'm so hating Max i hope Stacey doesn't fall for him again

[CrazyLea]

I think that is for Tanya... they don't speak when Max answers the phone so they don't want to talk to him whoever it is
I think that it might be Tanya's sister. As she's arriving next week isn't she? But that's just a guess..

[Dutchgirl]

I think you must be right!

[CrazyLea]

If I have to hear any of the phrases: "We're Mitchells!", "I'm a Mitchell!" "Mitchells are strong aren't they?" "We can do it, we are Mitchells aren't we?" or ANYTHING like that, I think I may have to scream. It does my head in at the best of times, but seriously it's getting worse. YES OKAY, we KNOW you're Mitchells, and Mitchells are "tough" and "strong" and "the most amazing thing in the world", but do we have to sit and listen to it for 20 minutes every night??? Boorrrrringgg!!

Hmmm, not all of us.... :cool:

Do not like the Mitchell sisters. I have never liked Samantha Janus as either a person or an actress.

[JustJodi]

My partner watched the eppi when the Mitchell sisters were introduced...and he said he did not like them right off the bat...I haven't seen enough of them to form a LIKE or DISLIKE.. I have to say they are fiesty,, and one of them has too many tattoos and a lousy bunch of hair extensions..........

[callummc]

can't say i like the mitchell sisters either,seems to me they are a copy of the slater sisters when they first came to the show,and some of their lines seem familiar also they are just a way of keeping EE the mitchell show,maybe in time i'll like em but i doubt it,

[Siobhan]

haha.. it is funny this is going on.. in an articul I read on these girl is said they will be hated or liked, no inbetween.. I like them.. they bring something to the show and I love their atitude... they are fiesty!!

[tammyy2j]

How many times are the Mitchell sisters going to say there are Mitchells we know already. I liked the Jase/Roxy interaction they would make an interesting couple. Max as usual was annoying

[parkerman]

I have been out all day but I was going to come back and say much the same thing. You've saved me the bother! :thumbsup:

[Dutchgirl]

haha.. it is funny this is going on.. in an articul I read on these girl is said they will be hated or liked, no inbetween.. I like them.. they bring something to the show and I love their atitude... they are fiesty!!
I like them as well, over the top, but funny.:o

[Chris_2k11]

I like the Mitchell sisters, they're more entertaining behind the bar than Peggy, and I also find their feud with Ian much better than that of just Ian vs Phil all the time, thats boring now.

Not really liking Jay's dad though

[DaVeyWaVey]

Quite a dark but good episode tonight. I like the character of Rainie and it's nice that we're getting to know a bit more about Tanya's past. The ending was very good with Tanya catching Rainie about to take drugs! :eek:

That Craig character comes across as being quite creepy and nasty too! The actor who plays him is 24 as well which i'm shocked about - he looks so young! The actor playing him is doing it well.

I found the Ian/Jane and Mitchell sisters scene really funny. I found Jane funny when she said to Ian "would you like me to give you an exclamation mark?" and the Mitchell sisters were just listening in! :rotfl:

Very good episode.

[Joanne]

I wonder what it is that Rainie has forgiven Tanya for? She mentioned it a couple of times in last nights episode.

Very good episode.

[Siobhan]

I agree Davey.. It was a very dark episode and the craig guy annoys me but i think he is meant to be that way... I like what he is doing and he is a good actor..
The Mitchell sister in Ian's house last night was funny.. I love their feud with Ian..

Joanne, I was wondering that about Rainie too.. I am not sure but didn't that woman say to Tanya that she was 15 years too late.. is Rainie forgiving her for abandoning her and going off with Max?? I am sure we will get more into it tonight

[Katy]

I liked the scenes where Tanya was at the falt and was talking to Auntie alice, it was interesting to see what her background must have been like, you don't usually get to see characters like that.

Is anyone else getting really irritated by Lucy, they keep changing the actress if they are going to at least get a kid who can act. Shes really one dimensional.

[Kim]

I'm quite liking Lucy at the moment, but it is all down to her storyline.

I thought the Auntie Alice stuff was really good, and it would be nice to see her on screen again.

The last few episodes, in my opinion, have been the best in a long time, with Tanya's sister coming in and the rift there being unearthed further in yesterday's episode, and all of the Mitchell/Beale stuff. I thought the part where Phil had the wall built to block Ian's gate and all the fall out with the potato in his exhaust pipe which ended up smashing the window of the chippy was great, but I loved it when Ronnie was in the cafe with that shoe box. I couldn't believe Ian actually thought that there were shoes in that - who carries a shoe box around horizontal? Loved what they were overhearing of Ian and Jane's evening, and the conversation between them all yesterday. I'd be quite disappointed if they were to leave. The build up with Lucy and Craig has been good, and it will interesting to see where EastEnders go with it.

[Richie_lecturer]

Alice? Who the hell is Alice?

[StarsOfCCTV]

I think she was the old woman that Tanya talked to when she was looking for Rainie...

Poor Tanya, she was trying to help and then her sister ran off with her cash! Interesting she has an escape fund though!

Loved the scenes with the Mitchell sisters overhearing the conversation between Ian and Jane, so funny :lol: and also the next day when they realised the Mitchells were there! The feud between the Mitchells and the Beales is definately better this time! :D

I like eastenders at the moment, it's getting better :)

[Siobhan]

Alice? Who the hell is Alice?

she is a woman who Tanya and Rainie use to go to when they were younger..

[Kim]

Poor Tanya, she was trying to help and then her sister ran off with her cash! Interesting she has an escape fund though!



Yeah, I really thought she was getting somewhere with Rainie. I don't think she would have taken the money if she'd have had to look Tanya in the eyes as she was taking it. I don't think Tanya would turn her back if she was to come back though; I don't think she expected her to take the money.

[Dutchgirl]

Well addicts only think about the short term solution, as in getting a fix, it would surprise me if Tanya ever saw her again. But who will know it is but of course soap land.

[Kim]

I thought with Tanya staying there all night talking to her she wouldn't have felt that the drugs were the only answer whilst she was hearing about all the family stuff as she was with the christening of the new baby thing, and about them sorting her out. With Max coming in though, it could have pushed her to take the money as well as the habit as she was cutting the phone off every time Max answered it.

[Siobhan]

I really enjoyed last night.. I was moved by Sean's speech and it gave me a new respect for him.. What he said about stacey been the brave one for staying with her mother and dealing with her illness..
Patrick getting walloped on the head.. my money is on Craig or even lucy.. don't think it is Sean.. i know he was angry but he just went somewhere to lick his wounds

[Joanne]

I'm guessing it's Craig who did it. I know Lucy probably felt a bit humiliated when Patrick threw the bag of sweets to her as she's obviously thinking she's all grown up now. However, I can't see that she would attack Patrick like that over it, unless Craig put her up to it. She does seem to be under his spell.

I thought it was an excellent episode all round last night. Lots of good story-lines happening at the moment.

[StarsOfCCTV]

I think it's Craig too, because of the gun he has in his car, when he said he could kill Ian...I can imagine Lucy telling him what happened and him taking revenge..

Seans just angry, but don't think he's capable of doing that!

[DaVeyWaVey]

Another good episode yesterday. Rob Kazinsky was amazing last night, his scene with Carly was the best scene of the episode - it was good to have a bit more of an insight into his army days - more of this please EE!

The Craig/Lucy stuff was also good - Craig gets creepier by the episode, i don't know what it is but his character comes across as being quite scary! Lucy - watch out! :eek:

[Siobhan]

Well done Lauren for realising Craig was a loser and having nothing to do with him.. even she know Lucy is going of the rails. Will she speak up about it.
Carly is really good for Sean, she gets him to open up.. Did you see Chelsea's face when she overheard Sean asking Carly to come away with him.. even she know that sean is serious about carly, a whole lot more than he was about her

[Bryan]

Great episode, and an even better cliffhanger.

I was saying to Siobhan for a long time that they should explore Sean's past, and get Carly to exposure a vulnerable side to him, so glad they did this yesterday. But am I missing something, why has he suddenly had a brekadown out of the blue, to my knowledge nothing has triggered this, so it seemed a bit out of the blue? :searchme:

He has been working all night, get stick from the mitchells then Yolande goes and tells Charlie that he was moonlighting in his cab.. Charlie chucks him out and all before lunch time.. I think that would be a pretty good trigger.. you would lose the head if you hadn' slept all night and had to go to work the next day plus Yolande has already dropped him in it last week with the Keg business!!

[JustJodi]

My partner and I both are gunning for Craig,,:ninja: we do not think Sean had any thing to do with Patrick being attacked at the store,,:nono: you can bet Yolande is gonna mention Lucy and the vodka and the heated moment with Sean,, then all fingers will be pointing at Sean ........
Yolande is right about one thing ,,, Lucy needs to find some new friends,,,:(

I agree with u Caryl is indeed good for Sean,, but why is Deano so hard on Sean ???? :hmm: It can not be cos he is holding a "thing"for chelsa after all this time ???:searchme:
Sean has been really closed about his past and kept it all in until last nights episode,, the guy who plays Sean did REALLY WELL...:eek:

I'm with you on that one Sean would hit Patrick in the face and not in the back it is not honourable.
Lucy and Craig deserve each other Lucy can be so annoying.

[Joanne]

I think Sean just makes Deano feel inadequate and he humiliates him.

Deano desperately wants to stand up to Sean but, ultimately he is not brave enough too.

[Kim]

I think Sean was capable of it in the mood he was in, but I think that thinking of Stacey and the way she was battling in order to get him to leave the minute mart, he wouldn't have done it.

I also don't think it would turn out to be him that had done it because of everything that people are thinking of it, and the upcoming plot with Chelsea and Deano. I can imagine it not being him which would set up the many twists and shocks as was said in Soaplife.

[Chris_2k11]

I feel EE is really starting to find its feet again now

[Siobhan]

I feel EE is really starting to find its feet again now
Darn tooting... it is has improved so much in the past few months.. lets hope they can maintain this

[Kim]

I agree. I don't usually like the new characters that come in, but I've enjoyed Sean and The Mitchell sisters. I only hope they stick to building on the families they've already established if they want to bring in a new character, and not bring in a whole new family as they have previously had a tendency to do.

[JustJodi]

Ok if Deano desperately wants to stand up to Sean,,, BUT WHY ????

I think it would be because he didn't really have the bottle to do it properly the last time and Carly ended up finding out and siding with Sean.

[Siobhan]

What another great episode!!! I believe Sean but Chelsea said she saw him do it so why was the tape removed.. I am still convinced it was Craig.. he was with Lucy and then all of a sudden he is in the market!!! very suspect!!

[parkerman]

I'm hoping that Winston will uncover the truth of who bashed Patrick over the head and become the hero of Albert Square. :)

[Bryan]

My money's on Tracy the mute barmaid, it's about time she had a decent storyline. Have a scene with the police dragging her out of the Vic kicking and screaming :p

[StarsOfCCTV]

:rotfl: Tracey

Thinking about it, if anyone was going to get attacked by Sean, wouldn't it be Yolande? She's the one who caused all the trouble for him :hmm:

[JustJodi]

I'm hoping that Winston will uncover the truth of who bashed Patrick over the head and become the hero of Albert Square. :)

Yea we saw him in the crowd, looking like he was about ready to burst and tell all :D Yeaaaa WINSTON:thumbsup:

[Kim]

Thinking about it, if anyone was going to get attacked by Sean, wouldn't it be Yolande? She's the one who caused all the trouble for him

If he really wanted to hurt her though, surely all the uncertainty of whether Patrick was going to be brain damaged, and what she should have done differently in order to avoid Patrick being attacked would hurt her more than having it done to herself?


What another great episode!!! I believe Sean but Chelsea said she saw him do it so why was the tape removed.. I am still convinced it was Craig.. he was with Lucy and then all of a sudden he is in the market!!! very suspect!!

Deano said to Chelsea in the Vic that they haven't really thought it through, so they obviously only saw him running off and not hitting Patrick. Sean told Carly he thought it would be blamed on him if anyone knew he was the first to find Patrick. Craig seems likely with the way he talks of the Square's older residents - and he was in the shop calling Patrick Grandad. Maybe it would turn out to be a racist attack on Craig's part. I think Sean doing it would be a bit obvious as we know he was in the mood to have done it and everything after Yolande told on him about driving Charlie's cab and attempting to steal the barrel of beer from the Vic.

I'm surprised they have finally given Patrick one - he hasn't really had a major one since his affair with Pat, which not a lot of people liked.

[Richie_lecturer]

Looked to me like a gherkin hit him and the Idris cream soda bottles came alive and beat him to the ground.

[CrazyLea]

Most of you say how great EE is at the moment. I missed the stuff with Rainie, and well haven't been watching as much of EE cause of work, but I'm not really bothered about missing it at all. I watched Tuesdays, but not much as I was playing poker with my sister at the time. The only thing that is good in EE for me at the moment is Sean. He's fab. His speech on Tuesday to Carly was moving, and I love seeing this side of him. Don't think he hit Patrick though :hmm:.

[LostVoodoo]

do we know if anything was taken from the shop besides the CCTV tape? only if there was money gone too, i would say there was a chance that Raine did it- still haging round the square trying to see Tanya but desperately needing money for a hit. just an idea.

[Dutchgirl]

I think Yolande is annoying. Patrick is not entitled to any fun and then she gets mad at Charlie for being Sean's uncle. What is that all about? I don't like her Hedonistic approach to life at all. My feelings, what I want, me,me,me,me. Yolande get your act cleaned up.:thumbsdow

By the way where is Jim? He is Patrick's best friend. Or is it because John Bardon has fallen ill?

[Siobhan]

I was thinking the same too.. yolande is all me me me!!! everything with Patrick has to be about her.. it is never what anyone else wants. I think she was very mean to charlie... he was there with patrick when she was out getting drunk. Just cause Sean is his nephew, doesn't mean he is to blame for what sean does

Yeah think it is because jim is ill but didn't he ring dot to say patrick was in hospital.

I enjoyed the episode last night too.. Sean is just making things worse for himself.. and I am sure chelsea is making it all up.. Sean didn't do it.. I believe him

[StarsOfCCTV]

Yeah, she is a bit. She should'nt take her guilt about shouting at Patrick etc out on Charlie, it's not his fault! :nono:

John Bardon had a stroke :( poor guy, he won't be back, if at all, for ages...

[JustJodi]

Yolande is quite a selfish woman I agree with you both Siobhan and DutchGirl..it is all about HER...
Her lashing out at Charlie was uncalled for..
BTW... has any one heard how John Bardon is doing since he had that stroke a few mos ago ???:searchme:

[DaVeyWaVey]

Really enjoyed last night's episode. The chasing scenes with Sean felt a bit like an action movie to me - i really liked the pace of it all. I love it when Sean's angry - just a shame that poor Gus faced his anger!

The Branning scenes were great as usual. I found Ian quite selfish when he was just seizing a new business opportunity and didn't seem to really show any care towards Patrick at all and didn't reveal any worry that he had been attacked - i would have thought he felt an ounce of sadness over what has happened.

Yolande was good tonight and i thought she acted out her scenes well especially the scene where she told Charlie to leave.

I also found Jay quite amusing in the launderette when the police arrived and he just said he was munching on some biscuits or something lol. :D

[Siobhan]

How selfish was Lucy getting Lauren to cover for her. poor Lauren too all the blame

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

I too liked the action and pace of it all Davey! Brilliant stuff there! Ian's always been selfish with all these sort of things.. we just don't realise enough :p Jay is so layed back sometimes its annoying but yesterday it made me laugh..

I think they are taking the 'teenagers going bad' a bit too far with Lucy.. She was an angel a few weeks ago?

I think Sean's innocent in some way or another.. I just feel it lol.. But I guess I will have to find out in 3 weeks when I get back :(..

[parkerman]

Sorry to go back to Thursday, but can someone who was watching closely explain something to me? After Denise had phoned Kevin from the hospital she came back and told Yolande that the police were looking for Sean in connection with the attack. At that point however, Kevin didn't know that the police were looking for Sean, so how did Denise discover the police were looking for Sean?

You are right.. I have no clue where she got the info, cos at that point of the time Kev had no idea Sean was involved. Unless it was after some one told Kevin that he had seen Sean by the tube or something.. and the person told him it was Sean the coppers were looking for then Kevin told Denise, but I honestly can't think ....

No, it couldn't have been that because the next scene after the phone call showed Kevin in the Queen Vic and that was where he learned about Sean.

Another triumph for Eastenders continuity?

[Katy]

I am liking it at the minute, Lauren is growing on me as well i really like Tanya max and the girls as a family unit. Its interesting seeing her and Lucy getting a storyline, Craig really is odd though.

I think that Sean is to obvious and that i dont think he did it, i think Craig to, theres just something not quite right about him.

I don't know what show you were watching but that didn't happen. I suggest you watch the repeat tomorrow afternoon. And they are hardly going to make a massive continuity error like that when 50 people view the episode beforehand to check for that sort of thing. If they did I can only assume its because all last weeks episodes were rewritten 2 hours before filming due to John Bardons absence from scenes which meant parts of the sstoryline all got changed right at the time of filming.

Considering all that they did a brilliant job on the episodes.

They did'nt. As you will see when you catch the ominbus tomorrow. It was Mrs Masood who told Kevin. Gus had been on the phone to Charley and Charley told both Yolande and Denise that the Police thought Sean was involved. Yolande then asked him to leave. Kevin then bumped into Sean asking him about Patrick and then Kevin went in the Vic only to be told that the police wanted Sean.

[parkerman]

OK, let's both watch and continue this after the omnibus.:thumbsup:

In this order:

Charlie found out Sean was the prime suspect by Mo and told Denise & Yolande who then told him to get out.

Kevin found out about Patricks attack in the Car by Mrs Masood.

Kevin didn't know Sean was a suspect until Gus told him.

Kevin didn't speak to Denise until Friday.

To quote you, I don't know what show you were watching, but I have now watched the omnibus edition and my version is correct. It was Denise who told Charlie that the police were looking for Sean after phoning Kevin, but at that point Kevin didn't know the police were looking for Sean.

I have recorded the episode too, so, in case you didn't see it again, I would be happy to send you a copy.

[Siobhan]

Parkerman.. I am with you on this cause I didn't know how denise knew from Kevin before Kevin found out from gus... Kevin knew Patrick was attack but not that sean was involved or else he won't have be so oblivous that the police were looking of Sean when he was talking to him.

[JustJodi]

I think my problem is,, the subtitles I am reading, may not be exact word for word, so excuse me if I get some things mixed up guys :D Whatever happened... I hope the story picks up this week,, and the bumps smooth out ( well the best EE can smooth them out :lol: )

[Siobhan]

I enjoyed last night.. I am sure Patrick did tell the police he saw Sean and yes he was right cause Sean admitted he leant over the body.. did you see the shirt?? as the dectective said there would have been splatter but there was only on area on the shirt covered in blood... And have to ask: why attempted Murder??? why not agrivated (sP) assault??? I don't think it was murder in any form

[Dutchgirl]

I'm with you on that.
And Patrick was really funny around Denise, I think it is Chelsea and Deano. And he doesn't want them to be, and people who are comatose hear everything, so he must have heard them talking about Sean. Not sure if it is a spoiler, but just in case!

[Katy]

I don't get why it was attemplted murder either, if the intention was there and a wound was made it should be s18 GBH but i suppose you can't really decide if you havent got a suspect.
I tink Carly thinks Sean did it now after finding that shirt, how it ended up in the boot of the car i don't know.
Thought Stacey was really good in the hospital scenes with Tanya, really glad she didnt lose the baby, that really would have been depressing.
I feel for Lauren it looks like she is feeling really out of her depth with the whole Lucy situation.

[Siobhan]

I am so glad Lauren said something.. Lucy had put her in an awful position and said that if she was her mate she would do it..
I think Carly now trully believes Sean is innocent and I hope he is so he can say Ha!! In your face, I wouldn't do that!!

[DaVeyWaVey]

I think Patrick only told the police it was Sean as he probably blacked out from being attacked and then seen Sean as he was the first person on the scene.

I enjoyed last night's episode...glad there using the character of Lauren a bit more and i thought it was good when she told Ian where Lucy had gone....she definetly had her priorities right.

Poor Patrick - hope he gets back to his old self soon. :(

[di marco]

one thing i want to know is, when did carly become seans girlfriend rather than it just being a fling, maybe i missed something? i dont think sean hit patrick either, i think is was probably craig. what did carly do with seans shirt? it sounded like she handed it in to the police, but then surely thats a good thing cos it will show sean didnt do it cos of the position of the blood. lucy is being really horrible to lauren, you can see lauren is desperately trying to fit in but knows that its wrong and that tanya and max would be disappointed in her

[JustJodi]

There were alot of good scenes last night.. I wanted to take Lucy over my knee and spank her till she couldn't sit down,, she has turned into a TERRIBLE young girl,,Kudos to Lauren for spilling the beans on those two( Lucy and Craig) one thing Lucy spoke the truth about,, her dad was going SPARE if he found out, now he has hes gone SPARE alright.Bring on Thurs
The scene at the Vic with Stacey and Max was good, and I am glad they just talked and Max got up and left.
The scene at the prison was good too, Rob Kaminski really is good at this type of acting, and when he said FIFTEEN YEARS, I COULD GO DOWN FIFTEEN YEARS FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO,, that gave me goosebumps..
I also think that Patrick may have sort of come to and saw Sean leaning over him..So he was probably under the assumption it was Sean that clobbered him..
Yea what did Caryl do with the shirt??? Remember the position of the blood is the key to his innocence.

Oh who was paying attention to Roxy and Ronnie LOL:searchme:
It was a good episode

I'm with you on this he did a good job with that scene.
I still think that Patrick overheard someone at his bed saying it was Sean, but he knows it is someone he loves. Me thinks. As comatose people can hear everything.

[JustJodi]

DG Patrick was never in coma .. do you think some one Patrick loved was the one who clobbered him ??:searchme:
Patrick might have come to just for a second and saw Sean leaning over him.:(

I honestly DO NOT BELIEVE SEAN did it ..
Caryl was good with Deano,,she was slowly breaking him down and I think he was about realy to confess that they didn't see diddly but Patrick had to step in and get all mouthy with the wrong person ( this is just my opinion and 2 cents worth here )

Roxy is the original DUMB BLONDE ( takes after her Auntie Peg :rotfl: ) I have a feeling we are going to see how she is going to get back that money they lost in those stolen beer kegs/barrels .. all that advertisement we have been seeing on tv the past few weeks may have something to do with it ???:confused:

Loved the scenes with Max and Craig,, I would have put the little twerps head thru the wall..Now lets see how Ian deals with him later on...............

It was a good episode not one of the better ones but good,, I give it a 4.5

[Siobhan]

I really enjoyed the interation between Max and Ian last night. I am not a big Max fan but I am glad Ian has another parent to talk to.. but how selfish was Ian "it is all about me".... and how soft was he on Lucy.. she got away with it all.

Read Lucy's web log and find out how she feels. He should at least have talked to her and share his feelings of concern with her. And "the it is all about me" how selfish!"

[Katy]

My dad would have gone flipping spare Ian was so lean on her. I like the Lucy and Jane scenes though, its good that the two get on resonably well. Craig messed with the wrong girl i think. Lucy was definitly geting that money.

[Bryan]

and now the plot thickens!

god Lucy is becoming a right mini-cindy in the making. I doubt this is the last we'll see of Craig.

And Chelsea, dont get me started on her! What a devious little minx! She's manipulating Deano, kissing him so as he dont go to the police! The way she looked so scared last night I have a feeling either she or Deano did it. Time shall tell...

[Kim]

I think she might have done it and he was just there which is why she was crying before trying to seduce him. It's not like Sean would beat up a girl as much as he would Deano, especially seeing as he came at him with that bat.

[Siobhan]

I actually felt sorry for Deano.. he wants to help his sister but then he is confront by the hysterical minx who seduces him to keep quiet and play along.. chelsea chelsea what are you hiding woman???

[Dutchgirl]

Was I the only one who found last nights episode very funny?? Heather is brilliant and she had me in fits laughing. I love her with Shirley..and put Pat into in just made the bits with Gary and dawn watchable.. I thought it was going to be one of those disjointed weeks where nothing much was going to happen but having Pat/shirley and now Burnside from the bill, i feel I am going to enjoy this week!!!!

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I wasnt very much paying attention because a certain CD had me kinder hyper lastnight and i was more wishing EE would hurry up and finish so i could put it on again rather than paying attention, and it doesnt help i havent watched EE properly for 2 weeks because my baby cousin decides to scream through all the good shows :rolleyes:

[Florijo]

I really enjoyed last nights episode. I love Pat, Heather and Shirley. I'm chuffed Pat is getting a storlyine away from that awful family of hers. I don't mind the Dawn/Garry stuff but I could do without the Keith/Mickey filler rubbish.

[Siobhan]

I loved Heather chatting up Gary.. "I have a coupon" and when he said he was kinda dating Dawn, she asked for her coupon back.. laughed my ass off!! and the bit with the wasp in the car :rotfl::rotfl:. and when Shirley was talking to Pat and Heather said "she doesn't look like a prostitute".. Heather is so funny and I am glad to be seen more of her tonight

[DaVeyWaVey]

Heather and Shirley are fantastic on screen together, please EE, make Heather a full time character! I'm glad the legendary Pat is getting some good screen time! :thumbsup:

Dawn/Garry stuff didn't really hold my attention that much, but i suppose it's ok.. Keith/Mickey stuff was boring, i thought..

I enjoyed the epi as well, Heather is so funny. Shirley is a good friend to her I think. Feeling sorry for Pat, do you reckon that they incorporated Franks death?

[Richie_lecturer]

The episodes were filmed a few weeks before Mike Reid died, so that wouldn't be possible.

[Joanne]

Dawn really is a cheap slapper isn't she?

Good episode again tonight. Heather is very good and Shirley seems to have genuinely warm feelings towards her, eg the way she was asking Gary to take her out for one night. It's good to see that side of Shirley.

[CrazyLea]

Is the whole week in Brighton? Cause I found last nights episode insanely boring. Didn't see tonights though.

[LostVoodoo]

what was Pat going on about at the end? Joan? who's joan? or did she say john? lol, i really need to pay attention more...

[Siobhan]

She said June and she is : her sister who had DS like Honey's baby.. rememeber her telling Billy she had a relative who had DS

Again Heather cracked me up last night.. she really should be a permanent character.. when she was on the roller coaster :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Loved Pat and Len scene.. both great actors and they actually work well together.. Dawn is just a cheap tart.. fake crying to get a dress, how pathetic.. felt sorry for Gary and then Minty and his mum :eek::eek:.. Thought that was all over..

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I loved the bit where Garry was telling Summer he proposed to Lynn in Brighton (thats only because it reminded me of them episodes and Jamie was in them :D)

Garry i think would make a good dad for Summer - Dawn is an idiot if she isnt interested

Didnt think last night was much to shout about but i did feel sorry for Garry alot

[JustJodi]

I really like this character Len, I do hope he decides to stick around, he plays off Pat's character perfectly..
The subtitles said JOAN,, so maybe this was a mistype on the subtitlers side,, dunno,,
Poor Gary..he deserves a good woman,, and frankly Heather would be better than that slapper/tart Dawn.
Gary was so good with Summer..
I knew Hazel was not completely out of the picture, cos she and Minty hit off so well, even my partner said hey wait a min those two really fancied each other before. Wonder if they are in the same Hotel that Garry and Dawn are in ???
Dawn is not going to change, she will keep using men to get what she wants, remember she got FREE hooters from the GOOD PEOPLE of Walford :lol:
Loved the scenes with Shirley and Heather..
Bring on Thursday..............and Friday :p

[Siobhan]

OOops I am sure she said June.. maybe she did say Joan (I need to get subtitles)

[Abi]

Yup, i agree. Its pretty boring at the minute, i think. The problem with EE is they get a great story, drag it out to death, and then have nothing to follow up with. Some of the Phil/Stella story was good (Though insanely long), but now they have nothing to follow up with, so its really bad.

[*-Rooney-*]

is anyone else really curious about whats going on with pat and why shes so secretive and what exactly is she too late for

[Kim]

Not so much with what she said at the end of the last episode, which was, "Sorry June." Janine's mum was called June and she died when Janine was young, so with what we saw at the end of the last episode, I think they're building on part of the graveyard, or something.

[Jojo]

From EE website, regarding Joan, June, etc:


Pat arrives at her destination, but fears she's left it too late to visit. The old Victorian building is being converted into flats. Distressed, Pat sobs her apology to 'Joan'.

Sorry, just wanted to clear up the name thing :D

[Kim]

Thanks, JoJo. In that case I am curious because I can't think who Joan could be, unless it's another sibling she decided not to have any contact with.

[Jojo]

Thanks, JoJo. In that case I am curious because I can't think who Joan could be, unless it's another sibling she decided not to have any contact with.

Check out Siobhan's post on the previous page (100). She's spoiler quoted it, but it explains who Joan is and give a teensy bit of insight into things :) I'm not sure if it was a "wanted" situation from Pat anyway, or not...:hmm:

[Kim]

Thanks again, JoJo.

So I'm guessing she was going to pay a last visit to Joan who was going to be moved because of the building work, but she's already gone as it would have taken her a while to receive the letter because it was sent to so many different addresses, even addressing Pat by her maiden name, Harris.

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah but she seemed so rushed like it was an emergency and she wouldnt tell anyone what was going on it was like a deep dark secret that pat was afraid to share

[*-Rooney-*]

so after all these years of pat thinking her sister was dead and she has just found evidence that she may still be alive oh dear

[JustJodi]

Brilliant scenes with Pat and Len...:cheer:

I was bored to tears with Garry ( but again he has always been a boring character ) and his POOR ME attitude.. Ok granted Dawn played him for a fool, but how could he think that he would get any where with the likes of her ( I am saying this scarastically ,, cos she is nothing but a USER) That Matt person had her number.. I wanted to kick Dawn for trying to call UNCLE GARRY to come and settle Summer down,, for heavens sake women act like a mommy...

PULL THE PIG bet has been around forever..The guy came over pretty sincere.. but boy did he get a good slug in the face and a kick in the you know whats :D from Shirley...

I wonder how Garry is going to accept his Mom and Minty as a couple,,,:searchme:

Bring on tomorrow :cool:

[Siobhan]

Last night was great (excluding the gary/dawn parts). my heart went out to poor Heather.. she didn't deserve that but fair play to Shirley for wacking him one!!! Shirley is a great mate to Heather....

Pat and Len are great together and I was so happy that Pat knows her sister is alive.. (or could be).. hope she is cause I don't think it was pat's fault her sister was sent away.... Pat loved her

[Bryan]

if Pat's sister is still alive that would be a really good storyline for them to explore, show a new side to Pat.

But I'm sure I read somewhere that most people with Downs Syndrome dont survive past their 30s due to a weakened immune system, if she was older than Pat, then she'd be in her 60s/70s, so would she really still be alive?

well according to the letter is was the late 80's when she left which is only 20 years ago so she would have been in her 40's ish...
She could be an exception. there have been known case of someone living longer with DS than expected
I have a friend who daughter has a sever condition, nobody lived past the age of 3 with same, her daughter is 21 this year!!! she has been flown around the world for studies to find out why she is living that long

We have a man who lives in our village who is in his 50's has Downs. Things have progressed a long way...


Today - Life expectancy for people with Down’s syndrome was 57 years in 1997 with babies born today likely to enjoy a healthy life of sixty years and longer. Much of the improvement can be attributed to better access to health care. However, the 1999 launch of the Down’s Syndrome Association’s Health Alert campaign and the 2002 launch of its web-site training resource for health professionals, are both in response to continuing discrimination and lack of knowledge amongst some health professionals.

I liked Len and Pat together hope thats not the last we see of him, looks like the East end and him have a connection judging by his reaction when he was in Walford. Hope we seem more of him.

[Bryan]

I dont care if some people didn't like the episodes this week, I thoroughly enjoyed them. Great mixture of drama with comedy, and we've got to see a different side to some of our favourite characters.

Shirley has a heart. Heather is hilarious. Dawn is caring. Pat is just a legend! And I hope that Len re-appears in a few months to woo Pat, he's too good a character to leave as a bit part, espec after that scene where he looked around the square - I have a feeling he'll be back.

[*-Rooney-*]

im sure len will be back why bother giving pat his card otherwise, and lets face it now pats kind of a spare pat now isnt she she doesnt really have anyone does she (especially since kevin and his family have moved out)

[Joanne]

Len has obviously got history re Walford. The way he looked around at the end and then shook his head before getting back into his car indicated to me he has bad memories of the place. He certainly didn't want to hang around after dropping Pat off, although he obviously likes her alot.

I enjoyed this week - although I thought the Gary/Dawn/Minty storylines were by far the weakest. I just cannot warm to Dawn in any way. :searchme:

[Kim]

I got the impression there was something there he was trying to get away from. I hope we see him again though, as it would be good for Pat to have someone in her life as she lost Roy 4 years ago.

I was glad to see Pat got a bit of a happy ending, finding that the cards were sent and that Joan was happy where she was. I would have liked to have seen the storyline go on for a bit longer though. It seemed a little easy for them to track her when they had to search for the name of the care home.

[DaVeyWaVey]

I just watched the EE omnibus as i missed some of this week's episodes and i must say i thoroughly enjoyed them. I was quite surprised as i'm never too keen on the "away" episodes but it was a refreshing change being away from the Square for a week.

Pat's storyline was my favourite - it was so sad, thought provoking and realistic - i really enjoyed it so hats off to EE for this storyline and for Pam St. Clement who put in a decent performance. The introduction of Len Harker was good too and he shaped up to be a good character over the week - i hope he's back soon. I liked his chemistry with Pat.

The Heather/Shirley stuff was great especially when Shirley smacked that man one after he said "he pulled the pig" - they have an excellent friendship and them singing in the Vic was great.

Dawn/Garry stuff was alright - i'm glad Minty and Hazel told Garry about them being an item. :)

Something to do with the mark on his arm presumably...?
