Shock Horror :eek: :eek: :eek:
TBH I'm not really impressed with any of the soaps at the moment.
Amanda was only saying the truth about Sharon & Dennis :p
yeah but she didn't have to be so blunt about it and it she was sniping at Sharon from the second she walked through the door. She judged her without even knowing her. Seems like she has misjudged 'mate' Chrissie too.

thursdays is going to be awful...I can feel it already.
thursdays probably will be awful because of the kat/alfie/mo saga! i hope it ends soon!

Amanda in her defense.. is an attorney after all :p As I said some where else WILL CHRISSIE FESS UP TO AMANDA WHAT SHE DID TO DEN ????( sort of will explain WHY he isn't gonna be availble fo sign the pub over to her )
I don't think Chrissie will tell her...she can't run the risk.
I find the whole Kat/Alfie/Mo storyline terrible and yesterday it was embarrasing to watch. What a dire script.

what did amanda say to sharon that was so bad? i never saw the episode so i havent a clue what she said lol,
it's not as good as the moment. i think this is why they bought jake/joel back because its not really v. gd at the mo. they need the mitchells back !!!

I only said that because apparently both Kat and Alfie are leaving around Christmas time,, so lets hope that this TRIANGLE is solved one way or the other before then so we do not have to SUFFER:sick:
Just watched it again. Still Lovin' Amanda and the Kat Amarillo scene but cannot be doing with the Kat/Alfie/Little Moo saga. It's gone on quite long enough. Julia Smith would be turning in her grave!

I don't think it would be quite that long. I think that bosses should reunite Kalfie soon as there are many who can't stand Molfie. :angry:

So would Den as his children are getting married to each other, and his wife is trying to sell 'his' queen vic. Den just couldn't accept that Dennis and Sharon were doing nothing wrong as there is no blood relation between the pair.

This should be in either the spoilers section or the rumor mill. Some may not want to know what is apparently going to happen or going to happen in the show.

Okay, tonight one of two things happened:
A) This Kalfie/Moflie triangle reached an all new low I didn't think was possible.
or
B) I died and went to hell.
:thumbsdow Hate this storyline. I don't care who Alfie chooses (although right now I prefer Mo.) I don't care if he ditches both of them and runs off to Brighton with Ian. I just want it over.
Liked Pat and Johnny though. Weird chemistry, they might be an interesting pairing.

why does alfie never take that blasted leather jacket off???!!!!
now i missed the beginning but how come there was no electric in either house but there was in the rest of the square?

now i missed the beginning but how come there was no electric in either house but there was in the rest of the square?well i never missed the beginning and i still dont know why the electric was off lol! i think i kind of blanked out that episdode because it was crap basically, i think it was just one of those filler episodes that dont mean anything, hopefully tomorrow will be better. :hmm:
I'm soprry but tonights eppi was rubbish, i mean i never miss an eppi, in case i miss something but tonights well there was no point to it at all, this whole Alfie/kat/little Mo triangle, Yawn, its rbbish i mean ee have had so many Love Triangles, don't do any more please!
I always used to like Alfie even recently when people have started going off him, but tonight well, i just don't like alfie any more and to be honest this storyline is putting me off little Mo and Kat too!
his jacket is doing my head in,he watches tv in it,he eats with it on,he wears it when its a hot day!

Actually we got to see what we all figured out about Pat and Johnnys past,, in a way it was sort of a bittersweet glimpse of their past,, and the "peck" on the lips was nothing to make some of the youngsters on this board :sick: ..:rotfl: I thought it was a sweet gesture :)
I have to agree with BlackKat 100%...I have had it with Alfie !!! :mad:
And I think i am in purgatory right now....

I was pretty tired of watching him toss it off and struggle getting it back on again,, I mean I hope he has some real strong deodorant on :rotfl:
I mean especially with him running all over the square with the food...:lol: He is just making a damn fool out of himself, hes not acting like a 40 yr old man,,:moonie: Darren and Leo would be a bit more mature than him the way he acts around those two sisters..just my 2 euro cents
the scenes in last nights ep with Alfie. Little Mo and Kat were so so so bad... god almighty who is writing these scripts??? I think the only worse thing that could happen in eastenders now is if they had a two hander episode with banana moon and little 'Frank Spencer' Mo.... last nights episode was one of the worse i have ever seen... i dont understand how somebody like Shane Richie can get awards for best actor with storylines like that.
I thought that when Little Mo came back last year she was going to be this strong independent woman??? as far as i can see she is worse than ever... how on earth could you play that whiney cow all the time and not go insane??

Also, I would not find it in the least bit romantic if I had a date who kept rushing off, bolted down the dinner, and only actually spent about a third of the time in my company. I'd rather have burned toast and baked beans and actually get to see the man -- although not if it was Alfie I guess.

oh yeah and i was also thinking last night when stacey was ill, could she be pregnant?! just a thought, because when ever things happen like this in soaps, someone being sick, it usually means theyre preggers lol! i was watching the old EE on UKTV Gold and Mel was sick, cos she was pregnant.

i thought the alfie/kat/lil mo thing last night was a bit stupid surely if you were kat or mo you would realise somethings up cause of him never being there?!?
i cant be doing with alfie at the moment, and whats the deal with all the soppy signs hes getting.
Pats birthday was funny especially pauline in a mini skirt. What a sight.

its the first sign of pregnancy usually in soaps running upstairs to be sick. I think Stacey just got on the wrong end of Mos curry.

yer EE would be gettin way too repeatitive
yeah it was just an idea that came into my head, and for like 1 minute i thought she might be pregnant. but yeah they dont usually have more than one teen pregnancy in a soap at the same time.

For some one Paulines age , she didn't have a bad pair of legs :rotfl: Actually I thought all the "girls" looked sorta cute all decked out in their 60's gear:D
Yesterdays episode was absolutly rubbish. I hated it. Kat/Mo/Alfie storyline was cringeworthy and so embarrasing to watch.

i wanted to throw my trainers at the TV it was horrible, no wonder my partner went to sleep just as Alfie started making a FOOL of himself,, it was embarassing and yes pathetic !!!!:mad:
my mum fell asleep too. she got bored.
JustJodi
22-07-2005, 15:35
Pat looked no different
No she didn't, but they all looked cute together tho,, :moonie:
Right haven't been on for ages but can I say I think Chrissie's mate Amanda is top stuff Tuesday's episode was fantastic Sarah Preston should be in EE full time and keep Tracy-Ann together they would be dynamite
She can be an interesting character but I don't like her. I hated the way she spoke to Sharon. She was out of line and downright rude. I want Sharon to put her in her place :lol:
She does make a great bitch though.
What happened in tonights episode. I was at a friends house and didn't get to see it. I did leave a video on for it but haven't got round to watching it yet.
why can the millers now afford to go on holiday and have a fridge full of food and afford to go in the pub etc? they were broke a month back,nothing has changed,keith is still unemployed so why have they suddenly got more money?
i can tell already that this demi/leo storyline is going to bore me to death!
little mo is just a user,why cant billy see it and tell her to get lost?
i know someone who was selling there buisness and there partner wasnt around and she had to go to the solicitors with him else she couldnt possibly sell it,he had to be there at the building ,i dont think they can possibly do it any other way not like amands and chrissie are doing.
Storylines are never that realistic in ee. I can't think of any other explamation.

Yes, and how come we learn for the first time that the Queen Vic actually has a washing machine? Why do they always send things to the Laundrette if that's the case?
callummc
23-07-2005, 11:01
the pub has allways had a washer,remember the first 2 hander with den and angie they argued with the washer in the background and it went onto spin with the end of the row,i suppose they use the launrette for dry cleaning and out of laziness,can't comment on last nights episode though cos after watching thursdays tripe i couldn't be bothered and it dosn't sound like i've missed much
parkerman
23-07-2005, 11:08
Oh yes, I'd forgotten that episode. Well remembered! But they don't just use it for dry cleaning. In a recent episode, Sharon took the towels over to the laundrette to be washed and, coincidentally, was able to have a heart to heart chat with Pauline about Dennis and leaving Walford. If she'd used the pub's washing machine perhaps the whole course of Eastenders might have been different...

I can't stand this Leo/Demi storyline, I really can't. Leo cannot act to save his life. Everytime he's on screen I just want to gouge my eyes out. :angry: Even Molfie vs Kalfie are good compared to this.
After this episode I am firmly in the Molfie camp -- I hate Kat since she's been back, she's coming across as desperate and slutty and I hate it.

Tonight's episode was really good apart from Alfie and Mo in the park and Darren and Leo, well particularly Leo, trying to display emotion. I thought Ian was very nice to Kat at the start. He's such a brilliant character, definitely one of my favourites!

The thing of it is Ian is the most misunderstood character EE has.. and hes brilliant really..I think one thing is for sure KAT is back to WORRYING ABOUT HERSELF again, she forgot she was supposed to make Chrissies life hell for what she did to Zoe !!! Remember she knows where Den is planted :p
Ah ha.. Mo asks Alfie about having kids,, :hmm:
Thursdays double dating saga was the worst episode ever!
Fridays was okay, still loads of Mofie but enough to balance it out although Billy and the dog saga was just taking the mickey!
Tonight's was dodgy, too much Mofie for my liking. I can't be on with this for much longer, it's testing me to the limits. It looks like I'm going to have to give the Thermos flask a dusting down, fill it with coffee and head off to Elstree to stage a protest.
JustJodi
25-07-2005, 23:07
I took a poll with my other buddies in Holland who watch EE,they agreed that MOLFIE has got to be the DUMBEST story line ever, and that Kat has gone back to her old ways, and has forgotten all about Zoe and her revenge with Chrissie,
Walford Queen If I wasn't so far away I would go with u and sit out there and protest !!!!!!
Too bad we can not get some of those EE writers in here to read what us viewers think of their crappy story lines we are "forced" to endure .....:sick: :thumbsdow
Kate Harwood does actually read on-line forums but I'm not sure whether ours is on her list. I have e-mailed her the link and told her to check it out though but if she really wanted to she could find it on her programmes website anyways.

Agreed, Molfie is the dumbest storyline ever, Any room for me on the protest???????????
It seems that getting back with Alfie is more important to Kat than dealing with Chrissie. However im sure that we haven't seen the end of Kat's revenge on Chrissie.
What happened in last nights episode?
omg! molfie babys imagine it!!!!
Thank goodness the baby rumour isn't true then! The very thought of it. I have heard that the storyline will run until September. I've also heard Christmas, let's hope it's September. I have put up with it since christmas so I will just have to put up with it for a bit longer.
I am so glad Ian has found him out. Its got to come out in the open soon.

Yep, the storyline stills grates on me, but if I had to pick a couple it would be Molfie. And Billy could...I don't know go out with...um...dammit why can't I think of any single girls in the Square? And Kat could just disappear. Oh, and then Molfie could disappear cos I'd get bored of them within a few weeks even if the triangle was over.

Thankfully, the storyline is coming to an end in September. This is the General discussion forum so i can't say any more. Take a look at the official Kalfie and Molfie thread and there is more on the baby rumor. There are also some rumors on the subject in the rumor mill.
turned off already tonight once i knew it was all about demi and leo,not interested in that drivel what so ever,not sure whats worse molfie or leo and demi
BlackKat
26-07-2005, 20:02
I liked the Sam and Billy scenes tonight -- nice bit of foreshadowing in there.
Garry and Minty were quite good as well, nothing brilliant, but decent enough.
Leo and Demi were dire, as usual.
ETA: Leo: "I'm a man." :lol: Of course you are honey, of course you are. :rotfl:
angelblue
26-07-2005, 20:06
I thought the demi and leo thing was so cute all the way through their scenes together i was like awwwwwwwwww :angel:
Yep a good espisode i was quite shocked no molfie or kalfie for a change :thumbsup:
i_luv_dennis
26-07-2005, 20:16
it was sad when demi left leo and he throw the candle out of the door
the way leo kisses demi makes me laugh,looks like hes a scared rabbit.
i see the the cameraman was drunk again! but yeah it was an alright eppy i don't know about anyone else but the leo/demi storyline is kinda cute, its waaay better than the tedious molfie/kalfie saga, infact watching paint dry is more exciting then watching molfie/kalfie.
did anyone see the magazines today, looks like lots of shannis action next week.
i thought it was going to be leo and demi all week?
Alfie is off on hols this week I think so thankfully we'll have some peace from Mofie for a bit and they weren't in it tonight which was good.
Leo and Demi were still dodgy, I'm not buying it especially with that kind of acting. I wouldn't say it's bad but it doesn't reflect their age group.
The gritty issue of the whole running away saga could be a good one for EastEnders to tackle and I hope they handle it well.
Back onto the subject of tonights installment, I was a bit annoyed really because it wasn't that good. It seemed to be another one of those few scenes episodes where it has those deep conversations. I wanted Sam to tell Billy what had happened with Den, it could have made the episode a tad more exciting anyways 4/10 because I'm feeling generous and I have to give it 2 points guaranteed anyways out of loyalty.

how anyone can say ee is improving i don't know,if anything it's slipping further into decline,out of the half hour there was only about 10 minutes of decent veiwing,tonights episode even made the ferrereas seem interesting,this isn't family veiwing its hoolyoaks with a big budget
I wouldn't quite say it's Hollyoaks because there's still characters I actually care about. If it was Hollyoaks we would have stupid camera effects every 2 minutes and that sound that is often blasted in. Now that really would be the end for EastEnders. I agree though it's not looking very promising at the moment. If what they're trying to do is fill in until the legendary Mitchells come home to roost then I think they're playing with fire and could be making a huge mistake.
lmao bring back the mitchells and hurry
To be honest though it's still showing great resilience because the audience has not dropped right down. They are still getting a respectable amount of viewers although it is pretty weak for something that used to get 20 million for the average episode back in the 80's although to be fair we now have more channels to watch.

27-07-2005, 10:31
yes but how many returning veiwers and new veiwers are going to hang around when die hard fans are getting fed up,if emmerdale was to throw a 1 hour special in now,ee would really come unstuck,and even though the mitchells have a big fan base,they also have people who don't like them who will turn off when they return

If what they're trying to do is fill in until the legendary Mitchells come home to roost then I think they're playing with fire and could be making a huge mistake.
Especially if the Mitchells don't live up to what everyone's expecting of them.
The bosses have said that they will move EastEnders to another timeslot if Emmerdale is pitted against it again until it is back on form.
I am not sure whether the Mitchells are going to work, they have a better chance than Dirty Den did though because they've not been out of it that long and they were brilliant right up until the final Mitchell (Phil) left.

I must admit I'm dubious about the Mitchells. I can vaguely remember Grant leaving, and I did like them when they were around. I'm just not sure if they'll fit into it now -- I'm glad Grant isn't back full time, because I don't think both him and Phil would work full time. I'm willing to give it a fair chance though, and I agree it should be better than Den's return. I'm just wary that the Beeb and some of the fans are expecting them to come back and 'save' the show and then are going to be dissapointed when they don't. I just hope they don't take over too much.
Well with all due respect hun the show doesn't need "saved" yet. That's a very strong word to be using. Yes it is in a spot of trouble with scripts/storylines but it's not gotten to the extent where it's drastic enough to say it needs "saving".
Grant is a fab character though. I'll be annoyed if he's wasted because it's such a big coup for them to finally get him to agree to come back.

Yes, I know it doesn't, that why I put the ' round it. I'm seeing people thinking along the lines of "The show's bad at the moment but it'll be brilliant the second the Mitchells are back." Not necessarily on this board, but on others I lurk on. If they can write brilliantly for the Mitchells, they should be able to write brilliantly for anyone, and that's what they need to be concentrating on.
I agree Grant shouldn't be wasted. I just don't want it to become The Mitchell Show. In fact, I don't want it to become the anyone show, not even The Jake Moon Show, lol.
I don't care who's show it becomes as long as they are good and we don't have to see them for 20 minutes in every episode!
I feel I may have been a bit too harsh on last nights eppy. I had a thumping headache so only had the volume on 23. I actually liked the Mitchells taking the P out of who they thought they were.

im starting to feel the same now im not sure if the mitchells can pull it off because eastenders has moved on.. but i personally love the mitchells but i have to admit i would of liked it if Den was still alive and the mitchells came and then there was a kind of family feud ..you know with den having the Vic and sharon getting married to dennis ( den actually didnt stand in the way) the whole Watts v.s Mitchells thing i would of actually love to have seen! ..but yeah i am starting to get doubts though!?

I am a bit dubious about the Mitchells being the "saviour" of Eastenders but there could be some good stuff between Dennis and the Mitchells, given the sort of charcater Dennis is.
But to "save" Eastenders they need to do something about the dire Molfie and Kalfie storylines and the even worse Demi and Leo duo.
Kat and Chrissie could be a good story to follow up too. It seems to have been forgotten at the moment.
i was watching yesterdays episode, and completely forgot that Sam and Billy are cousins lol, and they were laughing with each other and stuff and i thought in my head, 'oh no somethings gonna happen with them', then my mom said, 'i bet they get together now' and then i realised they were related and i said, 'mom theyre cousins!' lol im so stupid!
It's nice that they were interacting a bit more. I would like to see some more indication of Sam's friendship with Minty too.
yeah i forgot about minty, he was like in love with sam too wernt he? it would be nice to see them two a bit more.
Yes and he's supposed to be looking out for her.
i noticed they are making sam 'nice' suppose this is so we all feel sorry for her when she gets put away

Minty has been her "savior" thru alot of events of Sams life, especially when Peggy and Phil were absent. Minty has almost always been there for her.:)
i noticed they are making sam 'nice' suppose this is so we all feel sorry for her when she gets put away
Well she's never really been a nasty character except from when she turned a bit snobby when she had all the buisness's.
JustJodi
27-07-2005, 23:52
I agree Sam was never nasty,, just plain snobby.. but shes been knocked down a peg or two.. and it a bit more "humble".. not much but a bit :lol:
yeah true but she has been a bit of a bit*ch at times and i didnt like her through her chrissie/zoe phase,but she was likeable last night
The only time I can think of her being nasty is when she had Angie's Den burned down!
she can be really mean sometimes but shes only like that when she thinks, oh cause im a mitchell i have to be horrible, but when shes on her own shes nice!

I know what you mean, just one of the couples get together, or just leave it!!!

I thought tonights eppy was great loved the sharon and dennis scenes so adorable :lol:
I didn't think it was up to much. The whole Dot and her driving test sort of ruined it for me
The Alfie/Kat/Little Mo rubbish was awful but the good thing is Alfie is off on holiday yay! Let's hope he means it about being away for a while...he should not come back!

28-07-2005, 21:16
I thought EE was good tonight. Missed the start though. At least in between all that Kat/Alfie/Mo stuff we had Shannis!
The thing with the ring on the roof was a bit rubbish but I liked the end scene. Dot was okay but surely Sonia or someone would tell her how to wear her headphones properly. It's a stab at being humouress and it raised a chuckle from me at first but now it's just silly. It was the same when she went to do her theory test and they were all sitting round her with their headphones on, she should have seen how to wear them properly then.

I'm afraid Shannis is starting to bore me a little bit now! *runs & hides!* :eek: :o
It's good because we know what's coming...That's why I'm liking Shannis at the moment.
I'm sorry but tonights episode was not good and if people say episodes like these are good what hope is the show going to have to get back to how it used to be? It can always do better than this tripe. When it was on top it was not churning out the tosh it is these days so please don't say it's good. It just terrifies me incase any of the producers happen to be reading this and think their work is good enough. It is NOT...please EastEnders keep improving and do not think that the junk you churned out this evening was any good because quite frankly it wasn't.

Agreed
I'm not having children spoil this for me. It is NOT about the totty factor or any of these useless couplings imaginatively named Lemi, Mofie, Shannis, KAlfie appearing in the episodes that make them good. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do your research back into the glory days of EastEnders and find out what the programme was all about and why it worked. If the producers listen to the younger viewers who are loving this tripe then my show won't even go back to churning out the powerful episodes it once did. The episodes on UKTV Gold right now that are just over 3 years ago are absolutely fantastic. It wasn't that long ago atall...

I know what you mean. I love their relationship but these petty arguments they keep having aren't what Dennis and Sharon are about, it's supposed to be passionate and gripping. Sharon wants to stay, Dennis doesn't, is that all they are going to be talking about until they leave (which I assume they will at some point). When they first got together, that was such an amazing episode, and I was hoping to see more of that, which hopefully I will be doing very soon!
I am looking forward to seeing Den being dug up and the wedding which should be great! The Mitchells returning will be good too. As somebody said earlier what's keeping me going is knowing that Shannis are going to get better, more dramatic storylines and episodes. It should be brilliant when the writers get their acts together. And some of that stuff may belong on the spoilers board, so it might have to moved, but it just had to be said.
Dennis is not supposed to be a walkover and neither is this new Sharon who has returned so they may clash even more :eek:
BlackKat
28-07-2005, 22:05
I feel that about Shannis -- I'm looking forward to what's coming, but at the moment they're not doing anything for me.
ETA: I did like the scene with Dennis asking Jim to be best man though. Thought that was nice.
It'll all be worth it in the end :)

28-07-2005, 22:12
That's what I keep telling myself with this Alfie storyline -- it'll all be worth it once he leaves for good. :lol:

I thought she just wore her headphones wrong to protect that unnatural ET-looking hairdo.

I can only echo the sentiments expressed above. Goodbye Alfie. Come back with a nice girl friend and give Kat and Mo the heave-ho, then we won't have to put up with any more of this dire rubbish.
No, he shouldn't come back atall with anybody! I dread the day he does return :)

I thought it was sorta sweet that Dennis gave her a little ring, even tho it was an el cheapo... did u see her face when she hugged him,, oh come on !!! forget that myth that there may be a ring on the roof,, after 20 yrs??? :searchme:

June used to use her own hair for Dot but it got too much for her so they gave her a wig.
Todays episode in my opinion....
Alot better then yesterday, buts still not its best. The baloon thing was sweet, i even saw a glimmer of happiness on everyones faces, and possible, dare i say it, unitey for a change. The Demi and Leo story was ok, her little brother is a really good actor

BlackKat
29-07-2005, 20:43
Quite liked today's episode -- although whoever filmed that scene in the Vic when Ian was making his speech should be fired.
And Leo did not make me want to gouge me eyes out. He wasn't brilliant, but keep at it and he might be okay in a few weeks. :p And even better the week after that. :lol:
Nice to see all the old faces from when the whole cast were legends :D
Sometimes it can be hit and miss for EastEnders when they refer to past events but tonight's worked on the whole I think :)
Not too much Mofie although he was in it quite a bit. Mr Richie the eejit...
That god he's off on holiday. I hope it's for atleast a month and he only comes back to do his exit storyline but no doubt he's only going to be off-screen for a small handful of episodes. Grrrr :mad:
Tonights eppy did have a fair amount of interacting with the characters and it had a lot to balance the bad points out. Lovin' Chrissie, the way she wrote Sharon & Den on the banner was really clever thinking for whoever had that idea.
parkerman
29-07-2005, 20:47
Good to see Lofty's face again!
Perhaps Demi could run away with Leo to acting school...
They can go over the top with their history so it's nice when it's just subtle touches.

Was it just me that could see the lighting rig? I might have been imagining it, but for most of the shots I could see it and quite clearly too. :searchme: Don't they watch the scenes back at all?
I've always liked Demi and hope she's going to be OK :)

Occasionally cameras do pan a bit too high. I suppose it could be pub lighting because it's a little bit different but obviously we know what it really is. Bearing in mind the Vic bar has them studio lights anyways.
i think the camera man was drunk it was like a home video! i see the demi/leo thing has started,time to switch off til its over i think.only highlight was mr rickman in his clobber
I didn't notice the camera work tonight although I did notice it not so long ago. I don't mind really as long as I enjoyed the episode which is the main thing! Leo wasn't as bad tonight but still not liking him. Still it's a good REALISTIC good storyline :D
i think the demi leo storyline is realistic and if its done right will be great! camerawork was really bad in the vic but never noticed it during the rest of the episode, just ians speech.

I never take any notice of the camera work either. Far too busy enjoying the episodes :D
Just watched it again because it beats sleeping on that awful Z-bed anyways the lighting wasn't the studio lights afterall it was the normal lights around the bar which look like studio lights.

anyway just changing the subject, what was chrissies intentions on writing sharon and den on the banner? what was she hoping to acheive by doing that, im confused as to what her point was, although it was funny!

I didn't think she did have any intentions or even did anything. She was writing Sharon and Dennis, but then had to answer the phone before she got a chance to finish. Maybe she paused when it got to the Den bit and had a wee smirk but I don't think that she intented to leave it like that.
ohhh thats alright then i dont hate her now! lol i thought she perposly write den but thats ok its just sharon got angry when she saw it lol
Jessie Wallace
30-07-2005, 23:55
She didn't mean to leave it as Den.
p.s Hayzie, how is Maloko, do you mean Makosi?!
I think she did do it on purpose although the theory that she never got a chance to finish it and she just had an evil smirk when she'd written Den could be right too.
