I dont who find more annoying Whitney or Lauren actyally both of them



My vote goes to Lauren. I think the character is nauseating and the actor dreadful. Apart from that, she's ok.

Jodie and Darren's wedding is my least hotly anticipated wedding since I started watching EE.
Whitney and Fatboy would be sweet together.
Mandy reminds me when that other blonde woman came back, forgot her name, she started off with Ian too and then went on to Bradley.

Is Mandy really Lola's mum?

We have already had the secret mummy storyline with Kat and Zoe and Ronnie and Danielle so EE writers do like it

Ian and Kat seem to have put on some weight on their bellys lately must be Jean's cooking but Kat has a reason now she is pregnant

Why did Yusef visit Amira's dad?

parkerman

Why did Yusef visit Amira's dad?

Because he's evil.

Incidentally, I thought it a stroke of luck that Cora managed to get £200 for her candlesticks, amazingly the exact amount she needed for Dot!

Why did Yusef visit Amira's dad?

It's to do with his continued manipulation of the Masood family. I'm not sure exactly what he hopes to achieve - maybe something along the lines of destroying Zainab and Syed's tentative relationship if Syed marries Christian.

I'm glad they've put Vanessa working with Michael, we get to see more emotions from her, rather than her being all robotic with Max. I think it was a good move to have Cora and Rose join the cast, I've enjoyed their interactions with the others.

I'd say Yusef, definitely - no one does an evil expression better then Ace Bhatti on television at the moment. Saying that, Michael can be quite sinister too. The scene with him and Vanessa in the boxing club on Thursday was chilling.

We're really spoilt for baddies in EE at the moment.

I'm loving Dot, Cora and Rose together - really good fun. I hope we see more of them.

Good to see Eastenders using cliche storyline no 348...Darren sees Jodie hugging Anthony and assumes they are having an affair. This is the lazy scriptwriters equivalent to the getting held up in a traffic jam on the way to a wedding/hospital/stopping an abortion etc. storyline. It is just too ridiculous for words. Darren and Jodie had only just made up and Darren knew what had happened to Anthony's brother. Why would he not think it natural for Jodie just to be comforting Anthony? The worse thing is they only used the same cliche a couple of episodes earlier when Jack saw Eddie talking to Vanessa and assumed they were at it. Can't men and women talk to each other any more in Eastenders without it being assumed they are one step from ripping each other's clothes off?

Siobhan

I don't think it is allowed.. even in real life.. the amount of women/men I know who see their partner comforting a friend and immediately assume "their doing it"... Thankfully I don't have a partner like that.. he knows my male friend often come around for a shoulder to cry on without it meaning anything...

Yes I think Eddie is to blame as well as Michael, Eddie seem to have a new life with Tyler and Anthiony and Frankie and their mother and put Craig in care and Michael seem to have no one after his mother died, Eddie could have made more effort and told him the truth. I think Michael wanted Eddie to feel loss like he did when his mother died. I hope we see Frankie Moon (is she Michael's half sister also?)

Dot was missing from Walford for four years from 1993 to 1997, so it's not really 50 years anyway.

Personally, I think Yusef will start it, this time to finish off what he failed to do before as he has Mas out of the picture.. he will do it with Zainab in the house and just before he sets it alight, will tell her it was really him.... both will get caught in the fire and once again Mas will save her (this is me hoping cause I love Mas and Zainab together.. they were such a happy couple and I want them back together)

Syed was especially selfish tonight. He wasn't really bothered about Masood's problems, just his own. It always has to be about him.

He thought she would like the 'Treat them mean and keep them keen' approach, which I can't see working for many women. Still no reason for Kat to do what she did. Sick of scriptwriters using the easy option and making characters cheat on their partners. Not a good example to give young people starting to watch soaps, thinking that no partnership is worth fighting for and staying faithful is important. Viewers complain about characters smoking, drinking and alleged discrimination but cheating partners don't seem to be a problem.

Todays episode.....Alfie is excited about going to a West Ham game even though there wasn't one tonight. He failed to be excited about their 4-0 win on Saturday. All these EE men harp on about their teams but never go into details. West Ham's relegation was never even mentioned this summer!!!.

Kat needs to realise that this bloke has her over a Queen Vic barrel. Poor Jean just doesn't get it. The bloke just doesn't fancy her. Ian Beale is clearly besotted and is happy to express himself. Poor Arthur is also besotted but is unable to express himself.

That baby is sure cute. Christian was selfish and Syed was sly.

Since Lola is 15 wont Ben (if he is the daddy) be in trouble?

I didn't think her an Ben managed it, she was teasing it about is, wasn't she? Anyway, I think she's lying about being pregnant anyway.

Jo Joyner needs some awards for her performances she has been pulling out lately - Truly amazing! :)

Very good episode last night. You can depend on EE to come up with a good episode every now and then.

Yes, good episode, except for Derek. IMO, I found his acting too over the top, and I didn't believe that he was Max, Jack and Carol's brother, he doesn't seem to fit in in my honest opinion :( and why was he bullying Pat?

He beat David up years ago when Carol got pregnant, she's very wary of him

Derek was OK. It's bald Max who's the odd one out

i dont mind Derek, i think hes quite good. He was a racist wasnt he when he was first in it and never got on with carol after she married billies dad, the name escapes me.

Cant remember what his problem with Pat is though.

Thought it was good last night. I thought the best scenes were when it was Tanya and Cora in the bedroom. Really well done and well acted.

Billie's dad's name is Alan.

Derek first appeared in Eastenders back in 1996 when he attended his sister April's wedding. Derek and Jim were both racists and started picking on Alan and trying to start fights with him. He did his best to try and split Carol and Alan up but did not succeed and Carol and Alan got married. Derek and Jim walked out of their wedding in protest but Derek continued to goad Carol and Alan after the ceremony. Carol retaliated by belittling him because he was still living at home at the age of 32. Derek subsequently attacked Alan, but was stopped by David Wicks, who then beat him up as revenge for Derek beating him up when they were teenagers. So that's Pat's problem with him.

Carols daughter Bianca is David Wicks daughter, and that is the reason Derek first beat David for getting his sister pregnant

Alan! of course that was his name!

Thanks for the update

And even when they do it shouldn't be a problem. Soaps now and aggain do touch real issues. The homophobic Massoods are racists as well.

Since when have the Masoods been racists?

You do not regard being homphobic as racist? Isn't exclusion based on gender racist? Maybe we could differ on that part.

Of course it's not racist. Homosexuals are not a race apart. It sounds like you might have a few issues yourself there.

Of course they are not a race a part. And I do not have issues. People are people whatever gender or colour. Maybe it is an interpretation on the word. I think we are closer on views than you think, maybe it is a language issue.

If you class the Masoods as homophobic, you would have to class all Muslims as homophobic

Not sure why you have to. A rose is a flower but not al fowers are roses.

Yes, I'm sorry, Dutchgirl. I apologise for my remark. I think language could be a problem here. Racism, as the word suggests, only applies to races. Homophobia, however detestable, repugnant and loathsome is not, and could never be classed as, racism.

I will agree with you however that Masood and Zainab are homophobic as are all Muslims who interpret the Qu'ran in the way they do. Sadly, many Christians are also homophobic because of their literal translation of the Bible.

I could have cried when Tanya told Cora about how she helped her dad to die. It was nice to see a different side of Cora aswell.

Last week should have been called "Tanya week". Jo Joyner carried those episodes very well, making Tanya believable and sympathetic.
