View Full Version : Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII
When Eastenders does comedy its usually unintentional. Take for instance the cardboard funfair, the return of Dev, kidney gate to name but a few.

Well summed up. The latest would be Ben as a tough guy.

in the past i would agree and the examples given are valid, but imo, it has vastly improved. darren little has been a big influence in the humour in ee and the examples i have given previously show this to good effect.
Why was Rose wearning Heather's wedding dress?
Why was Rose wearning Heather's wedding dress?
she never wore a white wedding dress herself, got a bit nostalgic

I'm quite enjoying Ben as a psycho - he's not supposed to be tough, just incredibly twisted by Phil's bullying. I've enjoyed Ian and Ben's recent scenes.

She looked creepy to me, especially with all the make-up running down her face.

It's not so much the bullying. It's Phil Mitchell's genes. He never stood a chance.

Rose in Heather's wedding dress was really creepy. Plus when she kept rubbing it to her face when it was caked in makeup as usual I was like 'noooooo!'

It was done way better than Corrie's double episode that is for sure but it seemed rushed too much in one single episode Ben in and charged and released and it was such a shame Hev died

i agree, i dont think they should have killed hev off, a mistake by bk. ee is certainly on form at the mo. loved fridays ep with the hen dooooo! loved aunty kims line in dots house with cora and rose, its last of the summer wine, brilliant.
I was really annoyed last night about Lola (and possibly other characters) calling Heather derogatory names based on her looks, especially given it was Cheryl Fergison's last episode. What's the matter with the writers? :thumbsdow

I think I must have missed something either at the beginning of last night's episode or at the end of the one before. What was Phil doing at Heather's? Why didn't he just go home when he came out of prison?

I found Phil holding Hev's hand and saying sorry for how he treated her very insincere could have been done better by Steve imo
I do think Jay will break as well or else Phil and Ben will frame him as Billy said Phil is ruthless and Ben is his son while Jay isnt blood related
Surely Shirley will want to know what happened Hev's voice mail on her mobile even though Phil deleted it cant it be retrieved as well as Hev's landline phone records? I think that it being the last time she heard her best friend's voice she would want that voicemail back
I hope Ian tells Ben he told Marsden not Hev

It was totally surreal. That was NOT the real Phil Mitchell who have come to loath. Very unrealistic
The whole episode was very unrealistic, particularly when Ben takes Roxy's coat off her chair and puts it in the washing machine! Hopefully they won't drag this out until Christmas, and Ben will be found out and banged up asap! Mind you, a combination of Soap (inept) Police and Soap (complete lack of) Morals will see Ben challenging Boris for Mayor of London before the year is out!

But after Ben told Heather about his lies, (because he thought she had over heard him and Ian talking), she said she was going to sort it, and then before she died, she told him that she had sorted it, and this made him turn into a murderous rage!
IMO Ian wasn't the one who grassed, I think he chickened out!

It might have worked a few years ago, but Phil has become such a caricature of himself that it just seemed odd! The best person in this has been Jay, nice to see someone genuinely upset about a murder and also the throwback to what happened with his dad, he must be feeling very isolated among the Mitchells. Ben with the coat was really weird, he could have spilt curry on it and then had an excuse to put it in the washing machine, rather than just swiping it - that's really suspicious!

Ian told Marsden but Ben thinks it was Heather I think Heather was telling Ben there was something she needed to fix Ben assumed it was her grassing him up but I think she meant her and Shirley
Phil and Billy dash out of the house towards Heather's flat. After a while, Ben and Jay saunter out of the house and stop for a chat while Ben tries to convince Jay that he must go back into the flat, which takes a while. The camera then goes to Phil and Billy STILL running towards Heather's flat! Did they take the scenic route or is there a time warp in the square????

I agree Jay is playing a blinder
Shirley was great also last night
Steve McFadden acting isnt up to much imo and this storyline shows it
I think Phil would and will stitch up Billy or even Jay or Shirley to save Ben

My hats off to the guy who plays Jay..he did a bang up job and so did Shirley,, her face omg her face when she came in with George..the whole thing was ruined by that idiot Ben,, and bumbling Phil,, boy I would have given any thing to see Mardsen show up at the station last night when they were all in the waiting room..she would have had a field day with it Ah Phil Mitchell you couldn't stay away.. ahh lying Ben...etc I have a feeling Jay is going to break down and tell Billy.. and Billy trying to be a true Mitchell will tell him to keep his mouth shut..typical Billy who is harrassed and abused as much as Heather was..just my 2 cents worth All in all it was a good episode and Jay and Shirley were the stars

I agree and also the guy who plays Andrew was very good I wanted to give them both a hug
I expected some cracks of guilt to show in Ben once Ian admitted to telling Marsden but nothing he is so vile and evil
So Phil knew what was on Shirley's voicemail i.e. that Hev mentioned Andrew and no one asked him how, hope the message can be retrieved somehow perhaps off Hev landline if that is possible come on CSI :p
that will teach me for being fippant.
I think to be honest, Ben would be a Tory-bot more than likely??
june browns performance in tonights ee was almost to painful to watch. it was remarkable and beautifully played.

It would be a twist if Phil was the one to shop Ben to the police for Hev's murder. THAT would wipe the grin of Ben's face!
I'm enjoying EE at the moment. Sad they killed off Hev, but I suppose they needed to generate some excitement after the whole Yusef saga.
I hope they don't write out Shirley now that Hev has gone. Time life extinguished. Is that really to replace Time of death?

i agree it was cruel, but the fact derek made this remark, was appropriate for his character, it is the sort of thing that would be said by him. it was a throw away remark by derek to alfie, played brilliantly by jamie. it would not have had the same effect if another character had said this. i found it funny , not because of heather being fat, but because it was said at all, ( it was a gasping sort of momment, thinking did he actually say that) heather was a much loved cherished character and derek is pretty vile. thats why it worked and i thought amusing. the pc brigade can now hit back!

well pot kettle and black from Derek surely? he is hardly the slimseer (sic) girl??!!
I think it is the inconsistency.
when EE started - forgive me here.... - the mini mart was owned by an asian couple and people regularily and openly referred to it as the P**i shop, and would say 'go to the P... shop and get me.....'
which for London andthe East End at the time would have been the norm. So there well done EE for doing it and being 'real' even if not nice
Hev as a character was a larger lady, and those of lesser intelligence would always have called her fat - for me its the fact they never did, but suddenly started when her demise was imminent
it was cheap thrill writing

I cringed too, but felt it was accurate - anyone with a weakness has it exploited when it suits the bullies, which is what Phil is.
He knows Jean gets confused and has self-doubts so played on that
Phil Mitchell obviously took a course in hypnotism whilst banged up - his powers of mind control since he was released are WAY beyond those of a bully - "look into my eyes, not around the eyes but into the eyes...."

Bullying doesnt have to be all fists and threats, it is as much undermining your belief in yourself and you being right - subtle and slow drip - I've been there...!

Ok i "get it" that it is not a thing to do to grass some one up, but why is Alfie taking so much crap from Derek, we all know he is on PAROLE,( I do not know what you call it in the UK ) ALL Alfie has to do is make an anoymous call ..and Derek is good as busted???
How come Shirley gets to tell Dot that she can not attend the funeral cos she thinks Andrew is innocent ??? Ok granted Phil is going to foot the bill for the funeral, but does that give Shirley control of who can be there and cannot be there....
The episode this evening was a mess,,, Does any one thing we will ACTUALLY see Darren on screen ??? or with the social worker hand lil George over ??? Not really sure why Ben is so nervous around the toddler...its not as if the kid is going to point a finger at him and say THAT BAD MAN HIT MY MOMMY.. I do not understand why Phil wante the child to go either...

George is a constant reminder to Ben of what he's done. Having him around makes him uneasy; that's why he and Phil don't want him around.

I don't think it was. Shirley has been hurting all along because inside she really knew the truth that Heather wanted to be with Andrew rather than her and was going to marry him. The conversation they had earlier in the day when Shirley stopped Andrew going to the funeral brought this all back and when she saw the tickets it hit home and she knew that Andrew was Heather's love. She could no longer keep up the pretence - even to herself - that Heather placed her above Andrew. It was a highly emotional day but once the funeral was over she was able to recognise the truth and she knew that if she was going to be a real friend to Heather she had to believe Andrew.

But how does the tickets prove Andrew didnt kill Hev?
All of a sudden Shirley accepts Andrew is innocent
Kinda obvious Billy was getting arrested as he had no hoodie and was splashing cash around which the police think is the cash Hev had from Dot, Jay should tell the truth now and save Billy

Not at all. It couldn't possible happen as a gradual change. It had to happen like that. A gradual change would have lost all the dramatic impact of her sudden realisation that Heather was going to elope with Andrew and leave her and that that's what her friend really wanted. As JustJodi said, it was the sign from Heather she had been looking for.

The fact that HE had bought the tickets did not mean that SHE wanted to go. They could have argued and he could then have killed her.

I'm sure you're right, Dennis.
And bang goes one of the best pieces of writing the Eastenders team have ever come up with.
But how does the tickets prove Andrew didnt kill Hev?
All of a sudden Shirley accepts Andrew is innocent
I interpreted it as even if Andrew bought the tickets, Heather had them. Andrew's protest of inocence was based on the fact that he and Heather were going to elope, therefore she was into him, therefore why would he kill her.
finding that Heather did have tickets to go, made his version feasible, and if he was telling the truth.....? penny drops...

I see what you mean. They haven't glamourised her drinking, it doesn't look like fun or anything like that, but ultimately she does just wake up feeling rough and getting shouted at by various people. A serious wake-up call might be needed, eg getting beaten up, or catching an STI after making yet more bad decisions whilst drinking.

As a child my dad and his uncles and step father were alcoholics,,they were loud..foul mouthed and down right ugly but not physically abusive in any way, my first husband was a soppy ugly drunk, I spent many nights wondering if he would get home in one piece or the cops would show up at the door saying he had wrapped himself around a tree driving home drunk,spent once a week at AA meetings to understand how to deal with it, finally his wake up call was me and his son to leave him and divorce him, he hit rock bottom..some times it does not hit home until he finds out that no one is going to bail him out in a drunk tank..My step dad was a MEAN drunk, he would walk home from a club and fall into the kiddie pool next door, and fall asleep in it,, if the neighbors dog hadn't woke up the neighbors he might have drowned.. alcoholism is a DISEASE and its UGLY and what Lauren is doing she is spiraling out of control, she has already had the door slammed on her face by Lucy..others(her parents and her other friends) will have to practice TOUGH LOVE with her and just LET HER GO..and until she is ready...or hits rock bottom, and asks for help, this will make the story line more realistic..they are doing quite well with the storyline now , shes doing all the things that CAN AND WILL HAPPEN to alot of teenagers out there who think NAH IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN TO ME I CAN STOP ANY TIME I AM HAVING A GOOD TIME SO GET OFF MY BACK, it happens all over not just in the UK...sadly its the parents who are turning a blind eye..AND the Government as well..this is just my 2 cents worth....

EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt has revealed that he is "overwhelmed" by the fan response to his current storyline.
The actor plays Ian Beale, who suffered a breakdown during last night's episode when Mandy Salter left him on the morning of their wedding.
Ian was seen walking down the side of a motorway in his pyjamas and is now expected to be off screen for around six weeks while Lucy and Phil try to look for him.
"I'm so overwhelmed by all your comments about last nights EE. Thank you. There are so many, Twitter won't let me download anymore!!" Woodyatt wrote on Twitter.
"It's taken nearly two hours to read them all. Great script from Simon Ashdown, direction from Ian White, and as ever our fantastic crews."
Viewers have also seen Ian struggle with financial pressures and the aftermath of Ben Mitchell's killer secret in recent weeks.

yep i agree, It was really good. You really felt for Ian. Thought Adam was brilliant,
Definitely! I've never seen him act so well. So realistic it was upsetting.
Ben looked and acted liked he didnt care about his brother at all and no one would find that strange on the Square and Phil acting concerned for his enemy Ian
I agree Ian was great I also thought Lucy and Mandy did well too
Poor Bobby did he ever get his breakfast :p
Had to laugh at Heather's grave - blimey, was she buried on top of the ground - the mound of earth was big enough. The writers should know you can't put a headstone up that quickly - the ground has to settle first!

There's a lot of things the writers should know but apparently don't. Soapworld is a different place to the one we all live in.

I often think that the writers know very little about real life

Plus the gravestone looked like a foam cut out with pink writing

I hope they find Ian alive, his breakdown brought tears to my eyes. Congratulations to Adam Woodyatt for a brilliant peformance :bow: a nice branching off of the storyline of Heather's murder.
IMO there is some chemistry between Cora and Derek.

Yes Cora seems to like Derek and want to help him but then Tanya hates him surely it cant just be over him sleeping with Rainie at her and Max's wedding or did Derek rape or sleep with Tanya in the past and he is Lauren's real father as has been rumoured on a few other sites

Quite. And where one of the community swindles another member, who has psychiatric problems, out of lots of money.
I'm sick of Jean's whinning myself lately I know she is a ill and the storyline is showing her being taken advantage of but her whinning is grating on me

I find Afia and Tamwar so dull.

Michael continued to deny ever having taken Jean's money.
kat calls Michael evil and a snake
Kim continues to do nothing at the B&B leading to Denise starting a work to rule....

Interesting nothing new is going on with Ben and his dastardly deeds ??? Kim is a lazy so and so,, what I do not understand is how is it that KIM owns the B&B...where did the money come from ??????

Zainab gave it to Kim and Denise from Yusef's will? After the fire in which he died she felt guilty about receiving the money, and as the Insurance company wouldnt pay out

So it belongs to both Kim and Denise ???? So Denise really has a SAY SO ABOUT HOW the B&B is run ?? or is it exclusively Kim's ?????
I thought both of them? but I am happy to be corrected?!

Kim seems to be parading around as if she is the sole owner,, it was KIM'S PALACE etc So I presume Denise has no say so ????
Denise and Patrick should just leave her to it and let it fall down around her ears,, shes a selfish ungrateful BIATCH...

I thought that Patrick let them have it and Patrick was always close to Denise, rather than Kim.

Felt not one iota of sympathy for Lucy Squeal tonight. Deserves all she gets but no doubt she'll come out of it all smelling of chip fat!
I could have sworn Kat had meet Derek before
Dutchgirl
13-06-2012, 08:34
Ah do not like Kat's make up. But the is feisty as hell, you go girl!
Hope Alice will see how Derek threatens people, I so hate the man.
JustJodi
13-06-2012, 09:37
Ok some people think Lucy has gotten what she deserves, I don't ..I think this girl is being terrorized by this horrible bully..and Yes i agree with Dutchgirl, I hope Alice finds out what a horrible man her father is ( I use that term loosely) I also hope Joe ( the parole officer...not sure what u guys call it in the UK ) catches him doing something super wrong, and clap the SOB in jail, I really really do not like Derek..Kat's make up is a bit much, and does any one think shes had her lips done ???? Ah Poppy LOL what an airhead....

Thats what I thought too....kim has no concept of buisness, she just runs her mouth off,,and spends money ...I am sure there was NOT that much money there ...

Lucy has been a cow and deserves some backlash for that - but not from a man of derek's age who is in no way related or has any responsibility over her - bully is right
I really dont like Derek and would like to see him get his just desserts.
and we are also forgetting when the character appeared briefly in EE before (Carol's weeding to Alan) Derek was massively racist, and blatant about it too!!

So still no word about Ian's whereabouts has Lucy contacted Simon, Jane and Peter about him?
If it was my dad I be round the police station every day

Ian may not be recieving medical care , could be sleeping rough or with Sharon (as some have suggested). Hopefully Alice will see Derek stealing money ,bullying Lucy and see him for what he is. The Probation Officer has been useless so far.Can't understand why Lucy doesn't clear the till regularlly. Wish I'd got shares in the cafe ,the amount of money Derek's taking out the till every time he goes in must be making a fortune.

Agree, but judging by the state he was in when he went walkabout, I don't think he knew whether he was Ian Beale , or the Xmas Fairy . Might be he's been kept locked up and can't make contact with anyone ?
Kat and Derek flirting was cringy
Janine looked like a younger Cora in her wedding hair style :p
