Yes Shiv, it was Janine! Alice stabbed him once to protect Janine, then when alice ran out, Janie stabbed him again to finish him off. Does this remind anyone else of Emmerdale??

It's good to see that Eastenders is still set in a complete world of its own. Someone turns up with a bagful of hundreds of thousands of pounds (as you do) and the Queen Vic is handed over. No conveyancing; no Land Registry involvement; no surveys; no legal niceties; no background checks.......Does anyone know which country Walford is set in by the way?

Must be Narnia. EE had the best Xmas episode in comparison with the others imo. Pity Janine has gone.
I was willing Janine to get away?
and how does it legally stand to arrest a second person for murder where another person has alreadyy pleaded guilty to it?
nice to see the police turn up on mass and arrest Janine on the random phone tip off of the convicted murderers brother?

There would be no problem in arresting someone for murder if there was good reason to suspect they were responsible even if someone else had already pleaded guilty but, as you say, on the random tip off of the brother of the person who has pleaded guilty without any further investigation is a bit ott.
Just don't get Phil. "I'll count it later" then he hands over the keys! This Mick bloke is going to do my head in. Seems far too cocky, and Danny Dyer has also said in interviews he'll be the next Ian Beale and be there for 20 years! Don't count your chickens mate. I can't believe Phil can even sell thw pub, Roxy signed it over to Peggy. Why would she sign it to someone who burned it down? Phil should have remembered whose pub it really was and respected what Roxy said when she said she didn't want this. He had his revenge for the window by crushing the car, for which I was willing Alfie to at least take the value of the Capri out of the money bag.
I was willing Janine to get away with it too. Poor Scarlett growing up to find that out. I hope she goes to Ricky or something as it isn't like many people in the Square have a good word to say about Janine and/or Michael.
why is sharon back? no need for her
so shirley knew her brother was the new owner
tammyy2j
26-12-2013, 23:10
Did Joey give the police David's phone recording confession of Janine?
I would have preferred David to buy the pub
I must admit not overwhelmed by the other Carters especially Mick, his arrival was build up too much and it was a let down

However, I thought The Carters owned a pub before coming to the Queen Vic and were in the trade. Why were they asking Alfie and Phil for their contacts to get drinks in? Don't they have contacts?

Is that it for Janine and Alice? Hope we get to see all the loose ends tied up, or at least some more of their story.
I'm sure I heard a passing comment that Scarlett is going to Diane's - that's right, a relative in other country she's never met!
could kat and alfie take her or maybe one of michael's family?

I was thinking Eddie perhaps. The rest of the family weren't happy to find that Eddie had left Craig in care, so maybe he'll see it as his chance to put things right. Kat and Alfie have enough on their plates with Alfie being out of work and Kat pregnant.
There was a comment that Diane would take her but they didn't elaborate on whether that was indefinitely or over New Year or something. Maybe they'll elaborate on it when we see Janine over New Year.

I took the Diane comment that Scarlett was with carol only until Diane came to pick her up, and then she'd be with Diane indefinitely.
I'm still hoping Janine gets off with the murder?? Is that bad.
And then leaves the square to avoid the accusing stares and comments?
If she goes down for murder it would be a decade before she could come back?

On an Exits programme once, one of the writers/producers said that the characters had to earn their exits. Janine's done a lot of bad things this stint, so I think she'll go down and we'll somehow hear that Alice is eventually released.
I'm sure they'll somehow find a way to ensure that Janine is released if Charlie wishes to return. A re-examination of the case deciding that David could have doctored the recording perhaps? If they can bring Stacey back without the police on her back as they were with Sam, they can bring back anyone.
Had to laugh when Linda said she'd pay Tracey until the end of the week. It WAS the end of the week.
so danny is gay again for teeny carter who looks about 12
this ronnie and roxy and carl storyline is awful, too much panto acting from them all even samantha
does roxy even want amy anymore?
good to see sharon hear she wasn't phil's first choice he works much better with shirley

I have not watched it for a few months now and have not missed it at all ... maybe I should give it another try too :hmm: :D

Also how selfish is Roxy she must of remembered about James before she listened to her voice mail surely?

its getting there, it is improving, its gone from intensive care, to the high dependency unit and has just moved to ward 5. things look promising.

mick is a mix of alfie and grant
why did ronnie take the jump leads and was she fitting phil up for carl's murder by leaving the phone?
I've watched two episdes now and found them a lot better than when I previously watched, so I'll continue watching for now.
I like the Carters a lot, except perhaps for the mum (Linda?), and the scripts were good - particularly New Year's Eve's. I'm dreading seeing some characters I came to despise last time, eg Bianca, but quite a lot of people have been axed since I last watched, so hopefully only the decent actors are left.
I'm pleased to report EE is looking up, Perdy :)
parkerman
02-01-2014, 11:01
I can't say I agree with you, Dazzle. I thought last night's episode in particular was dire. It's as though Eastenders has realised it's rubbish and is now playing on its own shortcomings in the hope of winning some sort of niche audience who are going to watch out for all the ott nonsense and count up the mistakes and the highly improbable happenings. It seems to have given up all pretence of being a serious rival to Corrie as a realistic drama of everyday folk and is becoming some sort of not real make-pretend escapist show set in a make believe land. Which I suppose is ok if you want that sort of thing.
I agree with you about improbable happenings, parkerman :D I suppose I put that down to it being a "special" episode. I'm interested to watch the everyday episodes now to see if the overall quality has improved.
The trouble is that Corrie's been pretty dire lately (except for Roy and Hayley) and is leaving me unsatisfied, so I'm hoping EE will fit the bill :searchme:
I thought we were going to see Amy witness Carls murder last night.
And then in a decade when she starts actually speaking!!!, it comes back to haunt Ronnie?
megan999
02-01-2014, 14:11
I think that EE is quite good at the moment :)
Loved last night's episode:thumbsup:
Ronnie :ninja: she's left Phil to pick up the pieces :D
I jumped the gun and thought Ronnie had done him on the previous night. Silly me. But at least I got to see her whack him yet again, and this time with success. Good also to see Womack exercise her facial muscles too and drop the emotionless mask. All far fetched of course, but hey, this isn't a documentary is it?
why did ronnie take the jump leads and was she fitting phil up for carl's murder by leaving the phone?Thought at first it was some sort of symbolic gesture .removing the only useful item out of the car, but maybe not. Also expected a "Goldfinger" style crushing of the car. But looks like Carl's body is going to be found ,so you may be right lizann ,Phil put in the frame for murder. Whose car was it ?
Lord, what it take to completely obliterate this guy??? She should have gotten him to the kebab shop and done a Sweeney Todd with oul Carl.

That would have been good
Does Phil know Ronnie killed Carl and why is he keeping his bloody phone?
I'm warming to the Carters now
I was expecting lots of blood like a scene from Saw when the car was being crushed :p
That was some cringe-making acting in the shout-athon at the end of last night's episode between Nancy and Linda :thumbsdow
I hope the coming out storyline isn't too prolonged because it's getting a bit repetitive to have one every couple of years on EE. The complaints about the recent gay kiss make it obvious there's still plenty of homophobia in the UK today :( but it does get boring watching the same old recycled storylines.

I don't like Kat and Alfie so don't consider them talented I'm afraid. I tend to zone out during their scenes :D
I can only think that Shane Ritchie is writing his own scripts, now, because surely professional scriptwriters wouldn't come up with such turgid nonsense?
Who changes a lightbulb while pregnant? Who changes a lightbulb when there is still daylight outside? Who changes a lightbulb in high heels? Who changes a lightbulb immediately following a row? Argh.
If Kat has another miscarriage I'll likely stop watching, the last one was terrible.
so kat is having twins and why hasn't alfie demanded a paternity test, kat does put it about maybe one if alfie's and one is belong to michael or joey

friday's episode was excellent and another great script from daran little.
the end scene with mick and johnny was very touching. great performances from danny dyer and sam strike. line of the night goes to mick: 'so you're the one we should have called nancy.'
i'm sure this episode will get complaints from the daily (curtain twitchin) snail brigade, just like the kiss did between johnny and danny caused outrage. :( it's hard to believe we are in the year 2014.

Michael's death was too long ago now and Joey was sleeping with Janine at around the time of conception. If they've seen the heartbeat on the scan it must literally have been the night they reunited. Roxy's face will be a picture.
I think Kat's learned her lesson now after being thrown out and having to build her life up from nothing; losing Alfie to Roxy for a year etc.
With Alfie's low sperm count they're likely identical.
With the Carters, I don't think they've had a storyline where a father is immediately supportive. Great to see Shirley's input from the Ben angle too.

Eastenders scriptwriters conference: "What can we do today?",
"No idea. It's a bit hard thinking up new stories all the time."
"I've got it. How about a story about someone 'coming out' as gay?"
"Great idea and we can look at the parents' reaction. I don't think we've ever done that before have we?"

Danny Dyer is impressing me as Mick, he can act
He's grown on me I must say. He just seemed far too cocky in his first episode.

He's a perfect fit for this role and that attitude he's displaying goes with the character and the territory.
I agree with GloriaW, I quite like him
I'm not as equally enthusiastic about Kellie Bright, however.

I'm probably with you on that one.

I like them too, and also Johnny. I'm not sure about Nancy at the moment, but actually dislike Linda (which, I suppose we're meant to for her attitude to Johnny's coming out).
Since I haven't been watching EE again for long, I'm not sure what to make of Danny. He seems at bit predatory hanging around the Vic and Johnny all the time. Is he meant to be a nice guy or what?
Think you got the right description of Danny with predator, don't like the character

Thanks, Perdy. He wasn't in EE last time I watched it so I haven't come across him before.
Not seen much of him either due to my break from watching EE but somehow I can't take to the character :searchme:

The guy has been pure evil since day one first with Jeannine now with Johnny. But I confess to liking a good villian, me. So far Gary Lucy is doing an outstanding job of it with being able to project true menace. I never got over losing Jamie Foreman who was a brilliant villian.

Don't forget guys, extra episode of EE tomorrow night (Wednesday) at 8-8.30pm.
By the way, I don't like Danny much either. I don't mind Kelly Bright. I think that's just the way her character is meant to be. Tina is my favourite Carter at the moment :D

Ahh...so he's an out-and-out villain, is he? That explains my unease over his interest in Johnny, even though I haven't actually seen him "do" anything (I wasn't watching when they kissed, so don't know how that went down). A grown man hovering about a young, vulnerable teen isn't nice :thumbsdow
I did used to like Gary Lucy in Footballers' Wives, so am looking forward to seeing more of him :D

Danny first appeared before working with Janine. He was first seen when he came to the Masoods' Restaurant and met Syed noticing he had money problems. He got Syed to invest £500 with him and they became close and kissed, even though Syed was with Christian at the time. Syed realised it was a mistake and told Danny he loved Christian and asked for his money back, but Danny said the investment had fallen through. Danny told Christian that he and Syed had had sex, so Christian punched him. Syed found Christian badly beaten, implying he and Danny had a violent fight. Danny told the police that Christian assaulted him, and Christian was arrested. Masood threatened to report Danny for fraud in regard to the failed investment, and Christian was released without charge.
So, yes, Danny has been evil since day one, but predating Janine.

Thanks Parkerman, that makes things clearer :)
It was a very nice surprise seeing Jane back last night - an excellent duff duff moment :D
Well it shows his acting chops anyway. And good casting too on the producers part.
Thanks Parkerman, that makes things clearer :)
~Thanks parkerman, I thought I was missing something there. now you reminded me. He's always been a snake hasnt' he! Good vililan though and long may he reign.

I don't think the writers know what to do with Danny I thought he was staying with Lucy and kinda of seeing her but lately seems ready to pounce on poor Johnny
They are using him like a roving rottweiler who lunges periodically. They should lock him into a firm storyline. He's a very believable and interesting villian, they're missing a trick with him.

I wanted Shirley to win :D I've always been a fan of Shirley's, although the writing for her has been terrible sometimes. Linda Henry's always so watchable, even when Shirley's behaving badly. I'm glad she's been given more to do.
I wonder if Jane will be back. I no longer read spoilers so I haven't a clue - which is nice :D

Might depend if you don't think that someone who targets others for exploitation and emotional abuse is vililanous or not. I do.
After last night it's obvious that Denise is having second thoughts concerning her engagement. That pairing I never bought in the first place.

They can't do that. They're too busy trying out new storylines - things that have never been done before. Like "coming out" or cancer...er....

Syed and Christian.
Syed and Christian.
hmm.point to debate perhaps?
he kissed Syed - who should have known better if he was so in love with Christian
but Danny was then a git to Christian!!
And I believe he made the long list for Best Villian at the British Soap Awards. So obviously he's viewed as a villianious character.

Another episode of EE will be shown on Wednesday 15 January. Are they now going to screen EE every Wednesday now, or are they just playing catch-up?
I quite like Denise's storyline at the moment. I think that her and Fatboy would have made a great couple. Much more exciting than Fatboy and boring Poppy :D
Max was a right b****d to Kirsty."I could have hired a hooker". Wasn't a great fan of hers to start with, but no-one deserves to get used like that! :angry:

And I believe he made the long list for Best Villian at the British Soap Awards. So obviously he's viewed as a villianious character.
Well that list was drawn up after a long liquid lunch!!!!
With the number of murderers in soaps, was he the best they could shortlist.??

He's an outstanding villian and obviously many thought so. He's devious, manipulative, self serving and seductive. All the better to lure his victims in. And I do like a good villian, and he's one.

You need to review what he did in the Christian Syed storyline. Emotions were deeply involved there alright. He's pretty indefensible though you are making an effort.
Denise looks younger and Fatboy older imo
Well, the reality is Diane Parrish is 44 and Ricky Norwood is 25. I do think she looks good for 44. But he doesn't look older then her.
I like him very much and hope they utilize him to the fullest on the show. Parrish to me isn't as interesting to watch.

Tonight this all became a moot point didn't it? Obviously Fatboy thinks Denise is exactly the right age for him!
