Don't be surprised, he's out there now...available. I would look forward to it as they both actually can act.
Even when Max told her he loved her when she was leaving and wanted to go with her she said no not now after Bradley so I hope Stacey sticks to that

Obviously, he's not good for her or anyone for that matter. I look at it from another angle though and that is that Jake Wood and Lacey Turner are two of the best actors EE has ever had along with Joy Joyner. So I enjoy watching interactions between actors who are talented.

as well as a new head shabham also has a new bad personality
Which could prove interesting. She's already shot Fatboy down quite quickly.

I agree they are great actors but they have storylines that don't resolve around affairs and sex too

Perhaps Stacey will get cancer and Max will "come out" as gay. They seem to be the only other two storylines EE has at the moment.

I've always liked Masood but the rest...blahh. Especially Tamwar and annoying AJ. Who I suspect they thought would be an amusing character but he's not; just annoying and immature. Tamwar is borderline creepy and another one I think they had hoped would play better. But again...blahh. Thank goodness Zainab is gone. Shrill hysteric who I couldn't stand much more of.

Oh, cancer has infected Corrie as well and the gay theme has been going for sometime. Anthony Cotton thanks his cotton socks for that.

Zainab is missed, I think the family aren't the same without her i.e. boring and surplus to requirements
Tamwar really needed proper storylines not to be joked on by Kat and Bianca
I found AJ funny

line of the night went to kat, when alfie gave her a stool to sit on:
'i'm runnin a stall, not joining west life.' :)
slightly off topic, i was amused by the continuity announcer when the credits were rolling at the end referring to the national television awards as the soap awards and to go the eastenders website for more details. :D

That's for sure. Which makes it even more impressive when you get good acting occur. Add to that what the directors incur also. Due to the insanely short time they have to refine scenes when you see someone like a Jake Wood, Lacey Turner or Joy Joyner pull off a really effective scene, it shows what good actors they are in spite of the medicore scripts and shooting schedules.

I enjoyed last night's episode.
Sharon and Phil's conversation made me laugh. She's like, "Ronnie killed Carl" like it was nothing, and then going totally over the top about Dennis.
Looks like Masood's losing the plot over Carol and Shabnam.
Who is Sonia's dad?
I enjoyed last night's episode.
It was excellent last night, the best episode since I started watching again recently.
I agree that Sharon wasn't very shocked about Carl's death, not when she found out Ronnie had done it, anyway. But I don't find it surprising that she's very upset about Phil's part in Dennis' death. If I remember rightly, Phil did what he did totally out of spite. It's pretty unforgiveable.
I loved seeing Sonia again, and the Jackson girls' scenes were really moving.
I'm not liking the new Shabnam so far, I'm afraid, as she's not the best actor. The storyline of her radicalization (is that the right word?) in Pakistan is interesting, though. I'm really surprised Tamwar took her side, even though I understand he found Masood drinking to be shocking. Surely Shabnam's new attitude is more shocking still? It's nice to see EE being gritty and daring.
Sharon wasn't laughing when she realized Phil's culpability in the death of Dennis. Sonia was the result of her mother's fling with Terry Cant, whom Sonia never knew.

I think you could be right there. I noticed the Argee Bhajee a coupled of episodes ago. Hadn't seen it for ages. This is usually a sign from the Eastenders producer/scriptwriters that something is about to be brought back into the story....
why would Phil help Sharon open a bar when he owns the club??
Is that not Scarlett, Ian's restaurant place or is that where the Moon's secondhand loft was?
I think Ian's restaurant was the secondhand place (that somehow got magically bigger).

when did Sharon become so weak and controlled by phil. she finds out he went to Shirley first, but she turned him down so he turned to Sharon. she then finds out that love of her life/step brother and father of her child, dennis is only dead because of phil and she forgives him. does she have no self respect anymore its like watching angie and den the next generation

Sorry, I'm new to Eastenders. Why doesn't it air on Wednesdays? Does anyone know?

EE's usual air days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. We've been having an extra episode on Wednesdays for the last couple of weeks, but I believe it'll go back to the usual schedule next week.
Are you enjoying it so far?
As for Phil and Sharon, I'm hoping there's a reason behind her bizarre decision to stay with him - like she's just after his money for the new bar, for example. I think they work well together.

But why only four days? Is there a reason? Most soaps are usually on for five days a week! I just find it a bit odd that's all. But thanks for your reply :)
Yes! I'm enjoying it very much :) What made me fall for Eastenders was the Johnny storyline, but I think the soap overall is quite good! I like all the characters, but the Carters, and the woman having twins and her husband.. those are my faves! :)

Well the only soaps I watch that are on 5 days a week are the Aussie ones, so I don't find it odd. Corrie has 5 episodes a week, but they're spread over 3 days.
EE and Corrie (and probably Emmerdale too) started out with only a couple of episodes a week, and have slowly increased these over the years. Lots of people think there are too many episodes on each week which causes a decrease in quality (which I don't necessarily agree with). So, having 4 or 5 episodes a week is a relatively recent development for UK soaps.
I'm glad you're enjoying EE. I've recently started re-watching after more than a year's break, and I'm enjoying it again too :)
If you want to avoid double-posting, use the "Go Advanced" option. There's a glitch in the system that causes the double posts :)

It still sucks that we only get four days worth of episodes every week though. I'm used to five episodes on all the American and Aussie soaps. I sorta feel cheated. I want more! Like you said.. even Corrie has 5 episodes a week, so why can't Eastenders have it too? I feel like they experimented with five episodes when the Carter family arrived. Maybe they thought if it was successful then they'd do it more, especially on big occasions, with huge and important storylines. That at least gives me hope that maybe they'll try five episodes a week again in the future :)

Originally I thought she was just enduring it because she was in love, but I have my doubts now after the Dennis revelation.

There have been other occasions when EE have done 5 episodes a week, so I'm sure it'll happen again on big storylines :)
I know what you mean about feeling cheated though - I really miss the soaps on the weekends and on days they're not aired as usual. I do feel a bit sad admitting that though :D

I hope that isn't the end of the matter!
does shirley know carl is dead if so blackmail phil
poor belle
I think maybe five episodes a week was something that Dominic Treadwell Collins wanted to try. He's made a very positive impression in his first months in the job so I'm not surprised that EastEnders have been given the extra air time. I can't ever remember it being on for 5 days a week before though, unless it was Christmas/New Year or to make up for them missing an episode either the week before or the week after.
Whose test do we think it is?

Do you know how long Gary Lucy is out for? I know he did Dancing on Ice, but I was under the impression that he did both Eastenders and DOI?! He himself said, when someone asked him how he did both Eastenders and DOI, "with great difficulty". Doesn't that mean he's doing both? Or else he would have said "I'm not on Eastenders as long as I'm doing DOI". I'm sorry.. I'm just confused. Someone else told me he'd be out for two months. That's why I'm asking.

Haven't found a definitive answer yet but I look forward to his return. A good villian is worth his weight in gold on these soaps.

I want him together with Johnny tbh. He looked genuinely concerned for Johnny. He asked Johnny twice how he was doing. I think he really does care about him, underneath that cold exterior. I have never seen him act this way about someone else. Hopefully I'm not wrong, and the writers will pair them up in the future, when Gary is back from DOI. I think the actors have amazing chemistry, and they just make the relationship work between Johnny and Danny. It would be such a shame to have Johnny get a different boyfriend, when he has such amazing chemistry with Danny already! :)

I was thinking a who's the Daddy storyline between Liam and TJ.
Lauren and Whitney were the obvious suspects for the test so Liam and Cindy isn't that obvious. I believed her a month or so ago when she said she hadn't slept with him.

I cannot believe Gary Lucy is leaving Eastenders! I am so upset I might cry! I've been hated on for weeks for shipping Penter. All the haters said they were never gonna happen. I always had a hope they would. I guess they were right all along. This sucks so much. I only wanted Johnny to be with Danny. I don't care anymore now though. I'm so pissed off at the writers/producers/whoever made this decision. I still believe they could do a lot more with the Danny character. I don't understand the decision to let him go.
But ok.. one less show to watch. Fine by me. I will not watch Eastenders again. Penter was the only reason I cares about Eastenders. I won't watch unless Penter is happening.

I think you should carry on watching for a while...you'll probably get into some of the other characters then. You haven't been watching long enough to get to know all the characters :)

The idiots have done it again; let go of a good villian. Was disapointed big time when Jamie Foreman left, now Gary Lucy. These soaps need an effective villian to work around.

Yes! I'm enjoying it very much :) What made me fall for Eastenders was the Johnny storyline, but I think the soap overall is quite good! I like all the characters, but the Carters, and the woman having twins and her husband.. those are my faves! :)
Reply from the BBC when I asked the question why EE is not being shown on a Wednesday :
As the UK’s public service broadcaster, we do a great deal of research to inform what programmes we commission and where we place them in our schedules. When formulating the schedules, we do try to take into account audience expectations related to both the channel and the time of the broadcast, and of the variety of content we provide. We know that not everyone will agree with our choices when scheduling programmes. These are subjective decisions and we accept that not everyone will think that we are correct on each occasion.

Cindy is yeah, she's 15. Not sure how old TJ is supposed to be, but as he's been seen in a school uniform, I would assume 15/16.
Wouldn't be surprised if Liam is also a potential father. He looked very nervy tonight.

I was going to pose a question today. Do we smell the preview to an affair between those two? Linda certainly is edgy about it all.
The chemistry is there and she's truly a damsel in distress right now and he's a willing shoulder to cry on it seems.

I'm convinced Cindy has had a one night stand with Liam, and more with TJ. There must be a who's the Daddy storyline coming up.

From what I've found she herself has confirmed leaving but of course unless they cut someones head off, they always can return. So my feeling remains that the groundwork for an affair with her and Mick has been laid.

Jake drove while drunk after forcing Lauren into the car. He hit Kat's buggy (but not Kat.) It was the meat in the buggy and not Tommy. Shirley gave Kat £150 for the meat. Linda offered Kat and Bianca one of the pies that had the meat in and Bianca was going to try one but Kat dragged Bianca out telling her she didn't want to try the pies. Johnny later found a dog tag in the meat and Shirley asked Kat for a refund, who refused telling her that she should keep quiet as she'd been serving it to customers. Jake disappeared thinking that Tommy was in the buggy and Lauren tracked him down.
Cindy went to the abortion clinic with TJ and Linda, but TJ later left her and Linda alone. Cindy implied to him that she'd gone through with it but actually kept the baby.
Nikki turned up after David called her and he told Nikki that TJ had got a girl into trouble.
Linda caught Wayne showing his phone around and laughing. Nancy figured that they were pictures of her and showed the whole pub pictures of Wayne on a laptop to get her own back, saying that there wasn't a big finale :lol:

I really couldn't give a toss about Cindy being pregnant, they've done nothing with her character since they brought her in and it just seems like they're thinking of something to do with her. And what we have seen of her hasn't been very endearing, but probably like Lola she'll have a total personality transplant once she becomes a mum. And TJ has hardly been in it either, so I don't care if he's the father...

The opposite for me as this storyline could explore the whole issue of teen pregnancies. EE can do a good job addressing social issues and hopefully this will be the case here. And the Cindy character who is unappealing in terms of personality traits could develop more positively with motherhood. Though that's iffy.:angel:

Here's some questions. How was it that The "monster" Carter father had £10,000.00 lying about while he lives in those sort of accomodations?
They all seemed from the start to think of him as being able to give them the money they needed. I expected when they went to see him that he would be living in very different circumstances. And will Deano be back on the scene anytime soon? Do we like Timothy West in this role?

EastEnders has been praised by a charity for raising awareness of epilepsy.
In tonight's episode (January 28) of the BBC One soap, Nancy Carter (Maddy Hill) was seen having her first seizure in the park while out walking her dog.
Charity Epilepsy Awareness wrote on its official website about advising the show on making the storyline as realistic as possible.
A spokesperson for the charity said: "It's great that such a high-profile programme like EastEnders is raising awareness of epilepsy.
"It is reassuring to know that the programme makers are committed to representing epilepsy in the right way. They spent lots of time ensuring that the scenes were as true-to-life as possible."

You can't just put someone's name above a pub as a licensee. You have to apply to the local council and the person concerned has to hold a licensing qualification; for example, a BII Level II examination certificate or a similar accredited qualification such as the EDI NCPLH level 2 qualification. In most cases the police would also have to approve. Does Shirley have any qualifications?
I loved the scene between Mick and Shirley where he cried. I wanted more on Deano as he found his number but there may be more to come.
Good work by both Danny Dyer and Linda Henry and well written. A soap got it right for a change.
Interesting to note, also the scene in which Mick tells Linda about how Shirley is feeling. He was clearly in a conflicted postion between his wife and sister and he sat there twirling his wedding band. You don't need a body language expert to point out what that meant. Was it Dyer's choice or the directors I wonder? A subtle but effective touch.

Shirley told Carly that her Dad's name was Daniel and Deano thought he was his too, but Shirley said he wasn't. She never named Deano's father.
To be honest, I don't think there's ever going to be any logic where the licensing is concerned. Kat definitely has no qualifications as she didn't go back to school after having Zoe. I also thought you couldn't get a licence with a criminal record (as EastEnders explained with Derek after he took the rap for Martin growing cannabis in his dad's shed.) Both Alfie and Kat have criminal records and they had their names above the door.

He's got acting chops alright. I look for a performance that pulls you in and makes you feel and believe what the character is supposed to be feeling. He has the ability unlike some others to do it. A good actor can portray deep emotion just through the eyes alone. I'll be watching him more closely as now I know he's got it and look forward to what else he can bring to us.
I noted earlier the scene in which he was trying to explain to Linda how Shirley felt. He was twirling his wedding ring which indicated his conflicted feelings between his love for his wife and for his sister. Either he came up with that subtle touch himself or he was directed. I bet it was his doing.

I felt that Mick's conversation with Linda in which he persuaded her to let Shirley have a stake in the pub could be perceived very manipulative. He said all the right things to convince her to give Shirley a chance.
Now that could have been just because he's a really nice guy (which is certainly the impression we've been given so far) or that he can be quite sly. So far it's been made out that Mick and Linda have a rock solid marriage, but I do wonder if he would have chosen Shirley if he really had to. Only time will tell where his real loyalties lie, I guess.
I also liked his conversation with Nancy (the one where she farted :D) - both Mick and Danny Dyer have a really nice way about them.
I'm glad to see Shirley getting a stake in the pub, whatever the dubious legalities.

Yep, I can see his loyalties lying with someone other than Linda at some point; it is Albert Square after all.
Can't wait to find out why Linda can't stand Shirley. Whatever Shirley's secret is I think Mick knows about it and if Linda knows, I'm surprised she's so negative toward her.

That's an interesting take on it. I dont' see that at all and I predict he was genuine.

I think that's probably the case too, but I'm reserving final judgement :)

aunt babe was a welcome addition to the carter clan and we are getting bits and pieces of shirley's past, which is good. loved the karaoke, aunt babe and johnny what a team. simon high trousers cowell should sign them up. a number one christmas single maybe? followed by an album. they are no worse than no direction. :D

Cringeworthy those two singing. My ears have sustained permanent damage.
Interesting to find out how abusive Shirley's parents were to her which explains a lot about this character's dysfunction coming from that.
Faboy and Poppy finally called it quits. Never did believe that pairing to begin with so no loss. But Masood really has lost his soul of late and needs a good smack in the conscience. Another one who needs a smack is Aleks that market supervisor that's toturing Tamwar. Poor guy, his father steals his uni money and now this guy. Stereotypically they've got him with a Germanic accent. German efficency at it's worst.

The new market inspector is Polish. Still, close enough to have a rant about German stereotyping.....
Can't stand the guy. Poor Tamwar :( The 50 sugars bit was funny though. Clearly he has a secret but I'm surprised he's not pocketing Bianca and Kat's rent money to pay his dentist bills!

Wrong. Turns out after investigating, the character is Latvian. And a Pole would not take kindly to being classed as a Latvian. Interestingly, the actor himself, Kristian Kiehling, is German.

Looks like you hit the nail on the head about his accent then. I'm hopeless at identifying accents, apart from French and American (even then I can't tell the difference between American and Canadian :o).
I thought David's proposal was really sweet and unexpected. I wonder how Carol will react - she didn't appear too pleased.

That's it, Daz. He may playing a Latvian, but he's got a German accent. Not that I'd be very adept at identifying the difference in the two accents to be honest. And I too, an American, can't always identify Canadians! I need to hear them say the word "about" which often, but not always, is a giveaway.
Carol never seems too pleased about anything. Sourpuss.

You're American, are you? I'll hear your posts in a different accent from now on lol :D

Whose heart wouldn't be softened by David in sweetheart mode? :wub:

I don't know. She needs facial and heart dermabrasion.

There are too many Carters now, in my opinion!!
:rotfl:

And the best part is I have an accent similar to The Sopranos or Cake Boss.

Which ones do you not like?

I looove The Sopranos, it's my fave TV show ever, so I'm familiar with your accent :D

The opening credit scenes is a shot of the NJ Turnpike, right where I used to live. Weird seeing those shots as it's all familar territory. And let me tell you, the depiction of the Mafia is pretty accurate.

Looking forward to Lacey Turners return; a soap actress who can act. Anyone catch her last night on Call the Midwife? Brilliant portrayal and shows how she can move the viewer.

I used to love Stacey, she was my favourite character, but I felt her character had been done to death by the time she left. I hope EE doesn't become the Stacey Slater show again.
I haven't read any spoilers but I'd be surprised if she's back for the long-term because Lacey seems to be getting plenty of other work.

She has made a go of it after leaving the show so I would agree that in all probabliity she would not be staying indefinitely.

Didn't expect anything else did you? But we know he's set to return to the show so ultimately they will interact.
