some great one liners in tonights episode.
ronnie introducing roxy to charlie 'this is roxanne, she's my pimp.'
i nearly wet myself when tina called abby 'dora the explorer' and ronnie and roxy taking the mick out of jay and abby acting out a scene from neighbours with references to scott and charlene. it was like being back in ramsey street. :D
as for the stunt, not overly impressed. leave that sort of thing to hollyoaks, they do it better than any other soap.
lola super quick recovery thanks to lee

When are we going to find out Shabnam's big secret, or has that been forgotten?
There was an article published on Thursday which said there were going to be two shocks within the next two weeks. I'm hoping it may be revealed then.

I just thought she was distracting herself from Danielle's memory by sleeping with Charlie. It seems more likely to me that she'll start obsessing over Lola and using her as a Danielle substitute. That's certainly what was going through Lola's mind in the hospital. She looked well scared at the thought :D

My impression was that he's gone AWOL, and if he goes back he'll be arrested.

I thought he was on leave now but planning to go AWOL, so he won't get into trouble if he goes back after his leave is over.
I think if he'd gone AWOL already, the military authorities would have contacted his parents by now. I'm just guessing though.

Was it Lee or Deano who punched Mick at Stan's flat?
It was Lee that punched Mick at Stan's flat. Because of that, I'm thinking that maybe Dean and Stan fell out when Dean discovered a family secret, resulting in him leaving Stan's (it was the shadow of Dean that Stan was talking to when Shirley called round.) Dean's probably not banking on Stan being at the Vic at the moment.
Does anybody else think Dean's return has something to do with Lee turning up?
May well do, since he obviously hasn't fallen out with Stan. Maybe Lee did something dodgy and Dean's getting blamed for it? I still don't think we have the whole truth out of Lee.
what is with the glances and smirks between whitney and terry, seems kinda creepy

Terry is encouraging Whitney to chase men again (bad advice in my opinion - why does she need yet another man?). I agree it is coming across as creepy.
Denise must have very low self-esteem to allow herself to be treated so badly.
So we're getting some new characters in the market to liven things up? Looks good to me. I laughed when that woman told Kat and Bianca they shouldn't be selling clothes because they've got no taste. Very true :rotfl:

I don't know, random thought/theory:What if after the whole Whitney/Lee/Lucy thing Whitney turns to Terry, takes his advice the wrong way and tries to kiss him or something.
I think that's a possibility if Terry carries on being so caring and affectionate and Whitney so desperate for male attention, especially if things don't work out with Lee.

One thing I have been thinking about with Lucy's murder - is it all a red herring and it isn't someone on the Square? Yes, she has been living a bit recklessly, but unfortunately it's not particularly uncommon for young women to go missing or end up dead. For instance, she works in property lettings, she's effectively meeting strangers all the time. Lauren said she'd had 'three cancellations' that day for viewings, maybe one of them rang Lucy to re-arrange the viewing for that evening? Or maybe it was the person she was buying drugs off?
Also, I'm quite interested in the comments that they will find out a lot more about her now she's dead. It's got a bit of a Gone Girl flavour to it.

I think the "three cancellations" comments will turn out to be important (and the drugs too, obviously).

Yes, a lot of people are saying that the reason we weren't given much in the murder episode was that there's a lot of secrets going to be revealed as Lucy's life's investigated. It does sound intriguing and explains why Friday's episode gave us so little to go on. I'm hopeful the storyline will get a lot more interesting from now on.

Very emotional episode tonight, Adam was in top form as Ian and also good performances from actors who play Jane, Denise and Peter
I didn't like the ott scenes of the puppies birth and Phil as Doctor Doolittle, felt it was very forced for comedy and it failed
Also I was expecting one of Ian's close friends like Alfie or Sharon to stop him when he was leaving the pub upset to ask what was wrong instead everyone just went quite and watched

I thought the acting, and Ian's facial contortions, were awful. I was trying to place where I'd seen the actor, who played the detective, recently - he was Jess Griffin's wife beating husband in Holby City.

the actress playing Emma was in Family Affairs.
I loved the puppy scenes. I thought it made phil and shirley really endearing and heartfelt. you'd never think in a million years theyd be smiling / crying over a puppy. it genuinely felt like the pup couldve been a baby the way phil was holding it this showed he'd do anything for her :) sharon's face when phil walked off was classic too! ew that they kissed after though, thats gross lol
it totally distracted me from the rest of the ep, which is probably a good thing. Adam, ben and laurie were brilliant :)

no I thought we had always gone to Epping Forest before when trees etc were needed, the common was mentioned only in the flats episode last week, when Lucy pointed it out through the window to the viewing students??!

I couldn't agree more :)
I found the episode totally mesmerising. Setting it completely in the Beale house, and especially the silent first few minutes, was a brave decision and it really paid off. It didn't feel like a soap at all (I can understand if some people didn't like that). It felt real.
The best episode of EE since I started watching again early this year :thumbsup:

I have been staggered by such a powerful performance from Adam Woodyatt. How an actor can switch that scale of emotion on and off is beyond me. Top marks .Phil and Peter also excelled. Of all the years I have watched EE ,Corrie and Emmerdale those scenes rank the highest at the moment. As others have said what a shame this storyline will continue to Feb 2015. A couple of months would have been good imo. Hope the quality can be sustained?

The scene with Ian and Phil was incredibly moving and I was actually cringing with Ian's pain. It felt very, very real. I wonder if Ian felt like he could let go with Phil like that because he wasn't trying to be strong like he was with his family? Phil's reaction was very well done too.

It wasn't a pretty scene, but then real grief is ugly. It's unusual for it to be portrayed so powerfully on the screen. I wouldn't want to watch that every day either, but not for the same reasons as you :D

I was really shocked that David accused Max of murdering Lucy! I know he suspects they had an affair, but it seems a bit of a stretch to start accusing his virtual brother-in-law of murder (unless David knows something we don't) :searchme:
I'm wondering if the texts setting up secret trysts were to Max though. Emma said those texts were from an unregistered pay-as-you-go phone but I thought Max was using his usual phone to text Lucy and that the texts she received from him were from "Max". Was she seeing someone else??

I think he was implying that since they were having an affair things could have got heated - I genuinely think Lucy's death might have been accidental in a row with someone, who then panicked and then dumped her body on the common.

Excellent scenes. I'm glad Sonia is back as I've always liked her character and think Natalie Cassidy is a decent actress. She also works very well with Lindsay Coulson and the rest of the family. The only bum note for me is Bianca, who I dislike intensely!
Was David accusing him of killing her or only of their relationship?
David ended Thursday's episode by accusing Max of killing Lucy (after which I wrote the above post) but clarified in Friday's episode that he was just trying to shock Max into admitting the affair. Clever David! I just keep liking him more and more :wub:
The episode also confirmed that Max had been using a different phone to contact Lucy. The actions of a serial adulterer there :thumbsdow

I really like Aleks - he's quite a three-dimensional character given his limited screen time so far. When he first came into EE I thought he was an out-and-out baddie, but I'm not so sure any more. He's another intriguing character like Charlie.
I hope Kristian Kiehling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristian_Kiehling) who plays Aleks, will stick around for a while. He's a German actor who has a long CV, so I'd be surprised if he wanted to be in EE for the long term.

I think Charlie is Nicks son but Yvonne isn't Charlies mum. Her family resemblance line was saying they look alike, she asked if charlie thought Dot bought it. Charlie didn't know Dot had called his "mum". For some reason charlie is protecting Yvonne, i think charlie has killed someone and is passing them off as Nick. Maybe Nick is in prison or in hiding somewhere.
Steve was amazing in tuesdays ep, i got quite teary!

Interesting theory, but it doesn't explain why Yvonne was listed on Charlie's phone under "mum". He was obviously shaken that Dot had got hold of his phone so I don't think he planned for it to happen.

Are we now going to find out that Shirley is Mick's mum, and not his sister? That's what I inferred from what Stan was implying last night.
I took him to mean that it was Shirley who tried to drown young Mick in the bath. That would explain her guilty reaction, but I hope there's another explanation. I think we're meant to be confused at this point though.
Matt Di Angelo was good last night. I'm glad to see him back. I always liked Deano, but am loving the new darker version.
Excellent episode last night.

Surely Shirley is not that much older than Mick???

I can't find dates of birth for Shirley and Mick, but there's 14 years between Linda Henry and Danny Dyer so I'd imagine it's similar for the characters they play (although I seem to remember hearing that Mick Carter is a couple of years older than Danny Dyer).
So yes, it is possible that Shirley is Mick's mum but I hope it's not the case, especially after the Kat and Zoe saga.

yeap he gives me the creeps.
phil and shirley belong together. i like how eastenders manage to remind us of family ties and connections, like the history between denise and shirley and the fact shirley was related to pat at one time by marriage. nice touch with the video recording, it sounded like phil daniels voice?
a good episode to end the week in walford. ben hardy is rather good as peter and the scenes with ian have been excellent. it was a nice touch to actually see lucy and the end scene with peter not wanting to leave lucy alone was very moving and powerful.
the trailers for next week look very promising.

So glad others like phil & shirley on here - other forums its all pro phil and sharon and that its a retcon of phil and sharon lol how can it be a retcon when he rejected shirl. Im actually quite annoyed cos i dont believe phil would cruelly reject her by saying he felt nothing for her. he didnt want to leave her at the bench and he wasnt impressed sharon left. There are ways and means of showing you want someone and being respectful. I do think he's confused though as he seems to always go to her and its not stopped after this. in thursdays episode it was obvious he was in love with her so why would he reject her without even being tempted. the way he was with her is like how he was with suzy or glenda and it made them far too predictable which they never were.They nearly turned into David and Nikki!

i know i bang on about eastenders with my rose tinted specs on, but i thought tonight's episode was going to be good, but it has to be one of the best episodes of eastenders i have seen and i have watched from day one.
when peter said 'I'm older than her for the first time in my life', that really hit home. ben hardy is outstanding and adam woodyatt gave another superb performance. the whole cast was just brilliant.
anybody who missed this episode, whether your an eastenders fan or not, i urge you to catch it on either iplayer or on the omnibus repeat. continuing drama at its very best!

I thought the funeral episode was rubbish, apart from Shirley confessing that she tried to drown Mick, and far too long at an hour. I'm fed up with Ian's histrionics, it's getting boring now - I want to hit him with a cricket bat! Denise should just pack her bags and leave, why stay where she's not wanted?
How are the police allowed to appoint Coker to do Lucy's funeral without Ian's say so? I wouldn't want that creep anywhere near any of my relative's funerals.

Exactly what I was thinking. What made it worse was that they kind of had two excuses for her not being there, Stacey's sentencing and the pregnancy. Understandable, as she must be coming up to 6 months now so with twins it's probably getting uncomfortable. But why couldn't they do the decent thing and say they thought it was best for Ian that he didn't have to see Kat today what with her pregnant with twins? I don't think Ian needs to hear about one murderer's light sentence when his daughter has recently been murdered.
Alfie doesn't go to the funeral because of Kat yet rolls up to Max's to lay down the law with a man that hates him, when he is not intimidating in the slightest. Okay then...
Also, no mention of Ronnie. Sam Womack is also on a filming break at the moment so why didn't they have a scene between Roxy and Phil where Roxy said she wasn't coming because of memories of Danielle?

Who knows. Avoiding the hate of Abi/Jay/Phil by having it cause Ian to spill the beans in the middle of the funeral rather than them? Why wasn't Christian asked to do it in the first place? Did Ian specifically mention that he didn't feel he could do it, as it surprised me that he didn't carry it?

I thought the wife was supposed to have some duties at the funeral parlour as well as running the flower stall. She would really be a better person to deal with customers and other bereaved parties.

It was a decent episode but no need for it to be an hour, it was too long imo
The actor who plays Peter was good as was Adam as Ian
How are the police allowed to appoint Coker to do Lucy's funeral without Ian's say so? I wouldn't want that creep anywhere near any of my relative's funerals.
I thought Emma said that the body had gone to their nominated funeral director? Coker is creepy but the other EE residents don't seem to have picked up on that yet :D
I'm fed up with Ian's histrionics, it's getting boring now - I want to hit him with a cricket bat!
The way he's behaving is very realistic, if uncomfortable viewing. Hopefully now the funeral's over he'll be able to move on a little.
Denise should just pack her bags and leave, why stay where she's not wanted?
She is wanted though. She knows that Ian doesn't love her - and that he loves Jane - but he needs Denise for her support at the moment. That's not fair, but it's human. She pities him too much to take her support away for now.
It was a decent episode but no need for it to be an hour, it was too long imo
It was apparently originally filmed as two episodes, but they were put together as there's no episode on Friday this week.
The actor who plays Peter was good as was Adam as Ian
They were both excellent and had me in tears.
I was quite disappointed in Shirley that she virtually ignored Dean because she was worried about Mick guessing. She's waited for an opportunity to see Dean for years and she couldn't be bothered to listen to him! :angry:
I can't wait for the next episode to hear why Shirley tried to drown Mick, and to see his reaction.
Must have missed that bit, I might watch the episode again.
i think ian contact creepy croker to take lucy as he did say to peter he must contact the undertaker to make arrangements to get lucy's body when released or something along that lines
is it normal for the police detective to attend the funeral, emma seems very interested in ian and cindy said she lied and gave ian an alibi he is the killer?

Emma is the Family Liason Officer, so it probably is in her case. DS Holt wasn't there, so it wasn't as if the police presence was high. Emma is a main character until the end of the year at least so I'm wondering whether Ian and Emma will get together at some point.
I remember DCI Marsden going to Archie Mitchell's funeral because she thought someone would give themselves away. I certainly don't think Emma attended with any agenda like that, but she certainly got a lead when Max was outed as the sender of the texts to Lucy.
I don't think Ian killed Lucy. He's one of the ones I think is least likely to have done it. Pretty much everyone will have a dodgy looking alibi for that night so that there are as many plausible suspects as possible. Fairly sure that someone walked along quite close to Cindy as she said that, so I think someone will pull Ian up on his alibi tomorrow.
Must have missed that bit, I might watch the episode again.
It was said a few episodes back when Emma told Peter the body had been released - although I may have imagined it. :D
I'd be very surprised if Ian murdered Lucy too, given he's not a violent man. He didn't even punch Max at the funeral when most men in his shoes probably would have! It's possible it was an accident, but is Ian capable of moving his daughter's body and leaving it in the woods? I doubt it.

OH MY WORD. i know some will say it is eastenders greatest hits, revisiting the zoe/kat storyline, but i think this will have a different slant. for one i'm sure stan is not the father. it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
great performance from linda henry. lets hope we get a few more surprises, its so much better without spoilers!! other soaps tape note!!!

22-05-2014, 23:04
In my post on 16/5 I suspected that Shirley is Mick's mum. Wonder who the dad will turn out to be?
I'm kind of disappointed in the "big twist".
First, it's been clearly signposted for weeks so it wasn't a big surprise. The fact that Shirley kept referring to her "son" throughout the episode gave it away immediately. I was hoping for another explanation for the attempted drowning rather than the really obvious, melodramatic one. I feel a big sense of anti-climax. :(
Secondly, I chose to ignore the hints that were being dropped because I really thought they shouldn't go there again after Kat and Zoe. That was one of the biggest and most successful storylines in British soap history and is still very clearly etched in my mind. A repeat feels way too soon.
Thirdly, I was looking forward to Dean being back and his and Shirley's relationship being explored in depth. That's been completely overshadowed now and I for one am disappointed about it. Shirley doesn't even seem to remember that Dean exists!
The only plus side as far as I'm concerned is that there'll be some intense scenes coming up featuring Shirley, Mick and Stan which will no doubt be mesmerising.
i know some will say it is eastenders greatest hits, revisiting the zoe/kat storyline, but i think this will have a different slant.
Hopefully it'll have a very different slant and I won't keep getting a sense of deja vu. I expect I'll enjoy it after my initial disappointment because the actors involved are so good and the writing has been excellent recently. I just hope that Dean's relationship with his mum doesn't keep on being sidelined.
On the surface it really screams Kat and Zoe but I'm trying to refrain from commenting too much until I've had more time to think it over (I was out and have only just seen the episode.)
I really liked Shirley and Mick as brother and sister though.
monalisa62003
23-05-2014, 03:19
I dont think shirley/mick is a repeat of kat/zoe.
Shirley and mick are mother and son, they are over 30, shirley drowned mick in the bath, sylvia left them and stan was horrible.
Theyve also got Tina involved.
I loved the ep - phil/shirley were as amazing as ever. However i dont think he has strong romantic feelings ATM but they will develop soon now he knows this secret. He will have to lie to sharon about it as he wont betray shirley. I loved how sharon felt threatened she deserved it after being horrible to shirley.
The end i thought was weird, they couldve panned to shirley and mick walking off after phils shocked face.

I hope we find out who Mick's father is, I don't think it is Stan as Nancy asked Shirley if he abused her and she answered if he did she would kill him
I like the dynamic and chemistry between Mick and Shirley (plus Linda and Danny are great actors, Danny really has shone since he came to Eastenders credit to him and the writers) and when Dean finds out Mick is his half brother sparks will fly we already seen they don't get on

I'm going to be very upset if David dies, even though I really, really don't want him to leave Carol in the lurch again. If he lives, at least Michael French can return to EE some day.

:( Yeah he looked very confused in that scene, so i was unsure. So glad he mentioned it again but i did think it was a little sly mentioning it when he knows she doesn't want to talk about it. Still she's also kept this from him and they were going to marry so he's bound to be bothered she lied about this. Its so obvious he would rather be with her than Sharon
Just wondering, but would sonia not be allowed time off to look after her mum who has cancer and that she has the gene? Surely they wouldn't sack her when she's got a mum who could die and her sister's dad has had a heart attack.

sonia why did you not call an ambulance?
So stupid!! As a nurse she would have known that the paramedics would start treating David on the spot, thus lessening his risk of death even if they were slower getting him to the hospital.
Carol realised during her talk with Ian that marrying David wouldn't have made her happy. That's no reason to blame him for having a heart attack though! As if anyone would manufacture a heart attack to get out of a relationship!! I'm disgusted with Carol's reaction. :thumbsdow
I know I was initially disappointed with the reveal that Shirley is Mick's mum, but I do like the way it's playing out with the audience being in on the secret. I wonder how long it'll be before Mick finds out?
I'm glad to see Dean's finally moving into the square and that Shirley's trying to make it up to him.

Well I am annoyed at Carol...she even made him leave just as his relationship with Bianca too was going good, she deserved to have her dad around
Carol didn't force David to leave Walford and his family, that was his own decision. Relationships split all the time without the people in question running off abroad and leaving their families behind.
I'm not sure who's more to blame for the breakdown of Carol and David's relationship. He seemed genuinely committed this time, but after a lifetime of the opposite why would Carol believe he meant it this time? Arranging to take her to a plastic surgeon was a completely thoughtless thing to do to a woman who's afraid of being unattractive after a mastectomy. It just reinforced her fears that David would no longer find her attractive. I don't doubt David's intentions were good, but Carol understandably found it insulting.
Then again, Carol's lack of sympathy for David's heart attack was awful. I don't blame him for reacting so angrily, and I was quite taken aback that he came back for more to be honest.
It was a very complex relationship.

I did feel very sorry for Billy at first. It would be devastating for most parents not to see their children for a year. I saw a different side though when Honey explained to Linda how hard it's been to cope as a single mother. I admit I was quite shocked that Billy hasn't been any help to her, as I assumed he was helping out off-screen. It's hard to feel sorry for him when he hasn't taken any of the burden for caring for the kids.
I wonder what'll happen now?

It must be horrible :( - I say you need to take care of your mental health first and foremost. If that means avoiding Twitter so be it. It's only letting these stalkers win if you allow it to affect your life. Ignoring them is the best thing you can do.
I don't use Twitter but can you contact the administrators about this? I'm sure these people's IP addresses can be blocked if Twitter deems this situation serious.
Let us know what happens.

Shirley said only her mother and Babe knew she was Mick's mother so Stan must think he is Mick's real father and he drank a lot at the time too she said
I agree the actor who plays Johnny was very good

good scenes with dot and ian at the hospital, i liked it when dot called sharon, sharon watts.
in recent episodes i have thought there is a lot of angie in sharon's mannerisms.
as for cora and stan, brilliant. not sure if it was in tonight's or last nights episode when mick referred to stan's bit of stuff as 'that cora treacle.' :D

Loving this weeks episodes...so much Phil & shirley goodness! Tuesdays episode is my new all time favourite episode of theirs. There was so much in it and by the end his feelings for her were so obvious. I knew he was planning something with sharon but didnt know he'd tell shirl. He was more bothered about what she thought than caring about sharon.

excellent scenes with johnny and sharon. beautifully played by both sam and letitia. ee got that spot on.
enjoying the carters, i hope both kellie bright and danny dyer are in it for the long haul. they feel apart of the square, it as though they have been there for years and they only arrived christmas day.
my only gripe was the end scene, why was shirley at the hospital. for me that didn't work.

i honestly thought they might kiss or sleep together, shirl would regret it because of the ben thing and then he would propose to sharon. I didn't expect him to propose like that. He didn't even seem torn between the two. They built up the whole week only for it to end on phil seemingly not caring about how shirl would react.The spoilers for next week dont look good either. the spoilers said he was meant to reveal his true feelings, and there is something in next weeks spoilers that said he confessed his love for her. This never happened
I wasn't expecting it to play out like that either, even though I hadn't read the spoilers. Phil seems to genuinely care for Sharon and not be too bothered about Shirley. It could be guilt at organizing the attack, but that wasn't how it came across. (I don't use the word "love" because how could someone want to give a scare like that to the person they love??)

He's definetly bothered about shirley - the looks he was giving her in the pub and the hospital. Also the fact that he told shirley his biggest secret should mean a lot. He trusted her enough to confide in her. He knows how much sharon hates shirley so she would feel betrayed that he told her first.
To me it looked like guilt. Before the attack phil barely touched sharon, he hardly went near her and when he did it was only when she initiated it. Even then he didnt really respond as someone whos supposed to be genuinely in love. It was only after the attack he started it so thats why it came across as guilt. He also left the room and thats what he did after ben killed heather cos he couldnt cope with the guilt.
He does care about sharon - theyve got an awful lot of history together and he was responsible for dennis' death but i dont believe hes in love with her.

ian is lexi's uncle i forgot that
shirley wont be happy with phil when ben returns and if shirley really wants to make up with dean be around him and the family and help with his shop not in the hospital chasing baldie :p loved tina calling phil that

I dont blame shirley one bit. She has really tried to move on and sort her life out, but phil kept bothering her and wouldnt leave her alone. She asked him multiple times to leave her alone. Phil is hugely to blame but i do sympathise with him somwhat as i believe he didnt set out to hurt shirley. It doesnt excuse what he done to sharon though

i think i read some where sam womack had other commitments which ee knew about when she came back,not sure if she is filming another series of mount pleasant for sky? i think she is due to come back, not sure when though?
i thought ronnies exit was a little odd and rushed. we haven't seen ronnie for ages then all of a sudden she pops up. not overly impressed.

Urgh phil is such a prick. He mustve seen shirl when he said she was a mess. He mustve known ronnie would tell shirl what he said. He knows shirley reacts this way when shes a "mess" he brought it all on himself.
Guessed at the beginning of the episode that Ronnie would be pregnant. That poor child will be mollycoddled more than Dennis Rickman Jr! And presumably the grandchild of Archie Mitchell AND Nick Cotton. Oh dear...
Some comeuppance for murder and kidnapping to be given a child.
I wonder if Alfie actually took her to Kings Cross or has he gone to the dark side to make sure she won't be around when Kat gives birth?
I enjoyed a Ronnie-heavy episode. I always like watching intense characters. It's a pity we're obviously not going to see her for a while.
Enjoyable episode featuring lots of the Mitchells and Carters.

I hated how threatening Phil was to Shirley
Shirley cant do nothing now as he knows her Mick secret so he too has leverage
Sharon with a gun cant be good

linda on the karaoke. kellie bright was excellent. stan's face was a picture. alfie is getting on my wick. if i were sharon i'd shoot phil.
I didn't find the big argument between Johnny and Linda very convincing - on his side, not hers. Kellie Bright's always convincing as Linda.
Dean being disappointed by his mum yet again... :(

a very good episode. excellent scenes with linda and stan, played to perfection by timothy and kellie. also nice scenes with ian and mick.

dean seemed to be enjoying himself at the end of the episode and the duff duff seemed to be longer tonight. :D
pre watershed as well. :)
I loved last night's episode. Well-written and beautifully acted character-led stories. I'm not ashamed to admit I had tears in my eyes during several of the scenes. I thought Ian really shone as well as the Carters.
Linda didn't seem to notice that Dean was getting a bit handy there!
