Is Andy connected to Danielle and Joel or Carl?
I thought Kathy was going to blurt out Bobby is a killer to Buster and has to stay away at boarding school, did her and Buster do more than kiss?
Martin and Kush are friends again, when did that happen :searchme:
I thought maybe Glenda was working with Roxy trying to con money from Ronnie and Jack, is she gone now?
The acting in the scene where Kathy and Buster kissed was sooooo cringeworthy...

I think by the latest reckoning Buster is the only person in the whole of Walford, apart from the police, who doesn't know that Bobby is the killer.

By the way, just as a matter of interest, does anyone know what's happened to the worst villain in the whole of soap history?
In case you don't recognise the description, I mean Gavin of course.

Last thing I remember he drove off with his sister Margaret. Wasn't there some talk of a plan he was going to set in motion?
What a let down the character's been... :thumbsdow

Congrats to EastEnders for winning the Bafta tonight for the Best continuing drama, not sure they deserved it, I would have given it to Holby, but at least it didn't go to Coronation Street.
Pleased so many luvvies were sticking up for the BBC, (who won over half of the awards) ahead of the White paper on the BBC coming out next week.

I agree but think he may re-emerge as one of
many "new" characters rumoured to be introduced by
new director.
After all Soap viewers are known to be a bit dim
and forgetful ( in SWs eyes) . Probably wont
notice or remember earlier storyline:nono:

I must admit I did enjoy the Carter scenes tonight and I found Shirley highly amusing coming out of the Caf with a sarnie. Andy is turning out to be an intriguing character.

Belinda's a very entertaining character and the actress fits right into the show. I think Belinda would eat Mick alive given half a chance! :eek:
Monday's was a surprisingly good episode considering very little of note actually happened until Peggy's appearance in the last scene.

I do like Belinda and think she clearly fancies Mick
I know Peggy isn't a popular character on here, but I've always enjoyed the character and am already feeling sad about her impending death. I thought the juxtaposition of Peggy and Sonia's hospital appointments was effective.
Belinda and Gary...what a saucy pair they are. How are Mick and Linda going to get out of that? :p

Urgh! It was horrid. Did you see the keys being dropped in to the bowl when she took his car keys off him?

I can't work out whether Phil's been in contact with his mum or not. I suppose they did part on very bad terms, but it seems unthinkable Phil would have ignored her since the cancer reveal. I'm pretty sure Ronnie didn't know because she'd have made sure she visited Peggy.

Im all sorts of uninterested in the story lines. As a gamblerholic I hated the adverts for online gambling Windsor did, was she that hard up she had to lure inocents into wasting their hard earned from the comfort of their soon to be repossed home?
The carp story makes me chuckle, a relative did the same stealing coy. bragged about it ... it didnt end well.. in this case no coy could be proved as missing, Mick could cla9m he was there on the invite of the couple now they had been invited and as such the Police cant use most cctv in eveidence, I know all about that one. I suspect the swinging routine is a wind up.. something they can laugh about and then become best mates over.
Wow I love Shirley, how fishy fred could pick mizz whiney sob story over her gawd knows.

I liked the Mitchell family scenes but would Ben and Louise be so friendly and on good terms with Peggy, were they all in contact while she has been away?
The Peggy and Phil scenes were especially good
Peggy did say she was going out on her terms or something similar to that, I believe she dies next week
I could have done without the Carters not funny drama
Belinda works best as the flirty fun witty sarcastic Slater, keep her like that as now she is staying around, I don't want Mick to stray

It sounds like she has low self esteem under the brassy exterior. Maybe she thinks she can't live without a man?

No one stays cheery once they've moved to Albert Square. You should knew that by now Tammy! :p
I don't think Mick's interested in her.
The Peggy and Phil scenes were especially good
They were - the old chemistry's still there. I think Barbara Windsor is a perfectly competent actor when she's not hamming it up, and of course Steve is always convincing.

I am not usually a fan of Peggy and Barbara Windsor, perhaps because I was always such a fan of Wendy Richard and Pauline. However credit where credit is due, I did find the scenes with Peggy and Phil rather moving, especially going back to where they used to live.
As much a I love our capital city and I do, (it is my favourite city no question) the scenes did feel a little bit like a travel log. I half expected Judith Chalmers to pop up on that boat on the Thames.
Nice scenes with Shirley, Sharon and Kathy. The best part of the episode for me were the scenes with Peggy and Dot and the poignant look Peggy gave when passing Pat's house, as if to say "won't be long before I see you, you old cow."

Quite frankly, I am heartily sick of this Peggy storyline. Eastenders are just indulging her in her own egotistical delusion that she is the greatest thing ever to happen to Eastenders. The national treasure who decided to grace our screens with her presence. Now she's decided to go, of course, she has to be treated like royalty and everything else has to stop for her and her own fantasy that she is a legend.
Yes, she played a big part in Eastenders (not very well in my opinion) but so did a lot of other people, the 30 year history of the show is not and never was all about her. It's almost as if Eastenders itself is dying. Well it won't and personally, I haven't missed her while she's been absent and won't now.

I so agree with bells on......Windsor like I said before disgusted me advertising online gambling, just like Cilla Black did when she advertised the call a spiritual medium company on a premium rate number.. did they not quite grasp that they were selling their souls.
Anywho .. last night bored me ridgid.. Im depressed enough already without this ongoing pity party fribble.

:wall:[QUOTE=Perdita;848439]I can imagine that when you know you only have a very short time left on this planet, your attitude to other people or opinions changes...
I agree. People who are dying think about those
who really matter to them. Sharon&Kathy may
have affected those who mattered to Peggy -
but they themselves werent important- so wouldn't
waste time on them.
I agree with Parkermans earlier post that the
Peggy Exit story has been overdone-so wouldn't
want it to be even more unrealistic!:wall:
I'm on team "I'm enjoying Peggy's final episodes", although I do agree it's over the top and that other, more iconic, characters haven't had such a monumental send off.
That's down to DTC more than anyone however. I think he called Peggy/Barbara the queen of Walford when Peggy's death was first announced. I know that both Wendy Richard and Pam St Clement were both killed off because they fell out with the executive producer(s) of the time. So they were never going to get such a sentimental send-off. Wendy's in particular was insulting!
I turned on iPlayer on Thursday night to watch that day's EE but it hadn't yet been uploaded. So, instead, I watched Back to Ours featuring Barbara Windsor and Pam St Clement. It was an entertaining and nostalgic watch, and I found it apparent from Babs' attitude that she truly loves EE, Peggy and her EE family. She didn't come across to me as egotistical about it at all - and this is from someone who's criticised her in the past about the damehood and gambling ads. I'm still no fan of Barbara Windsor, but I don't believe she's as self important as some of you do - at least not about her place in EE's history. She's proud to have been a part of it.
There have been some lovely scenes between Peggy and Phil, and Peggy and Dot (who knew she was saying goodbye for the last time :() and others. I'm looking forward to the Peggy/Phil/Grant scenes too.
You haters haven't got many more episodes to tolerate Peggy's send-off! :p
It's almost as if Eastenders itself is dying.
As I said in my last post, I believe this feeling has as much to do with DTC as anyone. Peggy's final storyline was his swansong and he'll have put everything into it. EE isn't dying, but maybe DTC's departure felt a bit like a bereavement to him? Coupled with Peggy's death, the whole EE team were likely in mourning planning and filming these episodes.
That's my take on the over-the-top sentimentality of these episodes anyway. :)

Just started watching the weeks eps. This is just a thought, but can anybody refresh my memory. I vaguely recall a scene from EE years ago, with Ronnie's daughter Danielle and her adopted father. I recall him mentioning her brother wanted her at his wedding or something. Did Danielle have an adopted brother? If so, then I'm wandering if this Andy might be him? He mentioned having a sister, and it would explain his obsession with Ronnie (revenge).

That would seem to indicate that this is indeed Danielle's brother then. If he's planning something sinister, he most likely wouldn't use his own name, and used his fathers' first one instead. Of course, this is still all speculation. He might just be your typical creepy soap stalker.

I think Barbara as a big Carry On acting star joining the soap was a very deal at the time when she started playing Peggy
The Mitchell family are such an synonymous family with the show and being the matriarch and also pub landlady for a long time she is going to get a big send off
I am enjoying her "last orders" send off as so far some great emotional scenes very well acted
im still hoping for a peg slap on claudette, is there a showdown between them before she dies which is next tuesday that peg dies

I thought Monday's episode was excellent. It was just as much about Phil as Peggy, so I hope viewers who dislike the latter still enjoyed it. The mother and her two boys are reunited at last and I can't wait for their scenes tomorrow.
I am wondering whether Phil and Peggy are really discussing her suicide? Their words have been written very carefully to make it sound like that without being specific. Still,
she apparently dies tomorrow so that doesn't leave much time for anything else to kill her. Perhaps something could happen to her brain (such as a stroke or an aneurysm) since it's apparent that organ's seriously affected by the cancer? :hmm:
I thoroughly enjoyed Ian and Phil's, and Peggy and Stacey's chats.

A nice mention of Pauline in tonight's episode, good scenes with Phil and Peggy. I think it may be too late to try and make Ian likeable again, it does not wash with me sorry. Ian and Jane are ruined characters. Liked the look Peggy gave Claudette. It was as though Peggy had trod in something smelly.
Grants entrance was a bit of an anti climax and that Duff Duff at the end seemed to go on for ever with the camera zooming onto Ross Kemps face.

I disagree. :p
Ian and Jane have done a terrible thing and must pay for it (I suspect Jane will go (one way or another) leaving Ian bereft - plus he's likely to lose Bobby for the foreseeable future), but at least they did what they did out of love. Compare that to a character like Phil who hurts everyone around him because he takes pleasure in it. He's also just as guilty of covering for Bobby (as are others), so I don't think Ian and Jane come off too badly in comparison.
I believe Ian can be redeemed when he's lost everything as a consequence of the cover up (which of course includes allowing Max to go to prison). Today's scene between Ian and Phil proved to me that even the most unlikable characters can be compelling. It really depends if the acting and writing is good enough to elicit the audience's sympathy. I find Phil the most detestable character currently in EE but Steve McFadden is able to make me sympathise with Phil's current predicament almost against my wishes.
I certainly don't condone Ian and Jane's crimes and wouldn't associate with them in real life (and wouldn't hesitate in turning them in), but as soap characters I can still enjoy watching them. I must admit that wasn't the case earlier in the year when they conspired to send Max down but, unlike in real life, we can be fairly certain all this will come out sooner or later and there'll be serious repercussions for them.
I'm always aware of the ticking time bomb when I watch them which adds tension to their scenes. I do think the whole storyline could (and should) have been written much better and in a way that we could sympathise more with their desperate predicament. I just hope the denouement to this tale is handled more skilfully.

I have mixed feelings about Ian and Jane. Ian's an idiot, but then that's nothing new. Jane; I understand she did what she did because she has a mother's love for Bobby, and he's the closest thing she has to a son because she can't have kids. However, there's no excuse for what they've done to Max, and they've clearly ignored all the signs that Bobby is mentally damaged. This and next week's story was inevitable. I mean, you can't just send someone off to a posh school and automatically assume that things will get better. Bobby clearly needs way more help than a mere talking to at a strict school can do.
On the plus side, it looks like Ian won't have to sell to Cosmart anymore, since I doubt the school will want Bobby back after they learn about his attack on Jane.

but though it is usually very sad when
a woman cant have.childrenof her own-
as they would be good mothers - there
is a small minority like Jane who are more
of a "smother".
Too much about what they want rather than

He does seem to have a personality
disorder(I not sure which)but having
a "mother" like Jane will probably
have re-inforced it!!

Ive not seen it either. When I am able
to will.be interested to see how the issues
are resolved!
nice having pat back, you bitch you cow :p
Pat's appearance was the highlight of Peggy's final episode for me, and I thought Ross Kemp was quite strong - especially considering he doesn't act much any more. I'm glad it was nicely downplayed for the most part and there were no histrionics.
It was "you bitch, you cow" that started my tears off - pure nostalgia for me. I thought the stopping of the clock at the end was a moving touch.
I did hope Peggy wouldn't commit suicide though, and I thought Sharon and Grant's chemistry felt manufactured and slightly cringeworthy. And what was the point of the toilet storyline in that episode?
I enjoyed it overall even though it was too sentimental for my taste in parts.
Tordrid dribble .....bog awful sentimental pish :angel:
It was my birthday and I was slightly falling over drunk and cant even remember more than the crapers being carried about :o
Oh and Granty boy wanting his money back. which makes me presume hes here for a bit.

I wasn't particularly moved by Peggy's suicide, felt Pat's death was sadder and pulled at the strings more for me
I did enjoy the vision of Pat again, good on Pam for returning considering Barbara didn't for her exit
Grant returned to see his dying mother for a few hours with no Sam, baby Ricky or Courtney :angry:
Sharon and Grant still have chemistry
I thought the best part of the episode was after the end credits rolled :D, and when the Bobby and Jane Beale trailer was shown ,worth waiting for. Having said that still don't think this will conclude the storyline. D.T.C. said upon the announcement of his retirement he intended to leave certain storylines open for the new exec producer to deal with. Max not due back supposedly until Sept ?:hmm:

didn't see it but saw the script in the paper and it seems very moving

Actually, when I got to this bit I remembered the time they got drunk in the Ice cream van.. One of the best scenes with Peggy and Pat

Always a good plan when you're completely at a sticky bit. Of course he might have left half a dozen story line options for the next one to look through. Or not.
How can the truth come out without several other people going to prison? Oh it's EE land community service for 3 hours and don't do it again.

Jane confesses and swears nobody else knew? That might not be realistic in real life but in soap land...
