I liked the ending with Phil at the grave side and using Peggy's theme was very effective, very EastEnders. The Mitchells were not a particularly nice family lets face it and it was rather appropriate that none of Peggy's Children were there when she was buried. Stand out performances, Anna Karen, Letitia Dean and of course Steve Mcfadden. If I am being over critical it probably could have been better in places, it seemed a little disjointed. Line of the night goes to Aunt Sal when she said to Ben "you can always tell a pansy by his manners."
I felt Sam was showing too much cleavage for attending a funeral. Why did Grant not attend the funeral but watched from afar?Quote:

did gavin just kill his sister
I can´t see them bring back Kathy from the dead only to kill her "again" shortly afterwards .. but then again ...:pQuote:

I did jump at the body dropping on the car which does look like Margaret despite her and Kathy both wearing black
I do see some some bits of Peggy in Sam
Gavin is not a believable villain, he is not even panto good :p
Shirley after Phil again :thumbsdow
Ian giving Jay advice was good to see, part of the redemption of Ian but it will take a whole lot
Nothing can redeem Ian! 😡Quote:

It looks like I'll be taking an extended break like parkerman's doing.
I have only been able to see the odd episodes since the Lucy murder which was by choice... not regretted it one minute as I do not miss it after watching religiously for many years ...:ninja:
I agree with both of you about Eastenders. It hasn't been good for some time, but DTC really finished it off!
He had this great idea about Bobby being Lucy's murderer - no-one would guess that; what a shocker; lots of awards - but never really thought it through about what it would mean for the other characters and it just grew more and more ridiculous as he apparently couldn't see any way out of the situation he'd created without losing lots of his star actors. The final straw for me was the police saying they wouldn't follow up Ian and Jane being responsible for sending an innocent man to jail because "they'd suffered enough already." Absolute total rowlocks!!!
if only, that would be highly amusing. :DQuote:

I cant shake the theme from Howards Way.
Jan Howard, all filmed down here and in my local pub when I lived in Burseldon.
So how did Vince I mean thingy is affording this huge house?
The final reveal has been a disaster, a complete failQuote:

I have studied the property market enough to know that was gazillions not just a few quid house.
Gavin is a super-villain though to be able to throw her so far from the house...
Sharon gave Gavin £150,000 if I remember correctly, so definitely not enough for a manor house. Perhaps he's rented it for a short time or borrowed it from a criminal contact?
i vaguely remember gavin saying to his sister he got it with money from sharon, it did look a costly state home maybe borrowed to impress kathy
I won't be far behind you and I am a staunch supporter of the show, well I was.Quote:

Cartoonish is right.
Bodies flying through the air...
I am just hoping someone rings 999.
See, you're making me crave watching the episode so I can see for myself just how bad it is. I'm going to try and resist the lure though... :pQuote:

Gavin is so delusional.
Did hell freeze over? Did Phil say that Paul is family? Ben bonding with Pam was really sweet too. Today's episode was great. I have to say of the three soaps, these days EastEnders come out on top. Great storytelling all around.

Yes, I'm serious. Corrie is on the boring side lately (only exception being the tilly storyline). I don't care about any of Emmerdale's lame storylines. At least EastEnders was fun to watch tonight.Quote:

Except for the occasional episode or two (such as Peggy's death), I think DTC left EE - mentally at least - after live week. Maybe he was burned out, maybe he just lost interest or perhaps all the acclaim went to his head, but it seems to me he stopped putting in 100% after that.Quote:

I kept expecting him to confront her but he never did.
And after all that, Kathy's barely done anything of note since she returned. :wall:
The less said about the end of the Lucy storyline the better... :thumbsdow
RIP Jan Howard from Howards way, I loved that show, a mate of mine won the boat Tom Howard was supposed to of made at his boat yard in the show, at the Southampton Boat show.
Anywho back on topic.. wow did they make the most of the huge house they had rented for the day for those scenes Was anyone else cheering on Vince sorry I mean whats his face to do in Kathy as well, maybe she could of fallen on Sharon :cartman:
Poor Westbrook, her last scenes for me denoted how desperate she is to come back long term, they did give her the leaving in the taxi bit but no Julias theme which would of amused me if they had.
Fishy Fred really has very poor chpice in women and now Philth knows. his jig is up. watch out Shirley dosent Bobbit you son :rotfl:
As you know, I've given up on EE after the dreadful denouement of the Lucy/Bobby story.
However, I see Gavin is mentioned a few times here. So has he turned out to be the most villainous soap villain of all time as promised? He 'd have to go it some to beat Ian and Jane in my book!
No !
