Ben started distancing from Phil and when phil went into his bedoom started covering himself up - probably because Stella was ill treating him. Phil talked over his worries with Kevin and Max - saying Ben is fine with Stella and peggy but not with him. Though sceptical when Kevin pointed out puberrty might be the reason he talked to Ben. When Ben started to try to tellhim what was happening Phil completely confused him by sying he knew and that it happens to all men and its normal and natural and would tell Ben more when Ben started to like girls.
Thursday's wasn't too bad, with some down to earth scenes in the Vic. Friday however was back to 'gauging eyes out' viewing. I thought the Phil/Ben misunderstanding was stupid, but nothing compared to the awful acting of Carly and Deano, and Kevin. Add some 'helpful' advice from Sir Gus of Camelot (not about sausage poetry for a change) and Mickey Miller and it's like a plague of bubonic blisters.
But a lot less fun:wall: :) :DQuote:

I actually like Deano's acting especially the scene where he told Libby imagine Chelsea dead. I can't stand Carly though and her mood swings! Does she really have to shout all the time?! I wish the writers made her character a bit more fun loving.
So what did Stella say or do to Ben?
My little girl cried so I didn't understand and couldn't see because the sun was to bright. (Saw the omnibus):hmm:
Brilliant episode. Loved everything about it, with Pat and Shirley's fight being the best moment of the episode. Shirley had a classic line with "How did he die? Did you get on top and crush him?" referring to Pat's late husband Roy. Classic line and it had me laughing! It was unrealistic with the police turning up straight away though, and it did let it down a bit, but Shirley and Pat trading insults and having that fight definetly lived up to expectations! Brilliant!
The stag/hen parties were good to watch. It was great to see people enjoying themselves, and Denise was on top form when she made her drunken speech. I'm also glad Deano forgave and forgot, and joined in his dad's stag party, wanting him to be happy.
The Stella stuff was good, this storyline is progressing really well. Dot and baby George stuff was ok.
The Li stuff was boring and brought the episode down for me.
And i loved the ending, it really had that shock horror "dum dum dum" theme back in it when Shirley said "I slept with him. Just. Last. Month" Fantastic episode!
Was it just me, or did the police woman who told Pat and Shirley to keep it down sound remarkably like Denise? I thought the bit where Stella was manipulating Ben with the scores and guessing how many it was out of was really well written. I thought the hen night scenes wouldn't be that good with the timing of it during the episode, but I thought they were great.
I thought tonght's episode was really good and I love Denise's hair - I hope she lets it down more often.
I thought he had the one night stan with Shirley when he left Denise. I mean he walked out on her and they were not together at the time and then got back togther lter so does it count as cheating?
Loved the Stella/Ben stuff. I wonder what Phil would do if he found out. I mean if it is a man he normallly hits the man but because its a woman he can't do that.
I suppose it does. Kevin probably expected Denise to be more forgiving than she initially was, knowing about Jimbo and then with all the Carly/Deano stuff coming out. They never actually said in words that the relationship had ended.
Yes, it was good to see that the Eastenders scriptwriters haven't lost their touch after all...that police van turning up straight away was just brilliant - so realistic. :wall:
I was sooooooo bored with the whole episode..I am actually looking forward seeing Stacey back on our screen and messing around with old wrinkly chest Max.
Growing reefer in Gus' pantry ??? Lemme think:hmm: :hmm: didn't Martin try the similar thing in Arthurs allotment shed ??????? I am suprised Mickey didn't tell GUS,, actually it is Gus' apartment he could have broke the lock himself and threw Li and Mickey out on the streets !!!!!!!! Li comes up with the biggest SOB :crying: :crying: stories and Mickey thinking with his lil head swallows the stories....:wall:

Yeah. They can't very well say that they were on patrol in the area and that they put their lights on when they saw the fight, because there was no traffic, and there's been plenty of crime in the area, and they haven't established patrol before.
Yeah Jodi, Martin did try that in the allotment. Derek ended up in trouble for it and lost his job.
:rotfl::rotfl: how funny was Mickey last night at the interview and then the woman coming on to him.. I thought that was brilliant
Love the Pat and Shirley stuff.. both fab actors and they work very very well together..
I know I'm going to be told it's only a soap but...
1. Mickey's interview. How come it was arranged so quickly? I don't think big organisations work quite in that way! Also, the HR Manager said she had carried out over 6000 job interviews. If she'd been HR Manager say for 12 years that works out to two per day. Doesn't she do anything else? And, again, if she has so many interviews to carry out, how come Mickey was fitted in within hours?
2. What father - even Phil - what not take his son on holiday just because of an incident at school? I find that just totally unrealistic. Also, how did Stella know he would react like that and for the offence of writing on the walls would the school really call the parents in???
I'm sorry but I do find these sort of things irritating and I know we have to suspend belief to some extent because it's a soap but I have to say I never find this sort of thing happening in Coronation Street.
I must admit I enjoyed this weeks episodes.
Pat and Shirley are two of Eastenders best characters, and are the closest thing to oldshcool Eastenders. Pat St Clement and Linda Henry have done great with this roles recently and really made the show for me this week. The bitch fight has to be a classic Eastenders moment, best scene easily by far this year.
I dont care what some of you think about Kevin, I like him, him and Denise make a great couple. Diane Parish is great in the role, and the scenes in the toilet on Friday were well acted and well written by the writers. A few episodes that actually entertained me and gave me hope that Eastenders isn't a total waste of time.
I am one of few who like the May/Rob/Dawn storyline, and also Stella abusing Ben, so these are two great storylines to look forward to in the coming months, along with Stax and Tanya.
No way is Eastenders out of the **** yet, but I can see hints of an improvment on the way...
just want to add to what Bry said.. the bit just before Denise gets married and Kevin comes in the door barely able to walk cracked me up :rotfl::rotfl: it was a fantastic week made good by the actors involved in the main storylines
I am so glad Denise and Kevin married. Denise is so right. They are definitely soulmates.
This week has been really good on Eastenders. I love Shirley i think she has been a great addition to the cast. I also love Denise Kevin and Pat (legendary character). Great week of episodes.
Typical Stacey, telling Max she is off for a night clubbing, then going to her mum's.
Liking the build up of the George/Thomas stuff - poor Honey's going to feel terrible and she doesn't really know why Dot's getting so stressed, and especially in her condition.
I really liked May's sister - she's far better in my eyes than May was when she started. She annoyed me by telling her sister she's pregnant, she could have said she had a miscarriage. Eventually she'd have to explain where Rob is and why there's no baby - it's not like they haven't split up over a miscarriage before.
Looking forward to knowing where they go with her in the storyline.
May/Rob storyline is dragging on for far too long. Who plays May's sister?Quote:

LMAO :rotfl: That was so exaggerated tonight. I can't figure out why Phil didn't get his car taken, seeing as Rob did, and they were parked in near enough the same position. I can't believe it actually got the height to break the window, and surely it shouldn't be able to get a hole that big?
That's going straight on DVD on Sunday.
I love the scenes with bradders and stacey, they are so cute, as they were acting childish even around the play station and having a laugh as they was deciding who should play next, it was a funny episode tonight and a poor sick bradley.
Bradders and stace are like big kids around each other over the playstation as bradders has a playstation at home and they were both having a laugh together and even stacey was enjoying herself. Also stace was lecturing bradders over what he was eating and why he was sick. They were cute together and belong together most defintely as a couple.
Also stace did not look too happy when she saw preeti with bradley at the end, looked like stacey was jealous of her around bradley.
I hope that bradders and stace end up together down the line as a couple again after the stax fallout together again way down the line as bradders brings out stace nice side and stace only shows that side to him and not to may other people in the square.
Also the builders were annoying and beale was funny and mad may really
How brilliant was the argument between May & Dawn, some great acting from May!
A pretty good episode tonight. I really enjoyed it, with my favourite moment being the Dawn and May confrontation at the end. The rivalry between the pair is a brilliant watch, and it was such a great climax up to Dawn's fall down the steps. May really is mad, we could see from her argument with Dawn that she's completely dellusional about Rob going back to her once Dawn's baby is born. It's great to see that Rob and Dawn are determined to be together, they obviously love each other dearly, as they're staying together despite May's efforts to split them up. It's gripping viewing to watch May slowly crack, as she reaches extreme lengths to try and split Dawn and Rob up.
I also enjoyed the scenes with Ian tonight, it provided such light hearted comedy and there were such funny scenes between him and the builders, the scenes cracked me up where he threatened to report them to the local council. This light hearted comedy was nice and i loved the scene at the beginning when Phil was reading out Ian's letter...Phil was right "it was a load of rubbish" :lol:
The Deano/Shirley scenes were ok as were the Squiggle scenes with Carly. I like the scenes between Carly and Squiggle, it looks like a good friendship could form between the pair.
I liked the scenes with Bradley too. Stacey going over to look after Bradley whilst he was ill sows the seed for the pair to get closer again, and there was a clear uncomfortable atmosphere with the scene when Preeti arrived and all three of them were in the living room. A great scene there!
8/10.
I'm surprised Ian has any customers left, throwing Garry out like that. That's so the other year - he did that to Big Mo. Found it strange that they didn't try to smash up Ian's camera, and give him something to really moan about.
There will be no paper left in that house, what with Ian either writing, or insisting upon the writing of many notes these days, lol.
Likewise with Ian's note to Phil. I'm surprised Phil took it so lightly and didn't try to make a prat out of him even more after the scene in the cafe on Friday.
I thought the bit with Dawn by the door was so exaggerated - it was as if she was waiting for May to come, and not putting everything into getting out of the door.
Hmm I was annoyed at the amount of times the writers made Ian look like a fool tonight. Enough already! It's not even funny, if it's supposed to be.
loved the May/Dawn stff, it is just as good as the Ben/Stella stuff.
I quiet liked it.. we all know someone like that who will report anything and think they are above everyone else cause they have a nicer house/car/job etc... and yes you really do want them to fall flat on their face and be made a prat off.. I think Adam plays Ian to a tee... I love watching him..Quote:

May is brilliant.. she has completely lost the plot!! Ian and Phil I found quiet funny but poor Ian always comes out the worse.. you think he would learn to leave it
The stuff with Ian and Phil was fantastic. I dont like May shes up to something and she is so manipulative
I agree with you, CrazyLea...there's not many of us around! Ian would not have got to be such an astute businessman if he was such a fool. I thought some of last night's action with Phil and Ian was just plain silly.Quote:
