Current Episode Discussion - August to Oct

i thought tonights was ok. i'm liking the scenes between Mickey, Dawn and Mike, some good interestign drama. but i think the ones between Minty, Garry, Gus and Juley are a little pointless.

not sure about the comment Dawn made 'he looks like you' to mike. :lol: but agrred with his answer 'he's a handsome little sod.' lol

hopefully a little more interesting on thursday but i think its good to have a break fomr the square, annoying Chrissie and Kat/Alfie/Mo

Yesterday was ok but enough is enough it's time to head back to walford

yea i didn't really watch very much of it cause i got bored

Oh, and Gus -- listing off all the reasons of why you're boring and pointless, doesn't make it any less so.

Was the comment about how nobody notices him intentional? :lol:

i agree. i feel we are know gtting to know mickey a little more. beofre his family arrives he was an poutsider a bit liek gus and juley, now he has a family he's more of a usual character and know we are egttin to know th history behind him and all of the millers. i think its a good story between him, dawn and their dad.

i agree the rest is boring.

I don't really like these episodes in France - the episodes when EE go abroad are always somewhat naff and they only really work with stronger characters. For example I loved the times when Grant and Phil went to Italy, Spain and France with some other characters. Not all the characters that went on these trips with Grant and Phil were great characters but the episodes were good because Grant and Phil were so strong as characters and the storyline and script was always generally good.

I think the problem with these episodes is that all the characters on the trip are weak and boring and the storyline and script is weak. I know these episodes are meant to be a entrance for Dawn and more backstory for the Millers but I'm sure they could have done this in a better way.

Also, I wish that EE would stop trying to do comedy like Corrie and other soaps. They just cannot do it and I think they should not have to. Every soap is different and there is nothing wrong with EE being a soap with less comedy, especially OTT comedy, than soaps like Corrie. EE has never been about OTT comedy, it has been subtle dark humor and one liners from Den, Dot and others.

I am a big EE fan and I want EE back to where it should be and I think they will if they just stop the 'hilarious' over the top comedy attempts and stick to what they do best - great drama mixed in with light hearted moments and great one liners.

Sorry about the long post, but I really don't like these episodes although Dawn seems alright, as long as a) she is nothing like Zoe Slater and b) does not become involved in a love triangle. I want her to be like Tiffany and Bianca, a strong female that knows what she wants.

gawd these episodes are well boring. cant wait till we're back on the square. im falling asleep these days
