EE is supposed to be undergong a renaissance but Corrie may have gotten complacent of late. They better watch their backs.

Emmerdale and Hollyoaks are overtaking both for meQuote:

With Phil.
so easy to dispose of bodies in eastenders
like nancy carter. a classy touch having the wedding in track suits. :D the family are king of the chav's. delicious to watch.
the episode was extremely ott, hollyoaks style, but very watchable.
i think the lorraine newman era of 'love and warmth' is over. :)
-----------------------------------------
mick is a mix of alfie and grant
why did ronnie take the jump leads and was she fitting phil up for carl's murder by leaving the phone?
I've watched two episdes now and found them a lot better than when I previously watched, so I'll continue watching for now.
I like the Carters a lot, except perhaps for the mum (Linda?), and the scripts were good - particularly New Year's Eve's. I'm dreading seeing some characters I came to despise last time, eg Bianca, but quite a lot of people have been axed since I last watched, so hopefully only the decent actors are left.
I'm pleased to report EE is looking up, Perdy :)
I can't say I agree with you, Dazzle. I thought last night's episode in particular was dire. It's as though Eastenders has realised it's rubbish and is now playing on its own shortcomings in the hope of winning some sort of niche audience who are going to watch out for all the ott nonsense and count up the mistakes and the highly improbable happenings. It seems to have given up all pretence of being a serious rival to Corrie as a realistic drama of everyday folk and is becoming some sort of not real make-pretend escapist show set in a make believe land. Which I suppose is ok if you want that sort of thing.
I agree with you about improbable happenings, parkerman :D I suppose I put that down to it being a "special" episode. I'm interested to watch the everyday episodes now to see if the overall quality has improved.
The trouble is that Corrie's been pretty dire lately (except for Roy and Hayley) and is leaving me unsatisfied, so I'm hoping EE will fit the bill :searchme:
I thought we were going to see Amy witness Carls murder last night.
And then in a decade when she starts actually speaking!!!, it comes back to haunt Ronnie?
.....
I think that EE is quite good at the moment :)
Loved last night's episode:thumbsup:
Ronnie :ninja: she's left Phil to pick up the pieces :D
I jumped the gun and thought Ronnie had done him on the previous night. Silly me. But at least I got to see her whack him yet again, and this time with success. Good also to see Womack exercise her facial muscles too and drop the emotionless mask. All far fetched of course, but hey, this isn't a documentary is it?
Thought at first it was some sort of symbolic gesture .removing the only useful item out of the car, but maybe not. Also expected a "Goldfinger" style crushing of the car. But looks like Carl's body is going to be found ,so you may be right lizann ,Phil put in the frame for murder. Whose car was it ?Quote:

some funny moments tonight. loved tina talking to denise about skin colour and asking her if she would sleep with a serial killer. priceless. :D
so glad daran little is back writing for this soap.
Yes! Talk about bad memories!!
me thinks i fancy mick carter and just put phil back with shirley
That would have been goodQuote:

I'm warming to the Carters now
I was expecting lots of blood like a scene from Saw when the car was being crushed :p
That was some cringe-making acting in the shout-athon at the end of last night's episode between Nancy and Linda :thumbsdow
I hope the coming out storyline isn't too prolonged because it's getting a bit repetitive to have one every couple of years on EE. The complaints about the recent gay kiss make it obvious there's still plenty of homophobia in the UK today :( but it does get boring watching the same old recycled storylines.
What was all that utter tripe with Kat and Alfie about yesterday? What a complete and utter waste of their talents.
I don't like Kat and Alfie so don't consider them talented I'm afraid. I tend to zone out during their scenes :DQuote:

Who changes a lightbulb while pregnant? Who changes a lightbulb when there is still daylight outside? Who changes a lightbulb in high heels? Who changes a lightbulb immediately following a row? Argh.
If Kat has another miscarriage I'll likely stop watching, the last one was terrible.
so kat is having twins and why hasn't alfie demanded a paternity test, kat does put it about maybe one if alfie's and one is belong to michael or joey
friday's episode was excellent and another great script from daran little.
the end scene with mick and johnny was very touching. great performances from danny dyer and sam strike. line of the night goes to mick: 'so you're the one we should have called nancy.'
i'm sure this episode will get complaints from the daily (curtain twitchin) snail brigade, just like the kiss did between johnny and danny caused outrage. :( it's hard to believe we are in the year 2014.

Eastenders scriptwriters conference: "What can we do today?",
"No idea. It's a bit hard thinking up new stories all the time."
"I've got it. How about a story about someone 'coming out' as gay?"
"Great idea and we can look at the parents' reaction. I don't think we've ever done that before have we?"
"No...well not for a couple of months at least."

Danny Dyer is impressing me as Mick, he can act
Michael's death was too long ago now and Joey was sleeping with Janine at around the time of conception. If they've seen the heartbeat on the scan it must literally have been the night they reunited. Roxy's face will be a picture.Quote:

With Alfie's low sperm count they're likely identical.
With the Carters, I don't think they've had a storyline where a father is immediately supportive. Great to see Shirley's input from the Ben angle too.
I think the writers have had too many liquid lunches.Quote:
