Unless it's another spoiler booby:lol:

So at least Louisa knows what the Ruby&Jake storyline should be about even if the writers don't. :p

To Babe14: I'll be on holiday next week, so we'll both be watching the omnibus for these episodes. Just telling you so you don't think that they're either so wonderful or appalling that I'm speechless, lol. :rotfl:

---

:rotfl: and thank you for keeping me/us updated about everything.

As you may or may not of noticed I'm not posting much at the moment, (anywhere)reason being that I can't really be bothered, plus I have other things which I want to get on with:)

Have a wonderful holiday and don't worry I'll pop on and discuss the Jake scenes with you. (and maybe we'll even discuss a bit of Emmerdale):)

Thanks again

P.S. Easties was O.k last week, a bit slow but I enjoyed Max/Bradley scenes and the way Max was trying to help Stacey/Bradley.

P.S.S Do you want me to write any synopsis etc in the E/dale thread for you?

It's okay, I know how it is when things get busy -- I'm off to uni in a few weeks so I'm not sure how often I'll be able to come on the board myself. I hope I'll be able to pop in as well to discuss Jake's exit, and of course I'll still be watching Emmerdale (unlike a certain other soap once a certain character leaves ;) :p ) so I'm gonna carry on posting there when I can.

No, it's okay. I'll be recording Emmerdale so I'll be able to watch it when I get back. Thanks for the offer though. :D

Good luck with uni:)

To be honest I just roughly watch Easties, I'm nearly always doing things whilst it's on so I hardly ever sit through the full two hours these days, I record at the same time in case I miss anything. I think Sean Slater will be turned into Grant II which will ruin the first impression you had of the character, but still it is to be expected:lol: :rolleyes:

I'm sure will catch up with each other in the Jake thread at some point regarding his exit storyline, which I have a feeling could be a disappointment (Go on Easties prove me wrong...:lol: ) In the future though I think I may well end up ditching Easties altogether, Emmerdale however is a different matter.:)

Joining in I did try and stay loyal to eastenders but it is so boring these days even I dont want to watch it anymore,apart from the odd moment with jake it is very boring,

the only thing on tv which I have is hollyoaks which keeps me sane.

If ee where to end tommrow I now wouldnt care because right now brooksides dying day was more exciting

when Jake goes there wont be one character that I actually like how sad is that!?

(oh wait I tolerate mickey miller and *ahem* gus)

Thank you. :) I'm looking forward to it, but I don't think the "living away from home for the first time," has really hit me yet. :lol:

It's looking like his exit is just a plot point in the Ruby/Sean storyline, :rolleyes: Like Danny, we'll probably get one episode of "Let's rush through all the character development," and then a crappy exit. (Except Danny's exit wasn't so crappy.)

My problem isn't even that I don't like them. It's that I don't care about most of them. I'd rather hate all the characters than have just complete indifference to them.

I did like Stacey/Bradley but now that's beginning to annoy me. And I like Max -- but not enough to keep me watching just for him.

Yeah that's the impression I have too.:angry:

Stacey/Bradley are very good but they are fast becoming boring, reason I see Overuse,as was Denise/Kevin etc, characters who are in your face all the time, even the ones we adore will become boring if they hog all the action.
Max is good but how long will it be before he too becomes overused. Sean Slater I'm going off already after only two weeks, reason being I can see him being a victim of cloned personality.

IMO Jake was his own character one with a different personality from what we had before, o.k there were some slight resemblences to past/pres characters but not a lot, however he was hardly ever used and apart from the Johnny/Danny stuff , was never given any juicy storylines. The Ruby/Jake realtionship has been handled wrongly and has become a big disappointment. A lot of the Jake scenes now seem pointless, all they have Jake doing is clearing glasses and walking back and forth behind the bar at Scarlets or arguing with Brat. They have handled the characters personality correctly but with the other hand have destroyed the character.

So once Jake has left Easties will lose three more viewers who will be more dedicated than ever to their preferred soap: D1 - Hollyoaks, BK and Babe14 Emmerdale.

I think this is another problem as well because of how badly they've used Jake's character this year and messed up other characters as well -- I don't "trust" the show anymore. So now even when I like characters like Max, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for them to mess him up aswell. :mad:

And I think they will. At the moment with Max we are finding out a lot about Jim's past which I like and there seems to be a lot of twist and turns in both Max's character and the "family" history. I liked the more caring side of max which we saw last week, I really thought he'd be all for getting rid of the baby.
I agree you can't trust the "show" anymore. I think this is the worst producer they have ever had. I've started watching a couple of old episodes on Gold (Andy Hunter:wub: when he started to come into the show) and you can see how it has gone down hill since 2003. (Producers at the time were Julia Smith/Tony Holland, shame they aren't around anymore, ah the good old days that were..and I'm sure they wouldn't of under used Jake or ruined the characters potential.

PO Spoilers:

Tuesday 26th September
Elsewhere, Jake is annoyed when Sean skips work to spend time with Ruby.

Friday 29th September
Meanwhile, Jake is uncomfortable with Sean working at the club. He tells Ruby that things aren't working out but, when he can't give her a reason to get rid of Sean, she insists he stays. Later, Jake thinks that he can play Sean at his own game but it doesn't all go to plan.

...


I bet Jake's exit is running scared from Sean. :wall: :rolleyes: Because he can look Johnny Allen and his gun in the face and tell him to go to hell, but Sean Slater and his inane grin is "OMG, too much to handle!?!?11!" Whatever, EastEnders. WTFever. :rolleyes:


Just leave the brat to it, Jakey. Alternatively, seeing as you have access to the club accounts -- clean them out and go on a very long holiday. :p


Edit: The other exit storyline I would accept is if it turned out Jake was masterminding the entire thing -- pretending to be scared of Sean, so that he "has" to get Johnny involved, knowing that things between Johnny and Sean would most likely escalate into a fight that Johnny wouldn't win -- all in order to get revenge on Johnny for what he did to Danny. Not to mention leaving him in charge of Ruby for the past few months.

...And then Jake cleans out the club accounts and goes on a very long holiday. :p

Now, admittedly, this would also be a character change for Jake, as he hasn't previously shown any inclination towards this sort of behaviour...but in this case, I really wouldn't care.

lol How funny is that...

that really made me laugh,

I know sean is meant to be a big bad psycho and whatever but EE in all fairness Jake isnt a little boy he can handle himself they cant expect us to belive after he watched andy die,stood by chrissie and killed danny that jake would actually be scared of a SLATER........

as there is no confirmation maybe jake gets killed? or maybe jhonny asks him to help him escape and he gets arrested by the police?

that is a very sad way to put it....and sadly jake heaven will then cease to exist.....although I'm sure will be united again when there is "constructive" criticizm of the state of eastenders like the majority of the boards already are doing (e.g boycotting it even further)
