Current Episode Discussion - August to Oct

re: "the good old days of enders" - hindsight and distance is fabulous - yeah, enders had its truly brilliant moments before, but we remember some with rose tinted spectacles - i can remember some of the crap as well - arthur going on a game show, tony hills or whateva his name was being a rubbish bisexual. enders will find its way again - and hopefully not just relying on old stars coming back (see grant, phil, den etc). Kate Harwood said in the radio times that they're concentrating more on character rather than silly storylines, i'll take her at her word, but they need some strong new characters soon before everyone leaves - in 2 years we will be anticipating the return of kat and alfie if they don't!!

I've just remembered - it was Lenny.

Scenes with Peggy were like a pantomime, Sorry but all this "round up as many heavies as you can" come on, then cut to Garry and Minty passed out. These storylines are rubbish - all to accomodate characters leaving. The birthday party was a bit rubbishy too, then deleting texts, another pile of rubbish. I am now at a stage where I dont care if I catch EE or not anymore.

I thought Pauline was AGAIN out of line with MARTIN,, she is an interfering old busy body... Martin and Sonia's marriage is on the line as it is ,. they do not need a MONSTER IN LAW

i know pauline should have kept her nose out of it if she hadnt had persuaded martin he wouldnt have gone

i'm so pleased we are now seeing the really evil side of jonny (about ruddy time!) they should have made him that dark from the start

i though the scenes with him and ruby and peggy were really well done....everything before this was awful in comparison- he is actually menacing now...such a shame he is going

I really really enjoyed last night's episode!!
I know a lot of people are glad that Johnny did that to Peggy last night,but i actually felt really sorry for Peggy,and i thought that Johnyn was really out of order to Ruby!!

i think it serves peggy right for stirring things up

peggy hasnt really sirred things up shes just been there for ruby when she wanted answers and a place to feel safe

i totally agree with you shannisrules, peggy did not deserve to ahve her hand jammed in a door! people on this thread have earlier said that they think eastenders have done a bad job with johnny, i think they have done a really good job with his character, he came in the show really likeable and now he is hated! i think that is a really cleverly thought out storyline.
