Well i have to say this weeks episodes have been fab to watch! EE was back at its best this week, obviously thanks to the Mitchells! I did think for one second that Danny had really shot Grant! I was glad when he didnt though! I wonder if this could be a turn for Phil to change his ways???
Great acting from all those who were in Thurs and Fri nights ep! Im reckoning the ratings soared this week!
Well done EE, they have done well this week!
I'm afraid they haven't, but I am still waiting for Friday's ratings. The figures are still low, in the mid-40s, behind Corrie who are in late 40s/mid 50s. When you consider the return of Grunt in October made the ratings soar into mid 50s, it would seem, despite the PR adverts lately, that the Mitchell magic is possibly wearing off.Quote:

It's not the brothers magic, its some of the writers they have. If they changed their writing style and got more imaginative, not boring like it has been.
Well I don't think the Mitchells were magic. They were OK in the early days but they fell out of favour with me after a while.
Sadly the writing is as equally unmagic on many occasions. Though I thought Sarah did a fair job last night of making something out of a p*ss poor plot.
well the chuckle brothers return hasn't improved their ratings for this week,they didn't beat corrie and the highest they got was 10 million,i also think EE are crafty having everyone watching to see if they beat emmerdale instead of watching how they compare with corrie,since they began they were allways in competition with the street now all of a sudden they prefer to compete with emmerdale making me think they are not trying hard enough anymore and i'm afraid to say with shows like 24 and prison break on i am fast losing interest in ee i'm sick of guessing whats gonna happen before it does
Its been a while since I watched EE and managed to catch Fridays episode. I just watched incredulously to see toughened grown men turn into wet drips. The ending with Johnny confessing to his list of crimes was just pathetic and that pretty much sums the episode up.
I'm not critising the actors, just the script writers. I get the feeling that the script writers were once Mills and Boon writers. How about doing something unique and give Russel Davies or similar a couple of seasons. We need some gritty storylines, not those wrapped up in some romantic idealism.
:rotfl: :rotfl: Love it! Great analogy there NB. Whatever next Gwant and Fill go Morris dancing. It will be even more unbelievable if a few weeks down the line they resume their hardman images again just to fit in with the whim of whatever luvvie is writing the scripts that dayQuote:

With all the trailers for it, I thought it would be so much better but in the end, I felt they could have done far better. It just wasn't the EE of old when they had weeks focussing on one particular storyline. I'm just glad I sky +d it again - hit that fast forward button :D
