hope that helps
Exactly wouldnt life be boring if we all acted the same and thought in the same way, no one is exactly the same okay you get people that are alike in one way or another but everyone has bits that others dont and just because people like Richie Parkerman and Alan dont like some of the episodes that have been on recently doesnt mean those that do like them has to say their oppinon is not welcome here because people like me enjoy reading opinions and then saying wether or not we agree with them or not, that is afterall what a discussion is.Quote:

Yes I saw it and agreed with him too. I actually do think (scummy) Bushell's actually spot on in his article about it:Quote:

IT WAS a tough week for Johnny Allen on EastEnders.
Not only was he a secret alcoholic, but the pink elephant he could see wobbling up his hallway turned out to be Phil Mitchell.
Yes, the Knuckle Brothers are back. Hurrah! The soap had fun with them too. "Right Said Fred have reformed," muttered a diner in a roadside caff. Later Phil battered the bloke in the khazi for singing I'm Too Sexy. The Freds should sue. Especially as Phil's version would be: "I'm Too Heavy For My Scales." Talk about Phil Michelin. Steve McFadden looks more like Buster Bloodvessel these days.
Sadly, the only Fred song that the plot brought to mind was Deeply Dippy.
The low point came on Tuesday. Johnny was safely holed up behind his steel-plated office door, with two hostile Mitchells outside.
Ludicrously, drippy daughter Ruby cut off the phone, their one link to the outside world, and started smashing vodka bottles. She then waltzed out, leaving the door open for Flabby Phil, while she settled down for scones with his pop-eyed bruv. The scripting was farcical. Like bad kids' TV. When that skip fell on Phil's car, you expected him to slip out completely flat, like a cartoon, and shake himself back to normal.
As for Grant's "ferapy"... leave it aht. A bloke like Grant would no more see a shrink than he'd eat quiche or sleep with Pat Butcher. Whoops! There I go giving them ideas again. The Grunt we love was a head case who beat up coppers and knocked up conquests on the Queen Vic carpet.
Can we trust exec producer Kate Harwood not to ruin him the way she neutered Johnny?
Probably not. Billy Murray must have squirmed every time his character got rewritten.
This week, we had to believe that strict disciplinarian Johnny would be pushed around by his sulky, spoilt-brat daughter' that he'd give up liberty and lifestyle to keep Ruby (un)happy' that he'd employ a loopy loser like Danny as his minder...
And don't get me started on that pink pullover.
Yep, expect to see Grant get beaten to a pulp before the summer. Probably by his missus.
It was a frustrating week. More fun than Sonia and Naomi or Bert and Mo, but still less than convincing.
BBC1 know that the fate of the show depends on how well this pair of ageing potbellied, slapheads perform. That's why the wages bill for Grant, Phil and Peggy is more than £1 million a year.
But what's the point of spending bucketloads on the talent if the writing is still two-bob?
:clap::clap::clap: very well said... why spend that much on the people if the script is ****
Richie, Parkerman, Alan - I salute you all :D :clap:
The scriptwriting is awful at the moment.
Since when did "gangsters" wear pink pullovers, admit to guilt that easily etc
I'm still waiting for EE to get better again - is it going to happen any time soon?? :searchme:
I think it's lost the plot completely ems. It's never gonna get back to being as good as it used to be, as we all know. :(Quote:

I might dig out some old tapes/DVDs of past EE episodes and remind myself of how great the show used to be, and how rubbish it is now by comparison.

Ok I shall call you Ems then, thanks for letting me know. :)
Anything is possible! They manage to make good BBC drama's, they could just as well put some of that energy into making great episodes of EE.Quote:

They have to realise that Eastenders isn't invinsible, they cut Brookside (which was one of the best soaps ever, in it's day). They've got to do something!
