Mike Reid deserves a good send off his portrayal of Frank Butcher was marvelous. I hope BBC do not show the clip with him only wearing a glitter bow anymore, it doesn't do him justice. I'm sorry they did it at points of view.
I agree, i am glad they are doing this, it is such a fitting tribute to Mike :cheer:Quote:

That was an absolute classic! :lol: I loved that line so much and Janine's exit was brilliant. I'm so pleased she's coming back along with others. It will definetly be a fitting tribute to Mike Reid, and I think these episodes will be extremely special and go down in history. It's a shame Charlie Brooks is only staying a week - i can't wait to see her and Pat come face to face, but i suppose her coming back just for a week is something.Quote:

A top television drama executive has warned of the danger of resurrecting old characters in soapland.
John Yorke – Controller of Continuing Drama Series and Head of Independent Drama at the BBC - has spoken out following last month's announcement that Sid Owen and Patsy Palmer are to return to EastEnders as Ricky and Bianca.
According to the executive, the decision to bring back two of Albert Square's most iconic characters was prompted by the death earlier this year of Walford legend Mike Reid, who played Frank Butcher until 2005.
Reid's wife, Shirley, reportedly contacted the soap's production team and suggested they mark her husband's passing on screen, prompting the storyline team to organise a special week of episodes entitled 'Frank Week'.
Subsequently, Sophie Lawrence and Charlie Brooks - who played Frank's daughters Diane and Janine – also agreed to return for the run.
Yorke told The Stage: "That is it for now. It is a balance. There is a good side to bringing back old characters because you create a sense of community which is lovely and people feel it's a family thing. But if you just live off old characters you get into terrible trouble - you have to move forward."
In addition, the drama controller also applauded EastEnders' current Executive Producer Diederick Santer for his efforts in bringing a plethora of "strong characters" to the show, namely Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and the Mitchell sisters – Ronnie and Roxy, played by Samanthan Janus and Rita Simons respectively.
Yorke added: "There are some really exciting developments there. It feels like a new dynasty is emerging, which is important."
Ah. Yeh it's gonna be good. And Rickys coming back full time!! i think its great him and Bianca are returing. loving it!
Charlie Brooks feels "honoured" to have been asked to return for a special episode of EastEnders in a tribute to the late Mike Reid.
Brooks played Janine Butcher, the daughter of Reid's character, until she quit in 2004.
The actress has agreed to join a host of former EastEnders stars, including Patsy Palmer and Sid Owen, to shoot funeral scenes for Reid's character Frank Butcher.
Brooks said: "I was honoured to be asked. I’m really looking forward to it. Patsy Palmer’s going back and Sid Owen’s going back.
“It’s going to be bizarre seeing everyone again.”
Reid died after suffering from a heart attack at his Spanish home in July at the age of 67.
The scenes will be aired in a week of special episodes next year, but it has not been revealed how Frank will die.
EX-EASTENDER Charlie Brooks has signed an estimated £100,000 deal to return as Janine Butcher.
The star, 26, will be back as the murderous former prostitute this autumn – four years after she quit the BBC1 soap.
Charlie has been in talks with bosses about a full-time comeback since her brief appearance at screen dad Frank’s funeral last month.
She said: “I loved coming back for Frank’s funeral.
"It gave me a taste for playing Janine again.
“And I’m excited to see what Janine will be getting up to now.”
’Enders chief Diederick Santer added: “Rejoining us will give us a chance to understand what makes Janine tick.
"We can explore what lies beneath the surface of this unique character.”
Charlie first appeared in 1999 and starred in some of the show’s most harrowing storylines
Janine told Frank’s wife Pat what she had done – and when she was later wrongly arrested for Laura Beale’s death, Pat refused to give her an alibi.
Pat came clean in court and Janine left in May 2004.
Her final scenes won her a Best Exit gong at the 2005 British Soap Awards.
Since leaving, Charlie has worked on dramas including Casualty and Heartbeat.

i hope this is in the right place
amazing news. things are going from strength to strength with the show, I just hope she sticks around for a bit longer this time.
Charlie Brooks is back on EastEnders as nasty Janine and we can’t wait.
Char said she was tempted back to Albert Square by a storyline in which her character finds true love. A source from the show said: ‘Janine has never properly been in love, that is part of why she is so wicked and bitter. The writers are planning a big romance. Having a proper man by her side changes her.'
We just hope he doesn’t suffer the same fate as Barry.

:thumbsup: :cheer: :thumbsup: :cheer: great news

ooooh so excited! i wonder who she'll fall for, maybe a current character?
i hope she falls for bradley and she have an cat fight with claire

My biggest concern about Janine returning is that if they are going to give her a love interest they don't spoil the character Janine and make her fall madly in love and turn into a goodie-goodie boring character like the writers of EE have done with so many other characters over the years.
The bitch is back!!
Which bitch is back?? :hmm: :searchme:
Only the biggest bitch in town!!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
im off to crack open the bubbly! :cool:
great stuff, she is good actress :thumbsup:
I hope she still has her mean streaks. I did love the scenes with Paul Trueman though. In the end she did care genuinely for him, but circumstances weren't right.Quote:

The BBC1 bitch, played by Charlie Brooks, returns in the run-up to Christmas, just before the fifth anniversary of when Janine pushed hubby Barry (Shaun Williamson) off a cliff.
A show source said: “Has Janine got married, is she fleeing a wedding? There’s an element of that — that’s all we can say.”
Guess they’re keeping us all in suspenders!
Can't wait to see her back :cheer:
Ah cool.. what a way to make an entrance??? :lol:
:lol: So she's arriving pretty soon...:D
she must be, she started filming ages ago!Quote:
