Interesting to hear Mo say that Winston had told her about Kat in the Mini Mart...
Kat's pain has been heart-rending these last couple of episodes. Adding Tommy being so damaged by events and I'm finding it very sad. Not sure I can watch tonight's episode either so I might give it a miss. High praise to Jessie and the writers for their portrayal of the continuing effects of child abuse on Kat and her family though.Quote:

I loved Max's smirk when he caught Phil and Ben giving him the evils. I'd really like Max to win this one.
Why the hell is Sharon still in that house? Does she want her own son to be on the receiving end of Phil's temper?
Agree , breaks your heart to see Tommy in such a state, seeing him refusing to remove his facemask adds to the impact of the scenes. Alfie gets more annoying every episode, laughing boy really needs a good shake to wake him up from his pathetic inactivity.
Ann Would have been perfect in the role.Quote:

Jessie Wallace was superb again. Her performance is very raw.
What gets me about yesterday's episode was that Mo, Stacey and Alfie all encouraged Kat to open up about her feelings, but when she did their reaction was to sit there looking uncomfortable! What about a bit of reassurance or offers to help/get her help, guys?? :searchme:Quote:

I think it was Shirley, although at first I thought it might have been Nancy or Lee.

I did enjoy the episode. Karl Buster Howman's acting was from the Dick Van Dyke Academy of Dramatic Art but funny for all the wrong reasons. The Cora and Stan scenes were excellent. Ann and Timothy were superb as always. I thought Tina was rather good also. I think in the real world both Mick and Lee could have beat Buster to a pulp. Buster is a poor mans Phillip Mitchell.
I don't understand why both "fathers" should so vehemently take Dean's side over Mick's, when previous history would show who is likely to be the more reliable and which the more likely to be lying.
I haven't watched EastEnders since Thursday and, despite being an avid fan recently, I'm not feeling any desire to see it at the moment.
I initially stopped because I didn't want to watch Kat's suicide attempt (far too close to home and painful for me). I also have no inclination to see Alfie playing her hero after his arson and recent unlikable characterisation. After all, his reprehensible actions are a big part of the reason Kat's been in such a state! :angry:
Now I've read Dean (who makes my skin crawl) is back andSpoiler:
Also there's Shirley, whose vindictiveness towards Linda keeps being forgiven at the drop off a hat...
Stan's prolonged death brings back too many memories of my grandparents' recent deaths. :(
So, all in all, I'm finding little motivation to watch EE at the moment, despite really enjoying it for the last year or so. It's a perfect storm of storylines I don't want to see at the moment. I think I'll have to read the spoilers and look out for an episode I'll enjoy (something featuring the Beales or Mitchells heavily would be good. I like the Carters but want this rape storyline concluded now.)
I that Mick and Buster took a dislike to each other when they first met (before they even knew they were related). Didn't Mick even punch Buster? The latter may have taken the side of the son he likes, which is bad (but not as bad as Shirley's behaviour in my opinion).Quote:

be good if dean confessed to stan before he died but stan wouldn't care maybe have cora overhearQuote:

Is Buster also Carly's father?
I hate how Kevin seems to be forgotten, he was Dean's dad despite not being his birth father
Shirley needs to stay strong for all her family including Mick and Tina
Aparently Carly's father was from a one-night stand with someone called Daniel.Quote:

the death was acted great hard to watch im sure everyone has experienced a similar bereavement
As much as I liked Stan who was played brilliantly by Timothy West I feel his death is overshadowing Jim's death and Jim was a bigger part of the show and deserves a better send off
I would have liked to see one shot of heartbroken Dot in prison as the end scene for Friday's episode
Karin seems genuinely attracted to Max she might double cross Phil
EastEnders really got it spot on this Friday. I would have given the episode 10 if there had been less sonia, no Buster and Denise Van Doo dah, so I gave it a 9.
Superb performances from Linda, Danny and Timothy and all the Carters. For me the stand out performance was Lindsey. The ending was perfect.
Since the anniversary EastEnders has been patchy. EastEnders is like the childrens nursery Rhyme. When it is good, it is very very good, when it is bad it is horrid. Friday was very very good.
That was a long 27 minutes tonight. I was not overly impressed. I can't really think of anything positive to say about any of it. Apart fromm the scene with Patrick. I am disliking Sonia by the episode. I was basically under whelmed sadly. :(
why didn't shirley call when stan died
Again it seemed all about Stan, poor Jim rarely mentioned
I liked the scene between Carol and Patrick
Why didn't Mick, Tina or Shirley let Cora know, she was Stan's "wife", I can understand her upset
Alek's wife learnt English fast
charlie wants ronnie to just die so he can get with roxy i think
Charlie's character has been downgraded from an enigmatic and charming anti-hero to a typical soap wimp who thinks with his d*ck… :thumbsdowQuote:

I was really shocked at the duff duff (when Aleks accused Roxy of sleeping with Charlie). I knew he was going to find out but I really want expecting it at that moment. Kristian Kiehling is such a good actor. Aleks' whole demeanour instantly changed when he made the accusation. It's a pitySpoiler:
Why have they made Buster so unlikeable? He was great in the couple of episodes he appeared in several months ago and I was looking forward to his return. I'm not enjoying him now at all though. The last thing we need in EE at the moment is another bully.
Why are people surprised that Mick's so angry about Shirley and Buster supporting Dean? I think his attitude is entirely realistic.
I like Sonia and her relationship with Tina. :pQuote:

Bored of the Roxy Charlie Ronnie triangle, here we go again, Ronnie pulls a man she loves/loves her ... then Roxy beds him (Roxy Jack Ronnie re-run)!
So Tamwar gets the job of market inspector. Nice to see the scriptwriters have a real grasp of how Councils work when filling vacancies!
be happy it wasn't alfieQuote:

At least the writers are acknowledging his callousness by having Dot compare him to her loser husband. :thumbsdow
The Carter ceasefire didn't last long... :wall:

As I understand Tamwar said to Donna that he was covering the Inspectors role until the council appoint someone. The whole situation with Aleks so unrealistic a timescale from Tamwar discovering the fraud to dismissal by the council ,no wonder it creates confusion.
I thought he said that before Nancy phone the Council and he got an interview. I thought when he came back from the interview he told Donna he had now been appointed the new market inspector. I'll have to have a look on Catch Up.Quote:

Correct Dazzle ,Tamwar was showing his new Acting Market Inspector ID card to Donna ,because she'd been teasing him earlier about Aleks leaving. Occurred only a couple of minutes before the credits roll.
