I did have to smile about how easy it is to get a job in Walford. :D
Harry Reid was pretty ott I thought.
Very OTT. I think he always overplays Ben's temper tantrums, though he does a decent job on the whole. It was good to have a reminder that he killed Heather in yesterday's episode.Quote:

Plus Steve McFadden and Linda Henry. It was an excellent episode. I was so glad Shirley pulled no punches with Ben over Heather's death, and made him see that Phil needs his support.Quote:

Well that was a stroke of luck having a digger randomly parked on the Square with the key still in it.....
Wasn't it just? :DQuote:

I didn't get that either, seemed a bit random. I am surprised Shirley didn't put her in her box.Quote:

(Only spoilt by the spoilers for next week.) :(
Ben should try and be a proper dad now to Lexi
whitney thinks she runs the pub and everyone in it, she needs to go for me
EE always cheers me up on a gloomy thursday night...:(
did sharon open ian's restaurant for herself and linda to have wine
Positives:
Lovely scenes with Nancy and Tamwar, I loved that breakfast scene.
Excellent scenes with Sharon and Linda. Kellie Bright is playing a blinder.
They have really made Phil look ill. Steve McFadden is beyond brilliant.
Not many scenes with Harry Reid.
Negatives:
Carmel. What was that scene about?
Mick is seriously doing my head in. Get a grip man, get a grip.
Elaine is back. :sick: Love Maria Friedman, but Elaine in small doses please and give me some warning.
Nessa Ken Barlow's ex bit of fluff has been getting about recently. :) :D
honestly want whitney gone, carters should kick her out

EastEnders bosses have insisted that Shona McGarty won't be quitting the show to launch a music career.Quote:

The 24-year-old is thought to have belted out a new track called 'Easy as a Dream' with Jansson, but fans shouldn't get too carried away as EastEnders say that talk of a single release is wide of the mark.
An EastEnders spokesperson told Digital Spy: "Shona has made no secret of her passion for music, but EastEnders is her absolute priority.
"This was a one-off gig, she hasn't recorded a single, and this not going to affect her job in any way."
Reports had speculated that McGarty could even quit the BBC show to focus on music, but it's thought that she's in fact keen to stick around in her role as Whitney Dean.
The EastEnders rep added: "She is very much focused on her future at EastEnders."
McGarty has been part of EastEnders since 2008 and her current storyline sees Whitney caught up in a potentially doomed engagement with Lee Carter.
Fans have already seen the star's musical talents when she sang live on Children In Need in 2012. She also took part in a special show, Friday Night Is EastEnders Night, at the Hackney Empire last year.
There was a girl there too when they went in.Quote:

Are they going to make Phil last for years?

OMG Buster and Kathy could it happen :hmm:
Where is Lisa, her daughter Louise was nearly killed
Mick still wants Nancy gone :thumbsdow
Shona McGarty has aired hersinging talent before, shes a lot better than Sonias brood. A quick fling in the charts then musical theatre might be a way to go for her. Enders can be a fickle mistress, now shes ended up with a wooden actor boyfriend and no storyline maybe its time to jump and not be the next Flatboy.Quote:

I still think Nancy hasnt grasped how her temper caused the injury to thingy hat kid, everyone saying its not your fault are ignoring how aggressive she had become pre the incident and how now she seems more worried about herself than the damage done to hat sprog. Anger management and to stop acting the victim might do it, Mick will forgive her but Linda forcing him to do so isnt the gig, but Im guessing Linda will kick off at Nancy st some point in depression and anger.
I don't think that's going to happen. I feel like Mick is being portrayed as being unreasonable and, from what I've read on other sites, most fans agree with that assessment. I'm with you that he's got every right to be angry with Nancy and to find her behaviour unforgivable in the short-term. My only quibble is that I don't think it's in character for him to be quite so nasty about it.Quote:

There were certainly some heavy hints dropped about the possibility...Quote:

Steve McFadden is pulling out all the stops. Kathy is becoming more likeable now she is settling back into the square, sort of filling the gaping hole left by Pauline and Pat.
Personally, I still have this great problem in "liking" Kathy, Jane, Ian, Sharon or Phil knowing that they allowed Max to go to jail for life when they knew he wasn't guilty. I think it was reprehensible behaviour and I can never feel any warmth to any of them again. :angry:Quote:

I'm afraid my memory for soap character transgressions is almost as short as the characters' themselves. I swore I wouldn't feel any sympathy towards bullying thug Phil for his descent back into drinking and terminal diagnosis, but I find myself sneakily feeling sorry for him against my wishes. :oQuote:

Lee dint just fall on the sprog she made that event happen out of nger. So matter how many of the relatives tell her that it wasnt her fault it clearly was in my book.Quote:

I did have that problem with Kathy and was so annoyed and angry when they brought her back from the dead. However if I gloss over that fact and pretend it never happened, I can just about live with it. I quite like Kathy back in the square, however I agree re Jane and Ian they are completely and utterly ruined as characters now. Kathy works better away from them both.Quote:
