Nice to get a swimming pool all to yourself......
Amen to that! :bow:Quote:

I thought the scenes with Ben and Jay in the garage were spot on and funny and I just love Buster. Thinking about it, I don't think Kat would just cut off Stacey's rent just like that, she would give her notice surely? Kyle has really settled well into the square.
My only criticism of the episode was, we were robbed of any scenes with speedo's on Lee or Johnny. :crying:
It was nice to see happy Carter scenes tonight (until Nancy's surprise announcement anyway).
The repeated comments to the effect that Johnny left a boy and returned a man make me laugh because 1) drawing unnecessary attention to the recast takes me out of the moment (which I highly doubt was the intention!), and 2) Ted O'Reilly looks and acts younger than my memory of Sam Strike in the part.
That's exactly what my wife said when that comment was made.Quote:

There's the Les photo to come out yet.
I liked Johnny's comment "Do you think I'd miss this ?" - well, you missed your mum and dad's wedding so we're not quite sure.
The only bit of the script I thought was a bit toe curling was "I left as a boy and came back as a man". Somebody on another site said it should have said " I left as a boy and came back as a different boy."
I'm confused as I thought Mick was afraid of water and could not swim but did he take the kids to the pool when they were young which is why Johnny arranged this family day outQuote:

It wasn't made very clear but I don't think Mick actually got into the water with the rest of the family in the past. He said something to the effect it was the first time he'd done so.Quote:

Maybe the tutor likes Johnny :pQuote:

I enjoyed the Nancy and Tam scenes, love Sharon at the Vic, it works so well. We all saw the Jay and Linzi storyline coming a mile off. Ian is going to be public enemy number one with this new supermarket moving into Beales restaurant. I love the banter on the market with Donna and co. It's interesting Kathy is back on the fruit and veg stall and Sharon back behind the bar at the Vic. Like old times.
the video message linzi sent jay on his phone will get him in big trouble
Isn't Eastenders copying this storyline from other soaps? I remember the Jay/Linzi story being done in Doctors once.
is the salon closed down?
yes Blades should still be open?Quote:

still not a good reason but hey
Shirley was running Blades with Paul and Stacey I think before her breakdown
I think it must be because Paul now works on Pam's flower stall.Quote:

I fast forwarded through Nancy sobbing about feeling trapped for the hundredth time. Talk about repetitive and boring! It was good to hear that Ollie's "accident" has had a lasting effect on her, but was it really necessary to string out Nancy and Tamwar's leaving storyline for a couple of weeks? They're just not interesting enough characters in my opinion.
He was rude to Stacey when she tried to talk to him a couple of weeks ago.Quote:

I want Jay to confide in someone perhaps Sharon before Linzi gets him in trouble
I am glad Nancy and Mick have made up now Linda needs to get happy before her trip but I agree too much Carter scenes especially the crying
I never liked the Mick and Nancy storyline from the start. The least they could do was NOT have the pair make up. In the real world this would not have happened. Nancy would leave because of Mick and this would leave a permanent rift between Linda and Mick. I don't think we always need a happy ending, This is EastEnders not Bore the Nation Street and The Carters are not the Waltons.
However the most pressing question is will we get a Julia's Theme at the end of Friday's episode with Nanwar departing? I think as a tribute to the wonderful Victoria Wood they should play Acorn Antiques version of the EastEnders Theme. "Anyone can break a vase."

You're right. It would have made much more dramatic sense for Nancy to depart under a cloud after Ollie's injury. But then there have been so many online EE viewers complaining about Mick being nasty to Nancy recently (I'm not talking about SoapBoards) that the EE team couldn't win. I found Mick's attitude understandable, if a little over-the-top, personally. A potentially life-changing brain injury caused by recklessness would be extremely hard to come to terms with in my opinion.Quote:

Do you mean Tamwar's speech which Mick posted through Masood's letterbox?Quote:

An enjoyable episode, the Carters have turned into a cockney version of the Waltons. I would have prefered Mick and Nancy not to have made it up and Nancy leaving because of this, causing a rift between Mick and Linda.
The ending was very EastEnders, what we have come to expect, it is a well oiled machine, it was well done, well acted, but the Julia Theme doesn't get to me as much as it used to.
I did notice the set looked as though it needed attention and has seen better days, especially the end shot of the Tube station. When you compare the new set on Coronation Street you can see the Elstree lot is in bad repair. The new set can't come soon enough.
a 3rd wedding for zainab, another muslim wedding as it in pakistan, would like her to return to lonely mas instead
Whilst Stacey and Martin can't afford the rent on their place - she must be getting some benefits for being sick, and he earns on the market stall..Quote:

Plus Kat wouldn't cut Stacey off so cruelly when she's just out of hospital.Quote:
