I agree but think he may re-emerge as one ofQuote:

Belinda's a very entertaining character and the actress fits right into the show. I think Belinda would eat Mick alive given half a chance! :eek:Quote:

I didn't like any of the Carter scenes and I am tiring already of Ronnie and Jack :thumbsdow
I do like Belinda and think she clearly fancies Mick
I know Peggy isn't a popular character on here, but I've always enjoyed the character and am already feeling sad about her impending death. I thought the juxtaposition of Peggy and Sonia's hospital appointments was effective.
Belinda and Gary...what a saucy pair they are. How are Mick and Linda going to get out of that? :p

I did think the scenes with the results were good. I did like Stacey going with her. I like Stacey. I do fear those toilets are going to be there still at Christmas though.
I thought Peggy would bump into Sonia and Stacey at the hospitalQuote:

I liked Sal being back
so can we assume phil was in contact with peg and sal since her reveal to him when he was drunk and he has kept the other FAMILY in the dark or did ronnie know
I can't work out whether Phil's been in contact with his mum or not. I suppose they did part on very bad terms, but it seems unthinkable Phil would have ignored her since the cancer reveal. I'm pretty sure Ronnie didn't know because she'd have made sure she visited Peggy.Quote:

The carp story makes me chuckle, a relative did the same stealing coy. bragged about it ... it didnt end well.. in this case no coy could be proved as missing, Mick could cla9m he was there on the invite of the couple now they had been invited and as such the Police cant use most cctv in eveidence, I know all about that one. I suspect the swinging routine is a wind up.. something they can laugh about and then become best mates over.
Wow I love Shirley, how fishy fred could pick mizz whiney sob story over her gawd knows.

I liked the Mitchell family scenes but would Ben and Louise be so friendly and on good terms with Peggy, were they all in contact while she has been away?
The Peggy and Phil scenes were especially good
Peggy did say she was going out on her terms or something similar to that, I believe she dies next week
I could have done without the Carters not funny drama
Belinda works best as the flirty fun witty sarcastic Slater, keep her like that as now she is staying around, I don't want Mick to stray
It sounds like she has low self esteem under the brassy exterior. Maybe she thinks she can't live without a man?Quote:

They were - the old chemistry's still there. I think Barbara Windsor is a perfectly competent actor when she's not hamming it up, and of course Steve is always convincing.Quote:

I am not usually a fan of Peggy and Barbara Windsor, perhaps because I was always such a fan of Wendy Richard and Pauline. However credit where credit is due, I did find the scenes with Peggy and Phil rather moving, especially going back to where they used to live.
As much a I love our capital city and I do, (it is my favourite city no question) the scenes did feel a little bit like a travel log. I half expected Judith Chalmers to pop up on that boat on the Thames.
Nice scenes with Shirley, Sharon and Kathy. The best part of the episode for me were the scenes with Peggy and Dot and the poignant look Peggy gave when passing Pat's house, as if to say "won't be long before I see you, you old cow."
Quite frankly, I am heartily sick of this Peggy storyline. Eastenders are just indulging her in her own egotistical delusion that she is the greatest thing ever to happen to Eastenders. The national treasure who decided to grace our screens with her presence. Now she's decided to go, of course, she has to be treated like royalty and everything else has to stop for her and her own fantasy that she is a legend.
Yes, she played a big part in Eastenders (not very well in my opinion) but so did a lot of other people, the 30 year history of the show is not and never was all about her. It's almost as if Eastenders itself is dying. Well it won't and personally, I haven't missed her while she's been absent and won't now.
I so agree with bells on......Windsor like I said before disgusted me advertising online gambling, just like Cilla Black did when she advertised the call a spiritual medium company on a premium rate number.. did they not quite grasp that they were selling their souls.Quote:

Shirley is no Mary Berry. :)

I can imagine that when you know you only have a very short time left on this planet, your attitude to other people or opinions changes ..Quote:

I agree. People who are dying think about those
who really matter to them. Sharon&Kathy may
have affected those who mattered to Peggy -
but they themselves werent important- so wouldn't
waste time on them.
I agree with Parkermans earlier post that the
Peggy Exit story has been overdone-so wouldn't
want it to be even more unrealistic!:wall:
I'm on team "I'm enjoying Peggy's final episodes", although I do agree it's over the top and that other, more iconic, characters haven't had such a monumental send off.
That's down to DTC more than anyone however. I think he called Peggy/Barbara the queen of Walford when Peggy's death was first announced. I know that both Wendy Richard and Pam St Clement were both killed off because they fell out with the executive producer(s) of the time. So they were never going to get such a sentimental send-off. Wendy's in particular was insulting!
I turned on iPlayer on Thursday night to watch that day's EE but it hadn't yet been uploaded. So, instead, I watched Back to Ours featuring Barbara Windsor and Pam St Clement. It was an entertaining and nostalgic watch, and I found it apparent from Babs' attitude that she truly loves EE, Peggy and her EE family. She didn't come across to me as egotistical about it at all - and this is from someone who's criticised her in the past about the damehood and gambling ads. I'm still no fan of Barbara Windsor, but I don't believe she's as self important as some of you do - at least not about her place in EE's history. She's proud to have been a part of it.
There have been some lovely scenes between Peggy and Phil, and Peggy and Dot (who knew she was saying goodbye for the last time :() and others. I'm looking forward to the Peggy/Phil/Grant scenes too.
You haters haven't got many more episodes to tolerate Peggy's send-off! :p
As I said in my last post, I believe this feeling has as much to do with DTC as anyone. Peggy's final storyline was his swansong and he'll have put everything into it. EE isn't dying, but maybe DTC's departure felt a bit like a bereavement to him? Coupled with Peggy's death, the whole EE team were likely in mourning planning and filming these episodes.Quote:

Just started watching the weeks eps. This is just a thought, but can anybody refresh my memory. I vaguely recall a scene from EE years ago, with Ronnie's daughter Danielle and her adopted father. I recall him mentioning her brother wanted her at his wedding or something. Did Danielle have an adopted brother? If so, then I'm wandering if this Andy might be him? He mentioned having a sister, and it would explain his obsession with Ronnie (revenge).
I agree I think Andy is Danielle's adopted brother.Quote:

Andy Jones, played by Aneirin Hughes, is the adoptive father of established character Danielle Jones (Lauren Crace).
Andy asks Danielle to return to their hometown Telford as her brother, Gareth, is getting married.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel...es_(EastEnders)
That would seem to indicate that this is indeed Danielle's brother then. If he's planning something sinister, he most likely wouldn't use his own name, and used his fathers' first one instead. Of course, this is still all speculation. He might just be your typical creepy soap stalker.Quote:
