Loved Eastenders revealed, it had me in tears! Wendy is such a great actress and a nice personality.
Loved the Carly Shirly bit, they do look alike, good casting there.
The funeral, when they closed the curtains I had tears in my eyes again!!
Joe is not being treated fairly by Martin, I do understand Martin's reaction in the pub, but Joe is hurting as well. Pauline was so bitter towards the end.
Oh by the way where has Pat gone off to?
I must say that last night, Eastenders was fantastic! After Pauline's abysmal death, i really enjoyed last night's episode. I found Pauline's funeral very sad, especially when Martin did his speech and was crying, James Alexandrou is a very good actor. I wish Pauline's death was as sad as her funeral.
Shirley Wicks is wonderful! I loved her scenes last night with Carly and her together, her and Kevin arguing in the toilets and her scene with Denise. Shirley Wicks has definetly lived up to my expectations, and it was good to see a darker more serious side to Kevin. A good start to 2007!
For the first time in a long time I had the feeling Eastenders could be improving. Last nights two offerings were very enjoyable. Shirley and Kevin stole the show, Linda Henry is a fabuluous actress, I hope she's in it full time. The episodes were full of drama and emotion from Pauline's funeral, and we had a true Eastenders style cliffhanger with the police turning up.
A VERY promising start to 2007, let's hope they can keep it up :)
The episodes were quite good - i got a bit bored though but i wasnt really paying attention to be honest
That episode was really good i liked it the stuff with Carly/Shirley/Kevin! Its nice that Carly had a big part in an episode! lol Paulines funeral was good! BLess little Rebecca! She was really good!
I agree about Carly i really like her and her character. I also like the normal family things like ehouting for the shower at the Wicks in the morning. It reminded we of our house getting ready to leave the house in the morning.
And a very stupid cliffhanger as well. The entire fallout of Pauline's death, and the funeral itself has been absolutely pathetic. No way would what happened last night happen in real life, re. the police turning up, no proper post-mortem. Awful.Quote:

Also Phil Daniels was so OTT last night. My word, he used to be a good actor (Quadrophelia etc). What happened?
her death left me underwhelmed but her funeral was much better, there was some emotion there.
It was emotional yes and highly charged, but the ridiculous way they have gone about Pauline's death with the policemen et al was the equivalent of throwing water over a fire.
that is very true, the end turned out to be a damp squib. It would have been much better if they could have just left her ending as the curtains closing on pauline. It would have been much more poignant but they took away from it which is a shame.
