There was also some nice moments with Ian and Jane, calm before the storm! lol.
I liked last nights episode. The relationship between Kevin and Pat was sweet and I nearly cried at the sonia and jim scene.. she just wants her grand dad to talk to her, she has no other family. And again, as usual, June Brown's acting was second to none.. it was a warming scene and you could see how upset she was with the comments Pauline made. Dot has nobody either so it is lovely to see them two get on so well
welldone eastenders :clap::clap:
Wasnt a fan of anything that involved Sonia lastnight i just wish she would leave people alone an give them time to get used to the idea and whats more the more she tries to make people understand the more she is upsetting her self
ok episode last night. Sonia should give everybody time to get used to her and Naomi being together.
boring episode yesterday especially sonia and naomi :( hopefully tonights will be better is it tonight phil and grant come back?
What is it with EE characters and The Weakest Link? First Pauline, then Keith and now Bradley and Stacey.
Yay Stacey and Bradley! :wub:
I wish Bert would naff off, he is so annoying. :wall:
I never realised that Grant was back tonight. :eek: I wish they could give characters better entrances - kinda sick of the "Hello Bruv/Mum etc"
Oh my god!! I knew Phil was coming but didn't expect Grant today :eek:
Awwww!! Ben is a fab. addition to EastEnders!! He really watches everyone and understand everything!! The poor soul, I was hoping least Ian would to better but he's the one who started it!!
I loved it!! It was great... and the whole thing being 1 hour!! :thumbsup:
great episode tonight i thought didnt like the yolande/patrick stuff though that bored me a bit the stuff with phil/ben was great he really showed his other side to him apart from acting like the hard man also loved bradley and stacey they were so much more relaxed after they had talked, fab episode so both the mitchells are back now!
Really enjoyed the episode! There's so much to say I don't really know where to start!
Bradley and Stacey, even though they didn't feature in it much, it was just enough to have closure on the whole 'alley' incident. And there was also a really sweet moment, and they talked! which was really great.
Good moments with Phil and Ben. I liked when they were bonding, and Phil was showing a bit more of a 'human' side to his personality. Ian and Phil need to sort out their arguments, it's not nice for Ben. Phil is the worst culprit always behaving like a bully, but Ian does need to realise that Ben needs his dad. He's already lost his mum, it's important to have parents in your life. I also felt quite sorry for Peggy, because she was trying to do it Ian's way!
Nice to see Jack back! Like Kevin, he's a good character. I don't like the Yolande stuff.
Where to start is the question...what a fab episode :cheer:
I swear i really do love Ben all i kept saying through that episode was aww and how cute when he was on (which was most of it)Where to begin on stuff with Ben tonight well he was absolutely fab with Minty that was very cute and bless him asking Minty to his party god you have to love this kid he might not be the toughest Mitchell in Walford but honestly he is the most sweetest one i know (except Jamie)Ben in general tonight was just fab everything e did tonight was spot on and i loved it he is deffinatly a fab asset to the show i hope he is there for a long time.
Not alot in my eyes can beat the whole stuff with Ben/Phil/Jane/Ian/Peggy tonight but Bradley and Stacey certainly come close that was all very sweet im glad they are finally talking and working out what eachother want from the relationship
Closely following Ben Bradley and Stacey was the return of Grant how perfect was that ending im glad is back and cant wait to see more...i may even watch it on sunday again because i loved it so much
Poor Martin the last thing the lad needs right n is stupid Bert winding him up but in a way im glad he did because that punch might have helped a bit maybe the next one who needs the punch is Sonia or Naomi, top marks for Jim standing by Martin though that cant be easy going against your grandaugter but im glad he did
Honey well what can i say she just gets worse i will never think of the word grandaughter in the same way again and me being a bit silly myself sometimes (not as bad as Honey though) im bound to think it sometime aswell now the thought is there
Well i think i covered just about everything that deserves to be mentioned fab episode tonight so well done to Eastenders lets just hope every episode can be as good as if not better than that from now on
I forgot to mention Bert. Actually I thought he was quite good tonight. When he was talking it sounded like he genuinely cared about what Martin was going through, and being as he had just been thumped by him, I think he was being very understanding. Also he was at Ben's birthday party, which although he wasn't invited to, he didn't really make a nuisance of himself, and he cheered Ben up a bit. I think he's going to be one of those characters that appears nasty at the beginning, but then comes good and decides to try and make a go of his life. I don't think he's all bad.
I think him using dirty humour and stuff, is just the way he is, and probably what a lot of londoners are like. I don't think he means anything by it.
Great episode good tonight, Ben and Minty were brilliant together, boy is that young man good. Phil well I enjoyed his return, not enough of Grant but still he packs an almighty punch in just a few seconds or so. Also enjoying Kevin and Pat, I swear Kevin is getting better looking by the days. Great episode, well done Eastenders. And well Jack was back, bonus.
good episode tonight
stacey and bradley: aww!!! :wub:
grant: those "hello...(someone)" return lines are losing their novelty big time
jim: HOMOPHOBE!!!
jane: yay! :cheer:
ben: yay! :cheer:
ian: boo! :thumbsdow
maybe deano never mentioned anything about his brother who dies of cf because he doesnt like to talk about it because from what kevin said he was pretty screwed up about it
i think jim is being like that because he is old fashioned and that to him is wrong he will come around it will just take some timeQuote:

Carol clearly didn't follow his path, because she married Alan, and did a lot of stuff which annoyed him. Maybe his wife (Carol's mum) was more liberal.Quote:

I HAVE JUST WATCHED THE HOUR EPISODE OF ee AND IT WAS NOT AS GOOD AS I HAD EXPECTED I THOUGHT GRANT AND PHIL WOULD APPEAR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE NOT THE END.
AGAIN YOLANDE IS MAKING ME SIC THINKING SHE IS A 21 YEAR OLD AGAIN ON THE PULL
nothing wrong with acting like your 21! and really enjoyed tonights episode and soooo good to finaly see ben and phil together as a family:D but argh damn ian for going mad! and honey just cracks me up to much! cant wait for next week
I dissagree the ending was perfect it leaves you wanting to see the next episodeQuote:

Absolutely Ben was fab lastnight but i do think we need to see more of him than what we do. The fact that Ben took up the entire episode practically was fabQuote:

I can't believe so many people thought last night's episode was so good. It was the usual tripe.
I think the problem is that Eastenders has now created such low expectations that anything, even the tiniest bit above absolutely awful, gets people thinking it's really good. Perhaps that's what the Eastenders scriptwriters were after all along, so they don't have to bother so much in future.
How can you say that it was a brilliant episode i didnt think id be happy to see Phil back but he is not how i expected to see him at allQuote:

Although i guess thinking about it you could in some sense be right but i dont think so i tink it was good
when Ben was with Minty he looked so sad that i nearly started crying :( he's a brilliant little actor especially for someone so young, and it was truly great when him and his Dad were bonding if only Ian would stop ruining it for them!
I love Ben and Charlie is a fab actor it is so sweet when he is on and i agree he did look andsound very sad in the cafe talking to Minty that bit was just so cuteQuote:

mondays episode should be good i reckon there will be a lot of phil/grant/ben/ian stuff which may go really well or really boring
I tuned in last night for the first time in a while Parkerman, and I have to say, I entirely agree with you. It was poor.Quote:

Patrick and Yolande's new problems - where the hell did that come from? :searchme:
Bradley and Stacey - zzzzz It just goes on and on, round in circles. Just get on with it you two. :rolleyes:
Honey absolutely awful as ever. The grandfather misunderstanding was one of the worst pieces of comedy in Easties ever.
Phil returning was bad enough, but then even worse he has about four personality changes in the episode, and he was only in half of it. :rolleyes:
Grant arriving at the end was pure cheese. I'm so fed up of the way these characters mark their return. "Ello x, ello y, ello z". :rolleyes:
I think I've covered the episode now. I'll tune in next week for 'Johnny Week' (is that meant to be a safe sex campaign? :rolleyes: ) and the week after to see if it lives upto the hype, but I'm not anticipating anything more than the usual tripe.
I don't know if the scriptwriters have stopped bothering Parkerman, but I most certainly have, hence why I stopped watching recently. It's still so poor, and not even a shadow of what it once was. :thumbsdow
I might actually have to agree with you there!! :eek: :pQuote:

i think it was good, but i have been keeping up with the show, sure naomi and sonia are boring, but i cant ever say i have ever thought of jim as nasty.Quote:

the problems between yolande and patrick are due to the fact he had an affair with pat evans
as for the mitchells entrance i wouldnt expect anything more than hello i mean can you imagine phil and grant running up to each other and giving each other a big hug, not gonna happen is it
Jim when he joined was a rather racist chap. Even a few months ago we saw his racist past come out when Juley and Ruby were going out.
We'll have to agree to disagree on the comedy side. :)
I was looking at the Pat/Yolande relationship problems from the positionality of Yolande actually. :)
As for the Mitchells, it would be better if they didn't appear at the end of the episode for a start, but you don't have to have a hugging scene between the two either to make it a realistic and uncliched entrance. :)
Well I Guess We Both Took Each Others Comments The Wrong Way And Im Sorry But I Cant Remember Jim Being Racist
Well Agree To Disagree
Jim was certainly racist when he first appeared. He was very unhappy with the idea that his daughter Carol was married to Alan for no other reason than he was black as far as I remember.
I was surprised Grant turned up i thought he was going to turn up on mons eppy.loved the bit with kevin and yolande,its the first time ive actually enjoyed a scene with him in it.
worst bit was Ben,no offence i know he's only a little boy but what terrible acting that was with him sitting with minty in the cafe,i was cringing.
He did mellow once he realised Alan was a good man, but the racist side of Jim was always just below the surface.
See I Never Knew That I Cant Actually Remember When Jim Joined The Square
How could anyone not like last nights episode???
Apart from the Naomi/Sonia rubbish of course. Minty taking care of Ben, I loved it when they were talking about Minty having family, Ben not feeling like he was a part of any family, the more Ian tries the further Ben feels he doesn't belong. Then when Ian found him and took him home, "You'd be a great dad Minty." That was great.
Pauline using Rebecca to help Peggy see things from Ben's point of view was great, Bert was a pain at the party. I can see where Peggy wanted to spoil her grandson, but Ian didn't have to be nasty to her about it. She was just trying her best and over compensated with the choice of present, loved how she went mental at Phil for trying to burn Ian's face.
Think Peggy and Jane will have more words to say to Phil and Ian, Minty was wonderful giving Phil what for. About time someone told Phil how lucky he is to have his life, Jane was wonderful as peace maker between Phil and Ben. I felt sorry for her when Ian barged into the Arches and had a go at Phil, wish he'd over heard what Pauline had told Peggy earlier. But Ian is thick as two short planks end to end, always using something against Phil so he can look better.
Stacey/Bradley - how sweet was that, Deano giving him heaps about making dinner for her. Then when they finally sit down Bradley gets cold feet, at least Stacey didn't run out on him. Seeing them talk about the pressure to have sex, sorting out their misunderstanding was good.
Martin, finally coming to terms his marriage is over was great, from telling himself he was over Sonia. Then belting Bert over it, glad they didn't just have Bert walking out the door when he'd taken Martin home, sat down and talked to him.
Yolande trying to take revenge on Patrick for what he did, how many women would've just forgiven or walked out? What he did was rotten to her especially with Pat, Keith was great helping her to see that she didn't really want revenge she needed to talk to Patrick.
The heart to heart they had was great, they didn't have them make up straight away, Patrick has to earn her trust again which is good.
As for Grant turning up in the end was great, yeah I agree they should use new words instead of "Hello, Princess", "Hello, Mum" etc. Could've had him say "Put that bottle down!" or anything else we can come up with :D
