Seriously.. would you tackle a mad man with out without weapons? He smacked Patrick in the mouth, wrapped a cord around Libby's neck and had the door blocked for a bit...

^ They could have tried
Patrick did and got a smack in the mouth.. Chelsea wouldn't cause she didn't believe her mum that he killed someone, libby tried and was held hostage until Heather left, Denise was weak spending time in a cellar.. plus they were all in shock! Denise came back from the dead, Lucas reveals he is a killer but for the good of the family and asks them all to go away...
It was a let down of an episode imo
I really enjoyed the episode. The only thing I didn't like was that so much time was spent on the rounders game, when I wanted to find out what was happening at the Fox's.
Except for Chelsea, I thought the acting was all very good, particularly Don Gilet - I even felt pity for Lucas at the end, which I wasn't expecting.
Lucas was like a madman at the end, threatening to throttle Libby and throwing TVs around, so I think it's very realistic that the family were too scared to fight back. Anyway, Patrick did leave that note for Heather, so it's not as if no-one did anything.
my only regret is that Lucas omitted to murder Phatboy while he was on his killing spree.
...and the entire Mitchell clan...
Don Gilet was fab. But the acting when they we're afraid of Lucas was to wooden. Jordan was good as well. In the end when he still felt love for his dad was very convincing.
I record EE. So when fatboy is around I fast forward. I cannot bare his screeching .It hurts my ears. Oh no I sound like Dot.
Brillaint acting by Nina Wadia (Zainab) last night.
Zee acted like a really concerned friend and neighbor,, she got rid of that reporter,, buttttttttt looks like the reporter got Denise any way,,,
I thought the entire episode was well acted,, didnt give a hoot about Phil and Ben at the prison...
I will be glad when Chelsea leaves,, I am sick of her pouts and her AWFUL WIG...
phat boy was interesting he was actually flattering and nice to Dot ..... since I am deaf I can not hear him screeching around LOL wish he would speak English tho LOL
Shiv,,, Jack made the call,, after some one pitched the TV out the window ,,,
I thought this week's EastEnders was a bit hit and miss. The acting from Lucas and Denise on Monday and Tuesday's episodes was fantastic, but Thursday's episode and the climax to the story was very disappointing. I expected more of a reaction to Denise actually being alive. It was all a bit underwhelming.
The game of rounders was good, as it gave the Square more of a community feel with different characters interacting which has been missing from the show for a long time, but Thursday's episode was the wrong episode to incorporate it. Thursday's episode should have solely focused on the Foxes being held by Lucas. The cutting to and from scenes killed the tension and after Lucas was arrested, I was just thinking 'was that it?' . After months of build up, that's all we got. The residents of the Square didn't really seem to care much that Denise had actually been alive all along and Jordan's acting was rather laughable. He didn't seem to mind much that Lucas had killed his mother. His reaction was like he had just been kicked off the school football team.
The positives though - I loved how Zainab was there for the Foxes on Friday. We've seen a negative side to her personality with the Syed/Christian story, but we seen more of her positive traits on Friday as she supported the Fox family. I also loved the scenes between Dot and Fatboy - I think they would make a brilliant pairing. I hope that after Liz moves out and leaves, Dot offers for Fatboy to move in. I think they'd be brilliant on screen together - Friday's episode gave a great glimpse of that. Jodie and Darren are so lovely together but I do think the comedy is still a bit forced and cringeworthy.
Nice analysis, Davey. I agree with most of what you say.
I like Peggy and Pat living together
I don't.. not really.. it seems like Peggy just uses Pat as a dog or something.. do this pat, do that.. blah blah..it is all your fault... Phil has gone seriously over the line here hitting his mum across the face
Please please tell me that Chelsea is going to be on the plane.. I will pay for the tickets and she can take Jordan and Abi with her...
Raine is back!! She brings so much to the show
While I'm glad Chelsea's leaving, it's so selfish of the character to leave her mum now.
I'm glad someone at last told Phil what an awful parent he is :cheer:
Yay Chelesa and Libby gone :cheer:
Yeah.. both gone
had to laugh at Peggy... she says that Phil crossed the line hitting her and what is the first thing she did when she saw Lisa.. yes you got it.. slap her across the face
I did laugh at Libby saying she had been granted a sabbatical. Don't you have to actually attend University in the first place to get one of those...?
So has Libby gone for good? Please say yes!
I didn't get what Lisa said. She said she left Louise with a friend, but wasn't it Lisa who dropped Louise off at Albert Square?
I think she just escaped didnt she? I dont know wot happened to Lisa's friend though, dont think we'll ever know!
Kinda weird with Darren and Libby I thought. It seems ages ago since they were together now.
How come Tamwar didn't show up to say goodbye to Libby? And another thing, how did Lisa pack up an entire house that quickly, even took time to strip the beds???
what amused me the other night was when lisa and louise was on the dance mats and pat came in saying come on peggy the meters running! that fare must have been expensive peggy was in the house ages!
Yes. Did you hear the announcer before the episode started? He said something like "Next on BBC 1, Pat and Peggy return to the Square after the most expensive taxi ride in history in Eastenders." :lol:
no i didnt here that parkerman! it was bound to be picked up on! me and my dad were laughing for ages!
I enjoyed seeing Lisa again, and wish we'd seen more of her. She wasn't really in the episode all that much.
Max and Jack good stuff! I knew Max was pushing him. He does love his brother. How endearing.
EASTENDERS is in trouble over its latest storyline about hardman Phil Mitchell turning into a crackhead.
Viewers have fired off 200 complaints to the Beeb over scenes showing Phil (Steve McFadden, 51) and pal Rainie (Tanya Franks, 42) drugged up before the 9pm watershed.
But BBC bosses have defended the episode. A spokeswoman said: “We feel Phil’s decline will highlight the destructive nature of drugs, and rather than encourage drug use, will act as a deterrent.”
Shirley is just as a funny drunk as Phil is
It seems lthat Glenda likes to get more attention than her daughters maybe she is jealous of them
Glenda is an attention seeker. Not very nice to see though. Hope she doesn't steal Ronnies thunder when she gets married.
