put it in spoilers as not everyone knows this...
Love her advise to Kat.. go home lie on the table, cover yourself in chips and sent Alfie a text to let him know dinner is on the table :lol: Stacey's face.. it is not really something you want to hear your mum talk about...
Ah never thought ot that Shiv, many thanks for putting it in the spoiler tags.
Billy is turning violent again poor Jay he was trying to help him
While that's true, I don't think stealing is really the way to help.Quote:

Yeh they did do the abuse storyline, but maybe this is a different childrens home? Or maybe there were lots of people that abused him. So sad for Billy. I would have thought that Julie stuff would have come up when Little Mo was raped by Graham and she had Freddie.
Love Kat and Alfie! thankgod for a very 'happy ending'! lol. not even post watershed, well... ;)
Alfie is one in a million mind isnt he! :) he finds out his wife is pregnant by his cousin, not only does he still want to be with her, but he is happy to take on another guys baby, he didnt even punch Michael. So funny when he said that 'this is Walford it wouldnt be the same if someone isnt bringing up another mans child' ha! Just love him! Wish guys were like that in real-life. Kat and Alfie have such a great love for one another, I just love seeing them on screen.
Dream on :lol:
lol how do you mean?Quote:

Ha, right. I dont know maybe there are, just have to find them I guess. Guys that are funny are usually not very attractive, usually one or the other, but im sure there are ones that combine the two.
There's probably not many men who would have that reaction to their cousin being the father of your wifes child. But Alfie loves Kat soo much and she loves him so much that really all that matters is how they feel about each other, which I think is lovely!
When I saw the episode tonight it was the first time I saw that they could really make it work. As long as Michael doesnt try and interfere too much. Alfie would make an amazing dad, and Alfie cant have children of his own. It is a real shame he can't. If anyone should be able to have kids its him. There going to be an awesome family! :)
I'm deeply offended, Perdy! :DQuote:

I assume Michael will be back or is that it
Think he'll be back soon. Kat and Alfie was awesome! And was great just Michael standing on the pavement waiting for her, he wasnt very upset though was he? He likes Kat but he doesn't love her the way Alfie does! Long live Kat and Alfie! lol
Since when did Whitney fancy or want Peter or it is just to make Billie jealous
I love Kat and Alfie together they are one of best soap couples ever (Shane and Jessie work so well together they have great chemistry)
I dont think Whitney went with Peter to make Billie jealous cos he wasnt even in the room when that happened, or at least we didnt see his reaction to it, so i dont think he knew. But granted it happened very quickly, i didnt really get it either. We could see earlier on in the episode that Peter fancied her, but we didnt really get the feeling that it was mutual. Maybe Whitney just had a few too many and he was there, she felt horny, it happens lol.
Aww that was actually really sad, and well acted! I don't like Carol, but she was really good I thought. And Bianca was good too!
I had a tear in my eye - didn't actually cry though :p.
Yeh was quite a good episode, Bianca and Carol played a blinder. Still though its sad to see their reactions to it, I didnt really know the character of Billie well enough to feel anything for him.
Well acted, very sad, no parent should have to bury a child :(
Alfie was so sweet about his bet tonight. ah lol. Carol walks out, he's already placed the bet, but instead of getting mad, he just walks over and gives her the keys back. Not even asking her what the problem was. He's just so thoughtful.
I didn't watch last night's episode 'cos I knew it would be sad. Was it all about Billie's death, or did anything else important happen?
Depends on what you would define as important, but I don't think you missed anything vital, just Billie being found dead. There were very moving scenes but on the whole the episode was not too sad, and I am speaking as an emotional person. I did feel for Carol and Bianca though :(
I did not mean to imply that Billie being found dead was not vital, but you knew that would happen, I take it.
Yeah, that's why I avoided the episode. I'm an emotional person too, and, from what I did see, I knew I'd be upset even though I didn't really like Billie as a character.Quote:

That was a brillant episode. The writing, the directing and the acting were all stunning.
That sequence following Carol from the betting shop to the house was perfect - the shock, the feeling of detachment, everything seeming louder and yet somehow further away.
Patsy Palmer and Lindsey Coulson were brillant.
EastEnders fans have heaped praise on last night's emotional episode of the BBC soap, which saw Billie Jackson's family discover that he had passed away.
Yesterday evening, viewers watched as Billie was found dead on the morning after his alcohol-fuelled birthday party, leaving his family in a state of deep shock.
Writing on the Digital Spy forums last night, many fans voiced particular support for the performances of Lindsey Coulson and Patsy Palmer, who portray Billie's mum Carol and half-sister Bianca respectively.
Forum user Thomas Carr commented: "This is a fantastic sign of things to come under [executive producer] Bryan Kirkwood I reckon. I have to hand it to him. I felt so drawn into the episode. Almost as if we were watching like we were there with them. Lindsey Coulson, Patsy Palmer, Sid Owen and Shona McGarty were brilliant."
Dan2008 remarked: "Tonight's EastEnders was spot on. The episode was so realistic, every detail was spot on, so a massive well done to them. I hope it will give a lot of people a wake up call now and not turn a happy moment into a sad one."
Umr3000 also commended the soap's team, saying: "The whole episode was beautifully put together, fantastic writing, direction and of course performances. Lindsey Coulson was terrific to watch and Patsy Palmer just had me in tears, a real brilliant performance from her. It just had a whole different feel to it unlike what we've seen from EastEnders before. Very understated yet so powerful."
Meanwhile, Dd68 said: "Lindsey Coulson and Patsy Palmer were outstanding tonight, when Carol walked through the Square on her way home - with almost no background noise - I couldn't help but be reminded of the cot death episode in 1985. Outstanding TV, I bet Julia Smith and Tony Holland would have been proud."
Episodes to air over the coming days will see Carol struggling to cope with her grief and lashing out at those closest to her.
I'm sorry I didn't watch now. I might catch up on iPlayer.
Last night was one of the best episodes for ages. I agree with Katie, the silient scene was very moving. Had tears streaming down my face for most, with the kids passing me the tissues.
The new Lauren cant act I wanted to smack her last night bring back old Lauren that was the only let down of last night's great episode :angry:
I think the scene with Lauren laughing was not very good, not keen on this Lauren. She came across as very insenitive.
I saw this bit and I agree she came across as insensitive, but it took me back to when I was a teenager. I would often get into trouble for laughing (nervously) at inappropriate times, and I think this is what is supposed to have happened to Lauren.Quote:

Welcome from me too, Emsyj :D
Yes I know sometimes people laugh when nervous but her acting of it was so crap I remember the old Lauren was much better
One of the best episodes ever of EE well done all involved
Whilst I coped quite well with yesterdays episode, I was in floods of tears tonight. All so sad :(
Nice to see Alan tonight, I couldnt believe it when he turned round and it was the exact same actor as it was all those years ago in the 90's. Hope we get to see a bit more of him, cos it would be nice to find out what exactly he's been up to recently.
Bianca's being very supportive to her mum it's nice to see. She's shouldering the burden very well. Carol and Jim was sweet. Sad about Whitney and Peter, I do hope Whitney gives him a chance eventually. It was a very cruel thing for Billie to do, I know he didn't know he was going to die, but he chucked her away and behaved awfully to her. But that's what happens when your drunk, your true feelings start emerging, or you start thinking about the past and feel the need to ring someone. Always happens to me.
I think Alan is only back for the funeral, as will be his mum, but maybe we find out a little bit what has happened to him in the meantime
