Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

I love Ian and Phil's scenes together at the moment. It's great seeing Phil supporting Ian knowing how he's bullied him relentlessly in the past. I'm sure they'll go back to being enemies again at some point though. :D

We need more confrontations between Phil and Mick, the two strongest males on the square at the moment. It's nice to see good guy Mick being able to stand up to bully Phil.

Jay looked very guilty at seeing the video. He's definitely hiding something, though I doubt he's the killer.

Dean...creepy!!! I feel really sorry for Linda... :(

yeap i feel sorry for linda. dean is seriously bad. i am not sure where this story is going, but i hope linda doesn't get raped. i still have no sympathy for the weasel beale. i also feel sorry for denise. i wonder when kim returns? (and not on skype) how long is tameka's maternity leave?

loving the carter scenes, timothy west is just brilliant. also linda storming through the market and staring cora down was played to perfection by kellie.

cora had the line of the week at sonia's weight watchers/fat busters club, ' if i had a bike I certainly know where to park it. :)

a good week in walford.

So do I, that would be unpleasant to watch and there's no way Dean's character could be rehabilitated after that.

I've seen some posters on other sites say they hope Dean and Linda have an affair!! That's a very distorted view of what's been happening. It's very, very clear in my opinion that Dean is obsessed with and harassing Linda, and that there's absolutely no chance she'll reciprocate his feelings.

His obsession has a lot to do with his seriously mixed feelings about Shirley, so I'm hoping she'll eventually step in and help him to sort himself out. I still feel some sympathy with him at the moment as he's had such a terrible time of things and it's obviously affected him deeply. I want him to be able to recover from this and be a likeable character again. I suppose it depends how far down the dark hole the writers take him.

I keep swinging back and forth on whether I sympathise with or dislike Ian at the moment. I still think he might be hiding more than the incident with Rainie.

The Carters are great - my favourites are Stan and Linda. Stan telling Linda she wasn't "servicing" Mick enough (I think that's the word he used) was both shocking but hilarious (not many actors could pull that off imo). Linda's fast become one of my favourite characters in EE, despite my intense dislike for her at first for her rejection of Johnny after he came out.

So far I don't like the couple pairings of Lauren with Dean and Lee with Whitney

They're both awful pairings and quite excruciating to watch. So Lauren sleeps with Dean, who's making it very obvious that he doesn't give a damn about her, and Whitney's decided to jump in with both feet with yet another womaniser. Can't the writers give these young women something else to do rather than jump into bed with the first loser guy who shows an interest? They never seem to learn. Give us a break!

Wow! Ian's sunk to a new low by threatening to place Patrick into a home. I suppose he knows that Denise won't let that happen, but is trying to terrorize a helpless old man into keeping quiet. What a scumbag! (Yes, I'm back to hating Ian this week lol :D)

lee has way more chemistry with bianca :p

denise and mas so going to happen too
