Well I was being a little sarcy in my reply. I didn't find it gruetesque, just dreadfully scripted and badly acted. Mind you, at times I wondered if EE had moved from Elstree to nearby Pinewood. All it was missing was a cliched thunderbolt and Christopher Lee in a cape flying down from the roof.
I am as surprised as you are by the complaints though.

I've been really impressed with Eastenders these past two days! Have thoroughly enjoyed them, for all the rubbish we've been given, this weeks offerings have shown a great deal of improvement, let's hope they can keep this up without the fantastic Stuart Laing and Amanda Drew!
Now I saw an episode or two last week and thought it was alright, thanks to the wonderful June Brown. Despite the talents of Amanda Drew, it didn't work for me this week, and I also think Stuart Laing is awful.

I don't care what people think of Kara Toninton, she's shone throughout this storyline, and is now one of my favourite characters. I've enjoyed this storyline from start to finish, and it's good to see it reach a satisfying and explosive conclusion.
Kara, and this storyline, have had their moments. However I've found these to be more negative overall, rather than positive. She doesn't look that pregnant on the face though. Monday was really bad when Dawn escaped. The way she smashed Rob over the head with the vase/paperweight thing was unintentionally funny, and it was also amazing how she quickly escaped and had the energy to escape. Remember she hadn't eaten all weekend, so where did she get the strength to get away? She also got in May's car incredibly easily for someone about to give birth. The seat would have to be adjusted backwards to accomodate the bump.

I'm really liking Shirley, she's one of the best things to hit Eastenders in ages, I love how they're exploring her turbulant relationship with Carly, can't believe she pushed her mother infront of a moving cab!
Linda Henry is a top talent, but she seems a little bored and I can't blame her really. Can't stand Carly.

Stella and Ben were good aswell, you just know that kid is gonna get beaten up for smakcing the ball into her face, it's just a shame that this storyline isn't going to last for much longer, as Sophie Thompson has given an outstanding performance from day one.
She's worth watching alone, even though this storyline doesn't work for me at all. Wasn't convinced by Stella's reason for keeping Ben off school last night at all.

And Peggy with the watergun, hilarious
I thought this was absolutely dreadful, 'humour' at its very worst. It reminded me of why I think EE is horrendous at comedy. Why did Peggy not get a watering can and bring it upstairs to water the hanging baskets, or even used a bucket or something from the kitchen. I thought it was all childish and stupid, and definately the worst thing about the episode.

I even like Keith and Mickey yesterday, didn't think I'd ever say that! Not a bad word to say about Eastenders atm.
I thought they, plus Rob, were painful to watch last night. Ghengis Khan was the better actor.
All in all, I found it very bad television.
