I bawled like a baby on Friday.. such a sweet moving scene with Billy and Pat and then poor billy at the end wanting to keep Janet but Honey saying she is not sure.. excellent from both Emma and Perry... they are doing a good job on this particular issue...:clap::clap::clap:
We have had two weeks of great scripts and then we have to witness such rubbish tonight.
What was the whole point of the tube rubbish. Billy Mitchell tough man ! My god my gran could deck him. I've been on tubes and I have not had this stupidness from drunks etc/.... This episode is pour rubbish no man would act like that and how dare he make a joke of people paying direct debit to charity.
I pay direct debit to charity I bet he bloody does not (I am sorry for using bloody) but its a joke this episode is a total joke and makes a joke of people. Everyone would love to do there bit for charity but cant but by paying it helps the cause
Its 8.16 pm and there is more to come. How awful !!
Oh and what is Sean doing trying to be Dennis (Dont kill of people and then replace that actors part with a new face ! Pointless !! Eastenders this episode is rubbish
Someone please tell me anything good about it!
A very Cross Mr Hump !:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
Oh hang on
9/11 well i remember it every year because it is my birthday today ! They surely could have made a better episode to mark 9/11 or just not at all, it was horrid that it happened, but what the hell we have to move on, no one made such a fuss when us London people where being blown up by the IRA or other countries problems.
Yeah you do carry on Billy, but he is not the only person with a downs kids. They are not handling this subject very well. It is a total disgrace
least ee have mentioned it in the storylines yeah it wasnt a great episode but none of the others have mentioned it and i agree the downs thing could be done a lot better but there just showing what any mum with a downs baby could be feeling
Read Mr Humphries comments, and I agree with some of it. I thought I should say it on this thread.
I was a bit like, what is this?! You can understand them wanting to mark the anniversary, but it's 5 years after, and I don't remember them saying anything when it actually happened. I think Perry Fenwick is a great actor, but he didn't have much to work with. It was a bit of a yawnfest!
Also that stuff with Stacey, Ruby and Sean just slotted in. It was a bit like, what's the point?! A casual mention of Staceys 'miscarriage', and then she was laughing and joking. It just didn't fit.
That being said, I did like seeing that side to Stacey again. And I thought the bit at the end when Honey looked psychopathic was good.
3/10
I have read many of your posts and Sam and have always agreed with you even if I have never said it.
Tonights episode was a joke, EE scriptwriters have no contact with the really world if that episode was to go by. downs is not the end of the world, my sister is seriously disable and it happened at birth well delivery and was the hospital fault, but my rents took it in there stride and give my sister the best, and downs kids derserve the same
and how dare they make a joke of the charity and direct debit joke
it is awful
I really liked tonight's episode, it really made a change with seeing most of tonight's episode with the scene with Billy on the train talking to that man...nice for Eastenders to mention 5 years on from 9/11, quite a lot of realism there.
A good scene at the end too with Honey looking psychotic, Emma and Perry are doing a brilliant job acting out the issue of having a Down's baby.
how boring is this episode? sorry, but listening to billy and some randomers agruing on a train for 15 minutes isnt all that entertaining :(
Did anyone notice that it sounded like Grant doing the Tube announcement?
this can be discussed in the current episode discussion.. merging threads
What a weird episode last night! It's nice that they mentioned 9/11 but the tube scenes went on for too long if you ask me!
I actually enjoyed it.. How many times have you been on a tube when it broke down and what to shut up some asshole who is getting annoyed and harrassing people.. Mind you I did think he was well within his rights to have a go at the woman who was with the child and then turned up on the tube without it... EE got that right, happens all the time
Loved the bit with Honey at the end, she really has just gone into herself and i see that they are not calling the baby Janet.. Poor woman just did not want to be even close to the baby, chanting "there is no place like home..." she is just after having a baby, a huge shock and yet I haven't seen any counceller talking to her directly.. Yes they have talked about the Baby leading a healthy life but she needs someone to talk to, just to let it all out
I actually like the stuff to do with the tube, it was good seeing Billy actually talking about what was going on even if it did take a while. You could just imagen what those people were thinking especially on that day with Billy starting to go psycho on them.
I have spent my entire working life travelling on the underground (37 years) with many breakdowns and I have to say that tube scene was totally unrealistic. In answer to your question, Siobhan, never.Quote:

I agree completely with Mr Humphries about the episode. It was just appalling. Oh yes, and any actor who can make Nigel Harman actually look good must be ready for the chop as soon as possible.
Look at it from the date that is was; 5 years since 9/11, just over 1 year since the london attacks.. would you not try to calm an irrate passenger if you thought you live and the lives of others were going end???Quote:

Why would you think your life was going to end because there was an irate passenger? I don't think a suicide bomber would draw attention to himself by acting like Billy!Quote:

If its the 5th anniversary of something as big as 9/11 was, you are in some respects waiting for the next attack as the terrorists way of marking the event to happen (like what has happened today at the US Embassy in Damascus), so it can make some people edgy and as much as you don't want to live like that, some people (not all) will have that element of worry, panic and doubt in their minds, about the people around them.
When did an EE script writer last travel by tube - there are never beggers on the tubes nowadays, I regularly use the tube and can't remember the last time I got asked for money by women with kids - London Underground put a stop to it years ago, if they are using a story line like this get the facts straight.
trust me it does happen I had one when I was on the tube, demanding money for a cup of tea, so it does still happen.Quote:

I really liked that episode. I'd say 8/10.
So great having the Slaters back! Love seeing them together being a family.
Sean definetely grew on me tonight, I can see potential. Love him and Stacey's relationship, there's a great bond. It's lovely how much he cares for her. Sean can be hard work, but Stacey certainly gives as good as she gets. I don't think she'll be a push over! :)
Big Mo singing 'cheeky girls' at the beginning! lol. And all the Slaters hanging out together, having a laugh. It's classic!
Nice to see Owen's mum in it. Typical reaction to finding out your son is a wife beater, denial. Interesting character.
Phil do not repeat the 'Louise hunt' again! It's getting stupid! lol.
The Slaters did it for me, fabulous!
Well I went with the hype and watched last weeks Deadenders. Brilliant I thought DE is back to what I used to love but last night just went to prove that one swallow does not make a summer.. DE is like the Parsons Egg (Promises lots but delivers little)
I thought tonights episode wasn't bad. Well saying that, I enjoyed the Honey/Billy stuff. And the Denise stuff wasn't too bad.
However, Sean and Ruby really annoyed me. I'm not too keen on Sean, he just seems arrogant, lazy and boring. Ruby with her constant chatting up-ness was irritating. Peggy and Jack, was boring...need I go on..
I enjoyed last night purely for the Honey and Billy stuff.. I thought it was bad of Jack to keep Billy out of the picture in the hospital.. this is his child too and Jack had no rights.. Ok, get Honey to admit it fine but keeping the dad out fo the picture is just not on....
Sean is annoying me, he is not creepy or scary, he is just a pain in the ass... Old saying, never bit the hand that feeds and that is what he is doing to Charlie.. was there any need for the fat jokes again????
Ruby is possiblily the worst flirt I have ever ever seen, talk about thrown yourself at someone, pathetic!!!
im getting quite anoyed with this sean and i also think charlie should kick him right out of that door
Were you watching the same episode as everyone else? Charlie and Sean having a laugh????Quote:

O.k. not them two. Big Mo and Stacey. I think their great!Quote:

Sean is doing my nut in, why did they have to bring him in, i really dont like him, im not likeing Bradley at the moment since he forced Stacey into that abortion but i hope when his in it again he will change my mind.
I feel really sorry for Billy but its been a really good story line. I was so pleased to see Eastenders didnt forget 9/11 on monday, good on them.
God that was a boring episode! lol.
I think Sean's o.k, but I think he'll work better with Stacey. I can't stand the way Ruby is behaving. I just didn't like the scenes between them at all. It seems we'll have a lot more to come though. Maybe it'll get better. Doubtful.
I think Jake is quite sensible, but he's not the owner. He shouldn't treat Ruby in that way. I don't know where he gets off!
I'm confused as to when Jake found out about Sean being Stacey's brother. Ruby didn't point it out, and yet when he was talking about helping his little sister out, it seemed like Jake knew all. Why would Ruby want to hide that fact from him?! lol.
Found the stuff with Owen and his mum boring to watch. He was just repeating everything he'd said to Denise.
The Honey and Billy stuff, you feel like Honey is just about able to accept her child, and then she comes out with a comment like that. Wasn't it the same ending Tuesday night?!
I hate to be so negative, but it's difficult.
your telling me, i can only remember a few bits of it. thats how much i thought of it.Quote:

the bits with jake/ruby/sean is already doing me head in. i thought i would like sean but truth is i dont think i can. if you get me. i think it was a waste, yeah hes good to look at but i dont like his character at the moment. i liked him in the first couple of episodes but not too much now. all that stuff about being 'rusty'. try telling tanya that...
I know! lol. How did Ruby buy that?!Quote:

i have no idea lol! shes got her head up in the clouds proberly.Quote:

Stacey didn't know what he was like though, and if he'd stuck around he would have found out sooner or later. Everybody knows about Ruby and Scarletts.Quote:

A boring episode last night...the stuff with Billy and Honey was good but that was about it really. I didn't like Sean and Ruby on screen last night, i thought they were rather boring to watch, i feel they don't have much chemistry when they are on screen together.
The scene with Owen and his mum was ok, i kept feeling that Owen kept repeating himself all the time though.
Good episode tonight. The Owen stuff is getting a bit better. Some of it with Squiggle was quite emotional.
That scene with Phil and the baby at the hospital was quite good. I'm not being insulting, but when I was looking at them both together, I was thinking they could identify with each other quite a bit. They are both kind of like the 'black sheep' so to speak. I thought it was quite sweet. I can see Phil taking her under his wing, at some point. Giving some bully I right telling off! lol. Oh and Billy was great too!
Glad Phil apologised to Ben. This stuff Phil carries around with him, about having to be hard and tough, it's a load of rubbish. He's still carrying all the stuff around with him, that he got from his dad. He needs to grow up. And it's great he's not going after Louise. Thankyou!
And of course Bradley and Stacey! Ah. Not enough of them tonight, but what we got seemed to show Bradley and Stacey quite distant from each other. Bradley trying to get close and her knocking him back. He did seem quite emotional about it. I like the way it's developing!
The stuff with Billy/Phil/Janet was good, Billy needed to see someone being normal with Janet and the way he started talking to her aswell was really sweet.
So Libby has sympathy for her father, who brought it on himself and really, apart from a few fights, isn't that badly off...but has none for her mother who was abused and held prisoner in her own home....and it's Denise that's the selfish bitch?! :rolleyes:
