I am sad that you feel that way, because you must have really like Eastenders to choose it for your coursework. It find the episodes ok, but I totally agree we where all lead to believe that they where going to explosive !Quote:

why did they have to kill him off, i assume thats what happened to Jake. I would have been much nicer if hed have walked of into the dark merky tube station or something. (was going to say sunset but i realised it was albert square after all) Its such a shame.
As for Ruby, just showed how much she couldnt act. there was hardly much emotion for someone who found her dads dead. Just a screwed up face. Bit pathetic if you ask me.
Highlight was Jake saying well done your really on your own now.
Lastnight was the best ive seen Jake's character for a very long time, which is anothing thing about Eastenders, the day they leave they make the character really good and make you wish they wasnt leaving
Yup, because we get to choose it out of Hollyoaks, Coronation street and EE.. We discussed it and found out Hollyoaks is for younger viewers and Coronation Street is mainly for older viewers but EE is both. So I thought I could write about it. I have to write about the main storyline and characters over the half term.. was really looking forward to it as well!!Quote:

I think I will catch the omnibus for the sake of my coursework tomorrow though.. But I do like EE.. did since I was like 8 but it's just a dissapointing..
Sorry for going on guys x
Dont be sorry spicy hun, i think your right, i love Eastenders and no matter what that wont ever change and i wont ever stop watching but i think its having big issues at the moment and lastnight was the worst ive seen, ive never been bored watching Eastenders until lastnight, they should have gone all out to suprise us, do something different for once but they played it safe and i was able to predict what would happen before it happened which is why i was bored, i remember the episodes where they kept you guessing and changed their style to make it fun and have viewers on the endge of their seat but the episodes now its luckyif viewers are even sitting up watching it never mind sitting on the edge of their seatQuote:

I tuned into EastEnders in the second half of this week, and I'm afraid to say I was very disappointed. Found the episodes once again too dull and predictable for my liking, with Jake and Ruby wooden as ever, though the former was better than previous dismal performances. That prison guy who misheard Johnny, blimey what a stereotype he was. :rolleyes: I didn't buy Johnny's 'last request', nor the prison officer visiting Ruby as already mentioned.
As for the Denise/Patrick parentage stuff, how pathetic. I don't like the Foxes (or the Wicks for that matter - Pat magnificant being the exception), and the excellent Truemans are worth far me than this tedious storyline.
The only good things was the brief but welcome appearance of Queen Pat, and I don't actually mind the Sean bloke, in spite of this club/manipulation rubbish.
Overall, not good at all.
Oy! I may be getting on a bit, but I'm still some years off queuing up for ages every Thursday morning at the Post Office. :nono:Quote:

Best Episode of the week - Thursday.
I've never seen Holyoaks, so I can't comment, but I think the thing Coronation Street has that Eastenders doesn't have is humour!Quote:

I agree 100% with you comments, Richie, by the way.
Thanks.
I'm not so sure EE needs the humour actually, apart from the odd one-liners here and there. It needs to focus on its core strengths: believeable drama e.g. baby Hassan, Trevor & Little Mo, Kathy's rape and many others - stuff that really tugs the heartstrings, rather than modern attempts we've had at this which seem convoluted, non-believeable, short-termist and with characters superceded by plot. That's where better scriptwriting and betetr acting then come into play. You need a base to push on a do good things. Get the basics right, and then one is in a position to push boundaries. From what I have seen of EastEnders since I stopped watching at the end of March, it has yet to achieve that.
Fair enough dear I wasn't disputing that. I just thought I'd tickle your belly a bit. :)Quote:

Was the omnibus different to Fridays actual episode?! Is that it the last we see of Jake is him standing in front of some guy?!
Jees, now i know why i haven't been watching EE :rolleyes: :thumbsdow
why was that the last scene of jake?
those two guys were hitmen hired by Johnny Allen's dumb cellmate to kill of the wrong guy.. he misunderstood that johnny wanted Jake to kill Sean, not for someone to kill jakeQuote:

Tonights episode i enjoyed. I think Ruby needs to get to grips and see what Sean's doing to her but she won't! His face When Ruby Said She Was Going To Sell The Club And Give All The Money To Charity:rotfl: i think Ruby's expecting to much off him did you see him when she was in tears he looked seriously bored!! Well anyway why can't pauline just get to grips that Rebecca is Sonia's Child and you can't keep a chil away from it's mother unless The dad got custody but Nartin never got custody did he? well i don't think he did!
Jakes exit was very disapointing, I thought we'd at least see him die! No closure for me :p
Some parts of tonights was alright. Fail to remember which parts at the moment. I did actually laugh a tiny bit with Ruby crying..
I actually caught Jake's exit and it was exactly like Paul Trueman's. No closure, no big explosive exit, nothing.
Very disappointing yet again.
lmao you evil sod :p :DQuote:

Can some one tell me why Patrick hates Aubrey so much??? What exactly is the history between those two besides singing in a group ???:searchme:
I don't know but I am going to assume he tried it on with Audrey, Patrick's ex wife..Quote:

When are Eastenders going to give up on this Sonia/Martin/Pauline storyline, massive ee fan but it's getting tiresome:mad: ? Good ol' Pat, you,ve gotta love her. She is fantastic, lol at the basic instink video:rotfl: . Yolande/aubrey was good too.:)
They couldn't show it because it was before the watershed, yeah i would of loved to actually see it but it would,ve needed to be on at 9:00pm or else they'll be complaints. The exit itself was actually good, dying in a gangland murder just dissapointing we couldnt see it.Quote:

I had to laugh at him, looking at his watch and making faces :rotfl::rotfl: then he just snogged her to shut her upQuote:

Now getting back to the topic, You could almost see Ruby and Sean laughing during that because it was so pathetic!
Loved The Whole Baking The Cake Drama ! Will be interesting to see Dot's effort, you just know that she is going to wipe the smile straight off Pauline's face :lol: :rotfl: :lol: :rotfl:
Yeah, sean sure is fit, and he has a nice body. Oooh yes that Cake drama was good, there is some more of it tonight and it does sound good. Pauline needs that smile wiped of her face.Quote:

Woooh Yolande..:eek: Little bit of repeating thing going on there.. seeing as it already happened with Patrick and sort of 'saw it coming'.
He's the named guardian as Margaret rumbled the joint one before she died. So Martin could keep Rebecca away from Sonia if he wanted to, but doesn't.Quote:
