    EastEnders provided some much needed light relief after the dramatic and harrowing Emmerdale tonight. EastEnders, light relief in the same sentence, who would have thought that?

    Yes it must be, turn it on.

    I don't disagree with you reference the quality of Emmerdale, when Emmerdale get it right they are simply the best, but EastEnders under SOC has had many lighter scenes recently. I am not saying all have worked and are funny, but there is certainly a change of direction with the show, much to the annoyance of the Twitter brigade.

    The lighter scenes for me work well, seem natural and not as forced like Coronation Street. I can see alot of the work SOC did on the Archers creeping into EastEnders with things like the Church services, the Christmas show, the community feel of EastEnders which is much more visible than in Emmerdale or Coronation Street.

    It is a myth that EastEnders is all doom and gloom, I have never bought into that. I am enjoying the mundane in EastEnders. However many fans do not like this new style for the show. I think EastEnders is now being made for a different audience and is much nearer to the show that was created by Julia and Tony.

    I want the little black cat to find a home for Christmas. Perhaps Dot (who seemed to soften slightly towards it) will adopt it and bring a little love into both their lives?

    I'll be a lot more upset if the cat dies than the other Christmas deaths that have been mooted.

    I wish people would stop believing that, black and black/white cats are the most difficult to re-home because of that Not seen EE for a few days ... better not watch it until fate of cat has been revealed, it would definitely spoil my Christmas if it gets killed and yes, I know it would not be for real but knowing that reality is very close to how this storyline might go, it would serve as reminder

    Was there enough doom and gloom for you in Thursday's downbeat episode?

    We had Phil giving up on life and secretly planning his funeral, Lee desperately trying to throw good money after bad, and Patrick who it seems has nothing to look forward to without the play. The whole tone of the episode was rather dark despite the play shenanigans (which seemed designed more to show the group up as losers than be funny) and the surreal marketplace sing along.

    I'm going away to have a cry now...
