Current Episode Discussion VI

[StarsOfCCTV]

I quite liked the episode Thought Dawn's acting was better than usual

Loved peggy's water gun

Poor Ben though Just as things started to look up....

[tammyy2j]

Rob and May are both complete pschyos. Poor Dawn but at least it is giving her a story. I think Garry and Dawn make a cute couple i like if they explored this. I hope they beat the crap out of Rob. I loved Stella playing footie with Ben she is one of the best characters in Eastenders for a long time. Carly and Shirley stuff was boring as usual

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!

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.

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!

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.

And Peggy with the watergun, hilarious 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 loved last night's episode but aparently 80 people didn't!

Make that 81. I found it horrendous. Sorry.

It wasn't that they didn't like the episode Richie, they thought the contents wasn't right for pre-watershed!

According to DS and Sky News its almost 200. (Strangely no mention on BBC) Not all the complaints were because it was shown pre watershed some were for poor storylining and acting.

Not having watched it I will not comment

Some people have nothing better to do with their time, but complain tho, and other's like to jump on the band wagon, and complain just because others have too!
I personally didn't see a problem with it, and for once didn't feel the need to channel hop during it, which is very rare for me during any tv show at the moment.

Loved peggy's water gun

Glad to see her career in films has been put to good use.

When can we expect to see Carry On Up The Queen Vic

Its not i dont like the Dawn/Rob/May thing, its gripping ill give it that but i just feel something isnt right with it, i understand they had to do the re-write but they didnt do it in a believable way IMO its like monday night you could see where they cut it then stuck a new bit in, its like if i cut up a picture then stuck a bit of a different picture in the middle of it. Thats my only trouble with it, other than that its been good so far this week.

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.

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.

I didn't agree with most of your comments, but I agree whole-heartedly with this one. I just squirmed when Peggy was being all silly and childish. And okay, I must admit I did think of the water gun with the watering.. but from outside lol! . But Peggy was dire last night.

I did really enjoy the episode though. And although I don't think Kara's that great of an actress, I thought it worked. I love Amanda, Stuart and Sophie, so they made the episode for me personally.. although wait May wasn't in it last night, so just Rob really, cause Stella didn't do much.

Yes, I agree that things have been looking up a bit in Eastenders recently but I did think the escape scene was poor and spoiled the whole thing. I know it's only a story and all that but to get away with it you do need to carry it out realistically. I agree with richie's points above. Also, I couldn't see why they let her get as far as the car. Why didn't May just go straight after her?

And Peggy with the watergun, hilarious

Absolutely dire. Eastenders have no idea how to write comedy. Just look at Corrie for how to do it properly. Also, the acting in general. The Dawn/Rob/May scenes are not a patch on Steve/Michelle in Corrie. Now, that's real acting.

[Debs]

Dawn has had me in stitches tonight!

poeple are looking up my twinkle farted on the train
