Current Episode Discussion VI

Tonight's episode was the best in ages Dawn was so funny, Carly was getting into that singing by the end of the song, with all the actions, what a random choice

Also loved the bit with Rob and Genghis

Another great episode of Eastenders tonight! Kara Tointon acted out her labour scenes brilliantly, and her slapping Carly was hilarious! Carly was very funny singing!

The gravy on Rob was really funny too!

Can't wait for tomorrow's episode, May looked evil at the end!

Another new low set by EE tonight.

What is it with EE and scenes on the Underground? We had the awful stuff with Billy and the homeless guy for 9/11, and now we had probably the worst scene ever tonight.

Dawn's waters break on the Tube train. One's first reaction would be to keep her company, calm her down and pull the emergency cord to stop the train at the next stop so she can be escorted from the train or treated by paramedics at the scene. What did we have on EE? Some young adults taking the pee out of her, pointing at her saying she's wet herself. And while Dawn is in agony, some woman tries to tell her about an Oyster card or ticket pass. I mean, how stupid do the writers think we are? That must be some of the most unrealistic pieces of dialogue I have ever heard. Hard to believe this was Sarah Phelps' work. It was more like the work of a nine year old. I can't believe any of the actors or scriptwriters kept a straight face when they checked the script.

I didn't see the second half as I had to go out.

It's moments like the Tube train which convince me that EE is never going to improve, well IMO of course. Of course others may be disagree on my episode review, which is no problem, I like hearing all sorts of different opinions, and the forum wouldn't be the same without them.

Well, for once, I can mostly agree with everyone this time. I agree with richie about the scene on the tube train. Very poor. However, I have to say that, in spite of my previous remarks about Eastenders humour, I did find the scene with Carly singing very funny.

Didn't think much of the gravy though.

Richie.. the train was already stopped and the guy went to the driver and got an ambulance waiting at the next stop for Dawn. She was in no immediate danger to have "treatment" as you called in at the next station

I will assume you have never been in Labour but trust me, people say the most stupid of things to you when you are in Labour (general public I am talking about" cause they don't know how to react to a woman in pain or labour so they babble about the first thing that comes into their head.

I really enjoyed Dawn's labour last night.. it was very realistic.. you will get people to do anything to distract you from the pain and then shout at them for doing it.. Fantastic acting for Kara (gas and air scene fantastic! I have been there). I am not a great Dawn fan, but I liked her last night

Richie in not liking an episode of EE shocker. In other news the Pope announces his religious tendances... ;) Probably best to watch the whole episode before criticising.

I really enjoyed last nights episode, I think they went as far as they dare for early evening TV, showing the cord, bodily (mal)functions, after all this wasn't an episode of Bodies was it!

I could have done without Carly singing but we can't have everything!

Sorry, I must have missed that bit as I got my things together.

I will assume you have never been in Labour but trust me, people say the most stupid of things to you when you are in Labour (general public I am talking about" cause they don't know how to react to a woman in pain or labour so they babble about the first thing that comes into their head.

Well I do know about labour almost as much as my wife who went into labour just over a year ago (she is no longer in labour I should add ). I didn't expect people on the train to instantly take in the news, or to rush to her aid. But the reactions of people going 'ooohh she's wet herself' was totally ridiculous. The first thing people would do (and I've been in a carriage years ago when someone's waters broke) is to reassure her, even if there was nothing they could do.

Well as I say, I enjoyed a fair amount of last week's stuff with Dot (of what I saw), but this week, it didn't work for me. Of course I didn't watch the whole episode (although I think I mentioned that in my post so to show it wasn't any old rant) but the bits I saw were standout (the Tube scene). I didn't even see Carly singing and dancing - my review could have been even more scathing!
