Current Episode Discussion VI

[Kim]

I was wondering that, and annoying my mum asking her what happened, even though she only watches it on a Thursday, generally. I bet she thought, "Get back on the soapboard and stop annoying me." The only other let down I thought was the very beginning, and I wasn't expecting Phil to carry Ben out like that, but for Ben to be asking him to go outside.

I couldn't believe that they had Stella telling Phil exactly where she was and approaching him on that roof when she knew that he wanted revenge, without letting us know what actually happened in Stella's childhood, apart from her parents rejecting her.

I thought they were both really good, last night wasnt a disapointment at all. I thought when Phil drove through the gates to get at her andshe dropped the picture. It was funny the scenes in the pub when she made out Phil had hurt her and Ian let her escape, classic.

Speding off in the wedding car made me giggle as well.

Very good episode, could have done without the Jay scenes though. My theory is she went to jump and he tried to grab her to save her but couldn't! also loved the way she was layed on the car!

[Kim]

I didn't like the ending... I think it was too OTT when Phil was staring at his hands.. I think it would be better if it just looked like she jumped off... and surely there would have been the thud and then the picture of Ben float away as the picture is alot lighter than Stella?!

So what exactly happened to Stella's sister? It wasn't clear to me IMO... x

I think Stealla threw the picture down when she decided to jump, because it really did surprise me that she wanted Ben's half and not Phil's, so it must of been that she wanted it as some kind of trophy. So I think she threw it as she wanted to take it with her. My theory of why Phil's hands were as they were is that he always does that when he feels guilty about something - he felt guilty about Dennis before he had that Macbeth type dream, and if Stella jumped, would have felt guilty about that.

Good episode tonight. The aftermath of the wedding was handled really well in my opinion. I liked how the community rallied together and were all wanting to know what happened. I thought Ian had a right to know what was going on seeing as he's Ben's brother so i didn't appreciate when Peggy and Phil weren't telling him what was going on! I cringed though when Ian said what a great woman Stella was and how she was too good for Phil!

I liked Abi and Ben's scenes together and I thought Phil blaming Tanya for the whole Stella debacle was right out of order but i suppose Phil wanted someone to blame for what had happened. As soon as Tanya said that line though, "it's you that is responsible" i think that tipped Phil over the edge causing him to want him to punish himself for what Stella did to his son, prompting him to confess to police that he pushed Stella.

Bradley/Stacey scenes were good and i enjoyed seeing a glimpse of Lucy slowly turning into a teenage tearaway. It was sad to see Bert go. I grown to like him in the end!

[Joanne]

Stacey is just so miserable at the moment - I can't stand her. Surely Bradley can't be that stupid that he can't notice that something is seriously wrong in their relationship.

What 2 fantastic episodes they were.. I just knew she would blame Ian and then to tell Ian it is phil.. She was seriously loopy.. Loved the scene last night with Ben and Abi

What it up with Stacey.. she is a moody old cow. does she even want bradley or is this to get back at Max???

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I loved lastnights episode, though i could kill Phil for confessing though that was probably Tanya's fault

Good episode, Ian being a big kid and drawing on the balloon then popping it i hope he stops defending Stella now though.

[Bryan]

Great episode, Eastenders back it is old self imo, home they can maintain this, with the Mitchell Sisters coming I think they could just well do that.

Great mix of storylines, comedy and drama. In a way it's sad to see Burt leave, but I think Jase will become an intresting character.

Loved Aunt Sal's scenes, and the scenes set downstairs in the Vic, a cliffhanger fit for the hall of fame

Great Episode last night. I hope everyone finds out soon about Stella especially Ian
