Current Episode Discussion VII

[Joanne]

The people who play the Brannings must all be having a long break as they featured heavily over Christmas/New Year and were in alot of episodes.

Patrick is obviously around but off screen as Dot played back the message she got him to record.

I read an interview with Samantha Janus recently where she spoke about her break coming up so she will be offscreen for a while. Personally I think that's a good thing - Ronnie and Roxy have featured too much for me in recent months.

Why didn't Dot ask Max to record a message.

I think that would give Jim a relapse...

[Katy]

lol, it probably would. It was so sweet the message from JAck.

Loved the bit where Ronnie took the ice i was wondering what she was using it for and then i realised it was for her hand after punching Jack.

if that was me though I would have put the ice over his head and took the champagne

I thought tonight's episode was absolutely brilliant. June Brown deserves every award going for her performance tonight. I was half expecting it to drag on a bit but it felt like it was all over in about 10 minutes.

I laughed, I cried and it made me think about how I am with my own children. More like Auntie Gwen than Dot's real mum that's for sure.

Stunning.

I just watched this on BBC3. All I can say is that this episode was simply incredible. I was in tears - so moving and June Brown was just completely outstanding - a true Eastenders gem. The script, the acting was completely flawless. This whole episode felt so real, and I would rather have an episode like this over a sensationalised episode any day.

Not wanting to exaggerate but for me this episode was the best episode I've seen from Eastenders in recent years. June Brown is a true gem to the acting profession.

I wasn't very impressed by it at all? Don't really see what it achieved?

[Katy]

IT was absolutly amazing, i thought it would not be like that at all. June Brown was tremendous.

I thought I was the only one It was good at the end, but a bit slow to start

Ok so it might not have been every ones cup of tea,, but I thought it was a pretty good episode, I was in tears, and I also laughed out loud..Does any one get the feeling ( my partner thinks so ) that Jim may not be coming back to our screens??

June Brown IS a great actress.
