I wonder if Raine will make off with the drugs and leave Phil now she has a nice pile of money that Phil ripped off from the Vic .....So it was Jodie's dad that grabbed Darren and gave him a squeeze on his newly circiumsized thingie OUCHIE..Will be interesting to see how the new CLUB goes..Ronnie Roxy and Jack ...I think Carol got a phone call from that guy but hes probably MARRIED by the way she was acting, but I also think her EGO was badly bruised when she was on her way to the CLUB opening :-( Oh well Bianca has her work cut out for her, I wonder if Whit will eventually get back with that nice guy she was seeing some time back ???? He really was nice to her

desperate psycho druggie phil is brilliant! hes playing it brilliant. I think Raine is to, there showing how desperate they are.

Ronnie really needs a happy storyline, all she does is cry!

[Dutchgirl]

Wow what a powerful episode. Brilliant acting by all parties. Kudos

I was afraid that we would hit the mellow stuff. But it keeps building up.

Steve was fantastic playing a druggie last night.. you could really feel the desperation and that girl who plays Rainie.. fantastic... licking the ends of the bag out just to have some sort of hit.. brilliant acting all round.

Natalie Cassidy has hit out at EastEnders' current storyline which has seen Phil Mitchell become addicted to crack cocaine.

The actress quit her role as Sonia Flower in the BBC soap in 2006 and earlier this year bemoaned her character's lesbian storyline.

She branded Phil's (Steve McFadden) plot as "outrageous" in an interview with New magazine.

"You can't swear or show two people making love before the watershed, yet you can show people smoking class A drugs?" she said. "I was really shocked."

[Siobhan]

we didn't see them actually taken the drugs.. just the effects of it... I wasn't shocked.. just like Jodi, I was fasinated by it

[sean slater]

Its the same as any storyline in a soap. They are there to push the boundaries. Every soap needs the shock factor! Its what makes it entertaining. I dont know if if Phil's escape into drugs is truthful though. It happened very quickly, and its the kind of thing teenagers would experience, not an alcoholic. But saying that I thought the scenes last night between him and Shirley were very powerful.

Is Heather evicted now where is Billy I thought he lived with her or did he move back in with Peggy?
