Who thought Tanya had lost the plot, when she appeared with the knife, psycho came to mind, talking of psycho, Ben looked very much the part tonight, baking his cakes and smirking,

thurs was another good ep. jo joyner was superb, loved tameka scenes, very funny. ann mitchell stole every scene she was in. and not forgettin ben he has really grown on me, even though he has had a personality transplant, bye bye billy elliott, hello norman bates. ee is on a roll this wk. 9/10.

Only EastEnders could come up with a stupid scene like that.

Eastenders has never been able to do comedy, so I don't know why they still try - the shredding of the sofa was beyond ridiculous.

Kim and Cora are two examples of characters who are great for comedy in EE

[Brucie]

Don't know about Cora, unless it's funny to smoke around a cancer suffere, but the girl who plays Kim is definitely a natural comedienne. It's the scriptwriters who haven't a clue about comedy

Cora delivers some great one liners

I agree about Cora. Kim just makes me cringe. Far too OTT.

[sarah c]

Cora is the one liner queen....


and apologies for being thick, how does smoking affect the cervix?

im sorry i have to disagree, it may not be slapstick northern humour ( and that isn't a dig at cs or ed) beacause they do humourous scenes in their own way which works for that type of continuing drama very well. but it is a myth that ee dosent do or cannot do humour. for example:-

the charity shop scene with cora, tanya and lauren

cora, tanya and lauren were trying hats on in the charity shop. tanya: 'a bit mother of the bride. cora: 'village of the damned me.' lauren: nan you got me all wrong,seriously, im not anti mariage.' then lauren with a big grin on her face says: 'im just waitin for some one just like my dad.' cora had the best line: 'your really sellin it to her tanya, aint you got feet to file.' that scene was ee at its best. zaniab and denise are having funny scenes again, good to see them gettin back to their biting selves. denise to michael in the minute mart: 'keep me away from joyful jamilla.'

Like the pairing of cora, rose and dot, walfords answer to the golden girls. cora is ee saviour.
