Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

excellent scenes with lindsey and michael (not quite a two hander) even patsy was good and a julia theme at the end was the cherry on the cake.

Here's hoping...David is one of my all-time favourite EE characters, despite his flaws.

Masterfully acted scenes between Lindsey Coulson and Michael French, although I felt quite frustrated with both Carol and David and their inability to maintain a relationship despite their very obvious love for one another.

Ditto, it was so painful to see two people who obviously love each other so much but can't make it work.

tonights epsiode was ok, it seemed to me like a filler episode. enjoyed the scenes with tina and shilrey taking the mick out of billy and that shirt and it was funny to see the look on their faces when they saw honey. apart from that nothing to shout home about.

Well I am annoyed at Carol, I think David was doing everything he could for her in her condition and she throw it in his face, she even made him leave just as his relationship with Bianca too was going good, she deserved to have her dad around

Carol didn't force David to leave Walford and his family, that was his own decision. Relationships split all the time without the people in question running off abroad and leaving their families behind.

I'm not sure who's more to blame for the breakdown of Carol and David's relationship. He seemed genuinely committed this time, but after a lifetime of the opposite why would Carol believe he meant it this time? Arranging to take her to a plastic surgeon was a completely thoughtless thing to do to a woman who's afraid of being unattractive after a mastectomy. It just reinforced her fears that David would no longer find her attractive. I don't doubt David's intentions were good, but Carol understandably found it insulting.

Then again, Carol's lack of sympathy for David's heart attack was awful. I don't blame him for reacting so angrily, and I was quite taken aback that he came back for more to be honest.

It was a very complex relationship.

I would like to see more scenes between Ian and Carol, build up a good deep friendship between them, both have lost kids so they have that and David in common

[lizann]

so do you reckon ian was calling ben and that is who he meet on good friday

[flappinfanny]

yes i think you may be right.

a better episode tonight, liked the scenes with honey and linda. kellie bright is very good as linda, it feels as though she has been in the square a long time, its hard to believe she has only been in the show since christmas. i can see the character of linda being in the show long term.

i cannot feel sorry for billy. what a choice for honey to make. staying in walford e20 0r going to canada. run honey, run!

I did feel very sorry for Billy at first. It would be devastating for most parents not to see their children for a year. I saw a different side though when Honey explained to Linda how hard it's been to cope as a single mother. I admit I was quite shocked that Billy hasn't been any help to her, as I assumed he was helping out off-screen. It's hard to feel sorry for him when he hasn't taken any of the burden for caring for the kids.

I wonder what'll happen now?

I enjoyed Dean stirring Tina and Tosh's relationship.

[tammyy2j]

It is always the same storylines for Billy struggling to cope and manage but he does love his kids and Lola, Jay and Lexi too

I don't like Tosh and Tina as a couple
