Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Dazzle]

Cracking episode , the whole storyline has become a welcome break from the Lucy Beale whodunit or who didn't do it imo. Thought there was a distinct tear in John Altman's eyes in his final scenes with June Brown , perhaps it was their last time as Nick and Dot ,and he was sensitive to that.

Do you think Nick's gone for good then Glen? I thought it was too low key an exit and I also had the feeling the denoument of the story would happen during the 30th anniversary week (I try to avoid reading spoilers). It sounds like I was wrong!

Nick's been such an iconic character throughout Eastenders history, right from the very first scene of the very first episode. I can't imagine they would let him go out in such a low key way.

I hope you're right!

I wouldn't think it's his finale , for the reasons you give Dazzle, but maybe his last one to one scenes with June . It might just have been cigarette smoke in his eyes .... ,filming out of sequence, and I'm jumping to conclusions (again)... I certainly hope it isn't the last we see of him.

I thought Id read about Nick being in 30th
anniversary too but cant find it now.

In an interview with John Altman in Oct.2014
about his return to EE. -its mentioned that
producer has promised " the Nick story to
end all Nick Stories."As its not an interview
with the producer cant be sure he said that.-
but we havent really had anything so
dramatic yet!

But I hope he did say it and that Nick does
return even if just a short visit - deserves a
good story.
There have been rumours in.press etc of v
dramatic story for Dot & Nick but not happened
yet and you dont like spoilers and not sure if true-
so leave it there.

just hoping more to come and that even if he
is in 30t that that is not final!! for ever.

I don't read the spoilers but do take part in spoiler threads when I can see there's lots of discussion going on (as I enjoy the speculation), so I inevitably learn of major upcoming plots. I've read that

Spoiler:

Nick's apparently murdered

although I have no idea whether it's been confirmed or is just rumour, or when it's likely to take place. That's why I'm not sure if last night was Nick's final scene or not.

I hope that whatever happens isn't final too!

Am I fool because I do think Nick does genuinely cares for Charlie and Dot and I did like their scenes

Loved Yvonne's line to Nick your mother in their fight I wonder did she really burn all the money

Charlie needs to tell Max and Dot the police about Nick

I hate that Jay wont be honest with Abi about Ben, as annoying as she is, he must have loved her at one point they were together so long he owes her that at least

My fault, thought I should clarify what I meant by" final scenes" , the time factor in the episode maybe explains it better. Didn't wish to imply that it was the last we would ever see of Nick in the current storyline ...

He did seem to genuinely care. Maybe he's really mellowing a little in his old age? I think Nick will always be numero uno to Nick though, however much he mellows.

I hate that Jay wont be honest with Abi about Ben, as annoying as she is, he must have loved her at one point they were together so long he owes her that at least

I think to be fair that he did try to tell her at the beginning, but she didn't believe him and accused him of being jealous. Maybe I'm imagining that scene...

Ah right, you meant the final scene they filmed together. I understand now.
