Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

It's so out of character for Phil to give into Vincent like that. I can just about accept Ronnie's attitude given her continuing disability and new baby but Phil willingly handing over his business to an enemy?!

It is in character for him to trample over poor Sharon's wishes however.

So Ronnie and Charlie are going to pretend their respective indiscretions never happened. That's going to work out well...

(Can I just mention what a relief it is to watch EE without having to spend time with the execrable Dean and his repugnant and ever growing sense of entitlement.)

I'm loving Kim being a mother. Pearl's so cute with that thick hair!

I think I would have preferred now if Ronnie had died or stayed longer in her coma

I like what I've seen of Paul so far. The actor seems good and he has a genuine charm about him (and good comic timing). That's some sizzling chemistry with Ben too.

I also like that Paul being cast means more screentime for the Cokers (and Billy). I was sure Les wasn't having an affair with Claudette and that there'd be a twist but it seems I was wrong (again!).

I couldn't help but laugh at Sharon's horrified face when she saw the shambles that's her "father" even though I'm disgusted at Phil for such a cruel trick. Just when I think he can't sink any lower!

The writers seriously need to stop Sharon being Phil's doormat once and for all. She needs to go through with her threats to leave so he knows he can't get away with treating her badly again. She's correct that he doesn't see her as an equal and that needs to stop if the writers want viewers on board with the relationship.

Paul reminded me of a young Christian. A good solid start. He even made Ben watchable. Jonny Laby is a good signing. He also oozes sex appeal. Loved Paul's line to Ben 'and just in case your wonderin, this tan is all over, no white bits.' No wonder Ben's tongue was hanging out, I thought he was going to hyperventilate. The line delivered beautifully by Jonny.

Nice scenes with Pam and Paul. Sharon was superb tonight. Lindsey Coulson just owns every scene she is in. I should not have, but I really enjoyed the ep.

I agree with you insofar as Paul's very confident in his sexuality like Christian was, but I can't see it otherwise. I also think Jonny Labey's a far better actor than John Partridge.

I don't understand why Phil is cleaning up Ronnie's mess and giving away his and Sharon's business

Tangoed Paul made a good debut catching randy granddad Les and his bit on the side and making Ben a happy lad

abi and sharon proving women are smart can see the truth even if abi still wants ben
