Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Dazzle]

Good episode centred around the Beale family tonight. It was good to see more of Bobby too. My heart broke a little bit when he asked if they'd look for Cindy on the common.

Can anyone tell me if DCI Marsden has returned yet? I've stopped watching the show but I always found her entertaining and might try a few episodes again.

She's mentioned in this week's spoilers so should definitely be appearing Thursday or Friday. I don't blame you for being tempted back to EE for Marsden because she's a great character. Let's hope Phil's involved so we have some sizzling scenes between them.

martin comes round to the idea of baby fowler slater finally so good on him

I was pleased about that, although I'm still not entirely on board with Stacey having a baby at this time. If I were her, I'd be worried about Martin being so fickle...

I hoped we would see Cindy and Liam at their prom

and marsbar is back for philip

[Dazzle]

Yes! Marsden and Phil come face to face again!

Could the Beales have looked any more guilty when Keeble asked about Bobby's whereabouts?

Ben and Paul carrying on near a dead body... Whatever will Les and Pam say?

Kush isn't happy that Stacey's having Martin's baby. I'm glad she put him straight about them wanting it.

oh jane has an evil plan forming to set ben up completely will ian go along

[tammyy2j]

Well I am sorry I feel a fool as I was expecting a new suspect not from Dominic's narrowed down list very misleading I wonder who is the new witness could Jane have sneakily called the police and got Ben in trouble and put him in the frame, clearly now she is going to plant the phone in the Mitchell house or get Ian to do it so Ben will definitely be charged with Lucy's murder. Sharon and Billy already think Ben could have done it as he has form with murdering Heather so must be guilty and him running on Jay's say so didn't help.

I did lol'd at Les and Pam saying Paul was finishing off, if only they knew

I took "new suspect" to mean a new suspect to the police. They didn't previously know Ben was in Walford on Good Friday, so hadn't considered him a suspect for Lucy's murder until the tip-off. I don't think there was any sleight of hand by DTC in this instance.

That Jane's a cold one willing to let Ben go down for Lucy's murder. She'd even frame him! I can't see Ian supporting it - at least not for long. (Although it would make for a very juicy mess for Kathy's return.)

It's nice to see the chemistry between Phil and Marsden's still as electric as ever.

Anyone else notice that Ian's recently had a really painful looking stye on his eye that keeps magically appearing and disappearing?

There were some very funny double entendres by Pam and Les in that scene. My favourite was: "I don't want to put him off his stroke"!!!

Very entertaining episode last night. Bobby's certainly unpredictable! I'm guessing he thinks Ian and Jane are covering for Ben, and is determined not to let him get away with it.

Was Jay with Ben when Lucy was mugged ?

Was Jay with Ben when Lucy was mugged ?

He was, so he's now scared the police will find out and nick him too. Plus he thinks (almost certainly correctly) that Phil would let him go down to save Ben. No wonder he's terrified!
