Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Dazzle]

I thought Friday's episode was the best one we've seen for a while. Mick and Linda are back on track - thank goodness - and I'm pleased that Mick doesn't seem too devastated about his latest rift with Shirley.

I am finding it hard to continue watching until Dean get his comeuppance and this Roxy/Ronnie twisted sister saga will end

I agree about Dean, and also about Ronnie as she's been written recently, but I thought the Ronnie/Roxy fight scenes in Friday's episode were excellent. They really dug into their backstories and - for once - the characterisations were spot on. I felt for both sisters in those scenes.

The way she is being written at the moment
is very strange.!

I was puzzled too, but I now realise that Roxy's relationship with Dean has brought up lots of buried emotions about Archie and that she hasn't been coping with it. She seemed to get her groove back on Friday (for now at least). If Ronnie's going to be written as a villain, I hate seeing her so ineffectual.

When are we going too see more of Cora's story? DTC promised her homelessness would be explored in an interview a while back.

I thought it was Cora would gave Denise's address to the police

I thought it might be Carl's family, but you're right it's more likely to be connected to Vincent. Maybe it's both?

I think you're probably correct.

OK. So who saw that coming then?

Ha ha...definitely not me!

Vincent just got interesting if Ronnie's correct. Is he long-term undercover to infiltrate a crime ring/gang? Is he good or bad? He's obviously capable of bending the rules but that didn't necessarily make him outright dirty. Is he a mole for the police or the criminals (I'm thinking of the brilliant film The Departed)? Could he just be an informer? The possibilities are endless at this point (especially if EE have no intention of making his situation remotely realistic). I wonder if it has something to do with Gavin and his gang?

On another Vincent note: I hate hate HATE the decor of the Hubbard house. Is dark, oppressive grey combined with dull vomit green on trend or something?

Phil plays such a good drunk! I hated smug Shirley gloating over him and Sharon (although I bet a certain obsessive Phil/Shirley fan took that as sexual tension between the former couple... )

I don't like Mrs Hubbard either. She's a right stirrer with (Pearl's mum) putting ideas in her head about splitting up the B&B.

I don't see how he can be mixed up in some dodgy undercover thing cos his mum/wife/Donna are all around. Don't they go off undercover and be someone new?
