Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Dazzle]

I'm not sure I understand what is going on regarding Kim selling her half of the former B&B. I believe the two original houses were knocked into one, so for Kim to sell her half she would have to return the property to two separate properties. And this, I presume, is the reason that Denise and Patrick were talking about the money it would cost them in builders and decorators. But surely all that would be down to Kim to pay for?

I agree, I don't see how Kim could force Denise to pay half for work that's not essential. Also, surely Kim understands Denise's precarious financial situation and wouldn't do so even if she has the right.

Well all that business with Ronnie, Vincent and Phil was a load of old tosh.

Yes, the Vincent and Ronnie/Phil* feud is a load of old tosh lol, but I must admit to feeling gleeful that Ronnie got one over on Vincent. That's the spirited Ronnie I know and love!

Didn't Bobby manipulate Jane like pro! I think many parents will recognise themselves in Jane giving in and buying him the bike out of guilt (I certainly do ). I wonder if we're supposed to see Bobby's powers of manipulation as evidence he's a stone cold psychopath in the making?

Elliot Carrington who plays Bobby has certainly perfected the art of the evil expression.

Disgraceful that Ann Mitchell is nothing more than an extra now, Winston and Tracey have more scenes and lines and Mick if you really cared about Stan's memory, then you would not let Cora sleep in Arthur's potting shed and scavage like a dog for food.

I totally agree about Cora and the Carters, but I'm just glad the former's situation appears to be being addressed at last. It's been ignored by most of the square's residents for far too long.

I found I had something in my eye when Elaine told Janet she'd be playing the Angel Gabriel...

* Even though Phil's totally oblivious to the fact there is a feud.

Line of the night goes to Kim:

"I would show you my downstairs but I've got the decorators in... It's very spacious though"

The rest of the ep was pretty poor to be fair. Denise was good, but Diane is good even with bad material.

I did have to smile at old Grandops Mitchell with the walking stick.

Memo to dear old Dom Treadwell-Collins, Richard Blackwood can't act.

Libby knows more about Jordan

Masood's reaction to that line was very funny too.

Is a pig's head in a box the East End version of a horse's head in the bed?

Vincent has declared himself content to just be a husband and a father, and seems happy with his lot. Is this an example of the soap cliche that tragedy strikes those that are happy?

Spoiler:

Will it be him that dies on Christmas day?

The police investigation into the Mitchells and organised crime makes more sense now we know they're after someone higher up the food chain than Phil. Could it be Gavin? I can't remember now, but are he and Kathy meant to have been living back in London for years?

I'd love to see Denise visit Lucas. However, if it goes ahead I think it'll happen off screen because I believe the actor is currently starring in Holby City. Whatever happens, it's looking as if bad boy Jordan will soon go and live with Denise and Patrick. I'm guessing he and Ben will be mortal enemies...

does tanya not know the state her mother is in, she would take her in with her

You would think Abi would have told Tanya, but Abi is too busy being a Mitchell.

Ann Mitchell was the stand out actor tonight, her scenes in the Vic with Babe were outstanding. The Vincent stuff is laughable, that last scene was truly awful in terms of acting, but in a funny sort of way the worse it gets the more watchable it is. If that makes sense?

Are we going to get an eating disorder storyline for Linda now? How many more issues are we going to get thrown at the Carters? That storyline could have been given to another character in the show. Elaine is really grating on me now. I liked the storyline with Dot and Stacey with the Bible and Stacey reading it to Lilly.

Not a bad episode to start the week, far from perfect, but an improvement on last week.

It might be a bit difficult for Dexter and Ava to keep in touch with Cora as she doesn't have an address for them to write to and I can't imagine she has a mobile phone.

[tammyy2j]

I am sure Jane would have told Tanya about Cora if Abi isn't talking to her mother

I liked the scenes with Denise, Shirley and Kathy and Dot with Stacey

I thought Claudette knew Vincent was working with the police
