Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[tammyy2j]

So much doom and gloom, misery and sad times in EastEnders, no humour anymore even Tamwar has changed and Fatboy is missed

I am not looking forward to Peggy's death, will she stay living with Sal or return to die in her beloved Vic, Mick could rent it to her

I want loudmouth feisty Peggy back to battle Claudette

Phil was able to spot Louise straight away in sports hall of her school even drunk as he was and with her grown up new look

I thought Phil was speaking to Lisa not Peggy at first

Can't argue with that. He's definitely had his slimy moments in EE. Though I can understand some of his motives with protecting Bobby. He's just too blind to the danger that Bobby represents, and all the protecting he's done for him has gone too far. If the truth comes out now, not only will he lose Bobby, but he'll lose everything else including his and Jane's freedom.

Oh, I'm so sick to death of the Bobby storyline! I mean, I suspected that the truth wouldn't come out at Xmas, as that seems to be EE's gimmick now, and Jake Wood (Max) isn't due back for several months yet, but it's gone on way too long now. I can't believe they're keeping it going as long as they have.

But then again days in Walford seem to go on for ever. We have been stuck in the same night the beginning of January for over a week.

What's all this montage music about? Not needed. I actually thought Windsor was good tonight, mainly because she hardly spoke. Quite sad at the end when Phil said he was also dying.

Could Phil get Peggy's liver or depending on where her cancer is and spread to, she could not donate, can cancer suffers donate?

I'm assuming it's breast cancer, as that's what she had before, and she did say "It's back". Dunno about donating.

Just caught up on last week's episodes.

Thursday's was another tour de force by writer Daran Little. The scenes between Sharon & Phil, Sharon & Ian, and Shabnam and Kush were all excellent. I'm so glad Sharon's stopped being Phil's doormat, but is it a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire if she's going to allow herself (and Denny) to get closer to Gavin?

Good on Shabnam for making Kush see he wants to be a father to Arthur!

I'm really annoyed with myself for getting behind in my viewing so that Peggy's appearance and the news of her terminal cancer were spoiled for me!

Friday's episode belonged to Steve McFadden, who proved yet again why he's underrated as Phil Mitchell. Did I detect the way Phil's story is going to develop in Kathy's words to Ben that his father isn't really a thug deep down? Interesting take on Phil and it certainly fits in with the fact that he used to be a much nicer guy. Does that side of Phil even exist any more, and will his loved ones care even if it does?

I must have missed that episode, Dazzle. In which one was he a nice guy?

Way back when Grant was full on psycho, Phil was the nicer brother (which was why Sharon had the affair with him). It's all relative though and I'm using the term "nice" in the loosest sense possible of course.
