Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Dazzle]

Remember there's a second episode of EastEnders on tonight at 8.30pm (repeated on BBC3 at 10.35pm).

No, the police weren't aware of Stacey's guilt at that time. Janine (who hated Stacey) found out about it but had no proof, so she stabbed herself and made it look like Stacey had done it.

When Kat found Stacey living in London several years later, Janine was about to go on trial for Michael's murder. She made a deal with Kat that she'd clear Stacey's name in return for Kat's testimony that it was Alice who murdered Michael. Stacey then decided to admit to murdering Archie because she could no longer live with the guilt.

is alice still in prison?

mick giving it all large to ryan is linda preferring girlie whitney to tomboy daughter nancy, is lee depression gone and forgotten about

Wll, Ian's a complete moron, but then again it's not like we didn't know that. I can't believe he didn't tell the headmistress about Bobby's behaviour. I mean, I get he doesn't want to indicate that his son's a murderer, but he should have told her about his temper and the fact he's been spoilt. School's need to know that sort of stuff. What if he attacks another student?

I was very pleasantly surprised to see Ryan return so he could be redeemed. Lovely scenes between him, Whitney and Mick. I still feel sympathy for Whitney despite the kiss. I'd be surprised if she didn't fall a little bit in love with Mick after the way he supported both herself and Ryan. I bet he's the type of father figure she's always craved. Mick the hero!

(However, my sympathy will soon wear thin if she's going to make a play for him... )

I wonder if Ryan turning himself in is laying the groundwork for a future return? I'd like to see Whitney's brother and Lily's father back on the square. He truly loves them both.

Bobby looked happily ensconced in his new school. He may be a little too much in his element there...

It's nice to see Les and Pam tentatively growing closer again.

is alice still in prison?

No, Janine surprisingly felt guilty when Alice attempted suicide, so she admitted to killing Michael but managed to persuade the jury she was the victim and got off.

(As an aside, Max was all for Kat perjuring herself and getting his innocent niece sent down so that his beloved Stacey could return. Maybe his current predicament is a touch of karma? )

Part 2 was a lot more exciting! I enjoyed the scenes with Phil and the hospital. Of course, Phil's not gonna stop drinking (alcoholics never do at first). I'm willing to bet Louise is gonna be the one whose liver can save Phil's life.

Poor Ronnie. Seems like she's having to deal with one bad thing after another.

I'm glad Mick told L about what happened with Whit. Far as I know, they're the first couple on EE who have ever been straight with one another. I think it's a bit stupid of them, though, for keeping Whit in the house. She's clearly not over Mick.

[Dazzle]

Yes, it was definitely the right decision by the writers that Mick be straight with Linda. We need have no fear that he'll be tempted by Whitney if she's determined to have him.

I thought I detected I detected a bunny boiler-ish glint in her eye at the end of the second episode. I really hope they don't go down that route...

The way Mick dealt with Ryan was partly a clever ploy to get his money back. It wasn't only about him being a goody two shoes. Mick was using his noggin!

(I totally heard that last sentence in Danny Dyer's voice! )
