did sharon open ian's restaurant for herself and linda to have wine

There was a girl there too when they went in.


I agree the Carmel stuff was a bit lame - pointless. Almost telling us, not showing us - as blunt a plot device as any soliloquy in Shakespear.

Are they going to make Phil last for years?

EastEnders bosses have insisted that Shona McGarty won't be quitting the show to launch a music career.

Speculation was rife today that the actress could move from soap to pop after she performed with Swedish indie singer Axel Jansson at an intimate gig in London this week.

The 24-year-old is thought to have belted out a new track called 'Easy as a Dream' with Jansson, but fans shouldn't get too carried away as EastEnders say that talk of a single release is wide of the mark.

An EastEnders spokesperson told Digital Spy: "Shona has made no secret of her passion for music, but EastEnders is her absolute priority.

"This was a one-off gig, she hasn't recorded a single, and this not going to affect her job in any way."

Reports had speculated that McGarty could even quit the BBC show to focus on music, but it's thought that she's in fact keen to stick around in her role as Whitney Dean.

The EastEnders rep added: "She is very much focused on her future at EastEnders."

McGarty has been part of EastEnders since 2008 and her current storyline sees Whitney caught up in a potentially doomed engagement with Lee Carter.

Fans have already seen the star's musical talents when she sang live on Children In Need in 2012. She also took part in a special show, Friday Night Is EastEnders Night​, at the Hackney Empire last year.

Shona McGarty has aired hersinging talent before, shes a lot better than Sonias brood. A quick fling in the charts then musical theatre might be a way to go for her. Enders can be a fickle mistress, now shes ended up with a wooden actor boyfriend and no storyline maybe its time to jump and not be the next Flatboy.

Please dont bring back Terry the minders spawn, she drove me mad with the way she pronounced the word Baby, like a wet weekend.

I still think Nancy hasnt grasped how her temper caused the injury to thingy hat kid, everyone saying its not your fault are ignoring how aggressive she had become pre the incident and how now she seems more worried about herself than the damage done to hat sprog. Anger management and to stop acting the victim might do it, Mick will forgive her but Linda forcing him to do so isnt the gig, but Im guessing Linda will kick off at Nancy st some point in depression and anger.

I don't think that's going to happen. I feel like Mick is being portrayed as being unreasonable and, from what I've read on other sites, most fans agree with that assessment. I'm with you that he's got every right to be angry with Nancy and to find her behaviour unforgivable in the short-term. My only quibble is that I don't think it's in character for him to be quite so nasty about it.

It was good to see Phil's kids rallying around him and I hope he's turned a corner now. I think Phil's decline has been very well written and acted.

OMG Buster and Kathy could it happen

There were certainly some heavy hints dropped about the possibility...

[flappinfanny]

I don't like what they are doing to Mick. He would not behave like he is to Nancy. This is so out of character. He loves all of his children. The only decent bit of the episode was Phil again. Steve McFadden is pulling out all the stops. Kathy is becoming more likeable now she is settling back into the square, sort of filling the gaping hole left by Pauline and Pat.

Personally, I still have this great problem in "liking" Kathy, Jane, Ian, Sharon or Phil knowing that they allowed Max to go to jail for life when they knew he wasn't guilty. I think it was reprehensible behaviour and I can never feel any warmth to any of them again.
