Eastender current episode discussion IV

[Dazzle]

Was this Lee´s exit???

I think it must be because it felt final. It was a melancholy ending for him. Mick's going to feel guilty about the way he's treated him recently.

Michelle and Preston really went for it!

I hope Bex has now wised up to Louise and that the song about "someone who I thought liked me" is about her traitorous and uncaring "friend".

The Dot scenes were very good tonight. Mick has got a nerve. If I was Lee I would wash my hands of the lot of 'em and just go and not even contact Mick.

The Ben, Jay and Kathy scene was good, however the rest was a bit ropy to be fair. I loathe any teen scenes and what accent has Preston got? It ain't yanky doodle.

An hour is too long for EastEnders. Coronation St might be laughable with poor actors (I have seen better actors in a Sunday School play) but it's an easy watch, something EastEnders isn't these days!

Really not liking the new Michelle and the scenes with her and Preston snogging their faces off were just yuk. Michelle is seriously deluded if she thought the teaching agency wouldn't check her references!

Michelle's growing on me (apart from the Preston thing) but I agree she was deluded to think they wouldn't check her out before employing her.

It was a nice surprise to see Lee. I'm so glad he isn't going to just disappear without a word. I'm assuming tonight will be his final appearance and I hope Mick treats him a bit more kindly this time rather than just repeating that he should "man up" and "go and sort his head out".

I don't like the fact that Michelle is looking for a teaching job. She should just admit she broke the rules and not do teaching anymore.

She was so nasty to Preston too. It's not all his fault!

I agree, she made her bed, now she has to lie in it.

I founds Lee's final episode really affecting but I do wish someone had suggested he seek professional help in Dover. Everyone knows you can't outrun your troubles and, while getting away from the relationship and family (particularly Mick recently) that are chipping away at him might help in the short term, it's unlikely to make much difference long-term. Hopefully there'll be happier news of Lee down the track (I think Mick seeing the fox in the bushes at the end hinted that Lee would "find his place").

I thought Lee's conversation with Whitney - particularly the part about always expecting her to wake up and see the real him - was a very good explanation of why people with low self-esteem struggle to maintain relationships.

I don't know whether Dot is deluded or not about her eyesight but I couldn't help but smile at her positivity.

I realised tonight that the long-running bin collection problems plaguing Walford are probably part of the plot to destroy the area. If so, it's certainly working as far as the Vic is concerned. Max and his criminal friends must know people in high places on the council. I wonder if the food poisoning reports are also part of it?
