Eastender current episode discussion IV

[mysangry]

So, Rocky is Tom Cotton and in cahoots with Daisy

Question I wonder is, why would Harry Rednap associate with some sort of Crook?

I'm really convinced we should have subtitles for Mick with his overuse of cockney slang.

Danny Dyer thinks it it makes it authentic East End, tho' when I worked in the East End I rarely heard anyone using more than a word or two of rhyming slang certainly not to the extent that he does. I think he makes a lot of it up himself. He really annoys me, with his swagger, "look at me" style of acting. I am glad he is going to be off the screen for a while.

how many kids had old charlie cotton?

Definite proof that Ruby needs a pyschiatric evaluation if she would trust Dotty of all people to run the club, she's the last person that should be left in charge.

As an Eastenders myself, I agree that Danny Dyer does overdo it. Having said that, I have to say that my dad used to use a lot of rhyming slang, though not quite as much as Dyer. I also think it is more of an older generation thing and is not used so mulch these days, certainly not to the extent Dyer does. Though, I also have to say, that I haven't heard anything he's said that isn't "real" rhyming slang, i.e., it's not made up by him.

Mind you, I haven't watched Eastenders for getting on for well over three months now. So perhaps it's got worse.

I assume that Danny has to follow the script.
