EastEnders (Sean O'Connor exit will be "baroque")

[Marsh.]

A mess at the next big story being Denise unable to afford food.

[Marsh.]

I'm sick of all the stories being about being poor.

Get enough of that in real life. I watch soaps for a bit of entertainment.

[Firewire]

Ted Reilly is atrocious, he makes me cringe so much

[Ashley.]

I thought he was alright in tonight's episode?

I agree with this, his reaction to the bet thing made me cringe so bad.

Omg when he delivered the who let the dogs out joke last week. :worry:

[reece(:]

Johnny actor is just atrocious and not in a good way like Les

[Marsh.]

Les was good. :nono:

[Rob!]

Abuse of the Cokers will not be tolerated :nono:

Les was good. :nono:

The actor was terrible though but in a watchable funny way

The Minute Mart manager upping prices in order to starve our Denise to death?

Also I hate the way Caramel pronounces it "Deneez"

[Marsh.]

I hate the way Denise says Carmel too. Well most of them.

I say Carmul. Denise says Car-MEW

[Ashley.]

I say Carmul. Denise says Car-MEW

I say Carmel.

[Ross.]

I say Carmul.

You wot

[Marsh.]

Autocorrect :joker:

[Ashley.]

Yeah alright at Carmul but what on earth is a Carmew?

[Marsh.]

I say it how it's spelt. Denise puts emphasis on the MEL and doesn't even pronounce the L.

[Ashley.]

Neither do I. :shrug: It's just the accent.

[Marsh.]

Yeah alright at Carmul but what on earth is a Carmew?
She pronounces the end like a w instead of an L. :joker:

Listen to her next time.

[Marsh.]

Not me slagging Ashley off. :worry:

The emphasis on MEL bugs me though.

[Amy Jade]

Lisa Faulkner :flutter:

[LukeB]

Tracey getting to speak :love:

[Braden]

When will SOC stop queer-baiting with this Abi/Donna romance?

Anyway, I'm honestly so compelled by Eastenders lately because of how tragic it is. It's like watching a horror film between your fingers.

[LukeB]

This Max storyline is boring.

[Vanessa]

I quite like Lee on this. He's not bad.

[Amy Jade]

Derek and Lisa Faulkner taking down Keegan :love:

As ****ing IF an out and proud lesbian would be seduced by Lee Ryan

As ****ing IF an out and proud lesbian would be seduced by Lee Ryan

It's just not believable at ALL.

I agree but Tina is just a mess and is quite not herself. Lee just took advantage (he probably would in real life, since lee is playing himself)

But its just stupid, soc must be working with other soaps to destroy eastenders.

[reece(:]

Tina and Lee Ryan hooking up? Oh god what next :rolleyes:

[Denver]

Hopefully her next storyline is Texit :fc:

Rita is playing Jennifer Coolidge's role? :clap1:

But I feel like they announced this before she even left EastEnders?

[Marsh.]

As ****ing IF an out and proud lesbian would be seduced by Lee Ryan

It's just not believable at ALL.

I'm sure she's bisexual?

Didn't she tell Billy she'd had relationships with men back when he was trying to shag her?

[Ashley.]

http://i.imgur.com/OIKq18w.gif

[Rob!]

I mean presumably she has had sex with men seeing as she's a mother but still.

[Firewire]

She's had relationships with men but she identifies as a lesbian

[Denver]

Just because you identify as something does mean you are that just Ask Lostie and his Vegetarianism :fan:

[Firewire]

Yes but the problem is lesbian women are often shown as being able to be seduced by men which makes their sexuality look weak

It's a trope that I thought EastEnders knew better than to follow but never mind

[Denver]

A true lesbian would never fall for it

[Ashley.]

Just because you identify as something does mean you are that just Ask Lostie and his Vegetarianism :fan:

Right

[Marsh.]

She's had relationships with men but she identifies as a lesbian

Well if she's had relationships with them then her vagina has the capacity to be turned by them. :smug:

[Marsh.]

Yes but the problem is lesbian women are often shown as being able to be seduced by men which makes their sexuality look weak

It's a trope that I thought EastEnders knew better than to follow but never mind

True but ever since the character has been introduced we've known she's attracted to both sexes even if she might have a preference for women overall.

Not like Sonia who picks up and drops her lesbian status when it suits. :omgno:

[reece(:]

Just because you identify as something does mean you are that just Ask Lostie and his Vegetarianism :fan:

You have receipts of this tea?

You have receipts of this tea?

yep i saw him munching KFC

Just going to leave this here

Eastenders 5.36m
Emmerdale 6.06m

:fan:

You're all forgetting she had to lick Sonia's rug. That would put you off for life.

[Denver]

I still dont get how she pulled the hottest guy in the square until her jealous lover murdered him

[Denver]

although RTE in Ireland will be premiering Kat and Alfie: Redwater on May 14, BBC One has yet to make an official announcement about its scheduling.

Messy Mess

[LukeB]

She made a good point. They have two bar managers and more other staff. so they do need to cut staff.

[Amy Jade]

The Vic cutting staff. Pray for our Trace :worry:

http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/20/590x/secondary/Tracey-the-barmaid-340107.jpg

[Amy Jade]

She made a good point. They have two bar managers and more other staff. so they do need to cut staff.

They only really have 4 staff anyway don't they?

- Tracey
- Whitney
- Woody
- Shirley

[LukeB]

They only really have 4 staff anyway don't they?

- Tracey
- Whitney
- Woody
- Shirley

They have Sharon and Johnny to. So she should cut one bar manager(their wage is higher) and one staff.(just not tracey)

[Amy Jade]

Sharon is getting paid fot the Vic? She's only been in twice ffs. Sharon and Woody were the last in, should be the first out.

[Amy Jade]

Abbey staying with Dot :flutter:

[LukeB]

Sharon is getting paid fot the Vic? She's only been in twice ffs. Sharon and Woody were the last in, should be the first out.

I wasn't quite sure until she said something about buying shoes with wagers to Shirley.

[LukeB]

Abbey staying with Dot :flutter:

A good decision :flutter: i don't like seeing Dot lonely and miserable.

[LukeB]

Are they acting infront of Fi?

[LukeB]

I forgot about Abi working at the vic, so she should get the sack not Tracey (she has a job at the vets)

[Amy Jade]

I will fume if Woody has just thrown Trace under the bus.

I'll hate him more than I did on CBB

[LukeB]

-Sacking Tracey
-Abi moving out

oh ffs

[LukeB]

SOC is trash!

[Amy Jade]

I am livid. Please please please please kill Woody asap

[Denver]

Sacking Tracey is the worst thing ever to happen on EE

[Amy Jade]

Tracey was the only one who did any work, Sharon and Woody have been there two weeks and they fire somebody with 30 years service? I hope the vic burns to the ground

[Firewire]

Bursting a condom on purpose without your partner's knowledge is a form of rape, right?

[Firewire]

What I don't get is how Sharon and Phil don't get involved in the Vic

If they buy a percentage from Mick/Linda/Shirley then they'd have some money to use to help pay off debts

[Black Dagger]

Nah he can **** off. This is the last straw.

[Brother Leon]

Bursting a condom on purpose without your partner's knowledge is a form of rape, right?

Yeah. ****ed up behaviour, but I read that it's on the rise so fairplay for the storyline I guess.

[Ashley.]

Bursting a condom on purpose without your partner's knowledge is a form of rape, right?

It's a form of domestic violence for sure, though there have been several arguments on whether it should be considered rape (I would disagree, though).

[Tom4784]

SOC should not work in Television.

[LukeB]

Axe SOC campaign!!

[Denver]

Ive only seen Men get in trouble for it so is the law the same for a woman who pokes holes in a condom?

[Marsh.]

Bursting a condom on purpose without your partner's knowledge is a form of rape, right?

Unless Lauren catches him at it, she'll never know surely? She'd think "Oh sh*t, I'm pregnant by accident" as condoms aint 100%. :worry:

[Marsh.]

I still dont get how she pulled the hottest guy in the square until her jealous lover murdered him

who? what?

[Marsh.]

Sharon is getting paid fot the Vic? She's only been in twice ffs. Sharon and Woody were the last in, should be the first out.

Sharon's involvement was as a legal licence holder whilst Shirley, Mick and Linda were away. Now Shirley is back, I assume Sharon's involvement is over hence her returning the books back to the Vic.

[Denver]

who? what?

She was shagging Jamie then cheated on him with Martin then Martin ran him over and killed him

[Marsh.]

She was shagging Jamie then cheated on him with Martin then Martin ran him over and killed him

You confused me with "hottest guy".

[Denver]

Jamie was the hottest guy back then

[Marsh.]

Phil was smoking in those days. :nono:

[Daniel-X]

Okay so is it just me who is LIVING for Miss Fi?

[Amy Jade]

Okay so is it just me who is LIVING for Miss Fi?

I liked her dragging Keegan but she caused Trace to get fired so she can **** off quite frankly.

[Firewire]

I liked her dragging Keegan but she caused Trace to get fired so she can **** off quite frankly.

That was Woody actually

Fi just wanted someone gone, not necessarily Tracey

[Firewire]

In any case, Tracey will end up working in The Albert

[Cal.]

I swear Trace gets sacked every few years. Boring!

[Denver]

Tracey is clearly coming back to buy The Vic with Janine @Xmas

[Amy Jade]

That was Woody actually

Fi just wanted someone gone, not necessarily Tracey

If she was any sort of business woman she would have advised them that from a monetary stand point getting rid of a manager who has been in the pub a week would be more beneficial than losing a member of staff who had been at the establishment for 30 years. If nothing else to avoid an unfair dismissal claim.

Yes Woody hammered the final nail but Fi brought the nail and hammer.

[Will.]

Okay so is it just me who is LIVING for Miss Fi?

Yeah she's fab, Fi has the potential to be turned into an iconic character.

Didn't we get lots of iconic characters in 2007?

Fi reminds me a bit of Emma, but more confident.

[Marsh.]

Fi is good so far.
She is the first new character in ages whose acting I haven't had a problem with. Most newbies sound so wooden.
But I'm not going to get my hopes up. She stands out because he's introduced so few interesting new characters but SOC will screw it up as usual.

At least she doesn't seem to be a Tesco Ronnie like I feared.

I actually liked how she could be sharp with what she was saying but would still crack a smile at Shirley's comments.

[Marsh.]

Also I found the stuff with Derek in the minute Mart out of character for honey. She sees how good he is with a thieving kid and suddenly reverts to the nice honey offering a cup of tea. Honey wouldn't be such a bitch.

[Daniel-X]

Ia with most of this, I just hope they don't turn her character into Max's girlfriend but I fear it's on the cards.

Her introduction has given me hope for the two new oldies too. Maybe SOC can FINALLY get something right?

[Amy Jade]

Max is ugly how does he bed all these beautiful women?

He hasn't even got a good personality to woo them.

[Braden]

Me lusting over Steven's pee-pee:

[Marsh.]

Can anyone make sense of the Max and Josh stuff?

[Firewire]

When he took off the glasses it felt like it was supposed to be some sort of reveal but I just didn't get it?

[Marsh.]

When he took off the glasses it felt like it was supposed to be some sort of reveal but I just didn't get it?
:joker:

Were we supposed to be shocked by Max knowing Josh too considering that was obvious considering they work in the same place?

[Cal.]

Wasn't it because he's not just the photocopier guy, he's actually higher up than Max in the company or had that been revealed already?

[Firewire]

I thought that was obvious when he sat in on Lauren's interview

[Cal.]

Oh yeah.

Whatever the case, the story line is dull as dish water and I can't believe I was so excited for Max to return.

[Firewire]

He's been a waste since he came back

I'm not even kidding I would've rather a Stacey/Max affair rehash than this tripe!

[Cal.]

I was saying the other day that I can see James Bye quitting in the foreseeable future to explore other things and I hope to God that SOC is no longer there as I could honestly see him writing Lacey Turner out with him like she's some sort of second rate character to Martin (like when Patsy Palmer quit and so half the cast was written out with her).

[Ross.]

I don't get what this Max story is about at all

[Ross.]

oh I caught up and it's still ****e x

[Tom4784]

I don't get what this Max story is about at all

Neither do the writers, tbh.

[Amy Jade]

I am still furious over Tracey, I hope all the regulars boycott the Vic or something and it's not just glossed over. In real life people in the local where I live would fume lol

[LukeB]

Jack magically appears.

[LukeB]

You're not going to make money sacking the punters favourite.

[Amy Jade]

I want woody, keegan, louise, madison and the other one all dead

[Amy Jade]

Lauren, max and jack can all die too

[LukeB]

Shirley :love:

[Amy Jade]

Sharon was fired too?

[LukeB]

I hate how Michelle keeps on feeling sorry for herself.

[LukeB]

Kathy's affair with Buster must be the only affair to never be exposed

[LukeB]

Smart plan Woody.

[Amy Jade]

Tracey :love:

[LukeB]

ha at Woody sacking Tracey because they want to save money but it backfired and they lost all their customers so they are losing money.

[Wizard.]

JUSTICE 4 TRACEY!

Can't believe she had to endure two divorces and a cancer scare and we didn't know about it?

Here for The Albert snatching all of The Vic's punters to render Woody's position pointless

[Firewire]

Screaming at uprising for Tracey :love:

[Daniel-X]

Tracey will be back behind the Vic in no time, Kim will drive her away from the bar within a few weeks and The Carters will beg for her to come back.

[Marsh.]

Kathy's affair with Buster must be the only affair to never be exposed

Michelle and Grant's dalliance stayed a secret for 21 years.

[Will.]

I'm dead at "Steven visiting Lauren at work" being a storyline on the show now.

This show is embarrassing. What was that crap with Tracey? :umm2:

[LukeB]

Why couldn't Vincent give Denise a job? :s

[LukeB]

Why is Jack putting Matthew next to Amy when she has chicken pox.

[Denver]

I am glad Louise is getting bullied she deserves it

[Amy Jade]

Why couldn't Vincent give Denise a job? :s

I was wondering this tbh if he can offer Tracey a job just like that why not Denise...even just as a cleaner

[reece(:]

Louise is dire

[Amy Jade]

It's going to be hard to feel sorry for Louise when the bullies finally turn on her.

The writers will expect us to feel sorry for her when they destroy her house and humiliate her in front of the music guy she likes but she is far too delusional and generally irritating to feel bad for. She treated Bex worse so my cup of care will be dry

[Firewire]

What a terrible episode

[Wizard.]

Why is Jack still crying it's been 5 months man get over your wife's death :fist:

[Braden]

I hear Charlie Cotton is coming back :flutter:

[Marsh.]

Why is Jack still crying it's been 5 months man get over your wife's death :fist:

I'm still not over it myself. :nono:

It's times like Tracey's leaving party I miss Darth Ronnie and her death stare.

[Marsh.]

Mess.

Trying to catch up and the SOC is taunting us with more pictures of Ronnie. :bawling:

Although suspiciously not of her face. Does he not have to pay Sam Womack a fee if he doesn't show her face? :fan:

[Marsh.]

"Justice 4 Tracey!"

Cringe. :worry:

[Marsh.]

Hang on, why did Denise go in the bookies for her interview?

[Marsh.]

Stacey always looks knackered lately.

She was handing out CVs

Perched for the show to further decline in quality

[Marsh.]

Wasn't it leaked that Mick and Lee Ryan have a brawl?

[Marsh.]

I want Linda to return and sack them all tbh. I hate every last Carter now.

Maybe Lovely Tina can stay, that's about it.

[LukeB]

I want Linda to return and sack them all tbh. I hate every last Carter now.

tbh you hate everything

I want Linda to shag Woody

No I don't. :nono:

You and Adam are the worst moaners in this thread.

Um, no, she can do so much better.

No I don't. :nono:

I don't moan :suspect:

and yes you do :oh:

[Brother Leon]

Are we supposed to care about that twat Louise now?

[LukeB]

Louise </3

[Denver]

I loved that episode and i know i meant to feel sorry for Louise but the bitch deserves it

[LukeB]

No one deserved that.

[LukeB]

Madison,Alexandra and Keegan are scum

[Marsh.]

Michelle deserved it.

[Denver]

No one deserved that.

She has been part of a group bullying Bex for months now Karma is a big bitch

[LukeB]

She has been part of a group bullying Bex for months now Karma is a big bitch

So.... doesn't mean she deserves to nearly die. that's ****ed up and nasty

[LukeB]

That was uncomfortable viewing and i hope Madison and Alexandra get their comeuppance and get axed from the show. The worst people on the show

[Marsh.]

Good characters, they're eerily realistic.

And god knows this show is thin on the ground with villains in interesting stories.

[Firewire]

Bex :clap1:

[Wizard.]

What's the odds that Alexandra & Madison don't get their comeuppance on this and they find some way to prove they didn't drug Louise's drink? I think though that Louise will realise what they did and will team up with Bex to take them down.

[LukeB]

What's the odds that Alexandra & Madison don't get their comeuppance on this and they find some way to prove they didn't drug Louise's drink? I think though that Louise will realise what they did and will team up with Bex to take them down.

I will be here for them two to join forces. but the odds of them getting their comeuppance is low since i expect this to drag on.

[Marsh.]

SOC doesn't conclude stories so any big ending with a comeuppance is unlikely IMO.

[LukeB]

People on twitter are saying Bex helping Louise is not realistic..

Bex is the better person who has a heart and she obviously still cares about Louise no matter what she has done.

[Marsh.]

I believe it. Bex is naive and stupid enough to believe Madison wanted to give her some truffles from her grandma so she's stupid enough to risk Louise walking all over her again.

[Firewire]

Alex de Gale and Mad Dog will be written out with no explanation as Bex and Louise become best friends again

[Deirdre]

why wasn't shaki at the party

[LukeB]

Can DS not

[LukeB]

6. Lee Ryan's a really good actor

As the lead vocalist of Blue, we knew Lee had some pipes on him, we also knew he was no stranger to acting up for the cameras (yes, we're referring to that questionable stint in the CBB house), but what we didn't realise was that Mr Ryan was a bit of a natural actor to boot.

Popstar to soapstar is often a tricky transition, and it sometimes can take the person a while to bed in, but Lee's performance has been an instant huge hit with the fans. Woody may have only been hanging around for a few weeks, but somehow it feels like the buff biker was always destined to stand behind that bar.

He's isn't even acting, he's being his real self so how can he be a good actor :s

[Firewire]

why wasn't shaki at the party

Probably on annual leave

Charlie and Jack to fight to the death and both die please

[Marsh.]

Oh Denise, just starve to death. This show is so bloody boring.

[Amy Jade]

Ew DS can shove that, can't wait to be rid of him.

Apparently Westbrook has some news about finally getting some work again.

I hope to God they haven't give her a job on EE again.

[Denver]

Apparently Westbrook has some news about finally getting some work again.

I am sure the new boss banned her and she went on a rant about it

I don't think she was. DTC was over the show when she appeared for Peggy's funeral.

Oh Ronnie should've stayed with Charlie and she'd still be alive. :(

[Tom4784]

Honestly the best thing they could do now is remove SOC from his position and ban him from all BBC affiliated buildings, after that they need to pull a Dallas styled twist in which the last five months were just a hazy drowning induced dream by Roxy that she awakes from as she's pulled out of the pool to safety by Ronnie. They should laugh about their near death experience, celebrate their survival with a Margarita and then decide to give Jack the boot whilst also deciding to buy back R&R :clap1:

That's how you save this show, in it's current state it's beyond hope. Too many bad decisions to retcon.

I don't understand this plot with Denise?

She hasn't a single penny? So why is her only concern the half empty jar of coffee? How is she affording bills/mortgage? What about Patrick?

Holes, Holes, holes. This starving sh*t has literally come out of nowhere.

[Marsh.]

Is this the first time Jack and Charlie have been on screen at the same time?

[Tom4784]

Holes, Holes, holes. This starving sh*t has literally come out of nowhere.

I think SOC gets an idea for a storyline and just forces it on characters for the sake of it even if it's not a good match. He wanted to do a benefits storyline that's also a pretentious commentary on the poverty line and he stuck it on Denise although it would make no sense for her to have this kind of storyline given her connections.

He's utterly delusional, remember when he was quoted as saying that the Diabetes plot with Ian would be must watch TV? Honestly, it aggravates me that someone so incompetent is allowed such opportunities, bitch shouldn't be trusted to clean toilets.

[Amy Jade]

I felt kind of sad when Denise started eating the food, I hate seeing Denise dow. It's a crap storyline to stick on her but Diane is one of the most capeable actresses on the show so it still gets me :(

[Braden]

Is SOC insane enough to make something happen romantically between Charlie and Jack?

[Deirdre]

so denise dumped kush because she's hungry? :joker:

[Firewire]

She's ashamed

[Cal.]

Lol @ Denise sharing a house with Patrick but still having no food. Won't Patrick notice and go and do a food shop himself?

[Firewire]

Patrick's in Trinidad

So far it's amounted to Jane buying them both water proof pedometers.

Patrick's in Trinidad

Stuffing his face the greedy bastard.

But he can afford a trip abroad and Denise is starving? Pfft.

[reece(:]

‘I got wind of the storyline of Ronnie and Roxy coming to an end and I was quite intrigued so I started watching again to see how it played out and then I got this phone call out of the blue asking: “Do you want to come back? You’ve got a biological son here who we think might need his dad!”

‘I’d got back into the show from watching Ronnie and Roxy’s exits and I really liked what Sean (O’Connor, producer) was doing – I was really engaged and I like his style and the long, drawn out nature. It was a bit of a no brainer – it’s always nice for an actor to go back and revisit a character and it’s only in the soap world that could ever happen; it’s quite a unique experience as you wouldn’t go back to a stage show and do part two!’

Bye, SOC is brainwashing

[Firewire]

So is Charlie back permanently then? I just assumed it was a guest appearance

[Marsh.]

How dare he compliment the fecking dire exits of R&R.

Then again he's probably a SOC lover after DTC gave him his own crappy exit.

[Tom4784]

Of course he loves SOC, SOC loves trash male characters that ultimately do nothing that have no story relevance or point to them being in Walford.

[Denver]

Roxy needed to die anywhere she was a nothing character and always went around in circles

at east Ronnie had thee big storylines

[Marsh.]

Roxy had loads of potential as a character. Especially as Amy was getting older.

The writers/producers just lack any kind of imagination, they're in the wrong job.

[Cal.]

EE are crap at doing stories that last for longer than a few months so they wouldn't be interested in anything like that for Roxy which would take time to develop over years (Amy getting older and the possibilities of stories as she matures I mean). Corrie and Emmerdale are both good at stories which run for a couple of years - especially Corrie.

[Cal.]

Like I'm pretty sure the Platts have just had one huge story arc since 2012 where events have spiralled and created new stories etc. It all started with Kylie and Nick sleeping together at Christmas 2012.

[Wizard.]

What the **** is that office tower set? The fake sky and clouds are atrocious. EE is so bad and tacky these days. The bullying storyline is the best one at the moment and that's saying something.

[Ross.]

Can someone just send Denise away for a while I'm so bored of her and her 1000000 stories

[Marsh.]

Can someone just send Denise away for a while I'm so bored of her and her 1000000 stories

This.

Send her to prison the thieving witch.

[Cal.]

Will watch again when they hire a producer that isn't 3 decades too late.

[Firewire]

Yes Denise is becoming boring

Which is something I never thought I'd say

[Ross.]

This.

Send her to prison the thieving witch.

Kim is the better not-sister!

[Firewire]

Let's cast Liz Cotton

I'm assuming she's Irish... go!

[Marsh.]

Kim is the better not-sister!

:clap1: Her buying random things with Vincent's credit card >>>>>>> Denise's sorry excuse for a story arc.

[Cal.]

Omg remember Charlie's mum Yvonne

[Firewire]

Yvonne needs to return to clock Jack

[Ross.]

Let's cast Liz Cotton

I'm assuming she's Irish... go!

screaming at the tinsel on the TV

[Marsh.]

Samantha Womack with an Irish accent

Aww when she played 2007 Ronnie with a cockney accent then got bored and stuck with the posh. :love:

Her to forget she's playing a new character and just carry on as normal. :flutter:

[Marsh.]

Her and Nick having sex on the sofa >>> SOC's EastEnders

When they sat up and he'd clearly been having her from behind. :love:

[Firewire]

Liz and Lexi are coming

[Denver]

Cora is back next week

[Marsh.]

Cora is back next week

Sharon's 2001 return as owner of the Vic hew

[reece(:]

Cora is back next week

Cora to save EE?

Interview with DTC about Redwater

He talks a bit about his time on EE and the Mitchell sisters

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/redwater/interviews/a827600/redwater-spoilers-kat-alfie-eastenders-spinoff-interview-dominic-treadwell-collins/

[reece(:]

"Well the reason we chose Kat and Alfie was because we had taken Kat on this new journey. We had taken her to this cathartic moment where she went back to the place where she had Zoe and we played back into the 'You ain't my mother' storyline. We took her through that because we were all fed up of this 'I'm a dirty girl' business.

Lorraine Newman shade?

[reece(:]

What did you think of Ronnie and Roxy's exits?

"It made me very sad. It made me sad because I created them and I loved them as characters. But every producer has to do what they want to do and what they think is right. There were things I did on EastEnders that would have upset other people before me.

"I killed Nick Cotton which I am sure upset John Yorke. Every character has been created by someone so you are always going to upset someone. But I was sad because I loved them. They were my girls."

</3

[Firewire]

He probably wishes he wrote them out after Peggy's death so they wouldn't have been killed

I hope he finds his way back to EE at some point. He had a lot of OTT stories but he loved the show and it really showed

[Denver]

He loved the show so much yet he decided to quit and jump ship because he thought he could do better

[LukeB]

I think this money struggling thing is boring (it's realistic ofc) but we already seen the Carters struggle and when you think they will be ok something bad happens each time and the same thing is happening with Denise.

[Marsh.]

He loved the show so much yet he decided to quit and jump ship because he thought he could do better

Or he did 2 and a half years and wanted a bit of a life?

[Marsh.]

We leave it on the mother of all cliffhangers at the end of episode six.

:worry:

[Firewire]

Or he did 2 and a half years and wanted a bit of a life?

This, he said he was exhausted.

[Ross.]

Sorry but it was time for DTC to go

[Firewire]

Sorry but it was time for DTC to go

I agree, his last few months were pretty bad

But SOC's era is dire

[Ross.]

I'd have him back over SOC but let's not pretend that the show wasn't **** then too

[Ross.]

Mess remember Grant's second stint during Summer

[Firewire]

Lmao

When Shaz was shaking when she saw him :love:

[Ross.]

:joker:

[Ross.]

I'm still mad about that scene with Phil and Ian cackling about the body not being Ben whilst standing outside the room where Paul's ****ing corpse was

[LukeB]

What's with the music!

[Will.]

What is this mess

[LukeB]

Woody is awful. axe him

[Marsh.]

I'd have him back over SOC but let's not pretend that the show wasn't **** then too

It is quite amazing how quick he fell from grace. 2014 was kind of spot on with the major story running through and the other stories all taking turns in the spotlight. Then from summer 2015, from the minute Cindy told Liam about Bobby it all went tits up right through to August 2016 when R&R's exits were announced. :bawling:

[LukeB]
