EastEnders

[Kazanne]

Masood does make me laugh,

[Kazanne]

Mel and Jack make a nice couple.

[Rob!]

Despite this revelation, it still can’t be denied that Stuart is a massive wanker.

[Marsh.]

He's a believable wanker, which in an era where we're having Lee Ryan in the show is a bloody godsend.

Is that him gone now though?

[Firewire]

Stuart can't act, I really hate him

[Marsh.]

I think so.

The most pointless "comeback" in soap history?

[Denver]

Laurie Brett has said she has no plans to return in the near future

It's on at 9.25pm tonight for an hour

[Firewire]

Drama is to start airing classic EastEnders episode from the beginning starting this summer

[Denver]

Is it all episodes or selected?

[Firewire]

I'm not sure to be honest

I saw it here, but the article doesn't specify: http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/eastenders/news/a859769/eastenders-uktv-drama-airing-classic-episodes-from-august/

Although it does say it will "re-air from the beginning."

[Denver]

I remember when Gold did it like 10 years ago :flutter:

[Firewire]

I'll definitely put it on a series link, I've only seen a handful of classic episodes so will be good to watch a lot more of them

[Greg!]

Jean makes me SCREAM I absolutely love ha.

[Greg!]

I often feel like a black cab....:

[Wizard.]

I screamed at Phil dragging Hayley for filth

[Wizard.]

Can Stuart just piss off home!

[Greg!]

The Mick and Stuart storyline is so fookin boring!

[BBUK-Fan]

The Mick and Stuart storyline is so fookin boring!

Compared to the rest of it? Mick and Stuart’s storylines is one of the best parts of Eastenders atm

[Firewire]

It's terrible.

[Firewire]

I think it'd be interesting if it was a better character but Stuart is woeful.

Our Hayley being a paedophile hunter though... Now that's BAFTA-winning!

[Greg!]

The fact that all the storylines go at like 0.1mph is so frustrating! And they all come back round in circles, gets on my tits!

[Amy Jade]

Stuart is so tedious to watch the acting is embarrassing.

[Firewire]

I hate him

[Marsh.]

How about a late night re-run of April 2004 to January 2006?

(ie. the full Chrissie/Den/Dennis/Sharon/Mitchell's stuff storyline).

[Greg!]

Did Peggy ever share a scene with Den? Idk why I thought of this but I want to know lol

[Marsh.]

Did Peggy ever share a scene with Den? Idk why I thought of this but I want to know lol

Nope.

Den "died" in 1989.
Peggy first appeared in 1991.
Then Peggy left the show as Barbara Windsor had health problems in early 2003.
Then Den returned in late 2003.
Then Den died for real in 2005 and Peggy returned after he was dug up and threw Chrissie into his open grave for trying to frame Sam.

So they kept missing one another.

[Denver]

She kinda met his ghost in Doctor Who though

[Greg!]

ah thanks! The pushing in grave thing is actually an early childhood memory for me lmao :skull:

[Marsh.]

This restaurant has had about 4 makeovers and all of them have been vile.

The stained glass window is nicer than before though.

I bet Ian's insurance premiums are bloody expensive for his businesses, they all blow up, burn down, have stray vehicles smash into them!

[Marsh.]

Stacey quoting Charlie "Get in, love" made me miss him. :love:

Not Hayley becoming Charlie 2.0 a taxi driver. :skull:

[Ross.]

That episode was so dull

It felt like it was never going to end

[Ross.]

The Max/Rainie stuff is so disconnected from the rest of the show

I swear we haven’t seen Rainie since the start of May at least

[Ross.]

And the story hasn’t progressed at all since they got here

[Ross.]

Sorry but I’m fuming that she’s being wasted!

[Marsh.]

Everything is disjointed.

Storylines are springing up out of nowhere. Stuff that would usually be a major plot line, then they either end quickly or just disappear.

It's almost like Mel/Jack/Sharon/Phil filmed a storyline all in one block.
Max/Rainie/Slaters film in one block.
The Carters and Masoods film in another block and then the editors chop them all up and jump from one to the other.

Like Carmel's story, they ploughed through months worth of material with her over a couple of weeks and then relegate her back to the background. :skull:

Instead of interweaving everything and letting it naturally develop with them running alongside and taking it in turns taking centre stage, they just appear and vanish at random intervals.

It's like groups of actors are on the same rota as one another and everyone else is on another one.

[Ross.]

I can’t tell if Stuart is badly acted or just meant to be really annoying

I don’t think Rainie is going to be here for long

She’s barely appeared with people other than bloody Robbie or Max

[Marsh.]

I hope Jake Wood quits. I don't think he's someone they'll axe, but Max is just finished. Get rid.

I hate Stuart so much but he’s SO much better as a villain than Aidan

[Firewire]

Aidan was better

[Rob!]

Aidan was better

Are you on the crack again?

[Marsh.]

Why do I get the feeling the summer will build to the Carter's killing Stuart and then the Autumn to Christmas storyline will be them trying to cover it up, burying the body until the secret is exposed.

Then again, it always felt like that's where the Aidan story was going too.

[Marsh.]

I don't mind the Carters. I actually like them as a unit.

But why is Mick the focus of everything.

Linda, Shirley and Tina have spent years as supporting characters whilst the storylines go to Mick himself.

Sick of it.

[Firewire]

I wonder why Tina hates Stuart :think:

Will they retcon Mark being Zsa Zsa's father and make it Stuart?

[Marsh.]

I still think he's going to be closet homosexual and is in love with Mick.

[Ross.]

I’m exhausted by this Stuart story already

It takes up too much screen time and every scene feels the same

[Marsh.]

That's the problem with EastEnders, there's no stories.

Each one is just 3 types of scenes on a loop.

[Ross.]

And if I hear his laugh one more time I will NEED to switch off for good

[Marsh.]

TEA! The show needs at least double the amount of storylines they have at the moment. It just feels so slow

[Marsh.]

It doesn't necessarily need more stories, just better ones.

And also instead of 2 stories boring us silly being repetitive for a month before they're forgotten and 2 other stories bore us with the same scenes for another month, we need more variation.

[Ross.]

Yes! YES! THAT'S MY BOY!

The block storytelling is TOO much

Mel has disappeared
Sharon has disappeared
Kim/Denise have disappeared
Shakil storyline has abruptly paused? Keegan and Bernie back to laughs and jokes
Max and Rainie will probably vanish for another month soon

and if I recall next week or the week afters focus is going to be Mas and Ian opening their restaurant together? :sleep:

[Marsh.]

The other night I literally skipped to the end credits just to see if Mel was in the episode. Saw she wasn't and then watched the episode anyway but it felt like a chore.

Luckily Rainie popped up and was julienning the carrots.

[Marsh.]

We need Kat for the Charlie stuff

Hayley is lowkey annoying about it, show some sympathy girl!

Queen of stealing a random group of tools off a random worktop and them being the exact tools required to fix Charlie's cab.

[Amy Jade]

Considering how much hate the show was getting with SOC (deservedly so, not defending him) and how excited people were at Yorke returning the show is the pits right now.

We get a decent episode once in a while and all his introductions so far apart from Hayley are horrific. This Stuart storyline is so bad and the acting has been cringe worthy.

Corrie is beating it hands down in quality in all senses.

[Firewire]

I wonder how much influence he actually as since he's an executive consultant rather than executive producer

[Marsh.]

I think I read he's not actually in the offices at Elstree.

He literally just "consults" from wherever he is.

So, he just makes big decisions like convincing Tamzin Outhwaite to come back, hiring Patrick Bergin etc, greenlighting the stabbing storyline but he's not there running the show day to day.

Probably explains why the quality varies so much.

[Amy Jade]

Ahhh yeah that does make sense, I guess. The last week has been a chore to watch to be honest. Not enjoying Stuart at all. The Max story is so dull too, Tanya would never ever let him have baby Abi

[Firewire]

I bet this is Oliver Kemp's doing

[Marsh.]

I bet this is Oliver Kemp's doing

He is literally an albatross around the show's neck.

Like Kieran Roberts for Corrie.

[Rob!]

The show is just screaming of one that is on pause. The way the stories aren’t really going anywhere reminds me of the Newman era where she was just trying to fix the mess that Kirkwood had left, which let’s be honest is nothing compared to the remains of the show that SOC has left Yorke.

[Firewire]

The show is a mess at the moment because it has the feel as if two people are running the show on alternate weeks.

I think there's two writers rooms to try and fix the show's problems but it kind of adds to the mess.

[Marsh.]

Pause. THAT'S exactly what it feels like.

Something's holding everything back from moving forward.

Walford is crying out for this legend!

It looks like there's a Team A and Team B responsible for odd and even weeks to try and produce episodes quicker

I hope it fixes itself soon, it was really apparent during Mel's missing money

[Marsh.]

I'm so disappointed they brought Mel back as another woman in need of handouts from Phil to survive.

The show is so stuck in the past it's unreal.

[Redway]

Hands down the worst this show's ever been.

Kirkwood's era looks like a golden era compared to Yorke II. Funny huh. Kirkwood's officially better than the guy who ruled EE in 2001.

I honestly think that's it for EE now. 33 years on air's more than some shows can sustain. Finished show.

[Aaliyah]

Mel needs to be axed from the show, preferably a storyline were she ends up dead so she can't return

[Denver]

Ahhh yeah that does make sense, I guess. The last week has been a chore to watch to be honest. Not enjoying Stuart at all. The Max story is so dull too, Tanya would never ever let him have baby Abi

Was it not mentioned the other day that Tanya was very unwell?

[Denver]

I have a feeling Stuart is ZsaZsa's dad

[Marsh.]

Watching Friday's episode, you can see the block filming.

Stacey with Rainie in the hallway wasn't filmed at the same time as Stacey going into the kitchen, as probably all of the actors couldn't be there at the same time. No wonder the show feels so disjointed.

[Greg!]

I want Stuart and Halfway ABOLISHED. Dreadful characters

[Greg!]

Even the music they play in the Vic is crap now :(

I haven't watched for two weeks, should i catch up or do i not bother?

[Marsh.]

Something is definitely going on behind the scenes. They probably can't find anyone who wants to take the job on because it's basically a poisoned chalice.

Every producer that takes over is called "the worst EVA" online (even though with SOC it was true).

[Marsh.]

I haven't watched for two weeks, should i catch up or do i not bother?

Catch up loov, just skip to the Slater/Mel scenes.

And, actually, lowkey the Carter stuff too. I enjoy them. :shame:

But I'd prefer more focus on Shirley, Tina and Linda. Everyone always lumps the Carter's in together as being overused or getting too many plots but really we never see anyone other than Mick. Time to give the ladies some time in the spotlight.

[Marsh.]

In fact, just axe all the men. :)

[Firewire]

I wonder how they'll write in Donna's exit

[Marsh.]

I wonder how they'll write in Donna's exit

A scream if it's like Lauren's exit.

Only instead of limping away with a stick, she's just zooming down the road in her scooter. :skull:

Really though, she'll probably get sick of slumming it on the stall and decide to go live with her mum and do something else.

But this stuff with Ian just showed that the whole joint business plot only really worked because of Jane and Zainab.

Oh I like him, it's just a shame the storylines they're handing him are hideous.

Janine's a bit like Mel and Sharon though. Only really work when given a strong storyline.

I'd hate all three of them to be meandering aimlessly at the same time.

They whispered to Metro.co.uk: ‘What executive consultant John Yorke has done over the last few months is lay the groundwork for some truly big storylines – autumn is going to be huge in Walford and will see things really start to kick off and viewers will see exactly why the long game has been played to get to this point.

I love excuses for nothing happening

I love excuses for nothing happening

I think I may have read that same interview about 4 or 5 summers in a row

Gearing up for a ‘massive autumn’

SHUT UP! FILTH!

The best they will do is a week long comedy disaster movie where the chippy catches fire, Max holds Sharon hostage and Linda breaks her arm in an ambulance crash. Somehow no one dies and the square forgets they were living through Final Destination the following week.

[Greg!]

Lmao literally. I'm pretty sure they said this summer was going to be "huge" or something like that, but fook all has happened!

[Greg!]

One thing I've noticed is that all of John Yorke's big storylines so far have either revolved around missing money, or an unknown character linked to a major character's past arriving on the square. Can they please come up with something else! (Apart from the stabbing I guess, but the way it has been executed is heavy handed and ****e)

[Amy Jade]

Shoehorning Mick into the stabbing kind of ruined it for me. The storyline was already solid I never felt we needed Mick invovled.

I like Danny but they seem to want to involve him in all the big storylines.

SOC said the same thing.

It was all leading to.... A pipe bursting in the street and Stacey running for her life.

I liked how they were showing how an incident like that affects more than the family but Mick was the wrong choice. He has too much as it is.

The Carter's are weird. Mick is shoehorned into everything and so the family gets a lot of screen time and yet at the same time Linda, Shirley and Tina are criminally underused.

Ray (Mel’s ex) is arriving as part of a “blockbuster autumn”

I already posted this with the same link so you are late with that news

I agree. I would have liked somebody else to find Keegan because the of investingating the guilt was good but Mick was just the wrong choice to play it because he's got too much going on

[BBUK-Fan]

I think the funeral will be an extremely emotional but groundbreaking episode of television by including real stories

[Ross.]

Me caring sweetheart!

[Marsh.]

I very much appreciated Ross reporting to us on the subject. :)

He's like our very own Richard Arnold.

Okay this is offensive

A Dan Wootton tea?

[Firewire]

That quote from Yorke is literally what Sean O'Connor said every time he was interviewed

[Firewire]

At this point I prefer the bins fall out

Even though I had already reported the news. Are you dumb?

Are you getting personal and are then going to turn it around on me and accuse me of bullying you?

[Marsh.]

I trust Yorke more than O'Connor but I can't see how there's been much groundwork tbh.

The SOC stuff felt more like a slow build to something it just never amounted to anything.

Hopefully we're pleasantly surprised.

[Cal.]

I'm really not expecting anything grand.

But the fact the upcoming 'autumn storyline' involves Mel who is one of the show's strongest characters at the moment is promising.

[BBUK-Fan]

Grow up. I posted the news first

[Marsh.]

Grow up. I posted the news first

I think you need to grow up. Calling people dumb.

[Marsh.]

I put a fiver on Kat shagging Ray like she did Steve Owen. :fan:

[BBUK-Fan]

Says the one who is grateful towards somebody posting news late but not grateful to the one that gave the news first

[Firewire]

Thanks Ross!

Sarcasm and humour aren't really your strong suit are they?

Did you genuinely think I thought Ross was Richard Arnold too?

If you're so insecure you constantly need credit for being "first" with "news" then sort it out.

[Marsh.]

But in regards to you BOTH. I saw the news hours before either of you bothered posting it.

You need to calm down. You seem very hostile

[Ashley.]

I'm Kat literally every time I walk into this thread.

Yes, explaining to you that my original post was a joke is extremely hostile.

Why don't you run along and make a leaving thread and let your outrage be known. :)

[Ross.]

I can delete my post about the news if that makes you feel better darling

[Ross.]

But in regards to you BOTH. I saw the news hours before either of you bothered posting it.

I was generating discussion!

[Denver]

Thank You Ross

[Firewire]

I was generating discussion!

That you did

[Ross.]

Thanks Ross!

Thank You Ross

Thank you for the support during these difficult times

Can Denise Welch come back as a new character

She was WASTED as Kyle’s mum

[Firewire]

I'd rather have Lisa Maxwell back!

[Marsh.]

Serving Karen Taylor?

[Marsh.]

Why do I get the feeling Ray is going to return with a familiar character in tow?

Like his new girlfriend being a recast Zoe Slater or Vicki Fowler or something?

[Ross.]

A hot mess

[Amy Jade]

Asif there is an actual argument about who posted a link first and who deserves the thanks

This forum is a scream!

[Marsh.]

But I'm HERE for Ciara returning with her brother! :clap1:

Her putting that painting of herself pride of place over the mantle in the Vic! :flutter:

The story team aren’t creative enough for this

Here for Peter to return as a trans girl

Are you kidding? The current era lives for random connections.

They do it in place of storylines.

Like Max Branning's prison mate and new girlfriend being Wilmott-Brown's but without having thought through the plot and it amounting to nothing.
