That episode actually had an old-skool/2005 vibe about it. Something to do with the presence of Ian, Sharon, Stacey, Ruby and Kat in the same episode and the parallels this story has with the Ruby/Juley story that happened around this time 2005.

Best episode since Peggy died.

He kidnapped Tina when they were younger and when it all came out shot himself and framed Mick who is now in prison.

omg I didn't press send, was supposed to post this last night:

Enjoyed the rewatch, there's a few decent storylines and the writing has improved/gone back to normal. Back when I stopped watching during spring it felt like a sitcom and the writing was a joke. The show feels like it's going in a different direction, for the better or for the worse it's too early to tell. It still needs some more life, at this time of the year the atmosphere should be more intense, still feels a bit dead for December compared to last year.

The show ISN'T terrible anymore

Nah, still think he meant Shane Richie.

The cliffhanger will be about the "event" which leaves one person with blood on their hands.

Richie said as much in his last interview.

When Ian was talking about Peter at the choir I sensed some atmosphere/possible indication of a Peter rihturn for Christmas, which would be nice because he doesn't have any of his children around him

Gstar
10-12-2018, 03:52 PM
Actually can we discuss how lovely the choir scene was, Ian talking about Lucy whilst choir songs were being sung in the background. It felt like the end of an era (The whole murder storyline and aftermath - Jane, Bobby, Max etc.), Ian also stating that she would be turning 25 adds to this as 25 is often seen as a mini milestone/turning point age

Marsh.

Because she was exhausted. Same with Ben.

At least he didn't kill them. Gave them a much needed break.

Unlike Abi who would've been great returning with Steven's child in a few years. Or Ronnie and Roxy who could've been great again after a long spell off screen.

As far as I know, no death has even been confirmed. Just an accident of some sort which leaves a resident with "blood on their hands". Whether they die or not, that is definitely concerning the Slaters (even though all but one character are not actually Slaters).

Over Hayley changing ha mind every 2 seconds

It's such poor storytelling, just to prolong the plot until their designated climax episode.

Speaks volumes that when they stop repeating the same scenes over and over (like they did at the beginning of the Stuart plot) and start moving it forward, it improves so much more.

Omg Julia Honour (whose name has a writing credit on around 50 episodes) isn't even a real person

It's a pseudonym used when an episode has had to be re-written because it wasn't fit to air but I think more recently has been used when the exec wants to write an episode

I'm watching Thursdays episode and it's so cringe

I thought it was an amazing episode. I've only just started watching again so I haven't caught the full story, but the acting was on point. It was refreshing to see Kellie Bright pushing the boat out a little acting-wise.

I've actually enjoyed the show a lot more than I expected? I don't know if that's Kate Oates' influence or Yorke just improved towards the end. :think:

I have no idea whether new bosses coming in have all that much impact on what is currently being shown on screen or not, but Yorke is capable of producing good stuff so I would imagine it's just an improvment his end. Regardless that he may be guilty of dragging things out slightly, he's nowhere near as bad as SOC was so I'm really looking forward to this Christmas.

To be fair the show was in an absolute state when he took over so he's had to do a lot of damage control.

I think some of it has made the show feel boring because he's been trying to rebuild it but it's now paying off. The show has been excellent for about a month now.

Rob!
16-12-2018, 10:09 PM
It's had a bit of a Lorraine Newman feel to it, a stopping gap to clear up the state left from the last producer until the new permanent person comes in. It's been alright, if nothing spectacular. He made a couple of daft decisions like killing off Abi, but he's straightened things out for Kate and Jon to come in. Here's hoping they can reverse the ratings now.

Talking of SOC, this interview is a scream and sums him up perfectly imo.

https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/may/07/archers-editor-sean-oconnor-helen-is-the-victim-but-she-shouldnt-have-stabbed-him

It's taken from just after he left The Archers to move to Eastenders. He talks about his past career when he was a producer on Footballers Wives, one of THE trashiest most ridiculous shows on British Television and he says that he used to talk to the writers about being the Roman Empire, in that pretentious way he clearly relishes in. This was, I remind you, a show that during his time there featured a baby being smeared in fake tan to make it appear Asian and then was sat on and suffocated by a pug.
Similar to how he described Max Branning as a "Jacobean Revenge character." The man is a fruitloop.

I'd say that Friday's episode was one of the first times that Danny Dyer has actually been able to establish himself as a decent actor in EastEnders. I don't think it quite suited the character (but then again he has only just come out of prison), but it definitely suited him more as an actor. For years it seemed as though he was just playing a very miserable version of himself.

If they write him well I think it could be quite a good story. He already comes across as mentally unhinged, I reckon if they were going to have him kill a bunch of people it'd be impulsive and not cold-blooded and he'd be in denial about it all. I suppose that would make it more interesting, at least. A little bit like Lucas.
