No i know.. it's amazing :D

[bbfan1991]

No i know.. it's amazing :D

:D I'm more chuffed Danny is going tbh, waste of time bringing him in and was never mentioned till after Archie died all of a sudden:joker:.

[Mrluvaluva]

Danny is one of the worst actors I have seen in a long time. Along with Libbys new bf. Can't remember his name?

[Stacey.]

i think Danny's the best character in Eastenders atm :D
really wish so many weren't being axed.

[bbfan1991]

Only Peggy, Stacey, Charlie and Jean's departures will leave a hole in the show:(.

[Mrluvaluva]

I am tempted to use the words of John McEnroe here Stacey........

[Stacey.]

what words are they? LOL.

[Patrick]

You've said that about 40 times now on here, we dont care!

[bbfan1991]

You've said that about 40 times now on here, we dont care!

Tbf i'm just as bad going on about Stacey Slater at times;)

[Mrluvaluva]

what words are they? LOL.

[Stacey.]

You've said that about 40 times now on here, we dont care!

i can say it as much as i want thanks.

how many times have we heard 'OMG Shes so fit :love:'

[bbfan1991]

OMG the one liners this week have made me laugh:laugh:.

[Callum]

Was nice to see a bit of action away from the Square tonight, I love off location scenes personally. Looking forward to the forest scenes soon with the teenagers.

[bbfan1991]

Stacey to Jean: ''"Not everyones as fascinated as you by the contents of my stomach!":D.

[Callum]

That was pretty funny ^ anyone else find it cringey the way Janine holds a mobile phone/speaks on a mobile phone or is it just me?

[bbfan1991]

I think Eastenders doesn't quite know what to do with Janine's character anymore which is a shame:(.

I want the fun Christian back, he'll never be able to be happy with Syed unless he's still in cloud cuckoo land:(.

[Callum]

Yeah I think they don't neither, I miss the bitchy Janine. I find her boring when she's nice to be honest.

[Patrick]

Soap Awards tonight Soap Fans!!!! :D

Callum, I hope you update the title after 10 O'Clock when the nation sees Eastenders winning Best Soap!

:D

[Stacey.]

<3

[bbfan1991]

EASTENDERS BEST SOAP of 2010!!!!!:hugesmile::cheer::D:):cool::thumbs: :cheer2:.

[KG.]

Lol BAM, he had it coming..

[bbfan1991]

Ben's storyline is getting so interesting;).

[Ninastar]

Lmao at today!

[Callum]

Why did Charlie Clements (Bradley) look so miserable at the Soap Awards last night?

[Stacey.]

Ben's storyline is getting so interesting;).

yeah i actually like it.

[Ruth*Star]

Why did Charlie Clements (Bradley) look so miserable at the Soap Awards last night?

My Aunt said he looked like he was sucking on a lemon all night. He only raised a smile when he won his award.

[Patrick]

Why did Charlie Clements (Bradley) look so miserable at the Soap Awards last night?

He obviously didnt want to be a part of Eastenders anymore you can tell her cba and is glad to be done with it.

Cheeky bastard after all its done for him, and he went up 3 TIMES and snubbed every one who voted and supported him with a 5 second speech..

'This is for the crew.. bye'

FFS We didn't care about the crew!
Lacey also looked as if she couldnt be ****ed being there.

All very miserable.

All in all this was the worse awards.

[Ruth*Star]

I noticed all the speeches were short, Like, "thanks for voting, {mentions someone else}" and thats it.

They both keep themselves to themselves, Lacey in particular is uncomfortable with the awards ceremonies and hates all the celeb thing thhat comes with the job and is all about the acting and quite shy.. I don't think she is miserable maybe thats just her normal face.

[Kerry]

I noticed all the speeches were short, Like, "thanks for voting, {mentions someone else}" and thats it.

The show was highly edited for time

[Callum]

Yeah Lacey looked like she didn't want to be there neither I agree, seemed to me there was some tension between her and Charlie. I haven't really thought of Bradley until today so I can't have missed him that much, he hasn't been much of a loss in all honesty.

[Callum]

Inside Soap says that Ben will get an explosive exit which will shock viewers and that it will affect a lot of other residents as well. Apparently Phil will be left shaken by his son's actions. Sounds very exciting, can't wait to see what they come up with!

[Ross]

Lucas to kill him.

[Smithy]

Maybe he kills that other person who is leaving :O

[Kerry]

Can't Ben just explode....

[Patrick]

You wanna play games eh!?
You play them with me!


What a ****ing legend.

[Kerry]

So Phils just slugged Ben around the chops, right? Now, if the storyline goes on and he can keep Louise then ..... uh I'm not even going to try....

[Callum]

According to Inside Soap, Lisa (Louise's mum) will also be involved somehow in Ben's exit. Intriguing!

[Callum]

Just watched latest episode - brilliant! The ending where Phil was running to his house was like a scene from an action movie, lol. It's so creepy how Ben is copying exactly Stella's methods, wonder what he'll do next.

[Stacey.]

Felt really sorry for Ben tonight tbh though... Louise is a bitch.

[Ross]

I'm hoping for Ben to arrange to get married and fall off the roof onto a black car in a wedding dress.

[Loukas]

LOVE IT!!! hahaha

[Mrluvaluva]

[Ruth*Star]

Peggy spoiler:

Peggy does find another lump in her breast.

Plus synopis from two episodes in a few weeks time courtesy of Radio Times:

Monday 31st May:
Peggy reveals some earth-shattering news to a lovesick Pat.

Tuesday 1st June:
Pat supports Peggy as she waits for news - will Peggy's worst fears be realised once again?

[Smithy]

omg, she doesn't die does she D;

[Mrluvaluva]

I cannot decide if Ben is crap or scarily sinister.

[Firewire]

Peggy won't die. She's gonna leave, and so she can come back.

I think it'll be an Xmas day thing.

[Callum]

How do you know Peggy won't die though?

She has never once said she would like to return for one off's etc. but if she did obviously they wouldn't kill her off.

[Kerry]

Phil (or Steve) acts such a brilliant drunk.

[Stacey.]

oh is Peggy not leaving until Christmas then?

[bbfan1991]

Peggy definetly won't be killed off:nono:, they will leave the door open for Babs to return in the future.

I missed yesterday episode, what happened?:).

[Patrick]

Yeah but I hope she returns and then stays for abit but when Barbra does get too old and does want to leave, then she should die.

Um, well Lucas and Phil were arguing and Ben told Phil that Jordan was bullying him, so Phil told him to smack him down or somthing so the end was basically Ben pushing Jordan almost into the hole in the Arches and then he grabbed a tool and said 'You need smacking down!' And poor Jordan look terrified, this was on the same day as his mother's birthday too :(

Thanks Patrick, now i''ve got to catch up on it:D.

Ben going to a mental institution would be a good idea?, don't think they would actually do the Lucas killing him theory, who knows;).

[Callum]

To be honest though Peggy and Barbera are both at an old age and it does seem unrealistic that younger characters will get killed off yet the older generation just leave. I think it would be more realistic to kill Peggy off but I hope she does just leave for pastures new.

Peggy is such a legendary EE character.. I know they've killed some like that e.g. Pauline, Angie and Dirty Den but in this case someone who I would consider to be the rock of the show and it would be sad if they did indeed choose to kill her off with no return:(.

Although Im pretty certain Peggy wont die too.

And I have to say, very gutted to hear Stacey and Jean are leaving! :( She will have a cracking advert if she decides to return though!


Ben's storyline is getting quite interesting, he is somewhat pulling being evil off quite well.

[bbfan1991]

Peggy and Stacey join the list of EE legends when they go:thumbs:.

I can't wait for Denise's sister Kim to come back she's so bubbly and funny:hugesmile:.

She will be a great addition, need a good fun character about! :hugesmile:
I wish they used Becca more.

[bbfan1991]

Tbh I think Becca will leave before Stacey does.. Stacey will find out about Becca making THAT call and then it all kicks off then Miss Slater will get the happy ending which she deserves at last leaving with Jean:).

[Jords]

Yeah I think so too, her contract was only 6 months so :/ Still, happy Stacey will have a happy ending!

[bbfan1991]

Yeah I think so too, her contract was only 6 months so :/ Still, happy Stacey will have a happy ending!

Indeed and it's a shame that Simone James who I think is a decent actress will have to leave:(.

Stacey arrived as a happy and bubbly character until they changed her characterisation so might as well leave as the person she was back then;).

Mhmmm its like she's turned full circle! I wonder if she will be around until Kat and Alfie are back or if she will have left before? Might be somehow connected with their arrival.

I only know Simone James because of Becca, but from her playing just that character she seems very talented to me!

I think that Stacey might be gone before they leave but not heard anything yet unless their arrival could be earlier if they kill Charlie off:(?.

[Jords]

Oh yeah, if Charlie is killed off, which I would assume will be the case, the reason they would come back is to attend his funeral! Hmmm, although Stacey leaving soon after a funeral wouldnt really be that much of a happy ending, so yeah there is an opportunity for them to return earlier.

No she'll probably stay on for a bit longer to perhaps bring a conclusion to the Archie thing where perhaps people find out and maybe Ronnie helps Stacey to escape from Walford?.

[Jords]

Tis a possibility! I think although Ronnie and Stacey dont talk all that much, they are actually quite close because of the Danniella storyline and now hating Archie wish a pash.

True but they did interact a bit when Roxy was going out with Sean:p.

Can see Max and Ronnie plotting to get Stacey out whilst Roxy will be wanting revenge and calling the cops but then Sean would never forgive her for that:nono:.

[Callum]

^ Rob Kazinsky (Sean) has said he'd only return if Rita Simons (Roxy) were to leave as he'd want to be part of her exit storyline. So unless she's planning on leaving, doubt we'll be seeing him anytime soon. Sad really, the show needs strong male characters and he was definitely one.

That is a shame, he was a good character. :( And yepp we do, Phil is a bit boring these days, but Lucas is quite a strong male character, and of course we have Ben now! LOL

Sean <3 he was actually amazing.

Do you reckon she dies from cancer? :O

[Mrluvaluva]

Do you reckon she dies from cancer? :O


I am not sure. I know she needs a storyline to leave the show. Either she may die, or she may decide to go and live out her last few years in Spain or somewhere like that? Not sure which. What do you reckon?

[Enid]

I think she may die. It will give her the big send off she deserves, after all.

[Mrluvaluva]

I think she may die. It will give her the big send off she deserves, after all.


Well there is no reason why she shouldn't as I doubt she will ever come back to it, and as you say, it would end up being a tribute to her.

Meet Vanessa Gold!
http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/10/20/550w_soaps_eastenders_zoe_lucker.jpg

Originally signed in March, Zöe joins the cast from next Friday (June 4) as Max Branning's new love interest. A prim and proper woman, Vanessa knows what she wants and how to get it - but she's not a manipulative bitch. Oh no she isn't.

She just knows how to use her wit and charm to ensure she snares whatever she sets her eyes on.

With her, she brings daughter Jodie - played by soap newcomer Kylie Babbington - who quickly becomes embroiled in a relationship with Max's right-hand man at the Car Lot, Darren Miller.

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/10/20/550w_soaps_eastenders_zoe_lucker_jake_wood.jpg

Hmmm!

[bbfan1991]

Zoe looks yummy:), can't wait for Vanessa and Jodie to arrive:p.

[Mrluvaluva]

She oddly reminds me of Roxy in that 2nd pic.

[Callum]

She looks a bit out of place for EE, she doesn't seem like she should be in Walford but I'll probably change my mind when I first see her on screen.

[officialleafan]

TANYA TURNER!

Lol :P

[bbfan1991]

She oddly reminds me of Roxy in that 2nd pic.

Horror:shocked:.

[Jords]

Please Heather tonight when Stacey stabbed that inflatable chair with her sat on it! :laugh2:
Thought she was gonna join Jordan in hospital, lmao.

[bbfan1991]

The Bible quoting in today's episode got on my nerves:D. LOL Ben will regret crossing Lucas:joker:, at least he confessed in the cafe...

[Patrick]

Apperantly Ross Kemp is returning to the square for a while, because of Peggy's funeral following a battle with cancer.

[Callum]

Apperantly Ross Kemp is returning to the square for a while, because of Peggy's funeral following a battle with cancer.

Oh really? I read in Inside Soap that's she's given the all clear.

[bbfan1991]

Apperantly Ross Kemp is returning to the square for a while, because of Peggy's funeral following a battle with cancer.

Makes sense but I just can't see them killing off Peggy.. I would hope Babs can return in the future but Grant is class:D.

Ryan/Janine are now actually boring me:(, the writers seem to not know what to do with them and Janine is better off going back to her bitchy ways as she's more restrained when playing the reformed.

[Callum]

Spoilers for an upcoming week in June (to be confirmed)

Episode 1

Denise confronts Lucas about a series of suspicious findings, in the week's first visit to Albert Square.

Meanwhile, Vanessa falls victim to Janine and Ryan's wicked ways and Ronnie, Roxy and Danny have a surprise visitor at the Queen Vic.


Episode 2

Danny's bullying leads Glenda to tell Ronnie and Roxy that there is "something they need to know", in tonight's visit to Albert Square.

Elsewhere, Lucas goes to extreme lengths to persuade Denise that he isn't having an affair, while Stacey is overwhelmed during her baby shower.


Episode 3

Danny is caught red-handed in tonight's visit to Walford.

Meanwhile, Glenda has a shock announcement for Ronnie and Roxy.

Stacey is fed up of being pregnant and is furious when Ryan kisses her.


Episode 4

Ronnie and Roxy stand by their mum, in the week's final helping of drama from Walford.

At home, Charlie discovers something belonging to Peggy and returns it to her. Elsewhere, Stacey is pleasantly surprised by Ryan's actions.

[bbfan1991]

Spotted that reading DS earlier:), what a relief this Danny storyline is almost over although dreading this Harvey stuff:shocked:.

[Callum]

Also the week after that week I just posted spoilers for, Stacey gives birth. :)

[Patrick]

Oh really? I read in Inside Soap that's she's given the all clear.

I read in Soap Life that she dies and Grant returns but then again Inside Soap is the most relibable magazine, Soap Life are the same magazine that just last week said Big Brother 11 begins on the 10th June LOL

Although, Ross did say in September last year that he would love to return to the show and I remember reading that Kirkwood said that for Peggys departure, we can be sure to see some old Mitchell faces.

Makes sense but I just can't see them killing off Peggy.. I would hope Babs can return in the future but Grant is class:D.

Ryan/Janine are now actually boring me:(, the writers seem to not know what to do with them and Janine is better off going back to her bitchy ways as she's more restrained when playing the reformed.


I can't see her being killed either, I remember hearing they wanted to leave the doors open for her to come back but I would rather her die and Grant come back than her leave alive and Grant not return.

I dont mind Ryan he has potenital but Janine should just leave now shes boring, I agree.

[bbfan1991]

Also the week after that week I just posted spoilers for, Stacey gives birth. :)

I really can't wait for that aww:), at least Becca's nose will be put out of joint.

Me thinks Max will play a big part in Stacey's departure and Ronnie how about you?.

Babs is a soap legend.. EE have been brave in killing off characters like Pauline even though Wendy Richards herself wasn't happy about Pauline marrying Derek hence her decision to leave.. the show wouldn't be right for me if Peggy was killed off never to return.

If I was Bryan Kirkwood I would consider bringing back Clare Bates to play the bad girl role.. he got the character of Clare Devine spot on in Hollyoaks (check YT:p), she was a very nasty character yet entertaining to watch and unlike Santer he would make it work this time.

[Kerry]

Lucas pisses me off something chronic. Glad he's such a hoot in 'real life' or I'd be after that spanner..... :laugh:

[Firewire]

Check www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders

They have a behind-the-scenes look at next week's forest scenes. Mercy!!

[Firewire]

I was thinking about 2012, I wonder if EastEnders will go all Olympicy, because of the Olympics in London that year.

[Callum]

As I'm sure you've heard actress Melissa Suffield has been axed following numerous warnings to change her behaviour.

Sad - I liked her character and thought she had the potential to be a good soap bitch but they can't bend the rules for one person so it's her own fault.

[Ramsay]

she'll be back

[Patrick]

What did she do?

[Twilight]

Aww i liked her:/

[Callum]

What did she do?

Went to night clubs when she's still underage apparently and refused to change her lifestyle.

[CaraRawr]

NO! she's my favourite character as well.

[Kerry]

There'll be no original characters left at this rate :shocked:

[Stacey.]

they shouldn't have axed her.
she's a good exciting character.

[Kerry]

I suppose we don't know how she behaves behind the scenes though. If it's getting in the way of her work they're bound to lose patience :(

[Jords]

Hmmm, I wonder how she will be leaving!

[Patrick]

OMG I forgot tonight is a hour long special.

Cant wait! :D

A Whole week with the teens in the woods, I think Leon dies?
And a hell of alot of Emer Kenny! :D

[Patrick]

I can't belive that was an hour long, fantastic episode, 3 things going on, kept us all on the edge of our seets, an amazing potential death cliff hanger.. yet no one online gives a ****?

Whats happened!

[bbfan1991]

Not keen on this teen storyline but tonights episode surprised me.. it was funny apart from Leon and Fatboy. Lucy was great, really going to miss her:( hope they bring Mel Suffield back when she's 18 or recast the role...

Billie is awful, Whitney made a huge mistake dumping Todd for him. Thank God for Ian, Bianca, Peggy, Pat and Ricky tonight:thumbs:.

What?

The teens were the stars of the show tonight, they were the main storyline.
Fatboy was hilarious as usual, I laughed at Peter trying to act cool, ZsaZsa still looked as fit as ever, Whitney was abit annoying, it was actually kind of good to see Mercy again.

Cannot wait until tomorrow.

I agree I hope they bring back Melissa, she has potenital to become a real EE Bitch and legend.

Although I'd rather her not return at all than her be re-casted, no one could play Lucy like she does and it would be kinda weird seeing her as someone else, even though about 2 or 3 actresses played Lucy years ago.. I can only think of Lucy as Mel now lol

EE should focus on the younger characters but some of them do get on my nerves and need more characterisation.

Melissa has to take responsibility for her actions and no doubt will be full of regret but I think she must have done more than whats reported for EE to go that far definetly more to it... Seems like Lucy will be recasted and BK is good at recasts especially getting Gemma Bissix on Hollyoaks.

I agree, they need to go into more deph with the characters.

Fatboy has gained alot of fans but he also has alot of hate, I think if they went more into his life and had storylines with him people may get to know him more.

Its also a shame ZsaZsa wasn't given a proper chance to develop as a character.


I suppose your right, the recast of Sam Mitchell worked great, so good that Kim should of returned instead of Daniella, so it might not be so bad.

[Patrick]

http://static.whatsontv.co.uk/images/10525_111830_22Thu3Jun.jpg

Peter and the gang panic that Leon could be dead and they go to the police station to confess to the hit and run. A panicking Peter is tongue-tied and Fat Boy has to tell the story. But are things quite as they seem?



Has Leon died?
This was filmed weeks and weeks ago, Leon was only axed about 3 weeks ago remember?

So I don't know what to think.
I hope has died, I like him but we need drama.

[bbfan1991]

I agree, they need to go into more deph with the characters.
Fatboy has gained alot of fans but he also has alot of hate, I think if they went more into his life and had storylines with him people may get to know him more.

Its also a shame ZsaZsa wasn't given a proper chance to develop as a character.


I suppose your right, the recast of Sam Mitchell worked great, so good that Kim should of returned instead of Daniella, so it might not be so bad.

Definetly this is what has been lacking recently and at the moment it seems like Eastenders is going through a really rough patch.

Fatboy was less annoying tonight although can't see myself ever warming to him:joker:.

Emer Kenny wasn't axed, she decided to quit to focus on her writing skills which you will see in the next series of E20:p.

[Smithy]

Patrick it's BGT Finals and Corrie Siege week, they take Priority this week, whether you like them or not :bigsmile:

Do you think if they leave the door open she would return or they would consider bringing her back?

[Patrick]

Mercy said shes only here for a few weeks, does she end up staying? I mean her gran comes too.

[bbfan1991]

OMG I never knew this.

I think they would consider bringing her back although good on her for trying her hand at both acting and writing:).


Speaking of their departure, Kirkwood exclusively told DS: "Emer and Sam have made a real impact in the short time they've been on the Square and we wish them all the best for the future."

He added: "Of course, we look forward to continuing working with Emer in her capacity as a writer on EastEnders: E20."

[bbfan1991]

Mercy said shes only here for a few weeks, does she end up staying? I mean her gran comes too.

Yeah Mercy is staying:), she only appeared tonight although based on first impressions I really like her.

Tonight's episode was amazing! Didn't expect to like it at all and at the start I was getting ready to criticise it but I loved it. The teens stole the show and the cliffhangers was epic, totally didn't see that coming until the very end.

Going to miss all the teenagers when they leave to be honest, I would have liked to have seen them have another episode like that in the future.

[Callum]

Rumours are suggesting that the character of Lucy may be recast because she's such a iconic character with a lot of history but I don't feel happy with anyone but Melissa being Lucy to be honest. She really made Lucy her own and I thought she had a promising future and was going to be one of the big stars. It's sad because in the past EE actors have done worse things and not even got a caution.

[Patrick]

What age is Mel then? 16?

[bbfan1991]

What age is Mel then? 16?

17:).

No Billie and Whitney don't date in RL... Devon Anderson who plays Billie goes out with Nathalie Emmanuel who plays Sasha Valentine in Hollyoaks:).

[Callum]

Hmm just heard Lucy is probably going to bow out in the summer, which is also the same time as a lot of the other axed characters. Week of big episodes in August expected to hold some sort of "disaster". Take that with pinch of salt but with the amount of characters leaving it wouldn't surprise me.

I agree about Mel, she got caught and got the warnings yet ignored fair enough must take the consequences.. maybe they should consider bringing back Mel back when she's 18?:).

As for a recast it's simple to do but it takes the actor time to settle into the show and people to get used to a new face.. then you have the sometimes change in character if thats what is decided.

[Patrick]

What does everyone think of this rumoured upcoming "disaster" then?

I think it's plausible because of the amount of characters leaving. They wouldn't all just leave of their own accord. With EastEnders shortly turning to HD as well it gives them the perfect opportunity to do something like this. The Vic hasn't been blown up before so that could be one possibilty. Either way I definitely think it won't be surprising, for me anyway, if in the summer of 2010 a lot of characters lose their lives due to a disaster of some sort.

Wow wow.. Sorry, did you just say Eastenders is turning to HD?
WHAT?

OMG.

I made a thread a few weeks ago asking this and Smithy said they couldn't because it would never look right.

What happened?

I cannot wait!


And I think its great, its the real oppertunity to kill them all off, they can just have everyone like in The Vic for a party perhaps for a wedding of someone like Janine and Ryan?

And then tensions have been building over the weeks until upstairs, someone decides to take their own life and set fire to The Vic upstairs, this soon catches on downstairs and kills half the cast while most make it out alive.

Would be outstanding.

[Patrick]

When will Stacey find out about Becca calling the police on Bradley?

It is HER fault he died, do you all think she'll ever find out? :(

Definetly will be revealed before Stacey leaves:devil:, it's been rumoured Becca leaves but she hasn't been mentioned amongst those leaving unless it's a secret to surprise those that don't read the spoilers:p.

Wouldn't it be great if EE had a late night episode like Hollyoaks do?:joker:.

I hope Jean kills Becca or somthing :joker:
Just randomly when they leave after it all comes out to what Becca did, Jean could just flip.. I say Jean because I dont want Stacey killing again LOL

Yeah it would be great like 'Eastenders Later..'
I love when they go past The Watershed, I Remember Jo Joyner said 'Bastard' on EE once and I was like 'UMG :shocked:' but it was past 9PM lol

Just think of the things they could do :D

I was thinking today how good it would be if after BBC1's EE ends, on BBC3 right after it they have 'Eastenders: First Look' which could be like Hollyoaks E4 First look.

I would love it, or even if it wasn't the full episode they could have a little 10 minute long teaser.

[Callum]

I really want to know how all these characters will leave. :sad: I think 2010 must hold a new record for most characters departing in EE, maybe even in a soap?

Considering the dark elements to Eastenders storylines maybe a late night episode covering some issues that wouldn't be suitable for the watershed show would be great:D.

Was a 9PM Show used in 2007 in April, for Tanya burying Max alive?
Im not sure if they brodcasted this before the Watershed and it got thousands of complaints.

[KG.]

Late night would be great, then Peggy can really go hard..

"Get the **** outta mah pu..

Oh ****"

[Patrick]

I looked further into this BBC Eastenders HD thing and it says that the set will have to under go a MAJOR make over to look good in HD.

They said things have been fixed here and there, but nothing noticeable but big paint jobs, and refurbishments are needed.

Does this mean that some time during Summer, Eastenders will go off air to give time for them to fix up the set for the HD Launch in September?

I think it was a 8-9 pm episode with the burial at the end;).

Burial storyline was a awful idea.. and thats when the popularity of Tanya began to disintegrate.

[Patrick]

Also tonight when Lucy said..

'Can I have a word?'

And ZsaZsa was like..

'You can have two and the second one is Off'

I was like 'Oooo ;)' LOL I bet if that had been after 9PM she would of told Lucy plain straight to **** off.

EastEnders newcomer Zöe Lucker makes her first appearance as businesswoman Vanessa Gold during Friday evening's episode of the Walford soap.

Speaking of her first day, Lucker told DS: "I'm so lucky to be working with [Jake Wood, who plays Max]. He's such a brilliant, standout actor. When I got there on the first day, we sat down and had a coffee. He was the one who gave me the tour of the Square and showed me where everything was."

She added: "A lot of my first scenes were me driving. I'd only passed my driving test four weeks before I started, so I was there rocking around the Square in this five-and-a-half-litre Mercedes. I was having palpitations, worrying I'd drive into The Vic or over Jake."

[bbfan1991]

Former Footballers' Wives star Zöe Lucker makes her EastEnders debut as the glamorous Vanessa Gold on Friday evening - much to the delight of resident womaniser Max Branning (Jake Wood). With her daughter Jodie (Kylie Babbington) pinning her hopes on a job at Roxy's salon, Vanessa buys her a motor from the Car Lot and ends up taking quite a shine to Max - before they know it, they're romping on the office desk. Max, however, has no idea that Vanessa's married to a man called Harry - and has been for the last 20 years. Here, in her first interview since joining the East-End soap, Zöe reveals all about her character, how Vanessa's different from Tanya Turner and why she was so concerned about driving onto the Square for the first time.

Did you watch EastEnders before joining?
"I've watched it on and off since right from the very, very beginning when Den and Angie were in it. Depending on what I'm doing in my life, I dip in and out. If I'm at home and able to watch it, I'll always watch. I lost touch with the show for a couple of years but started watching again when Patsy Palmer and Chris Coghill's storyline was playing out - that was just so compelling. I was hooked again."

Is it quite flattering that programme makers and storyliners bill characters as a Zöe Lucker-type?
"I'm so flattered by that. Bryan told me that they spent some time thinking about Vanessa and then Bryan said, 'Why don't we just ask Zöe?' Julie Crampsie then called my agent, which resulted in me having a chat with Bryan on the phone. It just felt so right, especially at this stage in my life. It's so perfect and lovely to be part of such an amazing show."

How would you describe Vanessa?
"She's very glamorous and a real risk-taker who gets bored very easily. She's quite a complicated one. She appears like she's one thing, but we slowly but surely realise that she's not everything she seems. There are a lot of layers to her. One thing, though, is that she's a doting mother - she adores her daughter Jodie. Vanessa gets on with women and men, and luckily they like her too. She's not condescending, mean or spiteful but she knows how to get her kicks. It's not calculating, as such - she just finds ways of keeping herself busy. She's actually married. She turns up in the Square and is immediately taken with [Max] as he doesn't throw himself at her. He's very off with her and she's intrigued as she's not used to that kind of reception from men. She gets a real kick out of that."

How different is Vanessa from Tanya?
"Tanya was a very manipulative and calculating person who would have done anything to get what she wanted out of life. Vanessa's a much more hard-working and more relaxed character on certain levels. It's difficult - and I don't want to give anything away - but she needs to keep herself busy for certain reasons. Tanya had a child but didn't realise she had a bond until the baby had died, whereas Vanessa's adoring of her daughter - so that's worlds apart. Vanessa's not always on edge like Tanya was, either - she's more much laid back about life in general."

There is an essence of Tanya in there somewhere, though.
"She's very glamorous! Everything she wears is cream and her hair's always immaculate and massive. Physically they're the same - and I know that sounds weird - but with someone like Kate Keenan in Holby Blue, she was a long way away from Tanya. Vanessa's not dissimilar looks-wise."

Being from the North, are you having to put on a cockney accent?
"I'm not actually using a Southern accent - I'm using my own voice, which I'm grateful for. When they called about the part, I spoke to Dom [Treadwell-Collins] about the character and what they wanted from her but after I put the phone down, I thought, 'Oh wait, do they want me to put on an Essex accent?' because they told me that Vanessa lives in Chigwell. I think if you're doing one-off dramas, you can go and play a character with an accent, but when you're surrounded by people who use their own accents, I think it would have felt really unnatural for me to be putting it on. It could have all gone a bit Dick Van Dyke!"

What's it like working with Jake?
"I'm so lucky to be working with him. He's such a brilliant, standout actor. When I got there on the first day, we sat down and had a coffee. He was the one who gave me the tour of the Square and showed me where everything was. A lot of my first scenes were me driving. I'd only passed my driving test four weeks before I started, so I was there rocking around the Square in this five-and-a-half-litre Mercedes. I was having palpitations, worrying I'd drive into The Vic or over Jake. I took my test twice when I was 17 and failed both times and since then, I've been on and off taking more lessons. I took another test when I was pregnant with Lily, which I failed. Then another one after I'd had Lily and failed that one. I've done so many now I can't even remember the date I passed… I did an intense course of lessons in February, then I finally passed on March 2. It's been the bane of my life. I have a scar from that day as when I passed, I launched myself at the examiner - to his horror - and I had blood all over my hand because I'd caught it on something in all the excitement!"

Yeah and traces of another woman on his clothes like perfume or something so thinks he's having an affair at first.

Oh right, well theres 2 Corrie threads which are regularly used so maybe he thought could create another one?:conf:.

[bbfan1991]

Don't know tbh but I would rather have characters leave when their storylines come to a decent conclusion..

I think there is definetly going to be an influx of new characters by next year at least.

Definitley Ronnie and Jack's wedding. It's been said that in the coming weeks Ronnie will find happiness for once and I remember reading in IS that they were "going to make a big decision about their future" so it must have been referring to a wedding.

I will continue to use this thread to discuss episodes

If they make Ronnie happy I hope they stick to it:D.

I want to see Billy Mitchell get a big storyline and the family rely on him when Peggy goes as he's always been treated like dirt they can wipe off their shoe:rolleyes:.

News just broken on DS:

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/10/21/M/soaps_eastenders_4016_7.jpg

EastEnders bosses are to refilm some parts of Lucas Johnson's story following the recent prostitute murders in Bradford.

During next week's episodes - which were planned months ago - man of the cloth-gone-bad Lucas (Don Gilet) was to be seen visiting a local red light district and picking up a call girl named Jade.

From there, he would drive her away to a remote location and force her to pray for God's forgiveness.

After she attempts to run away, Lucas gives chase and creating a ligature with his tie - as he previously did while killing his wife's ex Owen - he would then seemingly strangle the innocent girl to death.

However, following the CPS's decision to charge 40-year-old criminology student Stephen Griffiths with the murders of three call girls, EastEnders execs have decided to drop the prostitute link from next week's episodes out of respect for the families of those affected by recent events.

A spokesperson for the BBC soap told Digital Spy: "EastEnders storylines are written many months in advance and any similarity to real-life events is coincidental."

They continued: "However, on this occasion - to ensure we do not cause distress to the families involved in the recent tragic events in Bradford - we have decided to reshoot some parts of the storyline involving Lucas Johnson."

Affected scenes are currently being reshot at the soap's home at Elstree Sudios, Borehamwood, Herts ahead of transmission on Wednesday.

Yesterday evening, Coronation Street pulled its fourth episode of Siege Week following the shooting tragedy in Cumbria, in which 12 people were shot dead by a gunman.

I can see Ronnie and Jack leaving soon to be honest. Not always the case but marriage limits the amount of storylines characters can do. That's why most characters in Walford are unmarried. I remember Denise used to have loads of storylines until she got married to Lucas, she still has quite a few, one big storyline at the moment even, but not as much as she did.

Meh I'm probably totally wrong but I just can't see either Ronnie or Jack being on the Square in twenty years time personally.

I can't see Samantha Womack staying on at Eastenders for ages tbh, at the moment Rack is one of the most popular couples and have a fanbase so Ronnie and Jack will remain for a bit but like you say they won't be around in like 10 or 20 years:D.

Not been following this week, will have a catch up on Sunday. :)

[Stacey.]

i'm loving the little 'gang' like Whitney and that lot.

they're really funny and interesting.

[Twilight]

Thomas Law is so cute <3

[bbfan1991]

Today's show was quite funny especially the Peggy/Pat and Harvey thing:laugh2:.

E20 getting their own back on Lucy funny too but they will live to regret that:joker:.

[Callum]

Why in the spoilers is there no Thursday?

Sharon Marshall mentioned Stacey's birthing partner would be unexpected but I really did not expect Janine.

[Patrick]

Great week this week, Loved the woods storyline.

Still get sadder and sadder everytime I look at that gang realising ZsaZsa, Leon, Billie and Lucy wont be here this time next year :(

I'm really going to miss Lucy and Mel Suffield because she is so good at that role:(, can't they just let the dust settle then consider bringing her back when she is 18?.

[bbfan1991]

I heard that Stacey's birthing partner would be Jean and that isn't unexpected perhaps Ryan or Janine find her then contact Jean?.

Anyway it's a clever idea involving Janine in this baby storyline because she had feelings for Archie in a twisted kind of way and Stacey killed him so revenge would be sweet in her view although great to see Charlie Brooks and Lacey Turner in more scenes together:).

[bbfan1991]

I liked Bryan Kirkwood's first episode as producer of Eastenders:), good introduction of Vanessa and Mercy's grandmother Grace. Ian was funny LOL talking in slang to Fatboy and also the references he made to past legendary characters:laugh:.

Kim Fox is funny and bubbly, she's a hilarious drunk I really like her:hugesmile:.

[Kerry]

Got a weeks worth of EE to watch, probably tonight. Is it worth the wait?

Seems ages since I last saw it :shocked:

The teens in the wood/ Peggy, Pat and Harvey stuff was quite surprising from what I was expecting in a good way:D.

Today's episode was the best from this weeks stuff.

[Kerry]

Just watched Mondays. Not a fan of the teens really and wasn't keen on them dominating the show again but it was fun I guess. Well apart from peggy's scare obviously

[Callum]

Loved tonight's episode. Great to see Kim back, I liked her on her first stint and wanted to see her again. Vanessa will need a few more episodes to decide if I like her or not, I did expect her to be real panto-ish but she wasn't bad actually. Also loved the introduction of Mercy's nan and I really like how Fatboy is now being called Arthur, Fatboy is such a horrible nickname lol. Can't wait to see more of the new characters. Oh almost forgot was that the first time we saw Walford High in tonight's episode? It looked nice with the lockers, would be nice to see scenes from there again. :)

Bringing Kim in is a clever way of keeping Denise on when Lucas inevitably leaves.. I was worried that Santer would axe her but that seems not to be the case as she's a potentially great character:).


I think at the moment Eastenders needs an injection of fun because at times the constant drama, which I love and characters being down in the dumps is tiring after so long:joker:.

[Callum]

I thought tonight's episode had a different feel to it. The school has never been shown before as far as I'm aware and people could say it's a way of Bryan bringing Hollyoaks to EE but I hope we get to see more of them scenes. I have a good feeling about Bryan being producer after watching tonight's episode.

By the way tonight's episode was meant to air on a Monday but couldn't because of the World Cup. It did seem a bit of a Monday episode, everything fresh and seeing some characters who weren't shown in previous week etc. so that explains it.

[Callum]

OP updated, not very exciting stuff I didn't think but they never seem to release spoilers of exciting storylines.

[Jords]

Its been a great week! The Walford teens have really turned my view of them around and Im actually gutted they are being wrote out of EE! :( Mercy is a good character as well and she's not here for very long.. and felt somewhat sorry for Lucy.

Vanessa and D's sister are gonna be interesting too, and LOL at Peggy and Pat owning Harvey.

[Stacey.]

i think i need to catch up. don't recognise some of these names. D:

Mercy is sticking around;).

[Barbie]

Glad Mercy is sticking around, seems like a good character.

The school popping into eastenders was a bit weird, used to just seeing the square and the occational pop out like Peggy and Pat in london, and the woods, but they are more special things, not casual.

[Callum]

Yeah me too Barbie, I was so excited to see the school haha. I think it's because it's been mentioned so many times but we've never seen it properly. I'd like more school scenes.

Danniella Westbrook is to return in the Summer for those who don't know, she's filming her scenes now and all that is known is that she'll hold a "grudge".

[Jords]

I loved the school scene too! :laugh: Glad to hear Mercy is sticking about, she seems so interesting and likable.

[bbfan1991]

I wasn't impressed when all of a sudden when the others were going through the plan of revenge on Lucy that Mercy acted like she knew her and judged her for it:nono:.

Ryan kisses Stacey.. no surprise hope that they don't get them together before she leaves.

I guess she did find out Lucy had an abortion rather than a miscarriage at the same time as the others though.

I feel sorry for Lucy as they all think she claimed having a miscarriage to score points but it was actually to protect Jane from getting hurt. Its going to get back to her sooner rather than later now..

Yes but it's none of Mercy's business;).

I feel sorry for Jane the most because she longs to be a mother.. I suppose Masood will be a sperm donor cue next EE plot *duff duff*:joker::shocked:.

[Callum]

Last night's episode impressed me. Loving Mercy's nan, she's already a big character and she's only been there two minutes. I found it funny though that she was having some big send off as if everyone had known her for years, had Lucas and Denise even met her before? So yeah found that bit unrealistic but nice gesture none the less.

Cliffhanger was boring, they seem to be getting worse these days.

[Jords]

I love Jodie's accent! And she reminds me so much of Mariah Carey.

Tut Tut Vanessa!

[Stacey.]

i love Jodie so much. she's really sweet!

[Kerry]

Need to watch EE on iPlayer again. Bloody Emmerdale on for an hour again

[Patrick]

I LOVE JODIE SO MUCH! :love:

[CaraRawr]

Jodie is adorable, I love her and Darren together.

[Firewire]

Jodie is adorable. I hope she sticks around.

[bbfan1991]

I really like Jodie, she's sweet and pretty:).

Lucas aka Mark so has a split personality disorder;).

[Jessica.]

Why is Ben in court?

[Stacey.]

is Lucas actually going to kill her?

[Smithy]

Yea i think so, Just they don't show it

[MrGaryy]

WHAT THE ****. Lucy is amazing, they can't recast her :(

[Callum]

Sadly they are ^ :sad:

Loved the school scenes with Zsa Zsa and Lucy the other day, I'm loving getting to see the school. Although seemed odd to be sitting an exam in a classroom.

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon with the Jodie love, I think she's great. She's a total breath of fresh air and so far much superior than her mother who I've been disappointed with. Loved seeing Liz more tonight, such a shame she was axed she could have been the next big gossip on the Square and she really fits in too.

[Callum]

Lucy leaving in late Summer, sooner than I expected, she must've known she was leaving before the press were told then.

Recasts for both her and Ben happening later this year around late Autumn apparently.

[Callum]

EastEnders star Rita Simons has revealed that forthcoming episodes of the soap will revisit the relationship between her screen sister Ronnie Mitchell and their late father Archie.

In the BBC soap's live instalment earlier this year, viewers learned that Ronnie (Samantha Womack) had been raped by Archie (Larry Lamb) when she was a teenager. The dark secret emerged as Ronnie had a heated argument with Simons's character Roxy.

Although the storyline has been put on the backburner since the revelation, viewers can expect it to be brought back to the forefront in the weeks to come.

Speaking on This Morning today, Simons confirmed: "It is being revisited and I'm very glad. We've actually filmed it already. Sam Womack was phenomenal. I think she's had to keep replaying - I don't think she gets enough credit for it - this tragic heroine over and over. Just when we think it's over, she's got another revelation, so she was just incredible."

She continued: "It was so important to me that when we shot it - and I'm not a diva and I never do this - I asked the director, 'Please can we do it again?' because I wasn't happy. It was just that important to Sam and I, and I hope we've nailed it."

Archie was written out of EastEnders last Christmas when he was murdered in the Queen Vic, sparking a 'whodunit' storyline.

From DS

[bbfan1991]

I think Ronnie will tell Stacey about her rape and when the truth comes about about Stacey killing Archie she will help her to escape the Square.

Janine is seriously bugging me now, it's always the same thing round in circles for her, be nasty to people and scheme then get found out and beg for remorse.. then comes the reformed character which doesn't last I do like the character but EE clearly don't know what to do with her.

[Scarlett.]

lol Ronnie is on some show on Dave right now xD

[BB_Eye]

lol Ronnie is on some show on Dave right now xD

Game On?

[Callum]

Well, well, well - what do we have here, then?

We've already had numerous EastEnders script mentions of newcomer Vanessa Gold's husband - and Jodie's father - Harry in the small number of episodes since the two females in his life set foot on the Square.

It was therefore inevitable that we'd meet such a prominent character in their lives at some point in the near future a la Ronnie and Roxy's evil dad Archie Mitchell.

With Harry, I expected something similar. I thought we'd have to wait for months - at least until Zöe Lucker begins her extended second stint - to see him for the first time.

But not with this patriarch.

Here's an exclusive first look at Harry Gold - played by Linal Haft - alongside Vanessa.


http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/10/24/550w_ee_harry_vanessa.jpg

Don't they look happy?!

Take a closer look...

Beneath Vanessa's brassy exterior lies a trapped housewife.

We've seen Vanessa reject umpteen phonecalls from Harry and during next Wednesday's episode, he's at it again. Anyone would think he was checking up on her!

After a sneaky fag in the car, we actually follow Vanessa into her home - a luxury Essex mansion, complete with long driveway and pillars outside the front door. Very swish. It's all material, though. Inside, a daughter she dotes on and a husband she apparently detests.

Stepping into the front door, Vanessa changes out of her high heels and into her flip-flops, before straightening the other shoes in the lineup. On her way to the kitchen, she also spots a tall ornament out of place. Happy after pushing it into its rightful position, she moves on. Sounds all a bit OCDish to me. But that's not the best bit.

Heading into the living room, Vanessa takes a deep breath and approaches a large leather armchair. At this point, I expected a Blofeld-esque non-reveal of who was slouched in it. But to my surprise, the camera panned to Harry.

First words to his loving wife? "Mine's a double."

Questioning why she smells of smoke and interrogating her over her movements for the day, Harry eventually strikes the killer blow - he reveals that he's actually spoken to the friend Vanessa claims she's been with all day. An argument below a looming family portrait ensues, before Vanessa heads to bed - alone.

As she does, Harry moves the ornament back to the edge of the table in the hallway. Controlling or what?!

The whole 'going into the bad man's lair' scenario very much reminded me of the first time we met villainous Mitchell patriarch Archie in July 2008. Mind you, that's not a bad thing. If Archie's the measure of a modern day successful soap villain, exec producer Bryan Kirkwood's onto a winner.

Hopefully, though, Harry's not a stereotypical Archie-type - even if he is another brainchild of Simon Ashdown.

Harry makes his first appearance during next Wednesday's hour-long Ashdown ep, during which Stacey gives birth and Max comes face to face with Tanya again.

Incidentally, that episode ends with Julia's Theme...

Looks like an interesting storyline
