EastEnders discussion

[Scarlett.]

The bits with Ronnie didn't look too bad, but when it showed Heather... xD

[Jords]

Tracey last night was just beautiful.

[Braden]

Thought i'd come in here and say how much I love Kim! :love:

[Kerry]

Kims great. Not sure why she's all of a sudden in with Kat though and was allowed at the funeral etc :conf:

[Jords]

Want Kim to have a storyline, shes great!

Whitney to be prostitute in new EastEnders plot

EastEnders bosses have confirmed the soap is to highlight the issue of sexual exploitation in a storyline involving Whitney Dean.

The plot sees vulnerable Whitney, played by Shona McGarty, begin work as a prostitute.

EastEnders bosses said the teenager's life will go on a downward spiral after her stepmother Bianca Butcher (Patsy Palmer) leaves, leading her to fall for an 'unscrupulous man who ultimately sexually exploits her for his own financial gain'.

The soap - which has hit headlines over its controversial baby swap plot - has devised the plot alongside Comic Relief.

An EastEnders spokeswoman said: "EastEnders has been working alongside Comic Relief since last year, devising a storyline that raises awareness of sex exploitation.

"In the long tradition the show has of tackling social issues, this is a storyline that looks to be exploring a growing problem that faces many young women in the UK."

Gilly Green, head of UK grants at Comic Relief, said: "It is vital that we continue to alert young people to the dangers if we are to stop them being exploited and the opportunity to work with EastEnders will make a huge audience aware of this issue.

"We have been working with the EastEnders script writers and some of the young women from projects we support to ensure the story reflects the reality of young people caught up in sexual exploitation."

The charity's chief executive, Kevin Cahill, said the plot would 'highlight an important issues' and "help raise crucial funds to help young women caught up in it".

*A special 10-minute episode will be shown during Comic Relief's night of TV on March 18.



Theyve ruined Whitney recently. :bored:

[flamingGalah!]

More cheery storylines from EastEnders... :rolleyes:

[bbfan1991]

More cheery storylines from EastEnders... :rolleyes:

It's not intended to be the Waltons:D, they've done happy before and according to the ratings people switched off which must indicate they prefer seeing serious hard hitting drama plots.

I would hate it if EE started doing over the top comedy because Corrie is the comedy soap and no-one can match them at it but they can't beat EE when it comes to the drama IMO;).

Eastenders needs a few 20-25 characters and some strong male characters too.

[InOne]

The Whitney storyline sounds good!

[Josy]

Carol & Connor :bored:

[bbfan1991]

Carol & Connor :bored:

I know, what a pathetic storyline. I feel for poor Lindsey Coulson having to act that:shocked:.

Pictures of tomorrows showdown...

[InOne]

The most annoying this is how much screen time that god awful storyline gets

[bbfan1991]

Max assaults Connor with the bar, but to get rid of Bianca for a while he tells the police she did it:mad:. Bianca gets arrested and goes to jail:bawling:, then vows revenge on her return for Connor/Carol.

Carol's family turns against her and Whitney moves out hence the start of her prostitution storyline.

[Callum]

^Sounds good

I'm actually quite looking forward to tomorrow's episode seeing as it's centered around Carol and Biana who are both brilliant actress' and are great at whatever material given, even though Carol's character is being damaged by this Connor storyline. Also excited to see Sonia make a one off return, I think it's this week she's back? I know she gets a lot of hate on forums but I've always been a fan of Sonia myself.

[Jords]

Oh it might be quite good actually then Reg. :)

No, but when they try to do "comedy" it is cringeworthy, they need a happy medium... EastEnders has always been depressing, it needs to lighten up a bit without the slapstick comedy (a la Heather), I could handle the doom & gloom more if they gave at least a couple of the characters a break now & again! :D

[Jords]

Heather is epic. :D

[Barbie]

Patsy Palmer now leaving Eastenders for good, in news reports today, she has said its so she can spend more time with her family and may return when the time is right.

[Jordan.]

Says on the Daily Mail shes leaving over the cot death storyline. :shocked:

[Josy]

Awww no I really like Bianca :(

[Stephanie]

she's not leaving, she confirmed it.

[bbfan1991]

Patsy Palmer is NOT leaving:D, the press have their own agenda and keep relating every story to the baby swap:sleep:. Her contract has simply expired and she wanted to spend a bit more time with her newborn baby but has every intention in returning!

[Jordan.]

Thats good news then. :D

I hate how the press have jumped on it been about the baby storyline straight away, like people aren't fed up of hearing about it now.

[Callum]

Patsy isn't leaving but she won't be back on screens until late summer or autumn

[InOne]

Tonights episode was epic! :D

[Josy]

Max assaults Connor with the bar, but to get rid of Bianca for a while he tells the police she did it:mad:. Bianca gets arrested and goes to jail:bawling:, then vows revenge on her return for Connor/Carol.

Carol's family turns against her and Whitney moves out hence the start of her prostitution storyline.

Must have been Bianca :shocked:

[bbfan1991]

Must have been Bianca :shocked:

Whoops error:blush:.

I really felt for Whitney:(. Shona McGarty is by far the best young actor EE have IMO although Jamie Borthwick and Maisie Smith are close!

[Callum]

Loved tonight's episode. Patsy, Lindsey, Jake and even Shona were really good tonight. It didn't seem to drag neither which is rare considering it was a Jackson centred episode.

[bbfan1991]

Patsy, Lindsey and Jake were great as usual but they have plenty of experience, in fact I thought Shona really shown:).

Carol is vile:mad:.

[Josy]

Who was Max on about when he mentioned Derek? Did I hear him say our brother :conf:

[Josy]

Oh never mind :hugesmile:

This is a list of Jims kids from DS

Sons: Derek Branning, Max Branning, Jack Branning

Daughters: Carol Jackson, Sue Branning, April Branning

[bbfan1991]

Who was Max on about when he mentioned Derek? Did I hear him say our brother :conf:

Yeah they do, he was a racist and last seen in 1996:D.

[Jords]

Shona did an amazing job tonight!

[Jords]

I hate the whole Carol/Connor storyline and thought a whole ep based on that would be shocking but it was actually very good.

[InOne]

Best ep since Christmas, a bit of a change from the baby swap nonsense!

[Jords]

It was nice to see Lauren being likable tonight too LOL.

[bbfan1991]

Best ep since Christmas, a bit of a change from the baby swap nonsense!

OMG some people on DS thought that some of the rediting of this episode was due to the Ronnie thing but Patsy went into labour when they were just about to film the ending so some of the scenes of tonights episode have been rewritten and a stunt double at the end:F.

[Stephanie]

the only time patsy was in it was the confession from carol, apparently.

[Stacey.]

Whitney and Lauren :love:

Connor's a bastard.

[Kerry]

The Connor/Carol thing is sick. It's like she's shagging her son

[bbfan1991]

I still don't like Lauren:nono:.

Whitney is fab though:love:.

[dannyboy]

I did wonder if there was a body double used for several of Bianca's scenes. The only bits that were definitely her were the long scene with Carol at the beginning, and the bit where she went up to Connor saying she wants a word with him. Every other time it was the back of her head we saw, lol.

[flamingGalah!]

Carol is vile:mad:.

That's a bit harsh! She has been through a lot & was doing what she did due to her grief... She was used just as much by Connor as Whitney was...

[InOne]

Tanwar is really annoying :bored:

[Kerry]

Really hoping Alfie doesn't do anything with Roxy :/

[InOne]

I didn't know that the baby wasn't Alfie's, only started watching it again recently, can someone fill me in?

[Callum]

Michael Moon, Alfie's cousin is the baby's father. He met Kat when they were in Spain and Alfie was arrested, while he was away Michael made a move on Kat and got her pregnant but she thought it was Alfie's until a few months back.

In other news, Sonia's back tonight, just for this episode though, will be nice to see her again. Apparently she explains what has happened to her Martin and Rebecca since she left.

[bbfan1991]

Really hoping Alfie doesn't do anything with Roxy :/

Me too, I adore Kalfie together and it would be nice for a soap like Eastenders to show that a man and woman can be friends without anything sexual going on but at this rate I reckon BK will go forward with it as he was fond of affair storylines at Hollyoaks;).

Kat pissed me off yesterday with her treatment of Big Mo:bored:, I know she's having a tough time but it's no excuse and if I was Mo I would have told her to do one:D.

[Jords]

Afia better stay around longer this time. :love:

[Kerry]

Sooooooo predictable "don't look back"

[InOne]

Sonia was pretty rubbish in the episode, never liked her anyway. Her and Carol have that proper dull look that sucks the life out of you

[InOne]

double post

[Jords]

I missed tonight, wonder why there was Sonia talk. :laugh:

[Kerry]

Oh how convenient. Roxy just happens to be ovulating right now :rolleyes:

If she gets pregnant from one go I'm gonna scream

[InOne]

Sorta losing it's way a bit now EE. Needs a boost :nono:

[Kerry]

Has it been leaked wether she does have a baby with/for them?

[Kerry]

Sorta losing it's way a bit now EE. Needs a boost :nono:

Tonights ep was stupid

[bbfan1991]

Chryed:sleep:, I prefer Christian on his own because Syed is dull and overrated on DS.

We'll have to wait a while longer for EE to be on form again;).

[InOne]

Heather is the most pointless thing to grace EE ever. Was actually cringing tonight every time she was on.

[Kerry]

Tanya made me laugh :D

Rest of the episode was crap

[flamingGalah!]

Heather is the most pointless thing to grace EE ever. Was actually cringing tonight every time she was on.

[Kerry]

Does Max's bird ever wear anything other than stupid white suits?

Vanessa, thats it. She's made that much of an impact I forgot :joker:

[Marsh.]

There's a lot of Marie this, Marie that tonight. Is she succeeding Tracy?

And Vanessa's hair is awful. I hope Zoe Lucker wears a wig or something because in real life walking about with that on your head won't attract good attention.

And who on gods earth would kiss someone that looks like Darren in a nightclub?
First thoughts would be either "underage plank" or "drug addict".

And Janine's been promoted lol. Now a Madame.

[Marsh.]

Oh how convenient. Roxy just happens to be ovulating right now :rolleyes:

If she gets pregnant from one go I'm gonna scream


Like Violet and Sean in Corrie. Came up with the idea, thought about it, decided, ran tests and got pregnant in a weeks worth of episodes.

But I don't think that they will actually have a baby. It's just a plot device for Syed to have a health scare and get back in mummy's good books.

[Kerry]

LOL Mo :laugh2: :laugh2:

[bbfan1991]

Ooh now Glenda has got her revenge by telling Roxy that Phil and Shirley nicked that cash:shocked:.

[bbfan1991]

EastEnders star Steve John Shepherd has suggested that his character Michael Moon could have a future with Roxy Mitchell.

Next week's episodes of the BBC soap see Michael and Roxy (Rita Simons) enjoy a date together at The Vic, leaving fans to wonder whether a more serious relationship could develop between the pair.

In an interview with Inside Soap, Shepherd explained: "They spend a nice evening together and then share a kiss. Roxy and Michael just enjoy each other's company.

"He likes her no-nonsense, feisty nature - and she's wild, so I think he enjoys that too."

He continued: "Roxy and Michael make a good couple and although this first date isn't a major deal, there's every chance it could lead to something more in the future."

Michael returned to screens earlier this week when he arrived at The Vic unexpectedly - providing a shock for Kat and Alfie.

[bbfan1991]

LOL Janine and Whitney in those wigs:laugh2:, although Janine actually looks nice in hers:shocked::blush:.

[Kerry]

Janines wig looked better than her awful tatty hair

I'm sick of the Masoods dictating their kids' lives

[InOne]

Dunno what to make of the Masoods, Tanwar is a little cringey to watch at times

[Kerry]

I like the Masoods. They provide some (I stress some) fun. But their obsession to run their kids' lives drives me insane

[Jords]

Janines wig looked better than her awful tatty hair


Thought she looked great with the wig!

Hmmm, I love the Masoods, Tamwar is hilarious in a cringey way I find. :laugh:


Cant stand Michael already, bleh.

[Kerry]

Michael reeks of slime

[bbfan1991]

I don't mind Michael so far:).

I'm also fed up of how the Masood dictate their kids lives when they are old enough to make their own decisions but it's reflecting the real life attitudes of some Asian families out there, it's the girls who they are more stricter towards...

[bbfan1991]

Monday February 28th

Yusef helps Denise get through Lucas's hearing and also tries to reminisce with Zainab about old times.

Meanwhile, Kat's old friend from Spain, Martina, and her daughter Shenice turn up unexpectedly.

Tuesday March 1st

Denise files for divorce from Lucas and decides to celebrate by having a party.

Later, Yusef tries to upstage Masood at the party.

Meanwhile, Roxy feels put out as Ronnie and Glenda spend the day together while she is working.

Thursday March 3rd

Phil catches Glenda and Roxy trying to steal money from his house.

In need of money, Masood is roped into Phil's plan to fool Roxy.

Later, desperate Glenda blurts out that she has been sleeping with Phil - but will Shirley believe her?

Friday March 4th

Everyone is in shock after Glenda's revelation.

Ian is worried that his secret will come out so tries to find a way to make Glenda leave the Square.

Meanwhile, Zainab tries to convince Masood to put the past behind him.

Why do I get the feeling Yusef will get with Denise?:(.

[InOne]

Why is it Darren takes little to no interest in his kid :/

[bbfan1991]

I really like Kat but at the moment i'm fast running out of sympathy for her because she's annoying me:(.

I'm used to soaps taking creative license and everything but this "Poor Heather" story is too silly for words.

Two or three jobs, benefits, housing by the council etc and we're supposed to believe she and the baby are starving.
Bryan Kirkwood just aint cutting it.


Edit - And now the classic good character has a mood swing to show us how bad things have got. She's a "bully" now. Says Carol, who smacked Liam and mentally scarred Tiff.

[Kerry]

Even Heather wouldn't leave George Hmmmm.....

[Kerry]

Bloody hell, now she's the fastest runner in the East

[Marsh.]

And just incase we're too stupid to realise what's happening we've got half an hours worth of shot to Heather, shot to the boiler, shot to Heather, shot to the boiler.
Hmm, whatever could they be hinting at?

[Kerry]

That was pathetic. As if seeing an orange flame wasn't enough when the boiler lit up

[InOne]

Got to be the most tedious episode I've watched tonight. Heather spluttering and coughing all over. And yeah, all those jobs plus child benefit would not leave her that poor. And that last shot, good god :bored: The less Heather the better, why can't they just make her jolly?

[Kerry]

Harry Hill's gonna have a ball with that episode

He is. I remember him doing a sketch after the episode where she had an asthma attack in the square lol.

He's definately gonna mention her sprint back from 'Mummy's' flat. How she was there and the next second sprinting (well, sorta) across the square :laugh:

[Jords]

I loved the all Heather ep. :laugh:

[flamingGalah!]

That was the worst EVER episode I have seen... words simply fail me...

I actually got up to do the washing up 10 minutes in... :sleep:

Just kill the fat bitch off already, most pointless character to ever appear in ANY soap... :yuk:

[InOne]

She could be ok, but they make her some slobbering mess that just isn't pleasant to watch.

[Kerry]

She's lovely in real life too. Very fun and scrubs up nicely :D I bet she can't wait to get out of the studio and scrub 'Heather' off every day

[flamingGalah!]

She could be ok, but they make her some slobbering mess that just isn't pleasant to watch.

Yep, Heather is meant to simply be a bumbling fat pig, that's why she was put there to be the "comedy" fat person...

Even her surname "Trott" is meant to be funny, (as in pig's trotters)... :sleep:

Then we have her Mum, the delightful Queenie who called her "Pig"...

If I were the actress I would have had a little more dignity than to accept that role...

[Barbie]

Byran Kirkwood keeps doing pointless storylines that lead nowhere or are never tied up, its ridiculous, and when he does end one its rubbish anyway. He needs to go now! Bring back Diederick Santer

[bbfan1991]

I like Heather:joker:, felt sorry for her although I didn't like her rant at Shirley LOL.

Still watching but the show really isn't on top form, it's all gone downhill for BK at the moment:(.

[bbfan1991]

Enjoyed tonights episode:), I can't stand Dot or Fatboy but they did make me laugh.

Shirley has made mistakes in not being there for Heather all the time but she's unaware of what Phil is upto and cannot spend 24/7 at Heather's beckon and call so I didn't like Patrick telling her off:nono:.

I'm thinking now if EastEnders slump is continuing then the people at the top will consider Bryan Kirkwood's position? definetly not EastEnders at it's ground breaking best at the moment:(.

[Kerry]

Dot's made me laugh every episode this week. A welcome break from the gloom

Sick of this Ronnie/Michael/Baby thing now. Enough already.

Kat needs to stop having a go at everyone now, tedious...

FGS though, Whitney throws herself all over these days and ruins something good.

The movie scenes lmao and Dot talking to Yusef:D, most of that episode I rather enjoyed apart from the ending but I do feel sorry for Whitney:). Wonder if Seb will be permanent or if he was just in for that episode?

Shirley is left devastated in EastEnders next month when she discovers the truth about Phil and Glenda's affair.

As fans already know, Glenda is to go public with the news of Phil's infidelity in the Queen Vic this Thursday - leaving Shirley wondering whether she can believe the schemer's allegations.

However, in the aftermath of Glenda's bombshell, Shirley is soon left in no doubt that Phil has been unfaithful. Paying a visit to the R&R, she overhears Phil and Glenda arguing in the office and, while eavesdropping on the row, she listens in horror as Phil speaks openly about his betrayal.

When Shirley walks in on the pair, Phil is shocked to have been caught out at last. He tries to protest that it's not what Shirley suspects, but she's heard enough of his lies and won't listen.

Later, when Glenda causes more trouble on the Square, a furious Shirley has had enough and drags her into the chip shop. Will Glenda live to regret crossing Shirley?

Looking forward to the rest of the week's episodes. Tonight's was a nice filler episode. Good to have a break from the Kat and Alfie drama for a change. Apparently there's going to be a 15 minute episode broadcast on the Comic Relief programme on Friday, first time that's been done I think.

How old are Abbie and Jay? They make a very odd couple..... Ben I could understand....

OMG Janine's being compassionate :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

[Jords]

Whitney fgs :'(

[Jords]

Thats why I like Janine, because shes not completely heartless unlike other soap villians.

I did like her today. Wish she'd knee'ed Rob in the krackers though

[InOne]

Was it me or was the Whitney ep on Comic Relief a little dull and an anti-climax. Also seemed really rushed :S

[bbfan1991]

I liked that short episode, feel sorry for Whitney:bawling:. Janine was right for a change about everyone letting Whit down because they couldn't care less and even though she went they couldn't be bothered to try and find her..

[Jords]

I thought it was the complete opposite, dramatic and tense..

I didn't realise EE was being shown yesterday, what did i miss?

[Kerry]

Was that supposed to be an actual episode? I thought they were just showing it as a clip and it'd be shown again in a full episode

[Kerry]

I didn't realise EE was being shown yesterday, what did i miss?

Whit escaping from Rob in dramatic fashion when it finally dawned on her he was prostituting her

[Locke.]

What? There was an episode yesterday?

[Kerry]

What? There was an episode yesterday?

Yeah, amid Comic Relief

[Kerry]

It's down as a spoiler so I think it'll be shown again on Monday

[Callum]

I don't think it will be, it's being added on to tomorrow's omnibus for those who missed it. I think it was an actual episode, just was shorter than usual so it would be able to be played during Comic Relief. I really liked it personally, great acting from Shobna again.

Whitney has morphed into Sunita LOL?:p


EastEnders is coming back to top form again:).

[CarlaConnor]

EE has been good recently... but for me deffo does not beat corrie! :D

[Callum]

There's a rumour going around on DS that Thomas Law (Peter Beale) was seen filming on set earlier this week. The source is said to be an extra on EE

[Kerry]

Wonder where Whit's ended up after Fridays 10 minute episode then. I thought she'd be back home today

[Callum]

Same here ^ Hope we see her in the next episode, didn't like the cliffhanger with Darren crying tonight, felt like that storyline had been on the back burner for a while and tonight it was suddenly at the forefront of the show again. I noticed a lot of long pauses tonight too, found that a bit odd.

[Kerry]

Probably ended up in a homeless shelter or something :(

['Conor]

i dont watch eastenders but i seen the comic relief thing, and it was good! what happened after?

[Callum]

Well we haven't seen Whitney since that episode, nothing is known whether she went with that family that helped her or if she's still out on the streets.

['Conor]

ooh k might just watch that storyline, what days does it be on?

[Callum]

Not sure, I don't think that storyline will surface again for a little while because it's not in any of the spoilers for the next 2 weeks. :conf:

[Judas]

Monday, Tuesday, Thursdays and Fridays... and its repeated the same nights on BBC3 @ 10pm.

['Conor]

thanks :)

['Conor]

Not sure, I don't think that storyline will surface again for a little while because it's not in any of the spoilers for the next 2 weeks. :conf:

thats a bit stupid?

[Kerry]

Was nice to see Hev actually furious today about her baby being hurt. Absolute twaddle she wouldn't just barge past Darren and take him though. Any Mother would

[Callum]

thats a bit stupid?

I know :(

The storyline resurfaces on the 4th of April according to the spoilers, when Ricky goes looking for her. It's also the episode where Pat returns. She's been gone for ages, will be good to have her back.

[Callum]

Yes, finally good writing for her tonight. She's always portayed as a dumb woman who relies on Shirley but it was nice to see her sticking up for herself tonight.

['Conor]

I know :(

i remember Pat from when i used to watch it years ago :joker: shes kl

[bbfan1991]

Tanya Branning about those glamour girls of Michael's and what they do..

''It's sick, disgusting and degrading''

These three words from someone who buried the father of her kids alive:rolleyes::laugh2:.

[Kerry]

Ugh, Ronnie leaving can seriously not come quick enough!!!!!!


And Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeean's back!!!!! :love: Awwwww she and Kat tonight. How lovely was that? :)

[bbfan1991]

Jean is lovely:), I actually prefer her to Kat now!. Kat has every right to feel depressed due to whats happened but she's been like this before what Ronnie did and she's become very bitter plus she treats Alfie like dirt so getting fed up of her but it looks like she becomes the bubbly Kat once the Ronnie thing is over with.

I'll actually miss Ronnie when she goes:bawling:, whatever people think she's such a controversial character and has made an impact and will go down as one of the best characters..

[bbfan1991]

Had a look at Inside Soap today and the upcoming stuff with the climax of that controversial storyline, the Masood's roof collapse and Janine's nan arriving etc all sound very interesting so hopefully the show turns around the current negative opinions:).

[bbfan1991]

I really can't stand Dot:(, feel sorry for her though..

[Kerry]

When's Bianca back?

[bbfan1991]

^ Don't think Bianca Jackson will be back until next year.

Whitney's back:), but looking oh so rough after her sad ordeal:shocked::(.

[Kerry]

Next year?!?! :shocked:

[bbfan1991]

Next year?!?! :shocked:

Yeah because Patsy Palmer wants to spend more time with Bertie, he was born early than expected and nearly died:shocked:.

[Kerry]

Wow, never knew. She was on TV live the other night and never said

[bbfan1991]

Wow, never knew. She was on TV live the other night and never said

The papers reported it, perhaps she didn't want to say anything? Patsy went into labour when they filmed the Connor getting attacked storyline and so they had to change certain bits, plus getting a stunts person to play Bianca at the end before the duff duff (with no lines):D.

[Kerry]

Awwww everyone turning to Dot

[Callum]

I liked that too, it's nice to see Dot being featured a lot more recently. I like how she's not just a comic relief character anymore. Looking forward to the big reveal on Friday, about time Kat found out.

[Kerry]

I can't wait for the reveal. I'm sick to death of Ronnies bloody face

[Kerry]

:love:

http://i1.cdnds.net/11/15/550w_eastenders_moon_family_w16_4.jpg

[bbfan1991]

Dot still annoys me now LOL:joker:.

I'm actually going to miss Ronnie:blush:, hopefully once this nonsense plot has been forgotten about Kat can appreciate Alfie more and stop snapping at him everytime, she's already bitter now and will be more so after Friday plus being shocked, angry and heartbroken.

For Ronnie she's obviously broken the law but I think she needs psychological help.. mental institute?

[Kerry]

So silly how they've dragged the babyswap story and this week it's gone into warp factor. Words dropped here and there between Kat and Ronnie. Ugh

[Callum]

EastEnders star Margaret Tyzack has withdrawn from filming for personal reasons, forcing show bosses to recast the character of Lydia Simmonds, Digital Spy can confirm.

Earlier this year, it was announced that stage star Tyzack had been cast in the role of Lydia, who is Janine Malloy's estranged grandmother. Viewers saw her on screen for the first time last week as Janine (Charlie Brooks) visited her gran in hospital after hearing that she was unwell.

However, following Tyzack's unexpected departure from the soap, programme chiefs have recruited actress Heather Chasen to take over the part. Chasen has appeared in a number of TV roles since the 1960s, including appearances in Z Cars, Young Sherlock, The Bill, Casualty and Doctors.

EastEnders producers took the unusual step of recasting the role with immediate effect as the ongoing storyline between Lydia and Janine will be an important one for Albert Square in the months ahead.

Speaking of the decision, a show spokesperson told DS: "Unfortunately, due to a personal matter, Margaret Tyzack has had to finish filming earlier than planned.

"In order to continue the current storyline we've taken the decision for Heather Chasen to take over the role of Lydia."

Chasen will begin filming at EastEnders on Friday. The changeover will then take place on screen immediately, meaning that fans will see the actress's first scenes as Lydia next week.

I liked Margaret in the role, hopefully the new actress will be able to play her just as well.

[InOne]

I've started to like Ronnie lol god knows why. A lot of the side characters are better at the moment. Like Mo and the Big black girl. The ones who get the main storylines are quite bland. Ian, Greg, Tania, Jane, Masoods

Kim. She's ace :D

[Kerry]

Just remembered, did anyone else notice Vanessa's glued on white coat on Monday/Tuesday? The pink jacket for the hen party went over the top of it plus once she was home she was still sat in the thing watching TV :joker:

[Locke.]

Just caught up with the last 2 episodes.. the actress that plays Jane is so so crap.

[Callum]

Yep, I hate how she's always in white. Another color just isn't even an option for her. It's so tacky, I've seen women who dress in white clothing a lot but not all the time like Vanessa.

The wedding tonight, should be good, what with the

car crash happening also

Also not fussed on Tanya's mum yet, may grow on me, but not been impressed with her so far, the way she talks also is rather annoying.

[Marsh.]

What's the actress been in? I'm sure I recognise her. But agree about her voice, sounds like she's making a gangster movie.

But, this episode is awful. Max is a crap character. Crying over Tania remarrying, after "falling" for Vanessa, after crying to be with Stacey at Christmas but she turned him down. Wish both him and Jack would piss off.

And why the hell has Zoe Lucker let them plonk that nest on her head, it looks dreadful. I hope it's a wig, walking around with that in real life must be a pain. lol

[Locke.]

Max better live :nono:

Hope that horrible little chubby girl dies though

[Callum]

Good episode! I always like EE weddings because they bring the community together. Liked the Kat/Ronnie scenes outside the church, the big reveal tomorrow should be very good. Crash at the end was filmed rather well, although some shots were a bit tacky.

Marsh, the actress who plays her Ann Mitchell has been in quite a few TV shows. The Bill, French and Saunders and Taggart she's starred in before.

[Stacey.]

I hope Max and Abbie both survive *scurd*

And I hope Tanya doesn't marry him :(

[Rob]

hope they both make it

[Iceman]

She already did? she said I will

[Callum]

She already did? she said I will

I thought that too :conf:

[Stacey.]

She already did? she said I will

Omfg really? *must've missed that bit*

[Iceman]

Yeah she kind of whispered it...

[Rob]

Did she?

[Iceman]

Yup Im almost certain.

[Locke.]

Yeah it happened just before the crash

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Great episode tonight, but cant wait for tomorrow's, it will be amazing i think.

Not surprised with that voice. lol. She seems like she should be another unmentioned Mitchell family member. She doesn't really fit into the Brannings.

[Callum]

The big reveal is finally here!!!

[Locke.]

Max lives :dance:

[Kerry]

Hope it doesn't make me cry

[Smithy]

Kat looks like she's gonna kill her :shocked:

[Locke.]

Alfie and Jack :joker:

[Callum]

Great acting tonight

Finally the bitch is behind the bars

[Jords]

That was a good reveal, Kat cant believe it!

I feel sorry for Ron again now though - shes annoyed me since she did it too. :laugh:

[Iceman]

Poor Ronnie :(

[Lee.]

-is going to start watching Easties again- :amazed:

[Marsh.]

Samantha Womack is a good actress, but gotta say Jessie Wallace really impressed me.

She got it perfectly, right amount of not quite understanding, getting peed off, and just hurting from all the grief Ronnie was dragging back up. Thought she was gonna rip her face off.

Jack did my head in though, all he does is chase Ronnie round repeating the same dialogue "What you sayin?". SHE'S SAYING HE'S NOT YOURS!!!!

[Kerry]

Jessie was brilliant

[KG.]

Completely agree with this post, tonight was really a really good episode and Jessie Wallace's acting was impeccable.

[Callum]

Agree with the Jessie praise, she was brilliant tonight. So glad she decided to return. The way she spoke and looked at Ronnie when they had the one to one was just astounding. She played it perfectly.

[Kerry]

As if Max and Abbie would just walk out of that car though :laugh2: They'd have the engine on their laps!

[InOne]

Loved Jessie tonight. Was a pretty good ep. Great acting all around

[KG.]

As if Max and Abbie would just walk out of that car though :laugh2: They'd have the engine on their laps!

Yeah I thought it was a bit weird how they both came out of it with only a couple of cuts and bruises, the corner of the blue thing they crashed in was right where Max would've been sitting.

Also found it quite funny how at the wedding when they found out about it it was broad daylight when Tanya was asking Jack if she could go with him, yet in the next scene of him driving there it was night time all of a sudden :laugh:

[Kerry]

I'm sure theres something different about Jack. Is it his hair? He looks..... I dunno, odd

[Iceman]

I think looking back Sam Womack's acting tonight was terrific, standout of the night for me, Jessie was amazing but overshadowed by Sam's conflicted dialouge, I just sincerely hope that when she leaves she takes a year off and then comes back in 2012 or 2013.
