Ronnie's exit (:(:bawling:) next week Thursday, hour long episode.

[Iceman]

Just read a spoiler from that.

Also Sam Womack, cut her hair and dyed it Red :shocked:

(Might start a new thread for EE Discussion soon, this one is taking a bit longer than most to load, will let you know when)

[bbfan1991]

Yeah because she did have lots of press attention when all the controversy was brewing and the papers alleged she was on the verge of a breakdown.

Some people in RL shouted some abuse at her while she was with her kids apparently not being able to tell fact from fiction:rolleyes:.

Hope she looks nice with the new look:D.

[Iceman]

I was looking and I cant find a picture :(

Next week should be very good although

I reckon she'll walk away scott free because, setting her up for another kidnap story is too much, it just screams Freedom

Kat is rumoured to forgive her so maybe her testimony helps Ronnie aboid jail but the judge ordering her to go to a secure psychologist hospital treatment away from Walford for treatment;)..

[Kate!]

I hope she walks away a free woman and moves on with her life, and also hope to see her back on the square someday, she's a brilliant actress.

Loads fine for me

[Locke.]

Poppy is back :worship:

[Locke.]

Alfie :joker: :joker:

[InOne]

Poppy :amazed:

Wasn't a bad episode towards the end

[bbfan1991]

When did Alfie become so tough?:laugh2:. Michael is really coming into his own now as a character, really bad:devil:.

I'm dreading Ronnie's exit:(.

Loved Whitney punching Tyler, Jodie and Poppy are funny together ha ha. EE has been more upbeat recently:D.

[Callum]

Michael is a great character, really grown on me. Him and Ronnie had great chemistry, they are both damaged people and could see them working as a couple.

Tyler Moon hasn't made much of an impression on me, it's nice though to have a new character who hasn't got a hidden secret. Didn't really see the point of having Poppy in tonight's episode but I think she's becoming a full time character because she's got promo pics. Tiffany and her friends on their phones was a bit alarming, kids at her age having a mobile phone is rather sad.

[Locke.]

Michael or Jack aren't leaving when Ronnie does are they?

[bbfan1991]

Michael or Jack aren't leaving when Ronnie does are they?

Nope, however what happens next for Roxy is not going to be good she's going to be mentally abused by Michael:(:shocked:.

[Kerry]

Obviously wouldn't like Michael as a person but he's a good soap villain

[bbfan1991]

I hope Kat returns to her fun self once the Ronnie thing is over but of course something like that cannot be completely forgotten.

Michael is brilliant, I really like this guy:hugesmile:. Think the show is starting to pick up and there's some Masood drama around the corner too!

Bloody 'ell, now what? :laugh:

[Locke.]

**** sake Masood can't get a break can he :joker:

[Kerry]

**** sake Masood can't get a break can he :joker:

He's only 20 really. Just looks about 50 through stress

[bbfan1991]

I really, really want SHABNAM back:bawling:. She was so fun and amazing, loved her outrageous clubbing antics and Zainab going mad:joker:.

[bbfan1991]

Bloody 'ell, now what? :laugh:

Yusef turns his troublemaking attentions to other people;).

[Kerry]

Eeewwww rat

[Marsh.]

I'm a bit confused after tonight's "twist". I missed a few episodes but was Alfie completely unaware that Michael is going out with Roxy? And everyone oblivious that Jack was visiting baby Tommy and buying him gifts? And did Kat and Alfie think Jack was having nothing to do with Ronnie? It was all very complicated at the end.
But I get the feeling the writer's are trying too hard now to make Michael complex. Because they're overdoing it and it's coming off as back and forth writing rather than any character development.

But plus side I've seen a side of the actor that aint all that bad. He could be good.
I bet Rita Simons is quietly grateful that Sam left because she's finally getting a story of her own. Don't think she's had that since Sean left.

[bbfan1991]

Rita must have been chuffed to have more screentime but she's actually very gutted Sam has left because they're very close in RL:).

If only Roxy had a business mind instead of being thick, after all Lord Sugar is Rita's uncle:joker:.

[Jords]

Nope, however what happens next for Roxy is not going to be good she's going to be mentally abused by Michael:(:shocked:.

Can see it being a good, but dark, storyline.

Michaels basically playing eveyone. Manipulating them to his advantage.

Kat and Alfie are just annoyed as Jack took Ronnie back after what she did. They forgave that until he got her the best defence money could buy (hence getting slung out)

Kat and Alfie have every right to be angry and after Jack found out he was understandably devestated and furious but when Ronnie explained her state of mind he understood because of what she went through and he obviously still loves her because it's hard to turn feelings off..

[InOne]

I was glad to have a bit of a break from the Masoods for once :joker: Loving all this Michael stuff, he's a really good character

The Masood's have spent quite a while in the shadows of the Brannings/Mitchells/Moons/Beales etc who have obviously dominated screentime and that it's a relief to see them at the forefront at the show because they're a interesting family:).

Never watched it when they fisrt moved in so I'm not quite used to them lol They're not too bad, I think it's Christian and Syed that annoy me most, always falling out and nothing seems to go anywhere with them

I used to like Christian and Syed when they first got together but now I cannot stand them, overrated on the web and Syed is so dull he drains the life out of fun Christian but they should remain together after the risks Syed took to make it happen..

Loved Janine tonight, nice to have her and Billy sharing scenes again. The one with the three of them in Billy's living room was genius.

[Kerry]

Michael's scaring me :shocked:

I really don't see the point in Janine now:rolleyes:. Would love for a fresh new bad girl to come and challenge her!

[bbfan1991]

Samantha Womack has claimed that fans will be "surprised" by Ronnie Mitchell's exit from EastEnders.

Viewers will see Womack's character leave Albert Square this week, in a storyline that sees her stand trial for swapping her dead son James for Kat and Alfie Moon's baby Tommy on New Year's Day.

The plot garnered a record number of complaints from outraged EastEnders viewers, but Womack assured Virgin Media that the tragic saga would have the "right ending".

"I think this is the right ending to the storyline and I think the audience will be surprised by some of the things that happened," she said.

"She knows that going to court is the right thing but Ronnie will punish herself more than any custodial sentence."

Womack recently admitted that she had been "crying or screaming every day" during her time on Eastenders after a slew of hard-hitting plots.

She announced her departure from the soap back in January at the peak of the baby-swap controversy.

Eastenders' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood stated this week that he would "love" for Womack to return in the future.


Sounds like she gets off for me and decides to have help away from the Square after being forgiven by Kalfie. Think they will leave the Ronnie/Jack thing open if Sam Womack wants to return at some point in the future once she's had enough breaktime away;)..

[Marsh.]

Rita must have been chuffed to have more screentime but she's actually very gutted Sam has left because they're very close in RL:).

If only Roxy had a business mind instead of being thick, after all Lord Sugar is Rita's uncle:joker:.

That's why I said "quietly grateful".

That makes sense. Thanks.

I think I'm starting to fall out of touch with the soaps. lol.
There's plenty characters I can't stand like Michael and Brendan from HO that everyone seems to love. Let's hope Michael isn't turned gay otherwise the "love" for him will be unbearable and there'll be 100 appreciation threads started on DS waiting for his first love scene.

Ronnie Exit Spoiler (well, build up)

EastEnders

After months of controversy over the baby swap storyline, Ronnie makes a heartbreaking exit from Walford this week.

Days before appearing in court to hear the verdict, Ronnie is stunned to see Michael make a move on her. Not only is she uncomfortable because he is her sister's partner, she's also worried about what Jack would think. But when she rejects him, Michael is furious and decides to take his revenge by coming up with a nasty plan to set her up.

He sends Ronnie a text from Roxie's mobile asking her to meet in the park. When she gets there, Ronnie doesn't find her sister – instead, she sees little Tommy on his own. It's all part of Michael's evil plan, of course. In the meantime, Michael's also managed to convince Kat and Alfie to head to the park, and they can't believe their eyes when they see their son in the arms of the woman who previously stole their baby. With her verdict looming, is Ronnie now definitely heading to prison?

I know some people will be against Kat forgiving but that doesn't mean she is not forgetting what happened. Some parents of people who've been killed have forgiven their killers and that takes some strength but this is less of a crime but still broken the law and affected lots of lives..

Poor Ronnie, gonna be a really good watch this week - great twist before the trial very well thought-out EE and definitely grooming Michael into a great villain.

Kat finds out before the sentencing that Ronnie was telling the truth about Michael and after hearing everything about what Ronnie has gone through in the courtroom decides to forgive her apparently..

I know some people will be against Kat forgiving but that doesn't mean she is not forgetting what happened. Some parents of people who've been killed have forgiven their killers and that takes some strength but this is less of a crime but still broken the law and affected lots of lives..

Im all up for Kat forgiving Ronnie. Obviously it was an awful thing to do and unimaginable in a real life scenario.. But knowing Ronnie's background, and Kat grieving for the lost of a child and knowing how it felt, and indeed saying the line 'sometimes I wish it was your baby who died', she must be able to find forgiveness somewhere. Like you said, never forget, but Tommy's back with her now.

Yeah, I know she forgives her or testifies in her favour. I'd not be against her for it but Michael better watch his bollocks if Kat gets at him.....!!!!

[Marsh.]

Wouldn't you think they'd be a bit more panicky when it comes to leaving Tommy on his own after what happened? How does Michael get away with "kidnapping" him.

Michael is the real dad so he could probably persuade them going on that.

Poor Ronnie :(

[hotleggs]

The ronnie story is becoming boring now

[Vicky.]

First time I have watched eastenders in a long time...only watched it because the mother in laws here :laugh:

Quite enjoyed it actually.

Laurens such a little bitch now, since the last time i watched it. Self centered spoilt brat :hmph:

[InOne]

Lauren is hot :amazed:

Didn't really like the way Michael was revealed, wasn't as dramatic as I expected.

I watched EastEnders tonight for the 1st time since the live episode, it was really sad to see Ronnie be sent down :(

[Kerry]

Knew she'd get Julia's theme. I liked the little smile she gave at the end though :)

Wonder if they'll keep mentioning her etc? Like Roxy saying she's going to visit her or something? Or if they'll just say she's refusing visits then stop? :conf:

['Conor]

I would say Ronnie will be mentioned for a while..

[Kerry]

I can't see how Michael could stick around now but I'm assuming he is

[bbfan1991]

That was so sad:(. I will miss Ronnie, will miss her a lot and I imagine she gets treatment for her mental state in the imaginary fictional Walford prison:joker:.

Glad Kat forgave her but the writers have ruined Kat's character through this storyline too..

The Best Exits programme was so epic, Dirty Den's first one then the return and that murder, Phil and Grant's crash, Peggy's poignant departure, Stacey leaving on Christmas day etc:love:.

Definitely, it's good at hooking the audience, whereas I only tend to watch Coronation Street for certain storyline's and when an irrelevant part comes on I lose track of what is going on.

It's hard hitting, gritty and there is the odd happy moments but EastEnders do it their own special way. Noticed more lighter scenes now under Kirkwood though.

Yeah, there has definitely been a lot more comedy and it's a little bit more 'life-like' than what it was.

[bbfan1991]

Yeah, there has definitely been a lot more comedy and it's a little bit more 'life-like' than what it was.

The comedy doesn't feel forced or contrived as it was before, Corrie is the humorous soap but i've cringed at some of the things they have done but of course most of the time they are funny.

[Locke.]

What's with all the dodgy camera angles tonight? :crazy:

[bbfan1991]

Heard that Amira might be returning because Preeya Kalidas has a ''special announcement'' to make on this day. Grr Amira was a plot device for Christian and Syed, apart from her pregnancy she's not really needed back:sleep::mad:.

Shabnam should be the one coming back, recast if the original actress does not want to return.

[Kerry]

Cannot for the life of me remember what Shabnam looked like. Everytime I imagine her I think of Layla in Emmerdale!

She still doesn't look that familiar yet I remember her character. How odd

[InOne]

More Poppy and Lauren is needed.

Maybe they'll go on a slutty night out or something :amazed:

EE is lacking big time in birds at the moment :bored:

[bbfan1991]

Shabnam was a rebel, she used to hang around with Dawn going clubbing and seeing some guys which annoyed Zainab so much:joker:. She eventually calmed down and went to Pakistan.

[Jords]

Ronnie's court case hour long episode was executed really well and the emotion was portrayed well.

1 of the great soap characters of recent times!

[Jords]

I remember Shabnam, Id like to see her back and how shed act with everything thats gone on...

There was another Asian girl I really liked who left, she worked in the salon and was good friends with Stacey I think :suspect:

Vanessa punches Tanya after discovering the affair with Max:D. I can't stand Tanya, so stuck up and a hypocrite.

SEETHING Vanessa Gold will ATTACK cheating Tanya Jessop in front of son Oscar - after discovering her affair with fiancé Max Branning.


The toddler screams "Mummy!" after Vanessa storms into Tanya's house and punches her in EastEnders.


The pair then roll around on the floor pulling each other's hair and scratching each other as three-year-old Oscar and Tanya's hubby Greg watch on in horror.


An EastEnders insider said: "She hunts Tanya down to her house and forces her way in before attacking her.


"There is nothing like a woman scorned but Tanya doesn't take it lying down. She gives back as good as she gets. It leaves little Oscar in a right state." Viewers have seen Max (Jake Wood) start an affair with his ex-wife Tanya (Jo Joyner).


They started meeting up for sex sessions behind the backs of Tanya's new hubby Greg and Max's fiancée Vanessa following a passionate hospital romp on Tanya's wedding day.


They even got down and dirty at Max's engagement party as his wife-to-be (Zoe Lucker) was DOWNSTAIRS. In scenes due to be screened later this summer, Tanya will end the affair after Max's brother Jack (Scott Maslen) finds out about it - but Max tells Vanessa everything and dumps her.


Vanessa then storms out of their home and races round to Tanya's. The insider said: "The fight will be as explosive as Tanya and Max's recent sex scenes.".

[Jords]

Preeti?

Yeah! It was doing my nut in not knowing her name.

:love:


Preeti, Amira, Shabnam, Afia :love:
They can cast Asian girls really well, shame they dont make their characters more lasting with better storylines (can see Afia becoming deadwood soon already).

[bbfan1991]

I liked Preeti, Shabnam was the best Asian girl they've had in the show IMO. I don't mind Afia. Could not stand Amira, plot device but did feel sorry for her over the affair.

[bbfan1991]

Confirmed: Amira Shah is returning to Walford.

[Kerry]

Whats the bets theres a baby tug of love?

[Jords]

100%

[bbfan1991]

Apparently she comes back bitter:conf:, she gave Christian and Syed before she left. Will be interesting if she has kept her baby.. I might actually like her if EE develop her character other than a plot device for Chryed!

[bbfan1991]

Roxy, Christian and Arthur Fowler's bench:joker:, Dot and Zainab's reactions were priceless.

Eddie and Tyler made me laugh fooling around and then there was Jean with her movements with the pumps at the bar:laugh:. Jean is totally lusting after Eddie but he wants Mrs never happy Carol Jackson.

Poor Fatboy:(. I liked Mercy and gutted she left.

Lola seems good so far, another typical gobby EE younger character and I was worried she would be a replica of the amazing Stacey but she's different.

Every single one of the Moon characters that have ever appeared in the show have been great.

The fatboy stuff was a little cringey at times D: I am liking all the new Moons though

Mandy Salter return storyline revealed...


WILD child Mandy Salter will make her EastEnders comeback in her underwear - as she returns as a STRIPPER.
Teenage runaway Mandy - Sam Mitchell's best friend - left Albert Square some 17 years ago.

But despite now being in her mid-30s, the former wild child has turned into even MORE of a bad girl, TV Biz can reveal.

Ian Beale discovers Mandy working in a lap dancing club.

The unlucky-in-love businessman - who will resort to kerb-crawling in a future storyline - is stunned to see Mandy gyrating around a pole.

Realising she is in trouble, he vows to help her get back on her feet.

Nicola Stapleton, who plays Mandy, has spent her first week of filming scantily clad.

A source said: "Nicola doesn't look like she has aged since she left. She looks amazing.

"She found it a bit strange to film her first scenes in underwear and bikinis but she joked that she might as well 'jump straight back in'."

Mandy left the soap in 1994 a few weeks after her boyfriend Aidan Brosnan, played by Sean Maguire, went back to Ireland.

Since then, actress Nicola, 36, has appeared in Bad Girls, The Bill and Casualty, as well as Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.

Announcing her return to Albert Square, an EastEnders spokesman said: "Mandy's grown up a bit but she's still fun, chaotic and wild - with a spiteful streak. She is a manipulative force of nature, so it's likely that she'll be causing trouble for at least one of Walford's residents."

Insiders say Mandy - whose exes include Ricky Butcher, who she bedded in a one-night stand - is set to get her nails into the men of the square.

Nicola has previously claimed that she has been asked to return several times before but never felt ready..

Sounds fun:D. Nicola is a fab actress too:).

Billy's girlfriend is such a poor actress.

I like the grand daughter though I hope she becomes a regular

Kim was epic tonight :joker:

And Lauren gets hotter every episode :amazed:

I enjoyed that episode, fun:D. Surprised me that EastEnders wasn't the doom and gloom show today and Corrie was a bit downbeat:shocked:.

[Kerry]

Kim is so funny :D

I love Lauren as a hot mess :lovedup:

That Jay and Abbey thing is getting a bit annoying now, back and forth all the time.

The Moons are the best thing in it at the moment

[Callum]

I hate Lola and the new Moons :sad:

[InOne]

Why the new Moons :shocked:

Lola is a bit meh and pointless as she seems to just lurk around the square and not spend much time at home

[Callum]

Why the new Moons :shocked:

Lola is a bit meh and pointless as she seems to just lurk around the square and not spend much time at home

Tyler is like a character you would see in Hollyoaks and I can't see his character developing much. The other one has only appeared in one episode so can't really judge yet but he doesn't seem up to much neither. At the moment they both seem to be just eye candy for the female viewers of EE. Apparently there's going to be a Downs Syndrone Moon brother too. Nice idea but I just feel there's too many Moons when families like the Beales are neglected.

The girl who plays Lola is a bad actress, read EE is her first acting job and you can definitely tell. There's just been way to many new characters lately. :(

[Kerry]

Sick of all these Moons now. How many more ffs!

[Locke.]

The Moon's are the best though. Can't be long left til Alfie is back either.

And I wonder if they'll ever bring back Spencer? (and maybe Jake... he obviously wasn't killed).

[Maia]

The Moons are taking over.

Aren't there any female Moons though? :tongue: Just seems to be all guys.

[Kerry]

The'd have to change Spencer. The last one was crap

[Kerry]

The Moons are taking over.

Aren't there any female Moons though? :tongue: Just seems to be all guys.

Just Kat by marriage :joker:

[Locke.]

Nana Moon :(

[Callum]

The Moons are taking over.

Aren't there any female Moons though? :tongue: Just seems to be all guys.

Tell me about it

Frankie Moon apparently arriving in Autumn, I'm sure I read weeks ago that she's Michael's ex wife or something like that.

[Kerry]

Nana Moon :(

Loved Nana :love:

[Jords]

I loved Spencer Moon, there were rumours he was going to be brought back then die of cancer but I dont think thats true...

Cant wait for the arrival of Frankie, need another woman Moon.

[Kerry]

Can't see them running two cancer storylines so closely

[Jords]

I forgot about Tanya :shocked:

[Kerry]

I forgot about Tanya :shocked:

Dropped a heavy hint in EE tonight that it's soon

[InOne]

Tyler is like a character you would see in Hollyoaks and I can't see his character developing much. The other one has only appeared in one episode so can't really judge yet but he doesn't seem up to much neither. At the moment they both seem to be just eye candy for the female viewers of EE. Apparently there's going to be a Downs Syndrone Moon brother too. Nice idea but I just feel there's too many Moons when families like the Beales are neglected.

To be fair, there isn't much left of the Beales lol

Most the families on the square seemed to be pretty much mismatched now. No nuclear family at all

[Callum]

To be fair, there isn't much left of the Beales lol

Most the families on the square seemed to be pretty much mismatched now. No nuclear family at all

Yeah but that's why they need to be worked on, the Beales/Fowlers were the original EE family and now there's only two members left. I wish they would recast Lucy and Peter instead of bringing in all these pointless new characters.

True, just trying to think of a stable family unit in EE but I can't think of one. Sad.

[Kerry]

Only a rumour I read but I thought the twins were coming back

[flamingGalah!]

Yes Peter & Lucy are returning before Christmas I heard...

Although there are loads of bloody Moon's they have nothing on all the Branning's!! :sleep:

[Redway]

Most people don't actually mind the Brannings.

[bbfan1991]

I can't stand Carol:bored:.

Aww poor Jean:(. Eddie's dark side is beginning to come out!

The two Moon lads are irritating and useless.

[Doogle]

The Moons are overrated. I hope they kill half off. Preferably the new ones

[bbfan1991]

Strangely i'm feeling sorry for Roxy and I like Phil but he has what happens coming to him deservedly but poor him having to put up with a certain difficult resident for business purposes:p.

Alfie and Kat back and I don't care anymore.

[bbfan1991]

The Moons are overrated. I hope they kill half off. Preferably the new ones

I like Eddie. Used to love Kat as a Slater but this return has made me go off her big time.

They need to use Big Mo more and bring back a few Slaters, loved that family:).

[bbfan1991]

www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2021192/Patsy-Palmer-displays-impressive-bikini-body-Spanish-holiday.html

Wow Patsy looks so good after her pregnancy:).

[InOne]

Will be interesting to see what Michael does. Jack is pretty pointless now Ronnie has gone as well

[Redway]

EastEnders has become awful these past few months.

I think it's time Jack goes. He's nothing without Ronnie.

[Callum]

Jack was alright during the Ronnie baby stuff but now she's gone, he just seems useless and he's gone back to his bad self.

[Redway]

Jack was alright during the Ronnie baby stuff but now she's gone, he just seems useless and he's gone back to his bad self.

2007 and 2009 saw Jack at his peak. He serves no purpose now. He and the Moons should just vamoosh.

[Redway]

2007...when EastEnders was REALLY good. 2009...all right (ish) year for EE, but only picked up during the second half, tbh.

[InOne]

At least the Moons are better than the Masoods, all doom and gloom there.

[Kerry]

Where's Janine getting all this money? It hasn't come through from her Nan yet nor did she know how much it was for. Nobody gives loans for this amount of cash!!

[Kerry]

At least the Moons are better than the Masoods, all doom and gloom there.

I'm a bit sick of all the 'we get on, now we don't. Now we do. Now we don't'

[Redway]

At least the Moons are better than the Masoods, all doom and gloom there.

I don't agree. The Masoods are one of the only reasons I'm still watching (at least until the awful BK is gone).

[Lewis.]

I wish the Slaters were back :love: loved Zoe!

[InOne]

I wish BK was gone.

Oh really? You never said...

[Kerry]

Oh really? You never said...

:joker:

[Lewis.]

BK hasn't really done the best job with the soap. Recently it's been very boring and samey, not like it used to be :(

[bbfan1991]

www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2/eastenders/scoop/a332920/eastenders-vanessa-to-become-embroiled-in-moon-revenge-plot.html

What a waste with Vanessa's character by BK, typical that she suddenly becomes interesting before she departs:bored:.

[bbfan1991]

EastEnders has gone through a bad patch for a while now but I have faith it will come good again at some point, there has been bits i've enjoyed and some i've not e.g. Tanya, plus the Moons being shoved in your face at every opportunity...

[Firewire]

I think the Tanya storyline should be good. EastEnders really need a good storyline. At the moment there are so many underused characters.

[bbfan1991]

I think the Tanya storyline should be good. EastEnders really need a good storyline. At the moment there are so many underused characters.

It should but I think they're only doing it because Tanya was becoming more disliked, so they need to make her likeable again and it takes more attention off the zzzz the audience is experiencing of her affair with Max;).

Kim should be given a storyline!

[InOne]

Wonder what they will do with Fatboy now. And when is the Whitney thing coming back :suspect:

[Kate!]

Kim is definitely underused, she is hilarious. Think they could make Poppy and Jodie into something really good, there's great potential there. Overkill with the Moons at the moment.

The Rob/Whitney storyline is concluding soon, over the next couple of weeks I think, and that will be Ryan Malloy's exit as well :(

[InOne]

Jodie is hardly used much now, same with Darren. Sort of liked that gang they had going.

Affia is turning into a real bitch now though :/ She's annoying the way she goes all high pitched with emotional scenes

[Doogle]

The Moons are so ****ing boring.

I miss 2010 Enders. I cant even remember what happened last summer but it was better

[Redway]

The Moons are so ****ing boring.

I miss 2010 Enders. I cant even remember what happened last summer but it was better

Much better. We had the Lucas/Denise stuff, Bianca/Carol/Bille/Lewis, Peggy/Phil/Louise, Heather/Shirley/Phil. Remember Phil's drug addiction? That was good.

[Redway]

Anyway, discuss here:

Do you want Vanessa to stay or leave?

Try not to get it closed this time. Can't be arsed putting up immature fights with silly members on here.

[Kerry]

Jodie made me laugh today. When she was ogling that Moon bloke (God knows what they're all called) then turned to Darren "Ugh, it was horrible" :joker:

[bbfan1991]

I miss Stacey and Peggy still:(.

[Kerry]

I do miss Stacey. I'd have loved to see what she was like with Lily

[bbfan1991]

I think Jodie and Poppy despite the dizzyness are some light hearted relief:D.

Big Mo should have a storyline!

[Kerry]

I think Jodie and Poppy despite the dizzyness are some light hearted relief:D.

Nice after the doom and gloom we've had for months. Well, just before more gloom :joker:

[Redway]

Exactly. The characters in EastEnders now aren't a patch on some of the great characters. Jodie, Poppy and the Moon brothers are nothing compared to Stacey, Chrissie and Sharon.

Anyway, I, too, wish Stacey was back. I think Jean might as well go, seeing as the rest of the Slater clan has gone.

[Callum]

Poppy is such a pointless character, she's like the clone of Jodie, who ironically seems like the clone of Billy Mitchell's ex wife Honey. I actually liked Honey though, why couldn't she stay instead of these two bimbos?!

[InOne]

Honey was so pretty :love:

[Redway]

Honey was so pretty :love:

Not as good as Chelsea! ;)

Her age considered, she was all right.

[InOne]

I actually find Roxy quite fit.

And good to have a break from the Moons even though I do like them. (The new ones)

[Jords]

Lola is the only character keeping me excited at the moment!

[Redway]

I actually find Roxy quite fit.

And good to have a break from the Moons even though I do like them. (The new ones)

You think Roxy's fit? I still think Chelsea was better. Lola isn't too bad, either, but I can't STAND the character.

[Redway]

Lola is the only character keeping me excited at the moment!

For me, it's the Masoods. :)

[InOne]

Next few weeks will be dominated by Max and Tanya

[Callum]

Next few weeks will be dominated by Max and Tanya

Yep, someone finds them out tonight and think the big reveal is on Friday!

Vanessa exploding with rage when all is revealed:

http://i1.cdnds.net/11/31/550w_eastenders_vanessas_meltdown_1.jpg

[InOne]

I'm not really liking this Billy/Lola thing at the moment. Seems to be a bit all over the place

[bbfan1991]

Tanya is a hypocrite, so glad Stacey had the affair with Max now:evilgrin:. Jack is right when Vanessa reveals the truth about T & M that T is no better than Stacey.

I will like Vanessa's revenge:D.

Agreed about Lola Joe, she's made an impact and is meant to be dislikeable for now but they'll tone it down. At least Billy is getting more screentime but Perry Fenwick is really underrated in the show.

Patrick and Denise need more screentime/storylines.

Once this Yusef plot is over I hope they use Zainab in more lighter storylines because even though it's great to see Nina Wadia at the front of the show she's an amazing comedy actress and I find her funny than most of the Corrie cast, even though she can't be happy on EastEnders:p.

[InOne]

Tonights ep was so random and all over the place :/

[bbfan1991]

Tonights ep was so random and all over the place :/

I enjoyed it, was quite fun:blush:. Felt sorry for Jean though:(.

Delighted that Tanya and Max got caught!

[Kerry]

Tonights ep was so random and all over the place :/

I just came to say the very same thing. It was surreal :conf:

[Maia]

Tonights ep was so random and all over the place :/

It was, I could barely keep up with it. I got bored after 5 minutes.

[Kerry]

Sounds morbid I know but I wonder how far they're going to go with Tanya's storyline. Death? Chemo and loss of hair? Just the removal of the cells and she'll be cured/safer?

I mean, I know with pre-cancerous cells all they do is remove them and then keep testing you (I won't go into it) so my guess is thats what's going to happen to her

[Marsh.]

It's probably a last ditch attempt at trying to make Tanya forgivable because she's been a disgusting bitch since the actress came back last year.

But then I read the actress has been doing loads of research so they'll most likely go deeper than her simply having the cells removed.

[Kerry]

Feel sorry for Gregg. I mean, what on earth do you do if you find out your wife could be seriously ill but has been having an affair throughout their marriage? Talk about rock and hard place

[Jords]

Rainie and Lauren are the only decent Brannings, the rest are so annoying these days.

Need more Jay/Lola interactions!

[Kerry]

I don't get when Rainie turned to God. Or is it an act? I must have seriously missed something.....

[Jords]

She went and spoke with ol Dot :laugh:

[Kerry]

She went and spoke with ol Dot :laugh:

Oh dear Lord (no pun intended)

[InOne]

I always think, does anyone on EE have a conscience :joker:

Just Dot. She thought she'd sinned by letting another man touch her hand bless her :laugh:

[Callum]

Darren Miller's exit

He leaves after getting drunk and having a one night stand with Lauren Branning

[bbfan1991]

Tanya has my sympathy on the Cancer front but are the writers expecting us to forgive her on the affair front and condone it?:bored:.

It's good that EE have chosen an important issue to highlight and can help people but I suspect they're doing it to regain popularity for Tanya because she's lost it over the last few years;).

[Callum]

Yeah I agree, it's clearly been done because Tanya has lost a lot of support after this affair. She seems to be at the forefront of the show all the time recently, it would have been nice to have given a different character this storyline instead but I know that Jo Joyner will do a great job of it.

Darren Miller's exit

Well that's surprising. I heard that Jodie sleeps with Tyler Moon and he catches them, dumps her and then goes off to stay with Mickey.
Either way he's been pretty pointless for a while, they should have just let him leave with Libby.

[InOne]

What happened to Heather?

[Kate!]

Yep, someone finds them out tonight and think the big reveal is on Friday!

Vanessa exploding with rage when all is revealed:

http://i1.cdnds.net/11/31/550w_eastenders_vanessas_meltdown_1.jpg

Lmao at Jack's facial expression here. Glad Vanessa blew her lid, she has been treated terribly. She may lose any audience sympathy though by teaming up with Michael Moon.

[flamingGalah!]

What happened to Heather?

Eaten herself to death hopefully...

[Callum]

Heather's going to feature heavily again soon when a lot of the characters go down South on location.

Looking forward to tonight's episode now I'm fully caught up again, Jo Joyner and Jake Wood have been brilliant with this storyline.

[Callum]

Tonight's episode (12/08/11):

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/252001_10150266354281561_310866721560_8126501_4243 386_n.jpg

After recieving startling news, Tanya resolves to make her decision and goes to meet Max. But who will she choose, Max or Greg? Meanwhile, Vanessa makes a shock discover.

[InOne]

One thing I didn't get, how did Lauren and Abbey get over to the other house when Vanessa first went of, didn't show them entering or anything did it? :S

[Marsh.]

Can't believe they've axed Zoe Lucker. And it's Brian Kirkwood's own character too.
She's brilliant when they actually give her things to do other than sit and watch TV. Little OTT but still great.

That bloke off Dancing on Ice was shocking though. Is he gone for good?

Lauren and Abi chucking Max out of his own house was quite bizarre too.

[Callum]

Yes, Greg has gone for good, never liked him personally, he was too wooden. :D I'm pleased Cora and Rainie are staying though, both have grown on me in the past couple of weeks. I was initially unsure of them bringing in Tanya's family but I think it's paid off, I'm a fan.

looking forward to seeing Zoe Lucker come to the forefront of the show next week, her character has been so underused.

[flamingGalah!]

So Greg doesn't come back?! That's a bit ridiculous, considering its his bloody house! And what about all his belongings, clothes etc..?? And his business...

The sooner Eastenders gets a new producer the better, it is farcical...

[flamingGalah!]

...

[Callum]

So Greg doesn't come back?! That's a bit ridiculous, considering its his bloody house! And what about all his belongings, clothes etc..?? And his business...

The house is sold to Janine and Tanya moves into Max's house. I think they want us to believe all of the other stuff happened off screen.

[Marsh.]

LOl, what a crap exit.

[bbfan1991]

Greg was just a plot device for the producers to get Tanya and Max to get back together, they're meant to be the new Den and Angie according to them:sleep:.

Greg is a nice person but in Walford they always come off last. I feel for Vanessa too. Tanya is such a hypocrite, stuck up caah:joker:.

[Callum]

Next week

http://www.walfordweb.co.uk/ww/sites/default/files/pt-zoe-lucker-317590.jpg

Vanessa takes center stage as she lashes out following Friday's revelations

[flamingGalah!]

The house is sold to Janine and Tanya moves into Max's house. I think they want us to believe all of the other stuff happened off screen.

How stupid! Such lazy writing & taking the viewers for complete mugs... :sleep:

Even Tanya having an affair with Max in the first place was absolutely pathetic, I mean as if she would in real life, after everything?! But to have Greg bugger off within minutes of finding out & then never returning etc.. is just, well words fail me actually...

[InOne]

I might be drunk but I swear I saw an advert with Rob and Whitney on TV and Michael giving Vanessa money telling her to breaks someones hearts

[Callum]

I might be drunk but I swear I saw an advert with Rob and Whitney on TV and Michael giving Vanessa money telling her to breaks someones hearts

yeah it's a new promo advert they are using for next week's episodes.

[InOne]

So are we getting Tanya in the limelight over Whitney's story? Looks like that way from the mags, would've thought it would be quite big seen as it was on comic relief or whatever

Bore of Max and Tanya now :bored:

[Patrick]

Oh Come On!

We've only had a few weeks of Max and Tanya, and you're all bored?

Would you rather of had the ******ing Masoods being centre of the show for 4 Months again? FFS.

[Patrick]

Oh Come On!

[Locke.]

Fridays episode was a 10/10.

Next few weeks should be good with Jody Lathan coming back aswell.

Hopefully Alfie has some good stuff coming up too

[Callum]

I never mind when Max and Tanya are at the forefront because both are played by great actors and they never disappoint. The big Southend week is next week, looking forward to that, lots of different characters going on location.


Tonight's episode (15/08/11):

Jack and Carol are forced to take drastic ation following last week's revelations. Meanwhile, Abi is thrown into a panic when she discovers Tanya has been missing all night.

[Locke.]

Abi does my head in, such an annoying face

[InOne]

Well it better be good or I'm blaming you all :nono:

[Callum]

Vanessa :joker:

[Tom4784]

I can't remember the last time I've laughed so much at Eastenders, they shouldn't get rid of Zoe Lucker, they should just have her freak out every week about something trivial for comical effect.

[Callum]

I have to admit her acting was especially bad tonight, I cringed a lot and the final few scenes were laughable. I couldn't understand half of what she was saying either.

[Tom4784]

I only heard 'i'll kill you all' which just made me cackle.

[Kerry]

That was so funny

[Firewire]

The funniest thing was Janine tbh.

[Lewis.]

Very funny episode tonight - not for all the right reasons either!

[seanraff07]

I couldn't help but piss myself with laughter when Vanessa lost it, I felt a bit sorry for Greig about the whole affair but not Vanessa, I just have no sympathy for her :laugh:

[Kerry]

Loved how Carol slated Vanessa's hair :joker:

[InOne]

God she was so cringey tonight :joker:

Carol is a proper bitch though :bored:

[bbfan1991]

Vanessa's breakdown was hilarious:laugh:. I felt really sorry for her. Carol is vile, out of order to Vanessa but she's always been miserable, judging others and hypocritical.

Max and Tanya are hideous too, sick and tired of the pair of them together:sleep:. I really like the character of Abi, she's coming into her own now. I actually prefer her to Lauren. Rainie and Cora are fab too!

I'm enjoying Michael. Shirley and Heather made me smile.

[InOne]

I take it Eddie looking over her at the end of the ep means he's pretty much done with Carol? And that is where the Vanessa thing comes in

[Jords]

Vanessa should have given Carol a slap, cant stand the miserable cow :D

[bbfan1991]

Vanessa should have given Carol a slap, cant stand the miserable cow :D

Yes. I'm just catching up on Friday's episode (social commitments took over:D). Tanya got what was coming to her with that slap!:devil:

:laugh2:

[bbfan1991]

On a serious note Zoe Lucker is a good actress and it's a shame for the past year they've wasted her character and Vanessa is coming into her own before she departs.

I hope the producers realise what a mistake they have made by axing her and bring her back, new fresh characters are needed to carry the show amongst the familiar faces...

[Marsh.]

I don't think Zoe Lucker's a bad actress. I think she showed in the scene in the flat that she can be a good actress when she's not going OTT but she did it so well on Footballer's Wives you have to appreciate it when she does flip out. lol

The shot of her stabbing that photo frame with whatever it was and her hair flying everywhere was like something out of a horror film.

[Kerry]

When she went for Jack you could see he was actually really stunned and not acting. She was wild :laugh:

[bbfan1991]

Footballer's Wives was such a camp show. OTT it was in every sense so that style suited her character.

Vanessa was great showing just how gutting it is to be made a fool of and treated like dirt.

Tanya is supposed to have Cancer and she has my sympathy with that but she's a horrid character.

[Marsh.]

When she went for Jack you could see he was actually really stunned and not acting. She was wild :laugh:

His best performance since he joined the show. :joker:

Ha true :joker:

I think Scott Maslen is a good actor:). I met him on Friday, such a nice bloke!

For years, from when he was on The Bill I've had to suffer the comments from my mother every time he's onscreen. She's besotted with him.

And they can't be calling Vanessa crazy, Tanya's reaction was to bury Max alive.

[Callum]

"I'm gunna kill you all!!!! Argh!!!!" :laugh2:

[Firewire]

omg last night's eastenders was amazing

[Callum]

EastEnders' Vanessa Gold will face fresh heartache later this month when her estranged husband Harry puts her in another awkward situation.

Harry - played by Linal Haft - hasn't been on screen since late 2010, but we see him again briefly at the end of August as Vanessa swallows her pride and makes contact with him.

After losing Max's financial support when he dumped her, Vanessa (Zöe Lucker) gets in touch with Harry because she needs his help to raise funds for Jodie's wedding, according to a report in All About Soap.

Harry later sits down for a meal with Vanessa, Jodie and Darren - but it's not long before he shows his true colours once again, declaring that he'll only pay for the wedding if Vanessa doesn't turn up for the ceremony…

It's clear that Harry still wants to punish Vanessa for leaving him, but will she agree to respect his wishes? Will Jodie and Darren have to scale back their wedding plans? Or could Vanessa become further embroiled in Michael Moon's schemes to make the money she needs?

EastEnders airs Harry's ultimatum on Tuesday, August 30 at 7.30pm on BBC One.

I'm glad Vanessa is getting more screentime but it's a pity they're giving her lots to do just as she's about to leave.

[Locke.]

I ****ing hate Carole you know. I really want someone to hurt her. Was dying for her to go falling down those door steps last night

[bbfan1991]

Kat & Jack - Goodbye, Alfie! Hello, Jack?

Spoiler
Janine seduces Michael!

Spoiler
Who is Lola's secret mum? Mandy Salter is my guess;).
Is it someone rather close to home?

[flamingGalah!]

Can't believe how out of order they were to Vanessa :nono:

Carol especially, nasty *********g bitch! :nono:

Where is the first spoiler from bbfan1991?

They were all from All About Soap.

If it turns out to be true, I'll stop watching. No way can

Jack and Kat get together. Would be awful

[Joelle.]

I dont really watch Eastenders but happened to be in the room when this happened and couldnt control myself :laugh:

[Jords]

Kat and Jack? Piss off! I hate Jack's character so much they wasted a good actor.

:laugh3: at Vanessa
Once she leaves I hope she returns for revenge at some point :devil:

[Callum]

Kat's character has been truly ruined, the miscarriage storyline starts the week after next. Nothing but misery for this character since she returned, and to think she used to be the life of the party when the Slater clan were around.

[Joelle.]

Maybe Vanessa will get a 'Mad Maya' type storyline? :joker:

[Callum]

need to watch over and over so hilarious

bubbly's in the fridge rararaaaarrrrrrhhh

FiKk1nYUi4I

I think "bubbly's in the fridge" has become an iconic line from EE now :laugh:

Was good to see Vanessa's mad barnet calmed down with water tonight :laugh:

Loving the new thread title :laugh:

Looking forward to watching Michael terrorize everyone again

And how amazing is single Ian :worship:
