The ronnie story is becoming boring now

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:

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 :(

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:

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

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

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:.

they should do a Corrie one of them!

The best exits thing brought back some memories!

Classic EastEnders drama, why I prefer this show over Coronation Street anyday:p.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Shabnam was awesome:D:love:.

Can't remember her

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

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:

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.

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!
