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

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.

News just broken on DS:



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.

[Jords]

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.

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

[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?.

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.

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.

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

[Kerry]

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

Seems ages since I last saw it

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

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.

[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.
