I felt well sorry for Bianca tonight!

[Callum]

Me too Mark. I'm glad she didn't stoop to that man's level though. That's the end of Janine then I hope it's for not good, I somehow doubt it's not thought, as I know she's made interest that she'd like to return. I loved it tonight, it was really good. It's been such a great week in EE, al this week's episodes have been fantastic. Glad Pat's not going to Spain either.

[podge2007]

I really enjoyed this week's episodes. The return of Bianca, Ricky, Diane and Janine was brilliant and the episode of Frank's funeral and Pat's flashbacks was one of the best in ages.

Does anyone else think Whitney looks like a younger version of Zoe Slater? I'm half expecting her to say "But I'm nearly seventeen" like Zoe did when she first came into EE.

[Callum]

I've never really noticed that, but now that you've said it, i do think she looks similar to zoe, i can see whitney becoming a real good character.

[Spike]

Great week of EastEnders, its easily the best soap. I felt sorry for Bianca and her kids tonight, I just wish Janine was more of a bitch for her return.

[supernoodles!]

aww i thought it was so sad tonight when janine was crying then pat started crying,i got a lump in my throat

[Callum]

Aw I know that was real sad, if they added music to that bit, I would have been in tears. Music always gets me.

[dbh-g]

Has Bianca always been this sh!t at acting?!! I cant remember her from the first time round as i was only ickle but she is really wooden at the moment. The actress whos plays Whitney really puts her to shame.

[Dan_]

She seems to have gone slightly downhill from how she was last time, perhaps she just needs a bit of time to get back into the role.

I must say Ricky has improved since he was last in the show.

[supernoodles!]

tbh there were certain points and only a few mind where i thought the exact same thing about Bianca

[supernoodles!]

oh and yes i agree Ricky,VERY good acting.

WEYMOUTH will be awash with stars when one of the nation's favourite soap operas comes to town next week.

After news this week that a new film will be made in Portland Harbour, the BBC has announced that EastEnders will arrive here on Monday.

Weymouth and Portland Borough Council communications manager Jacqui Gisborne is delighted that the television audience, which reaches 10 million, will get to see the town.

She said: "Having so many people seeing Weymouth on television will be great and we look forward to welcoming those viewers here to experience the delights of the town themselves.

"The locations are so clearly recognisable so it should be a very good showcase for Weymouth.

"It's fantastic for the town to have this kind of profile and to be associated with such an iconic programme."

The four stars who will be filming scenes are Barbara Windsor, Samantha Janus, Rita Simons and Robert Kazinsky. The four characters they play in the programme are Peggy, Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell and Sean Slater.

The television crews will be filming scenes at the beach, the Esplanade and the harbour during the day and night.

A large carousel will be erected on the beach close to the swing boats in preparation for filming.

Seafront operations manager Kevin Good said his beach control team is looking forward to filming as they will be involved.

He said: "It's going to be an exciting week for everybody."

"The staff have been asked to assist with the filming by undertaking their normal duties outside normal hours on the request of the BBC and the EastEnders crew."

Steve Stokes, the owner of Five Star Beach rides on Weymouth Beach, is bringing his original wooden carousel from Exeter for the filming.

He said: "It's going to be very different from our usual days but we can adapt as long as it doesn't snow."

This visit to Dorset comes after the EastEnders crew filmed scenes for the show in Worth Matravers and Kimmeridge in 2006.

Apart from the help of beach control staff there are no planned opportunities for local people to act as extras during filming.

Yay, I love it when we see EE abroad.

BBC bosses asked Mike Reid's widow to approve the tear-jerking funeral of his EastEnders character before it was screened.

The Beeb gave grieving Shirley, 69, a preview of Tuesday's emotional episode - which included some of Frank Butcher's finest moments - as they were worried about upsetting her.

Shirley, mum of their two sons, is still recovering from Mike's death in July at his home in Marbella.

Family friend Bill Reilly said: "She wasn't struck on the idea at first but changed her mind once she'd seen the preview - and was happy for it to run.

"It obviously brought back painful memories and could have been extremely upsetting if it had been handled badly.

"But she thought the BBC approached it in a very dignified way and the end result was a touching tribute to Mike.

"She even managed a laugh over the flashback of Frank turning up on Pat Butcher's doorstep naked apart from a bow tie."

Another friend added: "Shirley felt touched the BBC had taken the trouble to ask for her opinion."

Callum, are you as bad as jade goody at geography?! Dorset, abroad?

WATCH OUT RICKAAAY!

Bianca Jackson is back. A woman who makes Vicky Pollard seem like Mary Poppins.

"Never trust a ginger or brunette, it's a well-known fact." The Apprentice's Jenny is perfect proof of that.

Despite nine years' absence, many more men and nearly as many kids, Bianca doesn't seem to have aged at all.

Still wearing the same silver puffa and pink tracksuit that clashes beautifully with her hair, Bianca has returned.

The much-hyped comeback has brought more controversy than Harriet Harman in a stab proof jacket, and quite rightly.

The trailers have been well planned and it's fair to say EastEnders is back on top, making Corrie seem duller than a date with Roy Cropper.

EASTENDERS’ Roxy Mitchell is in for the mother of all shocks — after she gets knocked up and is left asking: “Who’s the daddy?”

Randy Roxy (Rita Simons) is already frolicking with Albert Square bad boy Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky).

And she will move on to an even less savoury character — sister Ronnie’s on/off fella Jack Branning (Scott Maslen).

She and Jack start flirting after a boozy night and end up taking things a step too far.

After the tryst the pair are mortified and vow never to tell their guilty secret.

Betrayal
Then Roxy realises she’s up the duff — and either fella could be the father.

An insider on the BBC1 soap said: “Viewers will be shocked when Roxy jumps into bed with Jack. It’s the ultimate betrayal.

“Ronnie would be furious with both of them if she found out. They try to keep it a secret by pretending it never happened because Sean will also go ballistic.

“But once Roxy realises there’s a baby on the way her secret starts to prove very difficult to keep.”

The dramatic scenes kick off in a fortnight.
