Last night (Tuesday)'s episode was very "all over the place", ranging from very good (the scenes with Ben, Phil and Shirley) to absolutely abysmal and pointless (I mean, what was all that nonsense with Ray and Bianca about?). Bar this Heather stuff, which is holding some interest (enough to keep me watching), nothing's happening, although, to be fair, at least there's something going on.

The Bianca/Ray thing in Tuesday's ep was important, cos its showing how Bianca is struggling lately,

Spoiler:

so a build up is necessary and I know this is just food but she's having financial problems too so it's all fitting with the upcoming storyline.

There's more about it here.

Should still be clearer, though. I spent an entire epidode trying to work out what those scenes were about, but thanks for pointing that out, Salman.

Poor Billy. Are we supposed to believe that Jay would let him take the rap though?

Shirley looked funny yesterday too, glad she finally found out that Andrew is innocent.

Roxy is hot!

To be fair, Santer was the king of all that. He's the one who introduced the E20 crew, chav crew, made E20 and gave us that awful period after the live episode where the teenagers/young adults ruled the square.

EastEnders bad boy Derek Branning is in for a shock as his long-lost daughter Alice will soon be arriving in Walford.

Jasmyn Banks has been cast in the role of Alice, who turns up on Albert Square desperately searching for answers from the father she has never met.

Alice has been brought up by her overprotective mum and older brother Joey, who has always spoken ill of their estranged father.

When she heads to Walford, Alice wants to find out the truth about her dad for herself. Ever the optimist, nice girl Alice is eager and excited to meet Derek (Jamie Foreman) - but whether she'll be pleased by what she finds remains to be seen.

Pictured: Jasmyn Banks as Alice Branning

As Alice has led a sheltered life, viewers will also be left to wonder how she'll fit in with the rest of the Brannings and the drama which surrounds the family.

Banks commented: "I've been a fan of EastEnders forever and am thrilled to be cast as a Branning. It's such a privilege to be working alongside Jamie and I can't wait to find out what's in store for Alice."

EastEnders' executive producer Lorraine Newman added: "Jasmyn's a great actress and we are delighted to have her join the cast as Alice Branning.

"Alice will help us glimpse a softer side to Derek and, being part of the Branning clan, there's a huge amount of history for the pair to draw upon which gives us great potential for the future."

EastEnders fans will see Alice's first scenes next month.

It's not a new thing, though. For me, the last time EastEnders was any good for any significant period of time was probably 2007 (Ian Beale's stalker, Queen Vic Raid, Stacey and Max, Patrick's attack, Stephen's return and shooting of Jane, Stella/Ben/Phil, Dawn/Mad May/Rob, Mitchell Sisters arriving, Lucy/Craig, Brighton Week, Cindy, all held together by pitch-perfect pacing and plot development). As you can see, there was loads going on. Since then, it's been very average at best, with a few half-decent periods since then (late 2009/early 2010, summer/September 2010, maybe the first three weeks of 2011). I agree, though, that Kirkwood's period has very easily been the worst, but at least he tried. He's only human.
