It's good there doing realistic stuff like that, but they've over done it. Wouldn't mind it if other things weee happening.

It's not just been about bins though

It's a soap and it's supposed to reflect real life

Bins reflect real life!

Tonight's episode was entertaining in a number of ways... Did you watch it?

Yeah I know it's meant to reflect real life but there's a barrier.

The balance isn't right imo.

I mean noting seems to be going anywhere, Lee is still in it in the new year as he's still filming.

There's like 9 weeks until the new year when it looks like it picks up a bit.

There's no big drama but we're leading to it. Jay's stealing, Lee's depression, Dot's sight, Phil's liver and Denise's baby are all going to big stories with climactic endings.

We've got Masood, Linda, Babe, Ronnie, Roxy and Kyle all leaving, some of them will be under dramatic circumstances.

There's Max's return (and Cora's), too.

We can't just throw in a huge story when there's no drama there. It's a natural setting. Kim's driving, the bins, the market, Belinda's money troubles, Bex being in love for the first time and trying to avoid what her mum and dad did, Jack and Ricky being in the Scouts, Dot losing her job and Jane's disability among others are stories present just now.

How can we just throw in a huge dramatic stunt when it isn't required or necessary?

Christmas and New Year are so close and the drama will return. But the drama becomes tiring. I was drained for a lot of Dominic's run. It's nice to have a show that's easy to watch, with (mostly) likeable characters and watching them grow without death or cancer or domestic violence or whatever else you want to see.

We've had some incredibly powerful episodes, some of the best in years, recently.

I can see why you think it's boring, but you don't watch for the same reasons I do.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to Max and Cora returning but all the storylines seem a long way away from concluding.

Kim learning to drive has been hilarious and probably my fave storyline atm, and I hope we see more. I find that Kim is definitely one of the strongest characters on the show, one of the best imo.

I completely agree about the drama being very OTT in Dominics era, I enjoyed the calmness and realness the show had in the new producers first couple of weeks, it felt fresh and it was enjoyable.

However I really wanted something big to happen last week and this week, I don't mind 2 weeks of it be quiet but 4 weeks+ is a bit of drag imo.

I don't have any hopes for Christmas being good, New Year sounds great. The beginning on 2016 was brilliant.

I forgot to say about the BIB, it doesn't make sense because I didn't mention Lee's exit previously

We don't know what's happening at Christmas yet

[Will.]

The actor that plays Jay said X Mas will be very different and low-key.

Like it will be all happy and no drama.

But idk, maybe it will be good.

This is probably really stupid but what's BIB?

He said it would be lowkey but didn't say it would be happy

But I would take that with a pinch of salt as it's bound to have some sort of drama

Bit in bold

[Firewire]

I'm using drama loosely because all of it is drama regardless of its impact

Oh okay, sorry my brain isn't working very well!

Hmm I hope so, it would be nice to have a big Christmas episode again, New Year has been the better special over the last couple of years.

I'm intrigued to see when the Jane disability storyline will end. Forgot to say I've really enjoyed the Jane storyline, it's been really good.

[Will.]

Max will all already be out of jail now? As he went in around September 2015 for a 12 month sentence?

[Firewire]

He was released when Bobby was convicted. He was seen briefly in a taxi after he put a letter through Lauren's door.

[Black Dagger]

Can William Waterhog just LEAVE.

[Firewire]

Oh and Will

4 weeks of "no drama" is nothing

There was no drama for pretty much the first three or four years

[Firewire]

Which you should watch some episodes of

Or maybe not as you might find it boring

[Firewire]

And speaking of lowkey Christmas

Divorce papers. 30 million viewers.

[reece(:]

The best Xmas was when Bianca and Nikki had a food fight

[Ashley.]

I watched EastEnders whilst drunk last night and now I can't remember what happened. Was there a wedding?

[Firewire]

Yes

[Ashley.]

Jesus Christ I made a GIF apparently.

There is so much tea everywhere @ Jonathan's posts
