minty is good but he will do the right thing as his hart is in the right place.

Re: Eastenders
 

I thought Minty had a cheek to try to get back with Heather. And good old Heather for turning him down, well done girl!

Re: Eastenders
 

is that minty gone now?

Re: Eastenders
 

Didn't expect this

Re: Eastenders
 

I think so.

Re: Eastenders
 

I didn't neither. Quite shocking really and I liked Billie. Awful though and it has been hard watching this week because of that.

Looks like Tanya is getting rather jealous of Vanessa.

Re: Eastenders
 

very said episode Monday was.

Re: Eastenders
 

Gob smacked i was, i kept saying "oh they got it wrong, he'll wake up and scare them" totally unexpected.

Im interested to hear what Billys secret is!

Re: Eastenders

Re: Eastenders
 

It be something to do in care

Re: Eastenders
 

New face of Ben after he is released from prison.

Re: Eastenders
 

Yep back next week or week after

Re: Eastenders
 

Now we know why Ben was crying so much in court, he must've known they were going to recast for his release :D

Re: Eastenders
 

this Ben is ment to be dead different no more music or dancing

Re: Eastenders
 

That's nothing to do with the new actor, that will be due to the character having been in prison.

Re: Eastenders
 

Carol is getting annoying.

Re: Eastenders
 

whats the house that Phil brought?

Re: Eastenders
 

Brought? :scratch: :shrug: :D:D:D

Apparently Phil has bought a house, which has miraculously appeared from nowhere, on Albert Square. I know it's a soap but sometimes the story lines bear no resemblance to reality. Phil and Shirley stole 20K from Roxy, but 5K has gone missing and Shirley and Phil have been on a spending spree for furniture, so not a lot left for a deposit. Nobody in the square has a washing machine, and everyone seems to have loads of power cuts, because they are always eating in the cafe across the road. Furthermore how could Roxy have gone through all these millions without having a clue she had nothing left?, unbelievable! What was her accountant doing? :shrug:

Re: Eastenders
 

Phil bought the house that Mark Fowler used to own and Ian Beale owned it till last year. Its not been used for a while.

This link should help you find out who lives where :)

Re: Eastenders
 

Thank you for that Stephen, very helpful to know where what is? Where on the map is the flat that Ian sold? I seem to remember seeing a recent shot of a building next to the Queen Vic which had scaffolding on it. :dozey:

Re: Eastenders
 

The house with the scaffolding is where Ian lives now and used to be Pauline Fowlers house number 45.

The house Phil just bought is in the corner next to where Pat and Bianca live number 55.

Re: Eastenders
 

I wonder what Janine will do now she knows about Stacey and Ryan.

Getting a bit stale lately this, needs more drama.

Re: Eastenders
 

can not wait to see what happeneds

Re: Eastenders
 

don't like the new Ben wish they kept the other actor in.

Re: Eastenders
 

I didn't like him at first but I think he is growing on me. Hasn't he got scary eyes? :erm:

Re: Eastenders
 

just watched tonights 'enders with my wife and thought it is a terrible story line to have at this time of year ,i know it's meant to be true to life and all that but is there really any need in a entertainment show

Re: Eastenders
 

The soaps are always competing for the most outragious storyline this time of year.It gets the viewers and thats all that matter to them.

Re: Eastenders
 

That is true but i think eastenders have crossed the line with story ,i think it will upset a few people who have had similar experience

Re: Eastenders
 

I dont disagree but lets face it everyone has suffered loss of some kind and are going to be vunerable to storylines on tv shows.

One thing I have noticed in my short life is Life goes on and it pays no respect to individual circumstances.

Re: Eastenders
 

again very true ,but it's supposed to be entertainment .

just felt like a bit of a rant over a very depressing form of entertainment;)

Re: Eastenders
 

i feel so sorry for ronnie why can see never have a baby

Re: Eastenders
 

erm.....That would be because it's a depressing soap and it's in the script that she will never be happy and die a miserable lonely old spinster

---------- Post added at 01:39 ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 ----------

any way it looks like she's going to nick alfies baby and put her dead one in it's place so she's going to be alright

Re: Eastenders
 

there will be a blood group mismatch at the autopsy which will bring it all to light or something

Re: Eastenders
 

yer i have heard thats what happenes.

I just dunno how anybody would go and swap baby's.

Re: Eastenders
 

so what your saying is because of the blood mismatch ronnies hubby will think she's playing around with alfie and top himself ,ronnie racked with guilt confesses everything and sets fir to the vick while shouting

I JUST WANT A BABY !!!!!!....

Re: Eastenders
 

lol something like that lol

---------- Post added at 02:01 ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 ----------

to bring a bit of reality to the fiction grief can make people act in strange ways. The sheer enormaity of the emotion a parent would feel in that situation could easily break the weaker mind leading to virtually insanity

Re: Eastenders
 

My step mum is saying the same thing "how could anyone do that" when you go through something like that your body and mind will obviously go crazy, Ronnie knew she did wrong and was about to take the baby back, i feel sorry for her, people seem to have forgotten Ronnie lost the baby and she deserve a bit of sympathy.

Thank god soaps aint real lol.

Re: Eastenders
 

I think this is a very unpleasant, and tacky story line

Re: Eastenders
 

Yep me 2 its a very upsetting story line

Re: Eastenders
 

Why are we not hearing any more about Ronnie and the snatched baby? Surely it's time to bring this particularly heartbreaking saga to an end, and have the long awaited reunion of baby Tommy with his rightful parents.

Re: Eastenders
 

Well, they film 6-8 weeks in advance, so unless they planned the whole thing (including all the fuss and and the apparent backdown on behalf of the BBC), the earliest they could end it would be middle of February/beginning of March.

Re: Eastenders
 

Blimey the little babe will be nearly walking by that time. :D

Re: Eastenders
 

When oh when is Ronnie going to confess she has Kat's baby? I love a happy ending and would love Kat and Alfie to be reunited and learn that their baby was still alive. A tearjerker awaits!!! ;)

Re: Eastenders
 

i want Kat and anfie to be together again

Re: Eastenders
 

Finally Ronnie has come to her senses and returned Tommy to Kat and Alfie, expect the next thing will be DNA tests! Feel sorry for Jack though. Also what the heck is going on with Max and newly married Tanya? Can't these people make up their minds? It's getting on my twits! Roll on tonight's episode. :D

Re: Eastenders
 

Tinky im with you! i don't know whether im coming or going, i had to buy the tv mag just to keep track of everything!.

Great that Kat and Alfie have they're baby back, but i feel so sorry for Ronnie, the heart ache and pain shes gone through all her life...

I know its not real but still haha.

Re: Eastenders
 

I suspect they are going into another mental health storyline. Based on the way the last scene with Ronnie ended with her on the floor apparently cradling Danielle, and the Doctor (Psychiatrist, I presume) asking if she had a responsible adult that could be there. I don't know, but that sounds to me like they are planning to section Ronnie.

Re: Eastenders
 

I think she has been losing it for some time now Stu, she's been like a dream walking. It's quite remarkable how these actors are able to turn on the waterworks at will. Wonder how they do it, praps think of summit sad, I guess.:rolleyes:

I also would have preferred a different ending to this storyline about how Kat and Alfie get the baby back. For example if baby Tommy had developed a slight medical problem that required a blood sample to be taken, and then Jack was told he wasn't the father. This whole storyline has been quite unbelievable, but not quite as bad as the one where Tanya tried to kill Max and tried to bury him in the woods.:rolleyes: :D:D:D Wonder what far fetched story they will come up with next lol.:D

Re: Eastenders
 

Oh, she has, but people rarely just become mentally ill. It happens over months, or sometimes years. This is something Eastenders has covered before. Remember Joe (Jaw) Wicks? He was becoming increasingly eccentric for about 18 months before the character was diagnosed. Even Stacy was showing signs months before.

As for actors turning on the waterworks, well some can do it easily. Most, from what I have heard, just go back to a really sad event in their life and think about it. Same with other emotions.

I remember Micheal Dorn (played Worf in various Star Treks) said it was the best part ever because he could get himself in a really bad mood, and just go to work and everyone would assume he is just staying in character.

Personally, I think this story probably looked good on paper. I don't know how believable I found it though. I didn't particularly like the Max/Tanya burial story though.

One think I think Brian Kirkwood has done well with EE though. He seems to have ensured that the writers flesh out the characters a lot better with stories (or histories) that in some cases give good reasons for them to act the way they do. Janine, for instance. In the past, she has just seemed like the sort of randomly evil person you don't generally get outside TV. At christmas, she had good reason to behave how she did, and her grandmother is a good indication of where it came from.

Re: Eastenders
 

How evil is that Yusif? I just want to slap him when he smilies.

Re: Eastenders
 

I really hope every 1 sees him for what he is EVIL

Re: Eastenders
 

He will get his comeuppance. Wonder when or what that will be.

We need some good storylines in this show. Gone downhill for quite a while now.

Re: Eastenders
 

Why are the characters on Eastenders so contrary, one minute they can't stand each other the next they can't keep their hands off each other? As in the case of Max and Tanya, she even went to the extent of trying to bury him alive. Then what about Zainab and Yusef ? They should get a room. Sometimes the storylines are just not credible, even I could come up with better plots.
