Strange EastEnders tonight. It finished a fair few minutes early than it usually does. So early that in order to fill some time, they ran the extended omnibus credit theme for no apparant reason other than to fill some time I presume.

Surely the writers aren't running dry especially with all that's happened in recent episodes!

Seems to me they just run it at the end of weekday episodes randomly. The same thing happened at the end of a Monday episode in November. Not complaining though, I really like to hear the extended theme!

Also noticed they didn't do the credit squeeze either to advertise other programmes, also unusual.

I think they have started to use the omnibus theme when there are so many credits that they will go too fast on the screen and you won't be able to read them (not like you can really read them now). A particularly bad example of this is the EastEnders 25 credits from 2010:



Of course, the background doesn't help either.

I stand corrected, only tune in occasionally, nice to see David wicks back in and actually played by the original actor for once


I'm surprised no one asked him about what he's been doing since he was last there! Laughing


I think he did some crime travelling with Kristine Kochanski then pitched up in 1950's Yorkshire where his father was a likely lad and was Born and Bred there Wink

The omnibus end was used again tonight, perhaps this could become a regular occurance?

It wasn't used tonight, maybe because the episode ran it's usual length.

Speaking of which, the recast Lucy appears on Thursday. It'd be funny if they wrote a line in which Lucy and Lauren comment that each other looks different (since she was also recast). Smile

Lucy suddely has a mole on her neck she has never had before, I know I'm being pedantic Wink

bit confused with pat's house, her kitchen window is on the side of the building which faces onto the path to victoria street but outside it's a blank wall Confused

A thing I dislike about the set's are that most of the houses have the same layout or pretty much the same layout...Like Patricks/Pats Masoods/Brannings/Dots

Surely that's quite realistic for a street of houses that are all meant to be built to the same design standards?

High demand, high density urban houses from the edwardian period - all look the same on the inside, Raheem!

This was a while ago now but didn't get posted from what I can see:



The names fly by so quickly though it's pretty impossible to read them.
