EastEnders

Muslim tradition apparently. The family takes on the father's/husband's first name as their surname. Just what I read though so don't quote me on that.

is that something you read on Digital Spy? can't say i've ever heard of that being a muslim tradition.

The episode shown on BBC Prime last night was thirty minutes of (almost) slapstick comedy - Uncle Charlie and Big Mo Slater and their kilts, else Mo trying to promote pearly weddings or bagpipes, Minty and his exercise routine, Gary's mum getting tipsy on cocktails and ending up with job at the salon, Dot pursuing Bradley through the streets and singing potential wedding hymns, Bradley falling asleep in the seated position inside the cafe, Roni and Roxy decorating the Vic for a sixties night in the most ridiculous colours, Mr. Masood trying to post letters through Kevin's letterbox, Mrs. Masood's furniture van going missing, Chelsea's mom continuing her rivalry with Mrs. Masood and chanting a mantra before being marched to Masood's front door by Kevin with a box of chocolates in hand as a peace offering..........

.......all in all, a complete load of rubbish.

Bring back Deano Wicks and his topless torso that we managed to catch a glimpse of last week. What a body............................LOL

And why are they bringing Bianca back? She won't be of any use without Ricky.

Another act of desperation in bringing Bianca back.


They should have learnt by now that bringing characters back rarely works when they've got an estabhlished family still in the show - but bringing back someone with no obvious connections is a sure sign it's more about the actress than the character and storyline.

If anybody is watching tonights repeat of EastEnders on BBC THREE at 10pm, can you look at the following for me and confirm/or not confirm whatever the case may be.

On Jack's warrant card we're sure the name read "DI Philip Hunter" and the cig machine charges £4.95 for a pack of cigs in the Vic!

Yay!

...and I hear Nigel's daughter is returning? How about bringing Nigel back? In fact, bring Pauline and Roly back for all I care.

After announcing only recently that bringing back Dirty Den caused the show considerable damage, it then seems the height of stupidity to repeat the error by resurrecting Bianca and Claire.

Aside from failing to learn from their admitted mistakes, it shows a distinct lack of originality. Perhaps they are just trying to find a reason to cancel it altogether.

According to BBC News this morning Sid Owen will also reprise his role as Ricky.

Whats the bet his agent was furiously on the phone to Elstree the minute the Patsy story broke?

Ricky Butcher has to be the most boring EE character ever.

The producers don't have a brain between them these days. I just don't understand their logic. The show should have ended back in 2003 imo.

The show is currently attrocious, but I do see there is a certain logic to repopulating the cast with actors who there at the show's peak.

Additionally, I've always found Sid Owen to be extremely attractive - the actor not the character, you understand.

I definately would.

maybe they will bring back reg cox

he'll wake up in 1985 and the last 22 years have all been a dream

Albert Square 1985 and 2007 - would anyone notice the difference?
