What did everyone think of last nights EastEnders then? I thought it was excellent, the only bit i didn't like was the falling down the stairs (not nessecary imo). Overall a very good two episodes.

thanks to someone over at DS

Excellent, and it was realistic and not over the top.

It was outstanding last night. I gasped when Tanya fell.

Is Tanya leaving? I really hope she doesn't, she's a great character.
I also heard is leaving early next year.

Not heard anything about either. I hope not - both are brilliant.

Superb episode last night. Just goes to show really - nobody expected EE to be back to its best but it most certainly is.

Great follow up tonight,Whoever cast the branning family needs a payrise the whole family are perfect actors from the kids to the parents.

Max or Tanya have to win a big award next year at the British soap awards for the Xmas Episode acting alone.




I've just been reading an article on ds about the soap episodes,I've leave you a link and a taster but i think you should give it a read.

"I'm sure you'll agree, EastEnders has set a new and very high standard in soapland which will be very difficult to top."

I agree the Brannings are a brilliant family and the 4 actor are also very good, especially Lorna Fitzgerald and Madeline Duggen as Abbi and Loren. I think they are should be nominated for best new commers in the 2007 soap awards

now quite why corry can't bring in a family and give them a story is beyond me, what exactly have the mortens done?

Anyone know when 'Frank Week' begins?

Its in March 2008.

I assume the BBC won't be marketing it as such.
