LoL I agree, it was all a bit silly. What I found cringeworthy was how all the Eastenders ran around in a stupor because ''Mad May's back on the square.'' I mean, come on...who does that in a community when some old face returns?

The whole storyline was poorly written last year, why did they revive it for the sake of a couple of weeks this year? It's outlandish and unrealistic, almost sick.


Pffft says the man who watches BB.

Horses for courses. On this occassion i overlooked all the errors in tonights episode.

Okay where i live and work, if we don't know each others business we make it up ourselves. Us country bumpkins love a good scandal and we like to think city bods are the same. Human nature and all that good neighbourly stuff. I suppose only in London do they quite literally stab you in the back.

No no, I love watching Eastenders, I'm just pointing these things out for the sake of it.

it's not the first time that house has been blown up, they did it about ten years ago.

I was concerned for the baby playing Summer because in a few scenes she looked fightened, and one-year-olds don't pretend to be frightened.

It's been all over the place in the schedules lately, I'm so confused. The last episode on Sunday showed May turning up on Dawn's doorstep at the end. And then today a street party appeared out of nowhere and Dawn's house spontaneously combusts Confused I must have missed an episode, but I've looked in the TV guide and I can't work out when.

And I had such a high hopes that Keef was finally going to be killed off as well. What a disappointment Rolling Eyes

You missed an hour long episode on Wednesday. If you really need to watch it try the iPlayer or the omnibus. IIRC there was a Wednesday episode the week before as well.

The spoiler on here about the explosion was a bit wrong. I read it as "Just as Keith enters his house it explodes" but he was sitting there watching it explode.

Whilst having a look at the video blogs for BBC HD in Australia, the top guy there was being interviewed and talked about the fact the EastEnders set is currently being rebuilt as the BBC has a commitment to putting all its prime time shows high def within two years.

I assume this is currently being done at Pinewood then?

From February...

A relocation to Pinewood Studios is looking a lot more likely, as the studios are currently carrying out a huge amount of redevelopment work on the backlots. Info here.

It hasn't been built yet, so there's still enough time to incorporate a set for EastEnders.

This was something mentioned briefly during the Weakest Link Eastenders special the other day. A member of the cast remarked that Eastenders would soon be moving to the same site as the Weakest Link specials studio, and Anne confirmed it was indeed Pinewood Studios. The new set won't be finished until 2010.

I was really hoping Stephen Lord (Jase) was going to be on the Weakest link, but he wasn't Sad

If anyone else likes him, there's a new website devoted to him called www.stephenlordonline.com. So far only the forum and gallery are available, but there will be lots of info on the main site too. Very Happy

What does everyone think of the storyline between Jase and Dawn? Confused
I don't think they make a convincing couple at all!

It's interesting to note that it's more than three weeks since anyone's posted anything here on the EE thread. I guess that kinda
demonstrates the level of interest that we all have related to what is supposed to be the BBC's flagship drama series!

I am only here today to tell you that Pam St. Clement has been given an honorary doctorate by a University in the UK. Doctor Pat. Congratulations.

You make a interesting post about how much lack of interest there is in EastEnders on this site. Whereas, people rate each episode in the corrie thread and gets alot of hits, EastEnders doesnt not, even thought both of them get about the same number of viewer. It just says something about TV Forum's posters and what they watch.

Its more about the show being so poor at the moment I'm almost lost for words.

Saw some moments of the "banana spider" storyline at the end of the week. Absolute garbage. The point where I switched off was when "word had got out" about this spider's arrival in Walford and suddenly the cafe was full of arachnid experts all leafing their way through reference books hoping for a glimpse.

Its just embarrassing to watch. Can't imagine what it would be like to be in the show.
