I see the Hollyoaks style openings have started to appear, for a moment i wasn't sure which programme i was watching! Laughing


Awful. I hope this doesn't become a regular thing - they used one at Christmas as well.


Excuse my stupidity but what is a Hollyoaks opening?! I don't watch either programmes often but am intrigued to hear what Eastenders have adopted.


It was a scene where they were going from person to person in the sqaure ( all the archie's suspects) with them all staring pointlessly, with some cheesey song in the background.

Every Breath You Take by The Police, if anyone's wondering, which got cut off abruptly when someone knocked on the door to the Vic while Billy was inside staring into space.

There was also, I think, a slowmo'd shot of Ian chucking the laptop in the water, which seemed a bit odd. Can't recall many cliffhangers mid-sentence, either.

Very X Factor, wasn't it?

Normally when they have a song at the beginning they usually have it playing from a radio in the next scene so it is 'realistic' but the 'Hollyoaks' style opening yesterday didn't do this, thus making it look tacky as you all say. This annoyed me, especially so as they used my favourite song to do it with!

I know it's still in Santar's reign what we see at the moment, but a bit worried that Kirkwood is coming in and obviously that is what they do at Hollyoaks, although I'm sure it was just a one off. I'd also love to meet a Janine character in real life, the lines she gets is just grade A bitch and she pulls it of perfectly.

And yet waiting 24 hours for the resolution is still less annoying that waiting for Dermot to announce which muppet is out.

I reckon he's left it all to... knitted character.

Hollyoaks has always used musical montages though, long before Kirkwood showed up. I doubt he's going to start turning EastEnders into Hollyoaks.

Yesterdays episode must have been the worst I've seen in recent times. Essentially a 10 minute episode drawn out to 30. As mentioned, it had a Hollyoaks start and when the wind blew the will away... who could have guessed what was going to come next... Surely not right at the end when one of the pages happened to be who got the Vic. The episode was so predictable.

I have to say the EastEnders 'we want your duff duffs' adverts are so cringeworthy it's unreal. If I was an EastEnders fan I'd be embarrased by the people portrayed
