EastEnders - General Discussion Thread

Wonderful episode tonight, wonderful acting from both Jessie and Kasey. I agree about the opening, unexpected but very well done, and it added something to the episode I think. Some great lines tonight as well, but everytime it cut to Alfie I think it didn't do much for the episode, it should have just been a Kat and Moe two hander, that would have been better. Loved it tonight and I want more of this from them. Keep it up!

Arse I missed the first few minutes, great stuff though. I am so pleased Enders has returned to form, please BBC don't stop now, just one week of dull episodes of Gus picking up litter or Demi's problems at school will pull it all down again! I do believe the ghastly Jules is coming back, bad move!

I wish they'd sort out Pat...Now Roy, Janine and Barry have gone she doesn't seem to do much except talking to people like Billy and Peggy about their problems and her problems. Maybe the return of Frank might sort her out...but its the same old roundabout (or runaround ).

I'm hoping to see more action and less chat. Tonights episode 'cleared the air' at last!

With EastEnders on an upward trajectory, Emmerdale is doing their usual spoiling tactics of an hour long show on Tuesday. However I'm not so sure Emmerdale will win this time. What do other people think?

I'm not sure, don't blame Emmerdale though because it's all down to ITV that they're scheduling these hour long episodes. Logically, Emmerdale would probably win because it starts at 7pm, although EE could still be in with a chance. Whatever happens though, the viewers always lose out.

I'm hoping now, the viewer will turn against Alfie, I have been wanting his character to crumble for so long, I find his prescence irritating and he always reminds me of an entertainer from Butlins...hmmm..

He doesn't remind me of an entertainer from a childrens party let alone Butlins. (I know you're referring to Shane's early career but...in character terms....)

Tonight, Kat was shouting at him and abusing him - he acted like a little mouse in a wind-turbine! He's got to go now, he's boring.

The show has actually been better in the last few weeks. I remember what Alison Graham said about EastEnders in the Radio Times. She said make sure you watch EastEnders this month, it'll be like a Christmas episode every week because of the big storylines starting with the discovery of Den's body. Looks like she was right, I hope she is, anything to stop ITV's gloating especially Emmerdale.

Well; Next week Dens body is released for burial. (Cue the classic Funeral punch-up complete with * Chrisse been pushed in Dens grave by Peggy *
Looking like another good week in the square. And theres still a certain court case to come and a few old faces... And I'm not talking about the Mitchells.

Oh, a few pics of the week ahead.

Apparantly Chrissie gets pushed into Den's grave? Can anybody confirm this rumour please?

Yep that definitely happens.

I was just looking at the Sky EPG and there are actually TWO hourlong Emmerdale episodes this week on Tuesday and Thursday. I think they may have shot themselves in the foot this time because I really don't think Albert Square is going to rollover and play dead this week.

One more question, can anybody tell me the ratings for Friday's episode (and The Green Green Grass) please?
