IMO a drowning is much more distressing that a shooting. Shoootings are common in soaps now, and are pretty quick and we know what is going to happen. But to see somebody being slowly, slowly dying, struggling against the force, is extremely upsetting to watch.

Not sure if I'm the only one but I found tonight's scene of squiggle being drowned far too distressing for 7.30-8.00PM television... It was disgusting and disturbing.


I agree. If she dies, then that was a very graphic murder for 8pm.


Totally agree, was there a need to show it so graphically?

Guggle.... sorry Squiggle doesn't die by the way

What was the storyline with Yolande, Patrick about last week? They started dancing randomly after Patrick being upset? Why was he upset? Those two characters are going nowhere as well IMO.

Honestly, it pains me to see such a great actress so criminally underused. The awful Deano gets more screen time than her.

"That's coz he's well buff innit!" Rolling Eyes I notice they are trying to lure in the tiddlepeeps now with bit of teenage chav speak!

I think Enders main problem at the moment is that a lot of the cast (especially the kids) are a complete waste of space and are so bloody irritating! Who gives a damn about Chelsea & Squiggle, Phil's pig ugly kid, Ian's annoying brats or Jim's grim grandchildren? Some of the adults aren't much better, "Keef", Minty, Gary, SJ, Gus, Charlie & Bloody Fat Mo are all dull, irritating and pointless characters that are clearly going nowhere. Even Ian is getting on my tits.

This is now the problem. They've thrown so many rubbish storylines at this soap a lot of the characters have now become a waste of space. "Oh lets throw some professional actors in like Una Stubbs or Michael Caine in that'll sort it out....stuff it..Better still bring back the lovely Letitia Deano." - Oh I'm losing the plot talking about it!

Who the f*** is writing EastEnders these days? Lizzy Bardsley?

Words. Mouth. From. My.

SO true. It's become a parody of a 'soap' and ever lacks the basic creditals now.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable change of the titles to include shots of the characters and suitably **** musical remix.
