to laugh at Ian Beale and his hat every time he appears on Eastenders

[janelikesjam]

I know its meant to be dramatic acting, as his character has had some kind of break-down. I am sure he will grow into it and it may prove to be a good and interesting storyline.

But for now, whenever he appears in his Benny hat trying to play that part, I laugh out loud.

OK, its just me laughing

Yep!

I also laugh, it looks ridiculous! I do know that it is only a tv show, and he is supposed to look like that

what makes me laugh is that he is probably one if the highest paid and he has no no script to learn for the last two weeks. nothing nada.

the had is pretty stupid.

the hat

I laughed too. And all those buttons done up on his shirt, with what looked liked padding underneath! Benny from Crossroads is back in soapland!

He had a breakdown, kicked his daughter out and then disappeared for ages. She's upset because he said done horrible things and then sodded off and left her to deal with all his debts and bailiffs etc. and look after his younger sprog

I'm the addict, not him :o

What's happened to him? Why was his dd so upset with him?

He got into a massive amount of debt to impress his girlfriend, Mandy, renamed the Cafe, ex lapdancer, and put his children second, she left on the wedding day, then he had a breakdown and left them.

I don't understand why he is waddling like a pregnant woman since he came back. Is that what happens when you have been living on the streets? You start waddling instead of walking normally?

I used to fancy Ian Beale.

No NameChange - it's what happens when you have a nervous breakdown and you aren't functioning either mentally or physically.

As well as what OLD said, but many homeless people have to keep on the move, for fear of attack, attracting attention, wearning ill fitting/worn shoes and some do start to walk in a shuffle motion. The toll that rough sleeping takes on the body and brain is immense.

I think it's been handled very well and Adam Woodyatt has finally been able to stretch some acting muscles after years of his character being a bit of a dick.

loving EE atm

I can't stand Sharon but I thought it was lovely to have her back when Ian needed help. They go back such a long way.

Oh right. Didn't know that. Cheers old and birds.

I wonder what happens to Ben tonight. It was a bit of an anti-climax yesterday.

Who keeps their bath tub full of water?

I thought it was Benny from Crossroads for a minute.

Who keeps their bath tub full of water? haha. I was just glad to see the "secret" out, I was dreading it would be dragged out till xmas.

There are only a couple of storylines going. Are they all on their summer holidays in the Carribean. Whats happening with the landlady affair (that lip gloss! Great wardrobe/make-up departments at Eastenders, theatrical (apart from Ian's hat of course and Sharon's "wedding" hair). I've been away
