I know it's been shit for ages but its just dire atm. I'm a bit behind and stopped watching when bunhead Lauren was getting drunk. Switched back on and she's back from rehab. Was her rehab in the Maldives? I'm sick to the back teeth of her and joey. What a mockery they've made of teen drinking showing her recovered. She's a terrible actress.

Lucy is weird and for an eastender she's got a v posh accent. As has bobby. And Dennis. And Sharon.

And I really don't like how every victim of sexual abuse is portrayed as promiscuous. In one episode we see Kat dragging a guy into an alley for a quickie and Whitney getting into a car with strange men. Not every child victim is like kat and bloody Whitney. Utter tosh. I need another long break from it. I only came back to it cos corrie is terrible these days.

Am I the only one that didn't know Alfie and Roxy are leaving the Vic?
Just found out today Sad

Is it me or do Alice, Lauren and Poppy all have the same shade of brown hair?

NuggetofPurestGreen · 03/10/2013 19:56

Haven't watched this in ages - why is Phil annoyed with Jay and telling him to break up with Abby??

I had no idea that Sophie Thompson was Emma Thompson's Sister and that Sophie played Stella Crawford in Eastenders!

Nooooo not Mikey! :(

GwendolineMaryLacey · 04/10/2013 13:38

Thank Christ for that. I cannot abide that man and have been waiting for him to kick the bucket since he first came into it.

YoureBeingADick · 04/10/2013 20:17

Not reading posts about michael. Fingers in ears. LALALALALALA

I love michael- he cracks me up. That exchange with roxy just now was hilarious. "I saw a 3 legged kitten this morning" Grin

Dillydollydaydream · 05/10/2013 16:53

Ooh. Kellie Bright, was she the girl from the Upper Hand? I used to love that show.

Dh doesn't get why I watch EE as I always read all the spoilers anyway! :)

cheerfulweather · 05/10/2013 19:10

I remember Kellie Bright from T-Bag! More recently from The Archers. But I think she was in Upper Hand too.

Steve John Shepherd is a superb actor. He plays that twitchy sociopath to perfection. You can see that so much more goes on under the surface than what he actually says. He's brilliant and often hilariously dry.

crikeybill · 08/10/2013 09:26

Yes ! I couldn't agree more. It's what he shows is goingon uunder the surface without saying a word that makes him a bloody amazing actor. Oh god im going to weep when he goes !!!!!!

sincitylover · 08/10/2013 14:46

I have always like Steve John Shepherd from way back when he was in This Life (anyone remember that series).

He is very clever and gifted actor Grin

zower · 08/10/2013 21:19

Yes, he was the young barrister's clerk in This Life, played the part really well. I remember the weird thing he had going on with whatshername. Loved that programme ...

MissBattleaxe · 08/10/2013 22:06

Yes I remember him as Jo in This Life. Funnily enough, he had a thing with Kira, who will shortly be in Eastenders, but sadly after Michael Moon has left! Such a shame, I'd love them to have had a scene together just for us This Life fans.

CMP69 · 10/10/2013 20:36

Oh beginning of the end for MM O suspect. Janine wont take that! Angry

MissBattleaxe · 10/10/2013 22:14

Janine was toxic and evil tonight. I hope she suffers.

Fakebook · 11/10/2013 09:40

Michael moon always reminds me of Henry Kane in Poltergeist part 2. It's the evil smile and the teeth and nose.

Tiredemma · 11/10/2013 09:43

I only watch this to see MM.

I am beyond bored shitless of watching the Kidney Donor Kid talk utter shite. What purpose is he in the show?

cheerfulweatherforthewedding · 11/10/2013 09:59

MM always looks so cynical and knowing. I think he could join in the discussion about EE here quite well. He will be a loss to the programme.

Also bored of the kidney storyline, but will be waiting and interested to see if guesses about Sam disappearing with said kidney are correct.

Have been wondering who Lauren's mannerisms and jerky way of talking (if that makes sense) remind me of. Captain Jack Sparrow Blush

Lucy looks like she's lost weight, either that or it's some poor styling with her wardrobe.

MissBattleaxe · 11/10/2013 11:23

Lucy is painfully thin.

Yes the problem with EE is that it is creating a so called major story line around characters who have barely been in it five minutes so the viewer has not yet emotionally invested in them.

At the moment,I like any scene with Ronnie in, or MM, or Cora, but otherwise I start reading magazines. It's a real snorefest right now.

I also think the endings of episodes are really kind of clunky and Crossroads-like. They seem to end an episode almost in the middle of a conversation. No decent duffs duffs for ages.

OliverBoliverButt33 · 11/10/2013 19:57

The blokes playing Sam and Dexter cannot act to save their lives - wish they'd both just sod off.

Like Ava though. She could get into some good storylines without these two hanging around.

Michael was scary last night Shock

YoureBeingADick · 11/10/2013 20:03

Michael was seriously scary last night! Although completely in keeping with his character i thought. He really took the wind from janine's sails didnt he.

Btw- i still dont get what happened with scarlett since janine came back. Why did MM hand scarlett back to J? She was a stranger to S. he was doing a brilliant job with her why did he give in? And also janine seems to have suddenly turned nasty again on MM when she seemed to have settled with the idea of him seeing scarlett now and again. What triggered the change?

MrsTomHardy · 11/10/2013 20:28

Just watching EE now for the first time in weeks and wondered who CINDY is, is Ian her dad, and where did she spring up from??
I'm confused Shock

YoureBeingADick · 11/10/2013 20:33

Some italian man is cindy's dad. She is the original cindy's daughter and was living with her gran in devon.

I bet MM (the character) would be awful in bed. Far too selfish Grin

Dillydollydaydream · 11/10/2013 20:51

Oh dear. Silly Alice :(
