Paul Nicholas (not Nicholls; different vintage altogether) is the one who amongst other things narrated some early Spot videos.

AGnu · 18/06/2015 13:50

YY, Brecon, BBC are saying Paul Nicholas, not Nicholls. Pretty sure I've not seen him in anything before, except possibly in Spot... We definitely watched it at primary school!

Mrsjayy · 18/06/2015 15:49

Oh Blush

Mrsjayy · 18/06/2015 15:51

Paul Nichols would be far to young for kathy Grin

bleedingheart · 18/06/2015 16:33

Paul Nicholas has some bouncy blonde hair so that will explain the Sharon mop Wink
Did none of you or your mums watch Just Good Friends? Shock
Would be a bit weird if Paul Nicholls came back into it unless he was still playing Joe. He was such a major character for a time.
Where is the Buster/Carol scenario going?
Do the writers think every man goes looking for other women even if they are happy with someone else?!

Mrsjayy · 18/06/2015 16:39

Urm my mum watched just good friends not me nooo

Mrsjayy · 18/06/2015 16:41

Tbf buster probably needs a break from shurls vulture like face Grin I love buster and carol very cute together

bleedingheart · 18/06/2015 17:56

I like Buster too.

I watched it when it was repeated in the late 90s Mrs J Wink

Mrsjayy · 18/06/2015 18:11

Ah the late 90s must have been when i saw it

bleedingheart · 18/06/2015 18:38

I think Masood has behaved atrociously, saying he 'chose' Shabnam and then betraying her to Shirley and her family.
So he thinks it's fine if Jade is brought back to the square and she has to face her everyday, being brought up by Dean of all people?!
So judgemental and cruel!
Carmel went back up in my estimations in Tues episode!

CrapBag · 18/06/2015 21:09

Totally agree bleedingheart. How the hell can Mas claim he has chosen Shabnam! Some bizarre logic that I don't get there.

Hating what they are doing with Dean! Having Roxy seep with a rapist and admit she likes him, have got him break down over his sick daughter to make us feel sympathetic!

I have a feeling Buster is seriously doubting him now.

Loved Busters proposal. "Marry me" Shirl just shouting no back.

RedandYellow24 · 18/06/2015 22:26

Hated Dean roxy line too I mean ewwwwww. Surely any woman would think twice, then you have abuse to her sister and her daughter and she still chases after him. Made me feel sick.
I thought him saying punish me not her was him saying to buster he did rape Linda? He certainly did a forlorn look up to the pub on the way back.
Wasn't sure if buster abs Shirley were any actual item or he was just supporting her, then when he chased after carol at the bingo and after though ok so he's single. But then Shirley went mad, confused!

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/06/2015 22:34

I rem paul in just good friends

And would a foster parent really be that easy to bribe? Shock

Buster probably didn't know if Shirley was ever coming back. I predict the storyline will go something along the lines of...
Buster: "I know Dean raped Linda."
Shirley: "But I promised him I'd support him. I can't let him down again."
Jade will get miraculously fast-tracked into Dean's care I give it a week & Dean & Shirley will leave with Jade in tow to start a new life somewhere. Buster & Carol will get together... Then she'll die of breast cancer because they missed a tiny cell or 2 of breast tissue, or he'll get cancer, or their house will blow up.

differentnameforthis · 19/06/2015 05:00

It's Paul NICHOLAS that has been cast as Gavin.

differentnameforthis · 19/06/2015 05:06

Opps, wrong link! Paul Nicholas

Though I have a suspicion that when Kathy had Ben with Gavin, he was quite a few years her junior...I don't know why, but I am sure he was said to be quite younger.

Of course, if he is Sharon's dad, that will make her & Ben brother/sister, and she will have married her previous step dad!

differentnameforthis · 19/06/2015 05:07

Except I have no idea what I am talking about, because Ben is Phil's...dur!!!

Jasonandyawegunorts · 19/06/2015 07:37

I was about to say Ben is phils son.

Mrsjayy · 19/06/2015 08:39

Urgh at Dean and Roxy Ronnie is going to kill him (literally). So foster carers can be bribed then ridiculous storyline ! Buster is going to be involved in the Dean reveal I think.

Jasonandyawegunorts · 19/06/2015 08:56

So Buster looked at a girl of "About 13" when he was in a bar, and thought that's the girl for me?

Eastenders writers are getting really creepy with things like this.

Mrsjayy · 19/06/2015 09:00

Tbf shurl was in the bar he is only a few years older than shirley he wasnt 18 he was underage shurl could have lied about her age but i hate all the underage pregnacies in E E E too shirley, carol, Linda cindy , and poor Kat im sure there is more

hoobygalooby · 19/06/2015 09:36

Well now I feel old
I watched Just Good Friends first time round in the 80s Shock
Paul Nicholas is very handsome!!

Mrsjayy · 19/06/2015 09:42

So did I was kidding myself i didnt watch it first time round

DieselSpillages · 19/06/2015 09:53

Buster will reveal that he knows Dean raped Linda. Shirl will go on a bender and turn into EE resident bag lady living in allotment shed , leaving Buster to cop off with Carol and adopt Jade (once Ronnie has got rid of Dean).

RedCrayons · 19/06/2015 13:15

I loved Paul Nicholas as Vince in JGF! I hope he's good in this.

I still think Deans comeuppance will be Shirley losing faith in him and cutting ties with him. He has mummy issues so her abandoning him again will be his worst punishment.

Trying to set Shirley and Buster as a great love story across the years is a bit much. Phil was the love of her life ten minutes ago.

I do like Buster though, I hope he's staying.
