The thing is, when old characters come back I get all excited and then they turn up and within 2 episodes they annoy me so much I start hoping they just fuck off again Bianca

Yoksha · 13/05/2016 07:21

Maybe Belinda is going to be Grant's latest squeeeeeeze.Grin

Groovee · 13/05/2016 09:17

Kept thinking Neville was familiar.

RainbowsAndUnicorns23 · 13/05/2016 09:31

Neville is such a creep!
Belinda being stalker-ish with Mick is so annoying!! Like he will cheat on Linda!
The new jonny actor I can't warm too.. preferred the old one!
Peggy Mitchell's story is because Barbara Windsor wanted to leave when she felt ready and she thinks it's time to kill Peggy off now.. from watching last night's episode they won't be showing enforcement of life care as she will be ending it herself by the line 'cancer isn't deciding when it's the end, I am' or it was something similar to that
Babe I can't stand her!! But she is a fab actor!
What about kushs brother that came on the scene.. not too sure personally!!

mrswhiplington · 13/05/2016 14:36

I think the actor who plays Neville was in Minder, he took over the part from Denis Waterman. Seems a long time ago now.

You never know, Grant might fall for Babe, she's blonde isn't she.Grin Anyone remember her in Bergerac, she was his secretary. (I think I'm showing my age here)Smile

Jasonandyawegunorts · 13/05/2016 16:39

When will Max be back?

I saw a trailer the other day and he was in it. So it means he's filmed recently. what's the time frame between filming and airing about a month?

Jasonandyawegunorts · 13/05/2016 16:42

The thing is, when old characters come back I get all excited and then they turn up and within 2 episodes they annoy me so much I start hoping they just fuck off again

To be fair a lot of recent old characters have only been in 4 to 5 episodes at a time, Robbie, Charlie Slater...Jean... Whoever it is janet dibley plays... some others.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 13/05/2016 17:51

Wouldn't it be great if Grants now celibate?

nancy75 · 13/05/2016 20:25

Phil has never let peggy down? Christ she has got low standards.
What about when he was a crackhead?
or when he set the pub on fire with people in it?
Or when he slept with his brother's wife?
Or burnt down the car lot with a man asleep inside

Christ Phil should win a son of the century award

Jenda · 13/05/2016 20:25

Did anyone else shed a little tear in the Phil and Peggy boat scene?!

nancy75 · 13/05/2016 20:27

Sorry Jenda, no tears from my frozen heart!

ThatsMyStapler · 13/05/2016 20:33

Oh ffs, the sheer dullness of the boat trip.... what is the frickin point of that? Was more like a documentary of people who used to be in Eastenders (well... ish)

BeYourselfUnlessUCanBeAUnicorn · 13/05/2016 20:37

I have a feeling my frozen heart is going to thaw when Peggy dies. Think it will be very sad. More so because the people left behind are going to be devastated.

magicstar1 · 13/05/2016 20:41

Yay he's back!!!!!!!!

southeastdweller · 13/05/2016 20:45

It's overkill, I'm not moved at all.

The80sweregreat · 13/05/2016 20:55

I felt sad when Dot said goodbye. She really is a legend.
Acts everyone else off the screen.
So gladto see Grant back though. Still fancy him...

AGnu · 13/05/2016 21:17

I laughed all the way through tonight. What was she doing on the back of the milk float? The ridiculously cheesy music, them wandering along their old street with her chuckling, the 3 exes hanging out in Phil's kitchen, the shot from inside the oven... just what was going on?! Confused

I did get a little more excited than DH would've liked when I saw Sharon sneak out with her phone. I was practically bouncing on my chair squealing "She's going to call Grant. It's Grant! Graaaaaant!" BlushGrin He's old enough to be my dad.

The80sweregreat · 13/05/2016 21:25

Nancy, they have short memories when someone croaks! Phil has been an ass to his family, but they stick together cos its family..

HisNameWasPrinceAndHeWasFunky · 13/05/2016 21:35

I've been waiting for Grant to return ever since he left.

VashtaNerada · 13/05/2016 22:10

I thought tonight's episode was rubbish. Overly sentimental and dull. Bring back Neville and his hot tub! I did like Shirley's face though when Kathy asked if she could bake a cake Grin

BlueThursday · 13/05/2016 22:12

I've only just watched last nights so don't like to look at posts lest i spoil it for myself Blush so apologies if it's already been said but I think the new Belinda looks a lot like Lacey Turner you could definitely believe them to be related

BeYourselfUnlessUCanBeAUnicorn · 13/05/2016 22:27

I thought that too Blue.

Shirley is brilliant! I love her expressions and general demeanor. She's such a cow to people but it's hilarious.

ThatsMyStapler · 13/05/2016 22:54

I like Shirley, shes got some depth to her, helps that Linda (actress) is bloody amazing, but shes not all cartoony like Babe is (at the moment) but she did start off a bit like that

Belinda - LOVE HER!!! total tart with a heart, and funny with it - also love the actress

(still hated the 'trip dahn memory lane...' WTF was the dentist bit about??? we've not been there before, so what was the point

AGnu · 13/05/2016 23:14

I thought Belinda looked like Kat for a moment tonight - good casting having the Slaters look similar! I'm reserving my judgement on her for now - she feels like a Kat replacement & they were running out of stories for her. Not sure where they can go after they're done with the Mick-stalking.

BreconBeBuggered · 14/05/2016 00:46

Belinda has been looking like Kat ever since she came along with her new head. I can see the point of this Belinda, but I was disappointed to lose the old one as she was a dead ringer for a pretentious social climber I used to know, and it always gave me a giggle to see her being all up herself.

Dull, dull tonight.
