New shinny thread here!

OP posts:
MissWimpyDimple · 27/12/2016 10:48

The Michelle casting is ridiculous! I've never seen anyone look less "American". They made her son look like a comedy 50s yank (with a completely perfect plummy Brit accent) and then make her look the least American possible!

The accents are ludicrous. Like you wouldn't have picked up a thing over all those years.

Oh and Lee is a snivelling toad.

HateSummer · 27/12/2016 12:42

misswimpy you must have missed it when she asked Stacey where her "cell" was 😆.

dingdongdigeridoo · 27/12/2016 15:01

Michelle looks like she's been avoiding the Florida sunshine! She's so pale. And yes, still very British looking and sounding.

We should just thank gawd they didn't bring her back with a fake yankee accent tho. Remember Vicky? And the stage school accent that suddenly disappeared once viewers started complaining?

Mark Jr was basically Danny from Grease. Grin

MrsJayy · 27/12/2016 15:10

Loved Whit being furious and disgusted with Lee he really is a snively faced twat. Max office job pays for a nice car and watch eh wonder what he is really up to, is phill going to be all angsty because his mate Tony didn't get the liver ?

EnidButton · 27/12/2016 15:23

cool I have a relative who was in icu recently and they allowed phones.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/12/2016 15:30

Well the hour long Christmas day episode dragged a bit. Not really warming to the new Chelle.

I agree, hooray finally Whitney has taken her head out of the clouds and seen Lee for what he is. I have a feeling everything will come crashing down around her. I don't think we'll be hearing the tinkly laugh anytime soon.

Phil's jaundice cleared up quickly, he is no longer yellow. Laughing at Ron and Roxie exclaiming "Wow you look great Phil!" (close up of Phil looking half dead with his mouth hanging open). Grin

Ian wins the prize for worst Christmas jumper, a sort of baggy Christmas cardigan.

I really hope Max hasn't come back to Walford for "a quiet life". How tedious. Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 27/12/2016 15:41

When 'Chelle was asking Stacey about Max "just a friend" why didn't she just say "He was my Father-in-Law"
Has she forgotten about Bradders?
Is it odd for a FIL to buy a huge turkey for his DIL ?
(She doesn't need to know the rest)

woodhill · 27/12/2016 15:49

I was thinking about the Fowler new heads.

We've had a new Mark Fowler - Todd Carty so a Grange Hill reunion with Sue Tulley.

Then new head Martin and now Michelle.

At least Ian's still the same.

Cath is so irritating especially when drunk, the life and soul of Walford

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/12/2016 15:54

finally caught up

dont like new michelle, with no amercian twang yet vicki did, tho mark didnt due to private schooling [hhm]

sharon didnt look impressed wither

should have recast her years ago as they do with all new heads - rem bobby will be out around next summer as will do 18mths instead of 3 yrs

max, revenge obviously but did he send the ouding from lucy to shock ian

stacey loved her pressie tho was huge and should have been in overn from 7am Grin

why didnt stacey buy a turkey/£10 coop deal Grin was lovely :)

phil finally has a new liver, wonder who died for him to gain it .....

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/12/2016 15:54

Yes, Stacey was being unnecessarily mysterious when being asked about Max. What was all the "he's a friend but it's complicated" Confused
Can't understand why Chelle is so interested in Max anyway. It's all she bloody talked about.

Now I've seen them together, little Louie is a mini Max in a romper suit. Grin

mrswhiplington · 27/12/2016 16:39

Found last couple of episodes so boring, kept waiting for something dramatic to happen. Love the exchanges between Shirley and Sylvie, highlight of the show. They should give them more screen time, both brilliant actresses.

Hope it does all come crashing down for Lee, can't stand his stupid expression. All the deceit and lies, as Whitney said, he's pathetic.

CorporalNobbyNobbs · 27/12/2016 16:49

I have a friend whose lived in the states for well over 20 years and has no trace of a us accent. Same with my sisters in Aus - so I don't find Michelle's accent weird. Everything else though...

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/12/2016 16:59

Why was Lee released? And finally Whitney grows some balls .,,,,, tho if she wasn't a wingy wife demanding everything then maybe Lee wouldn't have done what he did

He is being bullied at work. Should find another job easy enough

So was the plan for Whitney to cook in the vic and have dinner there rather then her bedsit?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/12/2016 17:04

New Michelle is just too posh. She was brought up by Pauline and Arfer in the East End Confused

I thought I hadn't seen Lee's Inspector Gadget mac for a while, Chelle's wearing it.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/12/2016 17:07

Lee might have been charged and released on bail? It can take ages to go to court. Who knows? He lies like a flat fish.

The80sweregreat · 27/12/2016 21:14

I lost. Love that expression.. New one for me to nick! ( not heard it before! )

EE is so dull.. Roxy drops a bombshell..
' im going away'..doof doof doof..yawn..

EnidButton · 28/12/2016 00:18

Bloody hell, Whitney's nails! Lethal.

EnidButton · 28/12/2016 00:59

Ooooh. Bit goosebumpy at that ending.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Gracey1231 · 28/12/2016 01:02

why does sharon constantly avoid spending time with denny?!

EnidButton · 28/12/2016 01:05

She maybe doesn't recognise him since he got that haircut. Can't blame her.

iknowimcoming · 28/12/2016 14:51

I don't really know why but I can't stand Sharon at all, and why does she only ever wear black grrrr! Agree the new chelle isn't right, not sure what that's all about or why we are supposed to be interested in why a character we have seen for 20 years has turned up Confused

CorporalNobbyNobbs · 28/12/2016 14:54

I used to like Sharon but she's turned into a right wet lettuce since marrying Phil. 'I'm nothing without him!' Yes you bloody well are. And he's responsible for the death of the real love of your life (and your kid's dad!).

celeste84 · 28/12/2016 17:22

Just done my EE xmas catch up. All in all a very uneventful EE xmas.

So it was the turn of the electricity board to feel the wrath of the EE complaints instead of the bin Grin

Max's return; a bit of a yawn. I'm sure a story or two will develop for him in due course. Hopefully its not going down the Stacey route.

Michelle & Tina?

Surprised how everyone is not overly bothered about Lee being carted away by the police on xmas day. No one gossiping or anything.

Phil saved. Was always gonna happen. I suppose we now have to make do with the drawn out recovery with lots of heavy breathing, slamming doors, arguing.

Get rid of Ronnie and Roxy. Thier exit can't come soon enough for me.

iknowimcoming · 28/12/2016 18:28

Do we think Phil will start drinking again as soon as he's fully recovered? I will be really hacked off if so .......

nancy75 · 28/12/2016 18:28

I think we are in for lots of guilt ridden angst from Phil, he got a liver & his friend didn't.
