Is Denise going to go through with the adoption?
What's going to happen with Lee?
What are your hopes for EE this year?

Come and discuss here!

HateSummer Yes the resemblance is uncanny

Michelle has forgotten all about her daughter too - literally no mention of either of her children and nobody else has mentioned them either!

I noticed that they actually ate some of the meal yesterday, rather than pushing it around the plate.

So ageee about the towels! Was t Arthur a bin/road sweeer and Pauline worked in laundrette. Can't imagine them having towels anywhere more exotic than market or woolies.

While I remember who had been running Arthur's allotment? I remember someone took over someone's when they got ill...was it Patrick's? But he woulnt have known Arthur or was it Charlie's and Stacey mum did. All rather a blur!

Patrick has had that allotment and Stacey;s mum Jean too ( she met the new fella she went off with at the allotment)
it all goes on there, they go there when they are on the run or need a bolthole. mostly anything apart from growing veg it seems.
Didn't Nu chelle n martin clear that patch in double quick time? I was impressed.

Remember when Martin was growing cannabis on the allotment?? Or was that a dream I had...

eh? I really do not remember that at all! ( not before the watershed anyway)
I always thought it was Mark that was the tearaway kid ( with chelle not that far behind)
Sonia's rows with Pauline were always good value, when she broke that fruit bowl it was the end of an era. Now all they have is a double fronted drawer.
Its a wonder little Annie, Mary the punk girls kid hasn't shown up - they all usually come back to the square in one form or another.

It was years ago so Martin would have been youngish. I think there was someone else involved but can't remember. I remember the episode where the bobbies showed up and caught him.

The old martin maybe?
so many plot lines, I remember old episodes being shown on Gold once and I had forgotten so much and so many faces too. So much has gone on over the years.

Oh yeah old headed Martin. I checked wiki and it's true. He was aided by Asif!

Talking of extras, a few posts back, my sister and I volunteered to be extras many moons ago on a very low budget film. It was set in a pub (our scene). We turned up, looked at the other volunteer extras, decided they all looked like numpties and we would wipe the floor with them, show them how it was done. All we had to do was stand amongst a crowd and pretend to chat. You guessed it, we were hopeless. Couldn't even do that. The "numpties" were brilliant, completely natural. One got promoted to walk to the bar. Iirr Craig Fairbrass was in it.

Asif! Yes, old Martin was up to no good then.
They were all such tearaways. (Apart from when Sharon got engaged to a priest for a few months)
Babe is the only real baddie at the moment. Lee sort of is ( by default). Steven beale had potential baddie, but he has gone off the boil and jayne is even civil o him now! Max should be a bad one, but isnt. Its not like the old days! ( ponders more evil characters to appear, bring back janine)

Tobee, goes to show its not easy blending in ! Promoted to walking to a bar! Do,you get paid more if they make you walk about?

I would like to give it a go though. If Jonathan Ross"s mum can do it..

Craig Fairbrass, he was in EE once.
He went on to do Cliffhanger, then disappeared.

We certainly didn't get paid at all.

Wasn't Tracey aka Jane Slaughter, the doyenne of extras (with very honourable mention to Big Ron and the milkman, rip) dressed in Elizabethan finery? I was expecting to see her playing Sir Toby Belch in a marvellous Queen Vic enactment of act 2, scene iii of Twelfth Night. This prospect was dangled before my eyes before being cruelly unrealised. Ee cutting room floor?

And yes Craig Fairbrass played Dan, Bianca's older man from her "fashion industry" past. But Carol "no luck with men" Jackson's then present. He features heavily in Bianca's Secret Diary, still available on Amazon, not that I was given a copy one birthday. But this was, I believe, post Prime Suspect 1 Craig Fairbrass and pre Eastenders in this film.

Dan sullivan was a real baddie, no pie making with him! Or twelfth night silly stuff.
Although, seeing them dressed up made my night! ( i am a sad case)

My theory is 'Chelle' is back because Grant and Courtney turned up at her door in Florida looking for little Mark Fowler Mitchell and she ran away after Mark turning on her for lying to him for years.

No idea where the towels come into it though.

The towels are for the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy cross over episode.

Ha ha! Towelgate!
What is going on?
Id love the hitchhikers to get on board. How funny.

Can I just go back to the Huw and Bex resemblance 😂😂😂

Grrrrrrr bugs me jack is still saying gone away. Not dead

Tho dot did the dirty work. Tho how many children know what heaven is. They need to say they died

Bless AMY. Great acting there

Michelle. Pink hives. Boiling sheets? New towels?

Is she trying to be the most unliked sil?

Cutting crusts off? I don't do that lol. Mean nanny !!

More screen time. Tv computer. DVD for Ricky AMY. And where is baby MAtHEW??

Nick punched oz. that was it 🙄

Allotment?? Getting lots of scenes

Jack. Great acting. He was so right. Was exactly how I felt when my husband died

Everyone else's lives go on. They all make plans - talking
About roast dinners etc while your whole world has shattered and heart broken into pieces :(

Was Rebecca conceived in Arrrfurr's allotment or am I imagining things?

Cannot imagine Pauline ever giving a shit about a towel. She'd tell her kids to just get over it.

Pauline and Arfur going at it in The Shed. What an image.

No one had fluffy towels in the 80's. Michelle is fantasising.
