EastEnders 8 - No spoilers, please!

A new thread for the new year

Will the truth come out about how Roxy and Ronnie died yesterday?
Will the new exec producer lose his obsession with bins?
Has Max really forgiven Jane, Ian and Phil?
What secret does the new 'Chelle have?
Will Johnny Sausage learn to act?
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!

I thought Ronnie was pregnant too. Had to wiki her to see what age she was - she's 44 so not beyond the realms of possibility but prob unlikely. I didn't think the dress was very flattering but she does have a certain look that gets away with it - and those cats eyes! I remember her in 'Game On' and being quite jealous of her!

Love Glenda (and also lived the actress iAd Makepiece all those years ago) but she and Danny look as if they have a slightly 'unhealthy' relationship. They are always with one another, it really annoyed me last night!

It fucks me off that there are so many very talented young actors out there, yet they cast pieces of wood as Lee and Johnny.

I'm sure that Lee wasn't that bad when he was first in it though. It's like he doesn't know how to act "depressed" so had given up.
I can't even remember the old Johnny but miss him because I'm sure he was 100 x better than the current one.

Sam womack was good in Game on and Liverpool one. Who were the guys in game on?
My dh loves her look, i think she has a 'baby alien' thing going on the with her eyes, but she is attractive in an odd way! IShe can wear anything and look good too!
Roxy is also very pretty, she is Alan sugars niece, but i can forgive that!

Countless times I've said over the last 10 years how good an actress Lacey Turner is and yet now they've got her almost blending into the furniture and it's a shame.

On the other hand, I fear now Max is back she's going to come to the forefront again and Stacey's marriage will be the casualty

Lacey is brilliant. Its a shame she is underused just now.

This is the old Johnny - he's very similar to the current one I think. Also found a 'ben' through the ages which made me laugh. The current one is def the best!

Game On - I could visualise the characters but couldn't remember their names. The guys were Neil Stuke and Matthew Cottle. I'd forgotten Ben Chaplin started off as one of the guys in it though.

Had anyone else never heard of Ongar before ee? Both me and dp thought it was somewhere abroad at first

Looking forward to tonight's episode, surely someone could be found accountable for the pool not being secured? Unless they did break in but we didn't see anything that indicated that. Time will tell I guess.

I think Mick's reaction is how most people would react upon finding out their offspring was responsible for robbing their own home/business, mental illness or not. That doesn't mean it was right for him to say what he said though and as I said in the previous thread things like that stick so Lee will likely fall into his depression even more now.

Great new thread! Not sure who stayed in posh hotel most of square would have gone back on the bus? I was confused why Lee and Mik didn't chat in quiet room at wedding rather get back taxi on own while leaving Whitney and presume Ollie and Babe? They as well.

Do wonder what Jack do for money but guessing he have Ronnie share of house and gym. He could leave and take kids so they can come back in few years as confused teens.

Hope Glenda dosnt hang and get involved with Max!

Thanks for the time 80's

Apparently even if people break in to a pool, the owners can be held liable. Apparently.

Ongar is that nice part of essex ( where a few of Towie relatives probably hail from) that is very expensive. Has its own steam railway. Dead posh , chipping ongar, Epping and the forest are close by.
(Im essex, butnot from there, too poor)

Game on was better when Ben Chaplin was in it.

Ah yeah I remember the old Johnny now. I'm sure he was a better actor than the current one.

Just, no worries!
Cant believe its all back to normal this week. Only another year to the next EE special! ( who will die then?)

I'd love to see the Carters leave the square this year, I can't stand any of them! I can't stand Johnny or Lee. I can't understand why they brought Johnny back, he brings absolutely nothing to the show.

I do hope we find out why roxy drowned tonight, its driving me mad!

Liney, interesting!
Whats to stop people then?
( am not a rebel so never tried to go in a pool out of hours) am a bore obviously!

Seemed like she drowned so quickly, how long did Ronnie have her back turned undoing her dress, didn't seem like long! It was very bleak and sad, feel awful for the kids, Amy losing her mum and aunty and Matthew just a baby :(
You'd think for a couple getting married to each other again they'd do something more low key!

Mind you, they should have read the warning signs around the place first..no diving, no running etc etc.. ( no heavy petting used to make me laugh)

Place marking :)

I watched the ending again today ( over invested)
Ron had her back turned a good few minutes trying to undo her wrap.
She was shouting for a few seconds before diving in.
There was a fair gap before she tried to save her.
Roxy just jumped in then nothing. No sound.
It was very errie, worse second time round.
Agree about the carters. Mick is ok (Ish) others can all go.

I have found my people

I like Linda and mick. Nancy was the best one though. I really really hope that they don't bring her back with a new head, that would be shit.
Babe is just such an awful pointless character, I don't understand why she is in it.
Shirl is great in her own right, rather than as a member of the carters.

Nine, welcome. EE fan since day one, (have an old EE tea mug too!)
My friends think im just weird.

Mick would be better used for shifty or hard storylines. Seems wasted on emotional topics.

Shirley desparately needs a new storyline. She's been plodding around not doing anything since Buster left. She is another character in danger of repeating storylines like how R&R became. Shirley's stories seems to always revolve around Phil and nothing else.
