Classic Eastenders on the Drama channel

[dingdongdigeridoo]

So, classic Eastenders starts airing on the UKTV Drama channel from tomorrow! Two episodes from noon, and they’ll also be on UKTV catchup.

Use this thread to talk about Den, Angie, Arthur, poodle perms, poor fashion choices and Ethel’s Willy.

Carked not carved. Damn autocorrect

I'm surprised michelle can get a boyfriend she's so miserable!

Phil and grant - yay
But...where is Trevor? Where's Carmel and junior? Have I missed something?
And shirene and co?

Oh Trevor just walked in lol.
'Mrs Mo'
Muppet

Phil sounds quite lively and almost nice

Now he's all croaky/whispery/gravelly
(But I still think he stole his Drunk Face off Nookie Bear ...Roger De Courcey and Nookie Bear for those of us who are old enough )

Are they ever going to get landlines in their houses??
I like Julie, seems a shame she went.
I can't even understand why vince was still there lol.
Frankie from hollyoaks was having a go at grant in the cafe, its really livened up now they're in it.

I'm still catching up ,who is this mysterious old man that's wandering around the square is he a ghost?

Hooray😊

A certain someone has found the apostrophe

Been on holiday, just caught up with about ten days' worth of episodes (some didn't record though). OMG so much has happened. We're well into 1990, new baby Steven christened, Trevor & Paul gone, Julie gone, Danny gone, the Mitchells have arrived, Nick Cotton's back (can't believe he's found Jesus though!), Dot's a rich woman and Diane's exploits over the last 3 months have all been explained.

Hoping for better storylines with the Mitchells now on the scene.

What was the point of the mystery man wandering around, chatting to people then just dying on the bench? Harry Osborne? Is this going to be the start of something or was that it?

Not impressed that poor Pat has seemingly forgotten her previous strong woman persona and is just being a little wifey to Frank, doing all the housework/parenting and deferring to his manly declarations.

Also interested to see how the Cindy/Simon dynamic develops. I seem to remember Simon doesn't hang around for long, and Cindy has more children with Ian (twins?). Also when is David Wicks going to turn up?

Was that I young Max I spied living rough with Diane and her mates

Yeah I saw him too
Although pat is great for looking out for janine, I think expecting him to finish her bloody story was a bit ridiculous when he ran off to get Diane.
I liked the flashback it was well done.

It's certainly picking up.,but I appear to have missed a coupe of episodesc,I don't know wether my planner didn't record them or Drama missed them Have Paul and Trevor gone then did they just leave? And Julie ?

A year since Donna diedI know it's moving fast but bloody hell.
And Michelle's hair has been chopped, it's the end of an era
I'm starting to remember it a bit from the first time round now.

Time really does move fast, it was nearly Easter today!

So is Nick going to attempt to poison Dot with his "healthy diet" to get his hands on the ten grand?

And Den's ring - if it really is his, it's floated off his skeletal finger and drifted down the canal? I know Den does come back at some point, but it's not yet, is it?

I hope there's a happy ending for the Shireen arranged marriage - i.e. that she doesn't go ahead with it.

If Frank gives up the pub, is this when the Mitchells get their paws on it?

It's Eddie I think must have it next. I don't think he's appeared yet. And then the Tavernier family will join the square from what I remember.
I was enjoying the way the running away storyline was handled but now it's gone in a really weird direction with the statue etc.
I don't remember the b&b from before whatsoever lol.

I'm really confused about where everyone lives, it seems like they keep adding new houses or streets to accolade everyone?

I keep trying to figure out who lives in the b&b now? Was it split back into two houses and ones Jacks now or Mel’s?

@x2boys Trevor and Paul left together for a job oop north and Julie sold the lease for the salon building to the Mitchell’s. They were definitely on but drama have been skipping some episodes here and there.

Thanks cornetto,I don't watch modern Eastenders ,but there was a B&B in it for a while I think Patrick Trueman lived in it ,is it the same one ?

Ah that would make sense. I forgot that there was a b&b era with the Truman’s and Denise and Kim.

Michelle’s hair has my fingers itching to chop of those ridiculous scraggly bits. I don’t think I’ve ever been irritated by a haircut before.

Blast from the past - Cindy & Sharon outside Woolworths, with a British Telecom van!

Is the poisoning story over now? Came to a very unsatisfactory end, Nick’s just buggered off again.

I’m glad Shireen’s not having her arranged marriage, but what a disappointment that she thinks she’s in love, after spending a couple of hours with Jabbar. And what a strange reaction for the Karims to up sticks and move to Bristol. I’d’ve preferred Stella to dump Ashraf, then Sufia to divorce him for adultery!

I think.Nick was supposed to have had an attack of guilt when push came to shove about killing Dot ? But the inference was that she knew that he had been trying to poison her and he knew she knew? I was a bit puzzled about Charlie coming back ,was he actually concerned about Dot? And what did he get all dressed up for ?Had he deceided to stay with her ?

A very young Daniella Westbrook!.is the Taverniar,s house supposed to be a council.house ?Wiki says it is but it's a lot nicer than the other Council houses ?

Also liked Clyde rushing to turn his pointless bedside light off despite the extremely well lit hallway making his room like the illuminations anyway

Oooooh, Mark’s back!!! Hopefully might get some more interesting storylines now. The whole saving the market stuff was mind-blowingly tedious. Nice advert for Chessington today!
