I thought we were going to see a major death of a main character after last week.

Only 10 months and 5 days to go until the next episode...

Bananarama21 · 20/02/2022 21:01

I agree it was very anti climax it would have been better had one of them dead and would have made the accident more of an impact in the series think they missed an opportunity there.

user1471504747 · 20/02/2022 21:01

So the sum total of consequences from the crash on the show is...nothing then

Hopefully the shock from Dr Turners incident and his talk of home with Sheila will make him want to retire and spend the rest of his days shouting yay with the kids, in socially distanced turns.

Any predictions for the Christmas episode? Tricked return I’m sure is a given

heelforheelandtoefortoe · 20/02/2022 21:02

The deaths in this episode felt very much a shrug shoulders 'oh well' thing. everyone back to smiling happy east end community

whatwasIgoingtosay · 20/02/2022 21:05

Oh well, I love a happy ending Smile

Orangelover · 20/02/2022 21:06

That was rubbish I was hoping for some proper strife! Grin

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 20/02/2022 21:06

Yes! I know life goes on but in the space of a week? How was the widow going to support herself and her family? Would they have been able to stay in that house?

Shelagh’s oven gets spattered with grease from the goose.

She returns to the nuns.

Broken.

Bananarama21 · 20/02/2022 21:06

I think the grittyness of the earlier series is completely missing the show has lost it spark. It had an opportunity to alter the dynamics moving forward by a main character passing but choose the happy ending.

TitsInAbsentia · 20/02/2022 21:07

Well....I mean, well....I guess I'm happy about the return of Phyllis, and that Fred and Reggie have made it through, but it never really reached boiling point did it. I'll still be up for the christmas special, you know it...

JinglingHellsBells · 20/02/2022 21:08

It's evidently scheduled to run till 2024.

heelforheelandtoefortoe · 20/02/2022 21:09

The actor who plays Tim says the episode was emotionally draining.

All he does is shout 'daaaaaaad' and look scared.

redredbluebluered · 20/02/2022 21:09

Xmas episode predictions...

Tricks to return and get engaged to whatshisname

Lucille pregnant

Nurse Corrigan will probably have left and her departure explained in a way similar to Nurse Dyer's

I predict a death too.. possibly SMJ

I was hoping for an explosion!
JinglingHellsBells · 20/02/2022 21:10

I feel it's lost something this series. Before, they tackled very real issues from previous eras, based on the real diaries of Jennifer Worth, but now, it feels as if they are struggling to create a story each week.

Bananarama21 · 20/02/2022 21:14

JinglingHellsBells

Completely agree some amazing stories about real life events.

RocketPanda · 20/02/2022 21:15

That was a bit of a let down.
My predictions for the Xmas special, considering Nancy's outburst about sex I reckon herself and St Christopher Patron Saint of Bronzer and Veneers have been bumping uglies like there's no tomorrow and she's secretly pregnant.
Probably not though.

littlbrowndog · 20/02/2022 21:17

Yes jingling. I neve4 watched it before but have binge watched all series. What a history on women has been a real education

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 20/02/2022 21:19

I liked the teen mum storyline. Rest was a bit flat.

Loved the bit with Nancy talking about the need of sex in front of the long term spinsters and Nuns. Grin

PriamFarrl · 20/02/2022 21:20

Well I loved it.
I know it’s bollocks but I don’t care.
And me and DH had a little cry at the idea of the baby going in the coffin. We lost our only baby at 14 weeks.

Did they film an alternative ending and decided not to go with it?

Otherwise, having a red nose and a floppy barnet is not quite what I was expecting from him.

RocketPanda · 20/02/2022 21:24

@PriamFarrl I'm so very sorry for your loss Flowers.

Pebble21uk · 20/02/2022 21:25

You can tell Heidi wrote it! What an anti-climax. Most moving storyline was Carol's. The rest was saccharine as hell!
Barbara's death was SO bloody traumatic... still can't re-watch that episode! They had a perfect opportunity to do something equally moving and threw it away. It's become a parody of itself!!
