I think Dee has had the worst relationships in any soap!

Lucas killed his first wife with a rake. Then he imprisoned Dee and pretended she was dead. He was a great villain.

Lucas was gorgeous, it’s a shame he was such a vile individual though !

Oh yes, they love a shovel attack on EE. lol
They should lock them up along with their back doors at times.
It was nice seeing Lucas in prison with Dee visiting whenever that was.
I often wonder why we don’t see some actors on tv in other things after they leave EE as he was one of the better villains they have had, not seen him in anything else on tele.

He’s been in the latest series of death in paradise

i wasn’t sure at first about him as they are usually quirky leads but he grew on me

I don’t watch ‘ death in paradise’ ( maybe I should !)

It’s one of my favourites

lots of EE actors have turned up in it over the years

I've watched DiP a few times and I did see one with Don Gilet - he's completely different from Lucas! Such a good actor.

Michelle Ryan (Zoe Slater) is returning to the show according to some reports today.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. But at least it will give Kat something to do.

They will have to up their current storylining and writing game if these returns (Max, Zoe) are going to be worth watching.

Didn’t like Zoe much , she was a bit of a misery.
She fell out with Kat and co and disappeared to the US or something like that. I don’t think they are close, but they may make up if she is back. For what reason she’s back is going to be interesting too! Hardly any slaters left there now.

The main Zoe storyline I remember is her getting pregnant by Den to fool Dennis it was his baby and staying with her. Yuck! Actually having said that, sleazy Max is probably her type!

It was actually Den’s idea for Zoe to trick Dennis about the baby, so that he could have sex with Zoe. It was a really grim story.

There was also the storyline with Dr Anthony Truman who was sleeping with Zoe and Kat . Plan was for him to take a post in Scotland and for Zoe to go with him.
He was engaged to one of them but cannot recall which one .

Sooo, lots of Mum and Daughter tangled liasons ( Den/Dirty Den + Zoe ....Anthony + Kat/Zoe ,,, Max/Bradley;+ Stace .... Chelsea/Dee + Jack , Chelsea/Dee + Ravi ) to knock along with the Sisters liasons

(They should maybe think of looking Outside of E20 <Gasp> )

She's nearly as bad as Max (although no one is as bad as Max!)

Dennis was also shagging Shaz while he was seeing Zoe....

Didn’t Zoe and Chrissie kill Dirty Den? Or were there more of them ?
I remember her going out with the fit bloke ( Dennis ?) and he was seeing Sharon too. Big fight at Christmas time in the pub and the Turkey wasn’t eaten ( again )

Chrissie killed Den. Zoe and Sam helped Chrissie bury Den’s body.

Oh yes, Sam ! I liked Sam. She was put away for that murder wasn’t she? Framed !

Zoe Chrissie and Sharon wasn't it ?

Den grabbed Chrissies ankle and called them The Three Witches !
Really violent bit where he slammed her head onto the fruit machine , for Eastenders that was fierce .

Bianca and Dan who was Carol's partner (Dan and Bianca were history )
And she nearly got it on with David ( her Dad! ) who was Caroles ex.

Dirty Den was awful back then , they made a mistake having him back even if the ‘ ‘ello princess ‘ bit was iconic !

Grant and Tiffany and her Mum ( cannot remember her name ) Tiff heard it on the baby monitor

Grant was vile to Tiffany! Everyone goes, oh I love Grant , but honestly he was a scum bag to all his wives and girlfriends.

Grant was awful but had occasional moments of kindness. His behaviour was always explained away by PTSD from fighting in the Falklands.

Tiffany’s mum was called Louise. They do love to reuse a name on EE.

I had forgotten Tiffany’s mum. I remember a baby monitor and her hearing something, but it’s vague.
Grant was horrible to Sharon. I know she had an affair blah blah, but he really made her suffer. He could be a nasty one , but yes, they said it was PTSD etc, which some of it was I suppose ( tbf)

Having just watched this weeks episodes have to agree that it was absolute nonsense. Honey sitting on the sofa with Nigel, calmly munching popcorn after just witnessing and covering up up a death of someone she knows is just ridiculously out of character. I know they are trying to show she’s a real Mitchell now but still.

No-one seemed the least bit concerned Zack was dead and no-one seemed particularly surprised when he then turned up alive. It was all a shrug of the shoulders and oh ok, have a cup of tea and Barney meet your new dad. The final scene with the Mitchell’s laughing over the board game after all the revelations and just a few hours previously Harry tried to strangle his mum….it was just surreal.
