Eastenders #3

[Peonyrose]

Nothing makes sense in EastendersThe square is the size of a postage stamp, yet we get random muggings, an Eastern European crime gang, random pick ups in the gym and said pick up then deciding to socialise in the same square he had a one night stand inEveryone is related to each other and children disappear once they are born.

Would have been a much better plot twist if Tina had shown up to the wedding. Though I know a lot of people were expecting a repeat of ‘you ain’t my muva’ with Dotty and Sandy. I guess Dotty will be sleeping in the club from now on, but I think her being the one to expose Rocky was such a weak storyline. Why on earth has Whitless not gone to Karen or Mitch with what she knows?

Also nothing against the actress of Scarlett, she’s very good but I just find her such a pointless character! I could not care less whether Janine had custody of her or not. And of course she was awake while Janine slagged off the Slater’s to Mick If I have to hear the words ‘lamb chop’ when more time I might just lob a brick at my TV

I get honey is supposed to be too nice for her own good and all but… she could definitely get a new shop job within a day

It's absolutely ridiculous that she is allowing her employer to deny her right to holidays, change her hours without consultation and slap her which is technically assault

And why has Peter morphed into a younger version of his dad all of a sudden

 

[Mr Krabs]

If someone posted on a mum forum that they were being abused, trying to escape a violent husband, and then suddenly went silent, people would be trying to track them down. Email was under her real name so wouldn’t be hard for the mods to find out that she’d died and raise the alarm.

Merry Christmas everyone - there’s a special treat for December

Also, why did none of the people hanging around watching try and catch Tommy?

 

[Lovelula]

Do Grey's kids ever stop having accidents at school?

This is the first episode back at 30 minutes and it really does make a difference!

Also, it felt like actual Eastenders again almost as if the camera was moving with them, instead of the camera being still and them moving around it

I just wanna say that the baby is cursed, a Branning kid being born under the queen vic roof where 2/4 of its siblings have fallen off and died

Found it gross how Jack was interrogating Linda. He’s generally one of the nicer blokes on the square and Linda was clearly in no state for such a conversation. I felt uncomfortable watching.

Hate Ruby she is so spiteful when someone doesn’t do what she wants. Also Lilly getting the weed from Jeans garage was laughable. Just a convenient/lazy way for the grow to be discovered. We never saw any evidence that Lily was even aware of the shed grow before that.

I really don’t like the new Liam. He was so sweet when he left the square and it just feels like he’s had a personality transplant. The constant changing of actors and therefore the character’s behaviour is one of the reasons I went off watching. It just feels too weird when someone looks and acts the complete opposite to how they did a year or so ago.

Killing off Denny was a mistake I always thought the writers would regret it, especially when he's a bit older! Den watts grandson i wonder what would have become of him

No tattlers on the square who would've thought to look on forums 12 months ago then

Mia is so cute. I hope she doesn't get written out of the show if and when Gray gets put in prison. I wonder if Whitney will even be able to make the connection to Gray killing Kush and Tina.

Watching a compilation of Gray and Chantelle scenes on YouTube as I wasn’t a regular watcher at the time of the storyline and it’s enough to make you feel physically sick. Poor, poor Chantelle. These relationships are so much more complex than being told by strangers online to leave your marriage. When she followed the advice you see on here, she was killed. She was being emotionally and physically tortured by Gray. She was r*ped by her husband into trying for a baby she didn’t want. She had to act like it was all her fault in an attempt to keep him calm and even that didn’t work. She probably thought the consequences of leaving him would be worse than the abuse she suffered with him and she was right. It is just horrible that she never got a happy ending but it was done for the women who never got their escape from violent, misogynistic, waste of air men.

Exactly , and the problem is, he never actually meant to kill her. He just happened to push her too hard in the wrong place one time. He was never a killer as such. He was an abusive person who ‘accidentally’ killed his partner. It happens all too often. So for him to become a serial killer is extremely unlikely and very unrealistic so EE have dropped the ball massively with that story line. I am in no way excusing that kind of behaviour. But to begin with, it was showing the devastating effects of DV behind closed doors whilst maintaining the illusion of a happy and loving relationship on the outside. They were really good at showing the turmoil that happened after he killed chantelle to then suddenly become a heartless serial killer? It just doesn’t sit right

Just caught up. Liam’s a right prick and miles from what he used to be so I’m glad he’s gone, don’t really care for Tiffany either but am hoping Keegan finds out the truth about the letter and they’re reunited.
What is with Chelsea? She keeps complaining that Gray isn’t bringing in much money but then sabotages his chances of keeping clients. I can see him losing it with her and her becoming his latest victim. Hopefully that’ll lead to him getting found out for all the other people he’s killed.

I’m living for Janine using her old Jewish alias from her sham wedding to introduce herself

 

[paigelemonade]

Watching this reminded me of how good EE use to be. The Mitchell family was so elite, I don’t think EE will ever recover from killing off Ronnie and Roxy tbh

 

[Foodaholic]

I felt so uneasy watching what Nancy did to Frankie. Very bizarre behaviour especially from a grown woman. Didn't like that at all.

20 years ago today, Patrick Trueman made his first appearance

“Yeah Man”

 

[hol20x]

That felt more like the build up to a Christmas Day episode for me. There was too much filler, no need for the Phil/Kat/Sharon/Janine stuff.

Oh god I just searched the Sonia nudes and I’m scarred for life
