Decider December 26, 2017 Share December 26, 2017 I can't say that I am happy about the regression with Max and Stacey in the past few episodes, but Jo Joyner knocked it out of the park tonight as Tanya. 2 Link to comment
M. Darcy December 27, 2017 Share December 27, 2017 If I was Denise and Kim, I’d be worried. This show doesn’t deal kindly with sisters. 1 Link to comment
Decider December 28, 2017 Share December 28, 2017 (edited) Denise and Kim are not actually sisters (not biologically, anyway), so they're safe! I would worry more for Tina and Shirley. Edited December 28, 2017 by Decider 1 Link to comment
M. Darcy December 28, 2017 Share December 28, 2017 They do suffer so for non sisters - with Denise having to give up her baby and Kim losing hers. Well, nothing can be worse for Tina than sleeping with Billy. Death would be ever better. Link to comment

M. Darcy December 28, 2017 Share December 28, 2017 Quote I can't say that I am happy about the regression with Max and Stacey in the past few episodes I know the #1 rule of EastEnders is that no one can be happy but couldn't they let us have Martin and Stacy? I really like them as a couple. Link to comment

I was really enjoying Tanya. too. But it seems like she has vanished into thin air! It was so odd for her to be absent for those major moments with Abi's situation. Hopefully, she'll be back on screen next week. Link to comment
Decider January 2, 2018 Share January 2, 2018 Jo Joyner was in the middle of filming another project at the time she was asked to appear for Christmas, so they had to schedule her scenes around that. I suspect that much of the Christmas storylines were revised because of the producer change, but it just feels wrong and out of place that there are only brief mentions of Tanya and that she would not have been there for the birth of her grandchild, much less by the sides of both of her daughters in hospital. In fact, there isn't much mention of Abi or anyone asking about her or Lauren at all. I could see the rest of the Square maybe not knowing since none of them really interact with Max but Jack only found out about her condition today, more or less a week after the accident, and that also doesn't feel right.

M. Darcy January 2, 2018 Share January 2, 2018 Why couldn't they just let Abi leave the Square, join the others in Spain (it just seems a lot of the Square end in up Spain). and have a happy ending. Jeez, Lorna has been with the show since she was 10. And she was the only one who tried to at least get rid of Babe. Link to comment
M. Darcy May 4, 2018 Share May 4, 2018 (edited) I like Vincent! They are really getting rid of all the cast members that I like. Part of me is thinking about giving up and just waiting to catch up in 7 years when these episodes reach the states. And, part of that reason was watching the robbery storyline. Which IMO was the one of the stupidest ideas they ever had. Edited May 4, 2018 by M. Darcy Link to comment
M. Darcy October 22, 2018 Share October 22, 2018 Wow, and I thought the robbery story line was one of the stupidest ideas. Mick in jail for shooting Stuart is just as bad (though, I'm a few weeks behind, maybe it gets better. I doubt it though). Back in PBSland, we are in the middle of Lucy is acting like a total brat storyline which makes me a bit less sad that she going to be killed. Though, its very gross knowing that her and Max are going to wind up having an affair in about 7 years. Link to comment

I'm shocked that Lucy is going to wind up with Max. Unless they recast Max, I don't think he's that attractive and I don't understand how he got Tanya in the first place, and I certainly don't understand why young women like Stacey and Lucy would fall for him.

Ohwell October 23, 2018 Share October 23, 2018 I forgot to add that Max is also sleazy, so I really don't get why these women like him. Link to comment

Question for Brits - is Danny Dyer that popular in England. Because since Mick returned, he is just so annoying. Shirley should have made him actually fire her. Team Shirley! And, wow the Taylors. Its like someone remembered the Millers and thought - lets bring them back but a bit more annoying. Where are you watching the more current episodes? Link to comment

M. Darcy November 14, 2018 Share November 14, 2018 I'm still a few weeks behind (Harley still hasn't given birth yet) but man, I'm am so hating Kat. They are really having her act the bitch. Yes, Harley did sleep with Alfie but I'm on Team Harley. Especially since sleeping with Alfie is punishment enough (and Kat is one to talk considering she also cheated on Alfie). And honestly, all the shit everyone is giving Harley in the Slater household, all of them have backgrounds so they should all be a lot nicer. And, Keanu, jeez, you can do so much better than Sharon. :-) Link to comment
Chip December 24, 2018 Author Share December 24, 2018 It's always a rush for us to catch up before Christmas. Watched around 6 episodes this weekend but we made it! Link to comment
M. Darcy December 27, 2018 Share December 27, 2018 I wouldn’t have been upset if Alfie had died - between stealing from Ian, mocking Kat’s abuse and now kidnapping, shove him down those stairs again. 1 Link to comment
Chip December 28, 2018 Author Share December 28, 2018 Alfie has always been a character I liked until the last few weeks. I was expecting a rehash of when Zoe, Sam, and Chrissie killed Den. Link to comment
M. Darcy December 29, 2018 Share December 29, 2018 Alfie has always annoyed me. Mick does also - heh maybe working at the Queen Vic turns them annoying. 1 Link to comment
M. Darcy March 11, 2019 Share March 11, 2019 And so far in this year....Alfie still sucks! I'm still a few weeks behind but I doubt that has changed. And, fyi, Sean Slater is in the new Captain Marvel movie! I did not recognize Robert Kazinsky at all. Probably for the best since I would have said out loud in the theatre- Hey! That's Sean Slater!

Chip May 17, 2020 Author Share May 17, 2020 so, do we think there should be a time jump when the show starts production again? or should it just pick back up and pretend like nothing has happened? Link to comment

I go back and forth on this. The pacing of the show has been so affected by these 2 a week episodes. I like all of the stories going on right now, but feel like the Keegan story and the Whitney story are just draggggggging. Then I remember that at 4 x a week we would be moving along a lot quicker. So, to answer your question, I don’t have an answer! Lol Link to comment
Chip May 20, 2020 Author Share May 20, 2020 They will have to find some way to sync back up by Christmas for sure. Link to comment
geauxaway May 24, 2020 Share May 24, 2020 True, true. It’s really throwing me that we are headed into June and they are still in their winter coats and hats going around the square. The other night I was trying to figure out what date these were supposed to be shown. I know right about at Easter because they made mention of Easter not too long ago in one of the episodes.

TeeVee329 January 2, 2021 Share January 2, 2021 (edited) The Christmas cliffhanger with Sharon poisoning Ian's pudding was fantastic, but they kinda whiffed the payoff in the next episode. I get that Sharon's going for a slow roll with the poisoning, but still. Powerful stuff with Mick and Linda yesterday with him finally unburdening himself and the horror dawning on her face when she realized what he was saying.

michelec January 2, 2021 Share January 2, 2021 I'm a few weeks behind and only just saw Sharon and Ian's hospital bedside wedding. I was scratching my head like why is this happening, as Sharon has been so adamant since forever about not having romantic feelings. But now knowing it's part of some part of a get back plan against Ian, can't wait to see how it unfolds. 1 Link to comment

sas616 April 21, 2021 Share April 21, 2021 Cannot believe Monday's episode did not load on Britbox and I missed what happened to Kush. Though Grey's behavior made it obvious he was involved. Loved how Whit screamed at him and said "You killed him." Little does she know. Link to comment

TeeVee329 April 30, 2021 Share April 30, 2021 I never would have guessed Nancy's secret. I think it could make for some interesting family drama, as both Mick and Linda really get a lot of their identity and self-worth from being parents and now Nancy's choosing not to have kids. Link to comment
TeeVee329 September 7, 2021 Share September 7, 2021 (edited) Hi Janine! I LOVED, when Chelsea said she'd kill for Janine's shoes, Denise's dry retort that murder's probably how Janine got them. Edited September 7, 2021 by TeeVee329 Link to comment

M. Darcy October 20, 2021 Share October 20, 2021 I can’t decide if Billy is being stupid or the writers forgot but of course Jay would have an issue with Janine moving in. We’re just saw the old episodes here - last time Janine moved in with Billy and Jay she set him up so that Peggy think he stole from her and basically helped push him to run away. Link to comment
