eastenders - bizarre and shit

[spanglechick]

Ooh, Colin from the 80s is coming back to the show.
Dot's probably the only one who would remember him.

Dot and Ian.

Edit- and Sharon.

 

[spanglechick]

Ooh, and Kathy.

 

[zoooo]

Oh wow, you're right. They can have a right old knees up.

Surely if EE was true to reality it would have been taken over by Yuppies or whatever they are called these days, or the square demolished and in its place a high rise apartment block built with penthouses costing in excess of £2m!

who was Colin?

 

[Geri]

I think I vaguely remember him. Was he gay?

 

[spanglechick]

First gay tv kiss. Mid eighties.

Played by Michael Cashman iirc.

 

[zoooo]

He was very cute back then. Now he's a politician.

 

[metalguru]

Not sure I can take much more of Les Coker's acting.

On the plus side for Enders, pleased to see Sonia finding her backbone and standing up to Shirley Carter.

 

[zoooo]

Les and his wife are both massive over actors.
The Sonia rant was marvellous.

 

[crustychick]

woohoo Denise! I mean it was fucking obvious this was going to happen, but still, I'm pretty excited

can't believe it isn't Kush's! fucksake. this is going to go well

that was fucking awful. terrible terrible acting.

 

[zoooo]

that was fucking awful. terrible terrible acting.

I only saw him arrive seconds before the duff duff moment, I assume there was more of him in the next ep. Was it something about Dot not wanting to go to his wedding because it was two men? I thought she was past that sort of bollocks.

yes, it was horrendous. really staged acting. Dot being all homophobic due to her "religion" and then eventually going (although we didn't see it) with Sonia, after she talked Dot into it. An awful bit in the Vic too with him talking to young Jonny about how bad it was in his day, while lamenting the loss of Paul. all a bit weird and pointless?

Oh god, that sounds so cringeworthy.

 

[D'wards]

Just caught a bit of Enders for the first time in 20 years. The 10 minutes I saw was well good - like Titanic on a budget

 

[skyscraper101]

Incredibly cringe inducing Queen death tribute scenes in the Vic (clearly hastily filmed) tonight.
