eastenders - bizarre and shit

What I dont understand is how evryone comes by their money in Eastenders. Ian Beale was potless a few years ago and all of a sudden he has money to lend Phil in return for a mortgage on the Vic. The same Vic that Pat wanted to buy, the same Pat that used to be potless. And how the hell do Phila dn Peggy own the Vic anyway? It seems that it chnges hand frequently or is gambled away, mortgaged etc. And how has Roxy made so much money she can afford to dimiss losing £150k when Sam buggered off. Its obviously piss easy to make a fortune in the eastend, I'm thinking of moving. Beside which the pub trade is screwed, but never any talk of lack of business in the Vic, and why has Ian lent money to Phil anyway, this is the same Phil that was trying to rob him blind only a week ago!!
 
oh dear. the christmas episode was just taking bizarre to new extremes. i think we counted 9 potential suspects for archie's murder.

oh dear indeed! talk about overkill..!:eek: first it's a repeat of den's storyline more or less... i don't buy the mitchells leaving the vic just like that, and janine prancing about the sq like that.. no no no... the actors deserve better writing than that :eek: except for sam...
 
sam is just awful. why they didn't get kim metcalfe back to play her is just weird. westbrook can't act for shit.
 
Don't watch it - haven't for years. My problem was that anytime someone tried to better themselves, leave the square/go to uni - they were outcast or always being persuaded it wasn't a good thing. Even simple things, one character served a lentil dish in the Vic & it was treated with contempt - as if a different food choice was evil.

I am aware I prob read too much into it :D

Seriously, I had a big problem with the storylines given to "minorities" - they always seemed to be half arsed and begrudging. And don't get me started with various Irish characters. Eddie get murdered, his da is a heavy drinker, Aiden was a junkie, Travis from Blake's 7's Irish mate was a drinking, fighting, murdering brickie... and to cop it all, that dreadful time the Beale/Fowler clan went to Oireland - every single cliche was there. Donkeys in the street, pub brawls, drinking like mad :mad:

I know it's just a soap but by Christ it's so wrong. :(

There was a massive deal made out of the all black character episode earlier this year. I'd just assumed it was a significant episode devoted to Patrick and his family, but it was trumpeted as some sort of landmark thing. Odd.

They made a massive thing out of the Tavernier family years ago - said it was going to be a much more realistic portrayal - whatever that means in 'Enders publicity blurb.
