eastenders - bizarre and shit

Backroom Schmackroom.
But you are right. It was the loo.

Also, about three/four adults and 425 children against one man armed with a stick. And nobody thought of overpowering him?

and all those fathers outside (ie. Max and Phil etc.) and making the most feeble attempt or none at all to gain entrance and rescue their children from this absolutely terrifying mad men holding their children hostage

They were probably thinking "he ain't gonna do anyfink, he's only got a little wooden stick"

Well drunk old potato head Phil's really not much use anymore, is he. Did you see him when he was meant to be helping out Billy and Jay, and he couldn't even get to the front door b'cos he was stumbling drunkenly on the door step

When's grant coming back to sort out dopey old Phil? Is he coming back???

 

[spanglechick]

425 children

indeed - it was like the canteen at Sylvia Young.

Doubt it, wouldn't fit in with his image of hard man abroad

I felt a bit sorry for the actors last night.

Surely they could have found a better way of blowing up the cafe than that? Why did Nick need to smash a table up in order to get a car

None of it made sense.

Plus, did he not have a car parked outside?

he crashed it into the flower stall

I recall lolling because MArk spiked his beer with an LSD tab THE SIZE OF A POSTAGE STAMP.

rofl

I had some Julie acid that was unmarked and the size of a postage stamp. It were well mental. But I doubt that Nick had the right contacts tbh.


I looked at this thread to try to make some sense of Ear-benders, but you've all just MADE IT WORSE

The flower stall???

 

[magneze]

It was utter shit wasn't it.

... and what happened to Billy last week? Missed Friday's episode! Billy hasn't been mentioned at all this week, which seems weird as he either saved the day or got beaten to a pulp ...

He got beat up a bit, then testified in court against Hazell (old telly reference there ) who was sent down and whose moll of a missus then left him in the cell by chucking her wedding ring at him.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

The flower stall???

Yeah, the flowers injured the car beyond repair.

They also got wet and slippery and therefore made a quick getaway out of the question

 

[story]

I don't tune in much these days, but every time I do Billy seems to be snivelling more than he normally does. Does he have hayfever?

A lot of bad luck, but he could have hayfever as well. What trees are planted in the Square?

What got me about last night was the pissed-up party behind the chip shop counter.

WTF?

Yeah right, as if you're going to sit on the floor of a greasy chippy

I also don't believe that many people would be queueing for chips just because she's offering bags treble the size. Most people wouldn't be able to eat them

Eastenders is a brilliant reflection of working class life in London, as imagined by middle class people.

Supposedly, along with Danielle Westbrook!

It was utter shit wasn't it.

Didn't he start out as a child beater when he first arrived on The Square?

i don't remember that. I thought he was abused himself when he was a kid, growing up in a children's home.

I don't remember him going mental.
Have I forgotten it, or are you mixing him up with Northern Joe? - who wrote stuff on his chest and, I think, covered his walls with tin foil.

Are you sure you don't mean the bloke who doused Spandau Ballet bloke with petrol and who looked like a young Malcolm McDowell?

I've taken to shouting at the TV regularly when EE is on. It's just so stupid. And so many of the problems could be sorted by phoning 999. How bloody long did it take Ricky last night. Numpties the lot of them.

According to wiki

The character Billy Mitchell was introduced by producer Matthew Robinson as a guest character in November 1998, used as part of a storyline to introduce Billy's nephew, Jamie, (Jack Ryder) to the regular cast. In the storyline, Billy was caught being abusive to Jamie and he was subsequently taken in by Billy's cousin Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden). The character was only intended to appear for four episodes; however, Perry Fenwick revealed in 2006 that the role was extended by "coincidence and chance": "I was offered four episodes and here I am, about 800 later. [...] Ross Kemp (Grant) said that he was leaving, and there was a gap in the Mitchell family, so they brought me back to do stuff towards his leaving. After that they offered me a year."[1] Billy was reintroduced in 1999, making recurring appearances. He was involved in the leaving storyline of Grant Mitchell in October 1999, before returning later in the year as a regular character.

It has been noted that when Billy was first introduced, he was a "nasty piece of work".[1] However, Billy underwent a personality change circa 2002 and "became good".[1] It was revealed that Bill's nasty streak was a result of him having been abused and bullied while growing up in a children's home.[1]
