eastenders - bizarre and shit

[Hellsbells]

Call out thread.

He's alright really.

he who?

What do people think of this utterly crap new 'family' of Whitney's? Maybe i've missed something somewhere, but why wouldn't that stupid mother just give her son that knife

This whole business with her mum, brother and the knife has been so long, drawn out and boring, I hardly took any interest in last night's apart from seeing her chuck the knife in the river at the end.

Boring. Zzzzzz.

Stacey's been ace this week. I've only been watching for the scenes with her and Jean.

oh - and where's Dawn? Has Gary found out about her affair yet?

I love Stacey. Watching her going to the dogs is sad

Eastenders doesn't know how to do a sub-plot properly - in and out, don't focus the whole thing on that alone for weeks, and don't pitch everything at 11 - that only helps highlight how fake the show is.

Also when Jackson died, they managed to record a little scene and stick it in, along the lines of "Did you hear about Michael Jackson?"

More of that topical stuff interweaved would be good.

"Did you hear about Enid at number 35? Dead. Swine Flu. How awful"

or "did you watch Blanche last night in Corrie, she was hilarious"

Eastender?

He can be a bit bizarre and shit, but I don't mind him tbh.

They seem to do storylines in two week bursts - a major storyline will disappear without a mention for a fortnight and then resume. I'm pretty sure this is because of the way the cast and crew are divided up when filming but it is a bloody mess.

I bet you Dotty will get a line saying her husband's got swine flu

 

[butchersapron]

Alan Jackon's died?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Alan Jackon's died?

huh?

 

[Pigeon]

Make of this what you will, o my people...but I've just got from a paer shop, where a cover of TV Now! or somesuch caught my eye, featuring as it did the headline "Ronnie's Shock Reunion!" and a picture of....Danielle!

 

[DRINK?]

A mate of mine took some photos of Natalie Cassidy this morning for a magazine article. I asked him if she was nice.

He said she made him Wellard. I laughed.

*cries for empty existence*

 

[butchersapron]

This program is over. Finito. Kaput

 

[Frankie Jack]

Did I see a clip of Boris Johnston in the Queen Vic... ???????

 

[teuchter]

We've got an open plan thing here, can't avoid whatevers on.

 

[Paul Russell]

It ended for me when Arthur Fowler died really.

What's happened since then (briefly)?

 

[goldenecitrone]

Lots of shouting, lots of misery, lots of bad acting.

 

[Paul Russell]

Lots of shouting, lots of misery, lots of bad acting.

Cheers. Doesn't sound like I missed much.

I did quite like the bit where Lucas was about to smash Stacey over the skull with a paperweight though!!

Hopefully they'll get rid of all the work experience people who've obviously been writing over summer and get some proper stories in now, though.

 

[newme]

I did quite like the bit where Lucas was about to smash Stacey over the skull with a paperweight though!!

That was fairly bizarre tbh, accidently does his ex over then was gonna smash her skull in in the living room with Patrick entering in seconds time to cover it up!

 

[butchersapron]

The at the end he was thinking about doing the other woman too!

He's a desperate man! (I assume he leaves soon because I've seen a trailer for him of something else???)

OMG, I've only just seen it:



It wouldn't have been so bad if Boris was at least playing a cameo role of sorts, but to play as himself as mayor...

So who's the father of Heather's baby then?

Surely not Darren? Minty? Billy?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

The clue is in the ice cream lid

 

[tarannau]

Eh? Has Heather got a kid with Gino Ginelli then?

 

[Griff]

The clue is in the ice cream lid

She mentioned ice-cream, but how is that a clue?

 

[girasol]

ah, come on, some of it is comedy gold! Shirley buying some unindentified bag of drugs (looked a bit yellow, fuck knows what it was) to sell, so she could pay the rent, then leaving it in her ice cream van (who buys an ice cream van in autumn???), then Pat and Peggy getting bladdered on ice cold vodca, in the ice-cream-van/ambulance, finding the drugs, thinking it was sherbet and then NOT taking it!!!

WTF???



The dad must be Phill, when he was going through his relapse? Or maybe Darren, drunk and sexually frustrated? There's no way it's Billy. Doubt it's Minty. Whoever it was they were legless when it happened

 

[Biddlybee]

Can you even still get gino ginelli?
