And how about that sexual tension, eh? I wonder if Tony and Simon will get it on?

Feh. How come every time somebody decides to torch one of the buildings, it just hapens to be on the night that somebody else has snuck into it? And how come every gay relationship has to come with denial and self-doubt?

And, while I'm at it, why are they torching the Watts' club anyway? The Mitchells don't own a stake in it, so they're not going to get the insurance money from it. If it's supposed to take out the snooker club as well (funny how there's never been any mention of precisely where that was up until a couple of days ago), how come torching the snooker club itself would only "risk" Sharon's place?

Looking for consistency in Eastenders is like looking for a condom machine in the Vatican.

Is it me or has the saga of Transplant Tariq, Secret Half-Brother been dragging on for an absurdly long time even by 'Enders standards? Not sure what to make of last night's tribute to The Streets, either. He's rubbish and he can't rap, you know.

That's an Eastenders special - make the music match the onscreen action. Preferably in as clumsy and obvious way as possible. See also: Alfie doing a good deed for Kat while Shane Ritchie's Comic Relief song plays in the background.

Yes, did make me wonder how much the Streets were paying for that.

I am very much hoping that dennis watts gets back into a main storyline soon. He's far to hot to waste on a second of meaningful "look" every episode.

Eastenders is *so* joyous at the moment. That's tomorrow's activities sorted, then.

It's been shit for more than a year, with previously entertaining characters hopelessly mismanaged, Return of Ol' Dirty Den utterly botched, and a whole host of deadbeats introduced. I stopped watching altogether for the first time in years.

Can ROSS! KEMP! save the day, with his FrankMilleresque blend of monosyllabic posturing and fascist ultimaviolence?

Or will 'ello Mum lead to as much disappointment as 'ello Princess?

It took the Mitchell boys a hell of a long time to saunter out of the 4X4 given that their dear old ma was getting a chinning in the Square, didn't it? Do you think they sat there on the plush leather seats and murmured: "Shall we get out now?"
"Nah, let Billy get out first and sort this out. We'll amble out in a minute. For dramatic effect, like."

And why do the scriptwriters insist on having totally unrealistic conversations between young people? These unconvincing dialogues really grate, case in point Martin and Sonia's conversation last night. Young people just don't talk like that.

But Sonia's a tortured soul...

Young people just don't talk like that

Sax, lovey, I know it's hard, but there comes a time in everyone's life when they have to accept that they *don't really understand* the young people anymore, that their ways have become strange.

I suspect that you're now going through something similar to what happened to me when those Beatles first appeared.

Eloi Tsabaoth

Young people just don't talk like that.

Indeed, I am led to understand they would instead have conducted the entire conversation via the method of the 'text message'.

Just been reading Christmas and New Year spoilers, as the painfully forced 'one character's monologue linking to two other characters' storylines' thing - less subtle than Watchmen, ffs - and grossly sentimental "happy ending" intro to the end credits music - *again* - had me shaking my head in disbelief and wondering if it can possibly get any worse.

It does.

Weren't the BBC admitting that viewers were sick and tired of all the stupid 'gangster' bullshit not too long ago? Weren't they also saying that they realised they had to move away from the sensational storylines, where the writers only ever think of next week's ratings, and back to character-driven stuff? I'm suddenly wondering that was just a dream I had.

Needs more cyborgs.

Cyborgs with drink problems. Yes.

I've been drawn into Eastenders again recently and I have a quick question regarding Pauline's husband Joe Mercer. I remember some Rear Window-esque spying by Dot on Joe and his mate, Bert, a couple of weeks back. I thought he and his slovenly friend were secretly gay but no, apparently, Joe has a criminal past. Was the gay thing ever a storyline (that has now been dropped)or am I just confusing him with someone else/imagining it all?

Jub

07:12 / 25.04.06

Hiya, - I think it was that they were in jail together. The old ex - lovers story line would have been a hoot though.

Regrettable Juvenilia

07:15 / 25.04.06

Shrug - you're confusing him with Pauline's friend Derek, whom she was interested in but who was in fact gay. Easy to confuse them since they were both kind-hearted but tedious duffers. Just because there's a little snow on the roof, doesn't mean... I forget the rest.

Shrug

15:49 / 25.04.06

Ta both.

Jub, have a Phil screenmate

For you Gundetta, a Kat one.

They're, really horribly annoying after two minutes but nevertheless....

I'm v.sorry that this isn't the storyline, though. Bah.

Tryphena Absent

I watched an episode of Eastenders the other day. I garnered that Sonia had dumped Martin for another woman. Am I wrong?

Shrug

18:22 / 25.04.06

Not wrong but, in fact, right, Nina. While Martin and Sonia eventually worked through their problems, her poor old Grandad Jim had more of a problem coming to terms. An emotional, tearful reunion was, of course, imminent. 'Twas quite touching really. I do love 'enders sometimes.

Shrug

18:20 / 08.04.08

Why is Janine back? What is happening? Should I be watching and who is Rusty Lee?

Anna de Logardiere

19:25 / 08.04.08

Rickaaay

Shrug

00:08 / 09.04.08

Yes, indeed, Bee-an-khu and Rickaaaay.
I haven't been this excited since the Dot-centric monologue episode.

Anna de Logardiere

08:12 / 09.04.08

It's truly beautiful and I am grateful that BBC3 repeat it at 10pm or I would always forget it was on!

Anyone see that clip of Rusty Lee on T.V.s Believe it or not?
