Another interview of Letitia and pics from next week's 7 episodes.

Looks like she's interacting with Ian and Lucy, in addition to Phil, Max, Tanya, Jack, Shirley, and Ben.

Most would probably say none....

But next week is an exciting week for EastEnders with 7 episodes, the show was just taken over by a new EP, so next week is really her first big stamp on the show with Sharon's return and the reveal of Heather's murderer. Though, the show will still be in transition mode for a while.

There really wasn't much, aside from set-up.I think I was more happy to see Sharon, than her jilted groom and his drunk sister and the return details.

I think the rest of the week will be more in depth with her return story. I did like her car ride with Phil, and her interaction with her son. Though, calling him "Denny" will get annoying fast.

I love how 'angelic' the child appears to be, I guess they're playing up to the fact he has his father's DNA. I imagine the child will get annoying quickly though. Peopl on DS have been saying a low-key return would have been better and I think I'm inclined to agree. They always make returns sensationalist, remember Janine marrying a 90 year old man and Pat crashing the wedding? And obviously Kat and Alfie too. I loved the Ben scenes last night, such a sinister and mixed up character. Seriously dreading his departure although I know there's no way around it now.

I can't wait for Sharon's scenes with Ian and I'm hoping she will interact with Kat now due to Zoe.

I found Sharon's return to be cliche and lackluster. IMO, the perfect time to have brought Sharon back would've been when Ben was blackmailing Phil and spilling all his dirt. If I remember correctly, Phil knew about Johnny Allen planning to knock Dennis off and didn't warn him, and it never came out. Ben should've somehow got wind of it and sent a tape to Sharon (like he did Denise), which ended up bringing her back to the square p*ssed and joining forced with Denise to bring down Phil.

SN: I hope that the writers make Denise and Sharon friends. I just feel they'd be perfect friends. Probably would provide comedy to see Zaniab jealous of the new friendship too . . .tongue.png

But back to her returning, I hate that they had her son kidnapped, and hated even more when she called him "Denny" (too). And wasn't it said last night that Sharon has been back for about 6 mths in the UK? Yeah . . . Pat says hello. Picked up on that and found it to be odd. Sharon would've comeback to the Square for Pat seeing as they were close. But whatever. I'll ignore it. happy.png Could've been better but I did enjoy it -- well at least Ian & Janine's stories. Watching Ian suffer makes me so upset and I cannot wait until Ben gets his. Glad to see that they are putting Denise/Shirley back into each other's atmospheres after all this time. Few blunders but I enjoyed it and cannot wait for the newest episode to be uploaded later on today.

Well, at least that stupid kidnapping plot is out of the way and Sharon back where she belongs - on the square.

I don't understand why this show has to go completely OTT when the bring a character back in their first one or two episodes. Things should get much better now that Sharon is back in a familiar environment.

The kidnapping was rubbish, but Sharon was wonderful in yesterday's episode. The scenes with Phil, her instant spark with Jack, and touching reunion with Ian were well done. It is great having Sharon back. I am looking forward to seeing her champion Ian and making connections around the Square. She and Jack are a promising couple. I am watching regularly again.

    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Amber doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get it. While I agree with those on here that say he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that.
