Members DaytimeFan Posted October 1, 2014 Members Share Posted October 1, 2014 I had to check to see Barbara Windsor's special cameo...and while, yes, it seemed like she was playing more Babs than Peggy (I really think the hair has something to do with it), I loved seeing her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 2, 2014 Members Share Posted October 2, 2014 It's a twofer with deadly dull Tamzin Outhwaite. She intros the BBC programming for the day of Who Shot Phil? A promo I'd never seen before, from around the time Mel was kidnapped by Dan. I didn't realize they were already doing these artsy-fartsy promos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TimWil Posted October 5, 2014 Members Share Posted October 5, 2014 So apparently a "legendary character" will soon be recast. I think it's a pretty safe bet that it will be Martin Fowler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 5, 2014 Members Share Posted October 5, 2014 I wonder what the point would even be. Do they need someone else to remind us how inferior everyone is compared to Phil/Shirley/The Carters? If this is for Sonia, why bother? Just have them split offcamera. Given how poor DTC's casting has been they might as well just bring in someone random like Bruce Forsyth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted October 6, 2014 Members Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Well, Jim Branning might be killed off now after John Bardon's passing and Dot might need one more love interest so...Bruce Forsyth as Charlie's long-lost brother? Heh. A Martin recast makes sense because Sonia's back, she lives in Walford (as does he, apparently) and his name's been mentioned more than a few times since her return. I'm getting a teensy bit irritated by the resistance (tinged with teenaged girl fervor) to the very idea of a Michelle recast. Sue Tully left the show in 1996 and will probably never return. Michelle is Sharon's best friend and is in possession of the show's longest held secret: Grant is the father of her son. It's time they finally recast Michelle.

Members DRW50 Posted October 6, 2014 Members Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm terrified of what they would even do to Michelle. I have a feeling they'd have her as a shrew and Phil would win Mark Jr. from her side as he learns her son is a true Mitchell. So did you see this week's shows? I read a little about them. Sometimes I'm alarmed at how little interest I have in what EE has become. And it's annoying fans just make matters worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted October 6, 2014 Members Share Posted October 6, 2014 I did see the wedding episodes. A lot of it was entertaining but Friday's was pretty bad, mostly because I didn't buy for one second Dean screaming out "I LOVE YOU!" to his poor excuse for a mother much less trying to arrange her escape. It was about as believable as a weepy Phil allowing a sobbing Ian to collapse in his arms, which he did in the afternath of Lucy's murder. Matt DiAngelo's acting was so bad that it only heightened how ludicrous it was for Dean to have such a radical change of heart toward his disgusting mama. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 10, 2014 Members Share Posted October 10, 2014 Short but effective cameo from a certain Eastenders legend here. Another teaser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 10, 2014 Members Share Posted October 10, 2014 You have to see who is in this ad to believe it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 10, 2014 Members Share Posted October 10, 2014 Another familiar face at 2:45. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted October 10, 2014 Members Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hilarious bit of Ross Kemp in that ad, DRW50, thsnks. I actually saw Kemp as The Queen's Henchman in a panto production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in Wimbledon about 10 years ago. I'll never forget this one joke: Buttons: I gather you're a member of SAS? The Queen's Henchman: Yes, I am. Buttons: Very impressive. I've always admired what you Special Air Service chaps have accomplished. The Queen's Henchman: What are you talking about? I'm a member of the Sondheim Appreciation Society. I think the only ones in the audience who got that joke were me and my agent friend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted October 13, 2014 Members Share Posted October 13, 2014 They're recasting Martin Fowler: http://www.soapsquawk.co.uk/news/eastenders-confirm-recast-of-martin-fowler.php#results At this point, just have him return briefly so he and Sonia can leave again, please... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted October 18, 2014 Members Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) DRW50, are you watching EE again? I BEG you to please watch tonight's UK episode if you can. Maria Friedman is FABULOUS as Linda's mother Elaine and her scene with Dean in the gents at The Vic is something I'd hate you to miss out on.

Members DRW50 Posted October 18, 2014 Members Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'm mostly boycotting EE until DTC is gone. I don't like him and I don't like his fans. But if the scene is on Youtube let me know and I will watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
