You're probably going to puke Carl, but I am looking forward to Friday's episode when Janine declares her love for Ryan as he leaves. The spoiler pics look very sweet and romantic. LOL!

I love scenes like that. You know, when one person is leaving, but the person that loves them and wants them to stay goes after them and gets them in the end and they share a kiss. LOL!

I like Janine and Ryan.

I'm not going to puke, but I am confused. Can you tell me when she even decided she loved Ryan? She threw him over for Archie without much regret. She has mourned Archie for months and said he's the only man she loved. Meanwhile, Ryan suddenly started scolding Janine over her personal choices even though he came on the show as a somewhat sleazy, bad boy (at least he's forgotten he's related to Whitney -- can't blame him there).

I think this is just being done so that Janine can freak out over Stacey and the baby. It's always this big plot driven stuff with her, they don't bother to write for the character. I think they see her as some type of Dynasty figure.

I don't know, I think I always saw that they had feelings for one another underneath it all, but were too proud to admit it. They've developed a strange co-dependency with one another, I think it's only natural. Then again, I know quite a few relationships that started this way.

And yeah, it's probably done so they can cause a rift whenever it's revealed Ryan is the father of Stacey's baby. With Stacey's luck, I'm wondering if that baby will even live to see his/her first birthday.

It all just looks so romantic in pictures. LOL!

They never knew what to do with her. Being used as Jack's piece is degrading. Who can forget the notorious coke addiction that lasted for about 2 weeks. Knowing Eastenders, Libby will probably be the one who stays forever.

Apparently, Emilia di Girolamo was lured back to EastEnders to write one final episode that's "big." :unsure:

She goes on to say she's agreed to do another episode and they will both air in August, which will be well into the new Bryan Kirkwood regime.

Funny enough, she also Tweeted with Daran Little and her final two episodes will be airing the same week as his episode:

I wonder who her favourite Script Editor is? I think she originally left EastEnders to write for the UK edition of Law & Order.

I don't think it's unrealistic for them to fall in love but it's more that I don't think they have bothered to tell a story where Janine has ever loved him. He did seem to care for Janine, but she rejected him over and over for Archie and his memory. I don't think she'd care about Ryan unless they wanted her to be used to prop Stacey.

Wasn't that script editor the one who was around during the generally awful 2006 period?

      Thanks @soapfan770 . Sheri seems to have a much different take on Emma's husband than I remember the show having.

      Lucky said he’s gonna travel this summer with Aidan. It was a quick line. Willow looks dumber by the day somehow.

      Ewww....I love MKA, but GL wasted her returns. I do think she sleeps with Ross, or gets darn close.   So...against my better judgment, I slid into '86 to find Vanessa confessing to Henry about being pregnant...and it's NOT William Roerick, DAMN IT. It's some damn temp Henry. But then it gets weirder because I'm listening in German, and it's the same voice fooling me.

      I hope the writers understand how pathetic and stupid Willow looks in order to continue this madness with Drew. Willow has become a laughingstock. Lucky didn't say goodbye to Aidan? Pathetic!!! Maybe then she can buy clothes that fit her. The blouse she had on today was three sizes too big.

      I really enjoyed the first half of season 9. It was dark but Emma, Angela, Lance and Richard were front and center.  Pilar and Frank were finally interesting.  Charley, Michael and Genele came in and caused a lot of drama.  It was even sexier. I also liked the new into theme music. Then the second half of the season went to hell.

      Something that I love about Dani is that despite her issues with Bill, she's always encouraged her daughters to have a relationship with him. I also believe that she does have a great amount of love for him which is why she is so hurt that he's sick. I've loved them including her in his recovery. It feels real and their chemistry is just insane so any chance for more of it is welcomed. That would be the perfect karma. Kat needs to learn boundaries and not be so impulsive, but I still feel like the Duprees are going to clear Leslie. How? I don't know, but that's what I think is going to happen. I feel like she'll get some kind of blackmail over them which will cause them to clear the slate. Of course the show never goes where you expect so I'm sure they'll do something different but I'm definitely curious how she will manage this.

      The story has been glossed over and taken over by the lunacy redux. I wonder if they noticed how poorly the ratings are with the Liam story and went all lunacy.
