EastEnders: Discussion Thread

[Drew]

Im 2 weeks behind, but Im loving the ridiculousness of Ben torturing his new sister with hot spoons and sheds. That kid trying to act like Tony Soprano is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

The prostitute killing which Lucas was supposed to be involved in has now been dropped, and the plot will be rewritten.

This is what would have happened:

[Drew]

So is that why Lucas was freaking out at the plans to dig up the square garden?

[DRW50]

No. He buried Denise's ex-husband, Libby's father, under that tree after killing him.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I wonder what they're going to change it to, since it's just a week before it's supposed to air.

[DRW50]

I don't know how thoroughly the plot is being changed. If it's big, then I guess the scenes may just not air and someone may be called in to play new scenes. If it's not big, then they might just reshape the scenes to scrub away the part about this woman being a prostitute, and instead Lucas might just be killing a woman with no real background.

People have been speculating on this for weeks but since we hadn't heard anything I thought they had decided to stay with the scenes.

This new site is doing an upcoming interview with Bryan Kirkwood, you can submit questions, if you'd like. I think I'll be submitting one or two, if you'd like for me to submit some of your questions, just post them in this thread.

Any questions? Anyone?

I'll be sending out my questions in a few mins.

[DRW50]

Do you have any stories in mind for Pat?

Do you have any thoughts on the current pacing of storylines and any changes you might make?

Do you have any plans to bring back Shabnam Masood?

Is there any character or family, past or present, you would consider to be the core of Eastenders?

Do you have any stories in mind for Carol?

What was your favorite time in the show's history?

What is your opinion on the current state of younger leading men in Eastenders? Do you have any plans to bring in stronger male characters?

What are your plans for the Slater family left in Walford (Mo, Kat, Alfie), since Jean, Stacey, and Charlie are leaving?

Is there any need for the second pub/club/nightclub (most recently called R&R) which often seems to exist only so it can be set on fire? If so, what plans do you have for it?

Do you have any plans to bring in new members of the Beale/Fowler family, or to recast Steven Beale?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

They can only submit a maximum of 20 questions, but I submitted your questions, along with mine. Hopefully, they pick these questions wisely and most of ours get in!

[DRW50]

I hope so. As you can see I had to edit mine down a bit as they were a bit too anti-current EE and they probably wouldn't let those be asked

Thanks for letting me know about this.

You probably already saw this but it's an interview with Simon May.

Next weeks writers are now confimed as Matt Evans, Paul Mari, Kim Revill and Richard Zajdlic

[Sylph]

Have you asked him anything about this Treadwell-Collins-related news, Y&RWorldTurner?

[Ben]

My guess is, she will not be a call girl, and will probably be some other sin related woman. If it didn't directly link into Denise getting major suss, then I bet they would've cut it all together, and not bothered. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with in such a short space of time.
