Thanks for the transcript and the video, both of you!!

Wasn't expecting this. Kirkwood has some kind of odd charisma about him, he always has. And he's wearing the flannel shirt which most gay soap producers and characters seem to wear...

I'm glad to hear Carol will be getting a story that will change her world. I wonder if she will have an illness.

The line about seeing whether people deserve to be on Eastenders might rankle some but I think he has a point, and most of his firings so far have been correct.

Interesting to see a glimpse of Kat and Alfie. Shane's facelift hasn't been TOO damaging but I hope he will still have the expressiveness he used to have.

Steve is going a great job as Phil but the snot pouring out of his nose was gross lol, was it real snot?

Lily was such a cutie when she was sitting in Stacey's lap and smiling at Jean.

Ryan is way too hot for Janine, I like her as a bitch but I don't like her pudgy face.

I love Billy he is so sweet, he should have more scenes.

Im going to miss Peggy, the Mitchell family will not be the same without her. :(

I am missing Madeline Duggan already as Lauren. She was very pretty, sweet but was rebellious at the same time. I saw the pic of the new Lauren she looks mean, too old and fugly.

Today's episode:

I thought it was fantastically gripping from start to finish. Much better than that overrated sh!t of a Live episode.

Lacey Turner and Steve McFadden were both fantastic.

I don't think it even mattered that no one died, not even Peggy. The real loss was the Vic, which is a character in itself on the show, and the thing Peggy probably loves as much as her faaaamily.

Realistic reaction from Zainab as well, given that she supposedly went through a bad fire years ago.

Poor Stacey getting slapped by Pat and then being trapped with Lily upstairs.

I kind of thought Phil would die when the roof collapsed on him...

Glad to see Janine shouting, "Where's Pat!??!"

I thought the scenes with Ryan rescuing Lily and Stacey were heartwarming, and then when they were all on the street, Stacey tells him "She's your's ....she's your daughter." and Ryan froze was well done.

It was nice that you also got to see everyone's reactions, even people who didn't go to Janine and Ryan's reception. You had people like Ian, Patrick, Denise, and Carol running out of their houses to see what was going on and to witness the centerpiece of Albert Square - The Vic burn to the ground.

I'm surprised Peggy didn't run back in to get her precious Queen Victoria bust. :lol:

They also dropped hints about Ronnie's pregnancy in this episode. Like Roxy yelling to her to help, and Ronnie said rubbing her stomach, "I can't!"

Oh, and drunk Dot was hilarious, especially when she was dancing around. :lol:

Anyway, this episode just flew by, and was very entertaining and well-written from start to finish. I know it's a special/stunt episode, but I thought it was rather well executed, acted, directed, and written.

    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
    • no argument here! and as she was singing, i kept wondering how many verses ‘amazing grace’ had. looked it up: 13 — 13! — and i think she must have sung  every one. 
    • Yasss, ANITA!!! GET HER!!!   Awww at Smitty calming Martin down.   'Oh, you're the one leaving.' That face like stone. Go 'head, Nicole.    Eva vs Kat...the gift that keeps giving.    
    • I have to admit I still have a nagging complaint about timelines - Why aren't we allowed to know how long Ted and Nicole have been married or how old Kat and Eva are? Or for that matter, when Anita last released an album? BTG is a new show with no SORAS or timewarping. MVJ and Guza are working from a fresh bible. There is no need to be so coy about ages and anniversaries, especially when most of the storylines are driven by past events.
    • It was an extremely rare interview even then - I was shocked when I read it (as mentioned I'd forgotten just how far in she went). You could see how hurt and annoyed she was. I'm surprised he thought she came up with the baby story herself. She and Charles Keating did a good job with the material but it was absolute hokum. Even if they loved Carl and Rachel (and clearly they did), I don't see them coming up with stuff that, frankly, read like Geocities fan fic. Malone was clearly hobbled by NBC and P&G, but re-using so many of his old stories and his soap bible instead of actually coming up with material suited to the characters or show did not help. It was also fascinating reading her comments about Rachel being in her, fighting back against the writing, and how she had to try to mediate. Reminds me of Marie Masters talking about how hard it was to say goodbye to Susan when she'd been with her for 40 years. That subject is always compelling, that duality. And it reminds me of Eddie Drueding's comments a year or two earlier about Rachel losing her drive. Clearly Victoria saw her the same way.
    • Seeing this trash get good ratings says nothing good about daytime audiences. It's embarrassing.
    • Cat does feel committed to being a goofball (the other term has been reconsidered in recent years).  I wonder, given her brother Aaron, if Cat was less attractive prior to the surgery?  Remember the 1973 movie The Girl Most Likely to?  My fanfic for the moment is Cat commenting on how people treat her differently now that she is gorgeous.  One assumes that pre-surgery, Cat never had two men fighting over her for a date.  So, it might be fun to see that side of the story.
    • It's probably one of the only conflicts the story will have, aside from Dante being upset with Lulu when the truth comes out. They really needed someone else who actually knows Gio is Dante and Brook Lyn's son and kept quiet.
