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.

    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
