Members DRW50 Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 Thanks for posting those. The guy who plays Tamwar seemed kind of out of it. I love Nina Wadia. She's hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 Shirley and Kat meet on Thursday. I hear they eventually become friends of some sort. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z-4Yn6sY7M?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z-4Yn6sY7M?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z-4Yn6sY7M?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> I do hope we get to see other facets of Kat. EastEnders always seems to have female characters yelling and getting into arguments with everyone when they return, like they did with Bianca previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm loving the humor on the show these days, they do it quite effortlessly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 Today's episode: Kat (to Janine): This is Ryan's an' all! :lol: Janine was great in today's episode, it totally felt like the character was back in her golden era of 2001-2004. She would react this way to finding out about Lily. I think they're building to the older and more sinister Janine coming back. Ryan was vile to Stacey and Lily, but I guess he didn't mean anything he said. It's good that they had Stacey tell him about how Lily would wonder about where her father is and how there would be a void in her life, since Stacey lost her father at a young age. It's totally Kat to stick up for Stacey against Janine. Though, I do think they're kind of trying to build sympathy for Alfie at Kat's expense in a way, by having her constantly ordering him around and being pissed at him, though a lot of that was played for comedy. Good to see Pat support Janine. Nice that they remembered that Alfie and Patrick knew each other well. I wonder why they haven't done a scene between Alfie and Ian yet, since they were quite close, but I guess that's to come. I'm liking new Lauren so far, and I thought she had great sisterly chemistry with Abi today. I can finally buy Lauren as Abi's big sister. The Fatboy and Grace scenes were nice, I'm surprised they didn't have Dot console Fatboy, since they've gotten close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 Kat was annoying in this episode. Less is more. Janine was awesome though. This woman has balls! I'll miss seeing Leon, when are they leaving? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 Zsa Zsa and Leon's last episode is Thursday. They leave separately though... I wonder if they' ll even bother having Zsa Zsa say goodbye to Shirley... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 Does the gay guy (I'm still not too down with names lol) ever have a story of his own or is he essentially a less flamey version of Antony Cotton's role on Corrie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 Christian was brought in specifically to NOT be Antony Cotton, but for his first year and a half that's basically what he was, with added weepy melodrama. Christian's early stories were about trying to figure out if mentally ill teenager Steven Beale was gay, then after Steven fled town because of all the horrible writing, he settled into the comic relief role in the Beale family. When he wasn't comic relief or a talk-to for BFF (when the writers remember -- they forgot for almost a year) Roxy, he was having stories over the miseries of being gay, from being gay-bashed by a trick to weeping over his mother's coldness and bigotry. He finally got his big story in summer 2009 when "Chryed" began, a story which has been very popular, although it's had a lot of black holes/gaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 So he's still on? I guess we'll see that story in half a year or something. I can actually see the thought that he wouldn't be a character like Cotton's (well largely cuz he's not so completely stereotypically gay) but as you say, so far from what I've seen, he essentially fills the exact same role regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yes. The main difference is that Cotton's stories did not rely so much on stereotypes of gay men sleeping around, being beaten up, being miserable and isolated. He's still on the show. He's a popular character, although he isn't on that much, in part due to John Partridge's busy schedule. I think he has had less than a half-dozen scenes with the Beales for all of 2010. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 Haven't seen today's episode yet, but I hear Stacey beating the sh!t out of Janine was pretty graphic and upset some people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 I haven't yet either, but sorry, there is no way Janine wouldn't wipe the floor with her. But didn't you say this was part of some plan of Janine's? Actually, there is no one that Janine couldn't take, even Kat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
