Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 17, 2011 Members Share Posted January 17, 2011 Pics from tomorrow's episode, which would have been a Carol/Bianca two-hander, but had to be expanded: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2/eastenders/scoop/a298496/unseen-pics-showdown-in-eastenders.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 Pics of Patsy Palmer with her baby, and bits of an interview with her: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1348109/EastEnders-actress-Patsy-Palmer-unveils-baby-Bertie.html I wonder what this part is about: I wonder if she's considering leaving again. If she does, they might as well write Ricky and Bianca's million children out. Ricky proved in his 2002-2004 stint that he just doesn't work on his own anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 I hope she doesn't leave again. I thought the reason she came back was because there wasn't work elsewhere. Unless she means returning briefly from maternity leave to help with the story they had to curtail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 Didn't she, essentially, call the show a piece of sh!t not too long before she returned in 2008? I wonder if she sees the baby as an opportunity to finally close the book for good on Bianca and EE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 Yeah, both Patsy and Lindsey Coulson swore for years that they would never return. Patsy in particular resented being typecast as Bianca for years. I think she said somewhere in the 00's that she doesn't watch the show and thought it was crap. I guess she needed the money somewhere along the line. She met Dirderick Santer at Barbara Windsor's birthday party in 2007 and they started talking about her returning and things went off from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 I hope she isn't leaving, for one reason because I'm tired of the EE IS DOOMED!!! stuff, and also because I have finally started enjoying her character again after being put off by that poor introduction Santer gave her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Wow, The Mirror is reporting that Patsy wants to leave again and that her contract is up and she doesn't want to be "tied to anything." Hopefully, this is more false rubbish from the press... http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2011/01/18/patsy-palmer-quits-eastenders-over-cot-death-storyline-115875-22856930/ Edited January 18, 2011 by Y&RWorldTurner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 If this is true then it really annoys me, even if it doesn't surprise me, that the paper tried to tie this to the baby swap, when I doubt her decision had anything to do with it. I guess Lindsey will probably be gone by next year, but the idea of Carol being on the show without Bianca would be strange...it could work with good writing, but that's always hard to come by with soaps today. More than ever Eastenders needs a few faces from the past, and also stronger male characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 That sounds like a bunch of crap. Her daughter has trouble separating fact from fiction yet she's able to tell Patsy to "don't go back there." It doesn't make sense. She lets her 9-year-old daughter watch the show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 I think Carol has more potential to work on her own than Ricky. I know he existed for years on the show before Bianca, but as we saw in his 2002-2004 stint during the Louise Berridge era without Bianca, he was a complete waste of space on his own. But, you know, I kind of liked Rucky and Natalie and wish the writing wasn't so bad for them when they tried to pair them legitimately. I always felt like Natalie had some respect for Ricky, which I don't often find with Bianca or Sam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 I wouldn't mind seeing Ricky/Natalie one more time (I don't want to see Ricky/Sam again). I think Ricky would work as a supporting character, and a part of the community - a lot of fans sneer at this as "dead wood" but it's important. You're right about Carol. I do hope she stays. It just kind of feels like all signs are pointing otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 Patsy says she hasn't quit, but reiterates that her contract has expired (and hasn't been renewed yet) and that she'll only return when it's right for both her and the show. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2/eastenders/news/a298616/palmer-i-have-not-quit-eastenders.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thanks for finding that. I'm sure some will say that the BBC forced her to say this and she's not coming back, and so on, but I don't see why she'd go along with that. I hate that the baby switch controversy means any actor who goes is going because of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 Obviously Thomas Law left because the baby swap distressed him. He couldn't bear to see his name roll up in the credits during this period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 No Thomas Law left because Kirkwood has a cunning plan to destroy the Beales (since they were going so well before he showed up...). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
