Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) And really, outside of Sonia and Bradley, Dot was never that close to any of Jim's family, so I never really bought her with the Branning's. She's not a character rooted in any particular family, she's rooted more in the community of the show. I cringed a few months ago when Max told Lauren to call her grandma. While I can understand it as a sign of respect, but when have Lauren and Dot ever been close? On the topic of grandchildren, I don't understand why in recent years they've tried to say that Bradley is Jim's favorite grandchild. While I don't like her, if anyone was/is his favourite, it would be Sonia, she was basically more like his daughter than granddaughter anyway. Here's a small clip of Polly and June together: <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NDnM0uBhn3A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited May 27, 2011 by Y&RWorldTurner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 I wouldn't have recognized June. Polly reminds me of Bev Callard for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 Today's episode was written by Daran Little, and he did not disappoint. Very good episode overall. Nina and Nitin's scenes today should be used as their acting reels for next years awards. Those scenes were the best yet in their story. I even found enjoyment out of the Christian and Syed scenes today, as they had plenty of depth to them with Christian feeling insecure about Syed and Zaniab reconciling. I'm loving Lydia's interactions with the square. That brief exchange with Pat, Janine, and Ricky outside of the Vic was refreshing as we don't seem them as a family unit (Pat is usually absent) very often these days. Then Lydia stopping by in a car and referring to Pat's hooking days upon seeing her on the street corner, ROFL Poor Pat cannot escape the digs about her hooker past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 ETA: When Tanya and Greg's relationship inevitably explodes, crashes and burns, I wouldn't mind Greg looking in Kim's direction. I kind of sensed some chemistry between the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) I just hope when that does happen, they keep Stefan Booth. He's just so pretty. We can't lose that. It would be unethical. Edited May 27, 2011 by Amello 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 They seem to get rid of most of their new characters very quickly (or just leave them standing around doing nothing) but I hope Greg stays. That would provide more consequences for the inevitable Tanya/Max reunion, and he is also way too hot to get rid of - the show isn't big in eye candy now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted May 28, 2011 Members Share Posted May 28, 2011 Agreed, and it's a trend that I find a bit bothersome. Here's a trailer of David Essex's arrival on the square. http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/s2/eastenders/scoop/a321944/eastenders-watch-the-eddie-moon-trailer.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 28, 2011 Members Share Posted May 28, 2011 Speaking of that, I was wondering about the spoilers for the next few weeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 28, 2011 Members Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Ace said his contract expires in late June I believe, but he thinks and hopes to extend it. So he's still taping, so I don't know how much is in those spoilers. Edited May 28, 2011 by Y&RWorldTurner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 29, 2011 Members Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) I wish Dot would visit Ethel's grave again, like she did the day she married Jim. <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/y9d7o15M4tc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I like that the show has never had Dot forget about Ethel and what that friendship meant to her.

Members DRW50 Posted May 29, 2011 Members Share Posted May 29, 2011 That Zainab/Masood scene on Friday's episode is going to go in my very very exclusive section for Favorite Eastenders Scenes of All Time. Nina and Nitin are beyond superb together. I couldn't stop watching the part with <SLAP> YUSEFHASDONENOTHING!!!! And the look on his face, the pain and shock in his eyes... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 30, 2011 Members Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'm watching Friday's episode tonight...can't wait! I took a little break (it just sort of happened ), but I'm finally back in the loop. When in the world is Ronnie hitting the bricks? I'm ready for her to leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 30, 2011 Members Share Posted May 30, 2011 Looks like Eddie Moon will be Carol's love interest. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/soaps/3608229/David-Essex-will-get-together-with-Carol-Jackson-on-EastEnders.html Funny, I thought Eddie was more from Pat's generation than Carol's, unless Carol is going for older men these days... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted May 30, 2011 Members Share Posted May 30, 2011 Interesting, that's why they included Carol in David Essex's trailer for the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
