It's not a mistake Joey and Lauren will get together. It was confirmed, when they filmed the explosion.

Well that's absolutely disgusting.

I was so excited about Sharon's return, but I am on a long term break from EE after hearing the news that

Sharon will be getting involved with Phil.

They do get together, but it is not real, Sharon is helping Phil out of a problem.

What do you think about Sharon being an addict?

I like it. I wouldn't have if it had been an alcohol or hard drug addiction, but b/c it's prescription pills, I think that represents and explains where her head has been during her time away. I'm also glad she's in recovery, so we don't have to sit through any randomly tedious addiction story. I wonder how long she'll last without falling off the wagon? And if she does, I hope she remembers her sponsor - this show always forgets that recovering addicts have sponsors to help and support them.

.

However, reading that article, it says LAUREN and Joey will be getting together? Please tell me that's a huge mistake. What is with this show and incest being perfectly normal?

If you've ever watched B&B, you should be used to all kinds of levels of incest. I'll like this if they treat it properly, and have people react the way they should towards two 1st cousins getting it on. It's not like Ben and Lola who are very distantly related, where no-one bats an eye. Plus, it's not illegal for Joey and Lauren to be together... If it doesn't have the ick factor, it'll be fine. I just hope there isn't a load of references to them being cousins before they kiss.

They can be the new Jammy (GL reference), the main difference being I can see why she'd want to have sex with him.

Oh, thanks for this info. Ann ruined my life there, for a second.

I don't know what happens, but there is a fake engagement between them.

I'm assuming it's to get custody of Lexi.

Lorraine Newman's first interview

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2/eastenders/interviews/a437316/eastenders-exec-lorraine-newman-on-future-plans-for-soap-interview.html

It is that Jack/Sharon/Phil triangle that made me stop watching EE.

There's nothing very specific in that interview, but it was nice to see them address some criticisms of the show.

Looking at old Graham Norton interviews and loved this one with Jessie Wallace from 2003 where they call the American EastEnders fan. It starts 8:42 in, this must have been just before BBC American pulled the plug on the show. 

 

Congratulations to Charlie Brooks!

Can't say I'm interested in any of the storylines, but here's this year's Christmas trailer:
