Members TimWil Posted June 24, 2015 Members Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) I thought Linda looked lovely, though. Very well rested. On tonight's episode Buster told Mas about Jade's CF and they wondered if they should tell Shabnam. I ask this again-wouldn't she have known about Jade's condition eiither from when she was born or by Fatima? Nancy rocked in that final scene with Stacey. Stacey doesn't have chemistry with either Kush or Martin, in my opinion. I say bring back Danny Tennant (one of our favorite bisexual characters) for her.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 24, 2015 Members Share Posted June 24, 2015 Well it doesn't help when the actor believes it too. They've in so many words made Danny Dyer a leader on the show when he doesn't even have tenure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 24, 2015 Members Share Posted June 24, 2015 It was obvious that the show thought Mick would be iconic because he was played by Danny Dyer (who is not even that popular with the British public), and that the Carters would be iconic because DTC created them and because they are related to Shirley (again, never all that popular of a character). And some fans do like them, but ultimately they're irrelevant to the canvas. It doesn't help that none of them have interesting relationships. I see some fans say things like Dean has to die so we can get the good times again between Shirley, Mick and Tina, and all I think is - why is Shirley's vile behavior forgiven just because Dean dies, and when did those three ever have an interesting relationship to begin with? I hope that like when that hack Collinson left Corrie and the Prices were phased out, the same happens to the Carters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 24, 2015 Members Share Posted June 24, 2015 Well Dean dying is not going to sweep Shirley's acts under the rug for me. Hell, I never really cared for Shirley that much anyways. I always felt that after Heather was killed and Ben was revealed as the murderer, she should've left the Square. Never bought her and Phil together that much except for at times when she'd give Phil a dose of his own medicine. The Carters are just too isolated for me to care about them. And when they do reach out and have relationship (now), it feels forced. They just don't mesh well with me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2015 Members Share Posted June 26, 2015 Dean Gaffney will be returning for Carol's exit. http://www.soapsquawk.co.uk/news/eastenders-spoiler-robbie-jackson-is-back-with-a-son.php The people throwing tantrums about Robbie briefly returning make me laugh, as many of them would likely kill a kitten for flops like the Carters. Robbie's annoying but in small doses he's not bad. I'd take him over Sonia any day... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted June 26, 2015 Members Share Posted June 26, 2015 I wonder if Carol's caner will come back and she'll die. Obviously, Bianca wouldn't come back though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2015 Members Share Posted June 26, 2015 I know one of the articles said the door would be left open, so I hope not. But then again some of the spoilers do make me wonder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted June 27, 2015 Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) DTC tweeted this cute pic of Barbara Windsor and Jonny Labey (Paul Coker) at a function for gay magazine Attitude. https://twitter.com/dominictc/status/614585559684677634 So now Shabnam and Stacey are BOTH pregnant? Shabs is FIVE months pregnant (by Kush) and Stacey is carrying Martin's child (or is iKush's?). Ai yi yi.

Members DRW50 Posted June 27, 2015 Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 Cute photo. I'm glad his bad fake tan is still fading. It was also nice to see him pop up randomly last night. I would have rather seen Paul and Lola having fun in the salon than...90% of what was onscreen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted June 28, 2015 Members Share Posted June 28, 2015 It looks like Danny Boy Hatchard (Lee) is getting a storyline he can sink his teeth into: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/eastenders-tackles-most-controversial-storyline-5960730 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 28, 2015 Members Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hopefully that will be a strong story. I think he could do well. I can't help feeling let down by the Vincent story. He's just a camp, silly gangster, and the constant comparisons to Paul Trueman do him no favors. Every time he does that high-pitched squealing I cringe. He also has little chemistry with Kim, and after the character seemed to be on the road to growing up, she's back to being as dumb as ever. The woman who plays Shabnam is a bit weak as an actress, but I like the serenity and quiet pain she brings to the role, which added a great deal to the scene where she saw Jade for the first time. Masood's anger over the hate crime was another strong scene. It's too bad about all the rest with Kush, and Stacey, and the baby - which she will likely lose and see as a further punishment. Buster is another disappointment, going back and forth about a child's future to try to please Shirley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted June 28, 2015 Members Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I agree about the actress who plays Shabnam, Carl. Her facial and vocal tics drive me nuts a lot of the time but when she's still she's very effective. That moment when she looked up at Jade was a good example. I like Buster but don't think he's good with Shirley. I've decided I'd like Carol's exit to be her going off with him on that motorbike.

Members BetterForgotten Posted June 30, 2015 Members Share Posted June 30, 2015 This preview clip should interest Carl. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153441274454939&set=vb.169383494938&type=2&theater 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 30, 2015 Members Share Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks. I don't think she did, but I'm glad she's saying she did, because it makes that vile wretch of a woman seethe...oh and Shirley too. Speaking of "Custer," or whatever the name may be, whoever wrote Monday's episode got this NSFW urban legend under the radar. http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/marsbar.asp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted July 1, 2015 Members Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) That's funny, Carl. Marianne Faithfull sure did get around! I'm not a Sonia hater but my God she was insufferable in tonight's episode. This collection of BBC film critic Mark Kermode's reviews quotes is really funny.
