It's even worse that DTC writes Shabnam where she blames herself as the guilty party. 

 

I am tiring over Kush too. I was glad that Masood socked his ass. 

Rakhee Thakrar has left the show

Rakhee Thakrar has left the show

What?! I didn't think she was really leaving! Damn. So upset over this.

The news is very upsetting, indeed. She was one of the true bright spots of the show in a myriad of ways. I will mourn her absence for some time to come.

Well there goes the best thing to happen to the Masoods in years. Ugh!

 

I'm comforted by the fact that at least it seems to be her decision and not a stupid axing.

Awful news, but I respect her for not hanging on and on. I struggle to imagine what the Masoods will be like without her. She really revitalized them. And this makes the news that they don't want Nina Wadia back even more baffling.

 

It's funny how the show just can't keep a Shabnam, isn't it.

 

I just hope loser Kush is gone soon. I have no interest in a triangle with Stacey and Martin.

 

One final thing - no character in years has reminded me as much of Julia Smith's EE as Rakhee's Shabnam. I think she would have been so proud. I really do.

I don't see DTC getting rid of a creation of his. I think Kush is there as long as DTC wants him there and I think we are in for a triangle with the three. 

 

I love how Shabnam paid his ass in dust tonight as she left the Square with Jade. 

 

I think the Masoods are gonna go back to floundering until someone pitches something interesting for them.

Eastenders is recasting Johnny Carter

Unfortunately. 

Which likely means goodbye Paul. The character is terribly written and Johnny Labey isn't the best actor, but I do like Paul. I hated the idea of Johnny/Ben (and the fantasy that this would be a brilliant pairing because one is a Carter and one is a Mitchell, and blah blah Shirley Phil blah blah blah), and I doubt that will change.

What about a love triangle?

That's what I was about to say. Do you think it possible that DTC might keep all three of them? He might as well seeing as they won't allow Ben to enjoy his sexuality. Might as well bring Johnny back and have him and Paul be a pairing.

They should let Ben enjoy his sexuality.

I do have a question: how was Ben's relationship with Peter and Lucy?

They should never have gotten rid of Gary Lucy (Danny Pennant). He had the makings of a fantastic character, but DTC is one of the most short sighted producers I've ever seen, so they just threw him away.

I can't see Paul staying around for that, as Ben and Johnny would obviously be endgame and the show doesn't give a [!@#$%^&*] about Paul on his own.
