Members BetterForgotten Posted February 4, 2023 Members Share Posted February 4, 2023 Surprisingly, the BBC has splurged on a new promo. This will probably be better than the actual show, but usually it seems like the BBC forgets the show is still on... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted February 8, 2023 Members Share Posted February 8, 2023 Any guesses on the story for Linda and Sharon during anniversary week? I'm intrigued but I haven't watched consistently since around the time of Mick's death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted February 20, 2023 Members Share Posted February 20, 2023 A ten month time jump is a risky move. They'd better hope that they can pull this off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted February 20, 2023 Members Share Posted February 20, 2023 That whole sequence is so horrible and feel so against the grain of this particular show. Tony Holland and Julia Smith must be rolling in their graves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 20, 2023 Members Share Posted February 20, 2023 I don't have a problem with the sequence's execution, or the concept of a soap doing a time jump in theory - I like a time jump well-executed. I just feel like EE keeps chasing stunts when it doesn't need them. This feels like another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted February 20, 2023 Members Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) It's giving an Archie redux, and I was hoping Linda would have a more interesting story for this year. As always, Christmas in the square is miserable. I wonder if they already filmed the sequence to insert into the Christmas show as insurance? Meaning, did they film the whole death scene, or are they just hoping that nothing happens to any of the actresses between now and December.

Members DRW50 Posted February 21, 2023 Members Share Posted February 21, 2023 Not a time jump, just a flash forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted February 21, 2023 Members Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) I'm interested in this flash forward, however the lead up to it is the least of my concern, what about after Christimas 2023? I really do think the show will lose steam or seemingly meander in trying to properly play all the proper beats once it's revealed who was killed. We'll spend all of 2023 working up to the murder mystery, and then spend all 2024 playing the aftershock of the murder? Yikes.

Members Darn Posted March 5, 2023 Members Share Posted March 5, 2023 This looks well produced but they'll definitely be making it up as they go along. And fingers crossed none of those actresses quits, gets fired, gets injured, dies or god forbid gets a haircut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 5, 2023 Members Share Posted March 5, 2023 They tend to have people locked in for long stretches over there. Exits are announced something like 6-18 months out lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted March 5, 2023 Members Share Posted March 5, 2023 Like @Vee said: British soaps tend to lock their stars in. As for hair, the only two we'd need to worry about are Denise, Kathy & Stacey, but I think we're going to be fine. And every single actress involved seems excited for the story, so I don't see them exiting on their own accord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted March 6, 2023 Members Share Posted March 6, 2023 Guys, it was a joke. Half of them are wearing extensions or full on wigs. And I know British soaps announce departures well in advance. Usually with some hyperbole about how exciting the exit is going to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 6, 2023 Members Share Posted March 6, 2023 I've stopped watching the show again. It's better than it was, but it still feels clumsily plot-driven and outside of some select moments, lacking in any real meaning or heart. I also don't care about most of the characters constantly being shoved at viewers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted March 16, 2023 Members Share Posted March 16, 2023 Stepping back into EastEnders for the first time in what feels like forever. Picked up when Kat was held hostage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
