Well, another new year. But same old EastEnders.
I just thought that the other thread was "out of date" wasn't it? Bit like the programme really. -

Goodness, we're into February and the thought hadn't even occurred to me but there's no time like the present, eh?
Denise being overly protective of Dean is strange... Yes, she was effectively his step-mother but you could be forgiven for having forgotten that, as despite having a MUCH better relationship with her than his biological mother - they've barely even been in the same room together despite him being back on the Square for months.
But then, I suppose that might have interfered with his sudden and inexplicable devotion to a woman he barely knows and abandoned him... several times.
Stan's assisted dying storyline seems rather poorly done. He's still fit enough to get enough pills or whatever to overdose on himself. Also, this feels like a decidedly poor story for the Dire clan to handle. Actually, just a bad story for EE to handle. It was done with Dot helping Ethel(?) to shuffle off this mortal coil but this has none of the poignancy, given Stan hasn't been around for a year.
Not to mention - I understand it's not an easy situation but why is everyone so dead set against it, except for Lesbian Dire? Oh and DD suggesting a vote? That was so stupid it was funny.
Are we going to get ANY resolution on Phil not having a lawyer? Is there NO ONE that can take his case? Or is the Mitcheloni business/crime empire so plot driven that even after weeks, it hasn't got a few poxy grand to put a lawyer on a retainer?
As with so much, it's whatever the plot needs it to be.
Much like Shabba's baby - I'm not really surprised people are confused, given how it totally contradicts everything previously established and she also managed to not mention any of this until last week.
Wouldn't it have made a lot more sense for Shabba to start worrying about her magical plot baby AFTER she heard that Dean was a rapist? Because, seems to me that anxiety about her baby years after the fact should be prompted by something.
And what's with her giving the money to her father now, anyway? Maybe she should have apologised for being so insufferable while she was at it? -

What I find odd about Stan is that until he started going on about euthanasia, he has barely shown any signs of pain, and yet he talks about it as if he wants to be done away with imminently, not planning for the future. I understood you needed help when you do not have the strength or dexterity to use a syringe or hold the pills etc, yet he seems to have no trouble holding a pint of beer or a cigarette.

Stan encouraging his distressed daughter to mix up... whatever kind of lethal cocktail you can get on prescription from your local chemist in one small bag (maybe they've got a deal on potassium cyanide?), while we've seen him walking about, drinking pints and have yet to have any indication he even requires help dressing himself.
Not to mention, if he's THIS desperate to end his pain - there are plenty of non-chemical means to do so. An artificial problem has (again) been created by the fact the characters are intensely stupid and that rather detracts from the storyline...
Well, beyond the fact that DD is back in familiar ornery 'ardman territory. -

but EE is still not half as bad as an ITV soap which is yawning its way into switch-off territory at the moment with another teenage pregnancy - and I don't mean Emmerdale, which is currently a must watch.
-
Message 8
Posted by Prophet Tenebrae (U5995226) on Saturday, 7th February 2015
Hasn't Emmerdale been the real success story of the past decade or so?
I seem to recall that at one point it was getting ratings consistently on a par with Eastenders.
Anyway, away from that more interesting discussion to the tedium of current EE.
I just revisited the episode to see what Lauren found... It says:
18th April
Missing Hours
22:00-08:00
DOESN'T ADD UP
With 020 947 806 0221 in the corner.
Which is apparently crucial? I guess it's a phone number.
Kush and Shabnam... yawn. Tedious. Also, rather presumptuous of Kush to pick her up like that - what if she wasn't a two dimensional character and didn't want a relationship? That would have been awkward.
I wish Phil would hurry up and get back from panto to give us something interesting... although, I'm sure him and Max will just have a pleasant chat, followed by months of nothing happening. -
Message 9
Posted by mjr999 (U15498313) on Saturday, 7th February 2015
Is that supposed to be UK, or indeed London, phone number then??? Wrong format surely!!
I thought the Kush and Shabs scene was excruciating. Why on earth he would be interested in such a crabby character is beyond me. And all the fuss about kissing when they have had sex already????? What is that about? A bit late in the day to be acting all bashful surely. -

I loved the Mick walked in and immediately knew what the glass held, it could have been Alka Seltzer and yet he through it across the room.Needs a course in anger management or acting.
I agree Kush and Shabnam are a total bore and more worthy of Grange Hill than EE.
As for Stan words fail me, if he's so ill how come he's walking about? And don't they have painkillers in Walford or a doctor to attend him?

She hasa look of the night about her, she was given the elbow by stan years ago and seems mentally stronger than Tina. She used to deal drugs too i believe, she must know folk that can get her something stronger than paracetemol! Maybe she could whip up a trifle in a new bowl with some added ingredients just for him? -

Medical marijuana! That would have been more interesting than this flipping euthanasia storyline for a man who winces occasionally but otherwise can manage to go about his business with no apparent physical difficulty! He was dancing only the other week and flitting between two women, that is before his weekend on the raz with his old mate. We should have had all this stuff after a collapse and being bedridden.

I suppose we're meant to be thinking that Peter killed Lucy judging by Lauren's reaction tonight. I, however, think that she thinks Max killed her. Therefore it'll be niether of them.
Is it next week we find out? Going to be a heck of a lot happening next week, not sure I can contain myself. -

Good point! Apart from some red on her face which is visible occasionally and looks no worse than a bit of rosacea, she appears unscathed, especially in the cleavage department.
I was really annoyed last night at the portrayal of Dot, dressed as CSI Walford. This woman of supposed strong moral character is now being asked to go and buy heroin for her son. Firstly I cannot believe that after what he did she would continue to help him. Secondly, why on earth can they not show someone saying NO when asked to do the wrong thing? If an old woman like Dot goes trawling round the means streets of E20 looking for smack, it will be beyond parody. -

I was looking for Kat's scars too - not a sign anywhere that I could see. Did they forget to put the make-up on? Talk about ageing sex symbol! There's more attractive ladies at my local bowls club for the over 60s.
My money for the 'eagerly awaited' reveal of who killed Lucy, is on Nick Cotton. She was dabbling in drugs, and he's supposed to be a user/supplier - they clashed. He's leaving too, so is a good candidate.
Where is he holed up, incidentally? Looked like Dracula's cellar in Transylvania complete with swirling mist - or was that just my ageing TV? -

I don't really care who killed off Lucy, I have a feeling next weeks special episodes will be about as exciting as reading that document about phone hacking that came out last year - hope I am wrong!
I am starting to think it was a Whitney/ peter mash up, judging by last night. saw some pictures on line of Lauran and peter close to Lucy's grave, I think she is going out of the series as she is pregnant in real life too. Whitney is acting very oddly - she hasn't had a decent story since the grooming one a few years back now for Children in need and is also seen roaming around not doing much work - although she did mention the nursery last night. Probably where all the missing children go - ( denny anyone..?). Kat made me laugh, the scars have healed, moaning about lack of money, yet in the pub downing expensive spirits and buying Roxy drinks too. nice of them all to ask 'oh, how is Ronnie and baby Matthew ' but that's too close to a real conversation. Dot a murderer too? that really would not make any sense at all.
oh well, I am sure I will be tuning in next week for all of it - I am looking forwards to watching the first episode on the red button too. seeing them so young looking will be funny! -

Wasn't he on the way home when first seen? Don't know. Maybe his amazing speed is a clue 'the killer'.
So... maybe pregnant... let's get drunk.
No visible signs of drunkenness next morning and apparently able to resist further urges. Have the writers ever seen an alcoholic?

If London as a whole were to reflect the rate at which ladies get pregnant in EE, the population would be adding another million or so in no time. Hasn't anyone heard of birth control? Now it's looking like recovering alcoholic and amateur detective Lauren is the latest ummarried, unemployed, unfunded young woman to have forgotten to take her pills.
