Pre Warning re Tonight’s Eastenders

Isn't Yolande a good actress?

I thought it was brilliantly done.

My goodness that was a hard thing to watch. I thought it was going to be about Jay. It wasn’t.

Exactly , which is why I had the tears , such compelling viewing , even knowing that he was a predator did not prepare the viewer for his actions . What a backstory as well it spoke volumes . Hats off to East Enders scriptwriters , fantastic acting also .

Just watched it, brilliantly acted with a good storyline. It showed the reasons why men like this get away with it.
Six older women,all with the same story, different dates, some did report but not enough evidence. Others did not for fear they would not be believed.
This was drama at its best.

Haven't the majority of us GSM, but we can still feel empathy with other women in these situations, and if a soap helps one woman be aware, brilliant.

Whatever - I am not the weepy sort. I have had enough to cry about in real life.

GSM, tonight Eastenders is based on real life situations that occur very frequently to women, so not fiction.

Some people cry easily, others don’t. I don’t know when I last cried, and it certainly wasn’t provoked by fiction.

Anything to do with the Lola storyline has me close to tears. That little girl is one of the best child actors I've seen in a long time.

Each days episode is on player at the start of the day 👌
If I have time I’ll watch it in the mornings.

I never knew that!

Nor me!

Thanks for warning me , Nana Tuesday.
I hadn't noticed.
Well said, Bumface. EastEnders is very good drama and I love it.
Each to his own of course.

Eh? I wondered that.

I don’t watch it either. Never have, never will. I don’t know how people can be reduced to tears by pure fiction.

I don’t watch EE, but I do watch and read fiction. And for someone never to be moved by some of the most powerful and emotional writing that is available throughout the hundreds of years of wonderful writing, I find incredibly difficult to believe.

Bumface,
Totally agree with you . The script writers also cover current topics & do it well .
I’m not sure why people would think you can’t shed a tear if you are watching or reading fiction 🤔

I am frequently reduced to tears by pure fiction. Don't be so stuffy. Eastenders is a fantasy but nevertheless it is very well written and acted and has had some memorable moments eg Dot Cotton's soliloquy. OK it is not for you.

I don't watch Eastenders but isn,t it generally filled with depressing,violent episodes? I would rather watch uplifting t.v.Each to their own I suppose!
