I have watched Easties since it started in a mindless sort of way. However I was absolutely drawn in by last nights episode. I've never been left so shattered by a TV programme before. Cabin fever? Good writing? Good acting? No idea why!!

SHE killed Lucy- so that cuts down the 'choice'.

Feel like organising a boycott of Eastenders via GN and the Press/Radio Times- and tell them we are just not prepared to wait that long!!!

Was fed up at last night's episode. I can't be bothered with the whole Nick Cotton storyline. Mrs Doyle framing Phil? Whatever!

I think Nick Cotton and his mother along with a couple of others are very poor actors. Glad the police liaison woman is dead - didn't like her character at all.

I don't see any poor acting on 'Enders. And I think that fact is amazing in itself. Says a lot for our drama schools.

You don't have to like them all whitewave! grin

I'm pleased to see Denise's sister Kim back in the story line she is such a breath of fresh air after all the miserable storylines,you would never think so much could happen in such a small Square could you ?

whitewave Sat 03-Jan-15 13:04:18

jing don't you think Cotton is terribly wooden?

Ana Sat 03-Jan-15 13:07:51

There's a joke in there somewhere...

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 03-Jan-15 13:11:25

No!!!!! I just think he is naaaaasty!!!!!!!

Grrrrrrr!

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 03-Jan-15 13:12:47

DD says he is one dimensional. He's a bit of a pantomime baddy character.

glamma grin

It looks like Denise is going to bugger off and leave her to look after Patrick. I don't blame her.

whitewave Sat 03-Jan-15 13:15:21

Yes that's it! There are a few like that in EE I think Mike of the pub has only one facial expression, sort of painful.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 03-Jan-15 13:19:08

Mick is gorgeous! Specially when he is wearing Linda's pink dressing gown. grin

whitewave Sat 03-Jan-15 13:26:54

confused

granjura Sat 03-Jan-15 13:38:44

I wouldn't blame Denis- but golly, poor Patrick he does not deserve this!

Mick is a one expression actor- really not my cup of tea at all.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 03-Jan-15 14:00:24

Why are you confused whitewave?

Pittcity Sat 03-Jan-15 14:16:46

Mick Carter has some fantastic turns of phrase that are his own version of Cockney. I often have to google them!

granjura Sat 03-Jan-15 14:18:56

Perhaps she finds it hard to see how Mike could be considered sexy in his wife's pink dressing gown, lol. I certainly can't either tchshock

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 03-Jan-15 14:24:28

He does look sexy in it though! grin I think it shows he is totally at ease with his sexuality.

whitewave Sat 03-Jan-15 14:25:48

Yes but honestly!!!!
