She's utterly brilliant. I love how she just barges into the Vic two or three times a year and sniffs her nose at everybody and then goes home again.

 

The writers go bonkers with their recurring characters. Kim and Dexter were shady as hell but provided some relief from the misery of Lucas being evil and back when the Slaters were at the forefront of the show, Belinda would pop up every now and then to sleep with another unsuspecting resident of the square and then swiftly disappear. Fabulous.

'EastEnders' named Soap Of The Year 2009

Albert Square soap EastEnders has been named Digital Spy's Soap Of The Year by our readers for the second year in a row.

 

The BBC serial fought off heavy competition from Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks in what was a closely fought poll.

 

Speaking of the soap's win, executive producer Dierderick Santer said: "A massive thank you to everyone on Digital Spy who took the trouble to vote for us. It means a lot to us that we're still your number one soap."

 

He added: "We never take our audience's loyalty and support for granted and are very grateful for this lovely Christmas gift."

 

The public vote - in which thousands and thousands of members of the DS community participated - was open between Friday, October 30 and Sunday, December 6.

 

 

Is it true about Eastenders having a live episode in February or something?[/late]

so archie get knocked off eh?....

... you just know itll be the least likely person who dun it! <_< ... laurens little sister?... that cotton kid? heathers baby? <_<

Yawn, yawn, yawn...

 

I'm predicting Peggy. Diederick Santer said it was somebody 'unlikely but also obvious' or something nonsensical and cryptic like that. I guess Peggy would fit that, in that she's his wife and has deluded herself into thinking he loves her again recently only to be enraged by his taking of the Vic.

Which would also fit perfectly timing-wise with Bab's departure...

 

So far as we know none of the other main players are due to be leaving anytime soon.

I think its either Peggy or Bradley, both are leaving and both have reasons.

Why would Bradley kill Archie?

Theres some mad theory that Archie raped Stacey at some point or other...Bradley finds out and kills Archie :/ Sounds less plausable every time I think about it :lol:

I think that could may well be what will happen

Or it could be

Ryan, given that he's obviously harboring love for Janine and she's going to be humiliated by Archie, but it seems like a long shot.

 

 

How fantastic have this week's episodes been so far? You can't imagine how much I laughed at Santa wowing the kids during rehearsals for the nativity and then it turning out not to be Charlie :heehee: So absurd! Jean is stealing pretty much every scene as well. 'Oh no Charlie, I don't think so, there has been many occasions when I have been nearly ecstatic and I have never passed out on the kitchen floor, not once!'

yep...more utter bollox from 'unrealityenders'... i found it amusing, but thats not a good thing, i was laughing with incredulity.

Listening to Barbera Windsor saying 'Lady GaGa' has MADE my Christmas in ways I don't really understand.

you're not the only one :lol:

..is THAT really how easy it is to take over a pub? wave a bit of paper and get handed the keys half way through the evening?... :lol:

 

UTTER BOLLOX! :angry: yet again a decent storyline totally undermines its credibility , ruining what could be a decent drama...with utter nonsense, but what else can we expect from this daft soap. all year long its made itself look ridiculous with bollox detail. that guy after falling through the ice walked away with no clothes, no money.... lauren instantaneously had the ability to drive a car, everyone else has lessons!, that ugly guy sailing off into the sunset on that pokey little cabin boat... these mysterious santa noises and that santa appearing... now this..

 

its infuriating that decent storylines are being concluded in such contemptable ways. they are insulting our intelligence, unless you accept them, then i guess the fairystory writers are RIGHT to treat us (you) with contempt.

I thought the point was that the Mitchells COULD have strung things out a bit longer if they wanted to, but Peggy had "got tired of the fighting"?

..... and you just walk out half way through the evening?..:lol: c'mon m8... wheres all the solicitors ? wheres the brewery? accountants? you cant just stop trading like that! nor start by taking over...

I really don't understand why you watch the soaps if you're that bothered about details Rob. I don't know about Corrie (all I know is it's the worst thing on TV) but Emmerdale, excellent as it is, also suffers the same lack of reality as EE at times. The soaps just aren't about mirroring real life at every corner. The term 'soap opera' was devised as a term for the over-the-top American dramas of back in the day and soaps have never claimed to be entirely believable because it's part of their charm that they aren't!

 

Still EE is getting a new exec producer whose presence will be felt from about March time so perhaps you'll see less of those bits you don't like. The Mo/Santa storyline was pure 'soap at Christmas going a bit potty' though. It was just a bit of light-hearted relief from all the murderous intent flying around the square and nothing at all that warrants a good slating.
