Are they trying to set us up for 'WHO SHOT PHIL MITCHELL - THE REBIRTH?' :lol:

Glenda's acting gets more and more appalling each week.

Glenda was on INCREDIBLE form last night! Quite honestly my favourite character at the minute. She's just so ridiculous.

Janine looks hot in that red wig :o

"Not in the face."

 

:lol:

One word.

 

VANESSA.

I'm actually warming to Michael! I just hope he doesn't become some sort of hardnut wannabe-gangster like most of the people with his traits do. He's quite good at the cocky cheeky chap thing.

 

I've always loved Vanessa and thought she had the potential to be THE BITCH. Now she's being a cow though, I don't like her so much :(

 

Loving Janine and Whitney's escapades too.

 

Im loving vanessa and i think as a charactor she is really showing huge potential, michael on the other hand im not so sure what i think of him yet.

I think I'm one of the only people who isn't really taking a liking to Vanessa?

Glenda's acting is soooo bad but in the end isn't that why we love her? That and she's probably the most shameless character there is and despite the 32 year age gap, I would.

Since his return, I haven't really thought much of Shane Ritchie - but his acting was really real tonight, when he was shouting at the end - it felt very believable.

I also, thought he acted very well tonight, I wonder if they are setting up to anything with him & Roxy?

Apparantly an "EastEnders spokesperson" has said in Inside Soap magazine that no decision has been made on Lucy's recast/return! :o

I actually forgot about that tbh. :lol:

This is true. They announced the recast and then changed their mind. My guess is that they're going to wait a year, perhaps two, and then bring Lucy and Peter back together. Peter might be recast but they probably want Melissa back since she really made the character her own - but they don't want to be seen to have admitted making a mistake in axing her so they're waiting. Could be wrong but you know.

Kim was AMAZING as per usual tonight. :lol: Really LOVE her. :D

Peter might be recast but they probably want Melissa back since she really made the character her own - but they don't want to be seen to have admitted making a mistake in axing her so they're waiting. Could be wrong but you know.

 

Oh Jark, much love as always, but you've come up with some ridiculous things in your time, and this one really IS a case of utterly wishful and hopeless thinking!

You are the ONLY person I have ever known to actually see ANYTHING in Melissa Suffield's non-acting. The general opinion was that she was merely adequate during the abortion plot, and plain awful during the rest of her stint. Why on earth would they be at pains to bring her back?

 

My guess is simply that the new actress didn't work out - and coupled with Laurie Brett's recent pregnancy announcement, the writers have either simply decided it wasn't the best time to bring the Beales back to the forefront, or are planning an Ian-at-rock-bottom storyline with all of his family having deserted him. I imagine when Brett is back from maternity leave, they'll try again and bring either or both of Peter and Lucy back.

There was never any new actress cast, that's for definite. And I'm not the only one who rated Melissa! She split opinion but she had quite a few fans and you can't deny that of all the 'kids' on the show she was the most defined character. Bringing her back with a new actress would be kind of ridiculous.

 

In other news I had a dream last night that Monday's episode of EastEnders was actually a MOCKUMENTARY (?!). It was incredibly dull!

I'd say Whitney > Lucy, even with the whole Billie mess last year... I think you're vastly overrating Suffield's popularity.

I didn't mind Lucy actually... she was quite distinctive, certainly better than Peter.

To be frank, you could compare one of the rotting turnips from Billy's fruit and veg stall and say it was a more dynamic character than Peter.
