Sounds like

Roxy and Ronnie

are leaving together. I actually hope it's a happy ending even if there's big drama between now and their exits.

The problem I feel there is that

I've always wanted Roxy to break free of her sisters control. Perhaps they're just too iconic as the 'Mitchell sisters'.

 

That's true.

I suppose I'm holding out for an exit that suggests they'd go back or try to go back to how they were when they first came to the show, where both knew what the word "fun" meant and Ronnie genuinely protected Roxy rather than control her as such.

My goodness, I haven't seen Ronnie played that well in years.

Aside from the amazingness from Shirley and Linda Kathy for once didnt seem like an absolute flop.

Kathy can be quite good when she's not spouting absolute shit. I feel for Buster a lot though, I really don't want him to leave.

I've got a funny feeling Deano is coming back towards the end of the year.

That was such a superbly executed episode. Kellie, Sam, Rita and Linda all played their parts to perfection, I loved their scenes together.

That was an incredible episode from start to finish. Of course the four ladies mentioned all did amazing jobs as portraying their characters in this storyline but even Gillian did amazing in this ep :wub:

Loved that scene where the jury was dubbed over the scenes of Ronnie, Shirley, Roxy and Linda. Really moving and unexpected, which made it all the more touching. The scene where Linda had a flashback when cleaning the table was chilling. In fact, all four women were fantastic. Linda Henry was exceptional and Sam Womack remembered how to put effort into acting.

 

Can't believe he got off! I mean, it's realistic and it's kinda important to show that honesty but soaps always deliver justice in some way or another.

I was thinking similar actually, perhaps this

could tie into Ronnie and Roxy's exits?

Like I said above, it would seem strange if no justice of any sort was given to Dean.

Next character for the chop is

Lee Carter.

 

 

Not as devastating this one.

I thought he had potential to begin with but it hasn't been utilised and I'll be thankful if Whitney finally dumps him after the MESS that the resolution was a few weeks back. Although leaving the Carters with just Johnny is

:wacko:

The way an 'insider' has talked about his exit makes it sound like they couldn't wait to get rid! :lol: http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/eastenders...-as-lee-carter/

Kinda surprised at that one but not really disappointed!

Usually there is a death around Christmas/ New Year...

reckon Deano will get a month contract to kill the character off, gets bumped off by Roxy and Ronnie and they both go on the run, taking the kids with them

 

 

No sad loss with Lee Carter bit wet behind the ears, never liked him to be honest, I can see Dot going early next year, apparently she is beginning to frail a bit health wise, it be sad to see her go, one of the longest characters in EE and probably Whitney if Rob comes back for a short stint since Lee is going I can't see her staying any longer, who is she going to hang out with... the Carters.

 

Surely Max is due back soon, he did wanted to take a year out. I also think a new family will be introduced if the culling continues.

Found this on YouTube today which shows the moment Pauline found out about Grant being Mark Junior's dad (be aware that this comes from the period the producers turned Pauline into a bitter, spiteful person). Just nice to have some evidence to support people's memory of who was aware of this secret.

 

god Pauline was dreadful.

Thanks for that Liam! Was only dipping in and out back then so I couldn't remember.

 

Pauline became awfully bitter but given her 20 year history, everything that happened and her general personality, it was quite in character for her to be so bitter. And she was against Sonia of all people, I feel we can all relate. The most out of character thing she did was fake an illness.

 

So glad they recasted Martin tho. James Alexandriou was pretty shit.

I live for Sonia's hypocrisy 'it's my relationship and my life, Martin, nothing to do with you!'

 

That's funny. I must have imagined her sticking her beak into Martin and Stacey's relationship since day one.

surely the worst duff duff ever?

Thanks for that Liam! Was only dipping in and out back then so I couldn't remember.

It's alright! I was watching at the time but was just far too young to pick up on that. I'm sure I saw someone refer to there being a scene before she died where Martin told her about Mark's paternity but I didn't realise they meant in the same week she died.

 

Oh yeah, Sonia has delivered some great lines just for the sheer irony and oblivion. Tonight's was one of the best.
