OMFG! ‘The ginger one and the one with the really annoying mother.’ KAREN!

*Aidan appears*

 

As great as it was to see Mel again - and I have to admit I'm shipping Mack/Jel - it doesn't make up for Bernadette's chess monologue or the accusing of people being pedophiles set up as comedy filler.

Yeah tbh the ‘p****’ thing doesn’t sit right with me at all. Last year I found out someone I’d considered a friend had actually been a paedopile and it really isn’t something people should be joking about, it had quite and affect on me. That stuff was really only good for people going on about how Sonia was really annoying.

 

I liked Mel/Jack. In fact, Jack has been bearable of late. What’s going on?

Mel's fine but her return has been so flat :mellow:

 

Karen accusing Ted of being a p**** is very her isn't it? Such a vile character.

Just watching last nights episode.

 

"you can just point to the doll if it's easier!!"

 

Are they being f***ing serious?

That is the first episode in ages where I thought.. wow this feels like the good old days. No ridiculous storylines about people we don't care about and a genuine shock moment at the end that I didn't see coming.

 

I am really liking the new Slater girl, she's adding some much needed fire to the show (and is one of the few characters that doesn't look like they're BORED to be on set).

Oh she IS a Slater thn!

 

Lmao it's true they all look bored!!!

That was a step up but I wouldn’t have called the ending a shock. Most of us had her pinned as a Slater from the word go and she has always been seen scheming against Martin. It was pretty much what I expected.

 

I don’t like that storyline though. I really can’t see what Martin has done that means he deserves to be treated this way.

I guess I've been paying barely attention recently cus it's been so lacklustre that I guessed she was a Slater but didn't pick up on her scheming against Martin. And yes WE ARE SURELY SUPPOSED TO SIDE WITH MARTIN RIGHT? Felt awful for him when the police arrived :/

Stacey hasn’t been this much of a bitch for years.

 

I’m tiring of Mick.

My only issue is that Eastenders is that Stacey can do no wrong. She cheated on her husband yet it was Martin who lost everything and now she's scheming against him to most likely lose custody of the children? I don't get what Martin has done wrong but I don't get how Stacey avoids being despised as a character when she's the most selfish character arguably in Eastenders, she does far more wrong than good.

 

I did actually like Stacey and Martin and don't see why EE just randomly split them up.

Martin shut Stacey out of the house for 2 days for HER MISTAKE and now he's getting all this shit for what now? Where are the writers/producers going with this? Even Martin keeps saying "What have I done?" We're with ya pal, we don't have a clue either :lol:

Eastenders logic is baffling

Someone on my twitter said it's like the Carters are stuck in an endless loop where Linda goes, comes back and is pissed off when she finds x thing has gone wrong in her absence, and that's so true :lol: If any other characters were that stale and out of ideas when a new producer came in, I'm sure they'd be axed, yet we get the same old shit from them. Mind you I guess we could this about a good few characters atm...

 

I agree with Bal though last night's episode was much better than a lot of the show's recent output, I think the Slaters all returning will be brilliant and inject some much needed life into the show. But I just wish they didn't have to split up a perfectly good couple to facilitate it :/ It would've been fine if Stacey and Martin were on the rocks and Mo, Jean and Kat came back to help Stacey get her head together but there's not really much coming back from this, if they do get back together at the end of it all then Martin has been a bit of a mug :lol:

When you’re watching the Carters on a crazy loop, you wonder why Abi was axed tbh.

This is legit a spoiler from Inside Soap:

Decoration diva Denise has her eyes on a brand new sofa!

 

 

I do agree that last night's episode was actually quite decent. Helps that there was no chess, samosas, bratty teens or really misdirected 'comedy' and instead we got plenty of Mel scenes and some nice character moments. Unfortunately, for every decent episode, it's followed up with weeks of crap.

OMG that spoiler I’m GRIPPED.

Omg I'm screaming, seriously? :rofl:

Foreseeing an intriguing duff duff of Denise eating pasta on her new sofa.
