In the words of Kylie,wow wow wow that was a brilliant episode,seeing Tanya was a great surprise and totally unexpected.

It's a nice feeling that there's a buzz about the show though. Twitter are loving it! Omg at this: https://twitter.com/saquibgrm/status/945419121554087936 :lol:

 

That made me laugh so much. :lol:

So they did the sisters TWO YEARS RUNNING??

 

VILE.

One year, R&R died at NYD.

That was a really good episode of EastEnders, the ending had me open mouthed in shock! I have the feeling that somehow they're not both going to die, I'm thinking that Lauren will die and Abi will somehow survive but then how will she end up leaving EastEnders? I also think that Max's days in Albert Square must be numbered now after his secrets have come out and everyone has turned their back on him.

Wow, I cannot remember the last episode as good a song that one. I had a hunch Tanya would return and it’s right that she has done. Such a tense episode. I think it’s been confirmed that there will be one death only so one of the sisters has survived.

 

I’d rather Abi survived for lots of obvious reasons. I cannot see the baby surviving at all but I also think Lauren is more of a spent character. Killing both would be a bad move especially with the Ronnie and Roxy parallel and also with it meaning 3 of Max’s 4 kids would have died in exactly the same way.

 

Knowing my luck, Abi’s Dead :(

The wotsit has signed a year long contract :angry: :angry: :angry:

Yeah same, I feel like Abi will lose her baby and decide that there isn't much in Walford but bad memories and go to start a new life with Tanya (and help raise Louis).

Oooooh!!! What a fab episode!!

MY HEART WAS IN MY MOUTH OMG

 

From bins and cooking pasta to THAT. I am SHOOK.

 

Perched for tonight's ep.

Tbh I have pushed back my night out just so I could watch tonight's episode live.

Ugh that went by FAR TOO QUICKLY!

I think they are making us think that Lauren is dead but they are going to say that Abi has severe brain damage or something? The death will probably be Friday

The aftermath was pretty good, good acting all round, but I did find the ending was pretty predictable, I did feel the whole episode was a bit rushed. And it had to be Keegan that took the mobile coverage of them falling.

OMG THEY CANT DO THIS TO MEEEEE!

 

Seriously, reckon Abi’s a goner :( Lauren will end up ok as ever but Abi will have no brain function. They’ll induce labour and then turn off her life support, you mark my words.

You are rest th, and Lauren will have conflicted feelings afoot raising Steven's baby of course :rolleyes:

 

She hasn't had a speaking scene since.

 

Ruined another chance at a New Janine Kite.

Ya its looking like its Abi purely because they made it look like Lauren.

 

Im all for Abi surviving though. While it may not work, it would be interesting if they keep Abi alive by life support if the baby can survive and let the baby be born and then she passes away. Has this been done in a soap??

 

Its great having Tanya back, its a shame its only for a short visit. I think we have a few more surprises to come over the next week as the Wilmot Brown storyline conclusion looks like it has great potential. No matter which one dies, i hope Tanya is around for the funeral.

 

I read online Jo has had to film most of her scenes at 2am as its the only time she has free due to other commitments, fair play to her as she could have turned it down when asked back.

 

Its sooooo sooo good to feel excited about the show again. Having the show return to form is exciting as we had a painful journey to get this far. If John Yorke can turn the show around in a few short weeks i really do believe EastEnders will flying high this time next year as their is alot ahead with exits and comebacks.

 

Lets hope the show can win back some viewers and get a few awards to really boost moral among the cast and crew.

 

The Christmas day ratings were good so i hope they can retain some of the extra viewers which were the over nights, 6.3 million tuning in without iplayer, recording etc is good, it probably was over 7 million in total.

 

 

 

Some thought the pacing was a bit slow last night but I thought it was great. Loved the Martin/Stacey scenes, particularly the one of Martin crying on the stairs and Stacey in the bath listening. Fantastically shot and acted out. I was hooked on Tanya's reactions; a shame we didn't see more of her but I guess that's due to Jo's schedule.

 

Sharon comparing Tina sleeping with men despite identifying as a lesbian to vegetarians who ate bacon had me howling. :lol:

The past two Christmas Eastenders ratings have seen them jump about 2 million from overnights to 7-day officials, so this year should hopefully pass the 8m mark.

Tuesdays episode was slightly disappointing but still very good. The Christmas Day episode was always going to be hard to follow. I also liked the Martin and Stacey scenes, they were shot brilliantly and sometimes words are not needed to express the emotions as this clearly showed us.

 

It was a good cliffhanger and once again leaves us dying for the next episode, we have had a few episodes like that now which is just brill. As for most of this year i was almost left dreading watching the next episode as it had got so boring. I wonder how many more episodes we have of Tanya, for me the more the better.

 

Is anyone else still left thinking Jane will be back, i keep thinking she will as i find it hard to believe that was her exit storyline. As it stands now her exit doesnt add up but maybe its the best they could do in the short time frame.
