Oh of course, how did I forget that? :drama: But as you say, that was out of anger at the betrayal more than anything else; the point I was trying to make is that Phil has never been dissatisfied with Sharon and gone with someone else. He does seem to genuinely love her, but he thinks that them being married is enough of a display of affection. The reason Sharon got with Phil in the 90s was more or less the same reasons she got with Keanu: he paid attention and treated her right, only there was genuine feelings born from that. This is what I was hoping may have been brought up during Sharon and Phil's confrontation - as Sharon said, they've been in this position before and I would have liked that history to be explored more as a way of getting through to Phil. Maybe once the more sensational angle has been explored, we can get down to these more human reactions.

I think that will happen and if both are staying with the show they will reunite them and most likely through tragedy.

4th overall most watched on x mas day on 5.5 million, strictly just slightly above it ar 3, queens speech at 2 and gavin and stacey miles in front of everyone at number 1.

I wonder what Martin has actually done if Keanu is still alive? I’m quite pleased it looks like him and Sonia are properly reuniting.

 

Mick and Shirley were c**ts to the max at the beginning of that episode. Do they really think their treatment of Linda will actually help her? They’ve gone to the effort of bringing Lee back and I’m willing him to say something but as yet, nothing.

Ya they treated her so bad, I rely hope Lee tells mick how badly he let him down.

We really need an hour long special that’s just Shirley and Sharon arguing tbh.

I'm sure we will have a few scenes of that coming our way.

Geriatric pregnant barbie :lol:

Absolutely not Lee have to apologise over and over and beg for forgiveness and then Whitney just ignoring his mental illness!

 

This was the chance for EE to right that wrong. I also cannot believe Linda went 3 years without knowing her son tried to top himself, they really don’t talk in that family.

Traffic cone on her head :rofl:

 

Priceless!!!!

 

Can someone find a gif later lol

Amazing Linda getting downstairs plastered in high heels.

Kellie Bright is amazing and really selling this Linda story. Some parts are a bit crap though, like Shirley getting in her high horse when she’s plastered most of the time herself or Mick just existing.

Omg why is Sonia scamming Dot?

I agree, when kellie is given the right scripts she is brilliant.

Kellie Bright has delivered some brilliant scenes in the last few weeks.

Her portrait of Linda as a drunk is very believable and believable to the point i want to reach into the tv and save her.

Double episodes on Friday 10th though with one at 8pm and 9pm to make up for it

What did I say about men and Eastenders?! Sexist show. Thwy are terrified of killing men off, but do it to any woman. Mel shouldn't have been the one killed off.
