Eastenders 2022

[Pingu]

I’m playing catch-up here… still about a week behind but I have a couple of questions:

Isn’t Rainie and Stuart’s baby literally THEIR baby? Surely it’s not Bernie’s call to make whether or not they keep him?

Since when was Jay back at the undertakers?

It’s Stuart and Bernie’s biological child. I don’t think they actually signed a contract for the surrogacy because of the payment involved which wasn’t legal?

 

[Inner Smile]

I have to say I have became quite attracted to Zack

Jean has been brilliant as always

 

[Inner Smile]

And she's back!!

 

[COB]

Where has this call centre storyline come from? Bernie to form a union then lead a communist vanguard please

 

[COB]

This 'Walford Attacker' stuff has come out of nowhere too, but I quite like it.

 

[Ellie]

Ben Mitchell - vigilante against homophobes!

 

[Ellie]

Was that Idris Elba doing the credits link there?

 

[COB]

We got one of the usual Scottish ones here, but he is doing some new BBC Three show soon so maybe he's doing continuity links to promote it

 

[Inner Smile]

Far too excited for Sam's return tomorrow!

How CAMP

Reasonably average looking woman in her 40s STOPS the room dead with all eyes on her with sledge hammer exposition and "IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK" line.

It’s just like when I returned to Moopy a couple of months back.

ART IMITATING LIFE

 

[COB]

Just caught up, what a queen

 

[Rita]

Kim Medcalf must have been over the moon when she got the call to return. She seems to have done very little since playing Sam last time round.

I can’t think of anything other than Celebrity Fame Academy.

 

[Rita]

I can’t think of anything other than Celebrity Fame Academy.

According to Wikipedia she has done another couple of bits and bobs but nothing really worth talking about. I’m not sure if she was taking part in touring productions of anything or Panto to pay the bills, but on tv she has done very little in the past 17 years since she left the show.

 

[Rita]

Also, how the HELL is it 17 years since she left?

 

[Ellie]

I can’t think of anything other than Celebrity Fame Academy.

i saw her in the West End in Hay Fever with Judi Dench, but that was a LONG time ago.

 

[supermassive]

It's MIND BOBBLING that the BBC passed on Daniella

 

[Star]

Oooh so what's the plan here? How is she going to save Phil?

 

[Inner Smile]

Buzzing for Sam

 

[Inner Smile]

Has there ever been a better argument than this? Peggy was a nasty old cow

 

[Inner Smile]

 

[COB]

"We've had Brexit and Covid, we don't need you too"

 

[COB]

Camp!

 

[Star]

Whenever an old character returns you feel like you need a recap of their history. I can't remember why everyone hates Sam!

Maybe her involvement in Den’s death? Wasn’t she also frolicking around with Andy the gangster? Obviously abandoning her son after initially trying to say it was Ricky’s baby too.

Not sure what Ben has against her.

 

[Inner Smile]

That brexit line was just ridic

 

[Inner Smile]

Wasn’t she also frolicking around with Andy the gangster?

"I leave Sam my ring so she can sell it, get her roots done and still be the dumbest blonde I ever knew."

 

[Star]

I mean how can she not recognise her own son??

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What a relief to know Sharon's politics.

 

[supermassive]

Can you believe it's been nearly 21 years?


The DUBIOUS line delivery of
..You're NOT? :O
So...
...WHO IS?

is just

 

[ButterTart]

I imagine that scene would have been quite effective if either of them could act.

 

[Rita]

Pauline Fowler is TERRIBLE in this. Was she always such a bad actress?

Can't be long before the full episode is on Classic Eastenders on Drama!

 

[COB]

"Speak for Phil? She couldn't speak for Sooty" The writers seem to be relishing all this campery. I do love the idea of Sam coming in and just fucking everything up, as usual

 

[supermassive]

I do need a 10 minute Sharon best bits video.
Queen of the Comeback

 

[COB]

This has been a very good week, particularly tonight's - they don't pair up Stacey and Shirley as often as they should, they work really well together.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Why does the gay bar sell PORRIDGE?

 

[Rita]

You do wonder what Jeans episode is going to escalate to.
