So Go on... Bring Me Up to Speed...
I'm an avid corrie watcher - always have been, always will be. I haven't watched Eastenders properly in years, but you know what? This whole Lucy thing looks amazing and I'm going to start watching.
So what do I need to know? Is there any plots or anything I should be aware of before everything kicks off tomorrow? Thanks in advance.

How many years has it been since you last watched? Just wondering who you would know....
I'm sort of aware of a few bits and pieces, I know most of the characters, Don't know a massive amount about the Carters but they do look like they've been a big part of making Eastenders good again.
What's been happening with the Beales leading up to this? What's Lucy been doing to get to this point? Also who is Cindy?
And finally Dean. Formally known has Deano. He came back this week - Stan has helped him in the past (we've been told) and he was finally seen at first watching Shirley and Mick talking outside the Vic and he was stood in the middle of the Square. Then he turned up at Stan's wanting to be hidden, and then we saw him having stolen mobile phones. Stan got arrested and covered for him and he was last seen hiding in the alley way by the Vic when Shirley talked to Stan, and then Stan telling him that he'd be calling in the favour (for him taking the rap) very soon - which is implied to be Dean talking to Shirley.
Wow, that's one family. Any questions?
OK...easy one first - Cindy Jr. is Cindy's daughter - the daughter she had when she died in childbirth. Both Peter and Lucy lived in Devon for a bit and Cindy arrived last year. Ian's reluctantly let her stay as she's Lucy and Peter's sister.
Lucy and Lauren have recently gone into business together, well, Lauren working for Lucy. They run a letting agency and have been letting flats. Lucy has very recently also been sleeping with Max. She also slept with Lee and they've been quite close, well in tonight's episode anyway! A lot of stuff, I think anyway, we haven't seen which I suppose makes sense as we're supposed to find out loads of stuff once she's died.
Ian's been obsessed with getting his business with Jane back up and running and so he and Lucy have had some arguments - Lucy stole his credit card to buy alcohol for the opening of her business, for example.
Peter's in a miscommunication relationship with Lola which is looking to fail soon..
Cindy is Lucy and Peter's half sister on their mothers side
Cindy is also pregnant with Bianca's fella's son (TJ)
Lauren and Lucy have started their own letting agency together
Lucy's having a secret fling with Max because apparently she's jealous of Max being a more supportive father than Ian is and she seeks security and being made to feel special.
Lucy has also been sleeping with Lee Carter (who's been with Whitney too)
Someone took a picture of Max and Lucy together and emailed it to Max as a threat to reveal them.
Cindy made Ian search Lucy's jewellery box after she acted defensive about it and he found drugs.
Maybe I should watch tonight's episode on Iplayer
I think you've covered what I need to know but I'll be back if I have questions : D
Janine got off the hook for killing Michael.
Ronnie killed Carl.
No worries, anytime. Ask as many questions as you like
I'd recommend watching tonight's episode to know more about the Lucy storyline, but maybe watch Tuesday's to learn more about the Carters
And yeah, you're probably best watching this week's episodes on iPlayer too.
She's a brand new character....I can't remember her name She had one seen on Monday telling Kat and Bianca that she wouldn't wear their 'tat' Spring Lane is merging with Bridge Street market and she's from the women's wear stall on Spring Lane. That's all we know.
Let us know what you think of the Carters
Oooh talking of smoking....Dean may smoke now too. We saw a hoodied guy watch Shirley from afar a few months back and it may have been Dean. The hoodied figure smoked.....That would tie in with him just watching Shirley and Mick from afar last week. Do you remember Dean from his first stint? What do you think of the change in him?
I agree, I loved that bit with Stan too. Not that I agree with advice on cheating(!) but it was nice to see the relaxed relationship they have.
Haha kind of. Here are some clips from his last episode in 2008:

Bit different from this, eh?!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU2yUUiooZw
Shirley trying to see Dean earlier in the year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Fz1ZET37s
Dean's first scene this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i9aPXrx7M0
Nah, Easties!
Ah thanks. I'll give those a watch in a bit.
Who's Roxy's new fella? Seems like a bit of a slime ball
Also can I just say Shirley is perfect behind the bar at the Vic.
Haha don't worry I haven't deserted the cobbles
He pocketed Bianca and Kat's market rent money, Ronnie paid him to beat up the brother of the man she ended up killing (in self defense before anyone tells you otherwise!)
Ronnie also paid him to go on a date with Roxy (she still doesn't know) but when Roxy started to get too fast with him, Ronnie tried to warn him off but he hasn't listened.
She's about to have pups with the Branning's dog Tramp. (Lady and the Tramp!! )
She growled at Sharon too when she was having a go at Shirley! :cool:
Ooh. So is he genuinely interested in Roxy or are we to believe he has other motives?
Thanks for the replies everyone.
I think he likes her but he also likes the idea of winding Ronnie up. I think he knows that Ronnie has pushed the boundaries as a person so he likes the challenge of squaring up against her, if that makes sense? ^_^
Yeah I understand why did she pay him to date Roxie if she clearly knows he's a wrongun?
