Dangerous Dean delivers a bombshell: Eastenders - Tues 23rd Dec 2014 episode thread
Christmas is just 2 days away!! 2 days until the main event of the year....the Eastenders Christmas episode! I can't wait to see it and see some brilliant acting performances that it should bring with it. Therefore, I ask you in today's poll which actor's performance you are most looking forward to seeing in the Christmas Day episode out of the main four?
Back to today's episode though, and here's what's coming up:
Now that Stacey knows the truth, Linda is keen to talk about her ordeal. She once again speaks to Stacey, who urges her to tell Mick the truth. Although Linda wants to be honest with her partner, she is still wary as she wonders what it would do to their relationship. There is also an added distraction when Johnny makes an announcement that shocks his family. However, Linda eventually accepts that Mick does need to know the truth, so she informs Stacey that she is going to tell him.
At the same time, Dean is confused after being dumped by Stacey as he doesn't know what the reason is, but all becomes clear when he finds out that she has grown close to Linda. Wanting to regain control, Dean storms over to The Vic and orders Linda to stop 'lying' about him. Dean wants Linda to convince Stacey to give him another chance, but they are interrupted by Lee who wants to know what's going on. Dean then drops a bombshell in front of Lee…
Meanwhile, Emma shows Lauren the video footage that she has been given, leaving her shocked.
Elsewhere, Fatboy challenges Kush to kiss Shabnam by the end of the day. Kush later learns that Shabnam isn't allowing Tamwar and Masood to have a Christmas tree, so he decides to find a way to change her mind about embracing the spirit of the season.
Also today, Nick and Yvonne urge Dot not to tell Charlie that she caught them rekindling their romance. Yvonne insists that Nick will be leaving soon, so Charlie doesn't need to know.
Finally, Jane seeks some advice from Masood following her kiss with Ian. She isn't sure whether Ian can genuinely change, but Masood's view of the situation spurs her on to kiss Ian under the mistletoe.

With just 2 days before Christmas and the start of a lot of secrets coming out, I think it’s good to look at the key characters involved in this year’s Christmas episode:
.
Mick shows Linda and Johnny the Vic on Boxing Day (aka Boxing Dyer) 2013:

Merry Christmas to you, too, and to everyone else on the DS forums, too :-)
Thank you
I had a really tough time deciding who to vote for in today's poll. In the end, though....I am so looking forward to seeing Mick hulkify and trash the Vic!
I love Phil's open mouthed gape when he realizes Mick is Shirley's son. It's not often that his expression says anything other than, "You're shitting me."
No problem
Yeh that clip is hilarious purely due to Phil's reaction!
It should be another fantastic episode leading to Christmas!
That's OK
Yeh it should be!
No probs
Yeh it is!
Monday's episode has heightened my excitement for this week's episodes as have the trailers. The BBC should be promoting the show better though IMO.
Kellie's is the performance I'm most looking forward to. She kills it constantly.
Episode 89 has been posted, will the wedding go ahead?
DS Enders
Night all. ^_^
No problem Dullag
Sky+ed it though, Christmas is nearly here!!!! Yippie
Happy Birthday!!!!
Fanks, I am 21 again
You're welcome, Sez :-)
so looking forward to mick carter on Christmas day. it will all kick off in the vic (as usual), and albert square will b changed forever. I, for one, love the carters. mick in Linda's pink dressing gown is pure genius.
nobody, but nobody does Christmas like eastenders xo
Bloody hell you are always so miserable.
Cheer up for God's sake!
This is a great thread SB!
Thank you.
Edit.
Happy Birthday CherryRose! ^_^
Happy Birthday
I voted Danny but I'm looking forward to them all really. Mostly looking forward to Mick's reaction when Linda tells him and when he trashes the Vic. It's going to be all sorts of heartbreaking and epic. And I haven't even mentioned Mick finding out about Shirley. Danny will be so good showing Mick's darker side...
Happy Birthday CherryRose!🎉🎂🎈
I chose Linda Henry, she is criminally underrated but will give an incredible performance, as always and I cannot wait to see how Shirley will react and reveal all to Mick.
So, so true. Brilliant reaction from Phil.
