Thanks for the thread Dan.
Been reading other message boards and we're not the only ones against a Lola and Jay hook up
Me too. I have a feeling that Jay would be quite controlling. He didn't seem to realise that in pointing out Peter's 'faults' in the in-your-face manner he did outside the tube station, obviously expecting a reaction from Lola (which he got), that he was probably being more controlling than Peter ever was. All I saw Peter make was suggestions, suggestions that Lola could have said 'no thanks' to. Jay's slightly aggressive manner rang alarm bells with me for some reason, I could imagine him bossing Lola about eventually.
EE has had soldier characters before though.
Well, ex-soldier characters.
Grant who was traumatised by the Falkland conflict and Sean who was traumatised by Iraq I presume.
Sonia and Tina are great and it doesn't feel contrived, which is good seeing as it was a very obvious pairing.
I'm really disliking Bianca and cheered when Sonia gave her a few home truths!
It's nice to see Ronnie is still being portrayed as a £d character rather than just as a pantomime psycho - the Lola and Ronnie storyline is actually pretty interesting!
BIB: Bloody loved it, especially as it echoed what Terry said to her the other day :cool:
I have to disagree. I thought the actor who played lee was very good displayed a real vulnerability and I liked the scenes of the three generations. However going on the thread your opinion is more popular than mine
It's OK you're not alone, I really liked them too!
The scenes with Lola in hospital after just been hit by a car and thrown up it the air and onto the road ends up sat up right in A&E waiting room. WTF?
She'd have been taken in on a spinal board, with a neck collar and in an ambulance.
I get concerned when a soap cant get basic scenes like that right, I hope to god it's a blip.
DTC don't be too over confident and start f'in up the basics!!!
Roxy: Where's Amy... her concerned lasted for a second and instead of going to collect Amy she went to shag Alek. I hate all this Danielle/Lola nonsense, I like villian Ronnie not '101 ways to make Ronnie's life miserable' Ronnie.
I used to like Roxy but she's getting on my last nerve now. She only seems to think she's worth something if she has the appropriate job and man on her arm. Surprised Ronnie's not screaming at her about how lucky she is to have Amy and she'd gladly swap places. Roxy is behaving like a teenager and it's about time the silly bint grew up >:(
Loved all the Ronnie & Dan..LOLA parts. I re-watched the end part and i still didn't realise it was deano until i read the forum and i've seen spoilers of him he looks so different, unlike carly who looks exactly the same.
Truly appalling episode from start to finish full of unlikeable characters sort it out DTC the cracks are appearing.
Lee pulling those weird faces when crying. It came across as fake no emotion in his performance.
Lola not putting the nurse straight that Ronnie isn't her mum. Will no doubt again start the weird obsession some Eastenders fans have about wanting Lola to be Ronnie's daughter.
Rest of the episode wasn't interesting enough to comment on further.

Its already started on Facebook! Saying danielle and lola were swapped at birth and all that nonsense.
Once again, I loved the scene with Lee and Mick. Although, I have to be honest, Lee's crying face was hilarious!:D But the acting was still great all around!:) However, I don't think Mick should have pushed him to go back, I know he's encouraging him to go back for good intentions, but it's clear that Lee is a bit mentally unstable as shown at the start of the episode when he was attempting to run away, he's not in a good state to go back. Obviously running away is not the answer, there are better ways to leave. I did feel sorry for him though, it must have been very traumatic. I actually thought his secret would be that he killed a civilian but it would probably spark controversy. I know it's unlikely but I can't help but feel there might be more to that secret.
I felt sorry for both Ronnie and Lola too. However, I think the aftermath of that accident was handled a bit unrealistically. There's no way she would be waiting in A&E, I was expecting the ambulance to come and give her neck support as well as carry her off in a lifter but that never happened. The car stunt was also underwhelming last night. I can't help but feel this was all a bit unnecessary. Easter is never a good time for Ronnie, seeing Lola in that state brought back past memories of Danielle. Still that didn't stop Charlie from giving her some comfort.
Bianca was also much better tonight. I still don't care for Sonia but something is clearly going to happen between her and Tina at some point. Rebbeca seems like a nice girl and the duff duff was good, Deano's back! I look forward to seeing the drama unravel next week, I wonder if Deano's dark side will be explored, it was only shown in his last episode which was a shame. But on the plus side, he's back now and I can't wait to see what happens next!:) And before you say it, yes! I was also thinking of Sez Babe!:D

In your opinon, most people on here enjoyed last night's episode.
Its all too much too soon with the Carters. I'm starting to get tried of them. I love the Linda, Mick, Johnny and Nancy dynamic but I don't rate Lee so far. I thought his acting was horrendous and it distracted me from the entire seriousness of the scene. I guess its also a struggle accepting Kellie Bright and Danny Dyer as having three adult children. Don't stone me but I'm not really interested in Stan either. No matter how good Timothy West might be - his acting is putting the rest of his onscreen family to shame.
I wish Tina hadn't been one of them either. There is just too many of them and now we have Dean back. Too many cooks spoil the broth comes to mind. Its happening so DTC needs to be very careful. Don't get me wrong I love most of them but I'm worried their bubble is about to burst.
The Ronnie and Lola stuff was intriguing. Going to be interesting seeing where this is going. Also liked her partnership with Charlie. That was the only stuff I enjoyed last night.
Oh and Sonia. She has just slotted back in like she hasn't been away and you know, her and Tina do have chemistry.
Just caught up on the episode, seems I am in the minority for liking the Mick and Lee scenes. I think Danny-Boy played the scene where he was re-living the nasty experience of his friend dying very well. Yes, his crying face may have looked hilarious to some, but it was tears mixed with anger which may have accounted for this, plus everyone's face looks different when they cry anyway. I personally thought at the time that it was a good piece of acting- just my opinion anyway.
I also liked the Charlie and Ronnie pairing, it'll be interesting to see if that develops further. Roxy I am indifferent too, never really liked the character all that much, particularly since she became more than friends with the buffoon Alfie really. She is quite a selfish and immature character, who I find difficult to warm to. Plus, Aleks just annoys me, so I'm not really interested in this pairing.
Like others, I found the Ronnie and Lola scenes creepy but interesting.
where the heck is all the Ronnie and Lola stuff heading?
why didnt Lola correct the doctor when she called Ronnie her mum?
it was all a little bit weird and creepy.....but good weird and creepy, Im intreiuged as to where this is all heading
There were three times they could have corrected it;
1. When the nurse originaly said mum - Ronnie should have said something but I guess was worried she would be asked to leave
2. Ronne and Lola say how weird it was that the nurse called her her mum.
3. Lola could easily have said Ronnie wasn't her mum and when the nurse said "She won't ket you out of her sight now" I think that was when it got creepy for Lola. She is now in Ronnie's control possy along with Roxy and Amy!

Yes evil Martin will drive Sonia into the arms of Tina.
Me too. I have a feeling that Jay would be quite controlling.

Ha, I was fully expecting it.
I like her much more now that they've decided what she is and stopped making her a bit of a tragedy queen heroine.
Agree with the above two posts. Those scenes had me hooked.
Perhaps Linda sent over industrial supplies of sunblock, protecting her baby's skin, lol!
Good call. I never thought of that.
I have to admit that scenario crossed my mind too.
EE has had soldier characters before though.
Well, ex-soldier characters.
Grant who was traumatised by the Falkland conflict and Sean who was traumatised by Iraq I presume.
That reminds me of when Pauline Fowler threw "JACKSON!" at her as an insult
She said it like the name Jackson was horse muck and lowest of the low.
Cruel ... but true
They make great mates.
Thinking about it though Tina and Sonia is an improvement on Tina and LoadofTosh.
She really has no self awareness does she?
He's very pretty isn't he?
Going to enjoy watching him :cool:
BIB: Bloody loved it, especially as it echoed what Terry said to her the other day :cool:
It's OK you're not alone, I really liked them too!
Well said! Bloomin' ridiculous.
Exactly what I thought too. They don't exactly send you back to the front or shoot you at dawn nowadays do they?!
Hard habit to break SULLA!
Be ages before he's Dean to me.
I used to like Roxy but she's getting on my last nerve now. She only seems to think she's worth something if she has the appropriate job and man on her arm.

Shurl IS his mother tho
.....
I also wanted Bianca to shock Rebecca by outing her mum! :kitty:
I've seen that idea about since the first time they met years ago.
Oh for crying out loud has it? People are idiots. There is over 6 years difference between them in age for one thing!
Is there? I thought Ronnie said tonight her daughter was 19 when she died? Still it is ridiculous

It was always Dean O'Wicks for me.
Somebody should tell Lee that the British army is leaving Afghanistan

They'll have her turning up in the Square with a black eye next.

So Ronnie slept with Charlie, but Roxy is not allowed to sleep with Aleks ?
