Hello everyone :D


Coming up on tonight’s Eastenders:

When Mick interrupts Aunt Babe and Stan's argument, he is shocked when Stan reveals that Babe knows where Shirley is. Babe is forced to tell Mick that someone has been living in their caravan, but she thinks it's just kids messing around. Despite this, Mick decides that it's worth a look anyway and Dean joins him. The journey initially seems fruitless when Shirley isn't in the caravan, but they soon see Shirley heading towards them. Shirley is stunned to realise that Babe has been deceiving her when Mick explains that Phil is fine and has covered for her with the police, meaning that there's no reason for her to hide anymore. Mick also reveals that Stan has terminal cancer, but a shaken Shirley still refuses to come home as she says they are all better off without her. Once Mick and Dean leave, a man emerges from the darkness and embraces Shirley…

Meanwhile, Johnny has invited Ben to Lee's birthday celebrations, but Lee makes him feel unwelcome as he doesn't want a murderer hanging around. Ben decides to leave when he realises that he isn't welcome, but Johnny rushes after him and tries to apologise for his older brother's behaviour. Ben leans in to kiss Johnny but when he hears Abi approaching, he gets cold feet and shouts at Johnny to back off. Ben also calls Johnny some insulting names, but he pays the price when Lee steps in and attacks him. Unfortunately, Lee accidentally knocks over Nancy in his raging state. Lee is soon left regretting his aggressive behaviour when Fatboy and Lauren speculate over how Whitney will react to the news. At the same time, Abi takes Ben back to the Branning house to clean him up and they end up kissing as Ben continues his attempts to prove that he is straight.

Elsewhere, when Stan catches up with Cora, she isn't pleased with him for keeping his illness a secret from her. Will Stan be able to reason with Cora?

    In Matt's backstage interview a few months ago he did that say that "something happens in the future and Shirley takes Dean's side" Hmm.....

    Anytime :)
    See I assumed that he was talking about the 'weed' thing, when Shirley was looking out for him. The interview was a few months before that aired. It would be a bad move for Shirley to believe Dean, though understandable, I reckon she will be torn on who to believe...I still can't believe they did this to Dean, I liked him!:cry:

    What's the betting we dont see Buster till the last scene. I wonder when they reveal his secret identity ie that he is Andy.

    EastEnders style isn't it? Show the new character or returning character at the very end?!:D

    Metro says for Thurs: Mick and Dean take drastic measures to get Shirley back in Walford and it involves stealing a caravan but Shirley has a bombshell of her own as a face from the Carters’ past joins her on her involuntary trip back to Albert Square.

    So if he is Mick's dad, Andy, then he has been in their lives as the Carters know him already, including Mick. It would be good if Mick had known his dad all along but didn't know who he really was, like Mick doesn't know about Shirley. But then would Andy know about Mick..intrigued.(presuming that is who he is).

    This is why I don't like them revealing things like this. A cliffhanger is a cliffhanger for a reason, otherwise it's just "yep knew it" then you wait two days until the next episode.

    Well if he is Andy (which he is) he is from the Carters past but that doesn't mean he knows Mick.

    It does get boring tho, we used to occasionally get new characters at the start of an episode rather than the end.

    I agree. They could introduce him in the midst of the episode like the Cokers randomly dancing and singing :D

    Oh I know! Much better when they are introduced earlier on than in the last 2 minutes. Remember Stacey's return?!:o
