    It was a cracking episode and I generally did not see that secret coming. EE really is on fire at the moment and I really hope they can keep it up going into Christmas.

    I don't know if he was drink driving.

    It sounds like they were arguing and he says she distracted him and he hit the child. Sounds like that's what got him onto the drink.

    I kind of like how they've reversed expectations. Everyone thought the alcoholic would be the villain or a wife beater but they're kind of hinting that this controlling ball-breaker of a wife has caused his problems.

    I didn't think it was all that great, considering Simon Ashdown wrote it.

    Mainly because I'm not very interested in Sadie and Jake.

    why stop there, sure it wasnt the best episode ever? lol

    Dont know what you all were watching, it was different but these ppl seem foreign to me.Such a reveal lacks any impact due to the fact both characters have been so poorly developed

    I doubt it was meant to have that kind of an impact, but more intrigue to delve deeper into the characters.

    Hence the reason it's a part of their backstory as opposed to something they've had happen in the actual show.

    dont know if its the fact they are relatively unknown, if its jamie's accent/acting or katie magowan's photogenic looks but it didnt feel like EE.Felt like i was watching a new soap on channel 4

    It was easily the best half-hour of tele I've ever watched in my forty-odd years on this blue marble.

    OMG, brilliant, fab, sick, OMG again.

    It was good - and I'm glad they've got the twist of having killed the child. It will be interesting to see what happens next with that - does anyone else know they killed the child, or was it a hit and run? Hmm...

    I thought it was pretty decent. Without the reveal, it might've been a bit of a damp squib. But the reveal gave the episode a punch. As for Sadie and Jake, they haven't been developed enough (especially Sadie), but I think we should start to see more of that development now that Jake and Sadie have moved into the Square. Tonight was the right step in that direction I think.

    but thats my point i wasnt even intrigued, ppl are ohhh and awwwwing saying what a twist but it left me numb for the reason I stated.Its very reminiscent of the way whitney's brother was reintroduced to the square.We were given all this exposition in the dialogue between him and whit's mom but it didnt quite compute because the characters were strangers

    I actually found this to be the weakest episode of the past few weeks, due to the dominance of Jake and Sadie, neither of whom I feel I know. When you don't know the character all that well, finding out some deep dark secret is about as riveting as reading it in 'take a break'.

    this, their marriage was the worst kept secret and no one was clamoring to find out more about them.The director also hurt both actors with the way that scene was shot.It shouldnt have been a long scene their limitations were in clear view.We should have got drips and drabs with the crescendo being the fact they killed a child.The way it was executed just seemed clunky

    Ive been watching EE since 1990 let me tell you this the past few years have been terrible but tonight watching Sadie and jake got me excited like the old days of EE I even said to my mum I love the way these new characters have been bought in slowly with a massive strory as soon as they move in the square.
    Watching tonights episode felt like a fresh start esp the scenes with jake and Sadie yes it sorta felt like a different soap because of the set but you know what I enjoyed it and this is coming from a life long EE fan

    The Jake and Sadie parts made me feel like i was watching something else so i know what you mean there :p

    It's probably because Sadie hasn't had a scene like this before today and Jake's accent isn't something you would usually hear in Eastenders. Also we ain't used to seeing the house they are living in.

    Metoo. I don't know these people, so don't care about what they've been up to. Jake is just unpleasant (yes I know he's meant to be hot) and Sadie's not hanging around.
