EASTENDERS: (Fri 16/09/11 @ 8.00) – Like Nasa, Michael discovers a new Moon...

thejoyof_pat · 16/09/11 - 17:01

*Welcome to the EastEnders discussion thread (16/09/11)*

*Coming up tonight at 8:00 BBC1/BBC1 HD & 10:00pm BBC3*

>Having promised to tell Michael everything, Eddie brings his son to an assisted living home. When they arrive, Eddie introduces Michael to Craig - his secret son, who has Down's syndrome. Michael is shocked by the revelation that he has a half-brother he never knew about, but Eddie corrects him by explaining that Craig is actually his full brother. Craig is pleased that Michael is visiting as Eddie had promised him that he'd get to meet his family one day, but Michael is unhappy that they weren't introduced sooner. As tensions rise, Eddie makes it clear that Michael and Craig's mother wasn't the saint they make her out to be.

And

> Michael soon spends some time getting to know his brother and is moved when he sees that Craig has a St Christopher around his neck just like him. Later, Eddie and Michael return to the hospital, where Tyler's condition remains critical as he undergoes life-saving surgery. Pushing for more answers, Michael asks Eddie for the truth about his mother. Will Michael believe what Eddie has to say? And will Tyler pull through?

Also

> Jack finally discovers that Darren has been stealing from the car lot and tells Jodie what her fiancé has been up to, prompting her to call off the wedding. When Darren seeks advice from Tamwar and Fatboy, they assure him that Jodie does love him and so he shouldn't give up on their future.

Furthermore >>>

* Anthony confides in Jodie about everything that's going on, so she offers him a comforting hug. When Darren sees this, he misinterprets it as a romantic moment. Soon afterwards, Darren decides to go out drinking with Lauren and the pair end up sharing a passionate kiss.

Show Darren some love
On set with…Anthony Moon

I'm hoping tonight's writing will make up for the lost opportunity of last night in terms of Michael and Eddie's relationship.

It could be good and might be interesting to see Michael with his secret brother.

Shows that the viewers don't dislike the Moons as much as some would have you believe

Not really. The majority will have no idea who the episode is based around before watching. As someone said this morning. The Ferreira kidney story had 12.4 million viewers in 2004. Was it any good or were they popular?

walford-e20 · 16/09/11 - 19:45

Looking forward to hearing the revelations about Michael's mum, and hopefully seeing another side to Michael tonight.

Does anyone know if there are unknown revelations or is it just about

Craig?

I think Eddie tells him how his mum really was rather than what he thinks
