Totally agree about Linda. In my opinion since 2006 only two newish characters are in what you can call the iconic bracket, that's Stacey and Ronnie. Linda will join them. I have no doubts about that. I hope they have Kellie Bright locked on a long term deal because she is too good to let slip away.
I was the one looking forward to Kellie the most, and i thought she would fit in EE so well esp in the Queen Vic, she has the classic old feel to it and also i kinda saw that classic old feel in the Only Fools and Horses prequel Rock and Chips, where she played Del's mum, and she was one the best things about the show to be honest
Started watching EE again at Christmas after about a ten year break. The Carters are excellent. They feel like a real family and those scenes with Mick and Johnny were very good - Sam Strike seems very natural and impressive so early in his run.
I'm only going to echo what was previously said but tonight's episode was simply fantastic. Well written, understated yet outstanding acting from all involved, especially Kelly Bright, Danny Dyer and Sam Strike. Oh and that final scene was beautiful. Linda's reaction doesn't surprise me, she'll find it hard at first but I'm sure she'll come round, she only wants her kids to be happy. Anyway, I really can't wait to see how they're going to deal with this next week. Johnny is fast becoming my favourite new Carter. And Danny Pennant cares about him, who would have guessed it, hey?
I'm happy for Kat and Alfie. Kat's reaction was quite funny. As long as they stay together this time, I'll be happy.
Who the hell was Peter calling? Even though it can't happen, I'm hoping Jane. I've actually missed her and her reaction to seeing Ian and Denise dating would be priceless I guess.
Have to agree with the majority. That was an extremely well written and well acted final scene. Both actors have fast become my favourite Carters. Still not sure I want to see Johnny and Danny together. Danny seems far too predatory and Johnny not only looks a lot younger but also seems a lot younger emotionally. I might be proved wrong though. ;-)
You know what? I was thinking exactly the same. I've loved this week and I haven't been able to say that for a long time. I was a bit "meh" about the Carters but, they really are a breath of fresh air to the show.
ive watched more enders episodes in the last week, than ive watched in the last five years. its been very good - scene of the week? Sharon and dot - simple, funny scene, wonderfully acted
Hell, is it really just 8 days since we met the Carters? Apart from their very first episodes, I don't think I've ever seen a new family so quickly and well established. I was blubbing, and I barely know them yet!
It sounds really good tonight, I really like Johnny, he is so adorable, bet he is going to get so much girl fan mail. and Dan & Scrabbler stalking him ;-)
I have missed Gritty issue led Eastenders soooo much and a big welcome back!
it just goes to show how absolutely vital good writing and characterisation is. a massive massive well done to DTC and Daran Little and also Danny and Sam were outstanding
if this episode doesnt win an award ill be disgusted. One of the best episodes i've seen in years

It's good that easties is getting back on track, but I will miss taking the piss out of it too!
It's amazing how things can change so quickly. The casting is so much better now too - the Carter's acting is in such a different league to the Moon brothers or Joey/Alice.

Welcome back EastEnders - old EastEnders, proper.
I was thinking the same thing - it hasn't even been two weeks and I care more about them than I do many characters who have been about for years.

Oh god!! don't remind me how awful those Moon's were. I still cringe at that scene where Eddie confronted Michael with Tyler and Anthony pulling weird faces and looking like gormless assholes in the background! EE at its lowest ever!! thank god those days are over!!!

Should make a thread about her lol
Not one bad/sarcastic comment either tonight
I was expecting to see some of those Bigots doing the rounds but nothing.:)

Far too young for me, but he is adorable.
He could turn me ;-)

Are you dyslexic and your name is actually Tina? A bit of wine or some sunflowers and you are anybodies!
Double Doh!

Lmao
I find Johnny/Sam really cute, he just has one of them faces, you just want to hug him.
You said a similar thing to me yesterday. Get some new lines
I think Danny Dyer surprised a lot of people.
Well Done.
Must say that ending was very touching and made me cry a bit. still not keen on Linda though.

Every one of actors playing the Carters were fantastic, but special mention to Danny and Sam for those last scenes.
I half thought Kat might be expecting more than one baby, at least it isn't quads
Poor Ian...all too often he's got he's priorities wrong.:( I wonder if he'll start to change. ( I won't hold my breath
Now we have two Nancys ;-) it could get very confusing.:o
