ok this week was pretty entertaining. as the teens set off on the camping trip abi was becoming worried that she is pregnant and let on that there was nothing wrong with her in a group situation but with jay she was treating him diffrently in a more of a huff kind of mood. after jay confronted her she revealed she may be pregnant. this is when the 2 realised they both have diffrent plans for life. after abi took the test and turned out she wasnt pregnant they argued about there diffrences and as jay was drowning his sorrows at the local pub he was caught by dex kissing kitty the barmaid. back at the campsite jay told dex it didnt mean anything. dex stated that it stays with you forever

dex on the other hand had more to worry about expecally at the taught of facing phil mitchell after they lost his money. with all the gang accusing everyone in the wrong little did they realise the thief was among them CINDY. when they returned to walford. who was waiting for them PHIL! that scene with jay and dex facing phil was scarey but what was even more scarey was in the archers with phil and dex. I TAUGHT PHIL WAS GOING TO CUT OFF HIS HAND!


We also saw billy bag himself a date with a girl called tara. little did he realise she was only in it for his money!

we also saw ollie becoming famillar with jeans bipolar disorder.

great week. any views?

Predictable. The only thing unpredictable was Phil not ruining Dexters hand with a hammer, I thought he would of, but oh well.

Phil was never going to do it. As always, he's all mouth and no action. Plus, it would be too strong content for EE... It was still a pretty good scene though.

The change of location was nice, but the rest was pretty mediocre.

Yeah, I think the scene with Phil showed us that he was still a maniac, maybe even more now as he may feel that he's loosing it and has lost some respect over the past couple of years.

Still, they should have took the risk and done it!
This is one of the reasons why soaps are failing, no risk taking!

Kids should be in bed by 6! ruining it for the rest of us!

Since when has King Phil had any respect, let alone ever been worthy of it?

I love Cindy and I love how they did this. Up until the duff duff she has been pretty much a normal teen. Who even at times came across as quite sweet. Then we find out she is just a bitch! lol No silly smirking or weird looks after every sentence just a natural realistic reveal.

I like the actress who plays her too. The likes of Gemma Bissix could learn something here.


Things are looking good for the Beale's.

A bit 'meh' for me. The secret could have been Peter had stolen money in Devon. Cindy? Do we need another version of Lucy?

Good acting from Ben Hardy. No Lauren so thumbs up! Kim and Billy scenes were good. Danielle Harold - I like her acting! Gillian- excellent as always but this s/l has run its course maybe.

Still not compulsive viewing for me compared to its ITV rivals.

It was no worse than any of the sh*t we've been spoonfed by EE over the last year.

Pretty boring week for me.

Not warming to Cindy at all to be honest, we already have Lucy for that role and she's in the same family!

All mouth and no action really? on this occasion yes because he actually likes Dexter I believe.

How can anyone say that look at his past.

(just to add)
If it wasn't for half of the square Christian would not of survived

terrible week with teens on tour, greek cindy, flabbi & dextaaaaaaaa with the faux patios init with filler scenes of shrieking Jean with the windmill arms & Billy being the butt of the joke in the writing room.

thank god its over, the only saving grace was red bull phill threatening to smack that gobby chav with a wrench mind you now its back to kirsty the skank kat the slapper and the never ending saga of dolls house starring max & carl

It was obvious that annoying little cow was the thief. She wasn't there in the initial discussion about the money being missing and then she suddenly appeared without anyone thinking that was weird either and lets not forget she was left alone in the caravan too.

What is the silly idiot going to do with the money without being noticed though?

On another note, I don't think EE xan continue much longer on 4 episodes a week generally and even more so with them focusing in on teenage characters. 4 episodes a week means there is no time for rehearsals and it so shows in their acting! I think the acting among some of the newest additions is pretty amateurish and thats puting it mildy. Had they had less episodes to do a week, then they should be able to rehearse and come up with better storylines.

This away trip was not a patch on the ones EE used to do in the 90's which where brilliant.

I was surprised by it being Cindy that took the money - I went for the more obvious solution of it being Kitty's dad.

I guess it has set Cindy up as being Cindy II but as another poster said, we already have Lucy in that role so not really sure what the point is.

I also knew it was Cindy before the reveal, it was obvious, but it doesnt matter anyway as they didnt drag it into a 'whodunnit' storyline
