Looks like Sam is back to filming today after a week off. Glad they're keeping him busy.

wonderful news

Danny Dyer just tweeted this:

@MrDDyer: “@tracyjones129: @MrDDyer when is mick Carter back on our tv ??”<The Carter's are back next week. It's time to get dark..eastenders styley.

Gotta admit, I'm happy to see things might be getting dark for The Carters. I love dark.

You're not the only one

can't believe it's actually next week we'll see Johnny again, and in new episodes/scenes

I know, less than a week to go now!

Johnny is in every episode the week after next (though it was kind of obvious from the spoilers.) I think Lee is due to make his first appearance on the 4th but he isn't in the episode credits so I can't say for sure. They might be holding him off for a surprise doof doof at the end. It looks like it's a very Carter-dominant week with them getting top billing on the credits every day but one.

And finally, a ridiculously gorgeous picture of Sam for Sport Relief:

I'm sure we've all already seen it but I just had to post it.

He soo cute

I hadn't seen the picture, but very many thank you's!

Ha, I just figured because he retweeted it that people would have seen it! It's a lovely picture so I'm glad you've had the chance to see it.

A couple more of him from the same event, with the actor that plays Jay:

Been wondering if it's worth watching the whole of Sport Relief on iplayer just for him. But it's sooooo long and I don't even know if he was even in it or if he was just doing stuff backstage. Did anyone on here watch it?

By the time I wrote my previous post, I hadn't checked my twitter timeline. I did afterwards, and saw it- along with pictures of Jamie

How long did it last though, Sports Relief I mean?

Sam and Jamie had a swimming challenge. It was on during Sundays Sport Relief game show. Think with in the first hour. Will not say who wins in case you want to see it.

Brilliant, will have a look on iplayer tonight.

Lots of Johnny stuff has gone up in the detailed spoilers for the week after next. Won't post them all here but this article sums most of it up nicely:

Timothy West talks a little bit about how Stan responds to Johnny in this article:

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2...-everyone.html

Sounds like Johnny is in for an emotional week!

Lots of Johnny coming up = me being thrilled, lol It'll be good to have him back onscreen, after what has felt like a month with no Johnny. (has it been a month?)

Either way, I look forward to his scenes with Sharon & Stan the most. People outside his little circle

I'm also looking forward to those scenes. I think a friendship between Johnny and Sharon would be very interesting. With Linda increasingly pushing Johnny away (and I think it will get even worse when Lee turns up), it would actually be very sweet if Sharon started looking out for Johnny and took him under her wing a little bit.

Sam retweeted this earlier:

Lee Morgan ‏@leemorgan_mgnt · 3h
@SamStrike , guest role in the new sitcom Give Out Girls @SkyLivingHD Coming soon, http://www.sky.com/tv/show/give-out-girls …, big thanks to @AndyBCasting

I don't have Sky so I don't know if I'll be able to watch but I'll try and see if I can download it somewhere. I wonder when Sam had a chance to film this?

That's exactly what I hope for regarding Johnny/Sharon For her to take him under her wing

Didn't realise this appreciation was on here. Sam is great! I follow him on Twitter and like him on FB.

welcome to the thread and fellow Sam/Johnny fan! The more the merrier

Welcome to the thread! Please post often.

And happy new Johnny episodes day, everyone! Two whole episodes tonight featuring Johnny! So excited!

YES! Happy new Johnny episodes day, lol The day has FINALLY arrived!

I'm having pizza and wine tonight to celebrate.

It's such a good feeling to know that we've got new Johnny episodes for the rest of this week and ALL of next week. Our patience has finally been rewarded.

Cute picture.

That is an excellent idea! I think I'll celebrate too with a pizza & coke for me

It certainly is, and knowing what's to come for our favorite guy will be icing on the cake- at least for me. I can't wait to see him in scenes with Sharon

Same. Really excited to see him working in the new bar, branching out into other storylines and interacting with different characters like Sharon.

And Lee has definitely been confirmed to arrive at some point next week (I think he'll probably get the doof doof on Friday) so we'll finally get to see how well Johnny gets on with his big brother.

That is cute. Makes me all smiley, lol



seriously, I can not wait for Lee to show up. I want three for three in regards to my favorite men in EE. Johnny, Charlie- and hopefully Lee
