Thats what I thought. Everyone praises someone doing a measly 1 length with a cringy backing track (couldnt something less excruiciatingly naff be used as the song?) above some poor sod who's clearly exhausted themselves swimming for 19 lengths with no thanks??

Although I think many viewers were grateful for the topless shot of Dean- thanks DTC. More please!

Mick and Shirley played blinders tonight - congrats Danny and Linda!

About time someone asked Ian why he's being so blase towards Lucy's appeal, you go Peter!

Ollie x Jean being no more.

Ah, of course, Stacey's Bipolar would be possible grounds for an appeal...

Someone needs to kill Raine already. There's literally nothing interesting [or good] about her.

The only great thing about tonight's EastEnders was the Dean scene after he got out of the pool 😍 IMO

It's already got it's own youtube video

Goddamn I love EastEnders.

exactly what I was wondering

obviously Shirley knows and Linda but do Nancy and Johnny know? really confusing

The whole family know that he has a fear of water (the kids probably don't know why but that doesn't make the fear any less valid), and I suspect any onlooker would have worked it out as well before Mick dived in - and by the fact that he was only doing one lap.

thanks, I wasnt sure if Nancy and Johnny knew

Another shockingly poor episode. They should have showed these episodes whilst the commonwealth games were on, as it is the ones showed on BBC2 whilst the games were on were some of the best in recent months.

This was certainly a weak episode compared to what we have been getting.

I realise they are going out of their way to show Danny Dyer is playing against type and that is great for Danny but its all abit too in our faces now. We get it EE, we get it!!

I can't work Dean out. He resents Shirley for walking out on him as a child yet in 2007 they were on good terms. He only changed his tune after prison and that wasn't anything to do with Shirley. It was Dean's own fault he ended up inside. I also have no idea why he has such an issue with Mick. Mick has been nothing but kind to Dean yet Dean is jealous as sin for some reason. Its difficult to understand why he would feel this way. Dean and Carly were loved by Kevin and grew up in a happy home minus of Shirley not being there so all this tragic childhood stuff is bull crap. Sometimes EE must hope viewers forget things. Deano - 2007 a wimp ~ Dean of 2014 acting like the hard man. Give me strength. Dot Cotton could probably take him in a fight!

I actually hope Mick kicks the shit out of him when he finds out about Linda.

Alfie -- arghhhhh If Ronnie kills him off I wouldn't mind.

I thought the ending was SOOOOOO funny, I roared out with laughter!

Mick should just tell the Police the truth. Maybe not name Ian but mention why he stopped, what he was doing there and tell them that just moments before he was doing the sponsored dive. Why wasn't his family with him btw?

She's vile.


No more Jean Boyden then


Perhaps she will get yet another happy ever after


Alfie has never liked Jean


Exactly


She would certainly be safe from sinking


to get arrested I assume


I did not witness him doing 19 lengths.


Stacey will have a licence to kill. I suggest we send her a wish list.


That was very bad. Eggheads is always on at 6pm. That scene was early afternoon at the latest.


I like Lorraine.


This will turn out to be pressure on Ian to go the Police and explain.

He didn't want them soaking his upholstery, he probably made them walk home.
