Recap on The Week Thus Far: 1. Max took out his sexual frustrations on every one else with even Dot feeling his wrath. Tosser. 2. Lauren was glowing (isn't she always?) after a quick fumble with 'lothario' Dean. 3. Dot was having a jumble sale and was happy for all donations except anything from Bianca's rainbow wardrobe, Shirley's leather (which has no place at the vicar's table) and twosies. Her VPL caused a stir on Monday. 4. Carol returned to the Square. 5. Jabi planned a new life in Bolton or 'up North somewhere.' Lola wasn't happy. 6. Charlie continued to play doting grandson but Max is wary of him and Emma 'Walford's Worst Detective' told him he isn't a detective.... 7. Whitney bored us with another romance and chose her niece (Sausage surprise's grandaughter) over playing hide the sausage. Good on you Whit. 8. Kim is performing for Beyoncé fetishists on the webcam and pretending to be on a cruise ship. 9. Ian wants Patrick to go into a home. Denise is torn with Mas telling her to look after him and Dot speaking from experience saying she couldn't cope with Jim. 10. Shabnam missed her dentist appointment. On This Day:

Part 2- Meet The Cottons
CHARLIE COTTON
Lone wolf Charlie is the long-lost son of Nick Cotton, but has more in common with Bruce Wayne than the Joker… First Appearance 11th March 2014 Address Off The Square Occupation Policeman? Mysterious Charlie has no trouble attracting attention from the ladies, but doesn’t often return their affections. Spending his childhood in a broken home has given him a commitment complex and instead of letting people get close, Charlie pushes other people away. Life should be quite straight forward for a good man like Charlie, but when a face from his past threatens everything he holds dear, will he be able to keep his slate clean? Played by Declan Bennett. YVONNE COTTON Yvonne Cotton is a cold, buttoned-up, forthright woman who has an unhealthy obsession with her son, Charlie. First Appearance 12th May 2014 Address Off The Square Occupation Unknown Getting knocked up by Nick Cotton while still very young, and her subsequent abandonment by him, has left Yvonne bitter with the hand she’s been dealt… and she’s not above taking that bitterness out on others. A strong and upstanding Catholic, Yvonne is known on occasion to use her faith to mask her own shrewdly observed judgements of others. Since Nick left Yvonne’s whole world has centered around Charlie - and their relationship has become unhealthy, insular and controlling. Yvonne’s greatest fear in life is losing her son… so God help anyone who tries to take him away from her... Played by Pauline McLynn. Yvonne has only appeared in one episode before tonight but she made more of an impression in said episode than some characters have made in their entire stay on the Square. WHO IS CHARLIE COTTON? What we know so far…. Charlie has had to do the wrong things for the right reasons. He’s faked his father’s death for a reason still unknown. We know Nick is alive and well as does Carol Jackson. Charlie’s never short of cash even paying off Bianca’s debt but we know he’s not a police officer so what exactly is his profession? Unbeknownst to him, Ice Queen Ronnie is carrying his sprog. Yes Ronnie is carrying the grandchild of Nick Cotton and great-grandchild of Dot. That’s sure to put the cat among the pigeons with only Phil knowing she’s up the duff. DTC has promised ‘the Nick story to end all Nick stories’, could this be the final chapter in the story of Walford’s original villain? The 30th anniversary is fast approaching and Nick is sure to play a part in that, will he still be alive when the duff duffs roll on 19th February 2015? I’m not so sure… VOTING IN THE DS AWARDS IS NOW OPEN. TO VOTE, POST IN THE DEDICATED THREAD OR DROP ME A PM. 1. SOAP OF THE YEAR (2013: Emmerdale) Coronation Street EastEnders Emmerdale Hollyoaks 2.

Brilliant and informative thread as per usual dullagj2.
I'm glad the Charlie Cotton storyline has stepped up a gear and it will be great to see the return of the Pauline McLynn as Yvonne. I just wish she was on a full time contract though. Unfortunately I have absolutely no interest in Whitney and Lee's "will they or won't they" romance. |

Cheers for the thread dj
![]() A Daran Little episode is always decent. Charlie's been a breath of fresh air and I really am looking forward to seeing the Ronnie/Charlie dynamic more especially with his mother and Nick in the mix, probably her most interesting relationship to date. |

Love the thread buddy and I can't wait for tonight's episode of Eastenders. Charlie is a bit of an enigma since we know little about him and the little that we do know (like him being a police officer) isnt' even true. Really looking forward to tonight's episode, going to be a good one!

Himself and Anthony are returning to Albert Square : ![]() They can only return if they take Gus, Mrs. Patel, Kareena, Sasha Perkins, Joey, Shirley Benson, Callum Monks, Brenda Boyle, Preeti and Li Chong with them. They all subsequently die in the Slater fire.... Quote:

All times are GMT. The time now is 20:45.



Lauren and Dean's date soon goes wrong when he turns Lola down for a blow job at Blades, causing Lauren to walk out and leaving Dean humiliated and hopefully fully clothed. I’ve seen more of his chest than I have of my own this past year. 
& Sharon introduces herself to Janine like they've never met before...(first proper week of NewmanEnders)

Questions 2 & 3 let me down.
