DTC said that the Lucy stuff will carry on immediately after live week. Yet he's done exactly the same thing as Santer.

- Stacey runs off to get away from the square for a while.
- Ian and Jane run off to get away from the square for a while.

I have always been positive about DTC but there's just so many broken promises that you can take from one person! Lucy hasn't been mentioned since Peter and Lauren left, and Ian and Jane will be returning on the same exact date that Stacey returned after being revealed to be the killer. What was the point in him lying? lol.

I think it's because we actually saw an aftermath. We haven't seen ambiguous scenes for weeks - the actors knew who the killer was when they were filmed (well, at least Adam, Laurie and Ben did).

Even though it was only for an episode, we did see some scenes afterwards.

But we saw scenes after the 25th, too, like Stacey acting weird then running away. DTC said that the storyline wouldn't have an abrupt ending, but it kind of did. He made it seem like the storyline would continue right off the bat but it didn't. Sending Ian and Jane on their honeymoon was quite cheap IMO.

Agreed,

But at least we've had some decent storylines occurring.

We've had all of Kat's troubles, including the beginning of the Kat/Harry storyline, the mystery surrounding Dean's disappearance, Peter/Lauren's exit, Kim dealing with her premature baby, Charlie being charged with assisting an offender, and very soon we will have Stan's death.

Whereas the first few weeks after the 25th Anniversary....NOTHING happened. It was mainly focused on Billy and the stolen post

This, I'd say this was the biggest problem with the 25th, it may not be continuous but considering Peter was leaving there wasn't much they could've done

I can't take this guy seriously. it like he using reverse psychology all the time when he mention stuff and all of these things has happen. He's a overrated producer imo.

That happened in 2010?

The way people are going on about it, I thought that was recent!

To be fair there was a change in producers around that time. Perhaps Santer had plans for it but Berkwood forgot about it.

Yeah it happened around February/March 2010, directly after the 25th Anniversary week

People still go on about it as it become infamous for being such a lame filler storyline Nobody ever found out it was Billy either

He is certainly getting a little bit off lately. EastEnders is starting to fall out of shape and doesn't flow as naturally as it did in 2014. Since October, we've had awful block storytelling.

It was still all Santers stuff though

DTC talks utter shit and does the exact opposite of what he says he will. At least that's become clear now so we'll know to expect it in future. I did believe him when he said things like the Lucy reveal will make sense, obviously I learned my lesson there.

Nonsense!

Ian and Jane went on honeymoon! The storyline is on a natural break but it's not over and hasn't been forgotten!

As for filler storylines I don't think we've seen an awful lot of those! And let's not forget, the Bobby reveal wasn't the only story going on during live week and we've seen them continuing over the last few weeks!

I think EE is doing fine!

He was right it wasnt. After the Stacey reveal all we saw was a scene with Stacey in her room hearing the sounds of the episode previous and then running away. The explaination/aftermath wasn't for 2 months afterwards whereas this year it was the next day. Also the week after it was the focus for the two episodes before Ian and Jane went away. I think it came to a natural conclusion for the time being and I feel satisfied with how's its left at the moment

he's a Liar

He hasn't lied.

There was no on screen mention of Stacey's confession for months afterwards. The episode after the live had Stacey acting like she hadn't confessed to murder and eventually running away.

The aftermath to this storyline saw direct mentions to what we had seen the episode previously without ambiguity as scenes were filmed during live week to slot in. Bobby was openly discussed as being responsible, Jane was discussed as being responsible and so on.

There was never going to be weeks of aftermath at this point because they had to keep so much under wraps beforehand.

They didn't go off straight after the reveal, the whole Peter side of thing had to be done and dusted because the actor was leaving. The Beales are only on their honeymoon, they're going to be back soon, so it isn't like Stacey who disappeared for months on end. A honeymoon often does happen after a wedding so it's not too 'out there' to accept this could happen!!! The SL was going to have to have some sort of break at some point, so that seemed as good enough a time as any.

We had three full aftermath episodes in which direct mentions of Bobby being the killer were made... which is very different to the Stacey reveal.

Because the Bobby doesn't know he's the killer and the Beales are choosing to keep it a secret - it works well with the lack of references post-reveal.

It's all doing just fine. We just need to get past this little lull, that's all.

Like some people on here, we did see an afternath in the live episode but they had to cover up who killed Lucy. I hate story blocktelling

Yeah there was stuff happening in the week afterwards remember. Plus as others have said, Ian and Jane are on honeymoon, whilst Peter left because he couldn't cope with what happenmed

We had a FULL live episode exploring the aftermath of the reveal, plus two episodes the week after before the honeymoon. It would have been strange if they didn't go on honeymoon after the wedding.

There was enough stuff that happened the week after that in my eyes at least makes it different to the aftermath of Stacey revealing she killed Archie, where she revealed it and then for the longest time there was absolutely nothing even referencing it. Plus as said above we had a whole episode of aftermath after Bobby was revealed as the killer to explain things which we didn't have back in 2010.

It's because ian and Jane are on honeymoon. It makes senses and also Peter and lauren have gone and cindy Isn't going to spill to anyone without ians permission
