This storyline started well but I can't imagine how this is helping rape victims - it just shows that people feel like they can abuse them if they want.

I wonder whether Ian's line about nothing happening with Dean and Linda was put there to make viewers think that he can stay because a lot of people will believe Dean?

This was a perfect mix. The carters weren't dominating and the scenes with Dot /Cora and babe/Cora , max, Carol and Abi were great. They should do this more often.

Good episode.

Loved Dot and Cora.

is anyone going to turn up for Jim's funeral.

Shame that the Shirley stank out that episode.

That was great. It had a real timeless feel to it.

Dot and Cora was obviously the highlight.

Babe is actually terrifying. 😦

I think it looks very glamorous and chic. So Sharon

Ian would never think Linda was lying about being raped. Never.

I really liked tonight's episode, especially the Dot/Cora scene, was some funny one-liners in there. I really like Cora, so I hope Ann isn't leaving for good.

I really do hate Dean and his smug face.

Abi was great tonight as well.

Has Fattyboy been to see Dot in prison at all?

Good episode. Nice mix of characters tonight.

Loved the Cora/Dot scene and the Carol/Shirley scene.

Clocked Sharon's hair when she went in the Vic....

Babe....oh Babe!

Shirley seeing Max and Phil will lead on to something, I think.

That scene was proper EastEnders
Ann Mitchell and June Brown acted their socks off tonight. Great script from the two of them. ''Save you're breath to cool down you're Porridge ''
''Here comes Walford's Answer to Rose West'' Brilliant comic timing from both.

Lorna was Brilliant tonight too. Great little scene that.

Phil

Aunt Babe

9/10 for all the Branning stuff (and the rest)
7/10 with added Carters

Agreed

I did feel a pang at Cora being omitted but that soon passed. 😃

FIRST ROUND OF VOTING CLOSES TOMORROW AT NOON.......Yes I was meant to shout

Come on EastEnders.

I really don't like Cora (as a person, not a character) and would normally say she deserves what she gets but this is really harsh. She does have a right to be in the funeral car. If they couldn't afford a second one, then sorry but Babe shouldn't be in it.

Cora still manages to be unlikeable though - badmouthing Dot. Their grandchildren (which is Abi) ;prefer' Dot because of the way she has been with them for nearly 10 years. Also, it is about Jim. Abi loved her Grandad, stan was nothing to her.

I forgot I had voted and I got we already have this email address. 😶

Really should've been an hour-long episode. I hate it when they do a whole week of episodes set in one day.

I love it when a week is set on a whole day tbh. Something EastEnders does very well.




I hope Adam has made it into the short list.

I will be sooooo f e c k i n g peed if he hasn't, and if he doesn't win!

I imagine he has.

Phil's line about coffins turning Sharon on was sick.

Shows the level of respect he has for her.

Good eppy and a nice balance of characters. Love Dot and Cora like two Godfathers in chokey!

Keyser probably exploded at that
