Has anybody else noticed the R&R has not been shown since before Christmas 2013 the only thing I can think of is that they're having to scrap sets because of this new set being built and a temporary one being used

are the sets now the Albert?

It does seem weird. No doubt if a Carter bought the place it would be on screen every episode!!

The R&R has been forgotten about. It's probably fallen into the same hole as the Bookies, the doctors surgery and the Charity shop. Sets are reused and nobody bothers to remember how they used to go.

There is occasionally a bouncer still stood outside of the place so presumably its still open even though we haven't seen inside it for years. Phil owns the place outright now after buying Janine's shares from her at Christmas 2013. I think with the Vic and the Albert R&R isn't really needed anymore. The Albert still annoys me, its so small. The bar practically takes up the entire room i'm sure that's why we rarely ever see it because its too small to film in. They should have just gave Sharon the club to run again rather than the Albert.

I don't think we're going to see R and R again.

Wish they'd show it again they just need to make it better and get somebody who knows how to run it (Sharon, Ronnie, Roxy)

The R and R has fallen into a black hole. There are other sets that should be used more. The pharmacy could have a pharmacist as a new character working in there. Most people use a pharmacy for medicine, toiletries, make up and so on and on so there would be enough scenes of people in there. There could be such a middle class character in the pharmacy. Not everyone living in the East end is working class. I think EE missed a trick by not having Shabnam in the pharmacy.

I liked R&R but I loved it when it was E20 and Angie's Den. I'd love Sharon to take it back.

The Vic seemed to be about community, but the club always seemed to tell the darker, grittier stories for me (Saskia's murder, Johnny Allen's empire, Den's return).

The Albert doesn't feel like it works. I'd love it to be Angie's Den again,

I would love to see Kat back in 2016 running R&R without Alfie. Failing that I would be happy to see Sharon running it again.

Disappeared into a black hole it seems together with the boxing gym. Who is meant to be running the boxing gym now? Charlie was begging Max for a job at the car lot and Roxy is either at the hospital, at home or sometimes helping Sharon.
I wish they would think these things through. I don't particularly like the set but a reference should be made as to who is looking after the business whilst Ronnie can't.

It has vanished into the ether.

Bad continuity is a problem in EE.

I hope it gets turned into something else. It was a tiny wee room.

For two people who go on about being Queen's of Ibiza a lot they sure had a rubbish club, it was more like a bar with a dance floor. There was more seating than dance floor in fact.

The R & R should be replaced by a media/arts hub that actually reflects the modern East End.

The decision to downsize the R&R to make space for the pointless boxing gym was baffling. It was laughably small for a nightclub and, much like The Albert, only seemed to be open during the afternoon

Now that both R&R and the gym seemed to have disappeared, presumably there is now space for another larger set?

What happened to the gym? Thought Ronnie took ownership of that? The R & R club would have been a better fit for Vincent to take from the Mitchells rather than the Albert.
