Tell her Paul.

No, i like the Les, Pam and Paul plot. It rolls along nicely

We could be stuck with another Shirley plot...

Really good episode & only just realised it was written by Daran Little. No quiet summer for EE this year!

You deserved that slap (and more), Abi. I have no sympathy for you cow.

No one except family could love what you've become in the last two years [hell Max should've washed his hands of you ages ago].

Carol's 'You really are a complete and utter bastard, aren't you?' line to Max was though.

Still think Pam's always known about Les and Claudette, tbh. She's always been more emotionally unhinged around them to me.

Oh. And I totally thought Ben was gonna try it on with Jay again there - not just me?!

Post of the day for me

Fantastic episode tonight. EastEnders is on top form at the moment.

I really liked that episode, luved the Abi/Stacey fight bitch Abi is good, glad they have gone down this route with her, I just can't wait till she finds out about Ben and Paul

Jay crying I really hope Jamie isn't leaving.

Pam is just sooo lovely, she reminds me of this old lady I know.

Oh and Carol's Bastard.

Loved carols last line and all tbe abi related scenes. Lolas exit aftermath is hust as appauling and disgraceful as her exit story and makes no sense still.

This episode i finally now know my opinion on Claudette. She a vile
Woman who i will love to hate.

6/10 Episode
0/10 MyCindy
0/10 MyLauren

Am I alone in just not giving a damn about the wrinklies affair, or Paul's perverse obsession with old people sex and bad hair? Episode saved by the Happy Carol, Max, Darth Abi, Hot Murderous Stacey, Jay and Ben stuff.

I think slimy Paul is the only one in his family cheating...can't wait for Abi to find out he's been screwing her boyfriend.

Max has really put his foot in it now. Still pscho Abi knows that she battered Lucy.

Nice to see Mick, Fats and Donna.

Decent episode.

Good episode tonight.

Abi and Stacey's bitch-fight was the best bit - Abi has been a right cow. She's basically a Mitchell-lite now, and shafting her own father for something he didn't do is not on. Stacey really told it straight. The scenes with Martin, she loves him but he's the "reserve" for what she wants which is Kush. I can understand where Martin is coming from re: his insecurities of her seeing an ex.

The Mitchells really are imploding - Ben and Jay really don't like Philth. I would love to see Jay's reaction when he finds out Billy ratted him out. Some family they are. Onto the Brannings, I LOVED Carol's reaction when she said you bastard She's trying to hold the unit together but with father and daughter at war, she's in the middle. We got to see Rebecca, see she does exist!

As for the Cokers, well I would LOVE to see Pam's reaction to Les. Paul only wants the best for his Nan, as she looked after him. You can see the genunity between the two of them, and the actors do work well together. Pam doesn't deserve this.

I bought that as well. Wouldn't be he first time bens tried it on though.

Now Jay has to stay why doesn't Lola just come back if she loves him so much? I doubt she has a job or childcare sorted in one day

How do they manage it when someone is in prison? They just seem to turn up to visit! Carol was visiting Max straight after talking to Abbie, same was always happening with Dot and others, can you just knock on the door and walk in?

Yeah, I know. That' why I was expecting it this time [cos Ben gets really clingy when all emotional as he was]. Unlike before, which was a 'WTF' moment that was quickly brought up once afterward for Abi to LOL off.


But does Denny still exist? It's almost as though a head replacement might be in the wings...

He and Psycho Bobby are gonna be BFFs for sure.

Bush push part 2 and Carol calling Max a Bastard Great stuff!

Are we heading for a Jay and Ben affair. They weren't exactly brotherly in the Arches scene??

Ben actually tried kissing Jay once before. Told Abi about it to her face and she LOLed it off [as most would do really].

Jay quickly forgive it though. Why is anyone's guess...

Nothing to forgive on Jay's part

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Ronnie actually said that last year when she killed Carl.

"Bashes Carl*

Ronnie: BASTAAAAARD!!

I know but they'very been having moments like that since Ben came back. It's almost like Jay protested too much. So more interesting than Ben and Jonny/Paul especially with the Abi angle.

I thought she screamed 'HAPPY NEW YEAR!!'?

Do excuse me, that was when she clonked him over the head with a bottle of champagne.

Stranger things have happened .

Pleaseeeee say we'll find out what this secret between Claudette and Les is tomorrow...I assumed that was the reason for the centenary!

Really enjoyed that tonight, and unlike most on here really like the Cokers, I think Les and Pam are hilarious. Good to see Donna again. For me the episode belonged to Jamie Borthwick he was brilliant tonight, particularly in his first and then his last scene. I really hope the tag means he's not going anywhere, and DTC is actually going to use him as he should be. 9/10 for me tonight keep it up EE.

The Jay/Ben scene felt a bit gay (especially when Jay lifted his tshirt up), brilliantly acted by Jamie Bortwick though. Finally EE remembering they have one of the best actors in their ranks, start using him!!
