I wonder who will run this for Phil when Charlie leaves. Maybe Vincent will end up getting his hands on it?

Anyone find Vincent boring?

Cannot say I am a huge fan, but I was expecting Richard Blackwoods acting to be over the top and I have to say that's not been the case.

No, I find him very sexy.

Phil will hand it to Ben or Jay, he is trying to get into their good books.

It's a shame they axed Charlie as he could have come into his own in Max's absence. It would have also been good to have a Cotton involved in the Mitchell/Hubbard/Sullivan gangster era that is nigh. He could have cut his ties with Ronnie and Roxy and moved back in with Dot.

I hadn't actually thought what will happen the car lot. Phil will have to employ someone. Hopefully not Vincent. What about Buster?

Busters into Fish not cars. Which is why he is sleeping with Shirley I suppose.

If Buster gets embroiled in Vincent's shenanigans he could end up dragging Mick and Dean into it too.

This is a job for Denise Van Outen!

But her acting she is hot, so I will let the acting go.

Crikey could you imagine if she was to return? This place would go into meltdown

She was erm memorable...

Billy

It is a shame that Charlie won't be involved in the new gangster era, as he had so much potential when he arrived on the square as a fake copper and after all he is Nick Cotton's son so he will never be whiter than white.

I don't know who will take over the running of the Car Lot actually, probably Ben and/or Jay, i wonder if they will drag Buster into the upcoming gangster era, as he witnesses Phil attacking Vincent at the Albert apparently and he has a dodgy past. I get the impression Buster doesn't like Phil from a few things he has mentioned, although there is nothing concrete on that score and he did nick his wallet when he was introduced last year, making it look like a feud between the two could happen when he returned but nothing has happened as of yet which is surprising. I would like Phil and Buster to have a bit of a feud, he could be on Vincent's side and we could see what Buster is made of. Would love to see a Phil and Buster fight at some point and for Buster to be someone who Phil doesn't take seriously originally but ends up causing him problems.

Very. What a shame... Let's hope Gavin delivers more!

Nope. I think he's interesting and he's also hot as hell. I think he will become more interesting if he wins against Phil and there are one or two gangster characters brought in briefly to do jobs for him now and again. For some strange reason DTC starts stories that look like they will be great then they turn out to be damp squibs. I hope that doesn't happen with Vincent and his feud with Phil. If Phil wins in the fight about the Albert name being changed to Pearls it will be so predictable and boring. Charlie's storylines where he came in as a fake copper didn't really go anywhere, Stacey's key was a non story and the Phil and Vincent story has the potential to be a let down if something doesn't change. DTC came in so well now I'm quite disappointed with him. All the effort from TPTB went into the Who Killed Lucy storyline and too many other things have been crap and half baked. The rape storyline was awful in the end with far too much focus on Dean, Shirley and Buster. Yes it's different that there was some focus on the rapist and his supporters but there was far too much of this. After a while the character of Linda had no focus on her at all.
I do love Vincent as he has different sides to his personality and I hope he gets better storylines than losing to Philip Mitchell!

I was really looking forward to Vincent but I have too admit I am a little disappointed, his introduction has been far too slow, I like his character he's intriguing and hot I just hope that this is us finally going to see what Vincent is really like.

I like the idea of Buster in the car lot he needs something to do. Does David still own the car lot or is it all Phils now

I would love for Vincent to get his hands on it. I'd love for a sl where Phil can't afford to pay Ritchie (for one of any reasons) and ends up giving in and selling the car lot to Vincent. This gives Vincent more roots put down in Albert Square. I wonder what's happened to his other bar? Remember he said to Ronnie that she "walked into my bar like no one else was worthy"? Does he have other businesses? This bar he spoke of to Ronnie hasn't been mentioned since. I would love for Phil to lose everything eventually including the garage and his family. He should end up a skint, lonely and bitter old man.

I would love maybe for Denise (Fox, not Van Outen) to run the car lot. What is she even doing now?

I think the car lot belongs to Phil unless I missed something. Yes Buster working in the car lot could be good for Buster's character.

I think she's Pearl's Nanny, Vincent and Kim are paying her.

Jay?. Vincent. Fatboy .

I am not looking forward to the new era of the Firm.

Because since TPTB made the Philth a cross between King Kong, Godzilla and the Terminator in the late '90's all of the hardmen and gangsters who enter Walford are totally destroyed as soon as they come into contact with him.

I expect that Gavin will be no different.

He will be 'owned' soon enough.

Yawn.

It's a real shame that Patrick was given the stroke storyline even though the acting has been superb as I would have loved for Phil to be given that storyline. I agree with you that Phil is ridiculous. I've said it before but I still would love for Phil to be given a serious illness made worse by his heart condition. Imagine Phil in a wheelchair? He could be forced to sell the garage and car lot to survive leaving him with nothing and if he has to pay off debts he could have to go on sickness benefit. Imagine Phil on Disability Living Allowance? Would Sharon leave him or become his carer? Would she sell her half of the Albert to Vincent? There could be good storylines if Phil ends up on his knees through a debilitating illness.

I agree that those could be very interesting storylines.

But TPTB are so obsessed with his total invincibility that he even grew a new heart like a bloody Time Lord and his serious cardiac condition has not even been mentioned for years.

Atm yes, RB acting has impressed me he far better then I anticipated but his a very undeveloped and underwhelming character, we've just not seen enough of him to grasp who Vincent is he just another two bit wannabe who Phil is gonna get he filthy mitts on to use a punching bag to show he top dog or are we gonna see a proper villain, I guess he main story was suppose to be with Ronnie but she been off the radar for months.


People god do not subject us to that bad acting again
