It's what Eastenders was like in its heyday. Hope there's more episodes like it.

After the last two weeks being GOLD with the Lucy suspect fall out, it was nice to have a bit of normality tonight and it worked with the inter-twining storylines.

The Masoods and Kush disappear again, next week.

Story blocking is so annoying.

Probably story blocking is done as the actors are paid per episode they appear in, so having less cast in an episode makes production cheaper.

It can be definitely when characters just dissappear.

These. EE works well when it's a truly ensemble show, obviously some episodes can have more of a focus on a certain family or area of the square, but intertwining storylines and differing characters makes for great viewing. DTC and Alex Lamb's story production is really poor.

I like episodes like this, I tend to fast forward alot of episodes that feature a minor cast, I don't even watch those god awful night episodes with 3 or 4 cast members.

I like when it's a busy episode with lots of cast members.
