Welcome to the EASTENDERS EPISODE THREAD for the 17th August 2015


Broadcast 8pm BBC1 & 10pm BBC3

Kathy meets up with Phil at The Arches


Sharon wants Abi to visit Max and convince him to plead guilty, but Abi admits that she can't face her father after betraying him. Sharon suggests that Abi should write him a letter instead, which she will pass on when she visits Max with Phil. At the jail, Sharon reads out Abi's letter and asks Max to plead guilty for the sake of his family. However, there's a surprise in store when Max insists he is innocent and introduces his new brief.

Back on the Square later, Phil receives a worrying call and heads to The Arches. He finds Kathy there and she is desperate for his help.



Meanwhile, with her family in pieces, Jane pushes forward with her plan - but the rest of the Beales have other ideas in mind.

Elsewhere, Paul is pleased to see Les in a better mood, but he later has bad news to break when he tells Les that Pam isn't coming home. Les turns to Claudette for support and she encourages him to come clean, but they are interrupted by the return of Pam.

Also today, is Roxy having doubts about Dean?

Nice seeing Abi and Sharon bond. I regard Abi as a younger more psychotic version of Sharon.

I know what you mean. Funny how Shazza never mentions Tanya anymore!

It was an odd friendship, it didn't quite work.

As soon as Sharon came back from her break, Tanya was gone and Shaz didn't ask where her supposed best mate was gone, and they didnt even share a scene at Jane and Ian's wedding!

Obviously shows what Queen Shazz thinks of her

If anything, I think Sharon and Denise could have worked except the producers were so desperate for the Brannings to be linked with an EE icon and instead, Denise and Sharon were at loggerheads. At least they seem to get on a bit better these days in their few scenes.

Must say I have been surprised at how much I enjoyed the recent Sharon/Carol scenes, they didnt have much to do with each other in the 90's but they worked quite well I thought

I really like Abi and Sharon too but dont think will last

Denise is segregated from The Real Housewives of Walford, which I think is a shame.

I do think she needs to be integrated more, her only real friend on the square is Masood and he's gonna be busy soon. Denise is one of those characters who should be at the center of storylines, rather than act as Robin to Kim's Batman

I can see Denise going up against Mother Hubbard eventually. She has got Libby's secret goin on, although who knows when they will resume it.

Saw the preview clip...I love Sharon's reference to the 20th anniversary episode where she confronted Den just as she left. What an amazing episode that was!

The Witches of Walford, how I miss them

The thing with Claudette though will ultimately still be part of Kim's story and I don't see Libby's secret being revisited in a while. I think they need to go back to Denise's alcoholism- or has she done a Philth and just gotten over her addiction?

I was annoyed in the 30th episode how Sharon hadn't mentioned Den had died 10 years before, although Bradley got a mention

If only Jo had coughed in the live and "Sharon! I meant How's Sharon?!"

Can't believe it's already been about 6 months since we realised Kathy was still alive!
Unfortunately she isn't in the cast lists for next week.

Thanks for the thread!

From the amount of alcohol Denise said they "needed" at Libby's party, it seems as though there's still a slight issue.
...Though I am teetotal, so I wouldn't know if it was too much!

The Denise abusing Patrick side story didn't really go anywhere or get dealt with properly either, I thought.

I know, I still remember what an absolute shock the scene was! And messaging my mum, "It's Kathy!" To which she replied, "killed Lucy?!" Sigh. (Despite living in England for over 30 years and watching EE, CS and ED all that time, my mum's English skills and following of what's happening isn't great...)

I did pick up on the alcohol line but was unsure as to whether was related to her story or otherwise, its a shame block storytelling is so prelavent as I cant be sure as to whether stories are being continued or not!

Im quite disappointed that this hasnt continued and wondered if was just a red herring fir the murder, to show us what Denise is capable of. At the time Patrick's abuse was highlighted, I had a very similar issue occurring within my own family so I was very interested in following the story as I could relate to it. i feel it a shame that it was dropped
