Couldn't believe what I was watching tonight. Allegedly Kathy's big return.

The airport scene was just atrocious-apart from the hackneyed set up the acting was just tERRIBLE esp from Paul Nicholas ( he looked like some random picked up off the street not a professional actor) Samantha Womack wasn't great either, frankly she looks kinda bored nowadays.

I'm not a big fan of Steve McFaden but he certainly made all the effort in tonight's scenes.

Back on the square the ladies were much better-esp Jane who has been fantastic all this week & certainly trumps any of this "Kathy come home" crap we've had to put up with.

By the sounds of it you wasn't watching eastenders coz the acting was fine.

Quite possibly the worst written episode of Eastenders I've ever seen. Actors could only do so much with such a poor script.

I thought the acting was fine. It's only a TV show. Idc if it's a bit unrealistic, as long as I enjoy it. It's not exactly Hollyoaks levels.

Really? The worst ever. Worse than the Tyler/Anthony/ joey years

Steve and Sam were fine, I don't think Leticia did anything wrong, but Gillian and the Gavin actor really weren't great.

I couldn't believe when I went on the main Ep thread And people were saying how good it was. It was cliched & horribly acted esp by Paul Nicholas. As I said, Steve McFaden saved the day for me. Gillian was alright & I have no idea what Ronnie was doing there.

I don't know about anyone else but I was a tad disappointed that SuperPhil didn't jump on the plane as it was taking off a la Tom Cruise.

Ronnie was meant to be bored. That's the storyline!!

I acting was decent tonight. I don't watch EE to see actors pick up Oscars.

I dunno about Easterners but I thought EastEnders was great tonight!

Kathy faked her death because her kids were in danger. Good reason.

The writing was good too. Rob Gittins has been writing EastEnders since 1986 he knows the show through and through.

Had no problem with the acting either.

MORE KATHY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, I thought tonight was spot on in the writing and the acting was fine.

Seconded Dan.

Brilliant episode tonight. So many nods to the past: Dennis, Billy, Angie, Archie, etc

Michael was a diamond in a sea of shit. In hindsight I'm sorry I gave up watching for a while because it meant missing a lot of him.

They weren't watching EastEnders, they were watching some programme called Easterners.

Apart from the scene when Phil grabbed Gavin's arm in the park and Gavin's facial reactions were completely over the top I actually thought Paul Nicholas' acting was pretty good. I could understand Kathy being scared of Gavin.

Tonight's episode wasn't fantastic by any means but I thought it was perfectly fine and so was the acting

Bravo! Especially when that opinion appears to be the popular opinion.

It was ok. I didn't really get what was going on. Why were they in the plane? My parents kept talking the whole way through which really didn't help. I was slightly disappointed because this was supposed to be a key episode of Kathy's return and it wasn't so great.

The fact they were quite easy on the eye made it slightly just slightly watchable.
