Billy Talking about Honey and Bee's
The Rubbish with the Cat in the park.
Kim and the Shoe accident in the vic.

I am sorry but EastEnders is not a Comedy and it simply doesn't fit the show at all.

No it isn't, but I liked it, the one-liners were funny, and drunk Kim trying to be all sexy and her heel breaking. It made me smile.

It was a pretty poor episode.

Billy, Kim and Roxy are all dreadful and the axe should come down on them- none of them have had any development and Kim particularly is overexposed at the moment.

Decent characters like Babe and Denise were simply a sideshow tonight- what is wrong with DTC?

That scene was hilarious. It was one scene Dan. Get over it

I enjoyed the stuff with Craig in the tree and Kim falling over. On the contrary I hated the Dean/Ronnie scenes

It wasn't at all funny let alone hilarious. The Carters saved this episode I thought.

Only Kim was funny tonight but I didn't mind as long as they don't always use comedy plots.

What did you think of the scenes with Ronnie, Roxy and Dean, Dan?

Very poor. Matt simply can't act.

If it was all the time then I would have issue with it, EastEnders is generally better at sarcasm and one linfers than farces. But the cat story was actually a lot better than what I was expecting and was more enjoyable than the serious plot tonight.

Dans turning into Victor Meldrew in his old age.

I thought it was hilarious, Carmel, Mick and Shirley trying to get Craig then comment about Tina not liking men and then Kim falling .. I might watch it again for another laugh.

Maybe follow my lead! Dive into a few DVD boxsets and go on a hiatus of whatever duration away from EastEnders -If your love Eastenders ain't giving you what you want punish it and take your love elsewhere! 😘

So much choice nowadays you can afford to switch your affection elsewhere for a bit!

I don't know any other soap that can't do comedy, but EastEnders REALLY can't do comedy. Coupled with the 'we're Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell' self-aware load of old tosh, and EE has become a completey parody.

I don't think the show offering a humorous episode equates to the show becoming a comedy. I really enjoyed the scenes with Mick and Shirley, Carmel and Craig. Kim made me laugh too.

Mick, Shirley, Carmel and Craig was hilarious. Linda Henry has good comic timing, it's one of the reasons Shirley is so popular. I hope we see more of Shirl's lighter side.

The humour reminded me of Coronation Street.

I loved Shirley having to almost sing "Craig Revel Hor-wooood" to get the cat out of the tree That was so un-Shirley!
Also laughed at Shirley mistaking Carmel's bad neck down to her doing someone called Vikram instead of Bikram Yoga
And no one does the screwed up/disgusted/puzzled faces like Shirley, lol!

(nice to have this Shirley back actually).


I could have done without Kim stuff but her prat fall did make me smile.
And I could definitely have lived without hearing Billy go on about Honey and Bees *roll eyes*

Yes, I thought it was ok as filler episodes go. Shirley, Mick and Kim made me smile even though they're not characters I normally tune in for.

Rubbish episode. Some of Shirley's one-liners were good zingers but the rest was cringe. Honestly, aren't these writers ever embarrassed?
