I only liked the Denise stuff and I liked the Stacey/Kush scenes. I will grit my teeth and admit that I liked the opening scenes with Courtney and Louise. Apart from that, I AM SO BORED OF THE MITCHELLS.


I really don't know where they are going with Denise's pregnancy.

Vincent thinks it's Kush.
He thinks it's Kush.
Vincent probably thinks it's Kush's. He found out about their thing a few weeks back.
Yes that was it!!!

Haha I just impressed myself by remembering something so minor from months ago
Thanks for the responses guys
I totally forgot Kush knew about Denise and Kush's fling
Cheers again

He just knows that Denise and Kush like each other. He doesn't know that anything physical has definitely happened between them.

I think that might happen too But surely they wouldn't be that cruel to poor Ben?! First he loses the love of his life to the thugs and then potentially his best friend!
Personally I'd rather Jay just get put in hospital and Phil is there when he wakes up. Another death so soon after Paul would be utterly depressing even for EE.

Wow. What scumbags those homophobes were! Probably voted Brexit too.

Aww, damn. One last chance for one private goodbye, Pam and Les

Hey Kush. Umm. At least it's not a second secret baby, eh...?

Just never get on Claudette's bad side Patrick!

'Saving my sons' Oh. Phil, but I thought Jay meant nothing to you...

Kush, you [really] don't want to find out the baby daddy.

Good on ya Kim for getting that secret out fast. Now, her face when she finds out about Phil!!

Guess Grant has gonna go save the day alone.

Making 100% sure that Phil doesn't find out anything is an impossibility in Walford, Denise. Leave whilst you can [and aren't showing].

I assume he meant "save my SON'S skin" (singular)

I love Mitchells and good, solid, character driven drama. And I hate EastEnders unoriginal and dull baby plots. So you can pretty much guess what I thought about this.

The Mitchell stuff (of all the ten sodding minutes there were of it) was a hoot. Grant finally meeting his Next Catalogue model son, rushing to the rescue of his daughter. Phil in agony on the floor, begging his brother to do what he clearly can't. Jack getting to meet Grant finally, "not just one nutter but two!"

And Aunt Sal is always a pleasure to see.

But, I mean... those thugs who apparently beat Paul to death in a drunken rage. Really? Come on. They are, and I don't want to be mean here, but they are... pathetic! When I picture a group of lads capable of beating a young, gay man to death just for the sake of it, I picture a bunch of thugs with skin heads. Might be stereotypical, but I do. Angry, drug ridden, dangerous criminals who just want to hurt someone and don't care who they hurt. What I don't picture is a posh pretty boy and his dumb loser dim wits. Ben and Jay should have been able to destroy them, and Grant will have absolutely no trouble.

And I'm getting a bad Lorraine Newman vibe from this. Because I have a horrible feeling that they've only cast said posh pretty boy because he's pretty. I thought we'd moved on from this crap, guys.

Ah well. Let's move on to the joy that is Denise pregnancy.

This is everything I hate about baby plots. A Who's the Daddy. A worried mum, thinking she has the right not to tell the father because reasons. DTC's last little baby, given to a character and actress who deserves far better. And do the math, because this could very easily be a Christmas baby. Oh, the joy.

I don't care. I'm sick of baby plots. It's gotten to the point where it's actually seriously affecting any enjoyment I get out of this show, which, to be fair, has been an issue for a while. I'm sick of them. It's lazy, it's dull... they can do better, but they simply don't want to.

Ah well. Dot's going to a gay wedding by the look of it.

No new heads then

I didnt knpw Olive from On the Buses was in this?
Are you a recent viewer ?

I don't think Mark has grasped being a Mitchell - be better off as a Fowler.
He doesn't know he is a Mitchell

Just call the f**king police

"A Mitchell has been snatched" oh Jesus Christ, I can tell that this week is going to be full of repetitive vigilante stuff.
I don't believe that Jack, who left the Police many years ago, could get the information so easily

What is Kush banging on about the sprog is not his, move on.
If he wants a kid he should consider having a serious relationship.

Did Phil baseball bat himself.
Philth was neither use nor ornament

I hope those thugs get killed.
Harsh


I do feel for Kush - again another chance of being a Dad scuppered -
I don't. He's a promiscuous git who should consider contraceptives.

At the end of the episode, we were left with the four "thugs" staring blankly into the van, looking at Ben & Jay, for about 6 hours, while everybody else was conveniently attending to Phil's collapse in Albert Square.

The main rule of cliff-hangers is that:
(a) if something bad happens, they show it at the end of the episode;
(b) if nothing bad happens, they make it look as if something bad is going to happen, but they have the cliff-hanger first and let the viewers wait until the next episode.

Unless Grant, Mark, Sharon, Ronnie or Roxy have a TARDIS, there won't be enough time for them to arrive in time to rescue Ben & Jay. therefore there must be some other factor, which we don't yet know about, which will intervene to rescue Ben & Jay from the imminent danger.

I reckon one of the girls might have had the sense to phone the police and give them the registration number of the van, while they were still hiding in the cupboard. The police will miraculously appear and shoot the thugs with a taser or something. Or perhaps a random local person will sneak up behind them and tickle them with a feather.

If there is a shock death I hope they aren't so short sighted to kill off Mark. His death would serve little purpose what so ever as Ross Kemp isn't sticking around so any fall out wouldn't be felt and with Michelle not on screen there is no need to go there. I fear this is the type of thing Alex Lamb will do though.....

That episode was like the Ronnie ******* Pickering spoof of Taken.

As for the villains Mr Humphries would have kicked their arses (possibly with the help of Mrs Slocombe's pussy).

This Mitchell crap is hilarious but rather entertaining in a camp sort of way.

Its only going to get worse to. Jay and Ben are so unconvincing as hard man yet the show seems intent on pushing them as the new Mitchell bruvs.

Not seen you around before Betty welcome to the forum.

Yes I am afraid you are right - because Jay and Ben have the surname 'Mitchell' TPTB will shortly try to make us believe that they are indestructible hardmen.

Re Louise and Courtney hiding? Why didn't they try to jump out the window? Of course that would be depending on how high it was from the ground but you'd imagine if they had the time it'd be a safer bet than the wardrobe
And what would they do when the other 2 outside caught them climbing out the window?
