I hope SOC seriously considers making Mark and Courtney full time additions.

Have to agree with the majority as well, seems a silly decision to write out Pam and Les. They have grown so much as characters over the past 3 years.

I do remember him does he use a stick in real life these days

Gutted Mark is leaving. Is there any chance he might be brought back?

I have to say this is the best it's been for a while. I am glad Grant is accepting and showed his softer side to Ben, and the chat with Jane. The scenes with him and Phil were brilliant too - no matter what your child is, you need to be there for them. I am happy Phil decided to attend Paul's funeral and support Ben. Lol @ Grant when he flipped when Mark and Courtney were about to kiss and punching Ian I do hope Mark and Grant can bond. Shirtless Mark was a bonus, but he needs to be a bit bigger.

Lin Blakeley and Roger Sloman were immense tonight and deserve some recognition for their role as grieving grandparents. I found it so sad when Pam kissed Paul goodnight. So heart-breaking, and the scenes where the carriage was leaving the Square were beautiful and touching. Dona and Claudette are good allies to the Cokers and I always like their scenes with them. The casting of Pam's sister Min is spot on - they're so alike with their personalities I am so sad they are going.

Sylvie doing the splits was gold A 70 year old woman puts us to shame! I do agree she needs to go in a home, and take Tina and Sonia with them. Dot - I can understand her objections of a gay wedding as she's from a different generation, but I do hope we see a bit more of Colin (he was my MEP when I lived in the Midlands until 2009 and he's my party!) - kind of a put Dot's mind at peace sort of thing.

I know it's SOC's first week, but he's getting the hang of it. I just hope he makes his mark in a good way with proper character driven storylines, not one family dominating.

10/10

I hope Grant doesn't tell Mark tomorrow and Mark already has a dad in USA. Grant would ruin his life in future, in my opinion.

Lin Blakely was the standout star tonight and I'm saddened the Cokers are leaving soon.

7/10

You need to recognise your sexual attraction does not make him an actor

Roger Sloman doesn't receive enough praise, I held it together but it was the scene as he walked the car out that caught me off guard. Just how he tried so hard to hold his emotions together as he proceeded.

I'm going to be sorry to see both Pam and Les leave EE. Poor decision if you ask me.

Aaron I think he's a great character and Ross in my opinion is a very capable actor

It's not always about how sexy someone is although he is that aswell

Couldn't they've found a cap that fits for Billy?

Colin has MS. As far as I know Michael is fine.

I'm in camp sorcha

Not that I know of. I think Colin might be using it because of his MS. Could be wrong though.

Poor Pam and Les

Grant's punch was really good, got Ian good and proper

Why was Ben wearing a dress

Where's Jay?

I really want Mark and Courtney to stick around.

Sylvie done the splits.

Yay

Me too! I don't want Grant to leave. Him and Belinda would work so well together and I wish we could see Mark, Courtney and Grant getting to know each other. Looks like its all going to happen off screen

i thought it obvious i was :P

I remember him sort of, didn't he have a boyfriend called Tony?

I agree. It is a shame they are going. I really like Les and would like to see more of Christine. It would have been great to see Pam finally accepting Christine and some scenes of them together.

I agree - they should never been axed, and Paul should NOT have been killed. We need older characters on the Square and Roger and Lin have proven their worth on this show.

yeah and tony was alot younger than him

It was better than Pam's! Dreadful actress & so is Les.

I think it would've been better if they'd had Grant seeing Courtney & Mark about to kiss & then runs up them & says 'no don't do it, he's your brother!' Now that's how you do a duff duff!

👍😁😘 That ability would be great!

Barry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Russell_(EastEnders)

That was Tony and Simon. Colin's partner was called Barry.

Colin had a boyfriend called Barry. It was lovely to see Colin back again. I was only in my teens when he was in EE and I'm 44 now!

The scene with Pam visiting Paul was really sad. I'll be sad to see Pam and Les leave.
