If there was more love and less hate around the world would be a better place.

I don't have much family or friends but those I do take an interest in have big hearts and fill their lives with love and joy, that my friend is the secret to happiness.

I hope this gs improve for you in 2017.

Great thread. I'm looking forward to seeing how Ronnie/Roxy depart EE. I expect this will be a busy thread this evening.

Happy New Year EE fans.

What a great thread for a big episode.

I had no idea Lee Carter had the most appearances.

Epic thread DJ, Happy New Year

I agree everyone should check out Farmer Ben's WKUKK, it is a good read, although the way I am dipicted :-o Barmaid indeedy

I misd Dan 2008

Sad for the end of R&R, I hope they make it out alive... wonder what new year episodes will bring us in future with no R&R drama.

My hopes for the year is for eastenders to continue in its current path and to see some new un related characters.

Also, I hope for less Dead Kathy and for Sharon to stop with the gold digging now she realises exactly what Phil means to her.

I would also like Whitney & Sharon to get proper full time jobs, obvs not together because Sharon is almost as bad with kids as Mcbeale.

Here's to 2017 & Phil's road to recovery

I also did a celebration thread in respect of Eastenders and possibly soaps longest ongoing and seen on screen storyline which has so far bombed

Brilliant thread dj, as always.

Ronnie and Roxy, how I will miss them

two of soaps best characters ever.

Thanks for the thread DJ. I had decided one of my New Years resolutions was to contribute to the general discussion on episode threads, but I've decided to give my full attention to tonight's episode.
As much as their characters have descended into a bit of a farce, I will miss R&R, particularly MyRonnie who is probably the closest thing we will get to an iconic character from the last 10 years of EastEnders.
An interesting fact for all of you is that if Ronnie manages to get a duff duff before she leaves, she'll have hit 100 duff duffs.

Very welcome Leeah.

EastEnders new story producer has followed me on Twitter so I followed back. I wonder if she reads the forums? Her name is Liza Mellody and she worked on the show as script producer between 2003 and 2004. I think Sean was still working on the show at this stage, they both went on to Hollyoaks. Sean left for Family affairs where DTC was his story producer. Now Sean and Liza are reunited on EastEnders.

She also follows soap squawk and dtc! Interesting to see she follows line of duty, brilliant piece of drama.

Thanks for the first ep thread of the new year dullagj2. And thanks to Wallo Mr Slug for the quiz, I got 25/27!

I am so unbelievably excited for tonight's ep, but also dreading it at the same time. As Ronnie is one of my all-time favourite characters, I really, really, really, really, really don't want her to die. And Roxy as well, they don't deserve to leave in a coffin, IMHO.

I hope we'll remember this exit for months and years to come but for the right reasons.

And finally, happy new year everybody!

I'd quite like them to just ride off into the sunset, but I doubt either would do that without Amy and Matthew.

I'd quite like a shock - something no one has spoke about. Sean returning would be epic.
