NANA MOON: (It ahs been revealed that Nan will pass before christmas, NOT on christmas day)

After completing her penultimate wish on Christmas eve, the day draws in and Her and Alfie sit by the fire. Carol singers bellow out side and all is peaceful and sombre. Feeling tired, Nana Moon goes to bed at 6 ish. Laid in her bed, she is surronded by pictures of her loved ones.

Alfie pops in with a cup of tea and realising she is fading, he holds her hand. He stays with throughout the night. Lil Mo and Kat plus the other Moons gather thoughout the night, talking to Nana as she lays peacefully, all one with the world. The sun steadily rises and the Square, it is light yet icy cold and some stars are still visible, when Nana Moon goes into a deep sleep and passess away.


As for Dennsis, I imagine it will be a sudden storyline, he has no enemies who would kill as of yet, and I feel rather sad, this is a tragic death of a vulnerable guy who has had it hard, yet found love with Sharon. Poor Sharon

Nana's death sounds nice and would be a real tear-jerker - would you have Spencer and Danny return for it? I think it would be more realistic if they did.

As for Dennis, well I don't think I'll comment on how he dies (the fire at the vic, was it murder? etc.) At this rate, I going to be bored of the storyline before it even airs!!

the Anti-rickman society is growing more and more by the week in Walford. Johnny isn't best pleased with him for siding with the mitchells, Phil still harbours a grudge for assisting den in sending him down (and sleeping with his wife), and jake doesn't have much love for young rickman either.

as for deaths at christmas, i think it should be avoided. Its depressing to see any kind of trauma on Christmas day, just kills the festive mood altogether. I'll be avoiding the Nana death if I can. I remember seeing Dave Glover perish one christmas, i think it was new years eve and that just was awful. sure, makes you realise there are people who are suffering at christmas, i suppose in that respect fair play, but it's still upsetting when stuff like that happens.

To be honest, I found Trevor beating up Little Mo and pushing her face into her Christmas dinner more upsetting than Jamie dying the following year...

Totally agree there is an overdose of sad stories over Christmas. Can the writers not think of dramatic "feel good" story lines, much prefer those with my Christmas turkey.

Sadistic as it sounds, I'm looking forward to getting all emotional at Christmas, it really heartens me. I think Lil Mo 2001, Jamie dying and Tiffany's demise make classic Christmas EE, but if it was happy, we would have the Kat and Alfie wedding storyline, which was rather dire

EE has a reputation for having sad and dramatic storylines - they just get more depressing at the happiest time of year for some reason!

2000 - Phil sleeps with Mel and slaps Lisa. Jamie punches Martin when he discovers he's Chloe's father. Peggy smashes up the Vic. At New Year, Mark pushes Nick from scaffolding for giving drugs to Martin.
2001 - Kat rescues Zoe from evil pimp Roxy. Trevor beats up Little Mo. Sharon reveals Phil is Louise's father and leaves. At New Year, Little Mo whacks Trevor with an iron.
2002 - Jamie passes away after being knocked down by Martin. Ian throws Laura out for being pregnant with another mans baby (but she isn't really). Little Mo and Billy marry (a happy storyline!!). At New Year, Ricky and Nat start an affair.
2003 - Kat and Alfie marry but only after Alfie breaks Kat's heart by admitting he isn't divorced yet! Phil is on the run and is out for revenge on Den and Dennis. At New Years, Janine pushes Barry off a cliff and the teens crash their bus.
2004 - Sharon leaves when Zoe announces she's pregnant with Dennis's baby (but she isn't really). The Moons are chucked out of the Vic by Den. Andy has Paul killed. Sam loses her marriage and money.

And now 2005... you expect it to be happy?

Just found this by Jim Shelley who constantly has a go at EastEnders, But not too long ago he was sing it' praises:

Tis the season to be miserable
EASTENDERS, as is traditional, wiped the floor with the opposition at Christmas, proving it is still the most popular programme on television - and arguably the best.

Jamie, of course, has gone to the great David Beckham Lookalikes Rest Home in the sky.

One last lick on the face from Sonia and it was over. Sonia is probably pouring her blues into her trumpet playing as we speak (Miles Davis never knew such pain).

"Save me some cake!" Jamie had just told Robbie Jackson - as dying words go not exactly Oscar Wilde ("Either that wallpaper goes or I do"), but still...

"Sonia, I'm scared," he added (that's Jamie - not Oscar Wilde). But if you thought about married life with the untalented one from Hear'Say, you'd be scared.

Jamie's final scenes also included the observation: "It'll be getting dark soon" - so at least he got that right (very dark indeed).

Otherwise though, Jamie's death put an end to some of those corny East End homilies the inhabitants of Albert Square are so prone to.


"You can sort anything out as long as you stay together," Jim Branning suggested at Jamie's deathbed.


"Anything is possible," Jamie agreed, picking up the theme from numerous American movies. "If you really want it bad enough, you can make it happen."


Sonia joined in, contributing the view: "Me and you... We're gonna walk out of this place together." And she was right - except that Jamie will be in a long box with J written on the top.


Since Jamie's demise there has been much talk of Dot Cotton returning to look after Sonia - so presumably her mum, the formidable Carol Jackson emerging from her "safe house" is out of the question. Other Christmas storylines, not surprisingly, rang more hollow.


Zoe Slater and Anthony (the Human Malteser) Trueman as a couple was always hard to swallow - especially as the Good Doctor flatly refused to sleep with her - but Kat and Anthony isn't proving any more convincing the second time around.


As for the idea that there were three men who might have fathered Laura's baby, it was difficult enough to believe she could find ONE. (Her husband had a vasectomy for God's sake, and who can blame him?)


Poor Garry. He really is in a world of pain. Waking up every morning to find Laura's miserable face sitting at the Slaters' breakfast table - and her being pregnant with his baby doesn't help. "You kissed me, threw up and passed out," she reminded him of the happy event - the effect having sex with Laura would have on any man.


Garry inevitably protested."Forced you, did I?" Laura sneered. "Held you down and made you do it? Little me?" She wishes.


Garry wants to get rid of it, of course - not to mention the baby.


But as Laura says: "We don't always get what we want, do we?" Certainly not in EastEnders, no.


Ian, on the other hand, enjoyed his Christmas enormously - despite wandering around the square looking like a prisoner from Auschwitz. So did Auntie Pauline.


Even though Martin The One-Man Crimewave is facing jail for killing Jamie, as soon as Mark appeared, she trilled: "Perhaps this isn't going to be a bad Christmas after all!"


Yeah, terrific! Maybe she wants her youngest son to be banged up.


Faced with going inside, Martin is clearly suffering from dementia.


"They put Dad inside!" he wailed. "He was innocent and it killed him." Not quite what happened, given that Arthur was guilty. But still.


Zoe's tendency to rewrite history is almost as fanciful.


"I made one mistake!" she complained. "I know it was a big one - running out on the wedding like that."


Sadly last night it looked as if Zoe has gone all Zen and given Kat and Anthony her blessing which was certainly not her reaction when she caught them playing doctors and nurses in bed.


"Me and Anthony were going to get married!" she moaned. "And the first time I see you naked, you're screwing my muvver."


Zoe ran outside and was promptly sick. But then if she thinks he looks that bad naked, maybe it's a good thing she didn't marry him after all.

I think the saddest EE I saw during the christmas period was Arthur Fowler being locked up for a crime he didn't commit. both my sister and I were in bits when we saw that (partly to do with losing our own father the year before, and partly because we were watching the noel edmonds children of courage show the same day).

jamies death didn't bother me as I was far too sozzled and stuffed with 2 christmas dinners. (we did the rounds that year!)

If I was writing the endings of each death, and also saying who would be at the funeral. I'd begin with Nana. She is a popular character, and everyone has connected with her in some way. She hasn't got any enemies - so the whole square would come to the funeral. As for family, Spencer, Danny, Maxwell etc.. the whole family of Moons would come to the Nana's Funeral.

Now for Dennis, - assuming the death is him. I wouldnt make it a nice death, probably a brutal murder. Something so brutal that one can only assume it's Dennis. Leaving the door open for a Den style return in many years. Maybe when Grant and Sharon fall in love and marry - Dennis will turn up at the wedding in 2010 sometime. And most of the square would turn out for the funeral - including a heart to heart between Dot and Sharon where Dot reveals some secrets about Dennis's past.

I think we'll have a happy Xmas day episode - with Kat and Alfie leaving together. The misery attached with Xmas will happen the week before with Nana's death and funeral and then the following week with the death of the other character **cough cough** Dennis **cough cough**
