wasn't that that Gemma person (the one who was Max's mistress) chatting to Garry?

Woah back up there!! Pauline gives HER permission for Sonia to see Rebecca as long everyone follows Pauline's groundrules. How generous of her.... considering it's nothing to do with her as Martin is her legal guardian, and it doesn't matter how you look at it Sonia will always be her real mother. Martin standing up to Pauline didn't last long or he would turn around and tell her this..... again.

Was it not an early evening party? If so, how come when Max dragged out his ex- it was very bright daylight?

Because it's the middle of summer, it's still daylight here where I live now.

It is here also, had a terrible storm though!

I feel sorry for Martin and Joe for that matter.

Tanya looked lovely tonight!.

What a pathetic episode!

I think I want Rachel to leave as much as Tanya does & that clinch with Max at the end was so predictable - not to mention boring. More and more cliches being chugged out by EE. The actress (Sukie Smith) is truly awful. :sleep: :yawn: :sleep:

Garry/Minty/SJ - sooooo boring! :yawn:

Pauline/Martin/Sonia - boring! :sleep:

All in all tonight's episode was bloody boring!

2 out of 10.

Have to say I'm really enjoying it at the moment. When I'm shouting at the TV its usually a good sign.

All of the new faces - to me they all just appeared as I have been away from it - are a great breath of fresh air, especially Max, wife (Tania??) and co.

However, *must* Max have a fling with Bradley's mother? And what's the deal with Pauline Fowler and visitation rights? So unrealistic.

<EDIT>
Goes without saying that Garry and Minty are Pointless.....

It was ok,I'm just bored of Minty.
Does he really think someone like SJ would fancy a middle aged bloke that is old enough to be her father?
Yes,he might be a sweet bloke,but he is being unrealistic.
He should just accept her friendship.

I actually think EE has been really good lately & that week with the Foxes, Kevin and Owen was outstanding. Tonight's episode was more like something from the 2004 era.

My personal problem is, apart from Dot & Jim, I haven't warmed to the Brannings at all and they're getting all the screentime lately. And Rachel is the worst of the bunch! After 2 episodes I already want her to leave. A truly pointless addition to the cast.

And I think all of us are bored of this never ending tug of love over Rebecca. It's been going for about 6 years now!

I don't think anything's going to happen between Max and Rachel, hence them cutting off before any kiss could occur. From what i've read Rachel tells Tanya and Bradley that something did happen, but I think this might be the one and only occasion that Max is innocent.

Completely agree about Pauline. She is so evil! I really can't see any reasoning behind it.

Well I have warmed to the Brannings I think they are a great addition to the cast.

I wasn't overly keen on the Foxes week...
As for Rebecca, well lets just hope it has the ending it would in real life!

I agree that the new faces are a positive influence but I hope EastEnders uses them well and doesn't all burn them out instantly. Max and Tanya should be a couple for a long time but I predict now that the actress who plays Tanya will want to go on to other things eventually. Max is a talented enough actor to do so as well.

I agree with Top Dog: Bradley's mum is played by a mediocre actress.

I am SO sick of these Garry On The Pull storylines. Just axe him and do us all a favour!

More SJ drama

Overall not a very exciting episode, but I've seen worse.

4/10

Funny, I was thinking the same during this evening's ep. She's fairly well known already so its unlikely she'll stick around when her contract is up. Wonder how long she signed up for?

It's a hat trick, I was thinking that as well

Why does everything in soap have to be so complicated. Is Rachel doing it to prove a point to Tanya

Pauline Gary Minty

But it was a Dean free episode.

She signed up for a year, and I think she wants to stay longer than that.

She's probably expecting loads of big storylines though. I have a feeling she'll end up as little more than "Max's wife" who never does anything but get upset over his latest affair

Decent show tonight. What was young Abby like getting her head stuck between the bars??

Hope Bradley's Mum is gonna go soon - I just can't really take to her, but Max and Tanya are great.

Looks like Pauline is finally coming round - about time too.

7.5 out of 10.
