That wasn't a special as such, they were actual epsiode of EE, they were just set in Ireland rather than the square, last nights, and the Ricky & Bianca ep last year are considered "specials" rather then actual epsiodes. Ideed, there are many differences between the specials and the main eps, one of them the use of the dreaded filmic effect, as well as the fact of all the flashbacks/background music that isn't there is the usual shows as well as the fact that the specials don't use an actual title sequence.

Yeah - Like why not look at the train station.....A tiny village in the middle of nowhere and no one thinks to ask at the station??? - Maybe ask someone who's been at the station...say like that warden who found her....It wouldn't tkae much in a tiny place like that to put two and two together would it....

My opinion on the show - Laughable - An attempt at a tear jerking tale ruined by everyone involved and a dreadful paper thin plot. Of course June Brown plays Dot well..she is Dot....June brown doesn't have to put any effort into it does she. Oooh-Errr!

I thought it was quite good, made a change from the normal EastEnders, which seems to be fast running out of storylines, like Corrie has done!

It was quite sad and depressing, but good acting by all
