A figure from Kevin's past lurks around the holiday home. Evie has a sobering revelation for Bert.

Discuss tonight's episode here.

I can't wait to see Shirley wicks. This year has gone so quickly, it's been about three months since we heard that Shirley Wicks was to come!

and there she is

It's Shirley!!!

And there she is, the elusive Mrs Wicks

Hurrah! Yvonne Atkins is alive & well and in Eastenders ..

I'm off out in 10 mins but am taping so will look forward to seeing what happens- hopefully tonight's episode won't be as mind-numbingly boring as Monday's and Tuesday's were!

Yay

welcome!

Getting interesting now

This has to be the worst week in ages. I just don't seem to care about these particular story lines. I have never liked Bert, so don't really care about his ex wife dying. Patrick lied to Denise and I can understand she is upset, but she is going to milk this forever and a day.

I want to go back to the Square and see what Jane and Ian are up to. I can't wait to get back to Pauline and her brain tumour fibs.

The only good thing about this week, is seeing Yvonne Atkins.

Oh and I wish they would quit showing me the fag close ups. I quit on Monday and after my evening meal is when I crave one the most. (deep breaths)

I didn't realise Deano and Carly wouldn't recognise their mother.

It's good to see Yvonne Atkins again!!

I've missed a few episodes - what's wrong with Evie?

She has cancer.

This week has been a bit pants, like others I wanna see whats happening with Ian and Jane and evil Pauline. I couldn't care less about Bert's dying wife, mainly cos I don't give a fig about Bert.

Although I like the characters of Denise and Kevin a whole week of episodes centred round them is a bit much. I can't wait for all this filler stuff to go so that we can get to the really juicy Xmas storylines.

Not a Dean free episode

Evie's secret took me by surprise. I was sure she would say that he wasn't her daughter's father

Surely Patrick should have left soon after his relevation

I don't see it as filler stuff at all

I found tonights episode a bit boring.

It was boring in my opinion in some parts but I have to admit, I have had mixed feelings about this week. I really love the Denise character but like most characters she is becomming softer than she was when she first arrived.

Yvonne wooo lol, she looks really different. I enjoyed her, aww, cant believe Carly and Deano didnt recongnise her. Kevins face at the end was priceless.

I also cant wait for the fallout of Ian/Jane and Pauline.

Strangely enough I really enjoyed tonight's episode. EastEnders is finally getting itself back together and I think the recovery is being felt. Characters are being developed, etc. I'm really looking foward to Shirley; EastEnders made a wise choice in casting the actress.

where is shirley's character page on the official website? She is a proper character but she doesn;t have a link to her personal details. She is permanent isn't she?

I'm not sure but I hope so.

Yes, but not until the 1st of January, she is only in it tonight and tomorrow before returning on the 1st and also Pretti and Li haven't got profils yet and Ruby hasn't been taken off.

That was the best episode in a long while

I like her!

Linda Henry is ace.

I thought Evie's secret would be that - I'm sure I read that somewhere!

Oh, I loved that. So utterly fantastic to see Linda Henry back on TV - and playing a character not a million miles away from Yvonne Atkins.

Just one episode in and Shirley Wicks is by far my favourite new arrival this year bar none

Nice to see Bert getting serious for once aswell
