Eastenders #22 Canoe is up hit creek without a paddle!

Why he bothered with her backpack when he was going to bury her is a mystery.

Evidence I guess? Would've probably buried it with her.

And the random Midlands accent!

His Midlands accent only seems to come out when he’s angry or distressed like when he was calling out for Eve in the woods

This is a legit thing. My ex was from near Wolvo but hasn't lived there for nearly 30 years, but if you piss him off he goes full on yam

Ravi running in the forest like a wolf

Oh now come one, more like an animated Elf on the Shelf in Hamleys.

Jack isn’t that old, he’s only in his 50s

I’m normally like guys a bit younger. But there is something about Eastenders and it’s 50 something daddies .

I’m looking at you Jack and Nish.

So when whoever digs her up they wouldn't need forensics, just look in her rucksack.

You are far too practical.

Sounds about right for EE characters though, criminal masterminds that they are.

If he was exhausted after one little dance on Strictly, how the hell would he manage a 2 hour show 8 times a week, or however often they run. Or two show days.

The elevation of Bobby Brazier is ridiculous. The fall will be as quick when they realise he has zero depth as an actor and can't hack a big role

He will go the same way as Rose Ayling Ellis. She was apparently going to be this that and the other after being flooded with offers after Strictly, but she's hardly been seen since. I think I have only seen her documentary.

Tbf soap stars rarely breakout, they almost always end up in another soap if a returning character. You barely even see them elevate to making it on a British TV drama let alone going as far as Hollywood.

There was a time I thought Lacey Turner would be the next big thing, she went to LA and everything, yet she's back on the square struggling for cash. Same as Michelle Ryan.

Himesh Patel is the only recent breakout star from EE (I can think of).

The ones who go to Hollywood from Home and Away always seem to do well

That's probably because they're better looking.
You have to have Hollywood looks to make it over there.

himesh patel has done incredibly well - he’s absolutely the most successful british soap star atm (not even just from eastenders) in terms of volume and prestige of work.

as said above though, uk soaps stars never get anywhere near the level of success as australian ones (who have multiple oscar noms/wins). i wonder if it is just a looks thing, or naturally that almost all australian actors seem to start on neighbours or h&a

I’m trying to think of an Australian soap actor who has gone to America from Neighbours or Home and Away that wasn’t good looking or considered hot

Alan Dale?

I’m not saying he’s not good looking but he was a bit older than all the others who made a career in the states and that’s Alan Dale who played Jim Robinson in Neighbours. He was middle-aged plus when he ended up in loads of US shows. Most of the Aussie soap stars who became successful were usually in their 20s/30s

 

[TrolleyParton]

Alan Dale also did well from being typecast as upper-class, WASPy rich dudes. He very much has that look about him.

Lacey Turner got Our Girl which I thought might launch a fairly decent TV career, but then she just came back to EE. I didn’t know she went to Hollywood. She’s not a bad actor but that’s a stretch.

UK actors only seem to do well in Hollywood if they’re gorgeous or they have comedic talent. They just don’t really have the gritty roles. Even ugly roles are played by pretty people.

This thread kills me on the coronation street thread you’d never see anyone talking about Roy or Dev like this but this thread is something else it’s brilliant it doesn’t matter how old the character is someone on here will have a thing for them

I’m sorry but how can you compare Jack to friggin’ Roy Cropper that’s proper cracked me up. Also we’re not all kids attracted to teenage boys. Some are older or just like an older man. And yeah Jack isn’t even that old, he’s still got it imo.

I agree, I think Lacey is good and I was surprised she never really did anything beyond Our Girl. But the best she could probably hope for is a career along the lines of Suranne Jones or Sheridan Smith - decent dramatic roles but hardly Hollywood material. I think Hollywood stars are more likely to be former models than soap actors in reality.

Martine McCutcheon had her big Love Actually role. But didn't she duck up by acting like a drunken harridan in front of some Hollywood studio heads? That was the end of her potential Hollywood career!

But I will love her forever for throwing up in Mick Hucknall's dreadlocks, forcing him to cut them. Legend!
