Eastenders # 32 I lived there for 30 years and never touched an eel

[Eirawen]

Really like Billy’s dad, hope he sticks around. It’s nice to have another east end geeza type character again.
So glad the fake pregnancy storyline is over.

Don’t feel one bit sorry for Whit, she treated Zach like tit for so long. Cheating is never okay but in this case it’s understandable.

I don't like Billys dad he is like a thick skinned leech, him lecturing Jay was cringeworthy especially when he followed him back home with that Floozie barmaid.

[Prince fan 1999]

Probably one of the worst television moments in years

And years

Thanks for reminding me of the Eurovision cringe. I had mentally blocked it out

Well that's it he won't win it now!!

 

[lucylucyapplejuicy]

I forgot to include that in my spoiler because it was so cringe my brain rejected keeping it as a memory.

Every time Eastenders has a cameo it’s cringe AF, but they cannot help themselves

 

[Marilyn345]

In case anyone’s not seen it.

 

[gigilouxx]

Omg I thought that was the guy Chelsea’s been seeing ffs. Need to get my eyes tested

Spoiler: Tonight's

Poor Yolande with the creepy pastor, I'm looking forward to the two hander with her and Patrick. Hope she reports him. Nadine can duck off now, I like Stevie but there is a part of me that's suspicious of him... that girl was nippy in the car lot. duck off Shitney proposing to Hitler 2.0 (I can't unsee the Hitler hair now someone pointed it out)

I've just caught up with yesterday's episode.

The creepy Pastor needs his comeuppance handed to him pronto. Hopefully Yolande will be the one to hand him his arse and get justice for the other women he's abused in the past. I'm looking forward to that and Angela has given excellent performances so far.

The Eurovision scene was cringe but Whitless proposing to Zack was even worse than seeing Olly Alexander in the Vic

I'm on the fence about Stevie at the moment. He's a good actor but a sketchy character. I see him as the new Rocky Cotton - a con man who can't be trusted. Will he stay a shady character or is he really there to redeem himself

Nadine was a selfish witch and I hope that's the last we see of her. I don't feel sorry for Jay though because he's a wet idiot.

Looking forward to the new stories involving George and his son coming into the show. Cindy will hopefully stir up some trouble too. She's due to revert ack to type because she's been far too reasonable since she returned.

Does this mean that the six storyline has now effectively finished? If Dean does get convicted on flimsy evidence they've all got away with it.
Eastenders are poor at concluding some stories and they seem to whimper out (like Stacey and Theo).

Sharon is also noticeably absent again. Shes hardly featured since she came back from Oz. What's going on there?

 

[dillychopgirl]

If they go down this road I wonder if they will make Nadine a full sister to Lola. As in, Emma was pregnant when she left Lola’s dad and never told him. Because then Nadine would be Billy’s granddaughter and related to all the Mitchells.

Dear god please no

Olly seems to get a free pass with the BBC, literally

I don’t know why, he’s a shite actor. I really can’t go him

I hope the creepy pastor storyline ends more satisfactory than the Theo storyline, which as you say kind of fizzled out without a dramatic conclusion.

The Theo storyline wasn’t helped due to Freddie having to be written out because of Bobby B doing Strictly etc. Freddie’s assault on Theo couldn’t be concluded. I wonder if it will be revisited when Freddie comes back

 

[Lizzie Mintdrop]

The Pastor will now turn into a serial killer, in true EE style, he'll be used as the baddie for every storyline now. We'll see him throwing kittens into the Thames, he'll piss on Lola's memorial bush, pull Lexi's hair out and shave Reiss's beard off () and then he'll kill the six. Feel free to add any scenario imaginable.

Now that George Junior's coming into it, I wonder how many rumours there will be about him being literally any black woman's (from the Sq's) son. Yolande, Denise and Kim will all be named as the woman in question, even though none of them knew George before he came into the show.

I’m struggling to decide whether the Eurovision cameo was more cringe than St Lola’s funeral

Funny you should mention that, there was a scene of the pub watching a DVD of Lola singing a slow sad version of ‘King’ with Shrimpy on guitar and the flower shop lady on backing vocals, whilst Olly Alexander cried, but it got cut

Why was the reaction to Olly so lacklustre? I’m not a fan so I wouldn’t care but I thought he had some fans. No one was that bothered really

Don’t have a problem with him personally, quite like him actually, but that cameo was cringe as duck. It was just cheesy and forced and even the stronger actors in the cast couldn’t pull it off. Also, I’m already boycotting Eurovision anyway so don’t wanna see anything about it really.

It's the way they introduced him. It was like "He's gay, and so is Johnny. That'll do". If rocky was still in it it would've been his mate

I liked the way they decided that Johnny was the only gay in Walford who could feasibly have Olly as a friend. Felix must have been runner up because Callum and Bernie wouldn't fit the bill

Stevie (Billy's dad*) has a penchant for popping up everywhere almost as much as Sonia.

(*added because somebody asked who Stevie was earlier in the thread and it just tickled me, considering he's been absolutely every-bloody-where this week the Vic, Beale's Eels, the laundrette, Peggy's, the car lot, the market. Next week, he'll be hanging out at McKlunky's and joining the community choir.)

He's a better Dot replacement than Sonia

I’m thinking he’s got a big storyline coming up

 

[LouBug19]

I think Stevie could be ill, he was taking about time and then there was the note on his jacket which mentioned time was on his side.. I think he's dying and that's why he's making amends.
