EastEnders, Part II

[QUOTE] Stop blaming the victim

I'm not, snowflake - I'm just saying that realistically there would be an array of reactions to rape/sexual assault. Yolande's frozen reaction as a meek Church lady was realistic. Linda's, less so, as she could have yelled the Vic down and alerted others living there. Ben Mitchell has beaten up so many characters that there's no way he wouldn't have fought the barman off. The guy was a similar height and build to him, not some Travis Kelce type who could have overpowered him.

RAVI is hot!

Ranveer is hotter.

Bianca's.coming back again, thankfully sans Milton Keynes.

Just to add about Shazza, she fought back with her nails when mad Dougie tried to rape her in 1994, leading to an armed siege at The Vic and 'chelle getting shot! I started watching as a kid around this time and thought Sharon was the height of glamour!

Another Sharon flashback, tricking Grant to propose to her before leaving him. She wouldn't be back for six years after this exit. As a little gay boy I used to act this out in my living room (playing Sharon of course!)

Sharon and Dennis just returned to Walford on Classic EastEnders, which means Dennis is about to die and Chrissie is off to the clink soon.

R7 killing Dennis off was a stupid mistake. Letitia was already leaving so they could have just left together happily.

Olly Alexander, Eurovision pass around bottom, will be visiting Walford.

Love Olly! He should be given a part in the show. Maybe he can play the new Ben Mitchell.

Not sure I see Olly fixing motors in The Arches, but who knows?

Olly could only play Ben, if we were to learn that, while in prison, Ben's love for musical theatre was reawakened, and he ended up starring in several inmate-produced plays staged for the prison rec room. He wowed the crowd with his Lady Gaga in "A Star Is Born."

Glad to see the back of Jade. Wish Denise and Jean would leave too. Whitney is being ridiculous over this lame Britney kid. Saying she'd pick Britney over Zach! Hope he leaves her.

Awwww I really love Jean, and she's a finer actress than meets the eye. I hear you wirh Denise, though. It's kabuki at this point.

Sad last days for Whitney. She exits in a month or two, as she's already filmed her last bits.

Bianca coming back!

Big ginger Patsy only skulks back when she needs help with the mortgage payments. Lindsay Coulson (Carol) was one of the shows finest actors ever

How big a career can Patsy Palmer have as a DJ in LA, anyway? And is her son still acting?

Tense Patsy Palmer interview on GMTV that she cut short.

R18 haha I actually love her for that, she was dignified but not putting up with any smarmy bullshit

She was on last night's episode and looks like she's hit the wall. She's only 51, but she has the ginger curse and looks closer to 60. Use sunscreen, people!

Ricckaaay!!!

Fucking hell she was annoying and so accurate a type.

And could Phil Mitchell's head possibly swell any more?

The jowels on Patsy Palmer. Jesus. Also did someone knock out her teeth and she had to get dentures? She looks awful.

How come Sharon didn't make bail? Why can't Lynda give her an alibi for when Keanu was killed?

They've clearly rewritten the plot as something's up with lovely Letitia

I think it’s pretty clear Tizzy Lish suffers from clinical depression.

We call her "Tits" in our house. She's currently chewing scenery with Dennis (sad last days) on Classic EE.

R25 what makes you say that?

Yes, Patsy looks terrible with that saggy lower face. Closer to 70 than 50. The actual 70 year old, Gillian Taylforth, has had excellent surgery and looks 55.

There are too many cast members over 50 and not enough in the 20-40 range. They keep bringing back the over 50s too (Cindy, Ian, Bianca) and kicking out the younger ones (Ben, Keanu, Lola, Whitney).

Characters between 20-40: Ravi, Chelsea, Priya, Jay, Callum, Lauren, Penny, Felix, Vinnie, Gina, Zach

Characters over 50: Billy, Phil, Sharon, Kat, Alfie Moon, Patrick, Yolande, Denise, Jack, Kathy, Rocky, Suki, Nish, Jean Slater, Harvey, Cindy, Ian, George, Elaine, George's Dad, Bianca

R27, she has a history.

As I posted (in the other thread?) Dean had some sort of breakdown over her impending divorce. It conveniently happened at the same time that Dennis was stabbed to death and Sharon left Walford. Someone who worked on the show at that time told me poor Tish was almost catatonic and had to get her dialogue seriously reduced. And the bits of dialogue which were still there had to be spoon fed to her by an off camera floor manager.

And it seems to be more than a coincidence that Tish appears to have gone down another mental spiral folliwing scenes in which Keanu was stabbed to death.

Dennis stabbing will be airing on Classic EE in a month or so if you want to see Tits' catatonia in action. That happened at the end of the year in 2005, and it looks like we're at about July right now with Zoe freshly gone.

R30 thanks, I remember your post and I recall Sharon not speaking to anyone apart from Phil when Dennis was killed. I assumed she would have had part of the storyline of getting revenge on Johnny

I just thought her divorce was later than 2006.

R33, it may have been. I guess it was in 2006 when they separated?
