Aidan has GOT to go,

by Anonymousreply 1February 22, 2018 12:41 AM

I'm thinking there'll be a "Who Killed Aidan?" story.

Problem is, no one would really care, and it would be cause for a party at The Vic.

It was one for an hour tonight and I couldn't stomach it, so switched off half way through. For the first time in ten years, I'm tempted to stop watching EE altogether.

They have no idea who Keanu is, hot or not. One day he’s a sweet guy with a heart on his sleeve, the next he’s a pretendy thug. And the actor just isn’t very interesting. I think the entire family should go.

I'm far more interested in why "Darius is having a tough time" than anything else on screen right now.

Let's see ...

- His hot boyfriend broke up with him and took the dog.

- At the last minute, his boss reneged on letting him have time off to go to the White Party Festival in Miami this week.

- His wealthy sugar daddy dropped dead of a heart attack, meaning he'll be homeless in two weeks.

- He blew his knee out in rugby practice last night and and won't be able to play in the gay league finals coming up.

- Carmel is still annoyingly contacting his ex-fiancé trying to manipulate the two of them into getting back together.

- Some big, smelly-looking thug named "Aidan MacSomething" showed up at his front door issuing threats and calling him a 'poof.'

Other ideas?

Harry Reid and Jac Jossa are going to end up doing panto to make ends meet. Jac's massive bodybuilder husband cheated on her and she's got really fat since she had her first kid aged 22. If she loses weight she could have a good career ahead of her but ONLY if she loses weight.

by Anonymousreply 129May 10, 2018 1:01 AM

I wouldn't doubt Jossa would like to work her way into something more along the lines of being a talk show panelist (e.g. Loose Women), owing to why she started her own Vlog on youtube ("Jacqueline's World") a few months ago. If she were able to get that kind of gig, then she may not have to lose a ton of weight, because the women at home would identify with her, plus she'd be sitting down most of the time.

Just how big is Pat’s old house?? They have Stacey, her three kids, Whitney, Tiffany, Kat, Mo, Jean, Hayley, and now Martin moving back in! 8 adults and 3 kids in a terraced council house with 1 bathroom?

If I read correctly upthread, Shaki bites it? Shame, he was starting to look good sans man bun and I like the friendship with Keegan. His character had potential I thought. Ah well. Will his death mean we’ll see the back of Carmel too?

With this move to Dubai, does this mean Denise is leaving too? I know Davood/Kush is leaving the show, wondering if this is Denise’s exit too — or will she change her mind at the last minute to stay and be there for her sister?

I am so sick of the Carter family drama!! Mick is such a pussy. Obviously they’re setting Stuart up in some revenge storyline (“you have the life I should have had!”) with I’m guessing Halfway as the eventual savior who will stand up to, stop Stuart and save Mick or Linda.

WTF is the story with Kat and Alfie?? She faked her reunion with him and the kids the other week, what’s going on? Is the whole “Redwater” story scrapped? I thought I read Alfie is coming back - any updates?

I think they made a mistake wrapping up the whole Weyland story so quickly. I’m not saying it should have gone the full 3 years originally planned, but the posh baddies offered a lot of options beyond the Wilmott-Brown revenge story. Plus there was Uncle Hugo, who made that whole speech about starting in the EastEnd and hating it (or similar) when he first showed up with Max.

Why/how is Max even in contention to be baby Abi’s guardian??? Tonya’s not going for guardianship?? Only Cora?? And yes, Max, marrying a prostitute and crack addict will help with the social. Not to mention killing your daughter’s fiancée, trying to kill the same daughter’s mother-in-law, and threatening bodily harm on same daughter’s brother-in-law. Never mind the fact that he’s directly responsible for the deaths of 2 of his children; while his remaining 2 have nothing to do with him. Couldn’t Cora spill that tea and ruin any chance Max and Rainey may have? I’m going to guess for the 3 references he needs, he’ll get Jack, somehow convince Stacey, and now approach Mel since he helped her track down Hunter. Would be awesome if Cora lines up letters from all Max has wronged and gets custody, sending Max and Rainey off the rails. Ugh. Ridiculous storyline!

So Phil wants to rebuild his empire? Ugh. He’s way too long in the tooth to be the resident hardman. Bring in some young modern criminal gangster types, they’ll run circles around Phil and his small time scams, finally making Phil realize his time has passed.

Ben’s coming back? I thought Jay was leaving too - can’t see Ben coming back.

Yes, I 100% agree, EE needs not only some good looking men but some gay storylines with some good looking men. As it is, there are no gays, only 2 bi women (Tina and Sonia) on the show. Woeful.

It sounds like the story is going to be around Kush rethinking his decision to move to Dubai, because, with Shaki having been murdered, he doesn't think he can leave Carmel alone. Apparently, Umar and Darius are both expecting him to stick with the plan, though.

My guess would be that neither the loyal son nor Denise will be going anywhere.

R140 - agreed 100%!!! Are Cora and Max really the only options for baby Abi?!? If so, British Social Services seem as fucked up as NYC’s ACS. I’m guessing Tonya is still mid breakdown? Lauren I’ll just assume is being her normal selfish self and couldn’t be bothered.

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if neither get baby Abi and the social set her up with foster parents aunt and uncle Chattergee (sp?)!

PS - was anyone else totally unsatisfied and confused by Jane’s permanent departure from the Square was handled and the “we’ve just grown apart” explanation of Ian’s for their split? They (writers) really made a dog’s dinner out of that, and most of the storylines they had to tie up once TBTB decided to end the whole Weyland storyline, seemingly with no notice.

Recall, the episode started with the anonymous person sitting in his SUV watching people (who included Linda, Mick and Halfway). And it ended with a masked Stuart accosting Mick in the barrel room. .. Also, when they showed the guy in the SUV, he was wearing black and had a wristwatch on his right arm ... same as Stuart.

haha ... The difference between EastEnders and Hollyoaks ...

Not long before "Stuart" showed up in Walford to harass his nerdy, younger brother, "Callum" and cause trouble with The Carters -- Hollyoaks introduced a character named "Theo" who showed up in Chester to harass his nerdy, younger, brother, "Milo" and stir things up among The Cunninghams.

Matt Kennard, who's playing "Theo," is not only a talented, charismatic actor, but looks like this (below).

Plus, the story's better as well, since it actually ties into an event that happened on the soap 14 years ago.

And that radio report Mick was listening to was a blooper, right? .. The announcer said Shakil "was pronounced dead at the scene," but that's not what we saw. When Shakil was found in the garden, Kush said he was still breathing, and Ian was directing them what to do. The police investigator was there calling the ambulance, and the paramedics put oxygen on Shakil. The doctors were still working on him in the next episode when Carmel came running into the hospital, and that's when we saw the monitors flatline.

And since Shakil still had enough energy in him at that point to walk all the way over to the garden, why didn't he just plop himself down at the front door of The Vic instead and start banging on it with his foot? He knew Mick was still up, and he could even hear voices coming from behind the door. .. We soon saw Shirley escorting Ted out the door. .. And I still don't understand how or why Shakil ended up hidden under the bushes and behind the trash bags in the garden? .. Makes absolutely no sense. .. If he'd stayed out in the open, Bernie & Keanu or Denise & Kush would have found him. We saw both couples go through the garden.

Riley and Chatham can go off to their dad - write it up like it’s for a better special needs school or something. But I think Karen and Keegan stay. I like Karen so that’s fine by me; Keegan can be annoying, but I’m indifferent on him staying or going.

I’m sick of Whitney, so I wouldn’t mind if she and Halfway hit the road, tho then there’s no reason for Tiffany to stay, and as annoying as she can be in that annoying 14yo girl way, I like her and Bernadette. They remind me of Shirley and Heather in that weird best friends combo way.

I read online that Danny Dyer hasn’t renewed his contract yet, so maybe he’ll jog on. Hopefully if he does it won’t be some uber tragic Carter family storyline - there’s been more than enough of those, thank you.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the back of Billy & Honey Mitchell - he gets a proper job miles and miles away and he and Honey decide on a fresh start.

I read Mo is somehow involved with the stolen $15K from e20, I guess that could be used to write her out.

I do remember reading that both Kush and Tina were leaving the show, but that was a while ago. I thought the Dubai thing would have worked as an exit, but now I guess not? Since Tina’s gone off to visit ZsaZsa, will there just be a phone call saying she’s staying and that’s it?

Disappointed we only got the handsome Darius for two or three days. Too bad he wasn’t the new gay guy on the Square!

Speaking of gays on the Square, here’s a thought - since Kim is losing the house, have a young, good looking gay couple buy it. Like a City boy and his personal trainer partner. That’s a start at least.

I’m not a fan of this convoluted Kat-Alfie-Hayley story. It just seems sloppy. I suppose we’re forgetting everything that happened in “Redwater” too.

by Anonymousreply 226July 9, 2018 7:54 PM

Important issue, but personally I didn't care much for the documentary scenes breaking into [interrupting] the drama. .. But that said, the final scene wouldn't have been nearly as effective (which it was), if they hadn't featured these people somehow. Since I don't have a solution, I won't criticize.

One thing I really could have done without is all the Bernie and Tiff chatter taking up time. Totally pointless, not to mention annoying. .. Also, I'd rather heard Darius and Kush get up there and tell a story about Shaki than listen to Keegan and Bex. So on that point, I agree with R217. Finally, I'm not a fan of that old device where some character (in this case, Carmel) makes a loved one's funeral all about themselves. You just know how it's going to play out.

Seeing the new vicar, reminded me that we haven't seen Dot in ages. Is June Brown quite ill now? How much longer can they say Dorothy is over in Ireland visiting Charlie? .. And I guess Jay is just relegated to funeral duty now? If he's going to be Les Coker, then they should at least introduce a new flower stall girl for him to play Pam.

Does anyone thinking that this story of Stuart being abused in juvie is BS and more likely he did the abusing? I figure the eagerly awaited and hopefully swift conclusion of this storyline will see Stuart dead and Mick doing some time, thus allowing him time off to do the play.

Is Kelly Bright pregnant again? Lot of loose tops and layers the past few episodes.

I actually like Robbie and Donna - her exit was crap, to be honest. I actually thought she might top herself as she was looking at all the pics of everyone who left her behind. Glad they didn’t go that route.

I still find it inconceivable that poor baby Abi’s only options are Cora or Max & Rainie. Poor kid would be better off with Masood’s aunt and uncle.

As soon as we heard how fugly Stuart used to take "the torture game" far too seriously, I thought that.

Plus, he's obviously some kind of sociopath-psychopath, and they're generally known to be pathological liars. It would be just like Stuart to fabricate a lie like that just to make Mick feel even more guilty for Stuart going to young offenders in place of Mick.

I also didn't get why Stuart was hunting paedophiles who were after young girls. If he was trying to relate what he was doing to what he (supposedly) suffered, wouldn't he be hunting down pervs who were after teenage boys?

[quote] I still find it inconceivable that poor baby Abi’s only options are Cora or Max & Rainie. Poor kid would be better off with Masood’s aunt and uncle.

True. And it's one of the reasons I can't "get into" this story. It seems like a storyline constructed around which actors were available as opposed to what characters we should actually be seeing.

That’s exactly when it clicked for me too R273!

I totally agree re: making it up to guilt Mick. Speaking of - is Mick the biggest mug ever, or is it just me? He came on EE as some supposed east end tough guy, but he’s proven himself over and over to be a functional idiot and a pussy. Did he even throw a punch at Aiden or was he happy to let some geriatric gangster beat him? They did much the same to Vince - from tough guy to quivering pussy. I don’t blame the actor for wanting out of EE given how the writers wrecked his character.

As for why Stuart hunts the pedos - I think “hunt” is the key word. To him (and other psychos/socios), he is the hunter and everyone else is prey. No doubt, he put that guy in the hospital and probably others.

I can’t get into the Max/Rainie/Baby Abi/Cora story either. No just for the above, but I just can’t understand how the entire Square doesn’t seem to care anymore about what Max did - killed Stephen, tried to kill Jane, threatened Bobby, swindled most of the Square, used Carmel, responsible for his daughter’s death - and that’s just the last year! Never mind his past misdeeds! I thought these hard core East End types never forget wrongs, and hold a grudge to the grave?

Whoever said it upthread, I agree I would gladly trade the entire Stuart storyline (and a few others) for a longer Wilmott-Brown/The Chairman/posh baddies storyline. Another wasted opportunity as far as I’m concerned.

I’m still hoping for a new and hot gay couple to buy the gym and join the Square. In my dreams, said couple would be Paul McNulty and fiancé Andres Santana - or similar, I’m nothing if not open minded.

This thing with fugly Stuart is like a really bad movie having nothing to do with anything else that they've simply broken into a few dozen parts and "inserted" into EastEnders.

In that respect, it's very similar to "The Big Heist" with Aidan McGuire that we had to sit through earlier this year.

Another similarity between the two is that both of these bad "movies" star Danny Dyer (Mick Carter) opposite some big, bad villain who's playing mind games with Mick. First Aidan, and now Stuart.

The first one was bad enough. This one's even worse.

Aidan was in 32 episodes, and so far Stuart's logged 25.

I wish he only had seven more to go, but it seems like this bad flick is going to last longer.

🙈 OMG ....... Now we are possibly going to be offended by a possible affair between Keanu and that fat cow Sharon? Say it isn't so !

It was bad enough that we almost had to deal with a possible incestuous love affair between BigButt Bernie and the suggestion that Keanu was the baby daddy. Fortunately, that was nipped in the bud due to audience outrage. I sincerely hope they do the same with Keanu and Sharon. She's a fat, hot mess whose fashion sense is on par with the teens in Walford. She looked ridiculous on Friday in her short skirt and sneakers. UGH!

Keanu is a sweet, hard working young man, despite his mother, brother Keegan, and the rest of the f'd up Taylor clan. Find a nice girl for him, please. Someone his own age!

I think Linda is covering for Mick - but I don’t think Mick did it, but to coincide with his sabbatical for the West End play, he’ll be arrested. How many times are Mick and Linda going to swear “no more secrets” to each other, and then go about keeping major secrets from each other? Ugh!

Dylan is too obvious, Halfway was too undone by it all to have done it, Linda seems to think she’s covering for Mick. Also, Mick would be too easy. For whatever reason, don’t see it as Shirley either.

Suspect wise for me comes down to Tina and Whitney. Tina did say she was calling the ambulance, but we know she didn’t; Whitney made the comment about not being afraid, not needing a man to protect her AND she erased some of Halfway’s texts with Stuart.

I’m a bit disappointed that DI Kebble and DCI Marsden aren’t the ones investigating the shooting.

The whole Sharon-Keanu storyline is ridiculous in my opinion. It really doesn’t match with how they’ve written him. As is the fact a fit, muscular 20-something Keanu was beat by a near 60 yo out of ship transplant recipient Phil. I thought Keanu was embracing his “dark side” since beating the youth gang kids. Guess he’s just going to stay a pussy, like Mick who acts the hard man, but isn’t at all.

Guesses on who Phil is involved with in the shady Portugal deal? I was wondering if it was Keanu’s father as I read he’s supposed to show up at some point. But now thinking Ray may be involved.

Also, on Ray - he’s a highly placed undercover cop yet his sister is some mob queen?? Was he always a cop or is this some new rewrite?

Some of these storylines of late are just ridiculous and unbelievable. It’s like the writers are just throwing stuff out there, seeing what sticks, what works. There were some storylines with much better potential from the whole Weyland story they should have kept and let play out instead of wrapping them all up so quickly and so badly.

They made a point of showing Shirley with her trusty baseball bat locking the place up and bolting the doors from the inside. But later on, they showed Stuart in the men's room talking to himself in the mirror. .. So I'm wondering if Dennis may have given Stuart a way in? .. either by somewhere inside and letting him in one of the back doors or actually getting Stuart a key. .. Didn't they mention not that long ago that Sharon still had keys to The Vic? .. And last week, I think Shirley said something about how she couldn't find her key to the barrel room? ..

R428, EastEnders doesn’t make any effort to portray any legal matters properly. For example, the custody battle between Max & Tanya’s mother for Abi’s baby daughter. Tanya’s mother’s age means she wouldn’t even be considered for custody of a baby. Absolutely no chance. Also Jack thinking he had any chance of keeping Ronnie’s son that wasn’t biologically his. Total non-starter as well. Also, the Carters selling the freehold of the pub without Mick’s consent. There’s now a procedure in place that would effectively make the fraud Shirley committed impossible. And so on.

Since TPTB can't be bothered with any kind of gay storyline on this show, I'm just going to assume that the two cute mechanics from The Arches are boyfriends in love.

With their combined salaries and some savings, they've now got enough money to move into the small flat that Lee and Whitney used to rent from Jack.

Based on what we were told during that 2017 PSA on Ian's diabetic condition -- given his current obese state -- he should either have gone blind, lost a limb, or died by now.

As for Leticia Dean, I've never really paid much attention to her weight, until now. It makes hot, young Keanu look like a chubby chaser. And instead of taking them seriously as a couple, the whole thing comes off quite hilarious. Add the orange skin and horrible hair extensions, and the sight of them doing it on that tiny kitchen table was just laughable.

The chemistry between Ruby and Linda was so great on Thursday’s episode. I’d almost be willing to accept a storyline where she’s Linda and Mick’s long lost firstborn who’d been sold to Johnny Allen by Aunt whatsername.

Sharon has gone down under on Keanu's nether regions on many occasions.

R585 Not that I'm promoting a bio-relationship between the two women, but they could conceivably make Linda and Ruby sisters.

Recall, during Linda's rape story with Dean, her mother, Elaine, confessed that she'd cheated on Linda's father, John Peacock (unseen), before he died. .. They could say that the guy Elaine had her affair with was Ruby's father, Johnny Allen. .. The age difference between Linda and Ruby is about 11-12 years, so they're more like sisters. .. Elaine could say she knew the baby was Johnny Allen's but didn't think she could handle a newborn, while running the pub and caring for her sick husband (who later died when Linda was 15). .. So Johnny Allen told Elaine, he'd take their baby and raise it with his wife, Stephanie (also unseen). .. Or they could go the other route and say Stephanie Allen had an affair with John Peacock and passed the baby off as her husband, Johnny's. And once John Peacock died, who toddler Ruby would know as her father became moot.

R583 Yes, Martin found out. Almost immediately. Stacey told him a day or so later. He and Stacey separated with him moving in with his ex-wife, Sonia, over at Dot's place. Martin and Stacey had one endless row after another, especially where custody of the children was concerned. The Kazemi's got involved because of Arthur being Kush's bio-son. For awhile, it looked as if Sonia and Martin might reconnect. While I didn't want that, I also didn't care if Martin and Stacey got back together. I think she treats him like shit -- so disparaging and dismissive of his feelings.

Good idea, R587.

How does Martin tolerate living under the same roof with Stacy and their kids plus Mo, Kat, Jean, Haley, Hayley's kid, Tiffany, Whitney, part time Ruby ..... Have I forgotten anyone? And now that Alfie's back, where are they gonna put him? And you just know all hell's gonna break loose when Alfie is revealed as baby daddy !

R590 The living situation that Stacey has subjected Martin to is insufferable.

Now, that Carmel is gone, Martin should take Arthur and go bunk with his true love, Kush .. lol! .. They can raise the boy together.

Where the fuck is Kathy? Is the actress having health issues?

by Anonymousreply 592December 7, 2018 11:37 PM

R592 I remember seeing Kathy last month in one of the episodes where Cora was staying at Beales with Baby Abi. That's about it. Given Kathy's history, I'm kinda surprised they didn't have her in the episode where all those characters were in The Vic discussing the sexual politics of consent. Same with the barely-there, Jay, given some of the (false) public accusations, he endured a couple of years ago.

R593, Kathy wasn’t seen for months, was in that one episode and then promptly pissed off to Spain! Very strange.

Some please take Shirley to a salon and have that ratty hair cut off. She looks like roadkill.

She always looks awful, though. She looked much worse when she first started, though.

by Anonymousreply 596December 11, 2018 2:31 PM

She looked very hard and unkempt when she first started indeed.

Sharon is looking well these days

When did Alfie Moon become such a monster? It is also unbelievable that that house of strong women would even sit through his attempt to take over and assign duties in a house where he is only a guest. The problem with EE now is that it has no loveable or even barely likeable characters. Kush is the exception but only because of his Semitic good looks.

Kush is gorgeous.

Alfie is intolerable now. Will they ever fucking explain how they frittered away £1m?
