EastEnders

I don't have a real opinion either way about Karen or Dorothy Jr, but if Dreary Dana is there, then they should be too.

Anyway, I've always wanted Kim Medcalf back just because she was a great character and I love the mess of the role going back and forth, so this is great news.
 
Yes, it’s good news. Much better than re-casting again and have a third actress play her. Danniella Westbrook (or Danniella Morgan as she was known at this point) has just reappeared in the 1999 episodes on the Drama channel, after a gap of three years. Her acting is not good. They have to film her at angles so that her nostrils can’t be seen.
 
Really excellent acting from Zaraah Abrahams tonight. She's fantastic and has done such a fantastic job of adding some depth and further layers to the character of Chelsea.

That final scene with Whitney showing Chelsea having been completely manipulated by Gray was a complete knockout, I actually had to watch it over again because it was done so well and packed such an emotional punch.


Zaraah was absolutely phenomenal in this scene, and in the one where she was removing her makeup. Her and Shona work so well together. I really hope the show is able to hold onto her.

Also, not sure if anyone saw this! "Danniella Westbrook plans to sue BBC over EastEnders character replacement" https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news...r.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar

She has no grounds to sue unless it was somehow stated in her contract that she has an exclusive right to play the character. How bizarre.

Really they should hire both of them and just use them in alternate weeks. Or episodes. Or scenes! It wouldn't make any less sense than what they've done with the character up to this point.

Exactly. It's not as if she has any kind of current contract - she was last on the show in 2016. The only way I can think she'd have any sort of case is if the person in charge at the time (was it still Treadwell-Collins) made some kind of verbal, or even written, agreement that she could come back again.

The sexual chemistry in that police van
I definitely was expecting a kiss!
 
So Stacey had opened a Sandwich Van... yet Keegan already sells sandwiches on the square?
Isn't Stacey's just breakfast rolls though?

Also, it was a little frustrating that the "promo" for the past week's episodes were saying that Tina's body was going to be found, only for the complete opposite to happen. I know they're slowly drip dripping things at the moment - such as the nurse who spoke to Chelsea, and Whitney going to the police - but I really want them to start wrapping things up now. I was hoping it would all be done by birthday week, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
 
Gray isn’t dead is he? That would be a terrible way to deal with him. Much too quick and easy. Life-changing injuries perhaps? Or full recovery?

Hopefully Kheerat won’t be done for murder, manslaughter or attempted murder, assault etc. It’s Gray that needs to suffer, it’s been much too long coming.
