I'm ready for these current stories to be wrapped up and to move onto the new writers. Every now and then we get a strong episode but I don't find myself invested in the stories anymore. In particular, I feel the Cindy attack mystery has fallen flat and I'm beyond ready for Reiss to get his comeuppance. I hope the anniversary allows them to really move things forward.
Cracking episode today!
Seeing Young Sam reminds me how much I want Sam back!
I couldn’t care less “Who Walloped Cindy”. The way Michelle is playing it is coming across hysterical to me. I don’t think that’s the point of the storyline!

Wow, what an amazing episode.
Phil's speech to Jay about how he should be dead... we are so lucky to have Steve.
Honestly the two young guys they got in again for Grant and Phil were eerily good, even better than last time. Young Phil especially obvs, voice, mannerisms were phenomenal.
That scene was nothing short of incredible - probably one of the best scenes I've ever seen on the show, so raw and real, Steve McFadden is just phenomenal.
Fucking hell what an episode. They nailed every aspect of the younger Mitchell clan. I’ve gotten a bit tired of the Phil stuff but Steve deserves every single award for his performance in this
The amount of history drawn on (35? years of Phil) and every moment of it paid off in that scene. Instantly one of if not the best character moments seen on the show. It can be frustrating that the soaps don't always utilise their unique position in having so much history with their characters, but EastEnders is probably the best at doing it and has a cast with the ability to knock it out of the part.
Steve McFadden high key one of the best actors we've ever produced as a country!!
Some well deserved credit for Steve in national press:

Yeah last night was amazing. Not only Steve McFadden but Jamie Winstone has got Barbara's Peggy down without feeling like an impersonation. The young Phil (especially as we saw more of him) and Grant were so good too! Although I struggled to comprehend how Jay could have left Phil after he opened up more to him in that conversation than I imagine he's ever done and was obviously not OK. I love how we can go from the ridiculous campy Reiss and Cindy sagas to an episode which is so affecting. The range!
Definitely. I’ve been loving her recently. She has really become ‘Cindy’ again. Unhinged!
Watching live outside of Christmas feels weird. What do you mean The One Show is still going.
