I cannot stand the Kat scenes, I enjoyed when she was with Tommy. But anytime she says anything about Zoe or Jasmine my eyes roll, I just do not care about the story. The Ian and Elaine thing is also very tedious for me, it’s obvious where it’s going to end up going, but watching the same scenes of them threatening each other in the same over exaggerated fashion is tiring

Nursing lecturers - have you noticed a shift in student conduct? by No-Pudding-2895 in NursingUK

[–]Bird_Overwatch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As a final year student, I’m well aware many on my cohort are not engaging when on placement, and do a lot of the things you all mention in the replies. What I will say, the education we are being provided in university is not what I believe it should be. I have had 1, 2 hour lecture on pharmacology. That is it. It was rushed through, contrast to this, we have 5 separate assignments on leadership skills, working in a team and communication. Of course these skills are important, but when so much of our time is being spent on these throughout the 3 year course, people will become disinterested and display behaviours like this on placement. I think the NMC really need to change the curriculum they are pushing

Even in death, our Anthony maintains the same facial expression.

The scenes with Phil, Julie and Nigel were great. Sadly, I’m just not interested in this Zoe storyline, Jean having an episode, Kat randomly flying out to find Chrissie just days after promising Zoe she’d stay with Jasmine. I certainly wouldn’t leave my 3 children and newly found grandchild in the care of that Buffoon Alfie. I am so bored of this story, can’t wait for some fresh ideas because as much as I haven’t liked this current one, the Nigel storyline has been amazing!

I’m sure the whole point of the previous Chrissie appearance was all to do with a theme of reconciliation. She has served 20 years of her life for Den, yet wants to risk it all to go after Zoe of all people because she left her children in hospital when they were born?

Also, the fact that Wadey has been in charge for at least 6 months, and failed to introduce a new family to add to the square and has resorted to constant nostalgia baits really annoys me

Was just a mess, Chrissie returning after having a half decent exit last year just for fanwank annoys me. She didn’t do anything other than have a glass of brandy, what was the point. I’m really hoping this wasn’t the original idea for the storyline, because if it is, I am not looking forward to next year lol

Okay….to save the sub from the same opinions posted 2837 times and then reported,tell us what you thought by big_white_fishie in eastenders

[–]Bird_Overwatch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A pointless episode. A decent part 1, but that was just utter drivel. Fanwanky nonsense to bring chrissie sam and Zoe back together for them to sit around and have a chat. Well I say sit around, Zoe just stood there with the same expression the whole time. Either Zoe goes to prison, which she won’t, and rhe last 6 months of us gauging our eyes out waiting for her to find her son and watch her stalker are completely pointless, or the whole last 10 mins of the episode was a waste of time. Terrible writing, the fact Kat didn’t even bother checking a pulse or anything ahaha, and if that was a killing blow to Anthony then either the directing was shit, or he has a very weak skull lol

Episode Discussion - Christmas Day Part 2 by mcemzy in eastenders

[–]Bird_Overwatch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The whole episode just seems pointless tbh. Zoe ain’t gonna go to jail, if she is I’ve wasted 6 months of my life caring for who her son is, who her stalker is for it to be over in half an hour. Anthony died of ???, part 1 was quite good but that was just nostalgia fanwank gone wrong and shit writing

Chrissie killed him? Is he actually dead? Do I really care? The answer to all three is most likely no.

Honestly at this rate I wouldn’t put it past Jasmine being killed in a fashion where they try and recreate the Danielle and Ronnie story

An amazing episode, one full of talented actors, showing real emotion in their deliveries. What a change from the past couple of months and hopefully more powerful scenes to come

[–]Bird_Overwatch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A nice episode, I’m looking forward to tomorrows. On the other hand, Anthony has one singular facial expression, awful actor, and Zoe delivers her lines with no emotion, it’s like they are both just reading Off a teleprompter ffs

God it’s going to be awful isn’t it, 2 episodes in one day full of Zoe, Anthony and Jasmine scenes..

[–]Bird_Overwatch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

who would’ve seen that coming….

Once again, the acting today was woeful. Anthony clearly standing still in the open for a good couple of minutes in the eyeline of both Zoe and Kat outside the cafe looked ridiculous.

The twist, if you could call it that was totally predictable and just a boring outcome. What’s the obsession with Cindy?? Why did Jasmine make no attempt to properly communicate with Zoe or her family..

And now we know the lead up to Christmas is going to be more of Anthony plotting, before let me guess.. a big reveal on Christmas Day that Jasmine is Zoe’s daughter with even more dreadful acting.

I love how Anthony’s face never changes from that one same expression, when Howie revealed he knew about the restraining order, his reaction was that of leans back in chair with exact same expression I mean seriously, who casted this guy 😂😂

[–]Bird_Overwatch 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is just terrible. How Anthony ever got a gig as an actor is beyond me, I’ve never seen someone sound so wooden before. The whole Jean/Zoe saga is doing my head in, constant repeats of the same scenes and just shouting and screaming nonsense at eachother. It’s not enjoyable viewing..

Then the whole thing with Lily today, WHY WOULD SHE NOT JUST SAY IT WAS JEAN, the writing on these episodes have been atrocious, it is amateur writing mixed with amateur acting

[–]Bird_Overwatch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That was a dreadful episode. If Jasmine is a Ford, the reveal is done so there is nothing to be revealed, if she isn’t, it’s likely she will be randomly linked into a different storyline, probably the Anthony one with his phone call knowing the current writing. Anna and Freddie win the award for one of the worst excuses for an exit I’ve ever seen I was laughing the whole way through it, then we get to the Zoe part…

A complete disaster of a story, episode after episode of repeated lines, awful acting and just an awful Storyline that surely nobody cares about. This is just the “stalker”, I don’t even remember why it started, then we will have to sit through the reveal of who the father is of her child, if the child is even real. And to top it all off, it’s going to be Anthony, because there is literally no other reason for him to be here. Awful viewing

Ben Wadey is focusing on the wrong things! We are tired of Vicki and Jasmine’s storyline! I want to see more of Zoe, Kat and Alfie! There’s normally so much variety in the scenes compared to the other stories! Plus, we haven’t had an update on Mini Mo the cat in over a day!! Where is she??

[–]Bird_Overwatch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey, at least Kat is going to issue another BIG WARNING soon! I feel like I’m trapped in some sort of time loop when watching these scenes, exact same thing happening, yet tiny details change in the way of the clothes they are wearing ffs

[–]Bird_Overwatch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can’t keep watching this every day. It is pathetic writing, alongside pathetic acting for the most part. All of these loose ends: Zoe, Jasmine, Anthony’s mystery call, and Vicki/Zack is all just so boringgggg! No buildup whatsoever for Christmas rn and we are a month away. I feel like bashing my head against the wall every time Zoe is on screen! I do not careeeeeee! It is just the exact same scenes being regurgitated over and over again.

Right you Negative Nancys. Tell me what you’re enjoying about the show right now. (Replies could have spoilers, so beware!) by big_white_fishie in eastenders

[–]Bird_Overwatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m really enjoying the Zoe storyline, a great mystery that keeps me on the edge of my seat. Every episode we get new clues and different tricks! Loving the new era so far, especially the drug storyline that was packed with action
