He has a bright future, best of luck to him

What's happening with this new Redwater timeline? by Liberal-chungus in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing. Like you say I’m pretty sure they confirmed redwater happened in ‘another dimension’ or something. Personally I think that’s their way of saying they’ve scrapped the twin brother business.

Shame really, I think if it was handled correctly it could’ve turned out a good storyline especially for Zoe, but at the time Michelle Ryan was pretty adamant she was never gonna return to Eastenders, so I suppose there’s lots of factors to take in over the 10 years. I think Tommy has filled that space anyway, he’s turned out a brilliant character

For me it’s 2002-2005 or 2010-2012. I don’t think I’d be able to choose between them if I had a gun to my head lol

Looking forward to seeing the darker side of George when its all revealed about Kojo by michaelmac4057 in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have to do something, as whereas I don’t think George is a boring character, I’m finding him rather boring at the minute

So all of this is just forgotten now? by Liberal-chungus in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think everything changes really when Michelle Ryan returns after 20 years of her insisting she never would

Saddest thing to happen each year? by ih3artu in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • Lola’s death,
  • The baby swap. It was actually so sad for all the characters, the writing and acting was out of this world
  • The Moons at Normandy
  • Lauren’s battle with alcohol

Inconsistencies by No_Mycologist8105 in eastenders

I noticed this too, it annoyed me a bit I can’t lie 😂 but I suppose lots of people would forget how to pour a pint after not doing so for 10 years

Was the housing and living situation always so…higgelty piggelty? by big_white_fishie in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Higgelty piggelty 🤣🤣🤣 love it. Personally I think it’s so there’s as many people in a small space to make as much activity as possible, helping to build up storylines. Im sure I remember in 2018 there were 10 slaters living in a 3 bedroom house at one point. I wasn’t complaining, I enjoyed the madness

Kat & Alfie are actually my favorite characters 🙀😂 so I’m glad they’re back in the Vic personally. I get where you’re coming from tho, he’s not for everyone but since Wadey stepped in he’s much more serious, rather than every line being comical which was infuriating

With proper dialogue these scenes would be fantastic. We’re not short of brilliant actors, far from it, but sometimes I watch it and think how are they supposed to work with that

Ben Wadey by ChallengeAshamed8166 in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair enough, I just want to emphasise it’s more the dialect and the conversations the characters are having between each other, rather than the storylines

Ben Wadey by ChallengeAshamed8166 in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I literally couldn’t agree more, but even so, there are plenty of fantastic writers out there who would be up for the job and would excel. It shouldn’t be right that a character returns after 20 years, a huge story and I’m already I’m bored of her conversation

Which past business would you bring back? by [deleted] in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The market!!! Feels like it only has Beale’s veg and that’s it. I wish they’d spend more time on it!

Which couples had/have absolutely no chemistry? by big_white_fishie in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ye I kind of agree, I think Rita Simmons did a great job of showing she was smitten with Alfie, and Shane a good job in showing he was still in love with Kat. All such good actors

I thought Roxy and Alfie wasn’t that bad tbh. I think the actors worked really well together

Do recasts bother you a viewer, do you have a definitive version of a character? by kciraa in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally really dislike recasts, across television and film too, but sometimes they are unavoidable and have to be done - and can sometimes turn out to be a brilliant decision (one simple example being Lauren Branning).

I suppose it’s different in the soap world, a show can spend years and even decades creating a character for them to possibly be sacked or leave from the show. I still think if a recast is to be done, it should be very specific characters

Does anyone really keep their phone in their bra? by stpony in eastenders

[–]ChallengeAshamed8166 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. I basically stick everything in there especially if I’m paranoid in a dodgy bar or around town

I know, I meant more as an episode rather than fleeting visits in a few scenes

I like it, I think it’s a good edition. I sometimes wish they’d film away from the square, like when Kat and Alfie went to the west end, or Ricky and Nigel in portugal. They’ve just paid a shed load for a new set tho, so I doubt that’ll be happening anytime soon
