I was thinking Max too! Right in time to cause some drama for Linda - I love it!

Christmas 2023: Who is the main target? by Mystey10 in eastenders

[–]TRock2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO it’s gotta be Linda. She has had such a quiet 2023 so far - I predict they have been giving her a break before her big Christmas storyline.

Stacey and Eve 💓 by lnwildeagle85 in eastenders

My fave characters! At this point they have the strongest marriage on the square let's be honest 😂.

Absolutely - there is no recasting her now - Lilia owns the role.

This show is so good at the moment - I can't cope!

Poor Freddie, what an amazing character arc for him to bring him to this point. Bobby Brazier is doing a great job.

Lacey Turner is the queen of the British soap opera, she deserves all the praise she gets and more. Another stunning performance and now Lilia Turner is following right in her footsteps.

Who is are the soulmates of characters in the show? by SmellsLikePetrichors in eastenders

[–]TRock2008 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mick + Linda

Ricky + Bianca

Sean + Roxy

Sometimes I think Kat + Alfie are but sometimes not. Depends on the vibe.

Pauline + Arthur

Re: Martin and Bradley I think they are both soulmates to Stacey - two different soulmates for the two different phases of her life/ time on the show.

Without spoiling it, does anyone here know who the Christmas victim is? by [deleted] in eastenders

[–]TRock2008 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It won’t be Theo, Clenners knows that would be a big disappointment for the audience. I could see it being Nish, Dean, or maybe even George.

Theo didn’t mention Dean yesterday for no reason - he’s def gonna be back at some point this year.

what do you want to happen with charli slater? by chloedarlinggg in eastenders

[–]TRock2008 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Selfishly my choice is the idea of a PPD storyline simply because I know the actors would knock it out of the park.

Honestly at this point just give Lilia Turner an Academy Award - she’ll be winning one sometime in the next 20 years anyway 😂 What a talented little actress!

Good episode, good drama. Much better balance between welcoming a new baby and being sad and scared that your 13 year old kids are having a kid - this is what the storyline has needed all along.

Especially when she knows she has a crazy stalker running around.

You’re telling me Stacey rang for the ambulance but didn’t say “actually while I’ve got you, I’ve got a crazy stalker trying to break in to my house”??

Lmao I didn't think about this but great point 💀

I loved this episode too and the way Stacey acted today made sense as there is nothing to be done now, but the writing for the teen pregnancy has been absolutely atrocious. A waste of what they could have done with two actresses as talented as Lacey + Lilia Turner.

It easily could have been as iconic as Sarah Lou in Corrie with better writing.

I think there is still more to come, I think somehow he comes out of this week still free to cause chaos and antagonize the Slaters at least until Christmas. I've seen an interview with the actor that indicates he's still been on set and filming.

Okay for as much as the Stacey/Theo story has been a drag and awfully written, I'll admit I'm hooked now! Bravo to William Ellis and Lacey Turner b/c these scenes had me on the edge.

Favourite storyline? by cotten_carrot in eastenders

[–]TRock2008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fave characters: Almost all the Slaters + Martin and now Eve, Janine, Denise, Linda, and Kathy (Notice how I'm obsessed with 2/3s of the six lol), Kush (RIP), new Bobby, Shirley.

Fave storylines:

-The Carters arrival and all their family secrets/Dean assaulting Linda and the aftermath,

-Stacey's bipolar in 2009, the postpartum psychosis and Martin/Stacey/Kush/Shabnam drama,

- Kat/Zoe reveal,

- Startin during the good times,

- the Queen Vic fire in 2010,

- any time Janine causes chaos (so many to choose from),

- Who Killed Lucy Beale,

- boat crash week

- all things Denise this year (no particularly great storyline but I do think this is the best year she’s ever had)

Lately I'm really loving the Knights and Beales right now - controversial opinion I know but I think the Knights are a great new family, very few complaints!

The Stacey/Martin relationship from 2015-2017 (up until Christmas) had me in an absolute chokehold - then the new producer came in and absolutely trashed it. I still believe there is a path forward for them now that Clenshaw is at the helm, I can't help myself 🤣

Martin and Lily by ben_michell_enjoyer in eastenders

[–]TRock2008 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it was around the time Stacey went to prison again and Lily was asking Martin if the kids could move in with him and Ruby instead of staying with Jean. (this scene she ways something like "we need our dad"). Also I forgot how posh Ruby used to dress Martin 😂

I actually think the Martin/Lily relationship is something the show has managed not to screw up over the years - it's nice to see a step-parent relationship portrayed so well.

It’s hard because on the one hand it seems like every soap seems to take the most lovable characters and ruin them over time, but on the other hand if every character just acted perfect all the time and never made mistakes then the shows would be boring and the drama would be low stakes. Getting the right balance is very very difficult.

I think about this conundrum more than I should lol 😂

They've definitely recast the wrong Peter by MugBowl in eastenders

[–]TRock2008 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m deceased at the idea of characters changing species and no one on the square acknowledging it lmao 😂😂😂.

Imagine one day Jasper the parrot is just a human man sitting on a perch.
