EastEnders

[smurfboy]

When they showed that programme about how they did the 'drowning' scene, it was obvious that the actor is very different from the character he plays - he was laughing and joking all the time.  By the way, what's happened to Steven?  Have I missed something?

Steven went to New Zealand to live with his real dad about four or five years back!

[goldencup]

I'm glad Lou understands me - obviously I meant Peter!

[smurfboy]

Well I wanted to be sure!

Does anyone else find it odd that Lucy looks about five years older than her 'twin'?

[loulou]

Girls mature faster than boys and often look older in age.

[smurfboy]

Hmmm... or maybe they just cast an older girl so they could do teenage romance storylines.

Are any of Ian's children actually his own? And how does such an annoying, pedantic little man manage to attract so many wives?

 

What is Phil's atrraction to women and why does he have permanent laryngitis?

 

Why didn't Michelle or Vicky come home for Pauline's funeral? 

 

AND, why when the vast majority of people are cremated in real life, do most funerals on TV feature a burial??

wow I didnt even notice they were twins, she sure does look older.

Steven is not Ians but the twins and Bobby are. I think the women are enticed by his chips.

They are after his money and he gargles alcohol and smokes 50 a day.

 

Why didn't Michelle or Vicky come home for Pauline's funeral? 

 

Maybe they knew she had left everything to Martin.

AND, why when the vast majority of people are cremated in real life, do most funerals on TV feature a burial??

To stop catholics getting upset ?

What money? Did you ever see him do a day's work?  How does the arches make any money when Minty and Gary change a wheel between them then have a break, change some oil, then shut up for the day?

 

Come to think of it, no one in the square ever does a full day's work and none of them do jobs that would earn them much more than the minimum wage. Perhaps that's why none of them own a washing machine.

[loulou]

All drug dealers.

[smurfboy]

And only Bradley actually leaves the Square to work - and how long before he jacks that in and starts running a market stall?

As for Ian, I think we're supposed to believe woman are attracted to his relaible, 'good dad' side. I wish they'd make him a bit less whiney sometimes.

I hadn't really thought about the burials before - I suppose it means in years to come we can have scenes with characters sitting mournfully at the grave of their lost loved one. A scene sitting with a pot of ash isn't quite the same!

[loulou]

Have you seen Ian get interviewed. He is just as whiney in real life.

[smurfboy]

And Wendy Richard is apparently just as miserable as Pauline.

[loulou]

A lot of the Eastenders cast have said they were frightened of Wendy Richard.

[oldspice]

She was a bit of a fish wife wasn't she!  I think some of these genuine old east end women really think they have inherited the matriarchal crown and set out to be queen bees.  There is a glimmer of it in Barabra Windsor too.
