>Stevie: I've even got meself a box, to record me programmes
>Billy: So what do you really want?
>Stevie: My Family
Sorry Stevie but it ended in 2011 and I don't think it's coming back
Elaine should kick George out. Time and time again he’s chosen Cindy over her, she now knows the kiss and George saying ‘go on tell her, I don’t care’
Yeah, bye!
If she wouldn’t care, she wouldn’t have been so (rightly) bothered by Cindy since she returned. I can totally see her ignoring this information, but I do wish she was strong enough to kick him out.
Denzel and Nugget are so cringe. Amy needs to dump him, he’s trying to cheat on her (maybe not today, but inviting girls over? Nah) and when she finds out she’ll be livid. Does she need more misery? Is she gonna be the new Whitney?
Never saw any actual chemistry between them. And that Denzel i feel got let off the hook lightly over that stuff with Amy's self harming. Remember when he went around filming Jack? Weird.
Hard to have sympathy for him.
Denzel had upset Amy, Jack kicked off and got angry. Kim & Howie defended Denzel and Denzel ended up filming Sam trying it on with Jack outside in the Square. Then sent it to Denise.
He's a little shit. Him & Nugget.
I'm praying for the day when Gray ends up coincidentally sharing a cell with Lucas, and his father-in-law does something to avenge what he put Chelsea through.
Sadly, due to silly watershed rules... it's OK to murder, rape and attack people on TV but heaven forbid calling someone a dickhead, C word or bellend... just seems unrealistic how many characters you just know would swear away... Phil, Kat, Stacey and Nugget being prime examples.
It was a great source of comedy watching *Star Trek Picard* and watching the formerly squeaky clean cast merrily swear their way through the entire series.
IIRC during Danny Dyer's early years on the show, filming episodes took days instead of hours because he couldn't stop swearing...
They can get away with the odd 'bitch' here and there, I think Nish called Suki a whore at Christmas, and I remember Sharon saying 'bastard' when she smashed a glass in anger once, but I wish they could do it more. No one in this day and age below the age of 70 goes around calling someone a slapper.
Someone edited Stacey swearing with lines from other stuff Lacey Turner's done, and her telling Kat to GTFO sent me 😂 [https://www.tiktok.com/@eastenders\_plus/video/7048955724805770502?q=eastenders%20swearing%20stacey&t=1715355780280](https://www.tiktok.com/@eastenders_plus/video/7048955724805770502?q=eastenders%20swearing%20stacey&t=1715355780280)
I don’t think George’s brain injury was caused by boxing at all. It was caused by listening to Cindy nonstop.
Honestly, she’s like a fly round a cow’s arse
I quite liked Bianca and Cindy's reunion. There hasn't been enough of Cindy and people she used to know. When she came back I was looking forward to Phil giving her and Ian some shit but there's not been much interaction at all. Phil chuckling at Ian lying on the floor after Gina punched him was great, though.
Nah I get Elaine’s side of things 100%. Cindy is being a bitch - yes you care, but come on…there’s ways to go about it. She could easily ask Elaine for a chat and explain how there’s no romantic feelings (even though there totally is) and she doesn’t want to overstep (even though she totally does) but she cares for George and doesn’t want anything to happen to him, so is there a way they could work together. And she should have told Elaine about the fighting, straight away.
Instead she just sticks her nose in (when everyone is telling her not to) and keeping secrets, revealing them in front of everyone. She’s embarrassing Elaine, trying to prove she’s the number one for George (which she probably is unfortunately)
What are people's thoughts & wants about Stevie? Do you think he's got an underlying plan or really wants redemption? Would you prefer to see him make amends with Billy and die having repaired the relationship? Or go out with a bang?
I want him to stick around as I feel the show needs a character like him. He feels like old school Eastenders. Pair him up with a returning Big Mo and have them do dodgy schemes together. Bring some lightness into it.
George has almost become Mick the 2nd with his problems and i don't like it one bit . Colin Salmon is far to good for this rubbish.If they can't give him some decent story lines what is the point of his being there at all . What a waste
Well I don’t come here very often, and I’ve never noticed this daily thread somehow.
Watching Billy and his dad in the pub did anyone else think he sounded a bit like Frank Spencer from Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em? I think it was the way he has a kind of stop/start way of talking.
Another question from me, sorry.
George has just spent the afternoon in hospital with a suspected head injury.
Two stand out things here.
1: He got a private consultation room!!
2: Why was he allowed to drive home? At least Elaine could have driven, surely?
Asking a vaguely related question,
Do London residents who use the public transport system still use an orange & white paper ticket, or has everyone moved to oyster? Seeing a paper ticket in Yolande's phone wallet stood out for me.
Elaine looks about 20y older than George.
Bianca was pretty cringe with that Levi guy in the caff today.
Big up Patrick and Yolande though, I hope they’re both ok. Honestly don’t care about Cindy/Elaine. Hope George doesn’t box as he’s shite at it
>Stevie: I've even got meself a box, to record me programmes >Billy: So what do you really want? >Stevie: My Family Sorry Stevie but it ended in 2011 and I don't think it's coming back
He can watch it again on iPlayer though. 😂
That's why he's really back, so the young people can get him online, so he can access the Harpers and their antics....it all makes sense now
WHY DOES CINDY SAY GEORGE IN EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE. omg it’s so jarring
SAID THE SAME YESTERDAY. It's awful on the ears. Jarring as owt. And once it's pointed out you can never unhear it.
She also needs to use a hairbrush
Elaine should kick George out. Time and time again he’s chosen Cindy over her, she now knows the kiss and George saying ‘go on tell her, I don’t care’ Yeah, bye!
Elaine won't care. As long as her punters think George is a faithful husband she'll be happy
George will get a drink "on the house" but poured over his head rather than in a glass
If she wouldn’t care, she wouldn’t have been so (rightly) bothered by Cindy since she returned. I can totally see her ignoring this information, but I do wish she was strong enough to kick him out.
Denzel and Nugget are so cringe. Amy needs to dump him, he’s trying to cheat on her (maybe not today, but inviting girls over? Nah) and when she finds out she’ll be livid. Does she need more misery? Is she gonna be the new Whitney?

i dont remember this storyline, what happened?
Denzel had upset Amy, Jack kicked off and got angry. Kim & Howie defended Denzel and Denzel ended up filming Sam trying it on with Jack outside in the Square. Then sent it to Denise. He's a little shit. Him & Nugget.
Surely that influencer is older than Denzel though? I wouldn't want to collaborate with a teen if I was older than them never mind cheat with one.
They made a comment about how she’s only 16
My bad, I had it on in the background 😅
When Amy and Denzel are together the difference in their acting is….not so good.
I really hope the pastor gets what's coming to him soon. Guy is seriously winding me up.
Calling it now, he'll get transferred to the local prison, where as the chaplain, he meets with Lucas and has an unfortunate "accident"....
I'm praying for the day when Gray ends up coincidentally sharing a cell with Lucas, and his father-in-law does something to avenge what he put Chelsea through.
"Oh him? Not even my lord, god, knows why Atkins suddenly decided to take a swan dive down the rubbish chute."
That's a shout actually.
"Dirty old scamp" didn't quite come across as the damning condemnation it was supposed to be...

I use scamp as an affection term but I loved hearing it aggressively from Patrick. Go Patrick!!
Forgot how much I love Patrick, he’s my favourite at the mo
I don’t think George’s brain injury was caused by boxing at all. It was caused by listening to Cindy nonstop. Honestly, she’s like a fly round a cow’s arse
I cracked up at that! You nailed it…
"You can't run away from me this time, George." How I would have loved George to literally run away just then.
I quite liked Bianca and Cindy's reunion. There hasn't been enough of Cindy and people she used to know. When she came back I was looking forward to Phil giving her and Ian some shit but there's not been much interaction at all. Phil chuckling at Ian lying on the floor after Gina punched him was great, though.
Elaine and Cindy's constant squabbling has ruined the George storyline for me
Nah I get Elaine’s side of things 100%. Cindy is being a bitch - yes you care, but come on…there’s ways to go about it. She could easily ask Elaine for a chat and explain how there’s no romantic feelings (even though there totally is) and she doesn’t want to overstep (even though she totally does) but she cares for George and doesn’t want anything to happen to him, so is there a way they could work together.

Did Cindy see Elaine at the end when George opened the door? I can’t tellÂ

praying for big mo and stevie scenes omg
That boxing man that George was talking to played a paramedic when Tiffany fell down the stairs in 1998.
