Oh my God! Thus spake Tracey and she's a right beatch to boot :D Loved how the general point of her mini-rant was a sort of parody/satire of the main criticism/perception of the show 'I stay out of the way because this whole place is cursed...nobody will ever be happy'. Brilliant.

Anybody else bothered Clare has gone?

Yeah I found Tracey's little rant quite amusing. I always wonder about part time characters like her and what they do for the rest of the time. For example, they are quite often in the background so I suppose they'd need to be available for filming quite a lot. Do you think they have other jobs too?

I think they must have second jobs. I've never really given them much consideration. Winston and the woman who sells flowers on the market are another two who spring to mind. It was surprising for her to get so much dialogue though. I don't recall her saying that much before.

I found the scenes with Phil and Ben quite scary, maybe because they were realistic? Don't know, but it was quite horrible:confused:
It was quite distressing to watch and a bit hypocritical from Phil's perspective, considering he once said he wouldn't hurt Ben in the aftermath of Stella's abuse.

Surreal is one way of putting it. I had a fit when Tracey got substantial dialogue last week. I thought this was the beginning of the long-sought Tracey storyline, but meh.

Some people hated Tracey getting so much dialogue. They resented a break with tradition whilst others thought she was used to represent a negative view of Eastenders which has been promulgated for years and that her comments were a direct challenge from the new writers and producers to the hardcore fans. I thought it was a great use of parody, something quite difficult to achieve in soaps.

It's just becoming violent and predictable. I mean who couldn't have guessed Sean wouldn't run away from Roxie JUST before the wedding...

...not everybody's obsessed with Eastenders.

This thread has a generic title. The only reason Eastenders is talked about more is because, ostensibly, other soaps generate little other discussion within this thread.

Poor Wellard :( He's been around for a very long time. He shall be missed. It's been a very emotional week!

I made the mistake of watching that episode before going out! I had just got dressed, done all my make up and sat down to watch the last 5 mins before leaving the house! Sobbed my actual eyes out and had to do my make up all over again!! :oops:

A true romantic, can't resist a love story!

I was downstairs yesterday and got made to watch it, while having a lovely glass of wine. Poor Christian needs a proper man! Can't say it's going to make me watch it, Ben's Lady Gaga routine was cringeworthy though.

i used to watch Dallas when i was younger,

i always wanted to be like JR having a big office on the top of my own skyscraper, with a bookcase that opened out into a bar, having a sexy little secretary work in the office ;) , then going out making big deals & earning big bucks in the process :D
