Eastenders

Liked the Syed and Christian scenes, it felt like it was going nowhere last week but has started to move forward again. Great line from Christian as well today, 'where there's greenery there's queenery'!

Great stuff with the Beales, or should that be Operation Baby Beale? I adored the scenes with Ian and Oscar at the start and his Alan Sugar/Phil Mitchell guy was hilarious.

Great mixture of drama and comedy with them tonight, Jane's excitement at thinking Ian had agreed to adopt followed by her devastation at his refusal really got to me. As I keep saying though it's great to have them back in the thick of the action and long may it continue.

Great to see Billy FINALLY stand up for himself and tell Peggy where to go. It's about time he grew some backbone even if it means he's playing into Archie and Janine's hands.

I must say I'm finding myself taking Owen's side more and more throughout this storyline. Lucas is a great character but he is such a hypocrite! It's made for an interesting storyline though and it's giving Denise and Patricia more screen time which is always a good thing.

Overall an improvement on yesterday's episode would you agree?

The very last final shot of Archie was creepy and scary, can't wait for tomorrow!

I've been enjoying the stuff between him and Janine and they do make quite a sinister pair. Nice to see Janine have a heart and pull out of framing Billy, they've always been good friends and I could never really see her go through with it.

I wasn't expecting so much focus on bonfire night but it was really effective and created a good atmosphere for all the scenes and brought a lot of the storylines currently running together in one place.

Why was Bobby dressed up? Halloween was Saturday!

Really enjoyed the Ian and Jane scenes, I feel for both of them because when two people in a partnership want different things they can usually come to a compromise which makes both sides happy but in this case it's either adoption or no adoption and either way someone is going to be really unhappy.

Lucy was good tonight, liked all of her scenes which is surprising. I can see Jay and Lucy working really well together, they'd be far more interesting then Peter and Lauren anyway!

I don't know what to think about the the kiss between Jane and Masood, I'd hate an affair between but why have them share if a kiss if nothing is going to come of it?

Hopefully the kiss won't damage Jane and Masood's friendship and that it'll be brushed under the carpet. I don't think we'll be seeing an affair any time soon?

What do you think folks?

I enjoyed the Masood and Jane scenes at the start of the episode; it seems that everyone understands Jane's desires apart from Ian which is a shame considering he was all for it only two years ago. I do hope that, whatever the outcome, we have a new addition to the Beale clan by this time next year.

I know a few months down the line we'll probably see Ian and Jane reunite but it's going to be painful to watch them apart?

Does anyone think that it could be Jane having a delayed reaction to not being able to have a child after Stephen shot her? She didn't seem to grieve too much at the time, maybe the reality of the situation is just hitting her now? Either way it's very sad.

Peggy, Peggy, Peggy...when will you learn? I have to say though that I enjoyed the scenes between her and Archie and we got an interesting insight into Archie's personality and how Eric and his friends treated him.

I can't believe Peggy would do such a thing after all that's happened this year and knowing full-well the reaction she's likely to get from Ronnie, although for all we know this could be yet another double-cross in this complex plot?

The Lucas/Owen storyline is getting more interesting. I don't particularly like the way Lucas ordered Owen to leave as if he's some gangland boss but what makes it fascinating is that Lucas genuinely believes that this is God's will, which makes him incredibly dangerous, not only to Owen and others, but also to himself.

I know it would seem like an easy way out but I'm actually thinking this storyline could end with Lucas taking his own life as a way of rectifying his wrong-doings.

I wasn't expecting another good episode so soon but tonight was excellent, what do you think folks?

Adam Croasdell aka Dr Al Jenkins has taken on the role of James Bond for the latest 007 video game.

The new Bond game is expected to be released next year.

Started 3 minutes early, it's been happening a lot lately, bit annoying. Lots of detectives on tonight's show, Roxy, Lucy and Pat, might as well be renamed The Detectives!

The brief scenes with Denise gossiping with Bianca and Tanya about the latest book club offering, just a shame Jane isn't here to complete the group.

Sometimes you'll get nice little scenes like that which can make you forget about the drama happening elsewhere.

Disappointed to see the mega miserable Whitney back being her usual moody and ungrateful self, I cant stand her.

Enjoyed seeing Pat play Miss Marple and suss that Peggy and Archie were back together. Seemed to be a bit of a running theme with detective work tonight, as well has Pat we had Roxy's theory that another person had stayed the night, and Lucy trying to suss out who her attacker is.

Expect Harry Hill to have something to say about it come Saturday!

This is not confirmed but more likely though.

It looks as if EastEnders/Coronation Street clash on Thursday 26th November is not just a one off. Don't forget to add the BBC Three 8.30pm for a one hour special of 'Two Faces of Lucas' on the same night!

ITV have Coronation Street airing 5 nights at 7.30pm which means that it will air in EastEnders 7.30pm Tuesday (1st Dec) and Thursday (3rd Dec) slots.

Charlie Clements has quit the BBC soap after nearly four years.

The 22-year-old, who has played Bradley Branning since January 2006, is to leave in a 'sensational storyline' that will play out as part of the Walford serial's 25th anniversary celebrations in February.

Did Eastenders make a mistake last night?

On one scene....

When Sam was at the doorstep, she said 'yeah come on, a day off, you and me, lets go'.

Ricky accidently says 'I cant Dan' as in Daniella.

For anybody that still has the episode, can play it back and see.

The only way to clarify it is the subtitles that was displayed.

Sad to hear about Edward Woodward's death.

He was a wonderful actor, it's sad news. I really enjoyed the work he did on Eastenders.
