At least they got 4 years to find another Elliot.

I said Max's secret was a wife. It was so bloody obvious! Boring ep and has Max's wife had collagen in her lips?

What a pile of crap!!
And who didn't know that Mux's 'secret' would somehow involve getting his legover some tart?
And inaccurate - registrars don't just turn up your house, they can only perform marriages in official, licenced places, and they also want to see all divorce documents etc long before agreeing to perform the ceremony. Even if Kirsty eventually signed the papers at a later date, and he'd still managed to keep it all a secret - his 'marriage' to Tanya would still have been bigamous, as he wasn't free when they got married.

So glad Derek is dead, that at least was enjoyable Shame nobody ran him over, just to make sure he was dead. One of the most repulsive characters they've had in a long time - bye bye slimeball.

[RitaLittlewood]

They really aren't good at keeping people guessing unless it's the illiterate kids on their FB page and blog. We all knew Derek was shagging Clyde by the looks they'd give each other. We all knew Mux was married because he was desperate to delay marrying Tanya and he only does women, not drugs or anything. Yet Jake said he had signed a secrecy clause! Why bother???

Facts are nothing in soapland. Doubt it was a real registrar. He'd have probably persuaded her to do it again after some 'technicality' was discovered.

Yes he's dead and rigor mortis hit fast! But who were the blokes after him?

Can we please have a Xmas ep which DOESN'T revolve around the ruddy Brannings??

How the hell did that get top spot yesterday?

Her lips look horrible. If they've been treated with anything, it looks lopsided.
Why people want to do that to themselves is beyond me, and it's risky. Haven't they ever heard of Leslie Ash? Or Pete Burns?

[RitaLittlewood]

Ah so his wife is Pete Burns! Well Mux did say he's been drinking.

Patsy

[RitaLittlewood]

Can we have some new ideas and interesting characters for 2013 please?

Hear hear.
What's the betting that Derek is replaced by another heavy, and Tanya will continue to forgive Max's indiscretions and Baldy will get back with Sharon etc. etc etc. like we haven't seen it ad nauseum?

This show needs some serious shaking up!

[RitaLittlewood]

Tanya's meant to be leaving on a break soon so perhaps not. But that ending last night with Baldy telling Phil that Sharon will be his was just cringing. And you just know Slut and Oafie will get back together. Tommy will be at death's door I expect and they'll reunite. Yawn!

Patsy

[RitaLittlewood]

Well now we have Ava's sprog. I thought she had none. Oh well.

Patsy

[RitaLittlewood]

Dot's back - yay!!!! But very surprised it was just a hug for Sharon like Bianca's sprogs. Hello? Not seen her for yonks! The Brannings are in meltdown.

Patsy

[pearly queen]

Dot's looking really old these days. And not up to being head of that horrible household - she only got married to Jim, dunno why she'd want to take responsibility for that load of drunken shagging loonies.
I didn't like old Fat Lip Kirsty at first, but I can see her potential for rocking the Branning boat even more, it could be entertaining. If she really IS the legally wedded wife, Tanya doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Felt a bit sorry for Grim - it's not often that she does real emotion, it's usually just comedy stuff.
WTF is this Ayesha all about? Her irritating 'Aunti Ji' is driving me mad!

[RitaLittlewood]

It was like June forgot how to play her as well. I'd like a real secret like Mux is halfway through a sex change to become Maxine. Shagging or marrying someone else is boring.

Grim has driven Ray away by being needy and wanting marriage.

Ayesha is pointless.

Patsy

[RitaLittlewood]

Mux is going to get a reputation for looking like WC Fields if his nose gets any more red! Mrs Boring Or Mrs Trout Pout Tramp? What a dilemma! Now he appears to have none but they can't let Mux be celibate, can they?

Patsy

[pearly queen]

I'm sick of him - his entire character is based around his knob. He isn't good looking or especially charming. He homes in on emotionally damaged and needy females, ie Stacey, Kirsty etc and exploits them, then we're supposed to believe that he's SO good in the sack that Tanya just has him back again and again. Jake Wood is a fantastic actor - but he's had little to do except lie about his affairs.

[RitaLittlewood]

I think it's high time Max started living the lonely life. Kids hate him, women laugh at him when he tries to pull them.

I have never ever seen the attraction. What has he got going for him? He so surly and gruff, but in a stroppy sarcastic way, not in a manly way. Who was it who referred to him resembling a cheesy wotsit?
I can understand everyone swooning over Jack - he is fit, charming and considerate. Not to mention fertile!! He must have his own filing cabinet in the CSA office.

Fed up with the Masoods and their bickering - and I still don't know what that northern bird is doing staying with them. She calls everyone Auntie-Ji or Uncle-Ji. So is she related? Have her folks just slung her into the eternal hellfire of the East End of London in the hope that Zee will find her a decent husband? Ha!

[RitaLittlewood]

Can't remember but he is. Maybe that's the appeal!

Ayesha was sent there to meet her bloke but I have a feeling Masood will want to shag her, leading to Zainab's exit.

Patsy

[RitaLittlewood]

Yawn! I'm going away in March for a month and the way things are going, I'm not going to miss ANYTHING.

Patsy

[pearly queen]

It's at an all-time low.
I haven't watched fully for ages now, it's just background noise.
It's been exceptionally boring recently, and there's nothing decent on the horizon. Pretty much time to give up I'd say, which is a shame since I've invested a lot of time and attention on this programme down the years, and now it's crap

[RitaLittlewood]

I forgot it was on tonight.

Patsy

[RitaLittlewood]

Caught it on BBC3 and wish I had forgotten again.

Patsy

[pearly queen]

I am nostalgic for the days of Mary the Punk and Dr Legg. Even the awful Ali and the wooden Pete Beale. The show had a certain quality about it that is long gone, and unlikely to be recaptured.

Plus I still haven't forgiven them for killing off Bradley

[CG Wendy]

I agree 100% PQ. I haven`t watched EE in months, and I can`t say I`ve missed it. I had 2 weeks worth to watch, and then I thought 'sod it' and deleted them. The last episode I watched was Christian and Syeds stag nights.
If the day ever comes when it ceases to be 'the Branning Show' I may just start watching again.

[RitaLittlewood]

It's gone from the Mitchell Show to Branning Show. Sick of Sharon. Letitia Dean's constant eye widening makes me want to smack her one. I don't remember her doing that in the past. Or is it something to do with Botox? "I can make my face move honest!" So the point of her coming back is......................??

The characters are crap. All these kids no one except kids care about. Do they do anything? No just shag or get pissed. Then there's the recasting when they get rid of those who were crap but better than their replacements by miles! Melissa Suffield excepted. She was brilliant as Lucy.

EE lost its way when Diederick Santer left. It lost its way before he took over but he made it compulsive viewing. Too many boring repetitive storylines like "Who Shagged Slut?" Who gives a toss??? She's a slapper who always does it. No shock like if it had been "Who Shagged Dot?"
