I gave up watching Eastenders some years back (you should try it fox - you sleep better at night and have more energy in the day).


However, when I've occasionally caught a bit by accident, it seems to be a scene I've seen before, with the same characters and dialogue. Or in fact, featuring characters who I thought had left - or in some cases - I thought were dead.


Has anyone checked that the BBC haven't just stopped making new episodes - and are instead simply showing all of it in reverse order?

I too haven't watched it with any regularity for a long long time, and hadn't seen an episode for a good couple of years. However, I watched it on Christmas night and was quite shocked that I knew so many characters.


Phil, Sharon, Ian, Kathy (didn't she die?!?!?), Kat and Stacy Slater... There were new people aswell, but as *bob* says they just seemed to fill gaps left by former characters. There has always been the token asian family for example. A real reflection of the east end would feature a hell of a lot more asian families! And some eastern europeans.

There was this great sketch, probably on Spitting Imagem of Eastenders competing with Corrie over ridiculous plots. It was finally trumped by Brookie saying 'we've done all of that' with a plot that involved nuclear war (or some other nonsense).


For years Brookie was the only decent soap but even that got silly before it was axed.


Archers for me nowadays.

She plays Stacey Slater very well. I caught her in a bit of her in that army thing, were she also played Slacey Slater.


Has she been Stacey Slater in any other dramas which I've missed out on?

Perhaps I'm missing some sort of sarcasm here. *bob*


But in 'that army thing' Our Girl ,Lacey Turner played Molly Dawes...


Foxy

Didn't Stacey Turner - the gutsy yet troubled working class gal trying to get out of a rut of life - run away from the square to join the army, where she reinvented herself as Lacey Slater, a gutsy but troubled working class gal trying to get out of a rut in life?


Am I thinking of the same thing? Nick Cotton plays the sergeant major.. that one?

    • They also collect near Bond Street station near Oxford Circus. Always same guys.
    • Paul's on lordship lane is a good place for garden plants.  He is based near the old harvester on the opposite side of the road he offers good advice on which plants will grow in different positions etc.  
    • I've read this thread and made notes! So many useful tips! Would anyone have a recommendation for  a place that sells good quality topsoil that would also be able to drop from a tipper? 10 cubic meters minimum. Thanks in advance and any further advice on garden centres with good selection of shrubs/climbers would be welcome, I plan to visit them all. Garden is fully dug up with drainage just put in. 
    • I reccomend Crab Salad-I used to have my hair cut by the owner when he was at Blue tit in Peckham...I moved with him to Cs when he opened it. I've had other stylists there when he was'nt available on the date I could make and they're all excellent. Its a nice vibe too-just very relaxed not too 'hairdressery' (If you know what I mean) and I've reccomended it to neighbours and colleages who've all been very happy. Its not the cheapest but nor is it super pricey and they use good products too.
