Eastenders [News, Spoilers and Discussion - from Jan 2018]

Can't see any way they could bring him back as things are at the present time but I thought the writers might have some kind of storyline to write him out of it.

Unless I missed it I haven't heard him mentioned at all on the show since he left.

It was mentioned that Jay was away looking after his ill, I think, grandfather.

Teddy is being written out of the show.

I haven't watched Eastenders in ages, but I'm watching a little bit this evening and I see Anthony Trueman. 😕⁉️

I thought he died maybe 15 or 20 years ago. Is this another character back from the dead somehow? What next, Paul Trueman back from the dead as well?

Edit: I see on Wikipedia that Anthony didn't die, I was sure he was dead. I know Paul is definitely dead.

Nicola and Barn with matching haircuts 😂

I knew it. I was half right anyway hahaha

I hate them both . in fact i dont think much to this new producer, bringing back Zoe who is like a wet flannel, the stupid oscar who is not funny he is an overacting oaf, the doctor who keeps slipping into his thespian on stage actor voice - and i thought elaine was leaving because she was not getting any good storylines… well she is still there - I think there was still some mileage in Teddy if they gave him some good storylines

as Ian rightly called him 'the village idiot' !

there is something up with me , I am not giving 2 shites about jean and Nigel at the moment … if anything their characters at the moment are really getting on my teats - of course i would feel different if my own family or close friend(s) had the affliction of Depression and Dementia … but with these 2 on EE I am absolutely fed up with them and watching them on the soap and wouldnt feel 1 iota of sorry'ness if both of them departed the soap next week (in one way or another) … in fact I would be glad!

I agree Nigel plays the part brilliantly and accurately. I too have personal experience of this and Eastenders have nailed this. I can also relate to the issues Julie and Phil are facing. Well done eastenders - they've done a good job on this storyline.

i have not experienced dementia first hand and nor do i ever want to experience it with myself or loved ones , but would Nigel really remember as much as he does in EE and names and everything? because sometimes he has a really pin sharp memory in it remembering things really clearly , other times he is seeing people who are not there or recognising people or things , but like remembering producers names of films , and he has had this dementia for over a year now which is when he arrived back on the square. is it really this slow moving to the stage where he is now? I though when it happens it takes hold fast with people?

It seems Jasmine is Zoe's daughter. Zoe does not yet know.

Very well analysed..I describe it as the brain being like a mobile phone , the battery is dying with no way of recharging it.
