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

That was so emotional.

I'm glad Tanya saw sense and asked for Max to return to the room and I'm very glad the actress was able to film this episode. It would have been extremely unrealistic for Tanya not to be at Abi's bedside.

Jacqueline Jossa played a blinder too.

I’m missing someone dreadfully at the moment, someone who left this world too soon. Watching Eastenders tonight was heartbreaking viewing. I thought Max, Lauren, Tanya etc all played a blinder.

That was so sad and very real. Actually teared up.
Who has Abi's baby though? Felt like she was missing from the room

She is in NICU and still on a ventilator

So sad, but very well done. The wait for the silence after the machine was turned off was heartbreaking.

ah - when I didnt hear the long tone straight after they removed the ventilator I thought maybe that she was going to pull through and breath on her own. I guess that must be just what must happens though.

god , if you think it was upsetting for the viewers to watch, you just imagine how draining it must have felt for the actors and the production team - great acting

You could say Abi's gone to meet Stephen in tv heaven.

Anyway I wish actress who plays her the best in her future career. She was on that show since she was a kid so we've watched her grow up. That's what makes it harder to take I think.

wonder what she will pop up in the future as - always strange when they are killed off like this in a storyline, its always final .. cant come back into the square like mel has at the moment.

Do we know who's decision it was for her to leave the show? - was it her decision or the producers?

Jacqueline Jossa was lucky they didn’t kill her off too.

Has anyone mentioned who is going to take the baby ?

I assume Tanya will as would Lauren want Stephen's child

I was put out of the moment of Abi's death after breaking my heart laughing at Max trying it on with Tanya during the dieing process :pac:

Did Whitney think she was an XMen like Wolverine

Good man Martin. Teach the slag.

The cheek of Stacy

Stacey getting on her high horse made my blood boil. Fair play to the writers, that is the one of the most realistic arguments I've seen on TV.
The facial expressions were great - Martin at a loss as to her actions, Stacey's face as she decided to turn the argument on Martin.

The change in tactics from Stacey was realistic too - she knew she was losing. Going tangential when Martin looked at the pills. Even to a half-shot of Whitney opening the door to say she was taking the kids out - the camera didn't track her at all - it kept with Martin and Stacey.

Good performance from James Bye, but an excellent performance from Lacey Turner. It must be hard to play an unlikable side to your character.

Now if the other 99% of the show was as good...

The producers. The actress was shocked when she first read through scripts for the Christmas episode and beyond.

they werent very happy when a story came out in papers of her at a party breathing in laughing gas or something wasnt it and they suspended her from the show, maybe its connected to that time

Ah in fairness he was just trying to comfort her by holding her hand
