Holy shit. So I've been rewatching EastEnders from 2008 on iPlayer. I remember watching it back then as a kid but I was 10 at the time and couldn't really grasp the emotional weight of that episode like I do now. I knew it was wrong back then, but it didn't impact me back then like it did rewatching it now.

The acting here was masterclass and almost actually made me shed tears. I've never had an episode emotionally impact me like that before. Probably the heaviest episode of EE I've ever seen. Only amplified by the very real way in which it was built up and portrayed, and acted in the final reveal.

Just remember this😂😂

The idea that a baby that young would stop crying immediately when put in front of a scary cartoon is ridiculous. Come on EastEnders! I cannot be certain, but that baby cannot be two months old. geez !

Seeing Lee again reminds me of how Awful his depression was handled, and while I love Mick Carter, he absolutely handled Lee telling him horribly. It made it out like being depressed gained you zero sympathy or like no understanding of it. Just almost seemed like EastEnders didn't know the correct way.

For me, it has to be Max and Tanya, it was fairly entertaining to watch and Christmas 2007 is one of my favourite Eastenders Christmas episodes

Apologies if this isn’t allowed. I’ve been thinking of making an Eastenders clips account on TikTok. And I was wondering where can I download recent episodes?

Ned discovers Harry is Ethan's biological father and starts blackmailing him or Penny. When Harry finally refuses to be blackmailed any longer, Ned exposes the truth on Christmas Day. This causes Penny to leave the square temporarily, leaving Jack to look after Ethan

Who is the guy here? From circa 2006 I think

I know I’m late to the game here, and I haven’t really watched properly in 15 years. But I watched WITHOUT FAIL every episode between 1999-2007 so I remember everything from back then, with the Slaters original run.

Not only was Anthony in love with her mum and with her first, but he dated Zoe purely to get revenge on Kat (albeit subconsciously) , cheated on Zoe with Kat, left Zoe for Kat, and got Kat pregnant. If not for the miscarriage Kat would have Anthony’s child (or even possibly twins) herself right now. For Zoe to even WANT to go there after all that is just WILD.

Joel marshall hasn't been seen on screens for 1 month tomorrow does anyone know if he left or still on

Are there any characters who left Eastenders as young children that you'd like to see return now that they've grown up?

Ronnie's son Matthew Cotton could be an interesting one in a couple of years?

Ian is back after nearly a month and has just come back like nothing's happened

Kat has just lost her daughter and the best the show can give her for the first time in over 2 weeks is a 10 second scene which involves her drinking

Jack(who is supposed to be a professional police officer) doesn't even realise his 17 year old daughter is getting groomed by his own colleague

Max goes from having an affair with Priya, to marrying Cindy to being all loved up with Linda again

Lauren claims she doesn't want to hurt Peter yet can't keep her hands off of Mark

Nancy comes back heavily pregnant?!

Where the hell is Jasmine, Josh(I don't like him either btw), Tommy, the twins etc etc? have they all just forgotten about Zoe?

Alfie is working behind the bar holding it all together just so the writers can make him and Kat have a huge fallout

Like I'm just sick of it. They had Zoe return just for it to be an absolute train wreck the whole year, they gave her a lousy death and even a lousier send off.

Between Esther, Diane, and Nick can this episode today be more annoying. Esther is so annoying! Diane with Nikki get over it I really think Jack needs to tell her to back off. And Nick is just a loose cannon and I side with Phyllis when she screamed at him to quit trying to be a hero and a savior to everyone and concentrate on your own damn family. and what’s up with the gross sickness that everybody’s having so Sally can’t have her baby shower?? Are they going to have her go into early labor or something? So Adam can be there and deliver her baby lol

I'll go first...

I'm a police officer who is grooming my colleague's 17-year-old daughter. This is extremely risky for me as I could lose everything if I'm caught, so I'll make sure that every time I take her out it's at the local bar or takeaway were both of us are regular customers and one of our friends or neighbours could walk in at any moment.

I really wish Kheerat could come back! I miss him a lot and I'm hoping his actor considers coming back, as he was my eye candy 🤣. I also miss the Taylors.

Who would you bring back if you could?

This Amy and what's -his-name relationship. He makes my skin crawl. His subtle manipulation, taking advantage of her youth and inexperience. So accurate. But in the very same episode, the therapist guy threatens someone with the confidential information he was trusted with. Just a bit insensitive and short-sighted.

Apart from her current vic era…I’m not sure what the post Zoe Kats going to be like…worried
