I love this show too, but since the olympics started its been off the air. I think this Sunday am there's a recap show on. I'm going to need it because things are getting murkey. I remember Bet's fiancee died, Steve's dad got caught and sent back to prison when he picked up Ashley adrift at sea.
Were any of you watching last year when Gail's husband was found to be a pre-meditated murderer? One of their best storylines.

Hello fellow Corrie fans!
As Fluff said Steve and Eileen are great. Back to the humour Corrie St. used to be famous for (Eastenders is too unremittingly grim for me). I find Dev quite dishy. Anyone else? Sunita's another favourite, or was. don't like the direction her character's taking. And the long-suffering Kevin. That guy should get stress-leave. The Sally-monster is too much! Good to hear there's other followers out there under pension age.

Gail's husband was a maniac.
There were some really good scenes with him.
The strange thing was, he was in a kids tv show years ago, called Grange Hill, where he played a really teacher.
It was so peculiar to see him play such a horrible character.

There is a show this Sunday

Duxxy posted a schedule above.
It'll be good to have that refresher after the break for the Olympics.
I'm looking forward to some new episodes too though.

Eastenders really is depressing.
There are some very good actors in the show, but it's just so gloomy.
Sunita has really annoyed me at times since she's been with Ciaran.
I think Dev can look good when he's clean shaven and his hair isn't too long at the back.
That new girlfriend of his is a bona fide nutter though.

I really haven't been watching much at all in the last year or so. I managed to catch Bette getting left at the altar. Well the house really.

What was up with that ?

**fluff** · 09-03-2004, 11:15 PM

That was one of those classic moments that so much comedy and drama is based on,i.e. someone got the wrong end of the stick.

Bet's fiance's son didn't want his dad to marry her and had a PI follow her to see if he could dig up any dirt.
She was walking with Jim and a police car went by, so she kissed him to hide his face from the cops.
The PI got photos of it and the son went to his dad with his supposed evidence that Bet had another man on the side.
Cecil, the fiance, confronted Bet about it and she wasn't going to tell him the truth, so as to protect Jim, but Liz stepped in and told Cecil why Bet was kissing Jim and who Jim actually was.
So the wedding was back on, then Cecil dropped down dead.

I have been watching for years... I cannot tell you why I find the show so appealing. Maybe it is because of the character development. I have noticed that the writers have tried to make the storylines a bit more dramatic over the past couple of years which has been good (Richard Hillman) as well as bad (Roy and Haley kidnapping storyline).

My alltime favourite has to be Sarah-Louse (can you tell...?

) but there are so many great characters...
