*spins wheel* sorry, best we can do is... uh. Unemployed depressed ex? *throws dart* With a shady illegal past. *flips open book of tropes at random* Who must find answers about a long lost kid.

Place your bets now. Spencer will be Bitter Ex at Vicki to make Ross look better, and then everyone gets involved in hunting down Jas/breaking Zoe out of prison for no reason.

No. It must be ALL THE SAME. He must gather his chosen cast like infinity stones. Regardless of acting, writing, or audience interest.

I like Alfie but he brought Zoe back and honestly maybe he needs to stay tf in Australia and think about what he did.

Someone check Bianca's old storage locker please 🙏

Let me guess... something almost changes things but then doesnt because plot progression would cause mass chaos to all the resurrected character intros.

#Eastenders. Ur a soap OPERA. you're supposed to DO SOAPY STUFF.

💡UNLESS Linda's not so canceled husband runs into thr church. Then carry on.

And the 40th year was FUN!!! like it made me go seek out old episodes! Youre right-- pulling roles in w/ clear payoffs for current characters. Now, here's Moon Man 1, & ZoeBot200 the amazing wailing mannequin! Oh that insane plotline? Its offscreen so Zoe can yell BUT MAH SUHN 80x more 💀

He did a plea deal at the last second bc his dad and Tommy maybe got through to him. It was HORRIBLY fumbled tbh and made no sense but yay now Vicki can feel bad bc SHE didnt show him a good female role model. 🤮🤮🤮 then they stopped talking about it like even this show runner realized he fumbled.

If only Chrissie would stop being a coward and body Zoe to save us all from this wretched plotline 😭😭

Nobody's car has fallen off a bridge lately. Just saying.

Honestly ive only watched for 3ish years. And this season is "'member this dude? 'Member that lady?" Then they show up & do NOTHING but dig up 20yo drama. Except Nigel whose alzheimers plot has been genuinely emotional.

Zoes lead balloon of an arc is only watchable if you laugh at it.

I keep asking that too. Like?? Shouldn't she at least hang out with them SOMETIMES?

They should've just recast Jay or had a proper "ope his car exploded" soap moment. Id rather watch Lexi and co in thr spotlight than Random Old Character 73 dusting off a 25yo plot

My face watching this week's #EastEnders

It's bloody awful

I miss them so much #Eastenders please bring back our lost queens instead of 20+ year old plots 😭😭

an elderly woman is wearing a t-rex costume and dancing . Alt: an elderly woman being chased by someone in an inflatable t-rex costume because Ben Wadey must reconstruct 2002 Eastenders at all costs

#Eastenders writers chasing down long-forgotten characters:

Same. I purposely limit my reddit searches. But at least today's revealed other people feel this season is like wandering through a hoarder house of plotlines with no progress or conclusions. 💀

I found a reddit thread from months ago discussing who the absolute worst #Eastenders show runner was but nothing on an ep who got better. Though it does seem one or two had awful seasons for BTS reasons?

Wait! Theres also the guy who ran one of the biggest Organic Farming scams in history!!
I forgot about him. 😃

Right?? Like did Jas find YOU and force YOU at gunpoint to run the terrorizing? You. The 40yo Queen of Prison were cowed by a 22yo with barely enough sense to survive Cindy Beale?
Fascinating.

Uhhhhh I think someone almost ran for governor of Missouri once? 😅

Otoh... We got a mega-church preachers kid who stole an ambulance while naked & made it 20 min outside town before crashing and running across the field yelling "GERONIMOOOOOO"

Why yes m3th WAS involved. Why do you ask?

If jas is THAT evil and dangerous... shouldn't we have seen it by now? So far shes a temperamental young adult w/poor impulse control & too many defense mechanisms. Its not like shes burying corpses in the Vic basement or orchestrating a stalking campaign by herself.

Pretty sure she did. So either she knew Jas did the thing (how though?) Or thought Jas did in both parents? Idk. Its not like that plot has ever had a lick of sense to it

Youre not wrong. Ive had Eastenders as appointment viewing for like 3 years and now im catching up on Corrie and YouTube instead.

EE needs to remember what pacing is. And how mysteries work. And characterization... the list goes on

At least Nuggets epilepsy is getting more on screen drama than Sam's breast cancer 💀

#Eastenders

Did they ever confirm her PRESENCE???
This plot happened so far off screen I know more about Phil's sock drawer than whatever Sam is doing.

#Eastenders

5️⃣ on a good day. Do NOT ask me to pretend that Zoe mess is fun to watch.

Partial view of the back of a 1770s blue a cream floral robe à la francaise. There is gathering around the neck and sleeves then the top of the deep watteau pleat centre back of the neckline

Back view of the 1770s robe à la francaise which shows how broad and voluminous the skirt and Watteau pleat is

There is no shying away from a bold pattern here, a #1770s silk robe à la française glowing in blue with the creamy floral pattern across the surface. It is easy to see why textile design was so highly prized with such an expanse of cloth. Whittaker Auctions, #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A mannequin posed in a generously proportioned gold coloured cloak of velvet with a panel of gold lamé around the top. It has a deep velvet collar

If I wore this I can’t help feeling I would have an overwhelming desire to spread my arms wide and run around making plane noises but childish fancies aside, what a stunner of a #1920s velvet and lamé cloak by Jeanne Lanvin. Collection unknown, anyone?? #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

I never noticed this either.
