Eastenders catch-up needed

I’m the OP of the EastEnders on Britbox US thread.

I’ve been behind in my real-time viewing and now the episodes from October have been removed from Britbox. I’m lost.

Can my fellow EE fans please catch me up?

I left off where it was revealed that Terry is actually Tom Cotton looking to swindle Sonia. Keegan had already cheated on Tiffany with Dottie. Ruby was arrested based on Jean’s false accusation. Mick and Linda left Waldorf to stay with Linda’s mother.

Please help me, DLers. You are my only hope.

TIA!

This is slightly off topic, and I'm not trying to hijack your thread, OP. I just wanted to mention an oddity from my past. I was a dedicated Corrie (Coronation Street) fan for several years. Vancouver, BC had a channel that would broadcast an episode Mon - Fri five months or so behind schedule. On Sunday they would broadcast the previous week's episodes in an omnibus edition.

The odd thing is that I was enamoured of the show. Then, after watching the episode where Lloyd chairs quiz night at The Rovers, & Norris brought his brother, of whom he was jealous, I couldn't watch any more episodes. It's like the asparagus stalk broke. That's all I had to say.

Wh. show is more popular in the UK, EE or Corrie?

EE, I’m pretty sure.

I must really be behind. I don't know who any of those people are. In the episodes I'm watching, Pauline just returned from an extended visit with her brother Kenny in Australia, only to learn that Arthur was fucking Mrs. Hewitt while she was away. Pauline lashed out at Kathy for keeping it a secret from her. Those were the highlights of recent episodes.

R2 Corrie is more popular than EE in the UK; so is Emmerdale.

In fact, more recently, there have been weeks when one or even two episodes of EE don't make it into the Top 50 shows of the week.

For the last reported week of consolidated ratings (December 6-12) -- Six episodes of Corrie averaged 5.18 million viewers. Six episodes of Emmerdale averaged 4.65 million viewers. EE's average for two episodes came in at 3.54 million viewers, but the average for the week would be lower, since two of the episodes didn't make it into the Top 50 report, which means both of those episodes were something at or below 3.26 million, since that was the cut-off number for No. 50 that week.

Consolidated ratings include the sum of: Live Broadcast + Viewing on Same Day As Live + Time-Shifted.

It's really difficult to give a catch-up on several months of a soap - it would be easier if you would ask specific questions.

Broadly, in terms of the major storylines over the past few months there has been Gray finally being rumbled as a serial killer, and being arrested. Bernie selling her baby to Stuart and Rainie but Stuart hates the baby and wants to give him back, Linda was still boozing but is now trying to get sober and win Mick back from Janine, Ben and Callum were victims of a homophobic attack so Ben went vigilante and starting beating up random straights including his own nephew Peter, and then he got flirty with Lewis the Irish barman at Kathy's gay bar and went back to his flat for sex but had second thoughts when Callum sent him a photo of him and his daughter but Lewis pinned him down and fucked him anyway - portrayed as rape basically but Callum found out and assumed Ben had just cheated on him so dumped his sorry ass.

Sam Mitchell came back into it and is doing Phil's dirty work for him while he's behind bars, she's blackmailed Denise into stumping up the money Phil gave her so they can buy the club. Jean went absolutely off the rails with her bi polar and tried to drown herself in the sea, she was sectioned but Stacey took her out of the mental hospital and was looking after her at home but Jean thought she was trying to kill her so would only let Lily look after her, who she told had bi polar too so Lily started taking Lithium and poisoned herself with it but was fine, Jean pushed Stacey and she cut herself on some broken bottles and then she passed out in the street. That's all I know so far as I'm not fully up to date myself (have a couple of weeks to catch up on) - apparently Charles and Camilla appear at some point.

Isaac went off to Trinidad to look after Sheree who'd allegedly had a heart attack and Lola found out he was dating someone else via social media.

[quote] In an email, a BBC spokeswoman wrote: “The ‘EastEnders’ episodes that have been carried by just a few public television stations in the U.S. are over 10 years behind current episodes playing out in the U.K., and it is no longer economically viable to provide episodes at this broadcast cadence. We are exploring new distribution models for the U.S. market. We are aware this is disappointing news for fans.”

Stuart was irritating from the moment he showed up. He's gone through so many character changes, bad guy, good guy, bad guy again recently (I mean he hates his baby son and might injure him) that he's unbelievable and unrelatable. Good riddance. I guess his obnoxious grandmother goes too.

Peter had no real story line, he is only eye candy. I wouldn't mind him having a little bicurious action with Jay before he lives. Jay is my new fascination on Eastenders. He needs to become pan and polyandrous to truly bring EE into the 2020s. Come out for Pride month Jay!

Stuart should have been written out after six months but the actor was apparently a huge favorite with the cast and crew so the writers twisted his stories into a pretzel to keep him there.

Does Linda inherit the Vick? She's partial owner, right? That's probably a mistake. Linda's a weak and not very sympathetic character and the Vick traditionally has been one of centers or core of Eastenders. It has not been that way lately. They need to restore that. Perhaps younger owners would better, a real passing on Eastenders to the next generation.

Wendy Richard was fired because she was an unbearable cunt to the production staff as well as the writing team. I do think she had a right to feel that Pauline should remain unmarried and without a man after Arthur died. Instead they saddled her with Jeff (Melanie’s dad) and wasn’t there an episode or two where the Slater dad showed an interest? And then they married her off to Joe Macer, who was quite a wimp (until he grew some balls and thumped her with a frying pan). She would probably been OK with Pauline marrying her gay friend Derek as a sort of companion. Anyway Richard treated the higher ups like shit and they finally retaliated by making Pauline a bitter and vindictive old bitch before killing her off.

Sharon is still going strong, though, and keeps me tuning in.

Pauline was so mean to Kathy in the episode I just watched on my local PBS station. She laced into Kathy for knowing about Arthur's affair with Mrs. Hewitt and not telling her. She read Kathy to filth, and Kathy just stood there like a doormat at took it. Pauline can be such a monster. I do hope she forgives Arthur, since Arthur and Pauline are my favorite couple. How long does Mark's wife Ruth last? I can't understand a word the actress, Caroline Patterson, says, and she's such a pill.

How ridiculous yet predicable they set Kat up as the new boss of Phil's empire just to give the actress something to do. The writers really don't give Sharon enough to do, no way would she be spoken to like that "Why is it everyone around you ends up dead or vanishing into thin air?" Sharon should have ripped her head off.

The Phil/Kat storyline needs to end.

[quote] For some unknown reason, the BBC, they apparently own the rights to US distribution, pulled the plug months ago.

The BBC produces the show, so of course, they own the rights for distribution ... anywhere. And only about three or four PBS affiliates still ran these old episodes. That's why they pulled the plug.

[quote] In an email, a BBC spokeswoman wrote: “The ‘EastEnders’ episodes that have been carried by just a few public television stations in the U.S. are over 10 years behind current episodes playing out in the U.K., and it is no longer economically viable to provide episodes at this broadcast cadence. We are exploring new distribution models for the U.S. market. We are aware this is disappointing news for fans.”

My feeling is they MIGHT be telling the truth and could be exploring putting the episodes from around the time they cut you off on Britbox or somewhere else for streaming. .. During the production lockdown due to the pandemic, the BBC tried to satisfy current UK viewers by putting what they called "Eastenders 2008" on their streaming service. They'd put up four episodes per week. This initial year was then followed with "Eastenders 2009," and they just began with "Eastenders 2010." So with this effort, they now have over two years of the old show already formatted and ready-to-go for streaming. Why they haven't put these years on Britbox would be the question, since it pretty much matches up with the era where they cut U.S. viewers off who were still watching on PBS.

I an watching Eastenders from the start, am now up to Jan 1988. Much better than today. This has got to be one of the low points. There are no "iconic" actors. The relationships are shallow and unbelievable. It occured to me that people had more depth and better deeper relationships in the past. So today's EE simply represents the present because that's all the writers know.

IIRC, when Eastenders was first shown on PBS, in order to catch up with the UK showings, PBS aired it either every night or a few nights a week for months. It was so long ago, I can barely remember.

by Anonymousreply 142July 2, 2022 12:25 AM

I don't think broadcasting EE was ever a national thing for PBS. As I recall, only about 25 (out of 300+) affiliates carried EE at some point, and each of them put it on when and how they wanted. It never seemed uniform. When in the L.A. area, I don't remember KCET ever airing it. Meanwhile, the KOCE affiliate tired various schedules with the show. They even cancelled it once, then brought it back, They finally ran four episodes like an omnibus on Sunday afternoon. I remember some ex-pats in the area used to go to a British pub-type restaurant and watch it there on a big screen TV in a banquet room. That PBS affiliate gave it up many years ago.

I think EE was also on BBC America for awhile, but was cancelled due to low viewership. DISH satellite TV also tried to air EE in the U.S. as a special PPV selection. Again, it was given up due to low subscriber interest.

Of course she would call his brother! Then Kat takes Phil back even though she rejected him when he said the same things maybe 12 hours previously. I guess they may go for a quad with Alfie/Sharon working together to break up P/K and then catching feelings but honestly the characters are easily 20 years too old for a wacky scheme like that.

They haven't confirmed R256 but it would make sense to leave it open. I haven't watched it in years but he was once very popular with viewers and a return storyline in the future might be a ratings grabber when their ratings fall in the shitter yet again.

A few years ago they drowned Ronnie and Roxy and this was widely seen as a big mistake, as they too were very popular and the deaths felt gratuitous.

I believe Mick will be mistaken for a Syrian refugee whose mastery of Estuary English and lack of Arabic will be explained away by the emergency lung transplant he required after downing. He will be repatriated to the Dordogne where he will take a job in an auberge and marry the owner, a leathery yet vital widow called Aurélie. They will live happily together until Christmas 2037 when Keanu, on a cycling holiday with Albie, recognises him and informs him that his daughter Annie has been kidnapped by white slavers.

R265 they only have 2 options, either he's dead or presumed dead. He isn't going to reappear so the music marked the actor's exit. If he isn't dead and the character comes back, viewers will have forgotten by then.

There was a pub guv'nor named Mick

Who had a big ol' hairy dick

He stuck it up his "L"

Making dirty prozzie Janine well jel'

And drowned him in the sea

Now Mick was a Carter

And with God he did barter

"If I'm saved and make it ashore

I'll do the dirty on that whore"

But when he floated to French sand

He found himself on remand

Cause his cockney blether no one could understand

So Mick found himself detained

From his darling "L" he was restrained

For being an "illegal" from Albania!

Wiki says Freddie is 18. If that's the case, I don't think there'd be any coming back from an 18-year old having sex with a 12-year old.

Regardless of the circumstances, given her age, whomever had sex with her committed statutory rape. If the boy is also underage, then they probably wouldn't prosecute, since Lily would be guilty of same. As I recall, that's how they handled the recent Charlie (14) and Ella (13) underage sex-pregnancy story on Hollyoaks.

by Anonymousreply 275January 3, 2023 8:23 AM

Watching clips from older episodes, from the late 90s to mid 00s, it's shocking the difference in quality of writing, acting and directing between then and now. The show used to be a weekly drama with watercooler moments, even the advertising used to be based on this reputation "everyone's talking about it", now it's just a soap with ghosts of its past glory floating about like zombified versions of their old characters. It's a shame to see as the BBC used to be very proud of the show but it feels like they're embarrassed by it these days. Cut back on the episodes, up the budget and put some effort into the advertising and I'm sure the ratings would reflect this.

by Anonymousreply 276January 3, 2023 2:25 PM

I agree with all, R276.

R273, I think the twist might be that Freddie isn’t necessarily all “good.” I’d like him to actually have known about his biological father. The show absolutely needs to bring in Kacey Ainsworth as Mo for at least a week to do the reveal, though. I gather the actor playing Freddie is going on a break soon, don’t know for how long.

Speculation is that Linda Henry (Shirley) is now off contract and might not return until the end of the year at the earliest.

Who had a drunken, clapped,-out old farter

At Christmas she lost her beloved son Mick

Drowned, like her bad son Deano Wick

Poor Shirl' reached the end of her wick

Screwed her face then trashed the Vic

She decided she was done in the square

For life was as wrecked as her hair

She dried her racoon eyes

Zipped her boots right up to her thighs

Then wandered off all on her todd

With a dog, her G-strings and some vod

Nish rots in prison for bit before breaking out next February, during the 39th anniversary, where he tries to get his revenge before getting killed off himself in some accident in full view of everyone so that they know it wasn't under any suspicious circumstances. None of the characters ever have to worry again and they can all move onto the next whodunit.

REALLY flat. Zero chemistry between Collins and Salmon. It was a lot of fun to see Fatboy in the flashback, though.

And I’ll say this again (I think)-it’s absolutely ludicrous that Cindy first hid out from the Ford gangster family in SPAIN. Hadn’t Mary and the other handlers ever heard of Costa Del Crime? Give me a fucking break. Such lazy writing. Cindy would much more likely have been sent somewhere like Guam. Or, in Europe, somewhere like Romania.

I agree about Kathy but this Rose/Cindy shit doesn’t work at all. She doesn’t have any chemistry with the two girls, either. It just doesn’t work and Collins makes it painfully clear what she thinks of having to act this shit. All her line readings and facial expressions look and sound like they’re forced out of her with a crowbar. And she’s a good actress.

The bones were good with the crowd at The Vic and it was a cute move to use Jade Goody’s son as the expository vessel for the Beale’s backstory, like it’s national lore.

‘I’ve just heard some gossip about Bowden’s departure from a well-placed source. All pretty much confirmation of things we already suspected or inferred:

• Max’s behaviour has been spiralling for a long time. • The reason for his axing is “concern for his health” - think we can all guess what that’s a euphemism for. • Kate Oates tried to step in and save his job but was overruled. • A Ben storyline for 2024 has been scrapped as a result of the axing (which indicates no immediate plans to recast). • Max Bowden and Tony Clay don’t get on and their ‘friendship’ in public isn’t genuine.’

R485 I think the justice Ben got was framed in the two episodes of "Mitchell justice" where Phil kidnapped Lewis and beat him up and nearly shot him with a gun, leading to the subsequent one-on-one that Ben had with Lewis where he held him at gunpoint and got Lewis to admit that he'd raped him. It looked like Ben would do the shooting, but then Lewis suggested that would only prove that Ben was just as damaged/bad as he was. Ben let him go and later told Phil that he was going to go to the police and report the rape. While Lewis was arrested, the charges were eventually dropped. That result was indicated at the start, since it had been awhile since the crime happened and there was no physical evidence. However, months later, the, the police came to Ben and told him that Lewis had been arrested on another charge of rape, and it made it sounded like that case was strong enough to go forward.

Sharon needs to get back from attending Michelle post-hysterectomy ASAP. The six storyline is falling off the rails.

I think that Michelle’s hysterectomy is a smokescreen and she’s actually dying. I’m still pissed at Sharon referring to Linda as her best friend a few months ago.

by Anonymousreply 514February 4, 2024 10:01 PM

They don't have a lot of options with the Fowlers, so I think Michelle will be kept on ice until they need her. Another return may better better now that Jenna Russell drank the you'll-never-be-Susan-Tully poisoned chalice.

The latest is The evil Murdoch Sun catching Max Bowden on video saying he's over the moon and free after he got sacked as Ben, when the truth is he was offloaded for his nasty coke habit. I hope they give the character a rest instead of immediately recasting him or killing him off. As I'm learning from watching the 2004 classic episodes, the show gets unmoored without the Mitchells to anchor them.

Here’s what I think happens-Gloria kicks the bucket in the next few weeks and Eddie blames it on George, telling him she died from a broken heart. Eddie tries to get revenge on George by setting a booby trap for Gina but Bobby’s fiancee Anna is killed instead. Bobby becomes Bad Bobby and murders Cindy.

Pretty bad week on EE. The stuff in Milton Keynes with Bianca fell totally flat although it’s always nice to see Patsy Palmer back. OK, Bianca’s flat was nice enough but she was living in what looked like a council estate? Huh? I thought it was made clear she and her husband and kids were living in a nice house on a pleasant suburban street. And Zack and Lauren? Blecch. If James Farrar doesn’t leave with Shona McGarty then at least have Zack do something like being gay for pay. Denzel will develop an addiction to steroids? Yawn. My only hope is he offs Nugget in a fit of roids rage. And Nish, too..

At least they aren’t killing them. They’re airing the 2004-5 Mitchell-free era on Classic Eastenders and you really do see how the Mitchells do glue this show together.

Also rumours are that Letitia Dean is out on stress leave and they had to change the story about The Six as a result.

by Anonymousreply 523March 17, 2024 7:05 AM

R523, Leticia has a big history with stress. While filming the episodes of Sharon grieving Dennis Rickman (he was stabbed on New Year’s Eve 2005), Dean’s marriage was ending. As a result the poor woman almost ended up in a totally catatonic state and would have to have her lines spoonfed to her by the assistant directors. If you watch those episodes it’s all too clear. It seems like she is again suffering from extreme stress. Very sad. I hope she’s OK.

by Anonymousreply 563April 13, 2024 10:29 PM

R563 I didn't hear anything about LA (Los Angeles) either ... just the word "America" used twice.

But that said, if Ben's crimes were handled by a federal court, it wouldn't really matter, since federal prisoners don't necessarily get incarcerated in the state where the crime or their trial took place.

After sentencing, the federal Dept. of Corrections determines if the facility needs to be low, medium, or high security. After that, they have to find a facility that has space. They will sometimes try to take into consideration whether a convict has family nearby who would visit (since that can be seen as part of the rehabilitation process), but in Ben's case that wouldn't really be a factor; so sending him to California is entirely possible. Also, it's not uncommon for federal prisoners to be relocated during the course of their imprisonment. I know one guy who was relocated three times during a five year sentence.

I thought Angry Ben flew to LA to seek alternative treatments for Lola.

by Anonymousreply 565April 14, 2024 2:48 AM

R565 That still wouldn't mean that's where Ben would be imprisoned long-term. .. In fact, on that subject, if Phil just got word from Ben on what his sentence was, it would be highly unlikely for Ben to even know where or what facility he was going to in order to serve his time. (That would be the case with either state or federal court.)

That determination has to be decided by the state or federal entity over corrections. They first do a case evaluation, then decide where they have room. This can take weeks or months. IRL, Ben would probably be at some detention center or temporary retention prison waiting on this decision.

r568, it was a great episode, but current EP Chris Clenshaw needs to ease up a little what is turning out to be somewhat of a misogynistic pattern against the female characters.

Also, they really don’t need to drag out this Yolande sexual assault storyline. This evil, perverted Pastor needs his comeuppance soon. Hopefully the storyline won’t go longer than a month or two.

Every single time a person is raped or sexually assaulted on Eastenders, they react by becoming completely still and silent and the guy just gets on with it. Even Ben Mitchell acted like that when he was raped by the evil bar man and that was completely unrealistic. Never any shouting and struggle.

Screaming, shouting and struggling is an even more common reaction, and yet we never see it, even from highly aggressive characters like Ben Mitchell. My point is that the characters should react differently, and they don't. When a man tried to rape me I fought him off.
