You know what I love most about the twist in
#EastEnders
? Linda's to-ing and fro-ing over whether to step in with that weapon. So often in soap it all happens so fast and the conflict and terror on Linda's face, so perfectly played by Kellie Bright, was crucial.
#Staged
is one of the best pieces of television to come out of this era. I wrote about the magic of the show, and why it should be preserved and revisited just as it is:
Things I need to see in
#EastEnders
:
Ben reacting hilariously to the news that Phil has YET ANOTHER child
Nish surviving & getting a severe comeuppance
Suki & Eve's relationship NOT being overshadowed by the murder cover up
A story for Callum!
See above for Bernie & Yolande
I'm NOT saying that Chrissie doesn't look fabulous but also why does she look like she just stepped off a yacht when she's meant to have spent the last 19 years in prison?!
#EastEnders
When the parental rights story started I didn't think it was wrong, but now the amount of times Jay claims to be Lexi's dad is getting jarring. Lola chose that because Ben was spiralling but it's turned into a disaster with Jay.
#EastEnders
Watched Danielle's interview on
#TheOneShow
. They barely gave her any time and then used her time to talk to Gabby who had already been interviewed. That was a shame
#EastEnders
Ian gearing himself up to find Peter and tell him Lucy was dead. That scream. One of the most haunting, memorable
#EastEnders
moments ever. Skilful editing weaving it into Cindy's scenes. What an episode!
Brilliant scenes ahead from
@JackJamesRyan_
in tonight's
@itvcorrie
. I recently wrote about Jacob and why he's soapland's next great anti-hero:
#Corrie
What's brilliant is that
@Misskeeleyhawes
has played a police officer several times in TV drama, but each portrayal is so completely different from the last. Always unique performances 👏
#Honour
When Amy opened a birthday card written by Hayley. And Rita told Jenny she couldn't wish for a better daughter. Lovely moments!
@juliehes
@SallyAnMatthews
@itvcorrie
And how wonderful was Barbara Knox in tonight's 10,000th ep! 👏
Not only did I miss the reunion, but I also missed the FaceTime, because I’m lame and fell asleep.... thank y’all for the video and hope to see y’all very soon♥️😉

Stunning performances from
@MaxBowden
this week, and beautiful work by Max and
@tony_clay76
in that last episode of the week. Perfectly played and fab script.
Stunning work from
@MaxBowden
again this week, and that honest moment between Ben and Callum was beautifully played by Max and
@tony_clay76
. Heartbreaking and complex situation with Lola too, can understand why but it felt like it wasn't thought through logistically.
#EastEnders
I really think
@jimeroo
and
@BBCHolbyCity
should win an award for their portrayal of Ollie's brain injury trauma. It's been really sensitively written and played.
Brilliant scenes ahead in tonight's
#EastEnders
. A pivotal moment in an ongoing storyline, as well as character-driven dialogue which really delves into a certain person's psyche.
@DannyBMiller
Retail workers aren't paid enough to put up with the verbal abuse they could face by implementing the rules. Some places allow their employees to 'remind' customers to wear masks if they are comfortable to do so.
Sometimes Kirk really gets it right. That was a lovely scene as Kirk supported Beth
@itvcorrie
. I wrote about
@andywhyment81
's brilliant performances, along with a few other soap actors, earlier this year for Metro
Sat and watched today's
#EastEnders
yesterday and it made me cry. No spoilers for those who want to watch tonight instead of on iPlayer, but what a gem of a script and stunning work from
@MaxBowden
&
@tony_clay76
.
#Ballum
Such an important storyline with Dom. I believe he is the first regular soap character to have a stoma? For those viewers who live with one or may have one in the future, this is a huge thing. Heartbreaking scenes tonight
@semadivad
@BBCHolbyCity
The casting for the
#EastEnders
flashback episode is unbelievably good. Quite a few stand outs that sound so similar to the original actors - but special mention to Daniel Delaney as Phil. Do NOT miss this on Monday 👀

throughout this storyline. George has become an iconic character, I love his community spirit and it's no wonder he's become so beloved in less than a year. 👏
V surprised to see telly discussions about
#EastEnders
going downhill. I disagree! Months ago I wrote about there being too many issue-led stories at once, but this has calmed down & there's more of a balance now. The cast are clearly thrilled & excited by what's to come, too.
I watched Monday's
@emmerdale
earlier.
@karenblick
's performance made me cry, it was so beautifully played! And then Lydia's little speech in the pub was wonderful. Bravo Karen! 👏
@itvcorrie
Someone on
#TeamCorrie
please tell David and Alison how much everyone loves their scenes together - Carla & Roy's friendship is beautifully played! 👏👏👏
Feeling particularly saddened about
#HolbyCity
's fate tonight after what I've just watched. It's taken me more than an hour to compose any kind of tweet but felt compelled to say that, at least.
