Blimey, East Enders!

I think Mick's away but Janine had a great time acting her socks off. Poor Linda and Shirley though.
Linda's outfit recovered well from it's dip in the briny!

Good acting all round. I felt a bit drained willing Scarlette to break from her mum.
Does this mean Janine now owns The Vic?

Janine is a canny actress I think.
I wish they had allowed her character to develop a bit over the years rather than being all about her relationships with men.

Not sure Joseanne- but 'our' secret is out lol ;)

I think Linda owns half The Vic as Mick was going to buy her out (and vice versa) but presumably Janine will inherit Mick's half.

It's a shame Linda's dress survived!

Honestly, I think Mick will turn up. Shall we take bets?

If they conveniently can't find Mick's body, then he could always come back 5 or 6 years later. It leaves it open fir him to return.
It's the Lola story that I fear will have a sad definitive conclusion.

Ah clever!

yes, poor Lola.

I think that Danny Dyer said he was pleased they had left it open for him to come back one day when he's got himself sorted out.

The consensus seemed to be that Janine was going to jail - has that gone by the board now? I didn't understand why they had to chase her - the police had been called and they'd have her registration number.

The Christmas day episode was pretty stressful particularly after watching the sickly 'Call the Midwife.'

I'm guessing all these Christmas specials have an end goal in mind and work back from there to make the story?

Janine was arrested tonight.

Presumably she will inherit Mick's half and, therefore, be Linda's partner.

Janine won't be able to inherit anything unless Mick's body is found or he is declared dead which takes some time I think.
Janine really did act her socks off I agree Aveline, not the outcome I was expecting at all.

Oh I hadn't thought of that sodapop. I wonder how long it takes? My father drowned in the sea in Perth, but the body was quickly found and the inheritance dealt with.

I think that the BBC have left the door open in case Danny Dyer decides to return. They haven't killed him off. In England it takes seven years to list a missing person as deceased without a body.

I don't really understand the whole Danny Dyer thing, I think he is a terrible actor.

Oooooo noooo.. He's lovely!

I like him too. It won't be the same without him.
I can see Alfie moving in to the Vic...

I think Alfie has been brought back because Mick will be out of the picture. Eastenders has always had some sociable and jokey characters to counter all the tragic storylines.

I agree Galaxy Danny Dyer is a bad actor but he was suited to the Eastenders role. I think like many actors in the soaps he is a one trick pony.

Oh no, 😲 😮 not the pony word, used by Hackney born DDyer to mean something else!! (I'm an East London girl too).

Actually I'm sure I read or heard that Dyer has had parts in several Pinter plays on stage.

Who are these people??

LOL, don't worry about it ;)

If you don't watch EE, you won't know. I don't watch any other soaps, so wouldn't have a clue? that's ok ;)

Who are these people??

No idea really, but they kind of pay a visit to my TV lounge 4 times a week!
