And for whom? Ravi or Jack? Why?

Some folk may scoff at this, but I haven`t missed a single episode of Eastenders since it started. When we went on holiday our daughter recorded it for us. Even my hubby liked it.

tackling taboo issues

I don't think Eastenders is a waste of money or time. It plays an important role in tacklingtabooissues. And even issues which affect us all on a daily basis wherever we are - health, education, policing, family relationships, etc.
I lived for many years in East London and can vouch for the fact that the soap depicts the multi generational and multicultural area to a tee.

Didn't vote, would have have gone for Jack. GNs post always arrive a day late anyway, ie Thursday's arrived on Friday. So annoying always being behind.

No I didn't vote I don't watch soaps or reality programs waste of money and time I mean who marries someone at first site!

Probably more of a waste of your time then to comment on something in which you have no interest.

By the way, it's "sight", not site. And anyway, your views on reality programmes have absolutely nothing to do with this thread.

So a bit of a waste of your time all round really.

hmm hmm

Didn't vote but glad it's Jack. Shocked it was Martin who died

I didn’t vote, but love EastEnders and Emmerdale, lost interest in Coronation Street a long time ago…
Personally, I love a bit of tedious 😜

Not calling the soaps tedious, I think you may have misunderstood

I'll vote for Jack, and Julia for Sonia's baby - didn't see it last night but wondered who hasn't survived the fire?

So why bother posting on this thread?

Agree, it's tedious.

Tedious and wholly predictable grin

I always wonder that about the children too! And how they all fit into the houses; I sometimes find myself totting them upon my fingers….think I need to get out more. But this week has been a good doof doof week!

Gave up on Eastenders years ago, too much arguing, violence, miserable programme.

No votes as never watched Eastenders or any of the soaps

dogsmother Fri 21-Feb-25 14:26:32

No voting from me but it would have been Ravi all the way. Jack is a bent cop. Ravi may be dishonest but that’s no secret it’s a catch me if you can and much more fun, for make believe.

Earthmother9 Fri 21-Feb-25 14:15:33

I voted for Jack.....Ravi looks ridiculas with those overblown shoulders.

Delene100 Fri 21-Feb-25 14:13:26

Linda's children were with Nancy. She took them when Linda went into rehab. As for the others, I don't know.

Alison333 Fri 21-Feb-25 14:12:50

Well, it's all over now but I voted for Ravi purely because I find Jack's character annoying and unconvincing, not at all because of Ravi's looks!
Julia was the only sensible choice for the baby's name. 'Toni' sounded like a character from an early 1960s film.

wibblywobblywobblebottom Fri 21-Feb-25 14:07:29

Nope. Never watched it never will.

Nannan2 Fri 21-Feb-25 14:00:40

Its k not spoiling it, i been getting the odd update or two from the Cleaners.And the mirror tv web pages.

Nannan2 Fri 21-Feb-25 13:58:00

We had a vicky years ago, with Michelle's daugher to dirty Den.

Nannan2 Fri 21-Feb-25 13:56:54

Wheres the baby vote? Ive missed it all so far anyway as ive been in hospital two & a half weeks! Will have to do catch up.I saw the Jack/Ravi vote (voted for Ravi as he does seem to really care about Denise, but Jack seems to only care about himself.

knspol Fri 21-Feb-25 13:48:15

Definitely Ravi - who would want boring old Jack again???
