And for whom? Ravi or Jack? Why?

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

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

Nope. Never watched it never will.

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.

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

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

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.

No votes as never watched Eastenders or any of the soaps

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

Agree, it's tedious.

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!

Tedious and wholly predictable grin

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 😜

Gwenisgreat1 Fri 21-Feb-25 16:59:06

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?

sweetcakes Fri 21-Feb-25 18:25:37

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

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

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, 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.

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.

tackling taboo issues

Hellogirl1 Fri 21-Feb-25 22:01:56

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.

I think EastEnders used to be great 20yrs ago...now I find it so gloomy and depressing, although there have been great actors over the years...saying that, I have no interest in watching it...
