Len Cnut Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Nah, the British were in on Who Shot JR anyway, Eastenders is a long running soap here and for its 30th anniversary they bumped someone off basically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 so i take it this is the british equivalent of who shot JR?Not quite, there's a murder on average once a year in Eastenders. It's a program about people who live in a small area of London who are always filling for divorce, cheating and murdering. Yet surprisingly never swearing with an unusually low amount of racism where the people who move in always seem to meet politically correct quotas.It's filled with so many stereotypes it's almost unrealistic. The Christmas episode each year almost always ends with someone crying in the rain or someone being written out of the show.It's also about people who live in a very small square/roundabout of streets. Proportionally the life expectancy there is worse than for asofai characters.Bad acting too!!! ..but it's British so people don't bat an eyelid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 so i take it this is the british equivalent of who shot JR?Something like that. Transplant it from Texas to Walford. Add lots of bald headed ginger guys with laryngitis. Replace Sue Ellen with Kat Slater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturginho Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Surely "who shot Phil" was the who shot JR of Eastenders, and that was an anti-climax too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 so i take it this is the british equivalent of who shot JR?For a point of reference y'know on the front cover of GnR Lies it says 'Dirty Den in the Pen'? Well 'Dirty' Den Watts was a character in Eastenders in the 80s, as the front cover of Lies is supposed to be a piss-take of a sensationalist British Tabloid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake-Pit Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) My father married my moma! - after two of their kids were born and am 5th (youngest) out of that litter which also was both of their last litters...Anyways, Lucy Beale.Was cool when she rose from the dead and we got to see her last day and the whole cast were running around wondering if their character was going to be the one 'that done' Lucy because it was A: live and B: a heavily guarded secret that even had people gambling on it in betting shops.

Len Cnut Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I don't think she rose from the dead dear boy, it was a flashback episode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-Pit Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) I don't think she rose from the dead dear boy, it was a flashback episode I know... but it looked cool how they done it regardless... like she was rising.and! - I noticed she was standing next to the word 'coffin' as soon as they rose her from the grave to tell her story, on a poster in the background on the E20/nightclub.

Snake-Pit Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I saw it, then saw it again on repeat on Sunday in the real early hours, and that's when I noticed the word Coffin next to Lucy on that first shot of her standing there after they bought her character back up from the grave.
