Anglophile and opinionated fan of British telly. I take soap operas seriously. Typos should be expected.

Choosing to believe this is a Great Expectations reference, but probably isn't.

In today's apparently. Actress is pregnant so they had to accommodate. Goes well with Wadey's idea that female character stories should only be about motherhood or supporting a man. 🫤

Nancy being pregnant with Lee's baby. Probably a surrogate situation but still icky.

I see Wadey has resorted to inc*st bating to get people interested in his show. And people are actually falling for it. #EastEnders

Just superb. Full of twists and shocks, all taking place in a dual timeline where each character is sort of the same character in the past... maybe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can't automatically discount the idea because it sounds very Days of Our Lives and Wadey is clearly following the US soap playbook in other ways.

I can accept that maybe there was nothing they could do to convince SKL to stay, but no excuse for how they misused her in Priya's final months and didn't write her out with a bang.

Matthew Farris 🏳️‍🌈 @mattfarris.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I hope SKL isn't giving up acting. She was great in All Creatures Great and Small, and could easily make a career jumping around the murder mystery and cop shows. #EastEnders

Like the McQueen council house in Hollyoaks. I'd rather they showed people sleeping on the floor and complaining about their backs the next day, but Wadey's not interested in realism.

Threw together a quiche yesterday using the new Better Goods rolled pie dough. Flaky and buttery, well worth the extra price.

It also bugs TF out of me how clean and unrealistic the sets look now. Like dollhouse rooms instead of lived in rooms.

I really liked him the first two weeks. He was natural and not OTT. But now seems like he's being directed to be camp and it doesn't work.

Another one of those plot points where if they played it out over weeks with soapy build up and lots of explanation, I'd be on board.

You know I can't stand the guy for what he's done to my favorite show, but Wadey was most definitely not brought in to get the show canceled. That's chat room conspiracy theory bullshit, not how the business of television actually works. #EastEnders
