Is he going to be playing video games in every scene he is in now?

That was a weak ending.
Yeh, especially with the multiple storylines going on.

Not a great episode for the thread's first.

To be fair, it had a lot to live up to.
I think given how long ago it was filmed, it was done well enough to incorperate the past weeks stories as well as move some along.
yep.
Yeah.

I think if you open the great screenwriter's dictionary and look under 'filler' you'll now see a picture of Nancy asking Mick the same question a good ten times across two episodes and him lamely avoiding an answer.
Surprised by the amount of direct continuation of the Bobby stuff though. Kinda went in thinking there would just be vague allusions to a murderer but to have it directly brought up was cool.

I have enjoyed the different ways they've attempted to conceal Jacqueline Jossa's baby bump.
I swear BBC and Nintendo have some sort of deal, there's 3DS systems cropping up all over the place.
Same haha, she's so up herself.
What the hell happened to Phil? Can't just not drop the Kathy bombshell before they leave.

As I said in the live thread, they are trying to link violence with video games. I'm sure there will be a scene with Dot in the police station talking about raiding in Destiny. Any character seen playing Majora's Mask should be locked up right away as a precaution.

I imagine those could have been filmed recently and inserted into the earlier shot footage.
It's been confirmed that select scenes were shot today and inserted into the episode.
I always like minor characters in shows, especially amidst massive storylines. The Beales, Cottons and Carters are all main eventing, Kim has her baby worries, and EastEnders still managed to give some attention to Pam and Les. Just shows the depth of the cast.
I really liked how the Lucy aftermath was handled. Clearly the scenes filmed long ago were very ambiguous, though Treadwell-Collins tweeted there were inserts filmed just this morning.
The missing Dean development is really, really weak unfortunately. Everyone knows he's alive so it's a pointless twist to a good storyline. Simply having Dean stay away for all this time would have had more impact.

That graveyard scene was blatantly filmed last year.

A Denny mention! He's alive!
Les cracks me up.
It was nice to see Ben genuinely scared about how he feels instead of the hard act he tries to put on.
Nice episode, tied up a few loose threads.
Weird hearing Julia's Theme a lot these past few weeks!

The average male cast member body fat % just went up a few points.

Moving halfway around the world?
Screw it, one rucksack and I'll be fine.
Lucy's grave also joined Denny in the "Missing" club:
In front of grave:
2ft and 20 seconds later...
edit: reading some FB comments I think it's been confirmed that Peter is returning but with a new actor later next year, and they're gonna drag out the Dean thing for a few months

Why does he wear the mask!?
Just watched the episode. Really good exit for Peter & Lauren, although really disappointed in the added Peter & Michael Myers scene.
That said, this current "is Dean dead?" storyline just feels out of place and like padding at this point.
Can't wait to see Ben Hardy in X-Men!

Yup, pretty run of the mill episode, not much happened until the end.
That could be a review of every episode

I don't know if any of you guys watch Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe but he had a segment on the Live Week last night and he was surprisingly positive.
I'm enough of a child to think that Charlie Brooker liking something that I like totally validates it.

He was positive about Danny Dyer's performance when he joined last year too.

Dos anyone else think Nancy seems borderline mentally ill? She pulls weird faces and talks in such a stupid way.
Come to think of it, her character annoys me. She was originally a chavvy rude girl, with a penchant for bad boys and now she's a whiney Daddy's girl.
Mind you, I still prefer her to Carol and Sonia.

Personally I think Nancy has fallen into the trap of the writer not knowing what to do with her.

Pretty competent episode tonight, shit actually happened, though we all know they're going to drag this Dean shit out.
L's mum singing wasn't exactly great.
L's mum singing wasn't exactly great.
Writing out Johnny and Dexter probably hurt her characterization since they were the main two people she interacted with.
What happened to Tamwar's crush on her?
I thought EXACTLY the same as you while I watched it. Impressed at the positivity and then the sense of validation.

Yeah was thinking this last night anything could happen between those two.
Les really needs a good tough storyline he's wasted so far, damn good actor.
