be prepared to come inside my chaotic brain because some of these are ones that people won't remember, some that are iconic and some are special enough to have julia's themes
also this changes a fair bit
this is long I'm sorry I have many thoughts
"how come you don't know?" "know what?" "that den watts is still alive!" - dennis and sharon
no duff duff will ever beat this. you had the suspense for weeks that dennis knew something that the audience didn't. the way it was delivered mid argument is incredible. the anger on dennis' face and the shock and horror on sharon's. it is eastenders at its best and i will love this forever
2. christmas 2005 - snowball fight
this whole christmas period is iconic. kat and alfie getting back together in the snow !!!! sharon and dennis finding out they’re having a little baby which is all that dennis ever wanted and sharon thought she could never give to him !!!! its so nostalgic for me, this episode is my comfort christmas episode and the fact it ended with all the characters having this massive snowball fight was just perfect
3. "you can't tell me what to do you ain't my mother!" "yes i am!!!" - kat and Zoe
this sl is starting on classic ee and i'm so ready for the reveal. the fact that this story wasn't even meant to happen, the producer just really wanted jessie to be on the show so they created this character story...iconic. the fact that the storyline started at the start of them coming into the show and built over time and hints were dropped constantly until the reveal and even then people didn't understand the gravity of it...its perfect
4. bobby killed lucy
when i tell you we spoke about this sl EVERY DAY in school. everyone i knew had a different guess. i said bobby for about a month before the reveal and even i was shocked. the fact it made national press speaks for itself really, it truly is such an iconic duff duff
5. tiffany's death
this was harrowing, i can still hear bianca's scream. the fact that frank was the one who killed her was genius by the writers; the way it was filmed is so raw, i love it. that last shot of the light in her eyes...beautiful. also sidenote when bianca came back and she'd named tiff after her i remember crying lmao
6. sharongate
literally one of the best reveals of all time. one of the most iconic soap storylines, EVER. the fact that its a drunk confession that gets recorded, and the fact that grant has zero idea, the way that he smiles when sharon talks about him and then she starts talking about phil and his smile fades...impeccable
7. grant and courtney in the airport
full disclosure, i was obsessed with this as a child. "he said if you didn't want it i could spend it on shoes" gets quoted on the regular by myself because i love this duff duff so much. the fact it was a julia's theme as well and we didn't see grant for another 10 years after that so its v special to me
8. christian and syed julia's theme exit
the first gay julia's theme I believe? it was so special to me that they got that, and i loved that it was happy and they literally went off into the sunset together. it's one storyline that will always have a piece of my heart
9. nigel telling clare that her mum's dead
this is one i watched for the first time a couple of years ago and although i wasn't attached to any of the characters, i had a soft spot for nigel and this scene absolutely shattered me. the fact that its silent is perfect. you didn't need to hear what he said because clare's reaction spoke for itself
10. stuart and rainie's exit
yes it just happened tonight but if you'd told me that when stuart came into the show, i would be sobbing my heart out at him leaving, I would've laughed in your face. they are perfect for each other in their chaotic way and i love them for it
As much as it makes no sense for Callum to not be digging deeper, the fact that no-one who knows the truth isn’t grabbing him and shaking him a little just makes it more unrealistic. I was expecting Phil to blurt something out at the hospital, but nope.
RIGHT i mean now that he's living with jay maybe we'll get something there???? it's just so crazy that they let callum walk out while ben was like that
Feared for Steve then.... Think Jimmy said something to him in the van.... Not sure who the feck Jo is related to... xx
the way i was watching it threatening that if steve died i’d never watch it again💀that scene really reminded me of bodyguard though! i’m thinking maybe tommy hunter or john corbett, but the wild card would be ryan👀
The way all the happy moments that people are replying to your post with are all in the build up to something angsty/horrible happening…. I see you EE. lol.
💀💀the accuracy is fucking unreal HAHAHAHA why is this such a normal thing for eastenders
