This week on EastEnders: Jack's shot and Janine's in lurve

So... Billie's former squeeze decided that if she couldn't have Billie, no one could (after shoving a poo through the door of the Jacksons as a final gesture... well if that didn't win him back, nothing will). But she didn't factor Jack's extreme manliness when calculating the angle of fire for aiming at Billie. Jack dove to protect his nephew and got shot in the process. Will he pull through? It isn't looking good and yet again the Branning/Jackson family is bracing itself for another bout of mourning. Fingers crossed for our JB.
Ryan hearts Janine and... Janine has a heart... who'da thunkit?

Was it Lancelot who said of Guinevere: "You're the most horrendous human being I've ever met in my life but I'm so completely and utterly in love with you it makes me sick"? No, it was Ryan Dean. The lucky lady in question? Ms Janine Butcher, who had inadvertently wooed her man by a mixture of casual naughtiness, con-merchantry, weeping over her aged murdered ex, and pimping him out to Roxy Mitchell while trying to bed Roxy's brother for a stake in the Mitchell Empire. Wow, when you see it all written out like that, you can see the attraction.
Anyone fancy popping down to Poxy's for a facial?
Sorry can't, I'm heading down the Queen Zit to meet Mo for a swift one and some knock-off hair extensions. Fortunately, Danny managed to sort the typo on Roxy's sign and the new beauty salon was opened. One in the face for Ronnie. But why is Danny so keen on his sister's move into the beauty trade? Is it part of his crusade to rid Walford of chipped nails and split ends? Or something more underhand? In the olden days we would have said 'answers on a postcard' but you can just type yours in the comments section below...

I dont think Ryan and Janine should get together. Ryan should get with Stacey and help her raise his child. There is something not right with Danny. Especially on Fridays episode because he was on the phone to Glenda! I dont actually think he's a Mitchell, he could be Ronnies other secrect son!

meanwhile, i really liked the love scenes between ryan and janine, especially the 'you're the most horrendous human being i've ever met...' line. but i'm with you, jessica_grace. secretly, i just want stacey to be happy over all else! i just can't see janine in a committed relationship. is she going to give ryan a breakdown??

Janine is far too selfish and only has one thing on her mind and that is money. Besides the writers of Eastenders could not possibly make Janine 'nice' as she makes an excellent baddie. No viewer would be convinced.

He may not even be Glenda's son, but could be a nephew or even Toy boy that she has drafted in to get the money. Archie was no fool, and if Glenda left him he would have tracked her down to get his revenge. He would have got to know about any Son. Or any child she had to another man. Despite everything, he liked to think he was a family man, and with no other Son's to carry on his name he would never have let that one go. Danny has been sent in to play a role, so nothing he says can be believed right now.
Dont know where they are going to go now with Janine, as she will never change. She spent a whole episode assuming that the Brannings would just let her run R&R and be grateful for it, when clearly they never would. Now she is going to work in the bookies and start another scam. Surely she has run out of places to scam now, and people to con. Nobody trusts her or belives a word she says apart from Ryan and possibly Ricky. How can a character function on the Square when they are so segregated from everybody else? She's obviously the new nick cotton, but he comes and goes which is how he gets away with it. Am interested to see how the writers will justify her staying now.

I think it was yesterday, he was talking to Glenda and said 'Archie' instead of 'Dad'. I mean, that could have nothing to do with it but it'd just an idea.
I think Ryan and Janine would be good together but I think that Ryan would be better suited with Stacey. He should also bring up the baby. I mean, wouldn't he have had a tiny inkling tat the baby might be his? I know that they are saying it is the late Bradders baby but he should still think because Bradley was a nice boy and wouldn't have cheated on Syd. He wouldn't have cheated on anybody.

PS: Brilliant acting from all the people mentioned in my comment (: x

If Archie had known that Glenda had a son by him she would never have been able to bring him up herself Archie was too controling. If Glenda and Danny do manage to scam Roxy out of most of her money (which I doubt) then I think it will be yet another storyline put on hold and dragged out when things are getting dull. It could be a while until we fing out who Danny really is.
