Photo spoilers: Tug of love for the women of Walford
Week commencing 15 August 2011:
Hell hath no fury...
Like Vanessa scorned. Jack, Carol and Darren struggle to keep her under control, as a terified Jodie looks on What has tipped Vanessa over the edge?

Style Queens
Pat and Jean battle for Norman's affections - but surely only one of them can be his Pearly Queen? Who's the real deal, and who is the imposter?

Kiss of death?
Whitney's lovin' lip-lock with luscious Lee - but is her dishy date hiding a secret that could put her life in danger?

Taking the Michael?
Looks like more snoggage is on the cards! Vanessa seems to have calmed down a bit - even if her hair hasn't - but will Michael making a move on her solve anything?

The waiting game
Trauma for Tanya as she visits the hospital. We're really hoping she doesn't become Walford's latest casualty.

Lauren order?
The police crack down on dodgy dealer Ryan after a tip-off, but is Lauren in their sights too?

Pull the other one
Alfie, Christain and Anthony get to grips with a tug of war in the Square. But who are they trying to pull and who will win? Place your bets everyone!

I'm not suprise vanessa flips oput this week, she is wound very tightly, it was bound to happen some time! And i'm not sure the kitchen could have coped with any more cleaning, or the cushions any more fluffing.
Tanya is getting on my nerves a bit. I used to love her but now she is doing to greg exactly what stacey and max did to her so she knows how it feels and she does it anyway. She knew how she felt about Max on the day she married Greg, she should have just said 'I Don't'.
Haven't seen much of Dot recently, is she ok?
Looking forward to this week, still loving the show. Keep it up EE! x x

I hope she attacks Max to the pulp for being a cheat!
She suffered from her previous marriage, so this smart Barbie deserves HER
happiness!
Tanya seriously should've known better, I agree with Hazeldene15. I've lost
all respect for Tanya for going back to Max just because of the "thrill" in
being in an affair. Tanya already knows she will be cheated on by Max, so why
ruin the best relationship she has with Greg? I sadly agree with Tanya's mum...
Tanya is too spoiled.
Looking forward to the tug-of-war competition!!!

Surely Walford would be in the centre of things or will the residents all be blissfully unaware of the battles raging on London streets.

Cant wait to see Vanessa loose her temper, but i'm not so sure about what Michael is up to? Can't he find his own girlfriend.
Also really looking forward to tug-of-war!!!

The tug-of-war looks funny- I know it is Anthony, Christian and Alfie Vs. Tyler, Syed and Eddie. Going by muscle power, I'd put money on Anthony and Christian's team winning :D

I Love Max and Tanya their Awesome! I'm totally for their affair! Their soul mates, they've always belonged with each other! After all they've been through and what they both put each other through, it's great to see they are both able to forgive and forget, which shows how strong their love is for each other! LOVE CONQUERS ALL! Yeah I admit I'll feel sorry for Vanessa and Greg. But to be honest Vanessa kinda of a mental reck and she's so posh and closed up.. and Greg's abit of a dope.. but he's sweet.. I'll feel more sorry for Greg than Vanessa.. And for the comments above saying that Tanya's just like stacey.. I disagree again.. stacey was just a cheap fling and it was a long tie ago.. Max got a bit bored (which is wrong) but before you could see that stacey and max liked each other strongly.. but in this affair you can see it in their eyes.. When Tanya and Max's eyes meet it just love.. BUT GREAT JOB WITH THE STORYLINE OF MAX AND TANYA.. Can't wait to see who she chooses.. but I have feeling she's going to make the wrong decision and choose Greg.. And I cann't wait to see Amira back on the show! DRAMA ALERT! Looks like Christian and Syed are already Dad's:)

And I disagree with Elaine ^^ because if stacey was just a fling, why did Max want to leave with her? And i don't understand why Whitney just has her sideburns hanging down? And Anthony isn't wearing any socks... he must be very blistery...

What has happened to Eastenders? There have been times over the years where it really has captured something. Most other times in between, it's just a re-hash based on presenting people as simply liars and cheats.
What a waste of the license fee. At least cut it back from 4 nights a week.

When Tanya had an affair with Max when he was with Rachel, she broke her heart, but when Stacey did it to her she felt what Rachel was feeling and now she is doing the exact same thing but this time to Gregg and Vanessa. And Elaine Stacey was not a fling Max actually fell in love with her and when Stacey was leaving Max told her he loved her. Max's heart goes towards from one woman to another, so we can't exactly say that he actually loves Tanya

finally some other people who see that Max and Tanya don't want to be together, but they NEED to be together! they're soul mates and they will always love eachother. i do feel sorry for Greg and Vanessa, course i do, but Greg always tries to impress Tanya, and Vanessa is alwasy cleaning. Its good to see Vanessa having a leading role for a change, but i think she i taking it too far by temaing up with Michael, Michael Moon of all people! Poor Tanya, she looked really sad, can't wait for tonnights episode!

I have been watching the relationship with Ben and brother Jay, and Ben has a sinister side which is well hidden, same as Ronnie Kray, and Jay a bit more approachable but can be evil too, like Reggie. Would be good to see something like the Krays in eastenders. Cora played by Anne Mitchell would make a good type of adoptive Mum (come close friend) to the boys Ben + Jay, as She was brilliant at playing a very shrewd Lady as Dolly Rawlings in "Widows". I hope eastenders will put Her into some type of role like that.

Perhaps now V's stepford wife betrayal will come to an end and she can play something a little more feisty, I love her character and am sure the bbc have something much better for her with the Eddie and Michael scenario. One more point...if she is is having withdrawl symptoms from the constant cleaning..she is welcome to my house anytime!

Vanessa - she is a gold digger judging by tonight's show. Why do people want her to be with Greg - he can do much better than a gold digger who just wants another man to sponge off. Plus someone said that she had it bad with Harry so she deserves happiness now but she's the one who cheated on Harry and didn't he say that she had cheated more then once or have I got that wrong?
