Photo Spoilers: Crossing the line...
Emotions run high
If there was a line, Joey and Lauren have just jumped over it with both feet... The pair can't resist each other and this week are set to share a kiss (or two!). What will the rest of the Brannings think?

The Butcher's are back...
Carol and the kids return to Walford! Hurrah! Will Derek (who's well and truly taken over Pat's pad) be pleased to see them?

The honeymoon period
What honeymoon period? It's not been fun and games for our newlyweds. Poor Christian is carted off by the police after Danny presses charges. Will the Masood's come to his rescue?

She just can't help herself...
Kat gets flirty with the Branning Bros - is that really wise? What will hubby Alfie have to say... will he get suspicious?
Turn back the clock?
Derek tries (once again) to bond with Joey. This time he gives him an heirloom in the form of a watch. As Joey drops it into a pint glass will daddy dearest finally get the message?

Mummy's little girl
What a heartbreaking moment. Lola cradles little Lexi and tells her that she is wanted and she is loved...*sob*

And Eastenders-Shenanigans, she was SUPPOSED to be "funny, serious, naughty, emotional, vulnerable, you name it", but she just wasn't,that's the problem. And to be honest, I think you either have it or you don't, you can't learn to be talented, "Stacey" was good from day one, for example. So to me, "taking a child from the mother" just looked like "taking a doll from a little girl".

I don't like Lola much when she starts being silly again e.g causing chaos but i have to say she played the part well with Lexi being taken away. As for Bigsmile76 like everybody else you also have a right to voice your opinion but as for Kat telling Michael not to abandon Scarlett being emotional it really wasn't but Lola's performance was way better and showed more feelings. I think they should give her daughter back now and get Lola to mend her ways. Can't stand the love affair between Denise and Fatboy God is she that desperate looking for a little tomboy how disgusting !
Kat's affair storyline is just so dragging they need to reveal the real Branning and get it over and done with most likely it will be Max. Come on Eastenders don't drag these storylines forever.

After all, we are talking about SOAP, for God's sake, they do have some really good actors every now and again, or the actors who are just right for their part, but mainly, they don't really have true stars in the soaps, do they? And you did name the main problem with "Lola"'s acting: the character has changed so much that it's almost two different characters, but we still see the same old Lola. When Lola got pregnant, she was just this difficult teenager, a chav, and she kept her accidental pregnancy only to try and get a council flat and other benefits. But when Lexi was born, she suddenly had this little family (her granddad and her daughter), and this little girl that she loved so much - something she had always wanted and something that had been missing from her life (I mean, love, family). But we STILL SEE THIS STROPPY TEENAGER, not a young mother. That's why I am telling - "Lola" needs more experience or maybe more talent IMHO.

And we now know it's one of the Branning brothers, and if it's Max or Jack, just pass me the sick bucket. Will they cheat on their respective partners - AGAIN? Come on EE, just show us a true love, where the couple just love each other and true to each other - for a change.

And Lola does need to grow up , she needs to change and become mature. One min she's a Mum next min she's a trouble maker. Lol!!
She can play the emotional Mum role well so that's what she should do.
