I gave up watching Eastenders some years back (you should try it fox - you sleep better at night and have more energy in the day).


However, when I've occasionally caught a bit by accident, it seems to be a scene I've seen before, with the same characters and dialogue. Or in fact, featuring characters who I thought had left - or in some cases - I thought were dead.


Has anyone checked that the BBC haven't just stopped making new episodes - and are instead simply showing all of it in reverse order?

I too haven't watched it with any regularity for a long long time, and hadn't seen an episode for a good couple of years. However, I watched it on Christmas night and was quite shocked that I knew so many characters.


Phil, Sharon, Ian, Kathy (didn't she die?!?!?), Kat and Stacy Slater... There were new people aswell, but as *bob* says they just seemed to fill gaps left by former characters. There has always been the token asian family for example. A real reflection of the east end would feature a hell of a lot more asian families! And some eastern europeans.

There was this great sketch, probably on Spitting Imagem of Eastenders competing with Corrie over ridiculous plots. It was finally trumped by Brookie saying 'we've done all of that' with a plot that involved nuclear war (or some other nonsense).


For years Brookie was the only decent soap but even that got silly before it was axed.


Archers for me nowadays.

She plays Stacey Slater very well. I caught her in a bit of her in that army thing, were she also played Slacey Slater.


Has she been Stacey Slater in any other dramas which I've missed out on?

Perhaps I'm missing some sort of sarcasm here. *bob*


But in 'that army thing' Our Girl ,Lacey Turner played Molly Dawes...


Foxy

Didn't Stacey Turner - the gutsy yet troubled working class gal trying to get out of a rut of life - run away from the square to join the army, where she reinvented herself as Lacey Slater, a gutsy but troubled working class gal trying to get out of a rut in life?


Am I thinking of the same thing? Nick Cotton plays the sergeant major.. that one?

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
