If I never get as drunk as Phil at a family Christmas I will consider my life wasted 😂

@ 2:25 Tiffany sarcastically says "we must do it again sometime... in the next century perhaps" Clearly wasn't aware that that was only four years away!

[@rayoflight6505]

Poor Tiff didn't make it to the next century either :(

[@paulfrost8895]

No ' three years away ' this would have been the end of 96.

[@paulfrost8895]

Little did she know ' she wouldn 't live to see it quite ' died two years after this.

[@MJQueenForever]

I love how one minute Grant's having a go at Tiff then he's "do you mind? That's my wife you're talking to!" LOL "Time for the big injection" LMAO And then the ultimate matriarch "SHUT UUUUP. ALL OF YA!" LOL

I still think this is the best Eastenders Xmas episode. So much was going on and lots of great performances.

[@lifeslight980]

The best Christmas argument I've ever witnessed on TV 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@mrpauldyke]

I've literally just watched this episode on channel drama and I'm bloody telling ya they don't make them like this anymore 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@sensimania]

I always thought that they casted Lorraine and Joe very well as mother and son. He looks so much like her, its uncanny!

[@bensmithkent22]

Can cut glass on those cheekbones. Lorraine was a sort but that poodle perm was a bit dated.

[@kevmaccormack4513]

I miss them days...Eastenders feels like a totally different show nowadays. Only the landmarks make you realise it's still Walford 😁

One of my all time favourite east Enders scenes.😂

[@johnhuggins1394]

If my missus was Tiffany(Martine Mcutcheon),then I would NOT be kissing another woman underneath the mistletoe as i really fancied her back then!Top Totty!

[@tezdryden9009]

me too, she was my teenage crush lol

i was also a member of the martine mccutcheon fan club, her mother jenny ran it

Amen! They should never have killed her!

I remember I bought her Official Eastenders book it was called Tiffanys Secret Diary lol

I keep replaying this 😂😂😂😂😂

[@gemmaaboagye8951]

Gorge was so nice to joe

[@estherokere4757]

I don't know what Tiffany is playing at, drinking whilst pregnant. I understand Grant's anger and frustration

[@smallie210]

I agree. so many people act like Tiffany was innocent and Grant was a bully but they forget what Tiffany was like. She wasn't sure Grant was the father of Courtney initially and she flirted with other men to make Grant jealous. She also cheated with Beppe when Grant slept with Louise.

[@mikewoods328]

haha sounds like it'd be a right laugh a minute sat there🤣 Go on Phil!!😂

[@midnightstar1996]

Grant was so good with Joe.... despite their differences.

[@hussainmartins5985]

Yh, he's surprisingly patient with Joe. It actually redeems him a little bit.

[@paulfrost8895]

That is true ' mayby he has similar experience ' remember he suffered PTSD after serving in the Falklands when he would have been about Joe's age.

[@bensmithkent22]

Wanted to tap his mum thats all. More suited to her

God I used to love eastenders. Haven’t watched it now for nearly 10 years. You’d have to pay me to watch that politically correct shite

[@paulfrost8895]

Yea I haven 't watched for around 10 years either ' never was a fan ' just tolerated ' totally unrealistic hell hole ' everyone on edge 24 hrs a day ' 365 days a year ' at each others throats constantly ' little humor ' hate soaps anyway ' tho I was a Corrie and Crossroads fan when I was younger ' there so dark now.

[@paulfrost8895]

I never took a shine to it ' just tolerated for around 20 years ' though god only knows why ' most depressing show going if you ask my opinion ' all soaps are ' I used to love Corrie and Crossroads ' and the Sullivans occasionaly when I was younger ' but they were different then ' all too pc these days.

This programme is a poor representation of East Londoners

[@AS-wj1du]

The Fowlers used to have great Christmases the early 90s. The one where Sharon and Grant separated. Then the one where Sharon and Dennis were married and she was pregnant and Sonia and Martin in 2005. And Max and Stacey being found out. This one too where Joe reveals everything. Tiffany shouldn't have been drinking at all but maybe if Grant treated her decently. She was spiting him though it was wrong
