Arse Robinson He’s the son of a real gangster, Freddie Foreman, so thats probably why he’s so authentic.

[@braindonor8753]

@@MarineAqua45 authentic? Hahaha he is the worst actor I have ever seen. 🙈🙈🙈

[@MarineAqua45]

Brain Donor Jaime Foreman, can play psychos & gangsters, well, because he grew up around these people & I can say, that his version of Derek Branning is scary & even Micheal French ( The David Wicks actor) was scared of him for real,for a few seconds-as Jaime probably added a few unscripted actions, like more physical violence, etc. Jaime might be a one-dimensional, crap actor, but he’s nailed playing villains well & they cast him, in Eastenders,for this reason.

[@MindfulnessGamer]

Jamie Foreman’s performance in this scene is absolutely amazing. One of the best acting performances I’ve seen on a soap. Shame he was killed off, they could have done a lot more with Jamie Foreman’s talent.

They can be, other times they can be quite silent and not really be any more uncomfortable than having mild indigestion. Severe chest pain is typically more common in male heart attack victims than females.

[@rem2267]

Explosive scene, extremely well acted. Jake wood, playing Max, is a great cirier - one of the best in the show. I was not watching the show at this time, so I love to take sneak peeks at things I have missed. I just started watching again after missing about 15 years.

Yeah same. Underneath the family man persona he had a genuinely intimidating and menacing presence. You knew he wasn’t a bloke to be messed with.
