Pete crying at his mothers funeral is by far the best and most natural piece of acting in Peter Dean’s career.

EastEnders would be incapable of producing such understated scenes today, scenes containing pathos and realism. These days the show is an over acted pantomime, with only Ian, Dot and Sharon to remind us of the good old days.

Not realistic that since Lou Beale made a list of who was invited and who banned, she would have allowed Pat to be at her funeral. Didn't Lou hate Pat for the whole paternity drama over Simon and turning Pete and his brother Kenny against each other through her affair with Kenny when she was married to Pete?! The beginning of 'Ender's illogical writing...

Kris Ford again not made clear it you didn't see that particular episode. Should have been mentioned. Pat could have said something like "So glad she forgave me for everything before she went." But nothing is said like this at all. They built up Lou's hatred for Pat over the first few years and then resolve it in one single episode. Silly.

No It was very rare to see a train on the bridge, usually as a tribute to a character or on special occasions as the special effect cost the BBC a lot of money I think it was the first time a train had actually been seen rather than just heard
@stephenmcconnell10005 жыл бұрын
No, it was the first time the BBC had used that effect on the show because in reality there is no train line up there. It reportedly cost at the time 'an arm and a leg, but old Lou was worth it.'
