I'm sick of the B+B.

Just a lazy plot device.

A V A

is it just me or could anybody else imagine the old actor that played bobby going on the way the new actor is, i now see why they change characters etc

IvySlayer

This Tony story seems interesting, the last one was entertaining at least.

I guess Tiff and Bobby will run away together.

Seriously though! I don't look at the show but came out there and seen her sitting in a pub I think with some lad. He was saying something to her, she looked worried and then he started eating a burger.

What's the story there? They do all these deaths and what not but weight isn't something you see often in these soaps. It's particularly relevant now with the whole baby weight thing with Kate Middleton.

She got a letter from someone who abused her when she was younger.

That explains it so. Stress related weight gain I suppose you'd call it.

(I was wondering why she gained the weight since I last saw her. It seems its part of the storyline about her abuse)

Why do you seem obsessed with
- weight issues being brought into story lines (not sure what you mean tbh)
- kate middletons weight loss
- Whitney gaining weight because she got a letter?

No. I was wondering why she gained the weight.

Someone said that she found out she was abused so I assume she out on the weight because she was stresses out.

I was talking about Midfleton because of the fuss about her baby weight. So I suppose this is a good storyline to have because people put on weight. It's also good that she agreed to it as well because all these people in soaps shouldn't be slim or too slim.

Did she agree to it or did the actress just gain weight? Whitneys weight always seemed to fluctuate, I don't think there's got to be an underlying cause for it, is all.

There's far too much emphasis placed on weight in the media and real life, as it is, tbh. Kind of refreshing not having it being centre of a story line on the soaps too

JP Liz V1

Surely Whitney couldn't get a prison visit to see Tony her abuser

Yeah I dunno that's why I was wondering to begin with. She blew up since I saw her and thought your man eating the burger had something to do with it. She looked sad when he was eating and she wasn't.

JP Liz V1

The actress who plays Whitney was suspended from the show for a month for being late

I think she has a good body, a lot more attractive than Lucy, now she really could do with eating a burger.

JP Liz V1

Why is Ian so down on Bianca (he is her Uncle) after all Jean and Shirley were there too

Googled her. Yes. Her head looks big. And it still looks big after she lost weight but you can see bones sticking out of her back!

Some say she's anorexic. Others say she's bulimic. Some say she's naturally like that. I don't think so though. The head doesn't match the body.

I'm not being harsh but, please be quiet about peoples weight. It's a stupid topic and offensive.

They're actors/actresses, they live real lives too. Talking about there weight has zero relevance to the story line or anything.

True. I asked because I thought that Whitney one blew up for a role. But it's probably the pill or something.

No harm

Why can't you accept that someone gained weight without it having an underlying cause? How do you know she's on the pill? You sound as though you don't even watch the show only once in the blue moon.

That's it I don't. Just seen she was blew up since I last noticed her. I just though it was part of the show. But ye seem to think it isn't. That's all I was asking. And sure there's a cause for everything. Whether she gained it for the show or not there's a reason whether it be eating too much, not exercising,etc.

But that's the matter now. I dropped in to ask.

people think I look like Amy Lee too and I would die from mortification if that meant I looked like Whitney.

What's wrong with looking like Whitney?

The Whitney/Tony story-line should be much better than the Ian/Jean/Bianca restaurant fiasco story!

I don't see where they can go with it TBH, he is dead now.

Anyway it seemed a bit strange that she was the one he abused yet she was allowed to just walk in and ask to see him...

God that Denny is a right little spoilt brat, and peroxide miss piggy thinking he can do no wrong.

AT LAST, the news we all be waiting for

EastEnders' executive producer Lorraine Newman leaving soap

EastEnders' executive producer Lorraine Newman has announced that she is leaving the soap after 16 months in charge.

Newman has been part of the BBC show since joining as a script secretary 23 years ago, rising through the ranks to take on the top job in 2012.

EastEnders' former series story producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins will be taking over as executive producer.

Revealing her decision, Newman said today (July 29): "I have loved every moment of my time at EastEnders, but it is finally time to leave Walford.

"Over the past 23 years, I have been involved in some of the best moments on British television, from 'Who Shot Phil?', to 'You Ain't My Mother!', to the 25th live anniversary episode and in the past year, the Olympic Torch episode has also been a proud highlight.

"Over the past year, I have also had the pleasure of planning and implementing the revival of many of the EastEnders clans who should always be at the heart of the show. I am confident that I am leaving the show in a stronger place and am sure that Dominic will continue to build upon this, taking the show to a new level.

"I am delighted to be joining BBC Drama Production as an executive producer and look forward to the new opportunities and projects this will bring."

Kate Harwood, Head of BBC Drama Production, added: "I want to thank Lorraine very deeply on behalf of the BBC for the work she's done on EastEnders over many years.

"From the beginning her love of the programme and her attention to detail has been part of the warp and weft of life in Walford, and for seven years her work as series producer drove quality and provided great strength at the core of the show.

"Since early 2012, Lorraine took on the job of executive producer and led from the front the team she knows so well, both to Bafta glory and Christmas ratings success. EastEnders will miss Lorraine very much indeed but I am delighted she is joining the Series and Serials side of In-House Drama as an executive producer."

EastEnders' new boss Treadwell-Collins worked on the show for four and a half years from October 2005. He was originally senior story editor but went on to secure the post of story producer in 2006.

During that time, he created the characters of Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell and Shirley Carter. He also worked on a number of memorable storylines, including Syed Masood's struggle with his sexuality, Ronnie's secret daughter, Stacey's bipolar disorder and Archie Mitchell's murder.

Since 2010, Treadwell-Collins has been working as Head of Development at production company Lovely Day.

Speaking today, he commented: "You never really leave EastEnders - and for the past three years, the characters have all stubbornly stayed in my head. I'm sad to be leaving Lovely Day, especially at such a fertile time for the company, but am excited about the challenge of taking the helm of Britain's greatest drama.

"It is an honour to follow someone as talented and experienced as Lorraine and I'm looking forward to building on her work and taking this iconic and essential show into 2014 and beyond, as we look to EastEnders' 30th anniversary in 2015."

I wonder who be axed first

Who I think might be on a axed list!
Masood, AJ, Tam, Alice, Joey, Poppy, Ava. Dexter and Sam

Your man was his cell mate. He could have died between him trying to convince Whitney to take the letter and her asking to visit.

Galwayguy35

Ronnie Mitchell is returning, not sure when though.

I'd suck the farts out of Whitney bumbum
