I haven't watched now since Lou Beale was in the Land Army but may tune in to see Pauline's demise.
Any truth that her brain hemorrhage is caused by a fatal blast from Sonia's trumpet? Or that, after her face lift, Wendy Richard returns as her long lost twin? (ala Mrs Mac in Take The High Road?).
Wonder how they'll explain Michelle's absence from the funeral.

How can it get less shit? Well, they just killed Pauline off, so that's a good start. Only another fifty or so characters to go, then.

Wonder how they'll explain Michelle's absence from the funeral. They probably won't even mention it. Having not watched for years, I tuned in to see Pauline die and will promptly stop watching again. The only character I like is poor damaged Stacey and seeing Bradley being a cock and his dad being a sleaze means I don't want to follow her storyline. It'll all come out in the open, it'll be all 'she's a dirty little slut,' she'll have a big crying jag with a bottle of meths sitting in the gutter under the Arches. It's all so depressing and predictable.

I was thinking over Christmas how barren the Slater family Christmas was.
Where were Alkie, Draggy, Battered, Teeny and The Fifth one? Was there any explanation as to why they didn't come home?

A way that Eastenders could be less shit would be for them to do something more imaginative with Stacey. She is by a mile the best character and actress in the programme and yet the writers seem determined to turn her into a junior version of Kat. All they need now is for Charlie to get her up the stick and then pass the baby off as the child of her mentalist mother.
If she MUST sleep with someone old and disgusting please make it Phil purely so that he can install her in the Vic and then she can take up her rightful postion as the only acceptable successor to the mighty Chrissie Watts.

EastEnders giveth (Pauline's dead! Hurrah!) and it taketh away (the wonderful Stacey is a slut who'll shag her ex's dad! Boo!). Didn't see anything here that made me want to start tuning in again.

I was a little bit disappointed by Pauline's death, as I was hoping that Betty would run away from her before it happened, thus proving that even canines find Pauline intolerable.
I was impressed by Martin's suddenly acquired mad doctor skillz, somehow managing to estabilsh that Pauline was dead without visibly checking for breath or a pulse. As my brother put it, "Sonia the nurse stands at the back and does nothing while the bloke who sells apples pronounces her dead."

Max is vile. He simultaneously manages to pull off the three classic hair "no-no"s: He is ginger and greying and balding. Although I've never been lucky enough to see it for myself, I imagine his head bears a striking resemblance to Charles Kennedy's scrotum.

EastEnders giveth (Pauline's dead! Hurrah!). Ding dong! The witch is dead! Which old witch? The wicked witch! Ding dong! The wicked witch is dead! But yes, unfortunately, they're trying to turn Stacey Slater into Kat Slater. And that can only be a bad thing.

Once again a decent female character is turned into a hateful shell of a woman. And as my brother pointed out the other day that in true Eastenders fashion the only woman who has made something of herself and got a decent career has been pusnished for such a crime by not being able to have kids. The only cure for that is to have a drunken fumble with Phil Mitchell... but only after you get struck off and are forced to take Paulines job in the laundrette.

You mean that EastEnders is basically Daily Mail Island?
According to Teletext, Pauline was definitely murdered. Although I don't see how. I'm quite confused. Perhaps they mean killed. You've got to be pretty confident in your medical knowledge to deliberately cause a brain haemorrage that will occur before your victim is able to blab about it.

If Pauline's death is as a result of her pathetic one-two with Sonia on Christmas Day, I will be so annoyed. I haven't seen such woefully poor bitch slapping since Angels in Chains.

She is by a mile the best character and actress in the programme and yet the writers seem determined to turn her into a junior version of Kat. But we didn't want the old Kat. When she came back no-one cared and she went away. We were happy. Stacey was happy. Everyone was happy.

I've not watched it for a few days and saw a clip last night on Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe, where Paulie and Sonia were arguing (before the slap) and you could see Rebecca's in the mirror stood behind Sonia, which I didn't notice before.
Is this common knowledge or have I uncovered the twist?

No, Rebecca has already said "I saw you hit granny pauline". I think Sonia might bump off Rebecca now.

Yes, crowbarred in. I didn't hear what it was, but saw Martin taking a call.

Yes, we just had Martin on the phone to her saying "I can't believe you're not coming to Mum's funeral" or something like that.
Pauline can't have died cos of that slap from Sonia, surely? There has to be some other explanation...I hope so. Someone unexpected.

Given that Michelle has missed the funerals of her father and brother you'd have thought Martin would've got a little bit more annoyed at her missing her mother's as well. Still, at least she kept Vicki back there with her.
