@@splinter360 I was going to say this. Not watched any in decades, but the top British soaps all had superb acting, once upon a time. But, to be fair, that's pretty much the way of it now. it's the same with movies. It's only a matter of time before there are CGI scenes in stuff like Eastenders.
@@davedavid6860 Yea. Ross Kemp IS a legend. Great documentaries as you say. But.. we were talking about Grant Mitchell..... got to have a laugh... while you have the chance... life is too short....
The lack of swearing in these soaps is laughable, it’s so untrue to real life. I know it’s a pre-watershed production, but still. I remember once, Phil Mitchell was going to “sort someone out”, he was raging, red in the face, veins bulging on his neck, he was heavily intoxicated and he went hell for leather across Albert Square carrying a golf club. He kicked down someone’s door, burst in and grabbed the guy (I forget who it was) by his shirt and said “Oi! What’s your game?! I’m going to shove this golf club right up your backside” 😂
Mate I said this before, no swearing makes it almost laughable, it should be shown after 9 in order to make it more gritty, in my opinion it should look like the film Nil By Mouth by Gary Oldman, racism, rape, violence, abuse, alcoholism, knife crime, gangs and bad language its should all be on display because that's really life in London (unless you live in Mayfair)
I wonder how and when Eastenders will be axed. They should end it by Walford being wrecked with London 'gentrification' and the locals being forced out and scattered to the four winds as the community is broken up, which sadly is very topical and current in London right now. Bring in a few roadmen and hipsters for good measure.
This Grant return was such a massive letdown. Never thought I'd see the day when this show had fallen so far that even a Grant Mitchell return is a big disappointment. The only thing I liked about his 2016 returns was his interactions with Peggy & his putting the frighteners on those hipster guys in the Vic which reminded me of the good old days of Grant running the Vic.
It wasn’t terrible but I’d use the same words as a massive letdown they had so much potential they could of used with grant but they didn’t I’d of liked him to of had a fight with mick and maybe even try to take the vic of him but instead we got a punch on Ian Beale who let’s be real everyone beats Ian but there were some things I did like which are his scenes with Peggy and Phil also him and Belinda I think they would of made a great couple also him threatening the hipster people.
@Snake 22 It's been declining since that year for sure, that's what I've always said. I don't think it was completely terrible though until around 2011 & it just got worse by the year. I say that because I thought Archie was a brilliant character & a rare highnote in the post-2006 era.
@@NoirFan84 and Carl White. He was a force to be reckoned with, bit stupid how they saw him off in the end, but even Phil couldn’t intimidate him. He was a good and believable villain after Archie
Why didn’t Ben and Jay even think about try and bashing the back doors open so they can make their escape from Paul’s killers sooner instead of just sitting inside their van waiting for Grant to come and rescue them????
@@lickmygooch1013 Definitely. Jones was just creepy, Pascoe was just awful, and Reid, not the worst, but he over-acted way too much. Max Bowden is the only one out of them all who can act
A dramatic tour de force with believable character actors. Not since "Top boy" have I seen anything this harrowing and representative of modern London criminality. 10/10
Not as edgy as it used to be. Grant and Phil's antics used to keep you on the edge of your seat back in the day. It all seems a bit contrived and watered down these days.
Havent watched this show in years even my mother quit watching after that hairy bloke who owned the pub was complaining about their bins every episode, Good to see Ross Kemp again mind, He was like the terminator in the old days getting things sorted.
this scene is Hilarious to be honest Grant looked like he was trying to fight a Ghost when he was swinging the bat around in front of him not to mention him leaving poor Jay to die in the Van 😂😂😂😂
Lol it crossed the line then? Lmao. It’s been woke trash for ages. I remember an episode about 15 years ago when everyone turned their backs and shunned a character because he said something……… you’re not going to believe this…… racist.

Bloody hell, Ben's regenerated more times than The Doctor.
Lmaooo I don’t get why they couldnt get one Ben actor To stick around for more than 5 years besides current maybe let’s see
Hahaha best comment i've seen about Ben Mitchell
Best comment EVER!! Howling 😅😅😅
They’ve changed Ben more times than I’ve change my knickers 😂
This show is like a parody of itself. The acting is on par with Christmas pantos
Seen better acting on pornos with the plumber and the housewife lmao 😅

Grant was waving his arms around like an aircraft Marshall Trying to stop a jumbo jet going through the airport shopping centre.
🤣
“COME ON THEN!”

@@DatActiveGuy no he’s being serious. Don’t disrespect the best acting in Eastenders history.

I haven't watched Eastenders in 15 year's this reminds me why.

But still here watching this?.

Yeah
Great advertisement for not paying the license fee.

Nothing beats the Grant catching Phil and Sharon episodes
Last time I saw Eastenders, Ben was a baby. Man, time flies.
I don't watch Eastenders anymore and I have no idea how I made it here but Ben has been played by like 20 actors, he seemed to change every episode!
You aint missed much
When I first started Ben was a different person. Am sure he's the secret Dr who. Different person every few years but keeps the same spirit.

Don't watch BBC and haven't watched EastEnders in like 5 years. To me it looks like the dialog and filming quality are now at Hollyoaks level
This was 6 years ago, God knows how bad it is now lol
Worse hollyoaks are now national soap award winners. Eastenders are lucky to beat doctors!!! 😂😂😂

Ah yes, DATE. I remember it well. I mean, who could forget?
Ben was like some sort of Pokemon or some shit. He'd change form/actor/ appearance and get a little more powerful each time he did.

"its time to get out of here " classic ross kemp line
I wish we got a Coronation Street/Eastenders crossover so Grant could fight Jim McDonald.
Be the ultimate soap fight so it would.
I'd watch that for Jim's accent alone 😂
