Eastender’s Monthly Update — May 2012
OVER THE years, many Mitchells have come and gone in Albert Square; they barge in everyone’s business, do a lot of shouting, a bit of threatening, throw their weight around and leave mostly fear and loathing in their psychotic wakes. But Ben Mitchell started out different; the one-time sweet, twinkle toes Ben, son of Kathy, [...]

IN THE SQUARE, the more things change, the more they stay the same (ain’t it the truth) … The Mitchells have trouble with the truth: Ben’s exaggerations to DI Marsden have put Phil in jail good an proper. And as he sits there he is refusing to see Shirley, thinking her disloyal because she knew [...]
Eastender’s Monthly Update — March 2012
HOW COULD we have forgotten to mention this last month?: In February, an anniversary passed us by that I thought we should take note of: February 19, 1985 was the day when EastEnders was first broadcast in the United Kingdom. It was that day that Den, Arthur and Ali kicked in the door of Reg [...]
Eastender’s Monthly Update — February 2012
CHRISTMAS served up it’s typical Walford tradition (tragedy), while New Year’s brought the end of an earring, that’s for sure… Turns out it was Ben who’s been stalking Phil. Yep, the rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the psychotic tree. And his last act may just put Phil in jail: He sent Denise a thumb [...]

AH KARMA: It’s a bitch, innit? Phil Mitchell is being stalked, poor dear: Someone who obviously knows a lot about him is on a campaign to put the frighteners on him, sending him anonymous letters mentioning the crimes he’s committed, but the Old Bill don’t know about: Torching the car lot, getting Kevin Wicks killed [...]
Eastender’s Monthly Update — December 2011
SOMETHING ODD is happening in Albert Square (or in the writers’ room); Suddenly swans are a topic of conversation. Four different times in the last month or so. From Tamwar talking about their mating habits to Big Mo buying what she thinks is a very large turkey to serve in the Vic (which turns out [...]
Eastender’s Monthly Update — November 2011
WHO KNOWS what ee-ville lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows (as does the doctor and the neglected son)… Even though Fatboy has become a boarder in her home, Dot is feeling like an empty nester, what with Jim in the Care Home, and the miscellaneous Brannings scattered here and there, so she [...]
Eastender’s Monthly Update — October 2011
THIS MONTH, we’d like to take a little break from the everyday romance and mayhem of Albert Square to tell you about something special that we’ve been working on here at the E20 Launderette Institute for EastEnders Research. It is a Special Edition of The E20 Chronicles to benefit Children In Need. If you’ve been [...]
Eastender’s Monthly Update — September 2011
THIS MONTH is comings and goings and enough long-lost relatives to fill all the milk cartons in the Minute Mart… Just as Janine is drawing very close to her Gran, and having a real, loving relationship, she dies. While Janine is despondent, Pat speculates she killed her to collect from the will, and even though [...]
Eastender’s Monthly Update — August 2011
WHY DO these manipulative no-goodniks keep turning up in Albert Square, and why can’t they leave the sweet, innocent residents of Walford alone? Well, what would be the fun in that?… Tamwar and Afia’s fake wedding Mendi finally takes place and in true Albert Square tradition there’s a big bustup. Dr Evil takes the occasion [...]
