Things are looking dark indeed for BBC bosses, after more and more reports have emerged of sexual abuse behind the scenes at the channel.
We reported yesterday that after the Jimmy Savile furore broke out, an un-named TV actor had been arrested for the rape of a 14 year old boy back in 2010, and this comes after news earlier this year that Eastenders star Joshua Pascoe had also been arrested for an alleged sexual assault.
Last week, EastEnders fans were treated to seven episodes of the hit soap, with last night’s double bill seeing returnee Sharon hopping on the good foot and doing the bad thing with Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and Ben Mitchell confessing to the police that he murdered Heather.
The build up to both of the show’s Big Week plotlines has of course been large, and the show’s bosses were rewarded with unusually high viewing figures all week…
But what did you think of the week’s shows? Were they worth all the hype?
Well I have to say, I think they were. I’ve been gripped all week, and have only wished that each episode was an hour long instead of half an hour.
Sharon’s return – at first – I thought was asking us to suspend our disbelief somewhat, given that she simply abandoned her obviously much loved son Dennis at the venue where she should have been marrying fiancé John… Read more & comment »
Jay Mitchell has of course been an unwilling accessory to murder – both during and after the fact – in as much as he’s known all along that it was Ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe) who murdered poor old Hev…
However, during this week’s special week of episodes, Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) is finally going to learn the truth, and of course, the revelation rocks not only her, but also the rest of the Square when it becomes public knowledge that it was indeed Ben who ended Heather’s life.
But initially, when Shirley discovers the photo frame that was used to kill Heather – and she tracks it back to having been in the Mitchell house – she jumps to the conclusion that it must have been Phil (Steve McFadden) who murdered Heather… Read more & comment »
Well EastEnders fans, this is the week we’ve all – well, I have – been looking forward to when not only is Sharon back baby yeah, but also Ben Mitchell will finally be fingered…
As Heather’s murderer!
We have episodes on every night this week, but better yet, tonight and on Friday, there are TWO episodes! Ah BBC, with all this EastEnders, you are really spoiling us. However, there are changes to the timeslots of when and where they’ll air, and you can see the line up – and a spoiler clip – after the jump.
But first, as to Sharon’s (Letitia Dean) return tonight, she’s going to waste no time getting into a romantic tryst, despite the fact that she arrives in Walford on what should have been her wedding day!
However, that tryst occurs with Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) who may or may not also be bonking Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace). Click on ‘Read more’ to see the piccies… Read more & comment »
Fans of EastEnders have been patiently waiting for the moment that Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) learns the horrible truth about the death of her BFF Heather Trott, which is of course that Ben Mitchell murdered her, and his dad Phil and foster brother Jay helped cover up his crime…
Well sports fans, that moment is nigh, and will come in a week of special episodes as of August 13th, which will also see the return of Letitia Dean to the show and her role as Sharon Rickman.
The climax to one of the show’s biggest ever storylines comes when Shirley pays a visit to Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and is horrified to see a photo frame that used to belong to Heather sitting on Denise’s mantelpiece… Read more & comment »

As fans of EastEnders will know, August has been so far, and will continue to be, one of the busiest and most dramatic months we’ve seen on the show for a while…
Not only has Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) returned this month – but is weirdly still in the same skanky clothes and doesn’t appear to have even washed since he got back to the Square – but also Sharon Rickman (Letitia Dean) is coming back on the 13th!
However, on the subject of Ian Beale, he’s set to “freak out” when, while attending Phil and Shirley’s engagement party, he spots a portrait of Shirley and Heather that Patrick (Rudolph Walker) commissioned as a gift for the bride to be.
And of course, before Ian (Adam Woodyatt) went AWOL from Walford earlier this year, his half-brother Ben (Joshua Pascoe) confessed to Ian that he’d killed Hev… Read more & comment »
As we reported recently, Shirley Carter is in for an über dramatic couple of weeks, because not only will she propose to her boyfriend Phil Mitchell, she’ll also – finally! – discover that his son Ben murdered Heather Trott…
And as if that wasn’t enough for poor old Shirl to cope with, thrown into the mix will be jealousy when Phil (Steve McFadden) ditches their engagement party when his former mistress Sharon Rickman (Letitia Dean) sends him an SOS message.
Speaking to Soaplife, Linda Henry began by revealing what happens in the build up to the dramatic moment that her character Shirley realises that Ben (Joshua Pascoe) killed Heather.
She began by explaining the rooftop proposal to Phil, saying, “She’s doing a sponsored abseil to raise money for Hev’s son George, but she’s terrified of heights… Read more & comment »
There’s a good deal of drama ahead for Walford’s Shirley Carter, and it begins with the return of Sharon Rickman, who of course once had an affair with Shirley’s bloke, Phil Mitchell.
And Sharon’s timing couldn’t be worse as far as Shirley’s concerned, because next week, we’ll see her propose to Phil (Steve McFadden) and when he accepts, the couple happily celebrate their engagement with a party in the Vic.
However, a distress call from Sharon (Letitia Dean) sends Phil running to her aid, despite the fact it’s literally in the middle of his own engagement celebration, and not unreasonably, that leaves Shirley rather unimpressed.
As fans will know, Sharon’s return will be marked by episodes on seven consecutive night as of August 13th, and it’s also during the special week that Shirley will learn that Ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe) murdered her BFF, Heather Trott… Read more & comment »

Life for Jay Mitchell (Jamie Borthwick) is really only just settling down into a relatively normal pattern since the horrific murder of Heather Trott…
He has of course struggled with his conscience over the fact that he was there when she died, having witnessed nutcase Ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe) smack her on the head with a photo frame.
But next week, that frame is going to come back to haunt Jay when he finds it hidden under Ben’s bed.
As you may recall, at the time of the murder, Ben’s dad Phil (Steve McFadden) told him to weight down the frame and chuck it in the canal, but for whatever reason, he didn’t and stashed it at home instead… Read more & comment »

Over the course of the next couple of months, EastEnders’ bulldog-chewing-a-wasp character Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) is set to put all the pieces together and figure out that Ben Mitchell murdered Heather Trott…
Her first clue comes in a forthcoming episode in which she discovers the photo frame that Ben (Joshua Pascoe) used to clock Heather upside the head, prompting her to fall and fatally hit her head on the kitchen worktop.
But of course, Ben’s dad Phil (Steve McFadden) and his adopted brother Jay (Jamie Borthwick) already know that Ben’s a killer, but so far, they’ve managed to connive and deceive enough so that Ben’s not even on the radar over the slaughter… Read more & comment »
Oh dear, it would seem as though the very fragile world of Jay Mitchell is about to come tumbling down around him in EastEnders when girlfriend, Abi Branning, announces that she is off to Costa Rica on a scholarship.
Jay (Jamie Borthwick) is still feeling the pressures of the harpooning of Heather Trott, and his relationship with Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) has been the only thing holding him together, so when she reveals her plans, he resorts to a pretty desperate measure to get her to stay, a marriage proposal!
