There may be some truth in it, Stonks. I think Jessie was a bit of a handful during her last stint on EE. Hopefully, she's older and wiser now.

I liked her in it, one thing the cast want to remember is the Emerdale plane crash, if they start demanding EE might have a disaster to get rid of the moaners....

Yes, they need to remember that nobody is indispensible.

Let's hope so!

I didn't like her Stonks.When she was on talk shows etc. She gave the air of a diva and thought she was better than the rest, when really she is just an average run of the mill  actress.I don't like the thought of her coming back. I do like the thought of the cheeky chappie Alfie Moon being in it though, I thought that part was just right for Shane Ritchie.

Much the same here sezit, though I would prefer her to the absolutely shockingly bad actress that is Barbara Windsor

I did once read that the other cast members were fed up (way back) as the Slaters always seemed to get the best story lines and everything was about them...

i liked her character in the show and her partnership with Alfie was great

obviously i can't comment on her "off-screen" attitude and have rarely seen her interviewed

but, can i just say, Julie Goodyear (Bet Lynch) makes Babs Windsor look like Dame Judy Dench

Yeah it's probably true.. I really like Jessie although she has her reputation and Kat Slater is just class. Babs Windsor is so two faced, she didn't get on with Jessie behind the scenes and now she's clearing off praising the decision EE bosses made in having the person she didn't like back.


Samantha Womack is another one who's rumoured to be difficult but seems nice in interviews, apparently it was lots of backstage arguing with Maggie O'Neill that got the awful Suzy axed.

One wonders who do Ken Barlow/Dev make look like Ashley Walters/Max Beesley ?

Pat St Clement is my fav EE oldie, she's fab.

I liked her character but all the slaters did seem to think they were above other cast members, I think half of them were sloshed half the time....

The Slaters were a welcome relief from the endless gangster storylines.

I don't think William Roach is acting when he's being Ken, everytime I've seen him on TV (not Corrie!) he's just the same...

Slightly O/T but the reason I mentioned the latter two is after a debate between Mrs Joe and I as to who has the most facial expressions. Mrs Joe reckons they are both the same but I think Asher D wins by three to two.

Woo! I hope she divas up the place and makes everyone pull their socks up, might keep Eastenders interesting

EE is always interesting. Loving Emmerdale right now also.

I don't really watch the soaps anymore but did dip in and out of EE this past storyline but Emerdale has become as depressing and dark as EE, Emerdale has seemed to have gone back to Emerdale farm....

Corrie hasn't exactly been a barrel of laughs neither also so it's all of them, however the climax of the Simon story looks interesting.


Becky does my head in so much now.

I just cant watch Corrie, it bores the crap outta me....

Max and Stacey two hander spoiler.


max face to face with stacey

Yes it has!
At the risk of repeating m'self. Dev has us in stiches.

Then again Corrie is a comedy.. EE best at the drama.


Both different shows yet people can't help compare them.


corrie writer joins eastenders team


Brill news.

I didn't mind Jessie Wallace and Shane Ritchie as an onscreen partnership......but I'm getting a bit fed up with the Slaters tbh....and as for that piece of acting wood that is Max....ugh!
My worst nightmare is a whole episode with only Stacey and Max in it....I'll give that one a miss and watch some paint dry instead

"She was a complete nuisance when she was on the show. It would be a disaster for her to come back.

Oh dear!

she is looking great though ..... she's lost loads of weight

At least one person pleased to see Jessie back is Lacey Turner (Stacey Slater) as Jessie is her favourite actress.

I was just saying that yesterday! I hate Becky right now

EE is the biggest load of crap on tv,lol

Zoe Slater was one of the most annoying, wooden, over rated bints to ever appear on my tele.

Kat & Alfie are 2 of my most favourite characters eva!

Agree - why are all the blokes knuckleheads? Why do all the women look as if they wash their hair in chip fat and sharpen their faces on granite?

Surely anything with The Ant and Dec
