@@helmutschmacker3791 no, you have just grown up and have adult feelings towards things, memories not warper by nostalgia, hence why its always things in the past we cling to like that even those these things are happening every day
@@joshuamason8992 scenes and camera angles are shot differently, dialogue is less with less substance, no music in the pubs in clubs and cafe anymore no notable london sights like the double decker bus and train shown anymore like golden era, actors look less genuine and have no tie to east end then early 90s 00s, set and setting looks artificial compare to golden days, the best actors have aged and least their prime and pillars of walford community all gone, not just nostalgia of being young the show is a shadow of its former self
Now it all looks superficial and even the crowds they gather together for a party or event looks so muddled and unrealistic p, extras were picked better before also music was played in the background all the time not anymore
@@eastenders4k251 ahh shit you missed out on a fantastic era for EE 💪 2000 - 2005 really was one of the best eras! 2003 was brilliant when it came to the gangster scenes like Dalton, I was born in 1993 watched the show from late 2000, I lost interest after 2006 didn't feel like that classic EE anymore :/
@die hard 1999 was a phenomenal year! We'll never get something like that again! Steve Killing Saskia was one of the best storylines on the show for definite
Me and my brother used to eat people like you for breakfast. Always knew Grant would come back one day. they always mentioned him and didn’t let him fade from memory
@@Davidp1985 I think this Era with Kate Oats at the helm is pulling itself back strongly, but i can't disagree it's had a really rough time, and just some utter shit over the past few years. all the soaps have :'(. It happens when something is as continuous as a these soaps over almost the course of 40+ years
@@jaidenhunter6385 yes gone are the days of the real characters of soaps especially Eastenders there is not a ounce of London life about it. They need to make it more realistic and more like it was in the 80s and 90s through some of the 00s cause it has become really bad to watch and you just think really? Is this it? Gone are the days when all of Britain were on edge waitng for the climax of a storyline. It's not the case now and that's very sad
@@Davidp1985 Ye, it's sad really. Recently i've been enjoying it a ton. reminds me of the old days a bit. I love the experimental episodes and that. But over the years I have not enjoyed watching certain eras, A lot of influence has to do from the viewers and society which sucks. but its fine i guess
No worries mate! I think a lot of people has been wanting to see them again, and their already on RU-vid pal heres the link 😊ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sv0iFkWGLFU.html
Jack Dalton went too soon , he is one of the very few villains Phil couldn't take on his own . They should of got rid of Andy Hunter instead and have Jack square off against Johnny Allen
Well, it's weird because... Andy literally only took over after Jack died. Which means he had the same amount of power Jack had, which means Johnny Allen was a station above even Jack. Weird how Phil felt Jack was a bigger threat then Johnny then, maybe Jack was just more efficient?
@@Darskul As the comment above stated, Andy was not up to the job, if you think of it in mafia terms Andy was like a 'consigliere' to Jack, he was a good advisor & more level-headed man on the street for Jack but he was not a man to step into the shoes of a ruthless violent crime boss, he was not able to earn the respect of the gang & they didn't fear overthrowing him so that's what they did. Jack was an active crime boss that this time & had a crew, when Johnny came to the square he had no crew & was looking to retire from all that. Jack was definitely more intimidating & psychotic than Johnny, it totally makes sense to me Phil was more fearful of him.
@@Darskul I think there’s a few reasons why Phil feared Jack more than Johnny 1) It is heavily implied that Phil had worked for or at least been associated with Jack in the past. He obviously knew just what Jack was capable of and the depths he’d stoop too. Jack was a sadistic, cruel man who couldn’t be trusted - he even had absolutely no qualms in ordering Dennis’ death and it was openly stated that Jack considered Dennis to be the son he’d never had. Phil probably knew that all it would take is one slip up or mistake and he’d be a dead man 2) When Johnny came to Albert square he wasn’t actively involved in the gangster lifestyle anymore, he openly stated he was retiring from it and trying to be a better father figure for his daughter. Phil probably saw that Johnny wasn’t the man he once was. With regards to Andy being at his power level while technically yeah that’s true in terms of his position as the boss of The Firm after Jacks death, he obviously wasn’t capable of commanding the respect or fear from the people who worked for him like Jack did. He just wasn’t as hard or as cruel hearted a man as Jack and this led to his crew deeming him as being too soft.
@@gravy180rs Phil said himself just how evil and dangerous Dalton was. He told Alfie and Spencer to ask Minty to show him the scars he got off Jack once. Phil said "And Minty is a big bloke" implying he got bested by Jack. Phil said Jack was bombproof and he to Jack's henchman George that he knew Jack would have him cut in half but Phil had the bottle to face him. Phil understandably schmoozed round Jack, as he knew Jack would be Phil's worst ever enemy if he dissed him.
Can you get Hold of the Teaser Trailer of the Mitchells returning to take on Johnny Allen. It was on BBC1 it was Phil and Grant walking down the steps of the snooker hall and out onto the square
These are the songs featured in the video, I have to agree with the general jist of the comments they're certainly 2000's party bangers 0:00 Basement Jaxx- Romeo 0:39 Sugababes- Freak Like Me 2:19 Daniel Beddingfield- Gotta Get Thru This 2:31 Sophie Ellis Bextor- Murder on The Dance Floor 2:57 Daniel Beddingfield- If You're Not The One
Great, mate, cheers. There was a bit more to this mini-feud too wasn't there as I recall? Phil went to see Jack again & asked him to call George off but Jack told Phil no & that you embarrassed him so he's your problem. Also a scene of Phil returning home & thinking someone has broke in so grabbed a baseball bat from behind the couch but I think it was just Kate wasn't it? It's been 17 years so my memory is a bit cloudy but I think that's what happened.
No problem mate, I think you've been after this for a while now right? And ah yeah I just looked into that, it was the 27th of May, I can upload it for ya if ya want me to? And yeah I think ya right mate it was Kate
@@eescenes85 Yeah, you should upload it & put it under 'Phil's baseball bat's first appearance'. 🤣🤣 I remember Grant had a baseball bat in the Vic back in the day but I'm sure it was the first time we saw that famous bat of Phil's which he went on to pull out a few more times in the years that followed. Thanks, mate.
@@stuartwinter8900 Haha. Jack was great. He was too hardcore to keep around for more than a few episodes though I think, he'd have killed off half the square inside of a year. LOL.
@@eescenes85 Actually, I just remembered, Phil smashed up the Car Lot with his baseball bat in around 2000 or 01, didn't he, so he had pulled it out before. Haha. My mistake.
Foreigners crying rascism every two minutes has ruined this country with its WOKE rubbish. These days were brillant now you have paki's spitting and smelling BO on the square@@usmanmukhtar5267
It annoys me that characters like Dennis Rickman and Carl White were killed off and now you have the most boring characters like Kush still mucking around after 6 years when they should have got rid of him at least 3 years ago now.
Yeah Dalton was scary, I’d even go as far as saying outright sadistic. I think he had a heart in there somewhere tho, it’s obvious he genuinely cared for Dennis and acted as a father figure for him when he was growing up.
@@gravy180rs until he ordered a hit on Dennis just because Dennis wanted out of the underworld. Jack didn't have a heart, not even for Dennis. He only acted as a father figure for Dennis just to groom Dennis into being his loyal and tamed underling/puppet/dog, not because of genuine care for him. Nevertheless, Jack was a brilliant villain.
