UK Soap TV – Eastenders Episode Review
It was all punches, weddings and revelations in Tuesday’s Eastenders, as the most unlikely affair in soap history finally came to a head.
Some weeks ago, it was revealed that ‘gruff’ divorcee Phil Mitchell was having a wild affair with model-like widow Dawn – unbeknown to her love struck boyfriend Garry. Although Garry’s best friend Minty found out, he vowed to not tell him – but only if she told him herself. Completely torn between her two loves, Dawn scooted off to stay with her mother in the country, but upon her return, none the wiser, Minty pressed Dawn to choose – Phil or Garry?
After having a difficult time coming to a decision, Tuesday’s episode was filled with soapy drama and saw Dawn attempting to explain to Minty that she was having trouble deciding. As she continued, Dawn could see that Minty was growing more angry and suddenly blurted out that she had ended things with Phil and that he was upset at her decision.
Later, Minty saw Phil and Phil insisted he ‘wouldn’t be bothered in the slightest’ if Dawn decided to end things. Angry to find out Dawn hadn’t actually made a decision, Minty finds Dawn and tells her his conversation with Phil and demands she comes clean. But Dawn has other ideas…
Eastenders would certainly not be the UK soap we all know and love without a good brawl, and seething Dawn heads on over to the Vic. She screams at Phil for leading her on and is in shock that he doesn’t care for their relationship. In true Eastenders style, when Phil announces ‘it was only a bit of fun’ Dawn lunges for him. Unfortunately, Phil blocks her punch and Dawn storms out.
Later on in the episode, UK soap star characters Dawn and Garry return to the pub and announce to the whole building – they are getting married.
Although over the moon for Garry, fans can’t help but wonder if this will all come out in the wash… and on the wedding day in true UK soap style.
