Reenie "got herself pregnant"[edit]

This suggests she did it asexually, or that Jim isn't the father of her children, but I don't know how to rephrase it... -Trampikey^{(talk)(contribs)} 14:08, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to suggest "Reenie fell pregnant", but apparently that's offensive to some [1] Gung adin 14:45, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It already says "she had fallen pregnant with his baby (April)"... We haven't mentioned she was an alcoholic either, unless that's figment of my imagination... -Trampikey^{(talk)(contribs)} 14:48, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dont see what's wrong with that sentence. But maybe it could say "Jim put a bun in Reenie's oven" or "Jim porked Reenie, leaving her up the duff". lol

Otherwise, perhaps "Reenie fell pregnant as a result of pre-marrital sex with Jim."Gung adin

Oh and I dont remember anything about her being an alchie, but that doesnt mean she wasnt, I just dont have a good memory of those episodes :) Gung adin 15:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I swear there was something with Max saying Jim gave her booze and let her burn herself in the bath... -Trampikey^{(talk)(contribs)} 15:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Good Lord, look at all the names that have been added to the references on this page. How pointless!! GunGagdin^Moan 23:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The entire credits for the episode. Not necessary. I just realised all four references are for Reenie Branning. Needs changing. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 01:15, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion on Huw Edwards[edit]

Hi just want to say that Huw Edwards needs expanding as he appears for 3 years and has only got that. I'll try and find something.Mayhem Mario 21:44, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah we know he does. You don't have to tell us your plans, you can just do them :-) –anemone projectors– 21:28, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Rose[edit]

This list states on the entry for Michael Rose, that he first appeared on 15 February 1996. But it also states that he is first seen when he is chosen at random to be Terry Raymond's best man. Yet it is stated that Terry Raymond didnt appear until 21 October 1996. So this doesnt make sense. Anyone have any ideas? Bleaney (talk) 13:46, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's obviously storylines before that, just they have been written down, maybe? — M.Mario (T/C) 15:09, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The text clearly states that his FIRST appearance is in connection to Terry. Bleaney (talk) 15:11, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But that's in October, for example look at this — M.Mario (T/C) 15:24, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK ill reword it. Bleaney (talk) 15:37, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was Michael's "random" selection as best man actually random, or is it the opinion of someone writing here? It reads as if it is an opinion, and the selection made no sense to the person who wrote it. But did Terry pick him at random in the show? That could be reworded too. –anemone projectors– 13:28, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reworded. Bleaney (talk) 14:33, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I don't think the word was needed, even if it was Terry's random selection! –anemone projectors– 14:41, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Betty[edit]

You cannot say presumably like that. When they change the facts or make it clear that Betty is not Albet's sister. I mean it bloody ridiculous to suggest that she is 'presumably' his sister! You didn't even watch Arthur Fowler's funeral. --86.135.54.101 (talk) 19:16, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I did watch it, in 1996. But you're the one saying "and presumably a younger sister of her father Albert Beale". I don't know what your problem with the page as it currently stands is. –anemone projectors– 19:52, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What are we doing about Betty now? Should all the relatives listed still be included as per the agreed consensus? Bleaney (talk) 01:16, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest moving her to the "others" section as she appeared in one episode and has no references. Then she won't have an infobox to worry about. –anemone projectors– 09:54, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of EastEnders characters (1985) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 20:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
