The Six Nations game is a one-off however The BBC regained the FA Cup rights this year with that it depends on which game gets picked. Also from Digiuide, it's looking like this week is just a three episode week-at least we know anniversary week might well be a five episode week (which surely they may well have to do with so much to cram in that week storyline wise.). |

Sounds like a good week. It would be really interesting if Tina, the most innocent of the lot, is the one to kill Stan... |

I don't want Stan to have an assisted suicide. It's one more secret the Carters don't need, and for once can a terminally ill soap character actually die of natural causes? It's become a cliche that if they're dying, their actual demise is caused by something else. |

An assisted suicide means a gaggle of more killers walking about the Square. This is getting beyond a joke. DTC needs to rein in the over-egging. |

One of my mum's friends who, like Stan, was also nearing the final stages of terminal cancer chose to be euthanised earlier this month, after putting her affairs in order and spending one last Christmas and New Year with her loved ones. After saying her goodbyes to friends and neighbours, she was allowed to die peacefully at home, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. But I take it from this storyline that the laws about euthanasia are different in the UK, and that Stan would not qualify? |

I've still got PTSD from the Aaron/Jackson plot from Emmerdale a few years ago. I don't want or need to see another assisted suicide storyline, and especially one in a family that are already over saturated with storylines. |

I'm pretty sure it's still illegal here. |

Assisted suicide is a debatable point in the UK, but it is not legal, and the last thing this programme needs is more people on the Square who have been responsible for the death of another person. The number of people living on the Square who have killed another person is now beyond a joke. However debatable this issue is, EastEnders doesn't need to go there. It was done years ago with Ethel. |

While it's a fact that a ridiculous number of Walford residents have been directly or indirectly responsible for someone's death (Nick, Dot, Ronnie, Pam, Martin, Phil, Peter, Ben and Stacey spring to mind), the Ethel storyline does date back to September 2000. As euthanasia apparently still hasn't become legal in the UK 1.5 decades later, it wouldn't be a bad thing if soaps were to keep bringing up the issue occasionally to keep the public debate going. |

This. As much as I hated the fact that Pat's cancer came out of nowhere, at least it was the cancer that killed her. |

Jeff Povey has also Written Thursday 5th February episode and because Richard Lynn has Directed 5 episodes rather than 4 (from Next Thursday.) this means we are at least for now back to 1 Director per week |

Then let Corrie or Emmerdale do it. The number of people who've killed on EastEnders and who are still walking about the Square is beyond a joke. It's something that threatens she show becoming a parody. Oh, wait ... Emmerdale has done this too. This subject was tackled evocatively and brilliantly in the Ethel-Dot storyline 15 years ago. Sometimes, some things don't need repeating. Assisted suicide isn't legal in the UK for various reasons, and and various concerns. Having Stan lower that bombshell last night at the end of the second episode in a family dynamic who have had everything bar the kitchen sink thrown at them this past year is more than a bit de trop. It just risks being one of the many shades of sensationalism, especially for this family, in particular. |

Corrie did it too, a year ago with Hayley Cropper. I'm not opposed to such storylines, but in the case of the Carters I agree it's probably a bit much to be heaping upon them in so short a timespan. But let's see how it pans out... perhaps after weeks of Mick and Tina fretting over Stan's request, they'll find him in his bed one morning, having died peacefully, like Lou Beale. |
