While we're still all mourning the loss of Big Brother for another year, Eastenders fits the mood as it drags on from episode to episode forever and ever.
The latest intrigue is set to involve unlikely femme fatale Stacie (yet again; more yawns) and new boy multi-talented Callum who is also the son of Bobby Davro, well, his character, Vinnie. Not only does Callum work for Ian Beale, which is always a difficult proposition, he also teaches Fightercise in the community centre. I doubt many viewers were surprised about this double life as every single member of the cast must have mentioned this class at least ten times before it began so we knew something exciting would happen when they arrived en masse, and lo and behold when Stacie turns up there he is ready to instruct them.
The only bright spot on the Eastenders map is the welcome thought that the latest Mitchell - Archie - will turn out to be the worst one yet. His unprecedented kindness to Billy has not gone unnoticed and in a few weeks, perhaps at Christmas dinner, he will reveal how secretly he hates them all and has stuffed the turkey with arsenic.
