Eastenders: 21 January 2011

The self-imposed ban on Eastenders lasted for all of one and a half episodes, but this seems to have had no effect whatsoever on the producers. Kat and Alfie still think little Tommy is with the angels when really he is with Ronnie, and Carol and Bianca are still dysfunctional in their relationship. Even better, it turns out Sonia's been living in Dagenham for months and left that mythical place - up North, in Manchester - and we are supposed to believe Bianca kept this a secret from everyone for all this time. Hmm. We're left wondering why this strange twist was brought in and can only presume it's because the Dagenham tourist board need a bit of help at the moment.
