As readers of a recent thread will no doubt be aware, Leslie Grantham is back to play Dirty Den. He says it is to bring some menace into a sinking soap, I think its cuz he's skint. Leslie is well known as murdering a taxi driver whilst serving in Germany for HM Forces. These squaddies..........tut!

Eastenders must be really in trouble: another case of making a very little go a long way.
And I wish he would.

I saw Fort Boyard only to see Melinda Messenger 'bounce' up and down the stairs, and Leslie Grantham tried to look menacing, he was as convincing as a pantomine villain. I still wouldnt have in in MY taxi if I was a cabbie. Wonder if Charlie Slater will do so.

I hope Charlie Slater does let Grantham in his taxi. With a bit of luck Grantham might extend his range of murders and do the whole Slater family.
I bet he has to get the bus to Elstree. Every cabbie in London will be scared to have him in his cab. Did he do it because he didnt want to pay the fare? He should have done his sentence in a German nick were he would have made a great impression on the local german crims not a cushy military prison surrounded by his mates. The murderous old git. His biggest crime is trying to be sophisticated by talking about wine. And the Paradise Club.

I'm quite looking forward to 'believeable' explanation for his return that the scriptwriters are looking for. Oh gosh...... it was all a dream......maybe, or some such other rubbish.

Shot dead, from what I read. My knowledge of soaps is very limited, if afraid.
