We're all about the vintage fashions on this blog.

So you can imagine our delight when we happened across thisÌýeyewateringÌýselection of knitwear in a book of EastEnders knitting patterns.ÌýThe only trouble is, we'll have to wait til the long, hot Summer's over to wear em. *Shame*ÌýÌý

Actually, this one isn't that bad... comparably. Which modern-day moody teen could wear this in the style that Mary the Punk? Zsa-Zsa? Teamed with denim cut-offs? With baby George?

In his day, Pat's son Wicksy was the Square's hottest heart throb and it's no surprise in this... sorry, I can't finish this. The geometric patterns are making my eyes go out of focus.

Ian's gran Lou was described as a battleaxe by some but she couldn't half wear a lilac cardie with style. I wonder if she passed this heirloom on to Lucy...some fashions are timeless.

If you think that football and Albert Square are incompatible, then think again!

Who would you choose for your Walford five-a-side? We've picked: Phil 'the hardnut' Mitchell (goal), Minty 'golden balls' Peterson, Lucy Beale (her tackles are legendary), Darren Miller (tasty up the wing) and Janine Butcher (she'll accept nothing but a win... when she's not nipping into the changing rooms to rifle through the rival team's bags)

Who would be on your team? Billy? Ronnie? And who would manage them? Tell us who you'd pick and why...

And if you're a footie fan - flick through the Ìýof footballers and fans...Ìý

The question is: what will the baby be called? Bradlina? Charlie Slater II? Ryanette? What do you think she should call her? Whoever guesses the right name wins no prize, unless you count our eternal admiration and respect.

We on the Enders blog have gotÌýNUFF LOVE for Ricky Norwood aka Fatboy so we were all err up in da house and ting when Ricky droppedÌýby Westwood's studio on 1Xtra.

We tagged along and took some pics

Jump on it!

Is Lucas about to 'fess up to Denise?

"You wanna know what I've done? Everything? You really wanna know? Let's go for a little ride. I'll show you."

Denise. Do not get in that car.

So,ÌýLucas is promising toÌýexplain all. After the events of this week (luring a girl into the wilderness to 'save her') we're worrying that Denise might be wishing that it really was an affair that Lucas had been having all these months...

Vanessa compares Max to... a pot noodle?

"Shall I compare thee to a Summer's Day?" wittered Shakespeare once. Yeah, that's kinda romantic, I suppose. But... methinks Vanessa Gold could do better. Now to what would she compare her new love Max Branning? To a rugged mountain? To a powerful mountain lion? Or... to a pot noodle? ["Just because I've got a fillet steak at home doesn't mean I don't enjoy munching a pot noodle"] Hmm... Max. Think you might have to work harder to impress this one.

And like daughter like mother. Jodie gets her man

"Darren Miller is off women." That was Monday when the World Cup was the all-consuming passion in Darren's life. By Tuesday, he'd given his World Cup fund to Heather for George (aww), and was in hot pursuit of the lovely Jodie Gold, who seems just as keen. Back of the net, Darren!

People of Europe: Lock up your menfolk! Peggy and Pat have broken out of Walford and are on a girl's tour of the continent. They sent us a couple of snaps of what they've been up to. Hmm... been checking out the local attractions have we ladies??

Plus, tell us which Walford resident you'd like to jet off for a spot of sun, sea and sand with...

Tuesday 15 June:

Glass half empty?

The fizz seems to have gone out of Danny's champagne. What's mommy dearest done to burst his bubbly?

Stacey's not feeling the baby love when Jean and Mo throw her a party. What's startled Dot though? She looks like she's sat on a rattle!

Teens in the Woods!

If you go down to the woods today... you ain't gonna find a teddy bear's picnic. Unless Lucy's got a vendetta against said teds, and has laced their picnic lunch with poison.

And so it was, that LucyÌýwent to the New ForestÌýwith the intention of a. getting jiggy with Leon or b. getting even with Leon. Unfortunately for Lucy, Leon chose option b. Unfortunately for Leon, Lucy left him to wander around the woods on his own while everyone else thought he was dead. Now, Lucy's turned everyone against her, even her twin brother. Oops.

WatchÌýbehind the scenes with the teens

Watch them revealÌýtheir greatest fear?

Pat and Peggy go... up West

Ìý

And while the teens were on the loose in the New Forest, Pat and Peggy were painting the town red up West. Then sneaking off to meet their silver-haired fox, two-timing Harvey. Let the cat fight commence!

Highlights:

Pat on Peggy: "The Queen of stale beer and pork scratchings"

Peggy on Pat:Ìý "I'm surprised you're not at Kings Cross at the moment touting for business."
ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý "Talks like a tart and acts like a tart"
ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý "Her bedroom's as busy as Picadilly Circus"

And so Harvey went on to make an indecent proposal and ended up tricked out of his clothes and running out of the Vic in the nude. Ta ta Harvey!Ìý

... And introducing Vanessa GoldÌý

10 seconds on screen and she already had Darren hot and bothered. We like! What do you reckon?

Watch her first photoshoot

Basquing in glory

Things appear to be getting a little fruity at the book club this week. Have they all been reading the Karma Sutra?
