All washed upPhil's behaviour has been panned by all around him, and now it's Peggy's turn to show him what a drip he's been. But who has she enlisted to get him back on track?
Who's the Daddy?Ryan's stag do must have been extra low budget - looks like the luvved-up lad was forced to double up as his own strippergram! Ricky seems very happy, but without seeing what exactly's going on behind the bushes, we really wouldn't want to speculate why...

Summer? Really? What a wash out of an August it's been. But don't let that get you down. Take shelter in the café like , "I ain't Beale's biggest fan, but hungry times calls for a 'BEALE-L-T'!".

Meanwhile reached new heights of sleaze as he tweeted, "Is there a point to monogamy? Is itÌýnatural for us humans? Or is it something women have invented to control us?" Umm, did you forget your girlfriend follows you on Twitter?! The poor girl's oblivious to his obnoxiousness as she smiles and carries on alone with "a peppermint tea and a snuggle in bed with a good book".

Maybe Stevie needs a bit ofÌýfun in her life. Rather than a nice hot drink and an early night, when Naz gets bored she shakes her stuff to Ciara 'Ride It'. She tweeted "My legs hurt...but I look hawt!". Blimey.

In what will surely be music to everyone's ears,
Peggy Mitchell's final
EastEnders episode is set to feature an alternative version of Simon May's iconic theme tune.
'Peggy's Theme' is a reworking of the show's long-standing alternative tune, known as 'Julia's Theme', which traditionally features at the climax of very major episodes.
Barbara Windsor, who plays Peggy, revealed she would be leaving EastEnders last October, with her last episode set to be screened next month.
Check out our special
Goodbye Peggy Mitchell section of the site, featuring classic clips, fun features and the chance to 'Heart Peggy'.

What a week it's been...
's tried his luck with on a bus with the irresistible line, "In there like swimwear". Much to our surprise, hung-over Naz didn't take too kindly to that and tweeted back, "Unless he got an aspirin and a fryup, he ain't what I need right now". Is the romance dead before it's even begun?
Meanwhile trouble was brewing between love birds and . Although Stevie was momentarily distracted by micro pigs, Neil Buchanan and a screaming ginger lady (Bianca?), she tweeted about Olly from across the same room. A frosty response from Olly; "Don't you think it's so annoying when someone tweets you even though they're right next to you". Urgh, what a moron. And to make matters worse, Olly seems to be interested in the older ladies of Albert Square. Watch out Dot!
Don't forget it's #FollowFriday. Show sum luv for @manlikefatboy, @stevie4olly, @badgal_naz and @ollymanhall.

Something in between folk and dubstep. Folkstep?".

Big congrats to actor Perry Fenwick, who reached an incredible EastEnders milestone last week, after filming his 1000th episode as hapless Billy Mitchell!
Perry, snapped on set with Jamie Borthwick and Steve McFadden, has been playing Billy for an amazing eleven years now. Judging by the smile on his face, he's still having plenty of fun with the role.
"Seeing as I was originally signed up for four episodes, 996 episodes later, I still haven't been found out!" Perry revealed. "I'm absolutely delighted and can't wait to tell my mum!"
EastEnders' Executive Producer Bryan Kirkwood was on hand to congratulate sharp-suited Perry during filming.Ìý "In one thousand episodes of EastEnders, Perry has created a true Walford icon," Bryan told us. "Billy is the most loveable loser on British TV and despite a thousand episodes of bad luck, the audience are still willing him to succeed."
Let's hope we'll be marking Perry's 2000th ep in a few years time!
What's been your favourite Billy moment? Let us know!
