Lacey Turner & Gillian Wright are phenomenal actresses on their own, but when they’re together my god, it’s on another level, 2 of the best actresses EastEnders have ever had 👏🏻🙌🏻
I haven't watched Eastenders in YEARS but, because I know the history of Jean and Stacey ; I was getting emotional watching this scene! Poor Jean, I've always felt sorry for her and wanted her to get help! 😢
@@luwamalem9537 most of the time she just about has the help she needs. I think even in her more grittiest days she had a somewhat quirky baseline temperament (the fact that her illness went unmedicated for years off-and-on doesn’t help, either) so even when she is taking her medication and not acutely unwell she still comes across as a little mad. That doesn’t make her a perpetual pity case or someone who needs an enormous amount of sympathy all the time. To a greater or lesser degree that’s just Jean’s personality. When she’s not boarding up windows with cardboard, burning and smashing stuff in maniacal rage and trying to drown herself while believing she’s related to the Queen of Cleopatra, she’s kind of just the way she has been over the years and half of the time she’s quite happy being like that.
it was actually a really great touch how the sun was shining, nice blue sky, the sun on the water making it shine, we literally got to see what Jean was seeing, and then what it really looked like for Stacey, think EastEnders have done well with this storyline
High mood yes but the visual hallucinations is more suggestive of psychotic features. Stacey’s scenes from when she was first introduced were more manic exclusive (financial recklessness, promiscuity etc).
I know it’s only a soap but I love how when before Jean fell deeper underwater it was all sunny and when Stacey pulled her to the surface the weather was all horrible. Might’ve been unintentional but I loved it
It was to show Jean’s perception of what was happening, it was never sunny there it was cloudy and miserable but to her it was the best day of her life
Such an important story to tell about Bipolar and they've done it so well! Absolutely powerful acting from Gillian Wright and Lacey Turner as always 👏 great upload 👍
@@andrewcornish291 it’s the truth I don’t care it hurts your feelings Why are they showing this when it’s got nothing to do with us? I don’t need to learn it and neither do you because you’re never have bipolar in your life
This sort of reminds me of Ronnie and Roxy drowning in a way. Excellent episode which wraps up this storyline as Jean now establishes that she’s ill. Amazing acting from Gillian and Lacey👏
We don’t need reminding of that ! It was terrible I’m still mad they killed them off like that this was better as it was showcasing bipolar and Gillian & Lacey are amazing actors.
Jean knew that if she walked into the water she would die and meet Daniel in heaven and the bipolar made her believe dying is a good thing but reality hit when she tripped over the rock and began to drown. A really fantastic and underrated moment, eastenders have brought so much more awareness towards the condition. Very very well done 👏
It was very well-acted but the most sublime performances Turner and Wright gave between them re. bipolar was during that week in December 2005 where Stacey went to their boarded-up old yard. Nothing Jean’s done since then has been as perfect or raw as her first episodes.
This was amazing acting it genuinely shook me to my core when I saw this for the first time and even now when I see it it sends chills down my spine amazing actors they deserve so much credit
I love how it looks so sunny and everything and everyone is so happy in her mind then when she comes down from the episode she sees its actually cloudly. I don't think she is going to want harvey because she was sleeping with him due to her episode. Hopefully she comes clean that she actually stole the money and not tommy.
Tonight has been such an incredible night, I got scared thinking about what's going to happen to Jean and how far she's going. Gillian Wright and Lacey Turner are both incredibly talented
This amazing episode has had me in tears 😢, such powerful scenes ❤️ well done to both amazing actresses!! Whenever I watch these 2 together I genuinely forget their actors! Very true to life, well done Eastenders 👏 ps got to mention love the scenes with Jean and Kat, very real xx
God bless Jean! My heart goes out there to people who are suffering from a serious mental illness and who have lost a loved one and that they imagine that the person is still alive and waiting for them. Then they later realize that they are not there. This is not something people should be making fun about! It is real, it is serious, and people need to get their acts together because they may come across someone attempting suicide! Please, please do what you can, as a viewer of soaps, to try and gain an understanding of mental illness! A little bit of kindness by showing how much you care and how much you want to support someone suffering makes a big difference and can save their life!
Jean is haunting here knowing she's ill but unwilling or unable to fight it and just accepting her fate. Fantastic actress. Criminal how she's won no awards in all the time she's played this character
This is similar to what happened to Ronnie and Roxy, they both wore their wedding dress in the swimming pool. Now it's Jean, but she's in the sea in her wedding dress
I literally have a mental illness called Borderline personality disorder I know it's not the same but episodes similar to this can happen at any time without warning. The way Jean saw everything peaceful without any sense of danger is actually VERY accurate to a real mental health attack. This scene is probably one of the most powerful I have seen in the show. I'm far from recovery but this is realistic.
There was a very disturbing scene in the early days (December 2005) where Jean stuffs her face with chips in an attempt to manipulate Stacey into saying (and again later in that episode where she conveniently-found her tablets in her cardi.-jacket) that was/were starkly-symbolic of the diathetic (if you know what I mean) linkage between borderline p.d. and certain forms of bipolar d., coincidentally. But Jean’s character in general was far-more-accurately-written back in the day so it’s no surprise so much elucidating psychological content can be milked from those first five episodes of hers alone. Now, not so much.
This was very sad. I wondered what she was trying to do though. I wondered why they couldn't give her a happy ending. I thought she was going to die when she fell.
Jean was ½ asleep in this scene... Was she so dreary,which caused her to just wade into the sea like that? Thank GOODNESS stacey got her just before she slipped over!!
There are 2 forms of bipolar disorder so whichever form have this pair got? Go on experts who watch this explain and see how good you think you are. BUT REMEMBER an expert is:- x the sign of nothing and a spurt is just a drip out of control!!
Lacey Turner & Gillian Wright are phenomenal actresses on their own, but when they’re together my god, it’s on another level, 2 of the best actresses EastEnders have ever had 👏🏻🙌🏻

I always loved their relationship
it was actually a really great touch how the sun was shining, nice blue sky, the sun on the water making it shine, we literally got to see what Jean was seeing, and then what it really looked like for Stacey, think EastEnders have done well with this storyline
And the music fitted perfectly
MARTIN AND STACEY ARE LITERALLY MEANT FOR EACH OTHER
Couldn’t agree more!
Can't wait for their reunion.
100% AGREE!
Do you know yeah they are
She cheated on him with Wife stealer Max just like she did with Bradley.
Jean and Stacey have always been a part of east Enders that feels honest, it isn’t overplayed and it is so important
This storyline has been so accurate on what a manic episode is like for the sufferer ,and their loved ones.
This particular part of it was very good.
High mood yes but the visual hallucinations is more suggestive of psychotic features. Stacey’s scenes from when she was first introduced were more manic exclusive (financial recklessness, promiscuity etc).
0:16 "I'm on my way Daniel, I am on my way" 🥺
I cried my eyes out with this scene. amazing acting!!!!
I know it’s only a soap but I love how when before Jean fell deeper underwater it was all sunny and when Stacey pulled her to the surface the weather was all horrible. Might’ve been unintentional but I loved it
It was to show Jean’s perception of what was happening, it was never sunny there it was cloudy and miserable but to her it was the best day of her life
I loved that detail as well. That'd definitely be analysed in an English GCSE class 😂
@@madnez93 definitely up there with the curtains were blue to symbolise the main characters sadness 🤣🤣
And GCSE English taught me that it is called pathetic fallacy
@@dillon9016 the author in heaven: the curtains WERE FUCKING BLUE
Wow. I hope this story gets many awards. One of the best depictions of mania I have ever seen. Bravo!
Such an important story to tell about Bipolar and they've done it so well! Absolutely powerful acting from Gillian Wright and Lacey Turner as always 👏 great upload 👍
Save out jean
Its the kind of story we need to Learn about no matter how hard it can be to watch. Good for eastenders for spreading awareness
You only saying that for because you nosy
@@jetnight88 well aren't you a pure delight
@@andrewcornish291 it’s the truth I don’t care it hurts your feelings
Why are they showing this when it’s got nothing to do with us?
I don’t need to learn it and neither do you because you’re never have bipolar in your life
This deserves an award at the next Soap awards. Brilliant acting.
Take a bow Gillian Wright and Lacey turner brilliant episode had me in tears

This made me cry
This was a very good episode probably the best eastenders episode I have seen in a while
Gillian wright and Lacy Turner should get awards for this episode.
Sublime performance by Lacey Turner and Gillian Wright.
This episode was so heartbreaking 💔
She never really did get over him did she bless her
The best yet, Gillian and Lacy were wonderful, I was in tears at the end, the filming and acting was out of this world, they deserve awards for it💙🙏🙏🙏

So glad they didn't do something like ronnie and roxy, would've broken me all over again
That scream , such brilliant acting!
What an excellent storyline
Oscar winning Performance of 2022🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was amazing acting it genuinely shook me to my core when I saw this for the first time and even now when I see it it sends chills down my spine amazing actors they deserve so much credit
What an amazing episode powerful scenes heartbreaking well done to gillian and lacey they were incredible as always

Gillian Wright as Jean played a brilliant part.
If this doesn’t win a soap award I will sue

I just watched this. First time watching a full episode of Eastenders and Im traumatised
Did this remind anyone else of roxy and ronnie ☹️
Yes
I don't think this Compares with the Mitchell Sisters
@@CharlotteJones21 at all ! I agree like wtf thsi was done very well the way they killed of the Mitchel sisters was terrible !
Two amazing actresses ❤️❤️👏👏👏
Jean is haunting here knowing she's ill but unwilling or unable to fight it and just accepting her fate.
Fantastic actress. Criminal how she's won no awards in all the time she's played this character
omg poor jean im glad stacey went in to get her mum it looks like terrible illness anyone can get got to hand it to them very good actresses 💜💜💜
Made me cry this episode did
Lacey Turner is amazing so is Gillian
She breaks my heart Jean does💔 Gillian Wright is a Brilliant Actress!
Great acting from both 👏🏻
I love stacey
Jean you are tapped and you've lost it
If only someone saved Ronnie & Roxy too ☹
It feels like Ronnie and Roxy again
Can you imagine if this is actually how they killed Jean off?
Yes, it would've been BADASS eastenders again.
A lot of us were hoping...
@@lottedunnell4642 Kirkwood definitely would’ve done it.
1:23 Mad Jean Slater.
The actual moment of any Eastenders episode where l actually cried😪
The are amazing actresses love jean very emotional episode.
Good job Stacey to save you're Bipolar Mother!
Ain’t no high like mania! 💔
Wow I don't even watch the show but that seen was amazing.
What part of Southend was that then at the end?
This is similar to what happened to Ronnie and Roxy, they both wore their wedding dress in the swimming pool. Now it's Jean, but she's in the sea in her wedding dress
Wow! 😔😢
What really got me truly emotional is the “Daniel is waiting for me” bit
I love the music

I’ve got both Bipolar and emotional unstable personality disorder it’s so shit
😢
Why do i feel like i want to walk towards that light😢
What is the music?
Yeah yeah yeah
Was that a drastic weather change or was Jean hallucinating that it was sunny
Good question
@@nickohira1397 I mean it is the uk after all
i think it was actually sunny but the drastic weather change was a way of saying that Jean is back to reality hence the scream
I think the weather was always gloomy, we were just seeing everything bright and sunny as Jean was seeing it due to her mania. Quite chilling really.
@@freyaxxk yeah, and the final shot with the little brightness inbertween the dark clouds is like daniels spirit
😭😭😭😭😭
heart breaking
Does anyone know who sings the song to this part?
@M Dawn: The Lotus Eaters.
2:46 me realising it’s leg day tomorrow
I feel like Jean somedays
You poor thing.
Wow is Stacey and Jean still in eastenders?
OMG 😳😳
This was very sad. I wondered what she was trying to do though. I wondered why they couldn't give her a happy ending. I thought she was going to die when she fell.
What’s the song playing at the beginning anyone?
First Picture of You by The Lotus Eaters.
She's lost reality bad. Yep suicide goes w/it. That's the way my mom was
Always thought when I first saw this it looked fake
As someone with bi polar she plays it very well
Jean was ½ asleep in this scene...
Was she so dreary,which caused her to just wade into the sea like that?
Thank GOODNESS stacey got her just before she slipped over!!
First Ronnie and Roxy are in water in their wedding dresses. now Jean...this scares me
Dnt understand why this Jean does not have a trophy of some sorts
What with the music they are good enough actors to pull scenes of like this on their own it’s distracting
Who is daniel guys
Who's Daniel ?
Daniel was her boyfriend a few years ago, but sadly he died from Cancer
Not another wedding dress drowning diseater
Erm so who’s Daniel?
Her boyfriend who died of cancer.
@@owlface9231 ah thank you!
Why didn’t Stacy take off the giant heavy coat before saving her
It's the devil that's possessed jean is trying to kill her and lead her it's not jean
Wait, I haven't watched it for months, did Jean intend to hurt herself?
I think she was just confused
I believe it was her Bipolar mixing with her grief for Daniel, who was her boyfriend who passed away from Cancer a few years ago, poor Jean. 😔😔
All gene needs is some Jamaican Canabis and she will be just fine the likkle buga
Loooooooooool
Agreed. More should’ve come out of that weed-growing story., for her sake. (Seriously.)
There are 2 forms of bipolar disorder so whichever form have this pair got? Go on experts who watch this explain and see how good you think you are. BUT REMEMBER an expert is:- x the sign of nothing and a spurt is just a drip out of control!!
I would say type 1- so they get full mania and lose of touch with reality. Type 2 this does not happen. I’m type 1 unfortunately x
😅 🤣🤣 😔😢😭😭😭😭
Did Jean actually want to die or is she just confused?
I think she was just very confused
@@EastEnders4Life ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ACTING FROM LACEY TURNER LILLIA TURNER AND GILLIAN WRIGHT❤️🤩💜😎👏🏻
Severely manic
Severe illness
I don't think she wanted to die. I think she was trying to sort of reach the sky/heaven for Daniel.
NO
whos daniel
Daniel was Jean's boyfriend who sadly passed away from cancer. Hope that helps.
