The Julia's theme tune was not used when Kat and Alfie left together so I am deleting that bit of wrong information. The only music you could hear was in the background, it was a Christmas tune.

[edit] Julia's theme
I've just added information about tonight's use of Julia's theme. The section seems a bit mixed up so I thought I'd ask what people think about rearranging the uses into reverse date order (excluding first use, last use and longest theme, which can be mentioned in a paragraph near the top), put into a list with dates. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:43, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's so nice when we discuss things. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 13:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

- It's ok, just my humour. To be honest, I don't like the table :-( but it's better than it was. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 20:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The theme broadcast at the end of the episode of Frank's funeral, is the same as the theme used at the end of Sonia & Martin's departure however neither are the same as the example given in the article for Julia's theme. So it seems something has gone wrong with this list at some point. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 19:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- "Julia's theme" is actually a really long piece of music. They use different parts of it for different endings. This was a longer version, that's all. Here's the full version on this video [1] Gungadin 19:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah thanks! Also, listening to this this, it would seem they've re-edited it slightly sticking 1:26-1:43 and 2:00-2:06 together to create the theme heard in Frank's Funeral and previously during Sonia & Martin's exit. Is this a noteworthy point to make anywhere in the article? ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 20:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- do you mean that it leads into the regular theme? It always does that. It just replaces the drumbeats.Gungadin 20:19, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- No the other youtube video I found [2] has the entire original song. If you listen to the tune from 1 minute 26 seconds you'll see it matches until 1:43 where it leads off. At 2:00 you hear the bit that would normally lead into the normal theme (without drums). They've obviously re-edited these parts together. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 21:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ian Beale being declared bankrupt
We have this listed as a Julia theme moment, but if you listen to this [3], It wasnt Julia's theme being used.Gungadin 01:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Shane/Alfie stuff
It has been said by Shane Richie (who played Alfie Moon), that upon being given the latest scripts, EastEnders cast members always rush to the back to see who will be getting the dramatic ending. Jessie Wallace has said that Shane Richie always tried to steal the endings that she and others were given, if he featured in the same scene.

- This part too..
- It could be said that it is a victim of its own success, most viewers now pre-empt the ending, if something major is going to happen in an episode, such as the return of an old character, then it is very likely they will only feature in the last few seconds before the drums begin.
