EastEnders 2019

[Cal.]

Some off the record spoilers

Lisa is sectioned over Christmas
Phil chases Keanu to the airport but with the help of Karen Keanu manages to flee
Louise is given Mel’s villa by Sharon

[Denver]

Simon Ashdown has written the New Years Eve episodes so you know they will be fantastic

[Denver]

There is a rumour going around that

Ian will run Louise over similar to Tiffany's death.

If this rumour is true I guess it means she is being killed off

[Marsh.]

We were told that earlier this year and I’m STILL waiting for her to leave :oh:

No we weren't you lying cow. :oh:

[Marsh.]

There is a rumour going around that

Ian will run Louise over similar to Tiffany's death.

If this rumour is true I guess it means she is being killed off

Judging by the spoilers...

It's far more likely Linda knocks Louise over. Which also explains her absence from the location shoot of Keanu's exit.

Whether she'll be killed, I highly doubt it. Especially given the extremely low number of female Mitchell's left. Lola and Sam just won't cut it.

I actually reckon Oates/Sen have axed her and intend to recast her within a year to shape the character how they want. Much like they have with Ben.

[Amy Jade]

Pray for our Whit alone with tony kings son :worry:

[Marsh.]

Thank GOD they haven't dragged this Leo stuff out too long.

I was nervous it was gonna be a Christmas 2020 job.

[Ant.]

I'm EastEnders being ranked #42 on Tumblr for fandoms

[Marsh.]

I wonder when Steve McFadden will realise Keanu's name is NOT pronounced Keano!

[Ashley.]

God I haven't watched this in ages. Has it improved since last year?

[Marsh.]

God I haven't watched this in ages. Has it improved since last year?

Phil and Sharon (aged 104 and 70 respectively) are still having affairs and pregnancies. Make up your own mind. :hee:

[Redway]

God I haven't watched this in ages. Has it improved since last year?

EastEnders has been dead since 2012 but it’s been watchable this year for the first time since then.

[Marsh.]

EastEnders has been dead since 2012 but it’s been watchable this year for the first time since then.

*2010

Although it's been watchable I'd say Autumn 2013 to Christmas 2014 was more watchable.

[LukeB]

Peter Beale has been recast

*2010

Although it's been watchable I'd say Autumn 2013 to Christmas 2014 was more watchable.

2011 and even 2012 had more going for it in terms of public relevance than it’s had since and I’d take the worst of those years over anything from 2013 to 2028 any day of the week.

2014 was obviously fine but the show was well and truly on the wane by that point in terms of popularity. I don’t think it’s ever recovered in the public eye from the love and warmth era of snakes and cold cuts.

I think DTC did well to raise its public profile to 2010 standards by the time of the live episode in 2015.

It was the piss poor remainder of the year that saw it drop again.

[Denver]

So they recanted him to make him more of a hunky ladies man then recast him back into a scrawny geeky looking character

[Marsh.]

Queen Oates making the characters normal again.

[Firewire]

So they recanted him to make him more of a hunky ladies man then recast him back into a scrawny geeky looking character

Peter should never have been a hunk.

This is good casting cause he looks like Bobby.

[Denver]

Peter should never have been a hunk.

This is good casting cause he looks like Bobby.

I totally agree and Thomas Law should never have been axed

[LukeB]

Peter should never have been a hunk.

now you said it i can see it.

[Marsh.]

I totally agree and Thomas Law should never have been axed

He wasn't. He quit in 2010 was offered a return in 2013 but declined so they recast.

[Gstar]

Where do I start?!

Favourite story: I’ve lowkey been here for the Mitchells story all year with the addition of Mel and Lisa. Tazmin is a great actress and will be missed, I’m perched for the reveal. Lisa finding out about the baby was good but telling the whole square was a bit much, she should of just stuck to calling Sharon a murderer - that alone makes her look crazy enough. Phil visiting Lisa in the mental hospital and Lisa revealing the secret to Phil alone would of been a better idea. Overall good story and it hasn’t turned “silly” ... yet.. I repeat.. yet!!

Least favourite: Linda’s alcoholism seems to have come from nowhere, even if it does it’s so not needed right now. Why can’t Mick and Linda have a good Christmas? Let’s not forget they went through hell LAST Christmas and it would of been nice to see them have a chilled one and do something special with Ollie/or have a random Nancy/Johnny visit. I also HOWLED at the scene of Linda looking in the mirror trying to be psycho :laugh: :laugh: sis

Haven’t agreed with certain decisions made but overall I’m still enjoying the show and it’s definitely better than 2018.

Christmas trailer didn’t reveal much but hope we’re in for a surprise and I’m intrigued to see who will take centre stage for new years asthey’ve been hit and miss recently. Oh and hi xx

[Marsh.]

So, tonight we have yet another character in yet another retread of their own biggest plot, I don't think Kate Oates tenure is shaping up to be particularly strong. I feel like she YouTubes EE characters, sees clips of their biggest moments and the result is Mel's car crash death (Steve's exit), Whitney's stalker (Pedo Tony), Martin's hit and run (Jamie's death), Sharongate 2.0 etc etc. Still waiting for them to do something original. Hopefully, we'll see a bit with the Panesars.

[Marsh.]

Also, the Sheanu stuff was firing on all cylinders when they brought Mel and Lisa into it. But it's an absolute shambles at the minute.

Lisa is abused and screamed at for shouting that Sharon's baby isn't Phil's. So she agrees to shut up but is then shouted at and abused until she states the obvious again. So, either he believes she's lying or she isn't? I really didn't understand the need for him to be the way he was with her. It makes zero sense.

The rate at which Phil is piecing stuff together is laughable, practically shoots Jack dead over a ****ing necklace. Now, we have Louise after 18 months suddenly now looking worried after one comment about what Sharon got up to last summer. When Phil said "When I was away in Spain", Louise should have asked "which time?".

The pacing feels like they had to slow it right down after Mel died in order to make it last until Christmas, but then forgot about it and suddenly had to ramp it up quickly to climax over Christmas. The pacing is all over the place.

[Jigs]

I think it's moved at a great pace tbh. I didn't want it to drag on for so long that we all forgot about it, but I also didn't want it to move at Hollyoaks pace either. I think it's reasonable that we had a bit of downtime after Mel's death because it signified Sharon being lulled into that false sense of security she has when she thought she'd finally tied up all the loose ends and gotten away with it scot-free. Now that it's basically been confirmed Sharon's baby isn't Phil's, it makes sense to me that it's moving at a quicker pace because we all know Phil's a hothead and he will continue to be on a destructive path until the truth is revealed.

I hated what they did with Phil's character post-alcoholism until basically now. His "tough guy" status had become nothing more than an unspoken rule despite the fact we barely got to see any of it. Going around pinning people up against walls and threatening them seems truer to his character so I'm intrigued to see how he manages to piece together the rest of the puzzle this week.

HOWEVER

What I don't get is why Jack decided not to take action against Phil yet when he sees Halfway punching Leo in the street he suddenly goes into that awful entitled cop mode and *has* to make an arrest...

[zrc]

I can't be the only one who doesn't give a hoot about this storyline. Just bored of Sharon and Phil in general to be honest.

[Amy Jade]

omg Lee is back!

[Kate!]

omg Lee is back!

I love Lee :lovedup:

[Denver]

omg Lee is back!

It's only for a couple of episodes

[Vanessa]

Omg that was excellent. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
I don't think Keanu is dead, but we will find out in the new year.

[Marsh.]

I know Sharon hasn't exactly been portrayed as a great mother but Denny shouting "slapper!" at her in the street, that little sh*t needs a smack.

[Jigs]

I can't stand the Chantelle/Gray storyline. It's gone on for too long now and both are terrible actors.

[Wizard.]

Grey can get me pregnant but he's clingy af I think it's just the bad acting.

[Marsh.]

I think it's moved at a great pace tbh. I didn't want it to drag on for so long that we all forgot about it, but I also didn't want it to move at Hollyoaks pace either.

Oh, yeah, it's not that I expected it to move full pelt the entire time. I just mean they should've developed Phil discovering the truth over a longer period, especially Louise's frame of mind as her having an overnight change in personality that sees her immediately piecing things together when she already suspected them having an affair during the "PT" stuff 18 months ago is a stretch of believability too far. Having said that, the Louise/Keanu side of the plot has always been weak. They're barely even three-dimensional characters so their motives and reactions change every episode.


What I don't get is why Jack decided not to take action against Phil yet when he sees Halfway punching Leo in the street he suddenly goes into that awful entitled cop mode and *has* to make an arrest...

See, simple lapses in logic to make a storyline work is one major problem with Oates' EastEnders imo. The same with Martin and Ben's entire story since Stacey left is just a series of ridiculous plot contrivances that defy basic logic.

We're supposed to believe that Martin can't simply get rid of a van himself, so turns to either committing cold blooded murder (and filming it) or elaborately staging a faked death (and filming it) just so Ben will do it for him? Just on the off chance someone was seriously hurt in a hit and run, WHEN HE WASN'T EVEN DRIVING IT!

I can deal with plot holes in a soap, but not on this scale.

[Marsh.]

I can't stand the Chantelle/Gray storyline. It's gone on for too long now and both are terrible actors.

I don't think it's gone on for too long. It was a slow burn before getting to the main story, but yeah it's not exactly great when it's focussed on.

[Denver]

Kate Oates has said a stranger will return to become the slaters guardian angel

So it rules out Stacey as she is family what about Alfie? For his redemption and he did tease a 2020 comeback last year

[Denver]

[Firewire]

I would guess Daniel, he's not a stranger as such but if helps them out anonymously then it would be a stranger

[Denver]

I would guess Daniel, he's not a stranger as such but if helps them out anonymously then it would be a stranger

But doesnt his return this new year?

[Denver]

Unless he goes away again

[Denver]

Or Janine is a short possibility

[Amy Jade]

Kellie Bright is a brilliant actress. Most believable drunk performance in a soap for ages!

[Denver]

One of the worse episodes ever, that wasnt EE just some trippy teen drama

[Amy Jade]

One of the worse episodes ever, that wasnt EE just some trippy teen drama

Yes a teen drama about a middle aged woman.

[Vanessa]

The flashback is on tomorrow episode. Can't wait!

[Liam-]

Kellie Bright is a hero, what an amazing episode

[Greg!]

I loved last night’s ep! Kellie is a phenomenal actor

[Rob!]

Yes a teen drama about a middle aged woman.

:joker::joker::joker:

It was an outstanding episode. Kellie Bright was phenomenal

[Denver]

Yes a teen drama about a middle aged woman.

Obviously I meant the style Nd tonight's episode is a flashback set on xmas day which I hope they can pull off.

[Amy Jade]

I'm so excited for this!

[Denver]

This Martin storyline is so unrealistic

[Amy Jade]

Linda is in the van?

[Vanessa]

I knew it! Keanu is alive :shocked:

[Barry.]

Are banks open on Christmas?

[Amy Jade]

Sonia tried to steal Dots money :omgno:

[Amy Jade]

Queen linda :flutter:

[LukeB]

:omgno:

[Amy Jade]

So Louise was gonna let her babys dad die because he shagged someone else before they were official. What a messy cow

[Amy Jade]

Ok so...

I hope Keanu gets Peggy off Louise
Sheree could have just told Patrick she had a son?
Daniel and Jean...who cares?
Linda is now a fully fledged icon

[Vanessa]

I think Ben is going to find out. He looked suspicious to me already.

[Denver]

Ok so...

I hope Keanu gets Peggy off Louise
Sheree could have just told Patrick she had a son?
Daniel and Jean...who cares?
Linda is now a fully fledged icon

Imagine wanted a woman to lose her baby because her bf cheated on her

[Firewire]

I thought the Christmas period was actually excellent overall now it's concluded.

I wasn't really a fan of the Xmas day episode itself, but combined with tonight I think it's been great. Last night's was obviously sensational.

[Liam-]

Imagine wanted a woman to lose her baby because her bf cheated on her

More so the fact she conspired to have someone’s murdered cause he dipped his wick elsewhere

[Liam-]

Linda has been superb the past few weeks, but this past week has proven her to be the star of the show.

Martin as a master crimInal is still a laughably ridiculous storyline though, definitely could have done without him

[Marsh.]

The funniest part is 12 months ago Louise and Keanu didn't even interact, she was all about Keegan.

They were forced together via Phil and offscreen apparently fell in love and she got pregnant etc. That part of the story was always the weakest and yet it's the one they focussed on when it came time for the reveal. Add to it the terrible development of Martin/Ben and you have one big sh*tty storyline. An embarrassing mess.

Thankfully, we have Linda Carter saving us by giving us some well acted scenes.

[Marsh.]

that wasnt EE

It was more EastEnders than the Ben and Martin sh*te.

[Amy Jade]

Imagine wanted a woman to lose her baby because her bf cheated on her

More the fact Keanu is clearly more mature and Louise conspired to have someone killed...but go off I guess

[Marsh.]

Imagine wanted a woman to lose her baby because her bf cheated on her

Imagine wanting a new born baby to stay with his clearly unstable and murderous mother.

[Ammi]

...Kellie Bright has been amazing...:lovedup:...every time she’s given a powerful storyline, she embraces it so skilfully, she’s a wonderful actress...


...hmmm at Sonia...:shock/horror smiley:...bad Sonia...bad, bad Sonia...maybe we need to send Martin around to sort her out....oooops...

[Marsh.]

Everyone worrying what Ben thinks. :umm2:

I'm not sticking with it if this Ben sh*te lasts much longer.

[Jigs]

I'm loving the fallout of this. Linda's involvement is so random but perfect because I love the idea of random neighbours/acquaintances being dragged together to do terrible things solely because Phillip Mitchell says so :skull: The Mitchell clan have taken such a fall from grace since their heyday BUT I can see that attempts are being made to reinstate them as the power family of the square, which I'm happy about.

So I remember that Patrick said he and Sheree had a fling many many years ago. I'm thinking that Isaac is Patrick's son with Sheree that he doesn't know about...?

[Ammi]

...’you can never tell anyone, Karen...no one must ever know...’...

...when has that ever worked out in Eastenders...

[Denver]

I think he will be Paul's baby

[Rob!]

I need this friendship to continue.

Kathy's got a cheek coming for Sharon about being a slag when Kathy struggles keeping her knickers on too! she had an affair when she returned with that Buster bloke and her beloved Ben was after Halfway when he was with Whitney.

As for Lola! she came back this year engaged and tried shagging Jay!

[Marsh.]

Jay and Lola being so harsh with Sharon made no sense whatsoever.

[Ammi]

...don’t worry about Sharon...the Mitchell’s are not going to keep that girl down...she’s got this covered...

[Liam-]

Ian became iconic when he wouldn’t bow down the Mitchells, he’s blatantly going to fall in love with Sharon and it’s going to be a disaster.

Can we talk about Karen? What a woman, that scene in the pub with Phil was bloody fantastic

...I read the speculation that it might be Patrick’s son...plus speculating that he may try to kill Patrick...I don’t understand the correlation of those two things...whether any of that potential storyline has already been revealed in the past...why he would want to hurt Patrick...

I'm sure I heard somewhere that Sheree's ex-husband 'mysteriously' died - I was wondering whether or not it was Isaac who killed him, as a result of some kind of mental illness that has led to Sheree keeping him away for the sake of Patrick's safety?

Or perhaps we are looking at more of a 'Bates Motel'-esque obsession kind of scenario unraveling here... :worry:

Jay and Lola being so harsh with Sharon made no sense whatsoever.

The cheek of wandering into somebody else's house, who neither of them share any relation to, and flat out ordering them to kick out their seven-months pregnant best friend.

I completely disagree with the whole 'the Mitchell's should have the power' viewpoint - they shouldn't. It doesn't make any sense for them to have the power anymore.

[Cal.]

Somebody drowns during the Thames boat party announced in tonight’s episode on the 35th anniversary

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/10739807/eastenders-major-character-death-35th-anniversary/amp/

[Amy Jade]

I think we can discount most of that line up. They won't kill Shaz, Phil, Ian, Mick or Linda and the two Peter and Bobby have only just returned.

Louise and Lisa seem most at risk since they are leaving the show.

[Denver]

Its obviously Louise

[Vanessa]

It's not Ben. The actor is on holiday this week :dance:

[Marsh.]

It'll be Leo or someone disposable.

[Denver]

It'll be Leo or someone disposable.

Its defo not Leo as his storyline is an 18 month thing

[Firewire]

Thank God he won't be polluting our screens during anniversary week. There is a HOPE with this world :flutter:

[Liam-]

I pray for a twist where Ben and Callum perish together to get them off my screen

[Vanessa]

If Callum was on that boat, he would be trying to help. So maybe end up in hospital? But I don't think it's him dying.
It's one of Mick, Linda or Whitney.

[Vanessa]

I pray for a twist where Ben and Callum perish together to get them off my screen

Ben is not on the boat.

[Marsh.]

Its defo not Leo as his storyline is an 18 month thing

This is an unfounded rumour.

Kate Oates simply said at the end of summer that they had plans for Whitney for up to 2 years. That led people to cry that the Ballum affair was going to drag for 2 years and then led people to assume Leo would be around for 2 years.

It meant neither. Simply that they knew where everything was leading for Whitney.

[Cal.]

And her arc will blatantly just be a pregnancy as that’s the only long term story line the show seems to be able to give their female characters nowadays

[Marsh.]

Tea. :joker:

[Marsh.]

Although Kate saved Whit from a pregnancy plot last year so hopefully it doesn't result in her doing a Lauren and being tied down by a baby.

[Vanessa]

I think Mick.

[Marsh.]

Danny Dyer renewed for a year in October. It won't be him.

If he ever leaves it will be a Christmas plot IMO.

[Vanessa]

Danny Dyer renewed for a year in October. It won't be him.

Maybe Whitney then? It's definitely one of Mick, Linda or Whitney.

[Marsh.]

I very much doubt it's a major character.

[Vanessa]

I very much doubt it's a major character.

Maybe someone who has recently quit.

[Ross.]

Why has Sharon barely been involved in the aftermath of her own story

[zrc]

It'll be Tracy.

[Marsh.]

Why has Sharon barely been involved in the aftermath of her own story

Ever since Ben, Martin and Louise robbed Phil, Sharon and Keanu of the conclusion to their own story at Christmas.

An absolute dog's dinner of a plot.

[Ross.]

Don’t get me started on Kathy moving in with Phil lmao

[Marsh.]

Don’t get me started on Kathy moving in with Phil lmao

I cackled at her clearing out the fridge and cleaning the rugs but her living with Phil makes no sense whatsoever.

[Denver]

Its obviously Louise though, they have confirmed she is leaving very soon and it just makes sense unless they bring Keanu back to actually kill him

[Ross.]

If they kill another legacy female character I’m DONE!

[Vanessa]

Its obviously Louise though, they have confirmed she is leaving very soon and it just makes sense unless they bring Keanu back to actually kill him

Maybe he comes back one last time?

[Denver]

I could kind of see Callum dying but I think Linda will be to blame somehow and it will help her beat her alcoholism

[Marsh.]

I reckon if anyone dies it will be Sharon's baby back on the Square.

Any overboard shenanigans won't result in the death of anyone more than a guest star.

[Marsh.]

Its obviously Louise though, they have confirmed she is leaving very soon and it just makes sense unless they bring Keanu back to actually kill him

It's not obvious at all when it seems Louise and Lisa will have already left by the time this airs.

[Denver]

We know that

Mick
Linda
Tina
Max
Jack
Whitney
Kush
Kat

Are all on board so from that list I could see it being Tina, she hardly gets screen time and wouldnt be missed and would create more drama for the family

[Vanessa]

I could kind of see Callum dying but I think Linda will be to blame somehow and it will help her beat her alcoholism

I think Callum will end up in hospital, but survive.

[Amy Jade]

I think Callum will end up in hospital, but survive.

I hope he and Ben die.

[Marsh.]

I hope he and Ben die.

No!
Martin and Ben drown and leave Callum for Rainie to try and matchmake with people like a fairy godmother.

[Denver]

35th anniversary spoilers Keanu is back and has been spotted filming with Ben, also looks like he has blood on his face

[Denver]

there is a spoiler that looks like Leo being pulled from the water

[Denver]

Although Fanny Dyer said the death was filmed last night at 3am and the whole cast were in tears so would suggest a long term character and not one who has been there months

[Denver]

There is a also a leaked image of Jack crying so with all being said I'm guessing Whitney dies?

[Vanessa]

Yesterday someone has leaked some of next week scenes :shocked: Someone is getting fired D:

[Amy Jade]

I can't face Whitney dying

[Vanessa]

I can't face Whitney dying

Jack crying his eyes out. Suggests Denise to me? :shocked:

Anyone else incredibly bored of Jean and Daniel?

I enjoy all other scenes apart from theirs.

I am living for Saint Sharon pouring her heart out to Linda who's wobbling up the road stuffing her face with chips :flutter:

Mick and Linda are the 2 who go over board

So it looks like Linda may be the death?

[Redway]

Mick and Linda are the 2 who go over board

So it looks like Linda may be the death?

Or Lee jumping in to save her?

[Denver]

Or Lee jumping in to save her?

Lee has finished filming and hasn't been spotted filming on location so very unlikely

[Marsh.]

Mick and Linda are the 2 who go over board

So it looks like Linda may be the death?

Keanu and Ben were photographed sopping wet so they've probably dunked a few cast members in to throw the paps off as to what they're filming.

[Marsh.]

It's really annoying me how people allow Shirley to hop on her high horse with everyone regarding everything in life.

"I'm doing this for my son!!" how has Linda not pointed out what a laughable comment that is? Linda has done more for her "son" than Shirley ever has. :shrug:

[Amy Jade]

I want Daniel and Jean to die soon so over the whole story

[Amy Jade]

Has June Brown left? that tape implied she had moved to Ireland for good

[Marsh.]

I want Daniel and Jean to die soon so over the whole story

SHUT YOUR FAT GOB YOU@!!!! :oh:

[Marsh.]

Has June Brown left? that tape implied she had moved to Ireland for good

No, she only works so many months of the year now. So she gets shipped off to Ireland every 6 months.

She's been pretty meh for ages, even through her attempted suicide I never cared much. They can send her away to Uni and bring her back with a different actress in a few years

No great loss

[Wizard.]

She dies in the canal?

[Marsh.]

Should've just sent her to uni to begin with. Really no point in the suicide plot when it was ignored in favour of Martin and Ben playing hard men anyway.

[Amy Jade]

I'm half expecting Martin and Ben to **** soon. Kate Oates will be foaming at the mouth for her two obsessions to be boning

Martin Fowler, top or bottom?

[Wizard.]

I’m not being funny but I’ve actually thought of Martin naked and imagine he’s got a thick one?

Maybe it’s cause my maths teacher at school looks like him and he had a thick one ignore me

Why is Kathy so pissed with what Sharon did to Phil, she isn't exactly Phil's best mate.

[Wizard.]

I can't see her going with them giving her great storylines

Her longest stint was for 10 years between 1985-95 she’s been there now for 8 years so the 35th anniversary would be a likely time for her to go or within the next two years

Random but on Friday's episode why did Louise agree to watch a film with Bex that night but then she was in the car on the way to the airport like an hour later?

To hide the fact that she was fleeing the country from the police under suspicion of murder?

[Jigs]

Yeah but why agree to meet your friend if you know you have no intention of going...

It seemed odd. Like, just say you're busy.

[Denver]

Im guessing to avoid any type of suspicion

[Denver]

With Bex leaving an already filmed her final scenes

Is she the canal death? maybe someone kills her to hurt Martin? Does she go to Portugal? does she kill herself? i guess Uni is unlikely as you cant go mid term?

[Jigs]

Bex's relationship with Martin/Sonia seems to be becoming really fractured lately so perhaps she goes to Ireland to stay with Dot and will eventually return as a new actress?

[Marsh.]

So the boat death is looking like

Bex, she pretty much spoiled it by saying her exit is very dramatic and Wet

[Marsh.]

I saw that.

Either...

1) the actress really is that thick and spoiled it
2) she's said it on purpose which means we can be certain it is not her that dies
3) she dies but not on the Thames

I'm convinced the Thames stuff will be the Keanu showdown and the death will occur on the square. The boat party being a diversion.

[Jake.]

I'm not sure I'm really fond of Linda's storyline? Just the sheer haste of it and the lack of substance to it.

Random but on Friday's episode why did Louise agree to watch a film with Bex that night but then she was in the car on the way to the airport like an hour later?

To avoid questions, I suspect. She left in a hurry.

[Ammi]

....yeah, I agree Ashley...I guess that’s how soaps are though, they have to accelerate these storylines...but her ‘descent’ into alcoholism and decline of her family life hasn’t really shown any heart to it at all...

[Amy Jade]

I see what you are both saying, I honestly do and this isn't a dig at you but I feel sorry for the soaps a bit because if they showed us the real lengths and time frame of these things people say it's being dragged out too so they can't please us all.

I saw people saying the Whitney stalking storyline was dragging too and of that were accurate to stalking it'd be Whitney dealing with him for years never mind a few months lol

[Ammi]

...I think with Linda (...for me...)...it’s more that I’m feeling an absence of depth and heart...all soap storylines are accelerated because they have to be...?..but many still convey all of the emotional depths that they need to, to also make things have a relatability....?...I want to feel for Linda and I want to feel for her family as well...but I don’t really as much as I should and want to...as much as I feel the writers have written for me to.../...if that makes sense...but I’d feel all of those things for Whitney’s storyline atm though...

[Jigs]

I'm loving Linda's storyline. EE are doing a great job of making me feel how harrowing/frustrating/complex the entire issue of alcoholism is. Linda obviously cares about her family but she's on the warpath following her actions on Christmas Day/New Year. I think this all started with Ollie's autism diagnosis and/or her having friction with all the other school mums, and then spiraled into something completely unforeseen.

I do feel that she has gone from 0-100 in a short space of time but I also think it's justified considering she has a lot to bury her head in the sand over. She's been embroiled in a lot of drama and has a lot of people on her back. Personally, I didn't think it could get any worse for Linda after she woke up in a puddle of broken glass and blood. I thought she'd get help after that. But what's truly harrowing is that she carries on, seemingly without care, but then at the end of it all she vocalises exactly how much she hates herself and tbh it just breaks my heart.

I also think Mick rationing the alcohol for Linda is a great angle for them to go down. It shows the warped rationale that is involved when you're trying to balance such a tricky tightrope.

[Ammi]

...well that told me...last nights episode was really quite emotional and heart wrenching...

Shaz devouring a pickle and shivering with pleasure needs gifing IMMEDIATELY!

[Marsh.]

I can't really get on board with Shirley's "tough love" when they haven't even tried helping Linda. They've just given her grief and more reasons to drink from the start. They're acting like this is the last straw, the last resort but it isn't. None of them have even tried with her.

Not to mention, throwing her rape and her cancer in her face. :umm2: The torment of which Shirley added to by shaming her for months and even after the truth came out still treating Linda like sh*t.

Not to mention, Shirley herself being a drunken lush who can't survive without consuming alcohol daily and has a habit of attempting to drown family members.

Not to mention, Linda being blamed for Mick kissing Whitney for being selfish enough to have a sick mother and get cancer herself. :umm2:

We're supposed to sympathise with the suffering family, but really, Linda's right. It's always about saint Mick and how put upon he is. I'd drink too if I lived with Mick and had to put up with Shirley mooching off my pub, living in my home and playing mother hen to the baby she abandoned for 40 years.

PHEW!!!!

Just my thoughts. :hehe:

ALTHOUGH, I did howl at poor Chantelle screaming at the cup being thrown at her head. The poor love getting beatings from all sides.

...yeah, this is really very much what I meant when I said that I didn’t feel any heart with it, I didn’t feel the emotion and the depth...I know in soapland, it all has to be on fast forward/on double time...but we still feel that depth with many storylines ...there have been flashes of it, but then they’ve gone and taken it away again in another scene...I thought there was too much crammed in with Shirley raging at her, Mick hovering over and her son standing looking at her in terror...I didn’t feel that terror like I should have, you know...and I don’t feel the sadness in Mick for the loss of ‘Linda’ like I should and want to...

The Linda aspects of the story are well acted and have great scenes, the overall writing, and especially Shirley and Mick's parts needs major work.

But, it actually makes no sense. When did he do this? Why does Dot have a convenient random ass compass design on her bedroom ceilings? When did he make a hole?
Why is the ceiling as thin as paper? How did he get in the loft? etc etc etc etc

Leo hid a camera = believable and creepy. Solved.

But, no, let's have him living in Dot's attic undetected and poking holes in the paper thin roof. :joker:

Dot's house is old though tbf it's not unimaginable there would be a hole by the lighting fixture.

It is a bit weird how he got in the attic though, maybe they could address it - I've clearly been watching too many movies but remember Keanu getting out of Louise's bedroom on the bay window? Perhaps Leo got on that and to sn open window?

Yeah I'm gonna need to know exactly how Leo has been getting up there before I get on-board with this development

[Tony Montana]

Just watched the scene with Leo spying on Whitney on YT. I was expecting to see a camera when it zoomed in but seeing his eye blinking instead was so creepy. My jaw dropped. That was truly disturbing and terrifying.

[Jigs]

Kellie Bright just did an interview with Holly and Phil and she confirms that Linda "gets wet" during the 35th anniversary Boat Party. She also said it was the most exciting week she's filmed in her 6.5 years on the show.

Perhaps multiple people fall in? It sounds like carnage tbh.

[Marsh.]

So, when Mick was in Whitney's bedroom, we see a staircase behind him going up (presumably to the loft?). Those types of houses would not have a proper staircase going up to the attic. :suspect:

I agree with Vanessa about the outcome of the boat trip. It makes most logical sense to me considering...

Danny Dyer seems to be one of the most likely to be leaving the soap to do other things. Also it seems appropriate that Linda's alcoholism will leave her realising the consequences of her actions in the most dramatic way.

They have pretty much confirmed Keanu dies by saying his and Ben's fight takes place in the boat and we know Keanu is leaving for good
