That duff duff count on DS is wrong. :think:

Dotty Cotton is returning

Not demon child Dotty :skull:

Dot is coming back :love:

Interesting move with Dotty. I’d forgotten about her. The new actress doesn’t look much like a “Dotty” though. I remember the kid actress looking like Wednesday Adamms.

Kathy queen of looking younger than her own son :love:

The fact that Kathy is supposed to be aged 70 in the show as well :skull:

Iqra will be the shows first Muslim lesbian

Who?

Iqra stupid auto correct

I think a lot of us clicked onto that possibility when articles about her actress aged up randomly popped up but I didn't think they'd actually bring her back :skull:

And it's not even the same actress? :joker:

Nope. She said Kate Oates specifically said they wanted an older actress.

So that could mean they want to give her very grown up stories.

Miss Rana did it better!

Oh wait is she not even 18? :skull:

I read an article and from what I took from it, it's that they wanted an actress to LOOK older :skull: this is why we don't skimread

How grown-up could they get? Tiff's been through some dark storylines (not that 'grownup'=dark, per se) and her actress only turned 18 a few weeks ago

I don't think she's that much older. 20 I think?

Maybe they meant someone who looked older than the original actress she might look immature for her age.

They probably invited her for a meeting just to see how she was now before opting for a recast.

Yeah they did contact her I think? Which is something, I suppose. Better that than just replacing her without being told

I just can't wait for Dotty to return, she's my earliest memory of EastEnders and the only reason I watched back then :joker: I hope it's long-term

Unlike Ben who she just disregarded Harry Reid and brought in Max. :fan:

Mess at it actually being Keanus baby

I’m screaming at how blatantly preggers Lacey looks

I came here to post this :skull:

She’s massive lmao

She had her baby now a girl called Dusty

They missed a trick not having a pregnancy in-joke when Stacey refused an alcoholic drink last night.

So Stacey is the one who attacks Phil? So I'm guessing she either goes on the run or to prison?

Serving Archie Mitchell teas

I'm so glad they're tackling new exit storylines with Stace :flutter:

Missy really has it in for elderly Mitchells?

Is Phil dead!?

The bushes and birthday banners covering Lacey's bump at the start of the ep - SCREAM

I mean Stacey was the most obvious choice but did anyone even guess her? It didnt cross my mind

I did not guess her. Not at all.

:joker:

I said it was her as soon as the 50k came back into the plot.

Finally up to date. The domestic abuse storyline took me by surprise, it looks promising and I'm excited to see where they go with this. Enjoying the show right now, a lot is happening

I won’t be watching now Stacey’s gone

The show on the up. Just gets better and better.

Monday should improve tenfold without the pregnant moaning lump around. :clap1:

**** off BITCH

Stacey will be back though :hee:

Not for a long, long, long, looooong time. :)

Her exit was a MESS

Gonna miss her though :(
