Eastenders- can anyone help me catch up please?

[McButtonwillow]

I'm really behind on eastenders & I'm not going to find the way to catch up before the Xmas special (70 odd episodes to watch) can anyone help out with a brief summary of the main events over the last couple of months.

I'm up to Patrick having his stroke, Carol's just had her op & Mick's about to do the charity swim oh & Ian's been asked to do a tv appeal to catch Lucy's killer.

Just brief ideas of the main plots would be great.

Thanks in advance

Hi, there's an eastenders thread if you'd like to read that.

Quite a lot happened since then. Stacey got out of jail, Everyone found out about Rainie and Ian. Denise and Ian break up. Alfie sets fire to their house to get insurance money but ends up burning Kat. So she's left scarred. He doesn't get the money either. Stacey finds out he started the fire and she knows but hasn't told kat and is not talking to them.

Phil and Sharon get married, Shirley is fragile and finds Ronnie's gun (that Sharon had) and goes and accidently shoots phil. She runs off. Dean rapes Linda. Linda ends up pregnant and is now pregnant. Mick knows she's pregnant but doesn't know about the rape yet.

Denise isn't coping with ill Patrick and turns to drink.

Shabnam inherits 10k and tries to give it to a Tamwar but he declines.

Max is dating dc summerhayes.

Peter it turns out was Lucy's coke dealer.

I can't think of anything else! Join the eastenders thread, loads of storyline updates there and in the previous thread

Humph. Poor Abby!

Shirley shot Phil on Phil and Sharon's wedding day, ran away, got back together with an ex boyfriend called Buster who is apparently the love of her life (who was Phil then?) and the father of her two sons, Dean and Mick.....because yes, apparently Mick is Shirley's son - he doesn't know.

Most recently Shirley and Mick have found Shirley's mum has been living secretly with Aunt Babe, she has dementia. Mick thinks that is why she has forgotten having him, when actually she never did, her only children are Shirley and Tina.

Which means Linda was raped by her bil, and the baby she is carrying might be Mick's niece or nephew....

HTH

Shirley shot Phil in the stomach on his wedding day and he was discharged from hospital about 10 Minutes later.
Ronnie is updufffed by Charlie Cotton who isn't a real policeman but a care worker.

Anyone have a quick summary of the clues to Lucy's murderer? I really haven't got a clue whats going on.

That's brilliant- thanks all. Did have a look at the eastenders thread but there's lots of it so it will make a bit more sense now I have an idea of what's been happening

I started watching again a few weeks ago - I was expecting elaborate make-up for Kat's burns. But she didnt seem to have any scars at all...?
