EastEnders: the SPOILERS thread!

That was a hard watch, Jessie really pulled out all the stops. I was swithering between wanting give Kat a hug or a good old EE slap.
Im not an Alfie/Shane fan but I felt desperately sorry for him and those poor kids 😢

I thought that Amy invited Lily and then she told Ricky and they all piled in, but I admit I don’t always pay attention sometimes! He can’t live far away as they all got there on no time and none of them drive.
Although I can see Nugget with a sports car in a few years time ( not getting a permit or clamped of course )

When the writers cba to look up flight details and airports , it’s no wonder people dont bother watching even allowing for ‘ poetic licence ‘ !

I was going to say I remember someone flying to a long haul destination and going to City which didn’t make sense as think you can only go to UK/European destinations from City. It’s a business travel or short weekend break airport.

Amy showing her immaturity and age by letting the other teens in. How convenient there were no pictures of Craig laying around in the flat. Well there was one of him but she put it face down. IRL a curious friend like Lily would 100% want to know what this cool older boyfriend looks like, show me his Instagram etc. When I was 17 we were always vetting each others boyfriends. When Amy said he was 24 is that what she actually believes or is she deliberately lying to protect him?

Keaneau Reeves would have piloted his own plane (like Bruce Dickinson out of Iron Maiden or John Travolta though I'm not sure Keaneau is a pilot he just looks like he could be !)

Kathy flew to South Africa and asked for City Airport when she got in the cab. That would be a Gatwick or Heathrow departure surely .

I watched this weeks but missed last week and CBA catching up.

Amy was a bit of a cheeky mare letting all her friends pile into Craigs flat .

Ken ! Of course
The idea of Reeves flying out of stansted! Maybe a private jet ..

80s
I should have said "Your Ken"
You'd know immediately who I was talking about 😆

I read that as Keanu Reeves! Lol

Keanu Taylor flew from Stansted!
Obvs slumming it

And they all seem to fly from City Airport which is stormingly expensive !

Same as cabs to Heathrow apparently being affordable for pub/cafe workers from East London....

So true!

Kat might have changed at Liverpool st if Walford is on one of those lines and hopped onto the Central line to Epping. Seems an unlikely detour to make in her state and Epping Forest is huge so she could get to it easily in an Uber from where Walford is supposed to be situated. But again, EE is not about realism when it comes to London life!

The tube goes wherever they want to because it’s EE. Where changing tube trains or whatever isn’t needed , it’s all just laid on for them.

And Kat was on a Tube Train that had Pink/Maroon/Green/Yellow patterns on the seat .
So Hammersmith/Metropolitain/District/Circle
Epping is on the Central which is Red !

Eastie ! Oh no
Its hard on the residents and shop owners isn’t it.
So unfair isn’t it

Mark seems tormented by what he did to Ryder to be fair.

I once parked my car outside Hoxton station for 15 mins and came back to find a ticket but Walford is an alternative universe.

I also drove to a paint shop in Islington, off Upper Street if anyone knows it, a couple of weeks ago as I had to pick up heavy pots of paint. I darted into the shop and the owner said oh no oh you can’t leave the car for even 2 minutes as there will be a traffic warden hiding in the garden bushes opposite the shop. I thought she was joking but sure enough I turned around to see a warden literally climbing out of the bushes in someone’s front garden, ready to issue me with a ticket!

Lauren got a job once at canary wharf !
They even went on location.
Now she is barely seen in the car sales office anymore.
Too busy booking up bougie hotels with Mr muscle ( who I now hate after what he did to Ryder )

There is at least one gangster per ten normalish people.

No employment is available outside of Walford. And on the odd chance you find it it goes tits up. Know your place.

Now! Nail on the head !
Plus always becoming pregnant after a ons and your own bed in the hospital in a room on your own.
many many soap tropes that don’t even register with me much amymore because they live in a parallel universe from everyone else

Aah that's one of the miracles of TV -

*There is always an available parking spot right outside the address you need to get to.

*Parking restrictions do not apply.

*Newborn babies are massive.

*Back doors are always unlocked, especially when there are serial killers around.

*Phil's safe always has a spare 100k, The Black Hoodie, The Invisibility Beanie and The Gun.

*You can always get a job at The Chippy, The Cafe, The Pub or The Club

And most importantly

*There will always be room for you cos you're faaaahmly

The writers probably never go to the East end or many parts of London , it’s a mystery to them all ( even though they have the internet to look it all up )
But like having one bag to go abroad and leaving the doors open and having affairs on their own door step , it is another world

She used to live here, so bitter experience!

That’s handy with your landlady being switched on like that! I had to buy my ones from the council.
Dh’s late parents had them too, he wrote on one in pencil and got a fine 🙄
