Welcome to the EastEnders spoilers thread, where we post and talk about any EE spoilers we've read about, including those in early release episodes on iPlayer.

Link below to watch episodes on BBC iPlayer - these are usually dropped at 6am on broadcast days - and you can read brief synopses of upcoming episodes:

Good to know I'm not the only one.

Amy's storyline is solid though really upsetting. Probably the best thing they have got going right now.

I agree with both your posts @LateLifeReturnee
I don't find Mark attractive and the actor is mediocre. I don't see any chemistry with Lauren.
And with both the Lauren and Ryder storylines, they desperately want to conceal what they are doing, yet do it in the square near 20 billion people who know them.

And Lauren and Mark - just want to shake her. Again, makes no sense to me. But I don't find the actor that plays Mark that attractive, or the storyline believable.

The gay son storyline is just not landing for me at all. Maybe because my own son didn't really have a coming out story beyond us acknowledging he was gay around 14/15. Finding out he was bisexual a few years later wasn't a big deal either.

Trained counselor who is able to almost magically cure Ian can't recognise and have compassion for gay son? He never dealt with a gay soldier?

I know, indeed have known, some parents that couldn't recognise their own children problems while helping others, but this just doesn't land right.

Spoiler - Watching the pub scene this morning was just cringey. Maybe that's the big new angle, homophobic foitballers.

Thank you for the new thread @Southeastdweller

I agree I don't think Jamie Bamber will be around long term. They are throwing so much at him quickly he'll crash and burn.

We know how Wadey loves duplicating plots (we're still going through wrong daddy x 2) so I wouldn't be surprising if he is going with closeted dad ashamed of gay son. I can't think why else Ned would be so vehemently homophobic.

The one thing you can say about Wadey is he's entirely predictable.

Thanks for the new thread South.

I'm really only half watching EE these days. The plot lines are so absurd, it's making me disinterested.

I mean this latest Lee and Nancy one wtaf?!? Poor Jess getting involved in that nightmare scenario.

Checking for tomorrow's lunacy. Thanks for the new thread!

Thank you!

Thank you south!
Nice new thread for October spoilers.
I agree that Ned hasn’t been written well at all up to now.

MyWildOliveGoose · 11/10/2026 21:40

Thanks for the new thread.

I agree the character write up of Ned doesn’t make sense. We will just have to see how it plays out.
