So who killed Lucy?

Will Ben have a new head?

When will Grant know he has a son via Michelle?

And many other tantilising thoughts that are going through my mind while I'm laying on a sunny beach using maccy D's free wifi :)

So my guess is they needed a scene between duff duff cafe one and it being the next day with Tina calling at Carol's, so they shoved the Roxy/Tam/computer one in. Made no sense though. Blardy football.

CuppaHorlix · 04/07/2014 17:07

Nikki's voice is criminal. So irritating!
What's gonna happen with the lady in the wheel chair I wonder? She's obviously got her eyes on Terry.

I'm still always thinking about who dun Lucy in. Anyone think Aleks may have something to do with it? He does seem pretty wealthy for his job. Perhaps he was her drug dealer.

I really hope him and Roxy stay together. She deserves some happiness! I miss Kat she needs to be in it more. Anyone know when the twins are due? Is it around September? Dean/Linda could be an interesting storyline but he's making it so creepy, can't tell if it's deliberate or not!

CuppaHorlix · 04/07/2014 17:08

oh and who else loves Tam? "so what's that when you like don't eat for a munf?" "Well no...that would be physically impossible."

bleedingheart · 04/07/2014 17:10

I agree Diesel, I think Bianca will get involved with the dealing or deal something stronger and get caught.

Hope Nikki is written out of it soon. Her voice is incredibly harsh sounding.

AGnu · 04/07/2014 18:08

I'm predicting that Carol's going to get caught but somehow Bianca will take the blame, since she got them into the debt in the first place. She'll see it as her way of taking responsibility... This is after she's had an argument with Nikki & thinks Terry doesn't love her & about the time that Sonia & Martin finally split up so she'll move in to help with the kids. Nikki will let slip what she said to Bianca & Terry will kick her out before realising there's nothing keeping them on the square with Bianca gone & moving the kids to wherever it is that Cindy's gone so TJ can see his baby.

Wht did nikki say to bianca?

Mandy2003 · 04/07/2014 20:24

Is Alecks taking a Bag 'o' Drugs to Latvia?!

NigellasGuest · 04/07/2014 21:56

no that bag had Tina's overnight things in it as they were off to stay with Aunt Babe

Thisvehicleisreversing · 04/07/2014 22:55

I think Aleks killed Lucy too.

He started off as a bit part but since the murder he's definitely in the show more. I think they're going to build his part up and he'll maybe marry Roxy so we'll see what a great bloke he his then.... duh, duh, duh, MURDERER!!

STOPwiththehahaheheloling · 04/07/2014 23:13

What would his motive have been for killing lucy? '

Thisvehicleisreversing · 04/07/2014 23:31

Either because he was her dealer or she turned down his advances?

Maybe he's wanted in Latvia?

STOPwiththehahaheheloling · 04/07/2014 23:36

Do you know i dont think EE know what they are doing or where they are going with the lucy storyline. It was all too sudden and no build up at all. By the time they reveal the killer we'll all have forgotten the circumstances leading up to it so it will just be a "oh right, so it was X? Very good"

Ive noticed a lot of 'rushed' writing in soaps recently and it's putting me right off watching. They nee to settle down and do some decent writing.

CuppaHorlix · 05/07/2014 00:03

Complete change of topic but where have the Brannings gone? I know they can't include everyone in every episode but what happened with Max and that copper? Or whatever she was? And where are Lauren and Abi? STill waiting for Lola and Jay to get together!

Oh and Ben...there was talk about him for about 3 and a half minutes. Is he going to make a surprise appearance sometime soon?

STOPwiththehahaheheloling · 05/07/2014 00:07

^see! Completely disjointed writing. People disappearing without explanation. People not being in it then suddenly being pregnant gangsters with guns in their bedside table who really must leave walford because someone else got beat up.

They need to all sit down at the same time and share notes.

SilveryMoon · 05/07/2014 01:19

I think the Roxyand Alecs storyline will fizzle into nothing. I'm liking Denise for killing Lucy.
Haven't seen tonight's (friday) if it was on

differentnameforthis · 05/07/2014 02:02

I thought we were supposed to be finding out lots of stuff about Lucy that we didn't know, since her murder?

I don't think I have learnt anything new about her, expect she tried to get the drunken Jake home...

CuppaHorlix · 05/07/2014 02:10

so disjointed..getting a bit silly!
Silverymoon it was on tonight...more of Nikki's make-your-ears-bleed-voice.

Differentnameforthis I thought that too..perhaps nearer the time we will start to find stuff out. They may start slowly revealing stuff in the autumn. Also impatient to know what's going on with the Cotton's and the funeral director folk!
I'm glad Mo has been in it recently. She does provide some fabulous comic relief.

oxygenna · 05/07/2014 02:57

The Cotton and undertaker stuff is intriguing.

Hooray Nikki has gone. Dull character.

I didn't like that Roxy drugged Alex (laxatives?) Imagine the other way round if he had done that to her!

Also, wondering why/when Bianca took out loans. I thought David, up until he left, had been pitching in, plus paying for treatment with all that money he blackmailed off Janine. Not much time can have elapsed since then for Bianca to run up such a debt surely? And, knowing their precarious financial situation (of the Jacksons) and Carol's health I don't think he would have gone and left them unprovided for. And what happened to his share of the car lot?

WheelsOnFire1 · 05/07/2014 03:29

Exactly what I was thinking oxygenna...David seemed to be loaded! I suppose we are meant to think that he offered them money but Carol and Bianca were too proud to accept.

Agree with a post further up that Whitney could help out more. She's a teacher's assistant which granted doesn't may huge amounts but she's living at home so I assume doesn't have many extra costs... I suppose she may already be paying rent to Bianca to help out.

And sorry but the whole "go to McClunky's" thing drives me mad. It happens far too much in real life too. People complain about money issues but will spend £20 in the chippy or on a Dominos! Silly Bianca

Coumarin · 05/07/2014 04:37

Tonight's duff duffs were rubbish. I thought Fridays were supposed to be the big ones. The cliff hanger for over the weekend.

Bit mean but I'd be Hmm at being taught an exercise class by Sonia. I know she's not huge or anything but her teaching Linda looked daft.

Optimist1 · 05/07/2014 06:56

Can someone clarify how things stand between Dot and Charlie? I thought that she knew he wasn't kosher and had told him to sling his hook, but last night he was strolling in to her kitchen with a bunch of flowers. These jerky storylines that go dormant for weeks at a time are irritating me!

jaynebxl · 05/07/2014 07:46

These jerky storylines that go dormant for weeks at a time are irritating me!

This. I don't remember that EE used to have so many hanging storylines that go off the boil. I've lost interest in so many of them that there's not much left to watch.

differentnameforthis · 05/07/2014 08:50

And what happened to his share of the car lot?

carol mentioned that David had left Max high & dry by taking his share out of the car lot already, when Bianca was whinging about him not being around missing him.

Can't remember how long ago it was, less than a weeks worth of episodes (we get 4 a week here) after he left?

differentnameforthis · 05/07/2014 08:55

Optimist1 Didn't Charlie pass her doubts off (she went to the station to see him, didn't she) as him having been undercover so they had to deny knowing him....or something? He did explain it away, as I remember, but in a way that only a grandma might believe...

Optimist1 · 05/07/2014 10:51

Thanks, different, I'm sure you're right but it really made no impression on me or my memory!
