Eastenders chit chat

[Blondeshavemorefun]

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 :)

[OwlCapone]

I knew he was studying something and surely must be 18 to be working in the bar. It doesn't add up.

[OwlCapone]

Nancy is 21.

[OwlCapone]

"Upon the character's announcement, Treadwell-Collins explained that in their fictional backstory, Mick and Linda have been married for over twenty years"

Mick can't be 36 then.

[PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline]

If Lee is 22, Nancy 21 and Johnny 19, Mick could be 38/39.

Shirley is probably 53/54.

[OwlCapone]

How old was he when Shirley tried to drown him?

[MissWimpyDimple]

That's fair enough, but if mick is 38/39 and Tina just had her 40th birthday, there is no way she could remember the painting and drowning incident with such clarity! Even is Mick was 18 months when it happened she could only be 2/3?

Is lee is 22, I suppose it's possible that Linda and mick were 16 when he was born?

[OwlCapone]

I was trying to work out Tina's memory of the drowning incident too. If Mick has blocked it from his memory it would work with Tina being 4 or so.

"Upon the character's announcement, Treadwell-Collins explained that in their fictional backstory, Mick and Linda have been married for over twenty years"

Mick can't be 36 then.

They could've married at 16. It is pushing it a bit though. If that's the case then they obviously wanted the Shirley/Mum storyline as well as all the kids so this was the only way they could cram it all in.

How old is DD in rl?

[Coumarin]

36 in rl.
Kellie Bright is 37. They rarely stick with actors real ages though so I'm guessing they're both supposed to be younger.

I'm so confused.

[Coumarin]

Oh. I meant 'older'.

[misstiredbuthappy]

We have to wait to monday now :( hope shirley explains how old she was when she had him might explain things

[bleedingheart]

So how old was Linda when she was doing the page 3 modelling? Because the pub regulars were all searching for 'Linda Carter' implying she was married by then.

I thought maybe they could have looked at Shirley's self-destructive/destructive behavior without a suppressed motherhood storyline to add to the mix.

YY to Tanya failing as a parent. AGAIN.

[GarlicMayonnaise]

We have to wait to monday now - Argh, nooooo!!!

Is Something Important on tonight instead? What could possibly be more important???!


... The Chelsea Flower Show

Hrrmph.

[GarlicMayonnaise]

Everybody has to fail as a parent in Walford, don't they? It's the law.

[OwlCapone]

They could've married at 16

Not if they've been married for over 20 years. As in 20-something. With a 22 year old son.

It just doesn't add up!

And I think we are too involved in this :)

[Blondeshavemorefun]

maybe they married at 16 and she was preg with eldest, hence why they went ape shit when trying to stop wedding of daughter marrying her black boyfriend , who btw she didnt seem to miss/want/mourn him

why didnt they just make mich older then late 30's in ee

[Coumarin]

Oh yes Owl Can't be right then.

Eastenders needs a site like Corrie have/used to have, where all the characters are listed with dob, family etc. especially given how blardy complicated the Easties relationships are.

[misstiredbuthappy]

If mick is 38 he could of married and had a baby at 16 meaning hes got a 22 year old and been married 22 years.

Shirley could be 53 meaning she would of been 15 when she had him ......

Maybe we need to see birth certificates

[PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline]

If they hadn't thrown Tina a 40th birthday party then I would be living in ignorant bliss about their ages right now.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

When is they say mick is 2 years younger then his 40 sister

Plus rare to have Shirley if 53ish ad then sister 13ish years later

[misstiredbuthappy]

I wonder if tina is shirleys too ?

[HeyJules]

Complete change of topic... When is Kat having her twins! I'm thinking june time? What are we thinking? 2 boys, 2 girls or one of each? I actually sort of want it to be 2 boys. But then again Alfie would be amazing as a dad to a little girl

[Harrin]

I thought it was round about the beginning of September? I hope not one of each, a bit boring as boy/girl twins have already been done with Lucy and Peter. I agree I'd like to see Alfie as a dad to a little girl.

How far in advance do they film? Is it six weeks? Because I saw Jessie Wallace in a musical earlier this week (she was really good btw) and she said in an interview for it that she was off EE for a month for rehearsals then only in for a handful of times during the shows run. The show runs 8th May-8th June. So I think maybe she'll disappear soon and return in July sometime? She's not in it much at the moment anyway so only an odd scene here and there and we wouldn't notice she was missing really

[HeyJules]

Oh maybe September! I'm trying to remember when she announced the pregnancy. And wow jessie Wallace in a musical?? Would never have thought that! Didn't think of her as a singer.

[OwlCapone]

It was Christmas Day wasn't it? Didn't she wrap up the pregnancy test for Alfie as a gift?
