New thread for Eastenders gossipers! Who will come back from the dead next?
Will the Bobby storyline ever end?
Will Claudette ever decide on an accent?

I don't really know

Mick had to make jack think he was gay, it was a dare

MissBattleaxe · 28/12/2015 22:13

I don't think mickle will have an affair but I interpreted whitney's long look at him as maybe the start of a crush.

NotWorkingOut · 28/12/2015 22:17

There was definitely something about the way Whitney looked at him! I get the feeling Lee will accuse them of having an affair because the bit he overheard was her saying she wouldn't say anything til after the wedding so she didn't ruin it for mick.

The monitor made me laugh though cos obviously with them being so far away in the next room, he'd never have heard them without it!

I thought it looked like Whitney developing a crush, Mick would never cheat on Linda! over invested

Did Mick tell Jack he had to convince him that he's an iron? Is that cockney for gay? Other than my inability to understand cockney, I did quite enjoy that exchange between Mick and Jack.

Martin annoyed me when he asked Stacey if he could go to the stag. I get they're trying to give the impression that everyone is too busy and wrapped up in themselves to notice Stacey is ill but it's so unrealistic!

I liked the Billy/Honey proposal scene, very sweet and Ronnie actually smiled. It's a Christmas miracle!

What's the iron slang?

Jasonandyawegunorts · 28/12/2015 22:31

Iron Hoof

Jasonandyawegunorts · 28/12/2015 22:31

or... Iron Stent?

Jasonandyawegunorts · 28/12/2015 22:34

Iron and Clay....

magicstar1 · 28/12/2015 22:38

Iron hoof is the one I thought too

LineyReborn · 28/12/2015 22:40

It's a bit ... On The Buses.

Jasonandyawegunorts · 28/12/2015 22:42

eastenders double standards!!!!

CFSsucks · 28/12/2015 22:54

I thought the look Whitney gave Mick was odd as well. Way too longingly.

Thank fuck Shirley has finally seen the truth! Buster definitely didn't think Dean was innocent. They often show him looking doubtful whenever Shirl is defending Dean.

Jasonandyawegunorts · 28/12/2015 22:55

The actress who played Whitney was thrown out of ASDA a few years back for smearing yoghurt over her breasts, in the centre of the shop, to impress her boyfriend.

amysmummy12345 · 28/12/2015 22:56

ghost I thought exactly the same thing when I heard about fatboy... Talk about double standards!!! Cathy was welcomed back with open arms!

VashtaNerada · 28/12/2015 22:59

So glad Shirley's seen the truth about Dean. Her and Roxy were his only allies really.
And if "iron" does mean "poof" then bloody hell EE, not okay! Wonder if that was some DD ad-libbing rather than in the script.

ghostspirit · 28/12/2015 22:59

amy indeed. but i did not realise it was 1994 omg. i was child free then... mad

LineyReborn · 28/12/2015 23:06

Yeah, pp perfectly correct. Iron = poof.

nancy75 · 28/12/2015 23:06

Iron hoof does mean poof and is one of the only realistic bits of rhyming slang that Mick has ever used in eastenders.

firefly78 · 28/12/2015 23:29

why did honey come back?

nancy75 · 28/12/2015 23:31

Honey came back from Canada because Willian's modelling career didn't work out

firefly78 · 28/12/2015 23:34

its just the same characters and storylines going round and round isnt it!! they all came back eventually!

notquitehuman · 28/12/2015 23:41

Soap characters should really watch out for those baby monitors. And know that when someone is 'passed out drunk' or in a coma they can still hear you.
