EastEnders 8 - No spoilers, please!

[southeastdweller]

A new thread for the new year

Will the truth come out about how Roxy and Ronnie died yesterday?
Will the new exec producer lose his obsession with bins?
Has Max really forgiven Jane, Ian and Phil?
What secret does the new 'Chelle have?
Will Johnny Sausage learn to act?
Is Denise going to go through with the adoption?
What's going to happen with Lee?
What are your hopes for EE this year?

Come and discuss here!

I think I would like if Michelle continue to act like everything is beneath her. It is good to have different types of people in soaps. She hasn't mentioned wine or alcohol at all up until now and she is now on a bottle a night. Drowning her sorrows. Okay we get it producers, we don't have to be spoonfed!

What brochure was Becs looking at? It was too dark for me to read it. Is she off to school in Sonia's? As for posting videos of girls undressing online - enough already with the teenage 'social media is dangerous' storylines. We get it, most viewers are aware of it. We aren't the target audience these stories need to be aimed at.

The Nuchelle cocktail , white wine, a dash of vodka and bitter tears.

Is Jack developing Ongar issues? He needs to go on an Ongar management course.

Can you get power of attorney if the person is already incapacitated? I thought they needed to be able to give informed consent.

I wondered if they were going to have Dodgy Mate steal Shakky's phone and send the pics of Bex to everyone whilst he was throwing up tequila.

Jack got back and forth to Essex mighty quick in rush hour. Seems Matthew is permanently asleep these days...

Soup - i think you've hit the nail on the head re incapacity, do you not already need to have a doc completed that states if you lose capacity then you give permission for X person to act on your behalf?

or could you apply for temporary guardianship? getting over invested in EE again

There must be a way to access Linda's mum's finances surely. It's not even be mentioned. Can't limp Sausage advise on the legalities?

I agree, Matthew is on his sleepathon again. He'll come downstairs when he's 12 and has some lines.

"Sausage spends more time these days being a nosey, interfering little tosspot makeshift detective."

😂😂😂

A Nuchelle cocktail and a Johnny sausage - sounds like one of Babe's 'themed nights'.
Michael Moon actor was in Silent Witness last night - looking thinner than ever. Made me misty eyed for real baddies such as him and Janine.
Power of attorney does take a while to set up and the fact 'E' is abroad may muddy the waters - really do not know. Linda needs some proper legal advice - what would people do in real life I wonder? its a shame the insurance lapsed - must happen to people though. Elaine must have plenty of assets in her pub, as I;ve said before - unless she is just managing it and doesn't own it? I feel for Mick really -

Mick needs to sort out his money problems the normal soap way - set fire to the pub to claim insurance, only to find that L comes back and confesses she didn't renew the insurance this year. Just ask Frank Butcher and Alfie Moon, honestly hasn't someone left a training manual on this by now?

This thread is hilarious. Ongar issues, the Nuchelle cocktail and burning down the Vic .
I also thought Shakil's nasty mate would send the Bex photo around. Seems like that type of story has been brewing a while.
Miss Michael and Janine, couldn't they have resurrected him from the dead instead of Kaff and her awful drunk Catherine Tate Nan impressions. Also, has Derek just disappeared?

They seem to be randomly bringing back old characters for a couple of episodes and then sodding them off again: Derek, Libby, Colin (the one who wanted Dot at his wedding) and that Alcoholic woman at Phil's AA meeting months ago. Julie was it? Don't see the point.

Training manual 😁soap woman on this morning gave away the sex Denise is having I was raging

Of the baby*

the sex Denise is having the mind boggles

Poor old Denise. Now is a probably a good time to come clean about her adoption plans. The main person against it is her sister and she seems to have missed the flight home from her holiday and is swanning about in the sun. Husband and Pearl have been home a while now.

I think sex is the last thing on her mind 😀 how did Mick jump from a mere mention of Buster to Denise had an affair with buster.

Grant burned down the Vic for insurance also didn't he??

Think so should be re named the phoenix risen that much from the ashes

"The Phoenix" he he .

Perhaps the Carter's should set up a Just Giving thing on the Internet? Johnny Sausage could sort that out. His laptop is permanently glued to his arm anyway.

I love this thread!

I think the idea with briefly bringing back characters is to make it more realistic. Just seems weird in a soap though!

I think Michael is alive & somehow managed to fake his death. He's been hiding out at some woman's guest house after convincing her he was her brother who'd had plastic surgery after some mysterious "incident". They're lining it up for a Silent Witness/EE crossover storyline, it'll be epic.

Ongar issues.

Phil's beard was looking very odd last night. I think some of his jaundice leaked onto it and now it's half yellow.

The thing is Shirl will be just as upset that the baby is Phil's, she was only tolerating buster, she is totes still in love with Phil for some unknown reason

Most women in the square have fallen under the spell of Phil and cant seem to shake him off - Sharon always been obsessed by him, Shirley is too and ready to pounce at any opportunity.
When I read up on old characters and plot lines his name seems to crop up with most of the characters old and new. He must have something going for him( that smell of booze maybe?) even if he has been dry for ages.
Agun, I like the idea of the Moon being hidden away somewhere - not really dead of course. They never really are dead, just hanging around waiting for the call to come back to it all. Just giving online for Mick and co is a brilliant idea - they could set up their own charity - only for Lee to come along and steal all the money. Setting fire to things (R and R when it was something else, the Vic, the car lot, the arches) has been done to death but I wouldn't put it past the writers turning Mick into an arsonist. They could kill off a few characters that way maybe??

.. also Alfie moon set light ( badly ) to his own home too. Fire is a big theme in soaps.
