What was the point of the towel in the suitcase?

You should always travel with a towel. Have you not watched or read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy??

I havent been a walk on passenger on a ferry since the 1980s, so no idea if they scan or weigh the cases or not - they dont in cars , so maybe he is going to hire a car in dover , which wouldnt make any sense either? ( not sure you could do that to go abroad, as he would have to drive it back again maybe?) I dont know.

I am sure that customs would query such a huge amount?

Anyway, lets see if Mel or somebody else follows him there.
takes forever to get over the bridge at Thurrock - she might catch up with him. A cab fare would be huge.

Just checking in. Mel looks weird because of bad botox I feel.

I'm just hoping for no new or new old characters tonight.

I can't quite believe how forgotten Abi has become.

It had so much potential for a really emotive storyline and it's just been bypassed.

The towel in the suitcase is obvious, it's so they can't see the money when they put the case through the x ray machine (towels are x ray proof aren't they )

Another thing about putting the money in a coffin is how did they know that it was going to be buried and not cremated???

The mo su was supposed to be in a coffin that wasn’t going to be buried or cremated - the mix up was for dramatic ( or comedy) effect!

I've walked on a ferry before about 15 years ago and they never scanned our bags then.

I did feel sorry for poor Karen but I'm hoping it's that they need 2 people in there.
Can just see Dot and Karen in the laundrette.
Fag in hand "oh I say you can see your under garment strap"

Wtf is Mel doing back, though?! And was she talking to Auden re: Ben having the money? How did she know?!

And just...wtf!!??

Towels feature heavily on EE, remember Chelle and buying those expensive towels for hard up Martin and Stacey? they love a towel, it hides lots of money as well from the customs and excise people ( if cases are scanned?)
Not sure who Mel is working for - Ciara phoned up somebody the other week and said ' time to come back' so a quick guess its her that has Mel for working for her, but i dont know. It could be Aidan?

Ben was funny though with his taxi instructions, then he messed around a bit before driving off! you would just get in the car and go.

The Arches is a in a weird place, as dh pointed out, how do the punters get their cars in and out of that narrow place?I would have laughed if he had said to Mel ' okay, bring the car round ' when she clearly didnt have a car for him to have a look at. Will Phil now have to go back or will he have to employ somebody else?

Bit late catching up with the thread but Blondes your little one is gorgeous! So cute 😊

I don't understand why Ben is doing all this to be honest or why he has to abscond. Also getting a bit bored of Ciara/Mel money situation...who cares...

I really hope Karen keeps her job! Maybe they are looking for more than one person...

Can you imagine wisecracking Karen and Dot in the same launderette?
Dot and her out the back ' aving a fag' and gossiping about the regulars. If Stacey ever comes back with her brood of kids, there will be plenty of work for them, not to mention Karen's own children. the washing must pile up for her.
Yes, they need it open again.

A taxi from London to Dover. He will need to open his suitcase to pay for that one. Probably the last mode of transport anyone would use. I don't think money would show up on an x-ray machine at the port. They are only worried about explosives and weapons. There are no customs to speak of between EU countries, unlikely he would get searched.

As for Ian rejecting Jane's call. I seriously was very close to giving up at that point after 25 years of watching.

How old is Tiffany supposed to be? Wouldn't someone have rung Bianca to check.

Martin is not bothered by not knowing where his bipolar wife is with 3 small children including one with a heart condition and one premature baby.

Have they switched off Abi yet?

If you producers are reading this : We are not complete morons. Stop introducing new story lines. Clear up the old stuff.

Rant over

Well done lazy mum. I agree.

Yup I actually shouted at the tv re: Ian rejecting janes call.

I'm fed up of the whole bloody lot of them

Something weird is going on with mel's teeth not sure what though

The thing is Ian was ignoring Janes call before Mel walked through the door, he looked at the phone for a good 3 rings.

If your missing wife phoned I think you’d pick up on the first ring.

Ian is always a weak man. I think seeing Mel back is very likely to distract him but from Jane? Really?

Yes I noticed something weird about mels teeth too!

The whole lot is such a load of tosh though. I keep threatening to stop watching but I can’t its like crack!

God I remember Nuchelle's towelgate!

I thought Stacey has gone to Jeans? Maybe I'm imagining that?!

Absolutely PMSL @ next scene: Ben goes overboard of a p and o

Just had a thought

What if Bens a decoy? What if there isn't money in the case all wrapped up and towelled and whilst they are chasing him someone escapes with the real loot.
Maybe the necklace being given to Kaff was so someone noticed and assumed Ben had money?

I watched last night's episode but must have glazed over at one point as I didn't realise the call Ian rejected was Jane. Why on earth would he do that? And as for him keeping Daisy at his house just to spite Masood, surely the writers can't possibly think someone like Ian would really do that.

This show is getting barmier by the minute.

1. loved the pictures of babyblondes.
2. wonder how long Mel will be back for?
3. been fantasising about all of us lot stuck in a room trying to sort out the state of eastenders, tie up the ludicrous storylines and coming up with new ones. Then writing the new scripts. I can imagine many hours work with torn up paper, old coffee cups and headaches. Do you think it's doable? Actually sorting out and restoring it?

You see eastenders has made me have loopy daydreams.

The only way to sort out the mess is as I suggested a few threads ago, have Jane waking up in bed at Home saying “wow, thank goodness it was all only a dream”
