washing sounds entirely plausible! 
A few vague spoilers for October-December:
A new person is joining, probably a regular, and their scenes are very funny. They have a strong CV and we may recognise them.
There will be another ‘community cheer’ storyline, interlaced with big drama. That’s probably why the stage set and picnic arrangements are there.
The boat will feature in a big storyline.
Someone who went to prison is making a return (hopefully Tyler but they probably mean Finn)
They are currently casting for a 14-16 year old child and there are rumours of a new family coming-where will they live, though?
Aaron and David have a strong storyline coming up after the painkiller addiction.
The Kennedys will have a challenging Christmas.
There will be big festive revelations, and Paul and Piper in particular will have a Christmas they’ll never forget.
