EASTENDERS 29 - no SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Seems not much has changed

STU story still isn’t finished. When will mick be released and did STU shoot hisself

No one has baby abi yet

Who knows about shaz and kneanu and is sending messages

When will Kat see her kids

When will Alfie appear

When will the square find out about Hayley and Alfie

What will happen to tiff and druggy boyfriend

And poor Bernie being shunted by tiff

It can only be the footage Amy took of Rainie and Jack but why would she show it to Cora? They aren't related at all are they so when wojld they have spent time together? The footage hasn't been mentioned since it was originally shown though.

Ah I also thought about Babe when Margate was mentioned and thought it was same place as she sold babies from?

I'm now wondering if that's who Stu speaks to on the phone asking if they've visited etc? Would be an interesting twist!

Hayley's mum really is as evil and twisted as Aunt Babe so them being friends wouldn't be a shock. She is awful though and I want to set at the way she gaslights Hayley

Yes Kat was badly scared half face and neck arms and legs but now she is fine. Scaring dosnt go away.

Glad it’s not just me Confused about drugs and Tiff. Are they on or off can’t keep up! Why would he give drugs as freebie then want cash?? Jealous? Though he keeps finding excuses for her to owe him
Money so keep waiting her go on game. But guess gang wise more likely her to deliver drugs. Where is Whit? Why does no one stop her going to school looking that tarty?? I mean if they can’t control what she looks like going out if he door she needs to go home.

The mind boggles that Haley’s mum knows anyone who can get hands on £100k, not exactly her social circles is it.

Why would he give drugs as freebie then want cash??

That’s how they do it to get kids in their debt so they owe them favours like delivering drugs or weapons. He would have come to keegan eventually and said “remember that freebie I gave you? Well you owe me now, I need you to do this for me” and if keegan didn’t he would have been beaten up or his family threatened.

Yes the caravan in Margate was where they took Shirley to to have Mick.

I was convinced in my head the caravan was in Clacton, but a quick look on line and it was in Ramsgate - they all went there to scatter Stan's ashes and Babe set light to the van. Shirley was sent there to have Mick.
Margate isnt that far from Ramsgate.
Bev knowing Babe - birds of a feather there!
i wish they would just let Tiff be friends with Bernie - its a nice double act and she was so nice to her when Lou and bex were not.
get shot of the dodgy drug dealer!

If Bev knows Babe of course! it does seem strange she mentioned Margate though.

Yes I think it means something that they mentioned a caravan in Margate wrt a baby selling story. They drip subtle clues I think.

I'm perplexed about the baby buying arrangements.
100K?
I presume she'd want it in cash too, not like you can buy a black market baby with a cheque or bank transfer.
Wouldn't withdrawing that amount raise some red flags?
Or when Hailey's mother ties to deposit it somewhere? Or is she planning on keeping it under her mattress?

I'm stunned that the kent coastal towns are such a hot bed of baby selling - who knew?!?!?

If they can get £100k for a baby what can I get for a messy 13 year old with a selection of bad cd's and a messy bedroom?

Margate's only an hour & a half in the car, willing to travel!

I’m wondering who would buy a baby. Are there no babies in care anymore? How do they get round the birth certificate thing? Do they tell registrar that Mum had no antenatal care and gave birth at home without a midwife?

Dodgy people buy babies!

Like criminals who wouldn’t be able to adopt?

I’ve never registered a child but apparently you don’t need proof the child is yours or say which hospital he or she was born in. You just show your ID which can be faked. Is that right?

Is there such a thing as private adoption? They'd nev r know money exchanged hands I guess. Although presumably Hayley would need to agree so doing it by stealth wouldn't work.

Yes, criminals, or sicko paedo’s yet to be caught. This story is now making me wonder how often it happens IRL.

It makes me shudder to think what goes on with vulnerable babies being sold.
I'm sure it does go on.

Oh yes, shudder is right!

I can’t even remember what I had to do when I registered my babies. In fact my mum registered my first baby so I guess it’s simple enough for anyone to do it. Anyone could borrow a baby and register it as theirs for child benefit or tax credits!

How will they explain missing baby to social worker?

I've never registered a child : it was my dh that did that. I don't think they even asked for Id in the 90s.
You did get a form from the hospital though :
someone also came round about it all whilst I was in there. Probably all changed now ; ' download an app' or something.

I'm sure the Social would re visit a case such as Hayley ; although as she has moved I guess it's not easy to keep track?

Yes I suspect the SW would just be told that Hayley and baby had moved away and Bev had no address for her as they’d fallen out. That would be pretty believable as they don’t have a good relationship anyway.

Lol at the idea of buying a baby via BACS transfer!

I think I'd struggle to give 14yo ds away with 100k sweetener atm 😂😂
