Again lots of a Titanic similarities. Linda is Leo DiCaprio handcuffed to a pipe. Bex and Whitney have been hanging around at the back of the boat staring out to sea in a very Kate Winslet way. And now Ian the inept sailor loosing the keys to the door underwater and not bothering to find them —to be fair, it’s Denny, sink the little shit—. I am now expecting the gunshots to be Billy Zane on the staircase.

I didn't think you could wear stilletoes on boats

Chienloup · 18/02/2020 23:19

Okay, I'm upping my fatalities - Linda, Mick, Denny, Bex, and Whitney. Plus Leo.

I managed a work do on one a few years ago and noone told us we couldn't wear certain shoes.

PattiPrice · 18/02/2020 23:45

Ah I thought Phil was hiding on the deck of the boat. I didn't see he was in the Vic cellar. I'm surprised the Vic has any stock at all given the number of people who seem to easily access the storeroom!

Was it on NYE that they did the lapsed time episodes too? It worked way better than because it was shown from different character's viewpoints. This time it looks like mixed editing. We know Sharon can't leave. She's a staple in EE. What will keep her in the Square? Denny dying or the baby dying? It doesn't look like Keanu is going to get his 100K anyway so they don't have any money to run away. Did Kathy call an ambulance? I thought she did but in hindsight maybe she was ringing Peter to go to Bobby's bedside?

I'm sure all this is fun and very dramatic to film and work on set but it isn't working for me as a viewer at all. Not least because half the people on the boat are irrelevant to me as to whether they die or not!

PattiPrice · 18/02/2020 23:48

It reminds me of the bus crash landing on Martin. Its just being filmed for the sake of doing something dramatic.

Such a contrast to the episodes showing Ronnie and Roxy's deaths which had the right mixture of emotion and excitement.

This week's episodes just aren't cutting it at all.

nancy75 · 19/02/2020 00:08

I’m predicting a massive twist, none of the boat passengers will die, Leo is going to come back to life & kill Sonia, then we will all live happily ever after.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 19/02/2020 00:26

I think it'll be a miracle if Denny survives. Trapped in a room full which will soon be further of water and with no way out. Even if did survive h ed probably have severe brain damage due to lack of oxygen. That's not to I'm right th ough. Just my own theory.

tobee · 19/02/2020 01:42

Well I was right in my prediction that we wouldn't get much further on with what's going on. But totally wrong that we'd find out about Leo's amount of deadedness.

The thing with all these different viewpoints and puzzles is that we're just going to end up super confused. I don't know if we'll be able to remember all the bits of the puzzle as we're shown the truth.

tobee · 19/02/2020 01:43

It's not on tomorrow is it? Interesting because isn't the 19th actual anniversary?

tobee · 19/02/2020 01:44

Oh yeah! 'Chelle gave birth to Vicky in hospital! Grin

aprilfools19 · 19/02/2020 01:53

New to this thread! Has anyone yet suggested the possibility of Tracey dying? They seem to be making a point of showing her a lot and even giving her lines

I think either her or Tina. It’ll be a main character but not one that viewers will be really sad to see go. Tina is liked but I don’t think people would be devastated if she left. I know then when the old producer killed off both roxy and Ronnie there was such a backlash from it so I reckon the new producer won’t want to make the same mistake.
And it looks like Tina is going back onto the boat to find nick and Linda so it makes sense to be her

tobee · 19/02/2020 02:12

Hi April. Welcome!

Been thinking about who will die some more. Wondering if the twist is that someone will die who's not on the boat?

But now I'm doubting myself again! Grin

BeansOnToast123 · 19/02/2020 07:08

@PattiPrice I also thought Phil was on the boat, I’m sure mondays episode showed him hiding on it?

dogsdinnerlady · 19/02/2020 07:56

Awlookatmy....If Denny ended up with brain damage no one would notice. Why isn't Kaff questioning why Ben was in the funeral shop with a gun?

dogsdinnerlady · 19/02/2020 08:01

Also, how on earth can Dotty service cars with inch long nails?

itsgettingweird · 19/02/2020 08:05

Nancy I'm impressed with your hundreds of ways to kill of Sonja!

I'm finding it very confusing but it's clearly a good set of episodes as I'm suddenly hooked again and waiting for the next one.

Who will die? That's the thing. We are assuming it's big characters from the boat. But Leo and bobby are already half dead/dead. Then there's Callum. What about Keanu? We already thought he'd left the show anyway 😂

I also agree with whoever said we'll find out 8.29pm on Friday and then be annoyed all weekend until Monday. And I don't even get to watch Monday's as ds swims 7-9pm. I don't usually get to watch Fridays as he swims 6-8 but as it's later this week I can get home for it. Or at least watch it a little behind if I'm a few minutes late!

The80sweregreat · 19/02/2020 08:26

Nancy, I rather fear that Sonia will live through this as she did with the runaway bus and at Christmas and the siege with Ben and Hunter and various other disasters over the years.
We can but hope that the 60 th anniversary ones may be the year that 'super Sonia ' is no more? A big gas explosion in the hospital? After all, their patients are half the square most months and they all go in the special room at least once. (They could tie it in with an episode of Casualty for one big disaster. )
Or maybe the man that was knocked down by Martin at Christmas might show up for more money , see her with Leo and decide to kill them both off?
I know Denny is horrible and mean but to kill off a young teen would be a bit much : Ian has to find those keys. Sharon would never get over losing her child. She loves him too much and been through enough!

SoupDragon · 19/02/2020 08:27

I think Ian will go back for Denny. Or get help. I don't think he would leave Sharon's son to die.

SoupDragon · 19/02/2020 08:30

Phil is on the boat. He might have been in the cellar too but he is definitely on the boat. Ben runs up shortly after this screeenshot.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/02/2020 08:33

He didn’t really try to find the keys. No ducking under to look

And yes I thought as anniversary is today they would have had an episode squeezed in tonight

Amazing they all know which boat to go to eh? There are many boats of all kind moored up by the south bank by the London eye.
Phil was out the country a few weeks ago yet he rocks up knowing which boat to head for and exactly where it will be moored. Just in time as well. No delays on the easyJet back from Portugal or on the M11 back to east London ( which is grid locked most days ) oh no! All very easy and a stop off to pick up the gun on the way. As you do.
Still, at least all this is exciting. Must have blown the budget!
Maybe a few people will die? I hope Bobby lives as his ok.

The80sweregreat · 19/02/2020 08:38

Anyway , happy anniversary to our favourite soap and cheers to you all on here who make it so entertaining! We are the loyal fans and the ones that suspend belief on a weekly basis! Long may it continue.

I still wish Mo could be a victim. She should have gone a long time ago
