EASTENDERS 43 - NO SPOILERS - that means NOTHING TO BE DISCUSSED UNLESS SHOWN !!!!!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Wow. Fridays night and the death And murder of Chantelle 😢😢

That was moving and horrendous to watch while gray plans his alibi of her death With

In some ways she will silly to taunt him. And she should have left a message on Khareet phone instead of ringing it lots when went to ansa machine

She should have said she was leaving gray. She loved Khareet and last message was a ploy As gray found out

Then gray will be done for murder

All the other plot lines form previous thread have been sorted

Nice to have ee back after the break

Miks going be all depressed and sulky. Linda will think he doesn’t love her any more... runs into arms of Max. Though he has been in the most knickers in the square by far Well least she can’t move in with them as no room!!

I’m sure we had the policeman done a dodgy deal now in pocket of rouge policeman before? Can’t think who it was.

Mik wrote this girl letters mmmm hmmmn ok then he does seem the type

I'm also ignoring the Frankie silliness. She looks younger than Nancy, possibly younger than Jonny too, so can only assume Mick had an affair. The acting was truly (Danny) dire too. He's just awful.

Awww Max, God loves a tryer.

Callum and Ben will have to move to Spain and live in Grant's villa with him. Does Sam live there too? And Aunt Sal? Why does Sam never come to see Ricky? (Obviously there is the Daniella Westbrook issue, but they could recast).

Obviously there is the Daniella Westbrook issue, but they could recast

They already did! They replaced Daniella Westbrook for the last appearance of Sam a few years back.

Max is so funny. Does forget that every woman on the square knows his dating and cheating history and how bad he treats women?

I forgot to congratulate whoever predicted on the last thread that Whitney would be looking after Grey's children; my heart sank last night when she was already in their house.

That was not a hard think really Whitney caring for the kids we could all see it coming. I am getting the impression Danny dyer can't be arsed but needs the wages I can see him having an extended break soon.

I remember being well impressed that EE had landed movie star Danny dyer. Turns out my inoressedness was not warranted

I thought I'd missed something with Whitney being there looking after the kids. Was there no lead in to that?

I'll be really annoyed if they make Whitney a victim, yet again. How about getting her some counselling, a decent job, and her coming back stronger, instead of her life being a constant man-based shit show?

I quite like Mick as a character, more than I like Danny Dyer. And I think Danny plays him quite well, a lot of the time. But I HATE when he does that squinty eyed, glazed over thing for his more serious parts!

Who lived in that house before Gray and Chantelle?

I thought it was Kim, but she never had an open plan kitchen/living room.

And is that Kush and his mum's old flat that Mick and Linda are in now?

It was Kim, when they bought it Chantelle made a big thing of changing it all because it was so tacky ( and really annoyed Kim who heard it all!)

Agree!! I’d love to see Whitney actually become a DV counsellor or something to do with supporting women who’ve been victims of abuse. It would be a great way of her turning her experiences around and using them to her advantage and helping other women like her.

Can’t believe the coroner came back with accidental death! Surely Chantelle’s broken wrist and other bruises would have raised an alarm!

Has Grey morphed into Ron Mael from Sparks

And she's practically buried before they reached that incorrect conclusion?

What is Grey doing? Where is Whitney’s legal team?

Definitely something more to the Mick/Frankie story after that reaction to Max

I’m even more sure I’m right Mick was abused and this resulted in Frankie. The scene tonight where Mick said Max was a predator and that he likes to pounce on the vulnerable is another indicator about his sexual abuse.

Anyone agree or have any other theories?

The truth though. Max is a skank

It was the predator not that makes me think something more too it (but yes Max is a skank)
Either he was abused or Frankie’s mum was abused & he knows who did it?

Mick is 43. What age do people think Frankie is? I'd have said early-mid twenties. but I'm rubbish at that.

I'd have thought Lee was at least 25/26 by now, and wouldn't have thought she was older than that. But I'm rubbish at that.

The actress is 30 according to google - she doesn’t look it!

I'm also rubbish at cut and paste

Lee is 27/ nearly 28 so she could be older than Lee & Mick would have been 13

Tiffany's looking a bit.....orange?

They’ll be breaking new ground with this story, if I’m right. I don’t recall any soap doing a historic sexual abuse story when the victim was a male child.
