So we now have gray as a triple murderer 🙀🙀🙀

Surely soon he will be found out ......

I do feel for woman in Chantelle’s situation. EE handled ee death
And murder very wrongly 😢

So will Linda keep Max’s baby. Assume it is def his - why can’t they make happy storyline for this family

Bobbys dating - will they find out he killed his sister - and he looks so young so not sure how the lady he is dating thinks he owns his business

Will Ben and callum get married

Will Bailey be found safe / didn’t anyone think of looking in tubes /tunnels

What will happen with Issac not taking his tablets - do we care (sorry)

Can’t think of any more thriving storylines - sure I’ve missed something important

Bernie was a thief initially when she came into EE. She stole a mobile phone out of someone's car. She was a very bad thief though because she just kept the phone and never sold it on. I think at the time, they made her do it so Jane's plea for help message wouldn't be heard, rather than try to make Bernie a thief. It was the usual lazy EE writing - fitting squares into circles just to shoehorn the current story. Just as well for Jane really that she didn't come back, as Ian promptly forgot she existed about a day later!

Still Bernie has the potential to thieve.........from Kheerat I suppose? I doubt there is cash floating around that office with Suki's eagle eyes though. Maybe they will do one of those fan account type pages where people pay to see Bernie naked? She can't become a prostitute can she? Would there be a big demand for lesbian prostitutes? I really don't know.

I hope that Bernie sees sense and tells the family the truth ; but this being EE she won't and she will dig a hole for herself and borrow or steal the money ( which they will then all spend ) and she'll end up in jail. Hope I'm wrong.

JaneJeffer · 19/05/2021 19:04

Robbie's dad was in it years ago.

dogsdinnerlady · 19/05/2021 19:07

How much weight can you lose in a month? A stone at most I guess. How is Bernie going to do it? Gastric bypass? The actress has put on quite a bit of weight in recent month I think so it's interesting they have written than into the story (such as it is).

dogsdinnerlady · 19/05/2021 19:08

...months...'that' not than...
Clumsy fingers.

SoupDragon · 19/05/2021 19:10

They wrote Adam Woodyat's weight loss into the story with a T2 diabetes story for Ian.

pinkmagnolias · 19/05/2021 19:11

It could be filling under her lilac coat though?
what could she do to lose weight and earn money at the same time? I'd love to know.Sponsership maybe? But who/what organisation would sponsor her?A GoFund me campaign type thing?

gingercat02 · 19/05/2021 19:20

I think Bernie will either get an eating disorder or do online slimming pills.

the80sweregreat · 19/05/2021 19:31

It would be good to see Bernies ' journey ' with proper eating and exercise, but as they are not that well off she won't be able to afford Sharon's gym or lots of very healthy food etc.
She could take up jogging ?
It's not easy to lose weight but she is young and has the motivation there now so it would be a positive story. (Which means it probably won't go that way !!)
(They did it with Ian , but the actor was running marathons in real life and what not! )

pinkmagnolias · 19/05/2021 19:36

Bernie could offer to babysit Sharon's baby in return for gym membership? Then she will fall in love with the baby and realise she can't give up her own?

She won't lose weight quickly in the gym though. She has to eat healthily which they don't do. My guess is she will restrict her diet -which will be too difficult - and then splurge and develop bulimia?

Who thinks Sonia's dad is a conman after her cash ? Perhaps in league with Dot who's giving him the inside info. He'll be living in their house by next week !

SoupDragon · 21/05/2021 07:59

Yes, Sonia's father is clearly up to no good.

the80sweregreat · 21/05/2021 11:26

Yes, it's strange that Terry turns up just as Sonia is in charge of Dot's affairs.

2021hwg · 21/05/2021 11:44

He seems a good character so I hope he stays. No doubt he's a conman though

Katy is really nasty and manipulative isn't she?

UhtredRagnarson · 21/05/2021 20:47

Lily has a really good stubborn chin Grin

Who is Katie’s other child the barrister just mentioned?

UhtredRagnarson · 21/05/2021 20:48

Oh it was the boy who died.

UhtredRagnarson · 21/05/2021 20:58

That was weird.

Why the special music? And the strange cutting from scenes of the Carter’s to scenes of the Carter’s Grin

Pebbledashery · 21/05/2021 20:58

Why are they playing Julia's theme.. Nobody is leaving Albert Square in a black taxi with a wistful look on their faces.

unique1986 · 21/05/2021 21:01

Rushed episode but I cried a little. Julia's Theme 😥

the80sweregreat · 21/05/2021 21:09

Lily is a chip off the old block! Stacey's daughter alright.
I'm glad that Katy has 'gone down'. Good.
I'm sure that Nancy would have gone to hospital in real life? Just to be checked over?

UhtredRagnarson · 21/05/2021 21:14

Yes it was strange that they brought Nancy into the courtroom!

Yes I thought that too about Nancy. She was foaming at the mouth ffs. Then a second later she's right as rain again?!?

10 years for Katy. That's more than I thought she would get.

Dotty is seriously getting on my nerves now. Who the hell does she think she is, telling Sonia what to think and feel 🤬

Also, looks like Zack and Martin may end up being mates after all this 🤔

Mo's hair really needs a cut!

Also, I found the filming really disjointed tonight. What with zooming in on Mick's hand on Frankie. Then going from his face to his 2 daughters separately. It was very weird imho.

the80sweregreat · 21/05/2021 21:20

The whole thing was very odd , but it was good to see Katy getting a sentence.
Sorry indeed!! What a tool.
