Here hoping that Martin and Sonia rekindle their love and move away to Milton Keynes.
Misery loves company so they would be perfect together!

Saw this article and thought of you guys! 2 years for cultivating 700 cannabis plants - I don't think Jean had quite that many!

EASTENDERS 51 !!! - no spoilers at all !!!

Well I fell down a rabbit hole last night on the fandom Wikipedia page 🤣 Has the family trees of all past and present families. So so confusing. Many are related to other families. I think Whitney has slept with most of them. Kat not far behind her. It's so confusing! 🤣

the80sweregreat · 23/09/2021 18:31

Eastenders family trees are fascinating
It started out with just the Fowlers and the Beales. Then grew from there.
The worst bit is the kids all have different dads from other families and the Cottons are also complex too

@BettyCarver

Completely unbelievable that Sonia wouldn't check out Rocky's real identity - but at least the writers gave us an unexpected twist which is rare. The agent Rocky brought along to meet Whitney, I guess she's in on the stolen identity thing too. Disappointing send off for Linda, even if only for a few months.
Yes wouldn't she check with Carole
MrsRobbieHart · 23/09/2021 19:47

Yes first thing I would do if a man arrived to tell me he was my dad would be to call my mum and get her to ID him.

MrsRobbieHart · 23/09/2021 19:59

Oh what nonsense!

Akire · 23/09/2021 20:02

Well that was another depressing load of crap, why spend half episode showing how much they care about each other then that.

Sarcobaleno · 23/09/2021 20:13

Dr Lego's house was Golders Green from memory.

The plot holes annoying me are 1) Sonia says to her Mum, Dad turned up, here's a photo. Carol says that's not him. 2) if she's living with the lovely Charlie Cotton he'd be POA.

Trying to ignore these annoyances but Eastenders is hard to love at the moment

MrsRobbieHart · 23/09/2021 20:18

Dotty called him Uncle Tom so I’m guessing he must be a brother of her mothers?

Thecurliestwurly · 23/09/2021 20:26

The credits say Tommy Cotton though. I was wondering how he knew Harry Rednapp if he was a fraudster though. He had a cameo!

SoupDragon · 23/09/2021 20:29

And he told the police he was Tommy Cotton.

MrsRobbieHart · 23/09/2021 20:31

So he’s nicks brother?? Son of Charlie cotton that dot didn’t know about?

NoisyBrain · 23/09/2021 20:56

@Livinthedream84

Hang on … in the vic when Rocky first turned up Jack branning was so pleased to see terry cant, Sonias dad. He remembered him

So unless him and terry were twins why did Jack think it was him too??

Yes, I said the same thing. So odd. As a pp rightly pointed out, Jack is clearly the worst detective in the world! Grin
the80sweregreat · 23/09/2021 21:00

How Jack became a policeman is anyone's guess ! He is hopeless.

MrsRobbieHart · 23/09/2021 21:13

Ah they’ve totally fucked that up then, havent they? Grin they forgot what they’d previously broadcast!

Sandra Redknapp is actually Rose Cotton and masterminded the whole thing
Akire · 23/09/2021 21:16

Jack is 48 Sonia is 35 so seems unlikely as a 12y old he would remember him enough to see him 35y later. Always thought Sonia dad left before she was born or soon after.

MrsRobbieHart · 23/09/2021 21:16

Terry later told Denise and Tiffany that he's been looking for Sonia after she sent him a letter because he is her dad.

I’ve also just found this on a entertainment article from when he first arrived.

So Sonia sent terry a letter, but somehow totally unconnected Uncle Tom cotton got it? Confused

BettyCarver · 23/09/2021 21:27

Yes there was a story line about Sonia searching for her dad wasn't there

iknowimcoming · 23/09/2021 21:34

@MrsRobbieHart

He's Nick's half-brother, same dad different mum, see upthread ^

mrswhiplington · 24/09/2021 10:57

Why did Martin only give one breakfast bowl between 2 kids? Surely he could afford to buy another one or even borrow one. Not long after he was sat in Ruby's drinking, And that ending with Dana being beaten up and Bobby just standing there. No doubt he will say his religion forbids him from hitting anyone.

SoupDragon · 24/09/2021 11:06

I think Bobby is afraid of his violent nature coming back. He seems to have gone from someone who whacked Jane with a hockey stick to being completely afraid of anything vaguely aggressive.

MrsRobbieHart · 24/09/2021 11:18

I can’t warm to the Bobby character at all. His scenes, and now his new girlfriends scenes bore me.

SoupDragon · 24/09/2021 11:23

No, he had become exceptionally flat and dull. Very weak.
