Was not impressed !

Who makes their escape from an abusive partner by calling a cab from a company run and driven by people he knows
Chelsea has been around. She is cleverer than that and seems well Able to look after herself

secular39 · 26/12/2021 23:32

Why couldn't Chelsea just tell Mitch?!

JacquelineCarlyle · 27/12/2021 00:29

@Pebbledashery

Bullshit episode. Stayed up for that.
I agree. Totally shit & pointless episode.
SinisterBumFacedCat · 27/12/2021 00:38

Yes, most exciting bit was the fairy light balloons in the club.

That's exactly what I thought. Rubbish episode.

Yes @the80sweregreat l also liked the balloons!!

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2021 08:41

My fear is now Gray will make her stay with him and tell other people she has mental health problems which Mitch might back up ? Dee is away on honeymoon so that's not an option for her
Whitney and Kheerat might still save her through?

SoupDragon · 27/12/2021 08:51

She'll be saved in the New Year's Eve episode - it's 50 minutes long.

I thought it was a good episode. It would have been "nothing" if she'd simply got away. As a filler between Christmas and New Year to nudge the story along to its conclusion it was good.

rocky1914 · 27/12/2021 09:01

I knew this year's EE would disappoint. Don't expect NYE episode to be any better either. Disappointed

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2021 09:15

Where did Dotty source those balloons ?
Between all that Christmas Day angst she found the coolest balloons ( or whatever they were ) on the planet !! Lol
Poor Chelsea though, although you would be pumped with adrenaline in that situation and not fall asleep!

Dee is on honeymoon? Where? But I thought I saw Jack pop up in last night's episode? In the pub maybe, discussing his mistake over Rocky?
the80sweregreat · 27/12/2021 09:47

Jack said to Sonia and Kathy ' I'll get the drinks in to delay packing for our honeymoon'
I assume they will be gone a while hence Chelsea won't be able to tell her anything.

SoupDragon · 27/12/2021 09:47

Jack mentioned "honeymoon packing" so they must be going in the next day or so.

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2021 09:47

Jack came into the Vic briefly last night

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2021 09:50

I loved how Kathy said ' your an ex policeman Jack , yet you didn't recognize Rocky ' !!
I swear the writers are mumsnetters because we said this months and months ago !
lol

SoupDragon · 27/12/2021 10:08

Is he an ex policeman again? I remember him muttering something about "might lose my job" but can't remember anything else.

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2021 10:15

I thought Jack lost his job ages ago ?
I don't think his a policeman anymore, but I'm not sure one hundred percent.

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2021 10:24

Jack said that he met Tommy Cotton thirty years ago. Maybe Rocky was around then too with the Cottons and he just got them mixed up a bit ?
He isn't always that smart ! 😂

You can get them on Amazon. Just type in LED light balloons- we were planning on getting these for DS's birthday party but the reviews on Amazon weren't good

Utter bollocks yesterday

Janine would never make such a crass play for Mick like she did . It's a busy pub, you cannot scratch your arse without someone being beside you . Nancy , Shurl, probably Tracey all in /around the bar (until Nance left) . Janine would be more stealth , slowly slowly catchee monkey .
Then if Mick did make a move (he wouldn't) she could shriek How dare you , I;m your Bar Manager not some bit of totty
Instead of smuttily inviting him to go for a ride and let me unknot you

Why did Meerkhat not stash away Chelsea's bag and give her a lift ?
Why get a KatKab?
Dee left for her wedding in a Taxi , get one of those You won;t know the driver .
Has Stu has his personality transplant reversed and he's gone back to being a horible arse ? Wouldn't Taine see/feel the lump he has - and the rash .
Has Sonia decided to throw in the towel on her careeer shouting to Stu about his cancer in the pub? I know she was angry/bit pissed but there is a confidentially issue the SuperSonia .

I bet Ruby bought those balloons , she looks the type to buy her Christmas decorations in August Xmas Grin

SoupDragon · 27/12/2021 12:19

Kheerat was keeping Gray occupied.

thisplaceisapigsty · 27/12/2021 12:29

I agree, Janine wouldn't be that stupid as to play her hand so soon. She's been so blatant anyway, but she's still subtle in her way and I've been enjoying seeing Mick fall for all her tricks, but now he will see it all out in the open like that it won't work on him. She would surely know that.

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2021 12:31

Yes, I thought that about Stuart's lump ( Rainie would notice or feel it?) and the data protection act being broken in a busy east London boozer at Christmas by a drunk super son ! Who is never at work these days
Why won't Stu tell her ? All the ones who have cancer do this ( Jean and Tanya did this too )
It's a soap thing , become ill and keep it to yourself !

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2021 12:36

Janine seems desperate these days , she normally plays the long game
Shirley will see her off soon , or L will come back unexpectedly for a day
( as you would in real life!)
The story lines are crazy atm and people hero being thrown out too ( Zac and Dotty !)
Another EE tradition!!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 27/12/2021 13:44

Kheerat was keeping Gray occupied

Ah yes but that was last minute because Gray came into the Cafe after not being able to find the shop open and saw Chelseas bag .
Kheerat didn't want Gret to pick it up ( bloody hell have you got a body in here ?) and maybe open it to have a nosey

He's have organised Chelsea's safe journey to the Airport , not rely on a taxi on Boxing Day , especially when KatzKab Drivers would've all been at the wedding/pub the night before Xmas Grin

Nothing from Nasty Aaron (that might be bewing ver the next few days after he's licked his wounds over Tiffany)

When do we find out about Suki's DH (is he still in prison?)
When will Philth get arrested and sent darn ?
Just after his house looks nice and had the operation to remove the hideous green kitchen paint ?.
