Shazza is a granny to a cute bubba but still a silly storyline

Bernie still away preg

Liam and janine still scheming

Gray is going to be a daddy again tho is it his baby

Any other plots going on ?

Dee suspects that Philth will try to grab Raymond yet leaves the supervision of her child to Amy and Ricky , instead of , oh I don't know , actually watching him.
Phil who is known to be a loose cannon and has potential for violence .and I'm sure he ran off with baby Louise (I remember the irritating voiced Lisa schreeching Phil.Give.Me.Back.My.Babeeeee )

And Philth will get to the end of the street , he swiped a CarLot Motor , he should know they have minimal petrol in the tanks (fire risk) especially as there's been more than a few incidents at The Lot .

Explosion intervention was a bit "oh" .
I thought Harvey was going to say to Aaron's mate "Yeah, I called the Bizzies"

the80sweregreat · 31/12/2021 20:31

They just take children from under their noses don't they ? Even more unrealistic than the Janine / Linda meet up the other day.
It is getting so silly , I sometimes wonder why I bother with it tbh !

BrennieGirl · 31/12/2021 20:50

Linda looked pregnant. Is the actress still pregnant in real life?

the80sweregreat · 31/12/2021 20:53

Kellie Bright ( Linda) had a baby a few months ago. Saw a photo on the front of Hello mag ( or one of those) I think it was a girl ?
I don't think she is pregnant again ?

StEval · 31/12/2021 20:59

How many storylines can they cram into one episode ?Hmm
All tedious when we just want Gray to get his payback.

She had another baby boy I believe (3rd one) but probably had only just recently had him when those scenes were filmed 🤷

I don't understand what happens with Aaron and the mobile phone? He sent the text to set the bomb off didn't he?

No..his dad knocked it out of his hand at the last minute.
TueWed · 31/12/2021 21:39

@SpanishFly

Please could someone explain the bomb story? I hate that character and kind of stop paying attention when he's onscreen, so I've managed to miss where the bomb is and why. I'm assuming it's at the mosque and is all connected to his horrible hateful views.
No one gives a shiny shit about Aaron, what a waste of space
PinkDaydreams · 31/12/2021 21:40

Ahhh ok thank you! I thought Aaron pressed send then his dad hugged him, I missed the knocking out of hand (shovelling haribo into my mouth was more exciting at that point)

TueWed · 31/12/2021 21:47

oh christ, its embarassing, am watch tweedledee and tweedledum arguing in the kitchen

I thought he sent the text but the police blocked it to prevent the bomb detonating ? He told Neil there was a problem but he had kept his end of the deal.
PinkDaydreams · 31/12/2021 22:02

Either way, I thought it was a rubbish episode!😂

PinkDaydreams · 31/12/2021 22:03

Neil and Aaron is that?! I found that scene so awkward!!
Meredusoleil · 31/12/2021 22:12

Of course Aaron would tell Neil that. He needs to save his own skin and not drop his dad in it!

the80sweregreat · 31/12/2021 22:15

Hate Aaron and Neil and the whole storyline
I wish they had both been blown up and leave us all in peace.

I didnt think they were clever enough to have considered this.

Personally the issue for me, is that I dont really care about Aaron. I also dont really care about Harvey or Dana so even the link there is pretty boring.

Neil (is that the twat faced racist? I honestly didnt know his name) has not been around long enough to be interesting or relevant.

If they had introduced Aaron earlier in the year, and kept his distasteful attitude a little more subtle and with more of a build up it would have been better

Compare to other christmas / new years (not in any order)-
Den and Angie - divorce papers
Sharongate
Tiffany killed off
Ian & Mel wedding
Mel sleeps with Phil
B&B burns down
Janine stabs herself blaming Stacey
Dennis & Sharon reveal they are in love
Bianca gives birth to Liam (scrote in latest incarnation)
Trevor killed by little Mo
Jamie death (by Martin Fowler)
Max / Stacey reveal (that was brilliant)
Pauline dies under the tree
Archie killed
Abi & Lauren fall off the roof of the vic
Mick discovers Dean raped Linda (and they are brothers)
Ronnie and Roxie drown
Bobby finds out he killed Lucy
Sean paternity results (Amy)
and what do with have this year? Matt Lucas stomping around about muslims and aaron complaining about them coming over here and knicking our jobs

the80sweregreat · 31/12/2021 22:32

It's been disappointing.
Phil driving off at speed with a poor child whilst the police takes forever to get to his house to arrest him has been done a million times before.
The quicker they kill of Aaron, Neil , the dad etc the better. I'd even forgive Gray if he managed to see off those three , I'd let him off those three !!
( he only needs a train track and cctv to be off )

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 31/12/2021 22:33

Sharon waiting for Dennis in the Squae when she finds out against all the odds that she is pregnant , and he is stabbed by the 'random homeless bloke' (set up by Johnny Allen ) and dies in her arms .

Kat and Alfie zooming off into the night in his Ford Capri , half a tank of petrol and £84 and furry dice

Nana Moon dies when Alfies back is turned

I watched with subtitles and Im certain they said this Confused
Or Ive had too much herbal tea Grin

Optimist1 · 31/12/2021 22:35

Can't remember if it was Sharon or Kat who suggested that taking Raymond out of the country might proved difficult "because he's not your mini-me", but I would have thought a much bigger difficulty would be getting him out of the country without a passport!

the80sweregreat · 31/12/2021 22:38

Maybe the isolation rules / covid has played havoc with filming or they chickened out of a full explosion as it would have been too miserable ( even for EE ?) or maybe a few complaints about Aaron character and his neo nazi ways? Which is controversial :(
No idea, but agree that normally it's much better !
I did have flash banks to Linda's mammoth new year piss up in 2019 at Grays house ; she was out of control then , long before covid !

the80sweregreat · 31/12/2021 22:40

Would he need to get tested ( and Ray ) before going away ? He hasn't thought it through , but his beanie hat made me laugh !

It was Kat. She was honest though.

In my head, I was thinking, why is Phil is at standing around there when Denise is literally a corner away, if you want to run then run! Not standing around and talking to Sharon

the80sweregreat · 31/12/2021 22:49

I love how Stacey has abandoned all her kids since she has been with Eve !
She doesn't even mention them at all, out out all the time too.
Now she'll probably get the market job too :)
