EASTENDERS 53 !! No spoilers. Maybe for once that will happen …….

[Blondeshavemorefun]

So what’s going on

Phil has kidnapped his son

Grey and Chelsea have a huge 24w PREM who should be hospital for 3mths but we will see

Will he be found out soon

Will tina return as been mentioned by Shirley

Will linda return and be sober. Can’t they allow happiness once

Sonja super nurse

Uncle fester needs to tell wife - name blank

Bernies baby must be due soon. What will happen there

Aaron who cares what happens to him

Hopefully tiff will come back and reunite with hubby. Why they just didn’t talk or text rather then a letter

We all know letters get lost

Rocky will he stay or go

JANINE - what conniving can she do

Erm

What else have I missed

How has Tommy skipped a lesson in primary school?

And where was kat and staceys kids at 630pm

Can't feel sorry for Aaron to be fair, probably shouldn't be a massive racist if he doesn't want to be in prison and face the consequences...

Exactly what I was thinking! What did he think would happen when he was planning on blowing up a load of innocent people?!?

I can't believe that Tommy would run off with 500 pounds to give to his friends :(
I think Harvey will dump Jean.
Suki being nice .. that was strange !

I don’t think Tommy took it. But I can’t work out who did. Maybe Kat just made a mistake

He seemed to honest

If he took the money he would have given to bullys

Not sure who did

But don’t think it was Tommy

I thought they wanted us to think Jean had taken it for her holiday? We keep getting these hints that Jean is unwell/not taking her meds and Stacey is worried etc.

Btw Stacey magically had a car last week to get Keerat away from the square, never been mentioned before and now she has a car and a food van, wonder where she parks them? And Kat now runs a mini-cab firm but we never see her black cab or hear about her becoming a cabbie anymore do we?

I was dreading the police arriving at the vic tonight- not looking forward to seeing Shirley go through this

Yes I thought that weird too, about Stacey's car. We've never seen her drive anything AFAIK!

Also, Kat doesn't drive a black cab. She has other people drive mini cabs for her.

But what happened to their cleaning business? Jean is not working now. Just helping Stacey with the van. Like Eve.

I feel like the storytelling is dragging. I had to forward through most of last nights.

Did Ben take the cash then?

They mention the cleaning very occasionally but it would only be Jean doing it now.

No idea what happened to Kat's black cab and her cabbie dreams. They just sort of shelved it.

Jean or Ben taking the money both make sense. I thought Ben might have done it to make Kat look incompetent.

Bit grim that Tina's head is missing (or "not where it should be")

If Tina's head is somewhere else that might explain the missing shower curtain. It would presumably take longer to identify the body, although Tina has a police record IIRC so her prints will be on file if they are still useable

Might be Ben stealing the money. It's either Tommy , Jean or Ben. Ben is jealous of her.
Plus why doesn't she do it by bank transfer ?
.. that way of doing wages went out with the arks !

Head is missing . I missed that

It was a throwaway comment from Jean about "his head not being where it ought to be" or something. They don't even know it's a woman let alone Tina.

Bit odd really.

Kat said the computer system was down so she was having to pay the cabbies in cash.

I wondered how Tommy was able to skip a lesson in primary school as well. They can't just walk out.

Not sure Dotty moving in with Suki is going to end well.

I've been think about how they will connect the three murders together to be Gray (Kush and Chantelle were obviously considered accidents by most) once Tina is found.

I suspect that Gray's front door camera might come into it. We have talked about a lack off CCTV on here which is unlikely, but I forgot that Gray has his own! Perhaps the writers have written that in to tie it all up together. I'm not sure how it would implicate him in Chantelle s murder though as he went out on purpose to creat an alibi, but might show him to be out of the house when Kush died.

I'm getting far too invested in this...just want to see the story wrapped up now.

I think Gray will be linked to Tina because he claimed to have seen her and also drew money out of her account. This might then lead them to believe he killed Chantelle or at least investigate Whitney's claims more thoroughly. Not sure about Kush although I guess they might re-visit that too if Gray is linked to Tina.

I thought grays doorbell camera was new? Either way I think anything recorded would be long gone by now, I think you get 30 days stored recordings with ring if you pay a subscription? Not sure how long councils etc have to keep cctv recordings - off to Google that!

Btw I did a bit of looking at what happens to property when you go to prison and the answer was nothing really - if you (or someone on your behalf) carries on paying the mortgage that's fine, but if you can't afford it you'd have to sell or it would be repossessed

So in summary Chelsea (and Grays kids) would be better off if Gray died, certainly financially (not to mention the fact that he's an abusive evil serial-killer)

Stacey seems to spend more time elsewhere rather than working and spending her profits in the cafe. Which is bizarre when she sells food and drinks.
I know it's hard having young children or babies in scenes, but the fact that Kat and Stacey have many children in her care and you don't see them around is weird and just so unrealistic. It really winds me up as having children is so time consuming and takes up a lot of headspace and logistics and money. Yet they mostly go in the cupboard and forgotten about! 😂
Did the Nancy actress really hurt her leg? It looked quite real.
Zack will win the cooking contest I suppose.

I think Nancy must genuinely have hurt her ankle and they've had to shoehorn it into the storyline. Like when Martin slashed a tendon in his hand stoning an avocado and was in a huge cast.

Google tells me it is a real injury but doesn't say how she did it.
