EASTENDERS 61 - DEATH AND DIRE NEWS AS ALWAYS - TV PACE. NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Hopefully Lola didn’t die on her wedding night

she needs to meet her mum first

hoping lily will change her mind again and not have this baby. She’s too young to ruin her life

she’s 12 and should be treated as a child not given choices that will effect the rest of her life

zac has hiv which we know means Whitney won’t have an easy pregnancy /birth

Give the girl a break

will there be a 3 way with mum and daughter Chelsea and Ravi

will Sonja get together with reiss who looks sexy when shaved /hair and no glasses - we are a fickle lot !!!

anything else I’ve missed

Don't forget that knowing smile. You can just tell what he's thinking when he's looking at Denise, "it's just a matter of time".😘

I agree that Denise is being pathetic - can hardly bear to watch her! Was Ravi implicated in a crime at Callum and Jack's cop shop? Must be building up to another blackmail story then (yawn) 'if you don't make Jack drop the charges against me I'll tell him you threw yourself at me Dee' etc etc? Not a spoiler obvs!

And (also not a spoiler) I'll eat my hat if my earlier prediction about Lola's mum trying to take Lexi away isn't right! Nice to see Ken back though, and Ryan was a bonus too!

Ryan was always hot.
( from what I remember anyway !)
He must have been in it a long time ago , but what his storylines were with Stacey I can't recall that well or why he was written out

Ken is lovely. I've a soft spot for him and his leather jacket, which looks better on him than when Phil wears his one

Nice to see Callum back at work 😂

I couldn't work out exactly what Ravi had been implicated in. They'd downloaded footage from a criminal's phone but I didn't hear wha it was about. I don't like Ravi. He pursued Stacey against her wishes and now he's doing the same to Dee (although she's not helping herself!). He's a sexual predator. Probably not that different from his "not real father" Ravinder who attacked Suki.

Denise is mesmerized by him and his man bun !

For me, I just can't get past the fact that a 12 year old child is going to have baby and her parents and others are talking about it as though it was OK and let's start thinking about Baby Gros and prams.

Totally agree! What exactly is EE trying to show here?

Where has his girlfriend/ stepmum gone? Have they entirely abandoned that storyline? He's going to literally get away with murder of his (not) dad?

I do agree that it feels wrong for the adults to be encouraging Lily , but really it's just about the plot lines and having her real dad back and the cost of living crisis and Denise finding her husband stressful because of it all , so finding other men desirable etc etc. Not really about two children ( one isn't even a teen yet ) about to become parents , one of the hardest jobs in the world! It is giving out mixed messages and that's me being kind to the writers here who should know better. Although I guess they couldn't make her have a termination either.
I've no idea how I would have handled it myself if I had a daughter or a son so young about to become a dad :( what would you do ? I'd be in despair I think.
Money would worry me too. Everything will have to paid for by her mum and Martin.

What was the order of things happening to Lola?

Her mum left aged three.

At some point as a teenager she goes into care and Billy finds her.

When did her dad die?

She was a young teen when Billy and Julie ( Lola's other Nan ) found her living in the care home. She must have lived with her dad quite a while ?

I'm not sure where the girlfriend/stepmother went but Kheerat too, the blame for the murder as he thought Suki did it. It does look like he'll get away with it, yes.

I did read online that the actor who played Kheerat didn't want to be in EE anymore , so they wrote him out and let him take the blame for killing the uncle character.

I miss him! (Kheerat)

Can I just say I love Whitney's hair short and curly like tonight!

Also, little Albie is so cute and actually does look a bit like Keanu in a way!

I learnt that on one of these threads and was gutted as I loved Kheerat but that still doesn't explain where Ravi's stepmum went and their evil plan to get Ravi's (non!) dad's money??!

Yep Ravi doesn't do it for me

Nish and meerkats for me @70isaLimitNotaTarget

Tho guess at a push could have all 3

Ryan is old. Sure he looked better in his younger days

Didn't we all 😂

Silly silly Denise

And no one has said about Ryan

Wanting to steal lily and baby away with Helen

I still can't believe how they are letting a 12yr decide what to do

So Stacey had £10 to feed her kids or pay the insurance premium

Yet is sitting in the pub drinking

I thought it was Dec as well!

Chelsea is so attractive, she looked stunning behind the bar with her hair in a high ponytail, mind you Denise gave her good genes she seems to get better with age.

I'm going to have a guess at stupid Denises storyline -

She'll feel guilty for snogging / Shagging Ravi, and do the whole 'that will never, ever, happen again!' ..while continuing to eye him up at every opportunity

She'll shag him again

Someone will see them (nasty Nugget?) and she'll receive a 'give me £5 or i'll tell Mr Roll neck' blackmail letter

After much mental anguish <yawn>, she'll put Raymond back in the cupboard and bugger off for a never ending 'long weekend' (hooray!)

.. and Jack will go back to Sam

Will i win 50p if im right?

I've gone back and done a screenshot of the bit I mean. That's not the Beale house as that has a big mural painted on the side and also isn't directly across from the shop. I thought (but might be wrong) that the cafe was more opposite. Agreed it's night and stalls are gone but this definitely looks like under the bridge to me.

Here are screenshots from the new set on Google earth... it's very odd! Like a continuity error or something.

In my previous picture you can see the brick wall extends past the shop window too. It looks just like the brick of under the bridge that we see on the odd occasion someone walks under it. I can't get my head around it 😆

I hope I'm not the only one that felt really sorry for Denise. Jack saying he only did the whole roses etc thing was because Amy told him. He's been undermining her and ignoring her and she has tried. I don't blame her for kissing Ravi when jacks knocked her confidence down and made her feel like something stuck at the bottom of his shoe. She should have got rid ages ago. Jack might get with Lola's mum.

Seeing the chemistry. I'd love for keanu and Chelsea to get together. Chelsea is amazing.

I can't either, it's bloody ridiculous 🙄

Why is Stacey so skint they have a million working adults in the house and she only had a tenner to feed her kids.

Why Is Billy going to work in Portugal ?

Jacks shouting is so irritating I had to mute the TV, I think Ravi is working for Nish.
