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

Why did Sharon have to say anything to Keanu about the Vic? Talk about indiscrete. Surely she knows better than to talk potential business in front of others.

Vinny is getting right on my nerves at the moment. He's acting like Nish's little lap dog! And Suki really is a bitch. Eve should keep well alone from her from now on imho.

Just catching up after being away on hols.

Thought it was quite sad in the scenes of Lily with Ryan, with her clutching onto her teddy bear.
Really uncomfortable with the preteen pregnancy storyline.
I’ve lost track, how many weeks is Lily now?

The square minis are so cute - Raymond, Ollie and Albie!

Did anyone else notice the strangely (but very prominently!) placed packs of condoms on the shelves in the mini mart. They were in between cotton buds and hand wash, with toothpaste and mouthwash behind them 😂
I mean, I’ve had no cause to buy any for many, many decades but is that the usual placement for them on supermarket shelves?
And the brand name Fruity, worthy of The Apprentice geniuses 😆

Looking forward to L and Sharon running the pub together! That is if Nasty Nish doesn’t put a spanner in the works.

I’m also finding Ravi quite stalkery.

Loved how Lily stood up for Stacey!

Am really looking forward to next week. The trailer is intriguing.

Whoever's writing Lilys lines has got it perfect but I cringe at Ricky, Amy and denzels interactions. There lines are awful.

Thought Ravi was in love with Denise or just fancied her. Didn't know he wanted to be her bit on the side/friend with benefits.

Stacey's storyline struggling with money reminds me of Bianca going through the same thing. But Bianca's was next level.

I've never seen Denise be so soft. Loved it when Kim asked her was it Phil? 😂 like she'd go for round 2...that would be hilarious...

Given the extraordinary number of unplanned pregnancies in the Square I should think placing condoms in a prominent place would be a good idea. Might remind one of the super fertile studs to pick up a pack.

Did the Panesar's put up the rent at the Slaters at Christmas time ?
What with all the children and some not earning much ( like Freddie ) and the stall needing new things because of the robbery, they are up against it lately
Jean never seems to be around to help out either , she is meant to be one of Kats cleaners
Eve must be earning the most out of all of them

Yes, they put the rent up after the boiler fiasco. Mostly in revenge for Harvey publicly blaming Nish.

Who actually lives in Stacey’s house now? I’m trying to keep up.

Stacey, Lily, the younger two kids.
Eve.
Is it Freddie? The child of Jade Goody?

Kat and her kids and Jean have moved out. That must have freed up a few rooms in the tardis, surely? Maybe they need to downsize to a smaller rental? .

Where is Alfie staying now?
Is Martin still living with Sharon & Zack?

Slater house is as follows. Stacey and 3 kids Eve, freddie (who is jade goody's son) Harvey and Jean in her single bed,and maybe Alfie 🤔

Forgot about Harvey ! His been quiet lately

In the discussion about the Panesars buying into the gym business:

Made my blood run cold, when Eve visibly flinched on hearing Nish's reply alongside his loaded stare at Suki.

Sharon: "Just how I like it: a SILENT partner!"

Nish: "Much easier to keep them in line..."

He is deeply sinister. And Eve has his measure.

Nasty Nish is a woman hating narc who needs putting in his place I think! Awful man

Harvey and Jean in her single bed,and maybe Alfie

Not all in the same bed .................... I;m sending you the invoice for the industrial vat of Brain Bleach I need Mrsjayy . My beautiful brain has just imploded

Oh definitely.no weird throuples 😄

Did Martin go to Turkey or somewhere on a building job? Harvey went with Jean to the Wendy’s? No idea where Alfie is

Who are the Wendy's?

Can't remember who the 'Wendy's ' are ( friends of jeans I think ) Alfie is with her

No idea, but maybe they're mates with The Julies, from HMP Larkhall.

I’ve heard them mentioned before with an explanation but can’t remember.

I have a feeling ( but I'm usually wrong ) that the Wendy's live in a caravan, so they go there for holidays ( to be written out for a while )
I'm sure I saw Harvey this week around , so he hasn't gone with Jean , only Alfie has ?
Although why he didn't go too I don't know ?
Unless I'm dreaming all this

According to EE fandom , the Wendy's are two friends of Jeans who were in it in 08 and they pop up occasionally ( they were at Jeans wedding to Ollie Walters , the allotment man)
I had forgotten that Jean married him and they lived in Brighton for a while , but it didn't work out and she came back.

I don’t always watch it so there are huge chunks I know nothing about, and this allotment man is one of them!

Shame about Ollie. He was good for Jean

Are the Wendy's the ones who did baby swapping years ago with someone's mum

HA 😃

Jean met Ollie Walters at the allotment.
They married and moved away to Brighton
She came back a year later ( might have been longer ? ) and turned out he was controlling.
He seemed ok , but Jean has been in and out of this soap for many years
