So the first ever has happened - a flash forward of someone dead wearing cufflinks

we don’t see a hand. I believe that’s coz it is nish or Ravi so be obvious who is dead

we have MONTHS of pondering

meanwhile

will lily have her baby - hope not as she’s 12

whitney - give her some happiness and luck and make baby be the lower end of disability

muck is still awol and Janine trying to sell her share to someone

linda has someone in mind who she will happily work with so rules out ian and max

Denise will she sleep with ravi

Ravi what is he doing that the police are watching

who will shazza marry

will she be silly enough to go back to keanu

kathy - will she find out fiance is still married

She didn't want a "happy outcome" she just wanted a shag.

Bunionbabe · 07/03/2023 09:05

I thought she wanted a relationship with Zac, she was mooning over him for ages. Once she got pregnant she expected him to step up as dad. A lot more than a quick shag.

SoupDragon · 07/03/2023 09:14

She had decided he was a player and just wanted a ONS on the party night.

SoupDragon · 07/03/2023 09:15

I think most people would expect the father to "step up" in one way or another.

Bunionbabe · 07/03/2023 10:15

They would, but Whit was taking a big risk having unprotected sex with a known player. I just think she should take better care of her own emotional wellbeing.

Why did everyone have the same card. How weird would that be sitting in your living room.

Probably to make it easier for us viewers to understand so we weren't distracted by trying to make out all the different cards when we could be bawling about the baby thing. Whereas in reality we'd gone off to put the kettle on. And then sit on a bench with the resulting drink ☕

One problem I have with this soap is they don't have any families that are just Mum, dad and the kids ! Even two dads or two mums and children would be preferable to these current families which have a mash up of different people and different dads etc.
If you think about it, the more usual ' nuclear family ' just doesn't exist. Mick and Linda were solid for years , then that went pear shaped. Annie is a Branning now , it adds to the chaos.
Suki has older children, so I don't count her ( plus Nish is awful and had a child , Ravi , he kept a secret)
Whitney needs stability , but she never has had or they end up dead ( Kush ) or grooming her :(
They haven't many role models around lately really and I know that sounds judgy and it's not real !!

SoupDragon · 07/03/2023 11:42

I think the cards were all the same as they were meant to be in the box rather than on display. They were meant to be a collection of kind words rather than specifically sympathy cards

SoupDragon · 07/03/2023 11:47

One problem I have with this soap is they don't have any families that are just Mum, dad and the kids !

I suppose more and more families in real life are "non standard" insofar as they're not just mum/dad/their kids any more. It's perhaps odd that there aren't any on the square but I guess "standard" is boring. They have gone to extremes with the number of different parents involved in a family though with a lot of cross overs!

I'm
Going against the grain. Just seen last nights /mon and apart from dad of 4 in the chapel of peace and mapping her life out

Esp the 2 other kids so is Zack saying he wants to be with Whitney

But the rest was good a.

It is crap a mum has to give birth get baby isn't allowed a birth certificate

There should be some other kind of. 'Paperwork' given to under 24w

I thought it was odd that Harvey didn't drop them off outside Whit's house initially but then realised it was done to demonstrate that 'life carries on' when she looked at the market and everything was normal. It really resonated with me as I remember taking my kids to school after my dad had died in the night and standing in the playground feeling totally bewildered that everything was still the same, I didn't even feel I could tell anyone, just carried on as normal, it was very surreal, and I thought they portrayed that very well.

I would also like Whitney to stay with Zak and get a happily ever after!

Jellykat · 07/03/2023 18:46

I can see why a lot thought the Whit/ Zack/ Peach storyline dragged on too long yesterday.. but also surely it deserved some real gravitas given the subject,
surely it was right to illustrate the next stage of grieving?

Mrsjayy · 07/03/2023 18:51

I don't think it dragged on I just thought it was melodramatic (yes I know it's a soap) and unrealistic, I don't know what I was expecting but I think it was too much 🤔

Jellykat · 07/03/2023 18:55

Fair enough Mrsjayy, i felt it was thought provoking.
Each to their own etc

Mrsjayy · 07/03/2023 19:37

Actually I think it was Zack who was over the top Whitney looked like she just wanted to go home and grieve for her baby.

Jellykat · 07/03/2023 19:43

Changing the subject, wouldnt Nish have a tracker on Sukis mobile, given that hes a jealous suspicious bastard?

the80sweregreat · 07/03/2023 19:56

Jelly , nish would have a tracker on her mobile for sure !!
Obviously the writers haven't thought of this.

Mrsjayy · 07/03/2023 20:01

He's been in jail 20 years would he be up to date with the tracking thing ,?

I actually thought he would have a tracker planted on her actual person somewhere, that's how jealous and possessive he is! Perhaps it's in her handbag or attached to something she always has with her?

He's bound to find out about Eve at the rate they're sneaking around. I actually thought that's what he as talking about tonight rather than Ash going to Canada 🧐

the80sweregreat · 07/03/2023 20:05

Nish is so creepy ;(
If he didn't want that red wine, he could have put it my way instead ! What a waste
Suki is playing with fire , I Hope Eve doesn't get hurt

Jellykat · 07/03/2023 20:11

Well Ravi knew all about spyware etc when he got out of nick, admittedly he wasnt inside for as long as Nish, but surely Nish would have a google?

So we all know exactly whats coming for the next few weeks story wise, oh well!

Ceryneianhind · 07/03/2023 20:22

Wow, Sharon looks incredible!!

the80sweregreat · 07/03/2023 20:28

Sharon does look good lately !
I'm
Glad that Zac was mentioned too , the dads do get forgotten when things like this happen. He is grieving too.
I think Whitney will be ok though
If I were Eve , I'd be so wary of playing these kind of games .. Nish is a nasty one :(

True ,probably did courses. SUKI really is playing with fire !

Mrsjayy · 07/03/2023 20:56
