Eastenders : SPOILERS

[the80sweregreat]

New thread for those of us who don't care about them !!
..

Dying doesn't mean anything in EE. She'll be back. I don't want Karen to go, or Whitney. I think it'll be a big exit maybe where they both go together of they are getting killed off. I hope they're not though.

Has Linda Henry proper left EE? I'm guessing she's not coming back. Her exit was pretty quiet for a long running character.

Reiss doesn't seem to let client confidentiality bother him does he? SuperSonia telling Stacey that his client has HMRC after them......

Poor Freddie

That's true @CrustyWingshield - I miss Shirley (although I'd forgotten about her until your post!)

Anyone thinking Ravi and Gina are going to get it on?
He's with Chelsea now but the chase is over .. Ravi likes to stake out his object of interest .

Gina is disinterested in Ravi-with-his-muscles but that will just pique his interest .
He might lure her in with his drug supplies and make her dependant on him?

Then George can kill him He could be CufflinkMan?

I like that @70isaLimitNotaTarget - hoping that will happen!

I was thinking about the flashforward episode and wondering which one of the women had killed cufflink man. Are we supposed to think all 6 women did it together a bit like on 'Murder on the Orient Express' when they all did it?

When they did the reveal of the Lucy murder , there were a few people in the frame , not the actual murderer but had all played a part .

And "An Inspector Calls" they all had a hand in.

CuffLink Man will have riled up each of the women , each one will have a motive to kill.
My money's on Ian.
But I'm sure Ravi can annoy everyone between now and Christmas

Whitney needs a happy ending. Or to be murdered by being pushed under a train so she can be reunited with Kush.

Karen should be buried down the allotment by Alfie who accidentally kills her and then panics and decides it's a good idea to stick her under Peaches tree.

A few mid morning musings….

Is the dead person really dead? Or they just think he is?

Does Heather wear men’s suits for smart events?

Does the dead actor know he’s dead? Eg I don’t think Stacey knew she was a killer until ten minutes before the live episode, did she?

Maybe the ' dead ' person at Christmas isn't dead at all, but disappears somewhere whilst they figure out how to cover it up !

Reiss at his laptop telling SuperSonia he has a long term savings policy so they can afford Private IVF
Sonia is standing in front of a vase of red&white roses

Red and white flowers Sonia . Blood'n'Bandages. You're a Nurse you should know they're fearsomely unlucky . You're going to Hell In a Handcart Sonia

It won't end well .

The dual storyline of Zac and Whitney fostering and Reiss and Sonia doing IVF will have a moral inform the public about alternative options vibe.

Sonic is going to get real sick and traumatised by the psychological and physical toll of IVF whilst Zac and Whitney will find the reality of living in one room in a shared flat isn't going to match with their ambitions. They will miraculously end up finding money down the back of the sofa so they can afford a place of their own. Then the fostering won't go well and Whitney will run off to the countryside near Bianca to fulfill her dream. She will split with Zac over it cos he hasn't been written out.

Speaking of Zac finding money… was it ever revealed that it was Janine conned him and Nancy out of £50,000?

No. Nor Linda's involvement in the whole sorry mess!

Eastenders do cover a lot of gritty subjects and don't shy away from hard hitting storylines though don't always get it right

I'm not sure if there has been a fostering storyline before - I know children get absorbed into families like Jay being with the Mitchells . The Auntie and Uncle who lived with Masood were foster parents but not a huge storyline .

They haven't done an IVF storyline either

Surrogacy has been done with the Raine/Stu/Bernie story

Polygamy hasn't been done before. (I don't think so anyway. )
Until Z and W move out to their own place I doubt the authorities would allow them to foster in a place with so many people ! Although I haven't any knowledge of the rules around it all.
They haven't considered this it seems
Or even asked Chelsea ( I assume ?)
Renting would need both their incomes too
Although you are paid to foster children.
No doubt they will pass the checks within a week and be able to care for a child straight away ! Lol

Pretty sure you need a spare bedroom and a house share wouldn't be appropriate as all adults would have to be fully vetted as a basic minimum.

Not quite sure how many clothes Whitney would have to shift or how many extra jobs Zac would need for a two bedroom flat in Walford.

Chelsea's place is full with Jordan and her , Z and W and Felix.
Not sure how many bedrooms it has, but it does have a basement.
They did say they wanted their own place apparently, I guess it'll be a priority now in order to foster a child?

all adults would have to be fully vetted as a basic minimum

Chelsea's husband in prison for murder , history of DV (but not against Chelsea) She was trafficking drugs when she first arrived with her NuHead
And her on/off bloke (Ravi) has a history of GBH (prison) manslaughter ( but not been caught for this) and now dealing .

I think Snowballs Chance in Hell would be the chances of a vunerable child being placed where Chelsea is your LandLady .
Even though that house has a bloody lovely utility room.
And there iss a downstairs flat as Vincent had the basement done up for his mother .

Chelsea's checks would make interesting reading for sure !

Not quite sure how many clothes Whitney would have to shift or how many extra jobs Zac would need for a two bedroom flat in Walford

I put E20 /2 beds into Rightmove search , the lowerst price but £2600 pcm
So a lot of those clothes would need to be sold and what I saw wafting about on Whitneys stall erm...I'd pass

E20 search gives you the new Stratford /O;ympic village area . None of them are like the Albert Square flats which are either maisonette or re furbished from a house . Or there's a block round the corner from the Vic , or the High Rise where Ian lived as a child , not sure if that's still there .

Wheen Eastenders started Walford E20 was supposed to be between Walthamstow and Ilford =Walford .
Not in the Stratford area at all ! Olympic Village was post 2012

But if Whitney is leaving (possibly with Lily's baby ? ) then she won't need to worry !.

Oh your good to have spotted that 😃 it's not going to end well. I am going with Reiss being a Black widower!

I read a thing online even Shona McCartney wants a happy ending for Whitney !

Isn't Ravi in the basement flat with Nugget? Where Suki used to live?

I'd love a happy ending for Whitney.
Although Zac character isn't leaving , so it won't be with him I suppose ?
How it ties into fostering with them I've no idea
