EASTENDERS 68 - FIRE IN KATH'S CAFF !!!!! Tv pace. NO SPOILERS. JUST FOR ONCE EH

[Blondeshavemorefun]

First off

Omfg. What an explosion that was. Surely Bobbie and Peter can't die

Ian can't lose 3/4 of his 4 kids

Hope Rocky feels very guilty with his constipated grimace giving mick a run for his money

Talking of much he's been dead dead for almost a year - is it fine for him to come back soon ?

Kaths caff will be redesigned and made much bigger just as all the sets do

Philif still has his money tree 😂

Spare £50k to kidnappers but where has karen hidden the money now

After Theo's perving no more has been seen of him for months

Lily never seems to have her baby. Either with granny or great granny

Sonja has had her trigger shot (blondes knows lots about ivf as took 5 to get mini blondes)

So means an august baby for Sonja if works and Debbie will wake up then

No sign of Allfie for a while. Not a bad thing

Phil and kat got married

Cindy kids don't really like her

Ian has beals eels Pmsl

As usual most kids in kiddicupard apart form Charli

looking as if might be Ravi nish or Ken as Christmas corpse - can’t wait to use that title in December 😂😂😂

Sonia was full on Miss Havisham. An odd look for her wanted sexy times pre the jab. And I'll take the ivf steer from all you here who have gone through it, not EE...

The whole Reiss/Sonia business is utterly ridiculous, they hardly really know each other and yet they are having ivf and planning a baby?? And her strewing the stairs with rose petals while dressed in the most appalling nightdress was laughable as well as revolting 🤮
Bernie (rightly) screaming at Keanu that he's dead to her.... HOW did Phil (standing yards away) not hear that? HOW does Sharon think Karen snatched Albie and came up with the plan single handedly...
I'm wondering if there might be more than one Christmas corpse... there are so many candidates 💀💀💀

Everyone on the square is conveniently deaf when required. Bernie banged on the front door and was in Sharon’s front room shrieking at Keanu “I know you planned the kidnapping” yet Sharon (just upstairs quietly putting Albie to bed) didn’t hear.

How the actress playing Sonia kept a straight face when she walked down the stairs in that white flowing monstrosity, flinging Rose petals around, I’ll never know.

I v rarely watch EE now but o used to be an avid viewer! Watched half of last night’s waiting for Masterchef and was extremely wtaf!
Thoughts:
Why is Sharon with someone half her age?
Why has the family nicked money from Phil - why is the daughter staying?
Wtf is Sonia wearing - I thought it was fancy dress! Is this Reece guy a complete dweeb or dodgy AF?
answers On a postcard pls…

To be fair to Sam, she may have looked up Karen's social media page ( or Bernie's or even Felix's , who would definitely have one in his line of work ?) and worked her way down their list of friends ( not everyone has it locked up securely and have long lists of people they know etc)
(It's amazing how many may link back to yourself on Facebook.. )
Uncle Malcolm then shared the pic of Albie with the sparkler ' having fun ' and voila it's there dated and timed.

Hmmm is Debbie really unwell or did Reiss get cold feet?
That nightie 😱add a candle and a cap and she would be Ebenezer Scrooge 😂
So Philth isn't calling the Old Bill, just like he didn't when Alfie nicked the 30K?
Probably can't as it's dodgy money anyway?
So 30K Alfie
50K Karen
100K Sam

Beans on toast for him then?

Spoilers
I watch TV pace or after and its very clear that this is a no spoiler thread, just join the other one if you watch in advance.

It's easy a three day trip to Spain and that van of his is unreliable at the best of times as when he first rocked up as plumber it was on the blink then.
You need up to date passports and can't stay longer than 90 days i believe? Not sure
The Spanish are very vigilant about people coming and going too
Anyway, I hope it works out for them
Karen in Benidorm I can see it working!

One reason that Phil will be a bit reluctant to persue the money via Ken is he knows that he had a ons with Emma and will tell Kat
Plus he still loves Sharon ( deep down ) and wants her to be happy with him I think
Which I know sounds a bit wet, but those two have history. Denny is often mentioned whenever they try to call him off hitting people with his big old bat.
Anyway, once he discovers his albies dad , he'll probably flush his head down the loo then or whatever whilst Ken threatens to tell Kat stuff etc etc
They always have bargaining Powers on EE

Kat will find out phil smelt with Emma and leave him

Shazza will leave Ken

Kat and alfie will get back together

Shaz and Phil will and raise albie

Sorted and all happy

Ken knows about Phil n Emma.
Zack knows Albie isn't Ken's
Harvey knows Rocky started the cafe fire and Nish has a big idea what happened and wants it on the cheap.
Bernie knows Ken started the kidnap plot
Dean let George off an assault charge by making Linda confess to not being raped :(
You need a good memory to follow EE

Felix's brother Finley had to leave , but I can't remember why?
It was something to do with Ravi I think ?
He disappeared on the quick

If I was Sharon I’d be beating a path to Uncle Malcolm’s to find out exactly what Karen did to arrange all of this and if he was involved. She surely can’t believe Karen dreamt the whole thing up alone.

I still have a sneaky suspicion she already knows about Keanu’s role in this and is planning an Xmas day revenge.

Yeah Phil would never involve the old bill to get his cash back. It goes against his East End gangster code…plus it’s all dodgy/laundered money. The irony of him marking notes he probably stole from someone else in the first place!

Why marry Ken though ?
It doesn't make sense really , he is a skint mechanic and not even Albie's dad
She would have to pay him off for a divorce or for an annulment ( which costs 595 or some strange amount!)
It is all very odd if she has any suspicions at all

Had to be one last act of lunacy from Karen: digging up the tree. Ridiculous

Sharon's not daft.
I really hope she's stringing Ken along, he will be all smug hes got away with it and that he will be getting his hands on Sharon's £ then bam!
Can't wait for Christmas EE !

Sonia looked like Linda Blair in the Exorcist 😅

Well she married Ian whilst plotting to kill
him but I suppose he had assets she could get her hands on.

If she knows, I don’t think she’s planning to actually go through with the wedding. Maybe get him to the alter and then serve up the dramatic reveal “You’re not even Albie’s dad” <evil cackle>

Felix and Finley - thank you! Couldn't remember their names! Wasn't it something to do with the car their dad left them? Ravi cut the brakes to try and hurt Eve (who was borrowing the car to go to Brighton?) but I can't remember why? Presumably something to do with Suki/Nish? Or, hang on, no, was it Vinnie who tried to kill Eve when he found out about her and Suki? I think that was it! And somehow Finley found out and Ravi threatened he'd kill Felix if he told anyone - so he left? I think that was it! Menopause Memory is a truly wonderful thing

All I remember is Suki giving Finlay a load of money before he left. He was somehow blackmailing her but I can’t remember why.

And then Finlay made up a story and told everyone he’d found an investor for his jerk sauce in Ireland so he was moving there. Another random exit.

Ken hasn't any assets
Sharon owns the arches and his an employee
He doesn't have a house or a business and not even albies dad !
I don't think she knows about the kidnap , but anything is possible I guess

It was because Vinny cut the brakes on the car, he snuck in the Arches, cut the brakes but dropped his necklace so Suki and Finlay knew it was him.
He did it to try and kill Eve because he found out about Eve and Suki.
They were going to a Pride event
Which is all a bit odd now that Vinny is all supportive of Suki and Eve?
Bit of a 360 there!

I've forgotten already. Did Felix pile into the the van along with everyone else? Or is he still on the square?
I'm a bit confused about Bernie's decision to stay behind and live her 'life' on the square. I could see that going on the run might not appeal, but don't think there's a great deal for her in Walford now.

Felix was nowhere to be seen when the van left. Mitch didn’t say goodbye which is a bit harsh considering he’s his uncle😭 Maybe he’ll move in with Bernie, I can’t rem where he lives now (with Chelsea?). I hope Karen left some of the £50k for Bernie to pay the bills and rent.

Maybe Bernie will move in with Felix / Chelsea ?
No, Mitch didn't really say bye to anyone much
He didn't have many storylines really , but I liked him

I liked Karen and Mitch's exit. It was just mad enough to suit the Taylor/Baker life.
I think Sharon will tell Keanu he isn't Albie's just before the I Do. Sharon bought the Arches for Keanu, so I wonder if he legally owns it?
I still hope Nish is cufflinks, but I also think he is too good a character to lose. Dean would be my other choice.
