Being a Lawyer in The Square is applying Parallel Universe Law .

Johnny Sausage spent 99% of his time a the bar of the Vic ( rather than at The Bar <see what I did there > ) but still manages to qualify

Gray spent 99% of his time prancing about the Square , picking up Mac&Mia at 3.30 (no clients obvs) or glaring at his laptop on the table

Ritchie has an Encyclopedic Knowledge of ALL Law , but especially Dodgy Law and Getting Your Clients Out of Prison, and is on a 24/7 retainer from Phil with a contract clause to appear within 20 minutes .

Then Nadine (Lola Look a Like) is studying Law and working as an escort (she seems to have gone to ground now )

People in The Square never go outside of The Square for a bunk up , so yes , Johnny Sausage will probably be working alongside Callum and the Spark will ignite .....

Gray's house had a ramp at the back when Vincent set it up to be accessible for Donna . If its still there then it could be a possible for Penny ? Maybe Denice will insist Jack buys the house as theirs is full to busting .

Which will leave the Taylors - which is a two level flat upstairs (Teds was below them )
Are we getting a New Family ?

Ah Donna! You never see her now!

Donna left the square after an incident of some kind. She sold her stall on I think ? Can't remember , but it was sad to see her go
I liked her and Vincent

Johnny 'sausage ' will probably have an affair with Callum or Felix , although Felix is a tough nut and Johnny was a bit of a wimp from what I can recall ! Nice enough , but Felix would eat him for brekky. They may change his character though

Having worked with lawyers I too find it hilarious how they seem to interplay the areas of law with the characters on EE.

You forgot Eve, ex con so shouldn’t be practicing law on her release yet she does it on the side for various EE people including Nish (and then seemingly knows all law too) yet doesn’t seem bothered that she’s not allowed to be doing this! Surely she’d be shit scared someone would report her and she’d be back inside.

Gray seemed to me to be the most passable lawyer type despite prancing round the square and collecting his kids!

I’ve just worked out who Johnny Sausage is and of course it’s new head Johnny! He’ll definitely shag either Callum/Ben/Felix.

Show quote history

Shock yes I forgot Eve !

And years ago , Marcus Christie was the Mitchell's Lawyer (again knew everything from conveyancing to divorce to child repatriation to getting villians off charges )

Marcus was brilliant and like Ritchie was available at any time to drop in with his briefcase and intelligent looking glasses to get people off most misdemeanors ( mostly Phil or grant )

Does Ritchie have any other clients?

the80sweregreat · 09/12/2023 18:22

I just think that Ritchie does have a swanky office in the west end somewhere, but her own east end roots send her back to help out the Mitchell's as she knows the family / knew Peggy etc.
She is also married and has a lovely wife who bakes her cakes ready for her after a heavy day bailing out criminals despite having a professional job herself ' up town' !
Ritchie has to disguise her slight east end accent at corporate parties too.
I like Ritchie , she's hard

Johnny sausage is bound to make a play for either Ben or Callum ( Callum is my bet as his nicer than Ben )

All gay men have the same taste and chase the same men. Obviously.

Phil is a really really shit gangster. He's so sloppy and weak.

Sharon is just the dumbest woman ever. Keanu is a good intellectual match for her.

I don't get the whole Whitney leaving thing unless Zac goes with her too. Unless he's dead and The Curse of Whitney has struck again.

When i saw the picture of the six, the way they are standing suggests to me there are seven wronged women, not six. Whitney has been through as much from men as any of the others - Tony, Leo, Gray. I think she might be the one bumping off the mystery man, but have no idea how it comes to that.

catskittens · 10/12/2023 00:04

bit mad karen digging up the tree it is going to die anyway as pardon the pun but the taylors wont be putting down roots straight away so no point in planting

also doubt the border force would let it through

Bought a my ' what's on tv' guide today for Christmas/ new year and not much information in there about who the corpse is
George's parents rock up and he isn't that pleased to see them apparently.
Lola made a special Christmas video for Lexi, so that'll be sad on Christmas Day.
Whitney makes a big decision, she is leaving so I guess it's about that next year
It's all very cryptic, so they are keeping a lot under wraps I think

Mitch's van might not even make it to Folkestone , he had a bump with Harvey last week , must;ve got Ken to repair it (on one of the rare occasions Ken made a guest appearance at Taylors Autos)

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 10/12/2023 12:58

There was a load of speculation ( ie claptrap) about the JukeBox and it was playing the same song as when Denice was talking to Kim about bumping off Lucas . back in 2020 Xmas Hmm
And the letters T E D A H (re-arrange to spell DEATH ) on the jukebox .

Straws and Clutching springs to mind .

I;m still hoping its Ian who is the Christmas Corpse , just because I don't like him. !

I saw the re Harv and Rocky.

I don’t know why or how Reece is still there, not many on these threads like him (we think he’s a bit suss) and drippy Sonia is even worse.

I was wondering if there’d be a Christmas miracle and Debbie’d wake up, that would put the cat amongst the pigeons. Looks like she’ll either die or survive.

Show quote history

I'm genuinely not being snarky but; your last sentence made me giggle, because, yes, those are the options 😅

Reece and Sonia have certainly moved quickly...

I never really bought jack and Dee together, nor do I like kat and Phil

I'm glad Mitch went with Karen but also glad Bernie stayed, I like her character and hope she gets some good luck.

the80sweregreat · 10/12/2023 14:28

If you think about it ( and I do too much tbh ! ) what is happening with Ken staying quiet about his involvement in 'kidnap gate ' is similar to what Ian did when he locked Denny in the pleasure boat cabin and it sunk and Sharon didn't find out for about a year or more ( maybe less., but it was a while) then she had her revenge and got the pub back and Ian left
Poor Sharon , she has shit luck with men
Happiest with Phil tbh for a while but that was never smooth and she had an affair !

It's on very late on Christmas Day , past the water shed and an hour of misery and death !

I've just gone down the Rabbit Hole that is Eastenders Trailers -and it is fun to look back at how young they were and how they;ve changed . Some of the characters I think who on earth are you ?

But they don't "reveal" in the Trailers , looking back now I know the outcomes of these teasers .
So the people guessing about the Watford 6 / Christmas Corpse , it'll be interesting to see who is right Xmas Grin

I also think Jack and Dee are an unlikely pairing but that may come undone soon when he has an affair with Stacey. I also don't think Phil and Kat are a natural couple. I think it should go back to Phil and Sharon plus Kat and Alfie, and I'm hoping we will see that in the New Year, well unless Phil is Cufflinks which I'm really hoping he's not.

Yes a glorious hour of arguing, secrets being revealed, misery and we know it ends in a death so classic EE, can't wait!

I can't wait for the Christmas Day episode. We've got guests staying so I may have to be very tired and go to bed for 9 o'clock just so I can watch it in peace.

I'm also looking forward to the hour-long episode in two weeks' time, though I don't finish work until 10pm so will catch up when I get home. I'm assuming it won't be on iPlayer in the morning (last year's Christmas Day episode wasn't on there early).

I don't know anyone who watches it , so I like our threads on here to chew the fat so to speak

I Hope Linda will be ok , she's had a shitty time of it and no Mick around to ease the burden :(
Her mum is more interested in getting one over Yolande for the Christmas choir than how her daughter is faring
