I have been sooooooooo wanting to do this title

I can't R.E.M. who said the Christmas corpse a few titles ago - but this no 69 (blondes giggles) is dedicated to you

So who will be killed Christmas Day

And by who

Hedge your bets

Linda
Denise
Suki
Stacey
Kathy

Shazza

Phil
Keanu
Nish
Ravi
Jack
Sean

Or someone else .......

Denise is ( generally ) the voice of reason
She told them they wouldn't be believed and ' go down' and they believed it. It's flimsy , but the whole narrative is women are not believed and nobody would think Linda did it out of self defense ( even if it was to save Sharon's bacon )
It is sad that people would think this, but it's clearly true about rape and Linda has experienced this aspect herself with people doubting her because of Dean and Suki being married to a narcissist etc
That's my take on it , but really they should have let Kathy call it in and saved all the bother of hiding a body and making it all much worse
Because really they have done and no going back now

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/12/2023 19:07

If skid hasn't done cpr on nish he would be dead dead

Or if shazza was better at taking a pulse ......

None of this would have happened

Would police really not believe it as so over the top

I agree @the80sweregreat - the underlying premise is that women aren't believed. Denise also mentioned joint enterprise which meant that they could also all go down even if only one of them is guilty.

That was a sudden thaw

Jellykat · 27/12/2023 19:58

Rocky needs to stop thinking! all his gazing into the distance with a confused look, hes gonna blow it for sure.. needs to keep his gob shut, pot kettle!

Cath mentioning the Eve / Suki affair is not great either.
..and what about CCTV with them all running around outside on Christmas day?

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/12/2023 20:10

Does the square have cctv - apart from mini market lol

I get the feeling the copper doesn't believe them

Surprised they didn't ask who alibied dad was in the Vic

I have a feeling Rocky will go into the cafe and find Ken

Do you need a license to serve beer out of the pub ?

Fin helping his cousin Bernie was nice

I really thought Kathy was going to go running after Rocky shouting "You can't!" When he said he was going to go to the caff.

This is a spoiler so we've removed it.

Yes, that is a spoiler 😞

theconfidenceofwho · 27/12/2023 20:38

I think that's classed as a spoiler @NorthernGnashers as it's not been shown on T.V.

Southeastdweller · 27/12/2023 16:38

I don’t feel this is needed, personally. Isn’t it obvious these days when everyone knows EE is dropped early, most of the time?

It is the agreed rule to wait for the scheduled time, no matter how daft it feels to others. It's not like anyone is illegally downloading it, it's being provided by the bbc

Edit, that said, it's the rule of the thread, and that's what we follow

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/12/2023 20:56

Bangs head

I'm Glad I didn't see whatever was written this time

Just saw a comment online which read:
"The matriarchs carried K's body out of the front door of the pub, much to the astonishment of viewers, who were convinced someone would have seen them from elsewhere on Albert Square ".

Having watched the Christmas Day episode, one of the Six said (as they tottered with the weight of the body) " This is not going to work, just sayin'"

Well . . . . .duh !!!

NorthernGnashers · 27/12/2023 21:19

Apologies to all, honestly did not realise my post was a spoiler, it referred to an actor in EE.
When it all comes out in the wash . . . . .
Are all the Six prepared to lie under oath?

excelledyourself · 27/12/2023 21:22

Haven't posted on an Eastenders thread in a long time, or watched it, but have watched the Christmas episode and those since, so hope it's okay to join in.

I found it a bit weird how it jumped from them in the cafe at the end of one episode to the police arriving on the square and the pub being sealed off in the next.

Did I miss where that was explained? Who called the police?

Eastie77Returns · 27/12/2023 21:23

So confused with the Eve situation. When the police were questioning Suki they asked if she knew was Eve was so assumed they were still looking for her (even though Jack called and told them days ago he saw her in the Square).

But the. on the night of the murder Stacey told Suki that Jack was hiding Eve in his house.

Today she in the shop saying everything is fine, she’s a free woman etc. So the police are no longer looking into her fake murder?

Totally perplexed!

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2023 21:39

The police obviously didn't care that Eve committed perjury ( I think this is the correct term) by planting evidence and pretending to be dead ? I didn't give it much thought , but eastie is correct , it doesn't make any sense at all
Suki also seems reluctant to leave with her
On Christmas Day it was a call about Nugget
Today it was something else. I know she's had all the Ken / Nish stuff, but they just can't seem to leave as a couple.
I doubt they will end up together somehow as it just isn't going that well and Nish is bound to be cured in hospital as they have a good track record there !

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2023 21:46

I am assuming that one of the six contacted the police Christmas night and then they were there at the police station until Boxing Day being questioned and the police roped off the pub
I think we all have to fill in the blanks ourselves and clearly every part was filmed at different times too as it's all cut about
Probably to stop it being leaked who the murderer was and who the victim was etc

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/12/2023 22:04

How come nish who got hit by a wine bottle via a feeble woman is on deaths door

Where as Ravi who got walloped hard by a rolling pin so heavy and hard is ok

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 27/12/2023 22:04

I'm
Guessing they called the police to say about nish once body wa stashed so they they could say their story

OP posts:
Hastheslotharrivedyet · 27/12/2023 22:13

All the running/shuffling about in those high heels?! Why wrap the body and leave it on their doorstep? Surely renovations will start soon on the remains of the cafe. Won’t DNA be on the tarpaulin and the tape? Did they put the fingerprints from the hand Keanu would’ve held the bottle in? Keanu had no beef with Nish did he? It was all very messy and disjointed tonight. I don’t think the police would believe any of their statements for a minute

Eastie77Returns · 27/12/2023 22:15

Good point about Ravi. He was smashed over the head and knocked out cold but seems fine now. Maybe Nurse Sonia treated him. Also when he and Nish were kicking six bells out of each other all of the others (Avani, the kids, Vinny) just stayed sitting in the front room!

Hastheslotharrivedyet · 27/12/2023 22:20

@Eastie77Returns Ha ha ha yeh

the80sweregreat · 27/12/2023 22:24

Obviously eating Christmas dinner was much more exciting than seeing all the action in the kitchen ! Ravi looked fine

Esp when revi said he was going to be a better dad and not have kids scared of him
