[Southeastdweller]

Welcome to the EE spoilers thread, where we post and talk about any EE spoilers we've read about, including those in early release episodes on iPlayer.

Singing was one option, she thinks she’s the next best thing there.

In my mind, she’s not a great actress either. She’s ok but nothing special. Would like to be proved wrong there.

I couldn't believe they wrote Zack's response like this either! Its totally out of character.

Not only that, but Bianca saying constantly, "oh she'll be alright I'll keep an eye on her, she's not your problem, stop worrying and over reacting she'll be fine", after she'd taken Whitney in, in similar circumstances!

It makes no fucking sense.

Where are Whitney, Apricot and Britney going to live? Hows she going to afford a three bed property even in a shitty estate in Milton Keynes?

Is Zack going to just bin off his child? Like COME ON...

There is not Holby Shitty to go to.

Watch out for her star apperance for ten minutes as a murder victim in the Caribbean soon though.

It’s a farcical storyline and feels so rushed. None of it makes any sense and to see Whitney charging around as usual the next day after being knocked down by a car was completely unbelievable. It’s been a waste of airtime quite frankly.

Is Bianca staying in EE?

Just watched todays (kids woke up at some ungodly hour)

I completely agree with all of the above. This storyline feels super rushed and terribly done. No one cares about a girl who's had 5 mins of screen time and the way the characters are behaving is not what we have come to know.

It seems like a desperate attempt to give Whitney a happy ending (off into the sunset with new baby and fostering britney...with Zack?)

Also....where the fuck did Britney's brother disappear to? Does no one give a shit about him? Poof....he's gone!

Todays episode had Zack moping around the square with an equally out of character duff duff

Is Bianca staying in EE?

No, she was only in those two episodes set in Milton Keynes.

I'm struggling with how everyone is connected...

Max, jack, Dennis (?) and carol are siblings

Carol had Bianca, Sonia, her son who passed whose name I've forgotten.

Bianca cared for Whitney

Lauren is Max's daughter

Penny is jack's daughter

Stacey had lilly with Whitney's brother

So Sonia is aunt to Lauren and penny, honorary aunt to Whitney and whatever your aunts aunt is to lilly and what every your mum's aunt's aunt is to Charlie

Lauren is cousins with penny and kind of a second cousin to Whitney?

Bianca is Lauren and penny's cousin, more or less mum to Whitney and therefore whatever your aunts mum is to lilly, and whatever your mum's aunts mum is to Charlie

Max is Charlie's great uncle and he and Jack are Whitney's sort of great uncles?

Not even going to start on what everyone is to Whitney and zacs baby...

I think the actress would like to return on a more permanent basis as I don't think she's got loads of work otherwise...

@meow1989 mostly right I think! Sonia is not aunt but cousin though to Lauren etc, same as Bianca as they are (half?) sisters.

I dont like the way they are making Sonia so "desparate barren woman who cant be happy for others" like she's been wanting a baby for decades, shes only been trying a couple of months - shes had a failed round of IVF, but is going to have another go.

I'm not saying she cant be disappointed, but I feel it makes a mockery of it at the speed they are going.

Also there is a comment tonight about Whitney (its not a spoiler as wont give any details about who/when) which the person says she was "clipped by a car" - She wasnt clipped, she went over the sodding bonnet!!

Isnt she a DJ in LA?

Yes, but apparently she's short of work on the DJ front there, hence the reason why she jumped at a couple of appearances in EE.

I don't mind Bianca now actually, she'd be interesting on a permanent basis. Imagine if her and Karen scrapped?!

Agree re Sonia, poor thing, like she's destined to be 'barren' forever.

I'd have expected Whit to have had more of an injury and to actually have been kept in more following her 'car knock' - but no, she's up and about asap!

Carol had Robbie too.
Max has five kids - Lauren, Abbi (one of EE’s best ever actresses) and another young child who lives with his ex wife Tanya.
He is also the father of Linda’s youngest child Annie.
And was Bradley’s father.

Whitney isn’t really related to anyone. Bianca looked after her but she never called her mum etc. Presumably she is now going to do the same with Brittney so it goes full circle.

I have to keep editing as I remember extra kids!!!

which the person says she was "clipped by a car" - She wasnt clipped, she went over the sodding bonnet!!

😂

Whitney is related to Lily and Charli

Whitney is related to Lily and Charli

Thats right. I forgot about her brother.

Whitney is sort of related by adoption/fostering but whether this was made official I don't know, did she ever find her mum or dad?

I do recall Whitney's mum Debra being in the show once but not the storyline.

Abbi (one of EE’s best ever actresses)

eh?

I assumed she has upset the producers hence the shitty exit. There can be no other explanation for writing out a long standing character in such an awful way. Literally nothing about the storyline made sense, the set looked cheap and both episodes felt like they’d been thrown together by A Level drama students.

I imagine Ben’s departure will be equally crap as I read his behaviour off screen exasperated EE staff. Wonder if there will be at least be Julia’s theme and a black taxi for him.

When is Ben going?
I wonder what his exit will be? Will he 'take care' of Dean?

I don’t know if Patsy P was only available for a couple of days but they ran that storyline at a million miles an hour and none of it worked. Pregnant Whitney goes over the bonnet of a car and hours later is back home with not a mark on her. There was no development of the relationship with Britney so Whit giving up her entire life for this makes no sense.

I agree about Sonia, she had not mentioned wanting another child until a few months ago yet now she is anguished to the hilt about it. The writing for her last night was awful.

I’m surprised Ben is still there, I thought he would be off screen by now.

And while we are about it, what is the point of Penny?

And while we are about it, what is the point of Penny?

I agree. She isn’t funny or pleasant or anything at all really. She’s just there ticking a box for equality imo. Even the drugs storyline was silly. As if she would just be let off scot free after confessing to being a drugs mule for years.

She ain’t no Donna that’s for sure!!!
