Just caught up.
I have decided that Lauren can be on the List for the next Bus-Going-Over-The-Edge-Of-An-Abyss

Her shrill shreiky harpie voice
Her stupid facial expressions
Her constant bloody interfering with something that is bugger all to do with her.

I'm glossing over the play she made for Zack ( 2 to Tango after all)

She'll turn into the next Lisa.
Who has already got her seat on The Bus

Bye Jade. She was a plot device so never really stood a chance. And hopefully that’s the last we see of Dean too.

It’s hard to decide who’s more annoying, WhitWhit or Lauren - maybe they could both get a seat on that bus? But at the moment it’s Whit. “No more secrets” - how’s that going to work exactly other than in your fantasy world?

The Mirror story is "what fans think", it isn't going anywhere other than in the Mirror's fevered imagination!

Too many clicks online for made up stories about upcoming storylines at the moment, although one or two are sometimes right ( such as Nadine's fake pregnancy which was mentioned on Facebook a while back )
Lauren wasn't this bad before, I quite liked her when she was with Josh from Wayland and had a job uptown. Since she's come back she's had some dodgy lines and now this with Zac. Which we all saw coming a mile off.
I just hope he had some protection on him ..

I was thinking Brit does look like Zac and wondered if it was his real life daughter . Something about the nose and mouth.

It's the usual thing on EE , they all shout at each other and rarely sort anything out properly and then just go off and have a ONS or an affair.
I know Zac doesn't want to land Whit Whit in jail , but running into Lauren's arms isn't the answer either
What about Britney in all this too ? She has a new school now ( unbelievable as that is ) will she have to go back to her mum ? Or into care ?

Nadines fake pregnancy, whats the point - Jay doesnt have any money.

Sure he's an easy mark, but thats about it

Fake pregnancies can only work if the person is able to keep on moving on as eventually people notice you're not any bigger or ' where is the baby ?'
I haven't any experience of this myself , but in books and dramas I've watched with this plot line , the woman is found out or they just move .
I'm sure some might say they lost the baby , but it must be a tough lie to keep going for any length of time without any suspicions at all.
Don't know what Nadine's plans are though , maybe fleece him and move away , but isn't she studying law somewhere ?
(Was speculation she is something to do with Emma on Facebook )

Just thinking about the possibility of Zac being Britney's dad. As insane as it sounds. When Whitwhit was trying to blame Zac for her lying about paying off Britney's mum (the nerve!) she was saying he couldn't love a kid that wasn't his own. In soap world this kind of thing is often a big neon flashing clue to a future plotline.

So we’re heading for a tedious love triangle story with Whitney / Zach / Lauren which makes me look forward to when Whitney leaves soon. Shona McGarty finished filming three weeks ago, so her last episode will be shown either at the end of next month or beginning of June.

Nadine actress was with Patsy Kensit on her insta recently so definitely a link there. I wonder though if Nadine is going to genuinely fall for Jay.

I think Britney is a good little actress actually
and hope she stays - even if it means a ridiculous Zac dad storyline is on the cards. I wish Sonia would butt out of everything though, it's like she has a WhitBritZac drama radar. Penny seems to be hugely involved in everything too - she's quite sarcastic though so I'm drawn to her.

Was speculation she is something to do with Emma on Facebook

That makes sense as the only way Emma is going to get to Lexi is to get Jay out of the way (in whatever way she can , legal or otherwise )

But Emma had a ONS with SuperSpermPhilth so she might rock up with her own Baby Belly ?

Considering Nadine lives in the nice flats by the Underground Station why has no-one laid eyes on her in the last few months ? She goes out to University and out to work/meet clients ?She'd have to go to shops or cafes etc. She certainly stands out in the crowd .

SuperSonia interfering in Whit-Whit and Lauren's doorstep slanging match . She is related to Lauren (cousin) and step-sister to Whit so I suppose she is involved .

Sonia said "We're Pregnant" <wince>
I bet she says Pregnant People too .

Did anyone else notice that Sonia's uniform was a normal length this week? It was poking out below her coat as she and Reiss were talking in the square.

We did used to hear Reiss talking about his job and his clients now and again , but lately he is just attached to Sonia's ear and another one who doesn't seem to work.
I didn't notice her nurse's uniform , but her facial mannerisms are very Dot lately.

I clocked the 'we're pregnant' too. 🙄

Also, for the love of god will someone get Lauren a change of clothes. That stripy jumper is giving Stacey's leggings a run for their money.

Isn’t Sonia Whit Whit’s step-aunt rather than step-sister? I do get confused with it all.

I hope Britney stays as well because I think she’s a good actress and she actually looks her age, not a 20 something masquerading as a tween! I think/hope Zac ends up keeping her and learning that he can love a kid that is not his own. Although in real life I doubt Social Services would permit it given all the crazinesss that brought her to the square in the first place.

Lauren and Penny are cousins. Not that you'd know they had any sort of relationship as cousins as Jack was always going over to Paris/France to see Penny.

I can't have seen Tanya dragging Max, Lauren and Abi over there a lot to foster a relationship with Penny!

Talking of Tanya, I thought she was brilliant, loved her, a bit like Linda in character, style and looks. But better than Linda (sorry L!).

Whoever said Shirley is coming back, I can't see this in a hurry. Last thing I looked up on her, she'd been brought to court for verballing abusing someone, but this was in 2015/16 so water under the bridge.

They may look a bit alike but no it's not his real life daughter.

The actor who plays Zac is originally from Greenwich and she's from Bishop's Stortford. She actually looks like she's from a quite 'good' family from her wiki profile. One of my friends lives in Bishop's Stortford, but I don't really know much about the area, apart from the fact it's Herts/Essex borders and near Stansted.

I don't think James Farrar is from the posh part of Greenwich, bless him. He looks a bit older than 36 but then again he is a dad now.

One of my friends did say she recalled seeing him in the Inc Bar (used to be open and was owned by Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen) and another Bar du Musee cafe bar/restaurant there too (now closed) but this was a good 12 years ago (that makes me feel old!). They were both places my friend used to drive to with her sister from East London through Blackwall Tunnel and I'd sometimes meet them there as I live in SE London too.

It’s so annoying the way they have a row then flounce off, get drunk and do something daft. Despite the seedy beginnings (a bunk up in an alley, nice!) I think Zack and Lauren could work well together, they have a bit of chemistry which she certainly doesn’t have with Peter. (And yay at last - a Louie sighting!)

Glad to hear Shona has finished filming so this won’t go on for much longer. I wonder if she will go and live with Bianca, assuming she escapes jail/the attention of Social Services. I am guessing it will be tied up in a way that Britney gets to stay with her/Bianca, given they have made her such a tragic case. She surely won't stay with Zack, she's WhitWhit's personal project.

I think Nadine is intending to fleece Jay of a large sum asap and then disappear. Anyway Detective Lexi is onto her. She’s probably a better detective than Callum.

Was just thinking of all the lying going on in EE, has there ever been a storyline and subplots with so many lies?
Lies about the events at Christmas, framing Dean for Keanu's death, although he's a thoroughly bad character, it seems just too convenient to blame him.
More lies with this ridiculous fake pregnancy, as mentioned, Jay has no money so what's the plot?

Even more lies with Whitney, for goodness sake surely she should put her own baby's welfare first?
Whatever next . . . . .

"She's probably a better detective than Callum" re Lexi

I remember Callum's first appearance in EE, as a hapless woolly hat, who worked shifts behind the bar and wooed Whitney. Then he was involved in some stolen jewellery, now he is not only a police officer but in plain clothes !!!

EE is always full of secrets and lies. There always at least one or two on the go.
Michelle managed to keep Vicky's real dad a secret for a few years until she finally told Sharon!
I'm amazed they wrapped up Keanu's death , discovering him and getting Dean put away for it as quickly has they have done though , but maybe six in on it was a plot too far and was getting daft.
Possibly it's Emma behind this fake pregnancy guff. I also saw Billy's dad is back in it soon, maybe his involved somewhere , but not sure how ( link to Emma maybe ?)

Going to go against the grain here and say I don't like the Britney actress at all. She has no expression in her voice or face and I just find her so hard to watch. I know she's only a child, but still. The actress isn't deaf in real life, is she?

re Whitney looking after Britney, surely all they had to say was that B was staying with W - why did they have to go through all the rigmarole about fostering etc?

Only thing I can think of is that Zac might not have been keen

I'm confused how Whit managed to get Britney signed up for high school in the end , but she can't for the GP?
Was that explained?
It's a bit muddled and I do tend to zone out of it all a bit

@the80s It seems the GP’s due diligence is more diligent than the school’s! Whit said the school let B start before seeing the paperwork, but Sonia said the GP would need the ID first (and as others have said, so would the school!)

As Britney’s mother is known to social services you would think they would be asking more questions about where B actually is at the moment. Then again, she’s missed 4 years of school and apparently no one was interested.
