Whats eve’s dark side? I came back to ee after a ten year break.
when I came back eve was good friends with Stacey but I think they’d met in prison and been married? But then became just good friends?
had eve comitted fraud and was a solicitor or something?
I have never taken to her as a character at all

Ross Kemp has confirmed Grant is returning to the square.

Wow fab news!
That's why Nigel said Grant instead of Phil, he's been with Grant recently and is used to saying his name...

Yes, I'm looking forward to having Grant back in the square.

Eve was in prison for aggravated assault - I don't think we've ever found out the details. She was Stacey's cellmate and looked out for her, and Stacey married her as a favour so she had a 'stable home' to be paroled to. Eve and Stacey were never more than friends.

Eve's twin sister was killed by a drunk driver when she was 17. A few years ago the woman tracked Eve down, went on a date with her then revealed who she was and that she'd been drunk and Eve lost it and attacked her. Stacey, Suki and Theo pulled her off and the woman agreed not to press charges. (I'm guessing that's what the PP meant by dark side.)

Happy new year all 🎉

Now I'm thinking someone very unexpected will die tonight. I'm predicting Nish will poison Eve's drink, but Suki will drink it instead.

Nish is dying but still makes the effort to use Just For Men when living in a squat which conveniently has an armchair, bed a table lamp 🤔

I thought he would maybe take it himself at the reception ( that he has sneaked into ) to shock everyone & spoil the celebration of it all .

I think Suki has a darker side than Eve. She had barely arrived before she was pretending she had cancer, and all the other manipulations of her kids including making Jags go to jail on Vinny's behalf which ended in his death. She has become a much warmer character but I think Ayesha would steer well clear if she knew Suki's past! Not as bad as Ravi of course, but that isn't saying much 😆

Nish phoning for a taxi on the very early hours of NYD to take him to the Wedding . Saying ominously that he "didn't need a return booking"

So either he plans to be Dead or In Prison.

And if this was Real Life , the cab operator would tell Nish "You won;t get a cab on NYD mate , the trains are all off and strikes planned . We've been booked up for weeks . Try that KatKabz down by the Walford Underground, in the Laundrette "

Kat and most her her drivers (certainly Harvey) will be at the wedding or not fit to drive .

Suki also had a ONS (twice) with Tall Brown Jacket Personal Trainer Peter Beale....when he was going out with her daughter Ash .

Shudders. I was trying to forget that!😆

Thinking Nigel calling Phil 'Grant' was foreshadowing. Presumably, there is some yet-to-be-revealed reason why Nigel has come back. I'd take it that he's been spending time with Grant beyond Albert Square?

If calling someone by their brothers name (Grant for Phil) is a sign of early onset dementia as a PP said then I’m well and truly fucked 😂😳
Mine also often get called by the dogs name and vice versa!

@70isaLimitNotaTarget Nish said he wanted to die the way he wanted, with 'some love around' (or something like that). Which sounds like he wants to die in front of Suki, as for some bizarre reason he still believes she cares about him.

I hope Nish dies tonight
Sooner the better really

I'm bored to tears with the Nish breathing his last storyline.
Talk about dragging it out!

Looking forward to Grant's return.

Grant ! I cannot wait

I'm assuming the bottle contained acid for an acid attack .. or has that already been done in Corrie?

I don't watch Corrie , but I can't remember an acid attack on EE before :(
Maybe this is why it's on at 10 tonight ?

An acid attack was done on Corrie about a year ago. Also on Emmerdale 5 or 6 years ago. And Kat had serious facial burns from a fire ten years ago (they healed remarkably well!)

It is the sort of thing Nish would do, but whatever else happens I'd be surprised if he isn't dead by tomorrow. It all seems to be leading up to that.

The theories online are that there are other clues to Nigel’s Dementia apart from getting Phil confused with Grant. Apparently the fact he asked Phil where the plates are when he came back with the Indian takeaway when he should have known as he’d been there a few days (not sure about that one..), he called the local bar the Market Cellar when it’s now called something else (don’t remember that bit) and when he first returned he told Yolande he had come back ‘for the memories’.

I think Nish is going to poison the ladies drinks and prepare to watch them die whilst Suki and Eve are enjoying their first dance to something ironic like Murder on the Dancefloor. But then one of the grandkids will pick up the drink instead…duff duff duff

A poisoned chalice would be easier for Nish physically as to throw acid he'd need to be in close proximity to Eve or Suki .

The acid attacks ( Emmerdale ) on Ross and (Corrie) on Ryan were really graphic and vile . I know there were many acid attacks in the news in recent years , when you think how many people walk about with a bottle - metal would hold acid . Nobody gives a second glance .

If Nish's poison was accidently drunk by Nugget , it would literally crucify Nish as now it seems Nugget is the only person who will give him time of day .

If Nish saw his grandson die in front of him he might do the dramatic drinking of the poison himself .....as Nish really wants to make it All About Him doesn't he ?

(It would be a shame if it was Nugget , poor lad has been through Hell recently but I cannot think of anyone else that would provoke a reaction in Nish . He must know they all hate him. Especially Suki )

When Nish was outside Peggy's last night though he had a knife, presumably he planned on stabbing Eve? So the poison must be for him? I reckon he'll stumble into the wedding, drink the poison in front of everyone and possibly tell everyone he didn't really kill Ken
I hope he does die from the poison I'm sick of him now

IF Nish tells everyone he wasn't Ken's murderer won't it all start up again with Linda and the six etc?
I hope not .. ! lol
( although so many people know about it now maybe nobody will twig or care !)
