Cindy and Bobby made peace, didn't they? It won't be him. Some fans make up the silliest theories. I don't think Shirley or Mick would return in such a big week for the show when there's no stories for them to come back to. Whoever comes back on Tuesday is a big part of one of the current stories.

Bobby was mentioned twice on Christmas Day ( Ian was snide to Anna "Bobby should be here " obviously blaming Anna )

He was always looked down on by Cindy and she didn't want him with Anna .

Cindy was wearing a real fur coat , wrapping herself up in it and bragging about it , ( Red Rag to a Bull for Bobby ? )

And he does have form (Lucy) but he's probably the most unlikely murderer or potential murderer .
And if he is , he can get carted off to The Big House again instead of limply dripping about

I don't care who hit Cindy and i hope whoever did, gets away with it. Maybe Cindy finds out and then dies in the fire.
It could be Jane.

Also I did wonder if Carol would make a return for Sonia's exit

Might have been Jane .. although it's a long drive up from the Cotswolds on Xmas day just for what ? She didn't know about the birdgate cd .. or did she ? Maybe Anna told her and actually had heard it first ?
Unlikely though

Isn't Bobby staying with Jane? It would be the same drive from the cotwolds for him. Maybe Anna sent Bobby the recording and he discarded it but Jane decided to play it.
All are crazy options but plausible

It will be someone so "Well that was 30 minutes of my life I won't get back" underwhelming .
(Bit like ^who was "H" in Line of Duty )

Sam Mitchell -come to see her Big Bruvver though Phil will think she's here to gloat
Max - come to run away with Stacey "You;re my true love Stace "
Shurl- ""Remember me"?
Janine - "Yes I;m out of prison now , deal with it"
Robbie - "I couldn't let 'cha darn Sis (Sonia and Bianca) "I;ll kill Reiss for you"
Mick (but in a Dream)

Maybe Grant ( yes he's returned , quieten down now at the back ) will have a look at Reiss's car for him (Grant and Phil both mechanics back in the day) , go off to Dagenham to get a part and not tell Reiss that he's disconnected the brake cables , Reiss decides to take the car back for a quick getaway and ...oh dear . Shame .
Reiss doesn't get to leave .....

Janine being involved would be awesome , but she's more likely to be in cahoots with Cindy than against her!
Shirley returning would be fun, but if the Vic is up in flames she'd be another one homeless
Where will they all live ?

Charlie Brooks (Janine) is touring in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Janine was the ultimate bad girl.
No idea who will Rock up next week , but I'd love a surprise!

I'm not sure she is because of dancing on ice. I think the vivienne took her place, I'm not sure what's happening now

I agree I think there will be something kept under wraps or someone! I do think Reiss will die but I don't think he will be the only death. My money is on Bianca or Stacey!

A shock return could be Carol. Coming back to take Sonia and new baby away and save her from Reiss? It's got to be someone linked with either Stacey and Martin or the Brannings?

Was it the last time they did a live episode where Kathy returned? They did the live episode and cut to somewhere near Canary wharf and Phil meeting her. I remember that being a big surprise for that return! But can't quite remember when it was?

It really would be awful if it is Stacey who dies.
I don't want to watch next week now, I've no interest in who hit Cindy, who Dee chooses or watching Sonia give birth, and the thought of Stacey being killed off and leaving all those kids and a grandchild is just so depressing

Kathy came back for the 30th anniversary I think. 2005 sounds about right.
I do remember them meeting up at canary wharf ( Phil and Kathy)
I'd hate Stacey to die , that would be so sad

They won’t kill off a ‘lifer’ unless the actor wants to leave. Lacey Turner has a pretty big family to support.

The scene where Kathy returned was filmed live but most of that episode has been filmed weeks ago.

Wasn't the 30th episode 2015 not 2005?

They won't kill off Stace she's too well liked

Maybe Whit could be back for a short time to see Bianca after her ordeal ?

Or it could be a reference to one of Lola's videos there will surely be one she happened to record just in case Billy and Honey get married

I can't see Bobby being the one to hit Cindy at all but then I also don't care

I read somewhere that the woman Phil was with was linked to the family Cindy went into witness protection from and it could have been her but that seems too implausible even for EE.

Kathy must have returned in 2015 , not 2005 as I put!
Getting my fives mixed up

Rather than another boring wedding of H and B ( did I read that this is their fourth go at it somewhere ??) .. they should have had a Lola fundraiser ' 80s night ' at the pub and Kat could have come as Kat from that tv soap !

I agree, I question why they put a Billy and Honey wedding at the heart of this. I suppose they wanted the emphasis on long-timers, but they aren't very interesting.

shelling , I am guessing that the actual wedding may go fairly smoothly enough ( bucking the usual trend of heartache and killings / drownings / upset ) but the bbq reception may turn into a bit of a disaster for them.

She 100% is. They have announced it for our local theatre as my daughter is going, so kept an eye on it.

Might be that one of the Foster family clan turn up just as they are starting to serve up the fancy burgers and it all kicks off once Cindy discovers it was one of them who hit her?
They never get to eat anything at these type of functions / Christmas etc.

80s yes I agree they wanted a big occasion to get everyone together and landed on the B&H wedding celebrations.

Whoever Dee chooses , it won't last.
Ravi has a wandering eye and Jack and Jack isn't much better / boring etc.
She is definitely better off alone and should concentrate on her business.

Yes it's a pointless choice. She would never stay with Ravi, if she gets with Jack that will go pearshaped too although it might take longer. She has never had a partner that really worked, they should give him some time on her own now.
