Isn't it strange there was never anything in the media about why Linda Henry (Shirl) left?

Yes, I’ve wondered why she left the series.

Yes, I’m not even sure if it was ever confirmed that she’d left for good or was just taking a break?
Didnt she leave shortly after Mick died?

the80sweregreat · 08/02/2025 20:40

Shirley left a few weeks after Mick went missing. She trashed the Vic and walked off with the dog ' lady Di ' into the sunset.

So while Sonia was in jail, Natalie was being a Bush on The Masked Singer. She's got quite a nice voice.

the80sweregreat · 09/02/2025 11:00

I hope they don't make Honey wear a green dress like Jane Beale did for the 30th anniversary to emulate the green on the opening credits !

Sladequeen · 09/02/2025 22:28

I think Phil just wanted some human interaction and to take him out of himself (and into someone else)
then it was to show that horny Phil couldn’t get it up, to emphasise how he is not himself atm.
Denise hoovering in her high heeled boots seemed ridiculous to me, do other women go about their chores in high heels?
i have problems walking in them so very rarely wear them so no idea if this is normal wear at home for people?

Yeah it was weird she just disappeared with nothing. And she was a classic character. I do hope she's okay

the80sweregreat · 10/02/2025 06:57

Dh read that Amelia is one of the mysterious ' Foster clan ' who are out to get Cindy
Only speculation though

Shellingbynight · 10/02/2025 09:05

I agree @Sladequeen it was to show Phil completely humiliated (and in the presence of Sharon to make it worse).

the80sweregreat · 10/02/2025 09:22

One spoiler pic I saw online was Cindy with a gun. So she does break into Phil's safe I assume.

Could that have been a fan made pic? I can't see anything official online.

Might have been south! Didn't think of that

Shellingbynight · 10/02/2025 10:19

No it's real, it's amongst all the pics I posted a link to on the previous page. Scroll down it's in the last set of four, she's back in the fur coat.

Finally ! Gosh Sonia, took long enough
Priya and Ian .. !
.. that wallop Cindy gave Ian was funny and a few good one liners today too! Made me lol
Amongst the really dark stuff

Southeastdweller · 10/02/2025 10:33

Thanks, @Shellingbynight I did look at that link last week but I didn't know there were other sets of pics because it wouldn't let me scroll down but now I've logged in I can scroll and have seen them.

I think this is heading for a showdown with Cindy and Peter (or maybe Cindy jr).

The scene where Phil was showing out his visitor ( Amelia? ) and Sharon heard her say "Don;t worry it happens a lot to men your age" was SO not Phil.

No way would Phil engage a Sex Worker and surely "Don;t worry , you;ve just been discharged from hospital after falling a height onto concrete and spending the night on a cold floor" would be correct .
Maybe this is one of Phil's manifestations of his illness ? Being so out of character .

The actor who plays Chelsea was in Waterloo Road and got into a fight with another pupil .

I had an ex who had a diagnosis of "psychotic depression" and he would end up using sex workers when he was spiralling. He ended up owing a lot of money to pimps actually. Completely out of character when be was well (although unfortunately he wasn't often well).
He was also a recovering alcoholic. It was really bloody awful and I ended up moving halfway across the world to get away from him. He's dead now.

( Bloody hell, it's never occurred to me before that I lived with a real life Phil Mitchell. No guns or £££££ in a safe though).

Shellingbynight · 10/02/2025 10:44

@Southeastdweller ah that makes sense. I'm always logged in to X so I didn't realise it wouldn't show the full set if you weren't.

I am sure Cindy will decide it's Peter eventually! I still think it's Kojo though.

I'd like Cindy Jnr to return but they don't seem very interested in that so far.

@VivienneDelacroix that is really interesting, how sad. Thank you for sharing that. They seem to be doing Phil's storyline really well.

TurquoiseDreamCatcher · 10/02/2025 11:06

90% pecs, 10% ponytail 🤣

the80sweregreat · 10/02/2025 11:11

I loved the line about the Pom poms.

TurquoiseDreamCatcher · 10/02/2025 11:17

I don't want Priya and Ian to become an item but I would love it if they have an unlikely friendship. Eastenders used to do really good friendships.
I'm still sad that they finished Sharon and Ian's friendship.

the80sweregreat · 10/02/2025 11:20

Sharon and Ian are sort of ok now , but not like it was before she tried to poison him of course.
Priya is just using Ian to get to Ravi
Considering how Ravi is mean muscle bound drug dealing ponytail wearing murderer , they all love goading him! I'd be a tad wary myself

the80sweregreat · 10/02/2025 11:45

Does Priya work ? Maybe Ian will let her work in one of his emporiums especially now he has fired Cindy from the pie shop.
There's a few places she could be installed as an employee!
Cindy does have some dips on the money , it was her initial investment and money that set it up ( I think ) certainly her idea.
Ian probably won't worry too much about that though

the80sweregreat · 10/02/2025 09:22

She wouldn’t need to break into the safe, she watched him key in the code and made a note of it on her phone.

Shellingbynight · 10/02/2025 13:22

What is she planning to do with the gun though? I don't think Cindy has ever handled a gun, she got someonelse to shoot Ian!
It's like carrying a knife for self defence, it'll probably get turned on you.
