EASTENDERS 75 - but more importantly 40yr anniversary. ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS !!!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

New thread for the week as old one is almost full

HELLO BRUV

A fab duff duff

Tho why do Grant and Jay think all is fine with Phil. It's obvious he isn't well bless him

Amazing acting By Steve M !!

Many say someone will die this week - I'm saying either Ruby or Reiss

Ruby as Martin needs to be with Stacey and Ruby means 40 !!!

Reiss as fed up with him. It's either jail or death 😂

Stacey and Martin need to get back together. They obviously love each other

Do we really care who hit Cindy over the head - I'm saying Peter

Bianca finally managed to escape. I wish we had a flashback how she managed to get the bag - use the tools in it - escape and get back to the square - all in time to hit reiss with a teapot

If people locked their back doors life would be better for all in the square 😂

Billy and Honey married - do we really care 😂

Linda is sober. Yah !!!

Tommy seems to be ok now living with Zack

Tomorrow is the hour special and a thur the live episode we get every 5yrs or so

How many cock ups will with we have - Must be hard to do live episodes

Been lovely watching the old duff on bbc 4 this week and all the old cast popping in for cameos

It's because it was live, they couldn't cut back and fourth to them entering and exiting the pub, couldn't see machines working or them moving large bits of rubble. So the medical people are all confined to the background pointing.

Yes! The paramedic froze. It was awkward. All in all they did brilliantly. Loved it x

I wonder who will inherit Martin's market stall?

Maybe the stall will just close up?
Ian doesn't want it and Ruby hasn't any knowledge of running stalls.

Maybe it's a way for Jean to make some money since she lost it all!

Maybe Jean might take it on.
Was Ruby martins next of kin? I don't think she is , but can't remember.

No idea! Then there's the lockup, maybe something to be found in there for another storyline? It's going to be so messy with all the grieving and accusations, no doubt. I think Ruby must leave the Square, can't see why she'd stay.

His kids?
Stacey's Bap van lost its pitch so she could run the fruit and veg stall instead until " the kids" are old enough to take over.

I think it's Bex.

I wish it was Ruby who died.
I don't think I can stand another moment of that awful horse face she pulls with wild eyes, flaring nostrils and those teeth.
Sorry not sorry

I still think of James Bye as "New Martin" but I think all 3 actors lasted pretty much 10 years In the role.

Stacey kept her bap van. It was Martin's stall that was under threat, but then it wasn't and Ruby bought it for him and had the new sign made.

She has knowledge of running businesses though, but I don't think it would go to her anyway. If it does wind up with the skaters I can see Freddie working on it.

My phone always says ' skaters ' instead of the Slaters ! 😆
I just imagine them all doing ' starlight express '

Jean used to call Stacey
' Stacey slater , ice skater '
Although she hasn't for years !

Would Bex, Hope and Roman be Martins next of kin?

Unfortunately, have to agree with this.

Agree. Think she must have had veneers. They’re too big for her mouth

I feel a bit bad but I can't stand it
All her scenes happy, sad, angry she pulls these awful faces

@thisoldcity I did think that. Martin lifted by his self

so a few could have lifted

not sure how long needs to be squashed to then die of injuries

Same

and I said as ruby means 40 I thought she would die in the 40th

if she died

matyin would have Roman and all kids have a father

Is there going to be any comeback for Cindy? She committed so many crimes - the gun, the threats, the attempted murder of Ian which then led to two deaths and countless injuries. Back to prison for her?

I haven't watched this in a long time. When Ian Beale married Tamzin Outhwaite. I saw Martin Fowler last night when I turned over for something else, I last remember him in Strictly and quite liked him in that!

Thought the acting was brilliant and let’s not forget that Lacey Turner had a baby a few weeks ago! She was brilliant last night.

Was Lacey's new baby the one in the ambulance with Sonia? Was this a "take your baby to work day" for her? Convenient casting and such a sweet little baby face ❤️
