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

Martin deserves the whole shebang !
And Julia's theme at the end .
Does Jay still run the funeral parlour ? He'll make sure it's done right

I'm sure even Ruby will understand Stacey's grief. She did watch him die .. it is a traumatic time for them all :(

Wasn't Lofty his brother in law?
That actor likes returning for funerals, if we want to set our sights on the minimal...

I don't think Michelle married Lofty in the end , but I'd be pleased to see him ( and Mary )

Yes

he will have squashed reiss tho no one will want to go to his funeral

unless B does and pisses on his coffin 😂

then to do martin’s

Sonja may attend both as she has kids with both - complex !!

edited for spelling

I think she did marry him after jilting at at the alter

bur reliesed she made a mistake

and aborted his baby so wasn’t tied to him

whixh lofty found out and wasn’t impressed

Weird sone stories I remember well

I think Grant did find out Mark Jr was his - possibly because Mark Jr and Courtney were getting close and so they had to tell them?

I have a vague recollection that Mark Jnr realised who his father was and Grant realised who his son was, but they did not let on to each other and neither realised the other knew. I may be misremembering this entirely.

That sound familiar Peach

Oh really

so he knows that he knows that we know but they don’t know each one knows 😂😂😂

Exactly! I’d like to see Mark Jnr back. I think an adult Fowler is needed.

Def need sone fowler blood in the square

and male totty

Sonia has some flowery mugs, I’ve put a screenshot here of the green and yellow ones. Does anyone know where they are from?

(Click on the second picture, there’s two mugs in the image)

Dot had flowery mugs, I can't find photos to refresh my memory but if they are the same props they've been used since the early 2000's at least.

Sonja leaves a message saying your dad is dead

wtf

say call me

dont say he’s dead on answer machine

Awwww I’m sobbing 🥲🥲

It wasn't a message, Bex answered because there was someone else in the room with her.

So pleased they've remebered Bex.

FGS I've just blubbed my way through that entire episode!

Is Ruby blaming Stacey for Martin's death because she thinks he stayed to help her, rather then leg it,? How would she know the details, when she's not spoken to Stacey..

What powerful episode. That acting was amazing, how can anyone watching be left dry eyed.

The Sonia and Stacey scene was really well done, same with the Sharon and Grant one, and Ian showing a caring side to Stacey was a nice touch.

Acting was excellent tonight. I cried.

interesting to see the way they did the Denise phone call so could have used it whether she picked Ravi or Jack in the live. Apart from saying Jack (whilst camera not on her so probably recorded one saying ravi too) at very beginning, rest of call could have been with either of them

oh. That’s ok then

Blaming her as he went in to save her

Oh yes Blondes you're right, I'd forgotten that!

For the first half I as wondering if Grant had negotiated a pay per word salary as he was virtually silent.
