Does anybody know why the actress who played Shirley actually left? She was really good in the role.

storminabuttercup · 11/03/2025 21:04

I've not seen tonight's but I really don't like Nicola

Agree with the pound shop Chrissie thing.

Its a shame she's had no dealings with Kat or Bianca they'd both wipe the floor with her

Sharon could probably afford better tough guys but wouldn't know how to get hold of any with Phil out of the scene, in fact yesterday I was wishing Phil was there to walk in as Zac was getting his kicking I know they aren't close but he'd snarl at them to stop cos he loves Sharon

Yes im missing Phil despite all he's done

Don't you think that Kat is a shadow of her former self? Yes, she is known for telling it like it is, but she looks really frightened of New Tommy.

Shellingbynight · 11/03/2025 21:44

I don’t know much about AI but I suspect the writers on EE don't either, so although it may not be entirely realistic the idea works. I think the problem is no longer really Tommy, it is that none of the others trust him, and how do they overcome that. I would have liked to see a bit more of his rehabbing though - why has he changed?

I liked the Sharon slap, good work. I don’t care about her and Teddy so I am glad that is over (assuming it is).

The problem with Nicola is that she is just a one dimensional villain. Whereas a character like Ravi is multi layered, someone who does both good and bad things.

the80sweregreat · 12/03/2025 06:00

It's odd that Tommy was fine with Zack , yet now his been allowed home it's all gone very strange and Kat is so terr

the80sweregreat · 12/03/2025 06:00

Posted too soon
.. Kat is so terrified of him .. :(

Middlemarch123 · 12/03/2025 06:32

l think the way Kat is with Tommy is quite realistic and well done.
When I was DSL at the school I taught in, we had instances where kids went back home after physically abusing parents/siblings, and it wasn’t unusual for parents reacting like Kat. Luckily, it usually turned out well, but we would work closely with agencies to support both student and families. They should all have support, counselling etc. It does seem that Tommy has just been thrown back in to sink or swim though.

storminabuttercup · 12/03/2025 06:36

@Bluesandwhites yes I think with Tommy she is terrified, think she's scared of him, scared of what he'll do to the twins, even scared of what he could do to Alfie. I think maybe scared of her reaction to him too because age hit him before. I'm guessing this storyline will go down the route of do you really know who your kids are talking to online etc regardless of how it goes, they could pick from plenty of outcomes really, incel, county lines, exploitation and goodness knows what else I just hope they do it properly and don't brush it under the carpet
I agree about how we didn't see much of tommys rehabilitation just snippets but then Zac went to stay with whit for Christmas etc so ...

the80sweregreat · 12/03/2025 07:00

Phil would definitely stand up to Nicola and Teddy if he kicks off about Sharon.
.. Although ( thinking about it) he might not be too happy when (or if ) he finds out about Grant and Sharon so he might not be keen to get too involved. Hard to know how he'll react tbh.

storminabuttercup · 12/03/2025 07:38

I know it's tv

But Sharon should have just said 'nah Barney misheard i was talking about years ago and how Grant being back brought back memories'
Grant only told B and she's not likely to say much

Way.too.invested

I had a spoiler for next week pop up

Anyonecanfallinlove · 12/03/2025 07:48

Oh I put photos of the screenshots but they are under review. It's such a long spoiler but i've copied and pasted below.

Last year, Harry Mitchell found himself under
suspicion for the disappearance of his
ex-girlfriend, Shireen Bashar, ultimately
leading to his arrest for her murder.
His mother, Nicola, quickly stepped in,
providing Harry with a false alibi for the night
Shireen vanished. Although she was lying
her detailed account of events was
convincing enough to secure his release
However, in upcoming scenes marking the
four-year anniversary of Shireen's
disappearance, the case takes a new turn.
At The Arches, Harry receives an unexpected
visit from Shireen's brother, Asad. To his
relief, Asad admits he no longer believes
Harry was involved in his sister's fate.
Meanwhile, Nicola arranges a vigil at Harry's
Barn in Shireen's memory. But the gathering
takes a dramatic turn when Asad arrives and
publicly accuses Teddy Mitchell of murder.
Teddy firmly denies the allegations,
prompting Harry to step in and defend his
father. Later, in the privacy of their home
Harry pleads with Teddy to tell him the truth.
At the same time, Nicola secretly visits a
mysterious man named Benji, demanding to
know Shireen's whereabouts. What is she
hiding?
The following day, tensions escalate. Harry,
struggling with recent events, distances
himself from Nicola. Meanwhile, Teddy
meets with Junior Knight to discuss their new business venture.
Elsewhere, Nicola is called to Walford East by Ravi Gulati, who warns her about a
dangerous batch of drugs circulating in the
area. Later, Teddy catches her on the phone
with a drug supplier, forcing her to confess
her involvement in the trade.
Harry's downward spiral continues as he
makes a scene at The Albert. Under the
influence, he picks a fight with Felix Baker,
leading his parents to intervene and take him
home.
At No.1, Nicola tries to convince Teddy to
withdraw his support for Junior's business
proposal, though her reasons remain unclear,
Later, at the Boxing Den, Teddy confides in
Sharon Watts, admitting he still has feelings
for her after the week's dramatic events
Soon after, he secretly contacts Junior,
agreeing to a business deal while keeping it
hidden from Nicola.
What secrets is Teddy keeping? And how will
Junior's plans affect Nicola?

Shellingbynight · 12/03/2025 08:06

Thank you for the spoilers.

Although it was exhausting reading all that, way way too much New Mitchells, I don't want to see any of it! Especially anything involving Harry.

It always seemed obvious it was Nicola who 'disappeared' Shireen one way or another. Nicola entire life seems to be a string of shady violent incidents.

the80sweregreat · 12/03/2025 08:09

Teddy getting involved in all that.
They are all bad news

Shellingbynight · 12/03/2025 08:18

I had forgotten that we of course already know what Nicola's lucrative sideline is - drug dealing.

thisoldcity · 12/03/2025 09:33

With Tommy's storyline I was kind if hoping that for once there might be a story where a child doesn't go from bad to worse, where the intervention of social services actually helps and the child improves. I think it would be nice to occasionally have a story like that, and as it's a child they can follow it though and maybe he will help other children and be one of the few 'good' characters on the square. I'm probably being soppy, I know!

the80sweregreat · 12/03/2025 10:12

Ravi was working for Nicola once , but he seems to have disappeared now Dee is with Jack.

the80sweregreat · 12/03/2025 10:20

At least junior will have a storyline now. I don't mind him tbh.
Maybe Harry's girlfriend died from a drug overdose and Nicola supplied them ?

the80sweregreat · 12/03/2025 10:43

Teddy was really pissed off today wasn't he? Poor Zack ( again)
So much violence from one family :(

Eastie77Returns · 12/03/2025 11:32

Didn’t the witness who met up Penny (in full view of everyone in the Vic despite being terrified of the Mitchells lol) say that Shireen was pregnant when she vanished? Maybe she will turn up with Harry’s baby.

But there is way too much NuMitchell time in those spoilers. Do we really need another SL about dodgy drugs. I’ve said before but surely there is no way Ravi would be still supplying after Nugget almost died taking drugs last year. And it’s never been explained exactly why a hard man like Ravi is so beholden to Nicola.

I loved Sharon’s punch. Felt sorry for the Nicola actress cos my goodness that looked real!

the80sweregreat · 12/03/2025 11:37

Ravi held Barney over the bridge that time, so Nicola feels he owes her!
So, is it Jumpers who is the hard nut or is Nicola covering her own backside here?
He certainly went for Zack today

NowNumber5 · 12/03/2025 11:41

Oh crikey. Poor Zack 😓
Awful. Way too much graphic violence lately.

Shireen was pregnant when she vanished? Maybe she will turn up with Harry’s baby.

@Eastie77Returns Today's episode will show that that ship's sailed - Teddy's doing, not Nasty Nic's as was originally implied.

And Brenda just walking into Sonia's house like that!
I mean, yes come on EE, lock your doors, but surely you'd still knock and call out before casually waltzing in wouldn't you!
MNs would not like that, they don't even like opening the door when there is a knock 😂

the80sweregreat · 12/03/2025 11:49

No, I wondered how Brenda just waltzed in
She didn't even say sorry to Sonia really did she ( unless I missed that apology!)
They should lock doors more
The new Mitchell's are all a disaster area apart from Barney

NowNumber5 · 12/03/2025 12:01

80s I think she just walked into the front room and said casually "The door was open" !!

the80sweregreat · 12/03/2025 12:04

Blimey, they really need to lock their doors more
They never learn do they ? lol
