Thanks for the new thread.

I agree about Kathy, I remember her flings and the way she treated Ben. I wonder if Cindy reminded her of her own flaws, so she lashed out at her. Probably overthinking it! Love Keith Allen, looking forward to seeing him.

Thanks South!

Thanks for the new thread 🥰

Just watched monday and Tuesdays - the thumping Nicola took from sharon! Well deserved

I feel weird about zack and barney - this is wrong of me, I know, but if the boy is happy, kind of think they should leave things alone

Then again, as someone who was in barney's situation, albeit my sd knew, it's best he's told. I think I just find zack annoying - he should've left with Whitney

Zack is grieving and not thinking straight, but I agree he is also annoying sometimes

Thanks for the new thread

Checking in, thanks for the thread.

Thank you for the new thread @Southeastdweller

I agree they should leave well alone with Barney. It is not going to benefit Barney to know Zack is his dad, and it won't benefit Zack either because Barney will hate him for throwing a bomb into his life. But this is EE so he'll find out soon enough!

I think you put up a link to Felix leaving on the old thread, South. I am not surprised, he has barely been on screen. I just wonder why. He was a potentially good character but he got completely forgotten about.

Last time I saw Felix was during the explosion episode and he was in the cafe or somewhere looking distressed.
I liked his character as a bar man and generally a happy soul , but he didn’t really have any storylines at all.

Thanks for the new thread!

Sonja looks like she’s in the Smile movie here 😂

I've just seen that it's been suggested Nicola and Sharon are sisters... I hope they don't do this, both because Zak being Sharon's brother and having a child with Nicola is ick, but also because.... Why?

They might do it so Zac and Nicola are not related so Sharon dad and Zacs are the same parent and Sharon's mother had a child with someone else so Sharon and Nicola are half sisters but not Zac Nicola .

Oh no, so glad chris clenshaw is going, because why does sharon need more long lost siblings 🙄🙄

That's just the tabloids reporting SM speculation, I don't think it's going to happen.

I really don’t like the Zack and Barney storyline

it feels like an after thought

I agree @storminabuttercup

Read an interview with the Sonia actress and she said she felt relieved leaving EE as having to learn lines every evening increasingly felt like a burden. I don’t think it was her choice to go though. From what I read, the door has been left open for her to return so perhaps she’s just going to Milton Keynes with Bianca. Although it really wouldn’t make sense to leave a million pound house you own to live in a small flat in MK!

Maybe Nicola will buy the house? Or they may rent it to the knights?

That's so funny, why would Sonia leave a million pound house that she got for free 😭

Edit, Agree with above, she'll rent it out

Oh its all going daaan at the Jumpers today.

Kathy and Harvey need to sort things out about Jean ASAP. I feel sorry for her even if she has been a pain. She has a lot on and there was the whole compensation thing with the widow.

Poor Nigel 😞

Placemarking.

I haven't seen tonight's yet but I do feel sorry for Jean, she is at times an awful person but she takes on a lot for her family without much thought for her own needs. This story with Harvey and Kathy is just sending the message to men are selfish and as soon as their partner no longer has the capacity to also pander after them then they will go off and find it elsewhere, then excuse that as "well you were pushing me away."

Well yes Harvey, you little baby. Her DGC's father just died, her DD has swanned off to cry/have her baby, Ruby's making a shitshow of the funeral arrangements and she needs to work to build up the pot of money she was scammed out of. Whilst you go wasting money on football tickets and picnics for your lover! 🙄🤣

I might be in the minority but I don't feel any sympathy for Jean really. I do think she is hardworking, selfless and puts her family first. But she has repeatedly been absolutely horrible to Harvey for months. If the roles were reversed and a man was treating his girlfiend like that, people would say it's abusive and she should leave

I think that when you're horrible, time and time again, to your partner (or friend) then it's natural you'll look elsewhere for comfort and support. Harvey isn't much of a prize, but he can do better than Jean.

I agree @InALonelyWorld If Harvey wants to leave Jean that's fine. But he should support her until the funeral is over and then make an honest break, rather than skulking around with Kathy. There is no excuse for that.

He has shown himself to be completely useless in a crisis so good luck to Kathy (although she hasn't covered herself in glory either).
