EastEnders: the SPOILERS thread!

[Southeastdweller]

Welcome to the EastEnders spoilers thread, where we post and talk about any EE spoilers we've read about, including those in early release episodes on iPlayer.

Link below to watch episodes on BBC iPlayer - these are usually dropped at 6am on broadcast days - and you can read brief synopses of upcoming episodes:

I suspect she will dress it up as 'protecting Harry' because she is always going on about 'her boys'. But most likely Shireen found out about one of Nic's criminal activities and was going to expose it. Nic is a pretty shit villain really, she keeps getting found out!

She landed herself in it on Thursday!
saying four years was a big faux pax.
she should have stayed quiet.
It’s probs why she went to prison using the fake Botox , told the woman it was fake stuff, but ‘ give it go eh darling‘ ’ its cheap from a guy I know ‘ etc.etc.

I need to look at Nics nice frock now ( I do think she dresses very well , much better than Sharon's ubiquitous shiney leggings)

Jumpers blue/teal cable knit sweater ( in the link ) was lovely

70s, Nicolas dress was black with a kind of cut out bit at the front. It was just lovely and stylish , but would look like a sack of spuds on me.

Spoilers from next week about Nicola say

Tuesday
Teddy halts work on the building site so he and Nicola can strike a deal with Benji.
Nicola realises that she'll need to sell the club in order to pay Benji, but Teddy comes up with another solution.

Thursday
Nicola faces a reckoning at the club as a dangerous situation unfolds. Who has arrived to confront her?

I wondered if Teddy's 'other solution' is to kill Benji after he's done the job. Although that would require Teddy to either get his hands dirty himself, perish the thought!

And on Thursday, has Shireen's brother found out?

Nicola's visitor next Thursday is described as "mysterious", so it won't be Shireen's brother (Asad) because we've already seen him. Could be another sibling, though.

I read the individual episode guides where it phrases it differently, it just asks who has arrived to confront her.

It could be Shireen of course, who turns out to only be EastEnders Dead😆

She’s a very unconvincing villain. The fact she hired someone like Benji in the first place speaks to that. I think someone on an earlier thread called her a Poundshop Chrissie Watts and they were not wrong. Chrissie or Janine would wipe the floor with her!

They do dress Nicola well I agree
She has some lovely clothes.

Cindy is back next month;

Thanks for the link @Southeastdweller

I hope they are not going to keep on about Kathy's Secret. It is meaningless, Cindy has no proof.

I wonder where Cindy goes from here. I suppose she will get back with Junior as everyonelse hates her!

Cindy is exciting at least. Junior might return with his wife and kid as he has just left to visit them. Not sure where Cindy will fit in if this happens. I guess there is always Phil and Jumpers.

I don’t understand why Junior’s ex still lives in Dubai on her own (well with their kid) when they were only out there for Juniors job in the first place.

I don’t know where else there is for Cindy’s character to go at this point but I do like her as she’s a good villain to have around. She doesn’t have anywhere to live, I suppose Peter is the only one who has time for her so she will end up living with him and poor Lauren at Sonia’s.

Tuesday’s spoiler sounds mad. How much is Benji blackmailing Nicola for if she is having to sell the club?? His blackmail doesn’t even make sense as the bracelet he planted on Shireen could have been given to her at any time and doesn’t tie Nicola to her death.

Juniors wife ( cannot remember her name ) added nothing to the plot or storyline so I;m not bothered if she comes back .
Though knowing Eastenders she'll come back pregnant with her&Juniors Band Aid Baby .
George will be delighted and welcome them back to live in the newly done up Vic ( I'm sure they can have extra bedrooms bult in when they refurbish)
Especially if it keeps Cindy away from the Knights ( Elaine will have her barred for sure )

If Shireen is found with Nicolas bracelet , she can just say "that theiving little cow pinched it "

It's like the whole Ken and Dee's necklace . If she'd said "Ken wanted to see my necklace as he fancied buying one for Sharon, I took it off to give it to him them it all kicked off in the pub, that;s why he had it" ...that is feasible . Instead , no , they have to dig him up .

Monique ?

The whole bracelet saga seems to lack suspense, as you both say, it can be explained.
Cindy may return with Cindy junior or another long lost child.

Yes perhaps Cindy had yet more children after ‘Rose’ left George. It’s bizarre that none of her children seem to have asked her what she was doing or where she lived in the many unaccounted for years between leaving George and reuniting with Ian.

Monique was an atrocious actress so let’s hope she stays in Dubai.

Eastie, I often said on these threads ‘ what was Cindy doing for 9 years, where was she living ?’
it’s never been explained really , but I suppose she was moving around a bit ?

Today’s one was really bad.
How did Nicola manage to fob Barney off , he must have noticed her suitcase and asked some questions?
He wasn’t in the house when Jumpers got back.
Plus Dartford is hardly ‘ up the road ‘ from them , it would take around an hour and half or more to get there over the QE2 bridge etc. Does she have the tolls app for the van H has lent her ? That van would be easily traced too!
She also needs a bigger shovel.
really terrible episode and the whole Avani thing is also going in circles especially now Callum is involved etc.
So, Shireen knew that Barney wasn’t Teddy’s son
wonder how she found out that one ?

Not sure if I’ve noticed it more today but there seemed to be a number of thinking while gazing into the distance shots, like something taught at the Joey Tribbiani school of acting.

If Shireen did somehow find out, that would be reason enough for Nicola to kill her. Look how far she was prepared to go to shut Zack up! I'm sure she would go further if need be.

Ah if she knew about Barney that explains why Shireen ended up under a car park. So Nic will couch it as 'to protect my boy' but actually it was to protect herself.

Yes, now we understand the motive re Shireen. But Jumpers doesn’t (yet). Presumably it’s only a matter of time before it all comes out.

So bored of the Avani story! Can’t see what more they can squeeze out of that.

How on earth did Shireen find out about Barney..

‘Smell the fart’ acting
