Sharon's look was perfect around the time of the live but now she does look puffy and her hair looks weird again

I think Shireen must have worked for Nicola as a dealer and he having her killed was a fallout from that.

I often wonder who is looking after baby Charli and all the other children we don’t see.
How did Lexi get into her grandads house?
I do feel that Nige should tell people about his diagnosis and shouldn’t really be working in a busy cafe.

I'm still hoping that Shireen isn't dead dead and will turn up soon with a small child. Benjy the unlikely hit man couldn't bring himself to do it, so he just threatened her maybe, especially if she was pregnant. She will arrive in classic black cab style, feet first in spiky heels. Duff duff.

I can see a few fraught weeks with Nicola trying to find out if the body of Shireen has been found , only to discover she was mugged off and Benji took her cash and didn’t go through with it and the lady went into hiding somewhere with fake ID and whatever else you need in order to not be found. Which must be harder to do than it sounds in real life.

What did Teddy say to Sharon ? Does he want her back or was he ditching her ?

Can I join in please . I’m loving Nigel he’s doing a great job of someone acting with dementia I know as my lovely mam recently passed with the cruel illness . As for the Nicola storyline I think it will be a slow burn which will all explode Christmas time . Love Jean normally but would love Kathy and Harvey to get together.

Dementia is a cruel horrible disease and it’s so sad that people have to see loved ones go through this. My late dad had it for years and it was horrible.
Billy having a pop at Nigel was nasty today (even though he wasn’t aware of his diagnosis at the time etc. )

Lexi is definitely a new hard woman Mitchell in the making isn’t she !
‘ I won’t go till I see my granddad ‘ ! ( stamps foot )
That last scene reminded me of Paddington 2 when they go to see the poor bear in jail!
where has Phil gone though ?
hope he is ok.

Billy has always been a nasty bully, he is one of those men who thinks it's weak to be empathetic or show your emotions.
I know they are marmite on here but I like Teddy and Nicola, Harry and Barney can bugger off.
No idea about the Shireen story but agree in true EE style she won't be dead.
So glad Lynda is back and sober I love her.
WTF with Lily smashing furniture up to help her grieve?

I admit I was distracted today by most of it and missed why Lily was smashing up stuff or what Teddy meant by his little chat with Sharon.
I do wonder if Teddy will run between both women , but hoping that Sharon sees through any of that palaver !

Linda is looking great at the moment. They will probably give her a baddie type boyfriend next week as his from ‘ outside ‘ ! Hope not , but it rarely goes well with any dates.

I think Linda is just lovely to Nigel

I couldn’t work out what he meant, saying he still cares for her a lot.

I’m loving sober Linda

Was Teddy saying to Sharon ‘ don’t be scared of me’ ? I did really struggle with what he was saying tbh!

I haven't seen today's, I only just watched yesterday's as we were out last night.

I thought the same as another poster about Shireen supplying drugs to Harry.

Even if Teddy doesn’t do the Dartford deal, someone will, so Shireen’s getting dug up (or not, because she is probably just EastEnders Dead).

My gran and my mother had dementia (my mother for many years) and so far I don't think they are doing a good job with Nigel's dementia. The actor is fine but the writing is in and out.

Junior looked quite happy last night. I feel they could make him into a nice character if they tried hard enough , he has shown compassion before.
Is Gina still living with him ?

Just catching up. I’m struggling to work out what Ravi does for Nicola and what her role is. She has a contact who supplies drugs and what is Ravi’s job? To move the drugs to the dealers? I recall her telling him that she answers to “higher people”. Do the rest of the Nu Mitchell’s know about her dealings because Harry didn’t question it when she panicked and told him he had bought from a potentially dodgy batch so presumably he is aware she moves drugs…

BIlly really is a vile little slug, poor Nigel. God knows what Honey sees in him. Jean's histrionics are getting tiresome and Harvey is being a weak coward. What's happened to Sharon's face? Like one of those cardboard Guy Fawkes masks. Can you just walk into a mental health unit as a gang and demand to see someone? Lexi is getting to be a bit of a madam.

I'm finding the Jumpers Nicola stuff a bit cringe.

Serious question-

How do Linda etc all have their clothes ? When the pub burnt down ??

I've just had a thought:

Could it be Shireen's own family that killed her because she was pregnant out of wedlock? A kind of honour killing thing?

Although having seen her brother Asad, the family didn't strike me as particularly religious 🤔

Or could Nicola have just killed her out of some twisted jealousy, because she didn't want her to have Harry's baby?!?

Was rather shocked at Billy's thuggish behaviour towards Nigel tonight. He's more like a Mitchell now than ever 🙄

Did Harry even know Shireen was pregnant with his child? Or is the pregnancy just gossip and we don't know for sure?

We know Nic had Shireen killed, she admitted it. Nobody has said Shireen was pregnant as far as I know.

Yes WTF has happened to Sharon's face, it looks like it has melted. She was looking fine a few weeks ago.

@Bunionbabe I completely agree with your post, it was a toss up as to who was more annoying, Billy or Harvey. I think Billy won today.

As for them all tipping up at the mental health unit. As if.

Keith Allen was on the One Show tonight talking about his role (which airs tomorrow). He emphasised the storyline is about men not feeling able to talk about their feelings, that is why Billy was being a thundering annoyance and showing why it's important to talk (laying it on with a trowel there).

The best thing about tonight's episode was Linda talking to Nigel on the staircase. She got it exactly right.
