Lots of reports saying that Lacey Turner is taking an extended break later this year, and that the door will be left open for her to return when she feels the time is right.

It all comes out this week apparently, so maybe Harv will disappear for a break or something?
It’s sad that Stacey is so awful to Lily , it’s not her fault that Martin died. If she had stopped chatting to him during the pub explosion for five minutes he might have lived!

I wonder how they will write out Stacey ?
I hope she does return as I do like her.

Can't say I blame her, it must be so tiring doing EE full-time and bringing up three kids!

How many people can you fit in a camper van? You have to have a seat with seat belt for each passenger so the Slater tribe would need a full size coach. Ludicrous storyline, again. Harvey has all the brains and backbone of a whelk. Why on earth would Kathy want him? Jean must be the most irritating person on the planet and I'm sorry but it's time everyone stopped weeping over Martin and moved on.

I’ve just seen Heather Peace’s Instagram post from earlier this evening. She was diagnosed with breast cancer last October, had surgery and has today finished chemo.
That explains why we’ve not seen much of Eve since she and Suki were married.

Really hope that all goes well for her.

OMG Linda's hair!!!

I agree. It looked awful in that half up do! And so much longer and more grey than the blonde I thought it was. She needs to go back to the signature bun.

The whole no show with the camper thing was weird
Alifie answering the phone and not taking it to Harvey, Harvey not phoning them to try and sort an alternative, the amount of stuff Freddie had got ready to take and nobody saying ‘look mate it’s a camper van’
I’m also not buying Stacey staying in her room all the time, I know why but it’s so out of character as was her buggering off to see Sean, she’d have at least taken the little kids, she spent half of last year trying to stay out of prison ‘for my kids’ then goes awol

Gina will end up falling for harry i think, but it seems like Jay is very keen, although I’m not sure he will every get over Lola, what happened with the drug dealing not pregnant Poundland Lola?

She just disappeared after Ben and the others warned her off, I think 🤔

Strange, but I liked Linda’s hair ! She’ll probably go back to her bun , but it didn’t look that bad half up and down.
Cancelling the camper van was strange, but maybe the writers were told ‘ no money to get one on set ‘ after the script went out and came up with this ! 😂
Surprised that Phil is still upset about Grant and Sharon still when he was keen to cheat on Kat pre marriage with Emma and hardly a saint himself with relationships. I suppose it’s because it’s Grant.
Agree that the moping over Martin is tiring , but I suppose it’s why Stacey ends up leaving ( again )
She should have treated him better when she had the chance.
I like Gina , but she is better off without H or Jay , too much baggage !
I do find Harry oddly attractive now though and didn’t before ( too young for me though, they all are ! lol)

Stevie saw that Nadine girl off after a show down and finding out she had a cushion instead of a baby bump!
Jay is meant to be running the car lot , but never there
Sharon must be living permanently with Jada now , she hasn’t been seen since early April.

*Really hope that all goes well for her.^

Me too, I just can’t imagine what she went through, still is, although she talks about it on that insta post. Today’s episode was the first she filmed since she had her treatment and you can tell she’s a bit frail.

Just seen that there is going to be a visual impairment storyline around baby Jimmy.

I liked Linda’s hair - very Linda! The bun seemed to signal being miserable and drunk, now she’s got cheerful hair😄

Thanks for the link about Stacey, South. My guess is that the family find out that she was the cause of Martin’s death and that forces her to leave. That is why they are still harping on about Saint Martin, so it will be a huge and damaging revelation. I originally thought they would give her another bipolar episode but they seem to be ignoring her bipolar.

Thanks for the info about Heather, Madison. I hope she’s okay now.

Did I mishear yesterday or did someone (Linda I think?) say something about Sharon being with Michelle?

You didn't mishear, I meant to mention that too. Suddenly Sharon has left Jada and gone to stay with Michele. I thought they had a falling out after Martin's death but I can't remember what happened?

Edit - oh it was because Michele refused to come over for the funeral I think?

I Wish Heather Pearce well. I was shocked to see something on Facebook about her being ill.
Missed her being around.
I also missed the mention of Sharon being with Michelle too. Who is running the gym , is Phil still the joint owner ?
Albie will come back with an Aussie accent .. lol

Poor baby Jimmy :(
I hope they handle it sensitively.
I feel sorry for him , his parents are flaky at the best of times and Lauren will just blame herself constantly :(

I was thinking about Albie, surely he should be in school (not that they care about that on EE!). I think it was Vicky who mentioned Sharon being with Michelle.

The Jimmy storyline depresses me because we will see a lot of Peter 'acting'.😐

Oh god! Yes, Cindy being all sanctimonious ( even though she gave Lauren the drugs too ) and Pe ta trying to act the concerned partner / dad. Badly.
Poor Jimmy

It'll be hard going! I hope Lauren isn't going to screech again. I hadn't thought about Cindy, makes it even worse. Bleugh.

Lauren will screech her way through that diagnoses. She never has a good time of it though

Maybe the Jimmy storyline will finally see off Cindy (if Peter blames her)?

Does Pe ta know his mum gave her the drugs ?
I honestly lose track with most of these long storylines sometimes ( all the time )
