How old is Albie? Perhaps school is not yet compulsory for him.

Poor Jimmy. Lauren will blame herself because of the drugs. No family on the square is just allowed to be happy.

the80sweregreat · 13/05/2025 12:07

Albie was born Feb 2020 , so he should be in school and we have seen Phil doing the school run ( once!)
His probably enrolled in an Aussie school .. 😂

the80sweregreat · 13/05/2025 12:08

No, nobody can just be happy ! It’s against the EE rules.

i did read somewhere that they will make it clear her drug use was not a factor in his vision impairment, but you know they will still let her milk the guilt for a bit.

the80sweregreat · 13/05/2025 13:13

Of course you’d blame yourself if your child was born with a defect of one of its major organs or eyes etc , so she’ll be beside herself.
Cindy will also stick her boot in too no doubt , once she’s had the story of breaking the news about Kathy and Harvey etc in typical Cindy fashion! She’ll love all that.

Shellingbynight · 13/05/2025 14:08

80s I think it was mentioned during Cindy's return showdown scenes that she had given Lauren drugs, so Pe ta must know (?)

the80sweregreat · 13/05/2025 14:18

Wasn’t sure if Peter knew or not shelling .. he’ll blame her even more now ! . :(
Kat fires Harv next week apparently: it’s not as if he does any work , but it feels a tad harsh considering that Kat had an affair once herself etc etc

Shellingbynight · 13/05/2025 14:31

I haven't watched today's yet, do we think Harvey keeps schtum but Cindy breaks the news (she would definitely love to do that).

As you have probably noticed, I don't have much sympathy with Harvey!

If all this ends with Cindy going I wouldn't complain!

Why was Alfie so bouncy when telling Harvey the bad news about the campervan? It was a really bizarre way of giving bad news, I expected there to be a punchline like ‘but here’s the good news…!’

I thought the same. Alfie is a ridiculous character.

VivienneDelacroix · 13/05/2025 14:39

Southeastdweller · 13/05/2025 07:41

*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.

I really like Heather Peace (and Eve). I wish her a full and uneventful recovery too.

I’ve always love him since the beginning, I loved the Kat and Alfie love story but he’s really gone off the boil the last few years, his edge has gone

God I hate Alfie always have. Not keen on Shane Ritchie either tbh.

Southeastdweller · 13/05/2025 19:01

I feel Alfie is exhausted in terms of stories and Shane Richie doesn’t bring anything worthwhile to his character - the phrase ‘money for old rope’ springs to mind.

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 13/05/2025 19:11

A few characters are ‘ money for old rope’ !
I agree that Alfie is one of those!

Eastie77Returns · 13/05/2025 19:41

Alfie ran his course years ago and serves no purpose now. He just seems to drift around the square, occasionally kicking a ball with the twins. Does he still work in the betting shop?

the80sweregreat · 13/05/2025 19:42

Eastie, Alfie is meant to be the mini mart manager , but you never see him in it at all !

Meredusoleil · 13/05/2025 19:57

Love Kat's new hair cut 💇‍♀️

They are the same person. Shane’s just playing himself.

I really like her too. She is the same age as me. Was shocked to hear about her cancer! Had been noticing Eve's hair getting gradually longer on EE and then it looked a bit like a wig in tonight's episode. So sad, but she still looks amazing imho.

Shellingbynight · 13/05/2025 21:49

So it will be Cindy who reveals the affair then, Harvey would never have the guts to do it. I didn't understand how they couldn't see her as she was blatantly standing there filming them!

I do not understand how she would even get much of a picture sr night or pick up what they're saying

But it will all be as clear as day when she plays it back

Meredusoleil · 14/05/2025 06:11

The people are always so stupid in EE. Harvey or Kathy could easily have shut the gate from prying eyes. But oh no, they have to make sure they are in full view of the street 🙄

the80sweregreat · 14/05/2025 07:31

You’d think that you’d be savvy enough to keep your conversations private on the square ! Kathy should be well aware of this one.

Southeastdweller · 14/05/2025 07:46

Kathy was also stupid enough to believe that Cindy deleted the video (in today’s episode she blackmailed Kathy to sign over businesses). It’s all come out now that Cindy has played the video anyway, she made another copy. I wonder if Michelle Collins is leaving because I can’t see a way back now for Cindy.

I found myself getting distracted earlier looking at Kathy in her scenes with Cindy because she is looking fabulous. Hard to believe Gillian Taylforth is 70 in a few months’ time.

I wondered if I missed something re the Mick and Linda photo, it really isn't feasible that it could survive! I suppose it is realistic they are still mourning Martin but conveniently yesterday they all decided that a booze up in the Vic is what Martin would have wanted' 😆

I think a few of us thought they were going down the 'woman hating teen' route with Nugget or Tommy. Doing it with Joel makes sense as it is not really a storyline a character can be redeemed from. Joel is a 'disposable' character and can be sent to Youth Offenders and forgotten. It is a bonus that he seems a very good actor, I don't think Nugget or Tommy could cope with it.

Agreed. The actor playing Joel is hugely talented. Whoever plays Tommy is also very good, the other teens are sadly very average.
