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.

They were talking about the money in today’s episode. A very confusing conversation about how if Howie didn’t stop them from shopping Oscar, Lauren would tell about the money but then she would be in trouble for the fake alibi. So they agreed they wouldn’t stitch each other up.

Anthony’s another hypocrite - didn’t he let Paul take the rap for him drink driving when they were teenagers!

Antnee is definitely a hypocrite, mind you, they all are.
( I can’t believe that they all got away with Ken’s demise, but I need to let that go .! ..

Who is the worst actor - Peter or Antnee? I can't decide.

Yes there was 'don't double-cross me or I'll double-cross you' conversation about the money, which all the actors looked quite confused about 😆 hard to keep track.

Oscar is in next week's episodes so I guess he isn't charged.

Oscar is really interesting to watch. Complex teenager. When is Max back?

I find Oscar a compelling character too.

I've come round to Oscar a bit. He was good today.

Jack really isn't a good detective. Surely by now pieces would be slotting together to why Howie was so aggresive with Oscar and so invested. Not to mention the sudden switch up.

I actually really feel sorry for Oscar at times. It's quite obvious now that no one has ever seemed to actually care about him and now he's just being told over and over again how much of a waster he is like his dad. Let's not forget it was Lauren who stopped him immediately confessing anyways.

Who's getting married? I missed that

Patrick and Yolande!

Were Patrick and Yolande married in the old days or just partners? Is this their first or second marriage (to each other!)?

oh of course!!

I can be such a dunce sometimes

I am getting to like Oscar now too, he has more integrity than Howie or Jack! And he acts Antnee and Peter off the screen.

I don't think they ever did. He married Sheree i think while Yolande had buggered off to Birmingham. Maybe.

Google says they were married for 5 years from 2004 until they divorced in 2009. But I honestly can't remember if that's true or not.

Patrick and Yolande’s first wedding:

Yolande is looking very trim. I don't know if she's lost weight or if they are dressing her differently, I liked the dress she was wearing last night.

Brief spoilers for next week's 'huge incident'

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/eastenders/a65831613/eastenders-spoilers-major-incident-huge-consequences/

We know there's a gun on the loose, and the fact that Howie is mentioned makes me wonder if he gets shot. He has to face consequences for the Patrick incident.

Howie's days in the square are numbered but we know Anna and Bobby are leaving so could be one of them. Oscar being shot gives Max a reason to return so it could be him, but then again - he's had some big stories already.

Said many times now, but Max Murray is mesmerisingly good as Joel. It is rare I see in a soap an outburst of anger from a character that seems completely believable (and a little frightening) as I saw in today's episode.

Yes ,max Murray is excellent, totally believable as well
Hopefully he won't leave ,as I keep seeing spoilers that he does
Same with Oscar ,keep seeing he's leaving to
These two ,Oscar and joel are very strong actors EE would be mad to write them out

I suppose there has to be retribution for Joel eventually, he won’t accept he is wrong or unacceptable in the way that Oscar knows he was wrong. I doubt he’ll stay on, but I rather him or Vicki or Ross who are just annoying!

I'm also really hoping that Oscar and Joel stay - for once they've managed to get young actors who can handle a big storyline, usually they have to sort of train on the job and everyone hopes they get better over time, but these two have been very good from the start. Tommy is pretty good as well and I liked the scene where he showed Alfie the phone as it isn't often that Alfie is faced with any of his stupid antics and Tommy was right to be angry. While I'm at it, Avani is also good as well and she's had some big storylines.

Meanwhile the adults...Ross, Vicky, Peter...they can all get in the bin. Special mention for Antnee who is really astoundingly bad.

Will Joel 'go to therapy' and get 'made to see the error of his ways' ? I hope so, he's a cracking actor, and totally believable

Completely agree

Maybe a stint in prison or ‘ Juvie’ may make Joel a better person , but not sure. Tommy was awful and was reformed a bit, but he is now regressing to his old ways. They do change characters though , Keegan was particularly nasty to Honey and others , but he turned out ok. I thought he played a baddie really well , quite menacing.

Patrick has had a colourful love life ! I remember him with Shiree too and once speculation that either Kim or Dee were his girls ( or one of them was? ) but turned out to be rubbish ! I do get confused with the Foxes and the Truman’s back stories though and how they are all related or not related.
