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:

Peter has arranged a surprise wedding for Lauren , and she doesn't know if she wants it . Reception to be in the Vic .
I think Max goes into the pub where I assume Stacey is .

I don’t like colour blind casting in some TV shows and EE has never done it before but in today’s episode Zoe wants Sharon to fund the search for her son and she’s still saying that Dennis is the father but if he’s Anthony’s then Sharon will quickly find out he can’t be Dennis’s child…unless they go the colour blind route.

I can't remember if the dates match up well enough for Zoe think it might be Dennis. But it was pretty obvious she said Dennis just to wind Sharon up.

I don't think she even looked at the babies properly (did she?)

So one possibility is that Zoe doesn't know who the father is (and has said Dennis to wind up Sharon, without knowing they are mixed race so clearly it's Antony). I just cannot think of any reason Antony would have been invited back unless for this.

It could have been a good storyline but Zoe is so dreary and unpleasant, and the writing is all over the shop.

Could be that Jasmine is adopted sister of Zoe's son?

Yay I've finally found you all again, got lost for a while.
I wondered if Anthony adopted Zoe's twins. I don't know if the dates match, and obviously it's very far fetched, but it's not out of the realms of soapland.
I haven't watched this week's yet, but I don't believe Dennis is the father at all

Yes I like that theory. In today’s episode Jasmine didn’t want to give her ID to Cindy about her right to work - possibly because she doesn’t want people to know she’s a Trueman?

Antony was living either abroad or in Scotland since he left Walford. If she doesn't want anyone knowing she is a Trueman, why turn up in Walford when Antony will see her? I don't know why I expect it to make sense though. It hasn't so far.

For them to have an ID scene, there's definitely hints to her wanting to stay anonymous. One things for sure her ID won't say Slater. Surely Patrick and co have seen photos of Anthony's 2 children, and they would know their names. I'm probably over thinking and it will be the simplest option, Anthony will be the biological father. It's just that when Zoe spoke to Anthony, asking if he had kids etc, I didn't get the vibe that she was hiding the fact he was the father to her twins

According to Google Zoe, Dennis and Anton-ee were all in Albert Square in 2005 so the father could be either.

Could Jasmine be connected to Howie?

During that scene, I went back to the trans theory - maybe she feels ashamed she’s trans and doesn’t want people to know as she hasn’t changed her original first name. But I think your theory is more likely.

I did see there's been a few posts on here about the possibility that Jasmine is trans. At this point anything is possible

Another theory on Facebook is Jasmine is targeting Cindy through the Fosters connection when she went into witness protection. . Maybe she’ll get hit again with a shovel at Christmas!

Before Ant's arrival I don't think I ever heard Patrick mention he even had grandchildren. I've never spotted pictures of Ant, his wife and the nameless children anywhere in Patrick's house.

I'm now starting to think Jasmine's appearance (i.e. the fact she is potentially mixed race) is a red herring and nothing to do with Zoe and Ant. I like the theory she's connected to the Fosters and is after Cindy. She (Cindy) needs taking down a peg or two again!

Interesting! And we know Michelle Collins took a break last month to do the Fringe so maybe Cindy flees from the Fosters.

Jasmine did give Cindy a funny look today, but it is only online speculation around the Fosters connections.
Today’s one was better , so glad that Ian and Sharon are friends again ( potential poisoning by carbonara aside that one time ) and the scenes with Ian Sharon and Kathy were fab. I noticed the writer today was Daren little and he is so good at that type of thing.
Zoe is clearly lying , I can see another scene where Sharon discovers this big lie and it will kick off.
Oscar with Pe tah is funny! He is such a funny character.

I don't know which prospect is worse - more gangsta trouble with Cindy, or Zoe's dead daughter.😑

The only bright light in all this
loud shouty public brawling Zoe/Shaz/Vicki drama is Oscar - he is very droll 😄

I remember when Antnee first reappeared he said something having a wife, Sophie, and two little (? Don't know if i imagined/misremembered this bit) boys back in Scotland.)

Edited - just looked up on wiki, and apparently his wife and kids are in Beijing!

In August 2025, Anthony returns to Walford for Patrick's upcoming wedding to Yolande. He reveals that Sophie and the children are in Beijing visiting her family.

I still think Antnee is the father of Jasmine, the girl twin who obviously didn't die, and the boy twin, who will be appearing very soon, thanks to Miss Moneybags 😁

Antony used Sophie being in Bejing as an excuse as to why she and kids didn't attend the wedding, but he subsequently admitted he had broken up with Sophie. So she could be anywhere, but I suppose Bejing is conveniently far away!

I rewatched the birth scene on youtube and the baby does look mixed race.

Hi, sorry very long time lurker, and probably won't post ever again 😆 but I think Zoe naming Dennis or Den as the dad is a windup. My money is on her daughter still being alive as there was never confirmation, and Anthony (or Paul) being the twins father

Witches, please come back again ! Our spoilers are great and it’s nice ‘chewing the fat ‘ so to speak about upcoming stories and speculation around what might happen to everyone!

Zoe's still got the manky jumper on. I agree with PP that Jasmine has something to do with Cindy.

Zoe is such a little shit stirrer. She really shouldn't have come back to the square. What a bitch!

She's awful the sneering way she talks is annoying me much more than it should 😱

Who does E-laine mean when she said to Cindy "sleeping with your daughter's half brother"?
My brain turns to mush when trying to configure all the relationships!
