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:

Elaine was funny today ( even if the whole thing was ridiculous 🙄) I was expecting one of them to trip up over the ropes !
, but I did want Zoe to tell Jean to post her own parcel. She is holding it against her over Stacey etc , but she should save it for max too!
Saw a photo online of max at Jimmy’s christening with a fat lip! Maybe Jean punches him .. lol

I won’t miss Junior. He had a lot to do last year , but been a bit part since and surplus to requirements lately.

Confirmed today that Sam returns next month:

I didn’t mind Sam tbh. At least she was a business woman and looked like she did some work occasionally! Although no idea where she’ll live.
Phils place is banged out. Maybe she’ll rent a place at Elaine’s b and b.

Phil’s place is a Tardis so am sure he has room for Sam. But they parted on extremely bad terms after she revealed his affair with Patsy Kensit to everyone in The Vic. This will probably all be forgotten though.

IRL Elaine couldn’t just turn her house into a BnB as she would need licensing, planning permission, commercial mortgage etc. But nothing on EE reflects real life so she’ll have it up and running before Christmas with the house transformed even though we haven’t even seen any signs of renovation work.

Poor Ravi, stuck with Jack&Jack. Your next door neighbour as your handler, yeh that definitely happens.

Junior has shown zero interest in Kojo before today. Bugger off to Dubai Junior.

What was the point of the ridiculous ladies' day out?

Sam's return will mean only one thing - yet more strops from Zoe.

Eastie, Elaine asked Jumpers for ‘ a renovation price ‘ but he wasn’t interested or it was too much or something and it wasn’t mentioned anymore after that.
She has now bought that lampshade , so someone must have done something 😂
Agree that any kind of planning or anything you would need to do in real life is airbrushed. EE land laugh in the face of regulations ( unless it’s the tax office closing Ravi’s restaurant overnight , that happened very quickly !)

Sam and Zoe , it’ll be a Mexican stand off ! Pistols at dawn.

I wouldn’t mind seeing old grumpy Phil back! He always found Sam difficult and it won’t help his mood having her around! What she is doing back is anyone’s guess really. Maybe she is behind all tne drug stuff ? Or just too far fetched. One of her old boy friends was in trouble once and hunted her down , so she knows dodgy people.

Yes pistols at dawn! I wonder if they have brought Sam back partly as a substitute for Sharon who clearly isn't going to be around. It isn't very convincing with Vicky doing second-hand-stropping.

Might be a substitute Sharon having Sam around.
Vicki isn’t cutting it and jusy snarling at people. At least Sam is a bit of a better actress. I liked her friendship with Zac , they got on ok.

Yes it would be nice if she's mellowed a bit ( unlikely ) and becomes a nice partner for Zac .

Oh that would be funny if Sam turned out to be the invisible gangster controlling Ravi’s drug ring. She always tried be a hardened criminal like her brothers but she was a bit rubbish at it. I vaguely remember some stuff with the nightclub and Jonah when she was last around.

80s, I remember Teddy quoted Elaine and she said it was too much. Then suddenly she was discussing soft furnishings with Johnny so yeah, I suppose ‘someone’ magically did all the renovation work. Does Linda know her home is turning into a B&B?!

I'm a bit confused by all the talk of Elaine turning her place into a B&B. Doesn't she now live in Kat and Alfie's old flat? How is that big enough to become a B&B?!?

Ee-laine bought Jack n Jacks house. Which is pretty big, 3 or 4 floors. It is the building where Ravi, Priya and kids were living in plush basement flat.

Linda is too busy on the high seas to worry about her mum and her renovations! Which seems to have been done fairly quickly if she is buying lampshades now for the new place.

What was the point of the Ee-laine stuff it wasn't even funny. I'm finding Julie quite irritating now with her breathlessness.

Nigel didn’t need his lucky tie in the end! I thought that Yolande did the dry cleaning ‘ out the back ‘ and didn’t send it off, but clearly wrong , it’s only normal washing that she does ( the service wash!)
For a teacher, Julie seems to have a lot of time off, but maybe she is part time ?

E-laine's project is not a b&b it is a Boutique Hotel doncha know!

I liked Sam in one of her recent-ish incarnations, I was sorry when she left. Not the last brief visit which was just daft, but the one before that.

The Nigel crash storyline was yet another damp squib, resolved in a couple of weeks. Julie is really getting on my wick now, the breathy whisper. The only time she went to work was when she was needed for Joel gossip!

The highlight of today's episode was Ritchie making an appearance.

Breathy whisper 😂. It's so irritating.

After all the hoo ha with Jasmine and the fruit and note, she now seems to have disappeared.
A boutique hotel ! Not just any old b and then 😆
The lampshade looked old fashioned, I bet it’ll be all big flower wallpaper and dark furniture.
Can’t believe Will is 18. Makes me feel old !

Looks like Okie’s days are numbered (thank goodness) going by the spoiler on the EE Instagram page. Surprised they have mentioned such a big spoiler when the post was around Kojo’s storyline about vulnerable people getting abused, so they could have talked about that without mentioning Okie’s fate

Is Oakie going to die ? Ravi is properly upset , so guess it’ll happen. Although I hope he doesn’t go in prison for it. He’ll probably frame someone else with Jack and Jack’s help.

I can't see any spoilers about him on the official EE Insta (@bbceastenders). Are you looking at a fan page?
