I thought that! And it was quite small

Has Zoe really gone..

It seems that Nicola is keeping the baby then ? I am surprised really.

Another enjoyable episode today. Oscar told Anthony the truth about Howie and what happened to Patrick’s money after Patrick was attacked, Anthony then told everyone at the engagement party. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Howie squirm.

I also thought the actor playing Harry was really good today.

Will Kim stay with Howie now , or will he leave ?

I think Howie is leaving with Denzil, but I'm not sure.

Who is more unlikeable, Antnee or Howie? (Antnee I think!)

Won’t Howie tell Zoe about Sophie’s restraining order ?
I haven’t watched it yet, but sounds good !

Howie is slightly more likeable of the two but that’s not saying much. The writing has been consistent with his character as just after he came into the show he stole Vincent’s identity. He’s a classic loser type, dodgy as hell under the surface, needs a woman behind him and is one of the more believable characters in the show.

What about Denises kid, not chelsea? the other one? cant remember her name, Libby? ?

And I think Bradley (Stacey) had a qualification

Johnny isnt evil?

Antnee definitely! Wooden. Boring. I can’t stand him.

They should've brought Paul back from the dead - that wouldve been an actual good casting

He'd have a mixed raced family, a family tiktok account, a range rover and bang on about traditional values and dyslexia 😭

I enjoyed today’s episode. So many great scenes.
Good that the Howie/Antnee stand off is out into the open already, and not dragged on until the Christmas dinner.
Okie’s sister’s showed more personality and credible acting skills in the 2 minutes she was on screen for than we’ve seen from Zoe in 2 months!
Will she become a regular I wonder.
Loved the scene in the square between Penny, Lauren, Zack and Oscar - especially his Marlon Brando’s Godfather impression 😆
My girl crush Chelsea was brilliant - locking Harry in and getting Nicola. Quick thinking, smart and sassy 👌🏻
Billy, Honey with Harry sandwiched in the middle on the sofa, with a blanket and snacks watching Bargain Hunt cracked me up - “Clarence Cliff” 😂
The banter between Ian, ‘E’Laine and Priya was funny too.

THIS is all why I love EE!

It wasn’t a bad episode, but I hope that Kim (or someone ) tells Zoe about Anthony. She probably will fall for his lies that it is Sophie with the problem though.
Love how Kat was saying she couldn’t get her nails done as the salon was shut. Being in London there must be many many other such places with an appointment available at short notice!
The rehearsals were fun. Phil saying that E and Ian were Burton and Taylor was funny.
It’ll Be fun seeing them not acting ( doing it badly on purpose)
It’ll be some light relief at least , although Nigel is getting worse it seems.
Harry is turning into a very good actor. I’m glad that Kojo saw him stealing. Agree Oakies sister was also good too. Very believable

Strange that Antnee is a ‘ part time ‘ GP. That surgery always looks empty.

Nice that we only saw Jean briefly too.
We needed an episode without her around as much.

I found it odd that Penny was asking Antnee about the ring. I’d have done some sleuthing myself tbh.
Or phoned ‘ citi parcels ‘ at least ! I know that he said he had an idea about it , but you’d still try yourself as well. Tracking is on your phone now and so on.
Ask Facebook for ring bell footage or wrong parcel deliveries ! They do round my way

After Monday and Tuesday episodes, the young actress who plays Lily was the typically embarrassed teenager, cringing at Jean's antics. She acts with her facial expression without having to say a word.
I can't get the names Peat-ah and Ant-nee out of my mind !

I feel sorry for Lily. She is coping with loads and nobody to help much.

Only just found
the thread .
I'd been posting lots on the last one ,wondered where it had gone

The pacing is so odd. Storylines drag on and then suddenly - boom. We had forgotten Howie’s existence and suddenly in within a week he’s stolen a ring, got engaged, and all his crimes have been found out. They really overdid the ‘this family has never been happier schtick’. Still, at least Howie is unmasked.

That scene with Kat and Zoe where they both acted like she was walking across the Sahara, rather than 10 yards away to Antnee’s!😂 She’s a 40 year old woman, she doesn’t need to live with her mum.

Imagine having to sit watching Flog It with Billy and Honey, a fate worse than death 😱😆

I liked the scenes with Nigel’s film (except for Whispering Julie). Ian was funny.

Kim loves a party, but I didn’t see her children there unless I missed them both?
Poor Denzil hearing your dad is a wrong un at a party.
At least it wasn’t in the pub ( for a change)
Harrys acting was so good today. Him and Nicola gave upped their game a lot.

Harry is not going to cope when he finds out Teddy is being sentenced.
And Nicola really needs to get a termination. As Harry said, she has no soul!

Hey, there are two Eastenders episodes on Christmas Day !

😀
I agree with shelling that the story pacing is weird.
I hope we find out Zoe’s stalker soon so that can be wrapped.
Kat was no contact for 20 years with her Zo, yet now she is living across the square she is acting as if they had a great relationship for years.! it is odd..

I think Nicola is going ahead isn’t she. She must be past the point that she can terminate the pregnancy?? Although I am guessing.
She seems in denial ?

I did love the rehearsals !
we have Ian and Elaine ( Burton and Taylor)
Push up bra Priya
policeman never at work , Callum
Harvey , who is now a bit part and never seen with Kathy any more.
Whispering Julie and poor Nigel with dementia , bossy Lexi and grumpy Phil !
What can possibly go right ?

Everyone on the Facebook EE pages are fed up with the Zoe storylines.
I am hoping it may ramp up now Antnee is the baddie and maybe it’ll be worth watching.
She may even find ‘ her boy’ eventually! Who knows!
