Poor Kim’s kids were shoved back in the kiddy cupboard, along with Chelsea’s son and Raymond, who we never see!

I can’t decide who I dislike more / care about less - thieving little toerag Howie or creepy stalking Doc Antknee.

Nigel’s film will at least bring a bit of Christmas cheer and a few laughs, I hope, although it’s a bloody silly storyline.

Priya seems remarkably cheerful for someone who just discovered her bloke is running a county lines drug operation.
And Eeee-Laine has already got the B&B running itself like every other business on the square, as she has seemingly all the time in the world to piss about on pub quizzes and amateur dramatics.

Why has Penny’s mum sent her a diamond engagement ring for Christmas? And by Royal Mail? Brave move.

I definitely dislike Anthony more but I'm glad he spat the truth out about Howie straight away, even if it was out of jealousy/spite!

Must agree about the ring business. Doesn't make any sense whatsoever - just like most of the storylines on EE atm 🙄

I thought that episode really showed up how poor an actor Howie is. Almost as bad as Antnee.

Jordan isn’t very old is he, yet Chelsea never mentions him.
I thought that Penny had bought the ring for her mum, but having it sent to her first ( for some reason) ! I am wrong, but I admit I zone out sometimes with the plot lines!

Elaine did buy a lampshade for her boutique b and b, yet we haven’t seen the place and she isn’t ever near it.
Haven’t seen any workmen around or any kind of sign that anything has been going on.
Maybe the invisible children are already living there in the cupboards.

I really can't stand Vicki ...I think it's bad casting ,she looks nothing like the Vicki that dated Spencer.. thank goodness they nipped in the bud anything developing with Zac ..she is definitely not zacs type
It's almost like the early Vicki and current Vicki are two different people..🙄..
Like Michelle Fowler ..they brought back someone who looked nothing like earlier Michelle..winds me up ..
Zoe is starting to grow on me a bit ,I feel she's getting in to her stride ,with the acting now ..she's warming up ..
It's definitely improving over all .. looking forward to the Christmas storylines..showing promise...

Read online that Jasmine returns from the 16th and there is a big fire at Dots place.

It was inevitable she was only gone briefly.

That's also the date Max returns (and Linda).
Nothing happens for weeks and then suddenly we get three months of plot in a week!

Seems many are back now ! I don’t think Sam is in it long ( so I’ve heard) but max and Linda must be back for longer. Max definitely must be.
I was a tad confused by Kim’s flip flopping around Howie today.
I suppose that by trying to blame her sent her over the edge a bit ( understandable) but she didn’t acknowledge the pressure he was under for her.
Im glad she decided against staying with him though. Partick couldn’t bear to look at him each day.
Zoe becoming close to Lauren is nice. She could go with a friend that isn’t Antnee. I don’t mind Lauren tbh, but she can be annoying. Not as annoying as Pet ah though

What on earth is Nigel’s film about ?
A grumpy wig wearing phil with a baseball bat.
Elaine and Ian like two old 70s sitcom couple.
What will the others do ?

Kim realised that underneath the cuddly guy persona, Howie is someone not to be trusted because that’s who he is and related to this I liked they referenced the Vincent thing. He’s such a loser.

South. Yes, Kim said about Vincent’s ID today. Maybe remembering this made her realize that he’ll never change. It is sad , they seemed genuinely happy together. I guess she’ll be miserable Kim over Christmas now ;(

They were only 'happy' because Howie was weak and criminally minded and did whatever she demanded. If he had not been able to provide the material things she wanted (by stealing) she would have kicked him out anyway.

The trouble with Zoe is the constant "find my boy" coupled with the "oh X I knew it was you", "oh Y I knew it was you", "oh Z I knew it was you"

Shelling, you are right! Kim is high maintenance and wants the best in life. He shouldn’t have stolen things or blackmailed Oscar.
She will have to work in the salon for longer now !

Kim doing some work other than talking into her phone would be a sight to behold!😆

Oh well, another relationship bites the dust. Of
Course Partick will believe Antnee that it’s Sophie’s fault he chat see his children.
I hope that he doesn’t hurt Zoe , but I’ve a feeling he may well do.

I always thought her and Howie were an implausible match because he could never support her financially and materially the way Vincent did.

Loved Phil in today’s episode. I’m enjoying the Nigel’s film storyline.

Enjoyed today's episode.
Angry Old Man Phil was hilarious with his BoJo wig 😆
We need Nigel to start writing the EE scripts, they might make more sense!

Lillia Turner as Lily is brilliant, she's a great actress and so easily believable as Stacey's daughter... but I'm still wondering if she is behind the stalking (getting back at Zoe for Stacey absconding to Brazil)

Also love how each house is decorated for Christmas.
The Slaters have the bright garish colours.
The Nu Mitchells are more understated but still tinsel a go-go!
Lauren's and Phil's houses are still decoration free so obviously not succumbed yet.

Okie's sister is nice, hope she stays on. Deija is her name - thanks google!

Sam's back 🙌 and looking fabulous, she does dress well.

Sam always dresses well, a bit like Chelsea.
Nice to see her back though. I did like her character and friendship with Zack too.
Phil was funny , I hope he makes them laugh although this film seems a bit dark !
Deija was good. She does make Zoe look like an amateur and Antnee is very wooden sometimes.
After this fire, Oscar will end up in hospital. Max returns the same day.
I don’t think it’s Lily now : I did think this before, but she is outraged at her Nan and the die lights and now I can’t see it being her.
No idea who is behind it though ..

It's a shame Sam is only back for a few weeks.

I found that episode a bit of a trudge. There was no jeopardy about Kim staying with Howie, never going to happen. The whole point of the storyline was to split them up. Patrick gave up his questioning of Dr Evil very quickly, didn't seem interested in what Sophie actually said. Someone could always ring Sophie and ask!

Yolande is looking really lovely.

Harry must have had the second-most screentime in the last three months (Zoe is first of course). Nicola needs to get on with having a termination as she must be near the limit now.

Next week Nicola tells George that he is going to be a dad. Maybe he’ll ask her to terminate ?
Surely he won’t want a relationship with her or the baby. She seems in limbo , but she must know about the time limits for this procedure?
Honey seems more worried about it than she is.

Harry is playing his part well. I do feel a bit sorry for him, jobless, an addict and now stealing money.
Kojo should warn Phil, he’ll be after his safe money next! I think Sam has a go at that too next week.
