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:

Vicki’s arm ! All forgotten about and yes, she is now fine.
She was ok about Chelsea interfering with Ross coming round the other night , I thought she may kick off about that. What’s it to do with new bff Chelsea anyway ?

Don't you just hate the scenes where one character takes the others hand, no words spoken and just leads them upstairs. It made me cringe seeing zoe do that to Antnee today 🙄

Antnee took so long standing at the bottom of the stairs, I wondered if he'd changed his mind!

Cindy had an op on her elbow, she must be in pain and have that sling on for six weeks if not more and then physio ! although I know this is EE land where people heal up very quickly and move on.

Alfie had a brain tumor once. That was operated on privately via a lottery win and forgotten about.
They do heal up remarkably well, must be the water !

I wondered if he’d forgotten his lines! He didn’t utter a word in the entire scene.

Antnee is creepy ! Not sure what she sees in him tbh.

Gosh Bobby Brazier is just phoning it in isn't he. His acting has been more atrocious than usual in the last couple of episodes, he sounded and looked completely emotionless, miserable and flat when he said he'd go travelling with Anna - the supposed love of his life. And when he said he had savings to go travelling with...from where? He doesn't work.

Hate the way they are setting up Chelsea and dull Vicky as BFFs. Chelsea can do better! Is Vicky an alcoholic? She seems to drink day and night. Constantly necking whiskey in the bar/pub and then goes home and opens up bottles of wine.

They like to marry up unlikely friends.
Chelsea and miserable Vicki, apparently Zoe and Lauren become closer next week too. They never have friends that don’t live close by do they !

Dunno how Vicky can afford all these drinks in the bar with London prices for a glass of wine. She owes Sharon money and works ( occasionally ) in a cafe for minimum wage.

Isn’t she a qualified accountant?

Vicki is an accountant, but she works in the cafe now. Not sure why, didn’t Suki employ her once? Or was it Sharon ? I can’t remember, or why she isn’t accounting now!

The acting is atrocious now. Why is Ant-nee acting creepy.

So Antknee is stalking Zo? Urgh, he gives me the creeps. He’s giving Reece vibes.

Is Jasmine his kid? Was Jasmine’s mum also Antknee’s estranged wife (she was posh and warned against Jasmine’s dad, so it adds up). This is all getting a bit convoluted, to be honest. Please don’t drag it out until Christmas!

Why has nobody pointed out that Vicky is a complete pisshead? Always cracking open the wine or ‘going for one drink’ daaahn the pub. I think Zac was actually a bit jealous of Ross getting back with Vick in that scene in the bar when he said he was pleased for them. Zac…mmmm, he is very easy on the eye, isn’t he?

Where have Nic & sons gone? The Jumpers-in-jail storyline seems to have fizzled out quickly.

Storylines have departed from any semblance of reality.

It'll be cartel activity in the market next.

I'd forgotten about reece already 😄

😆

A lot of recycling of fantastical storylines going on, too! There always has to be someone wrongly banged up, a psycho stalker/kidnapper on the loose, and at least one person in hospital after being violently assaulted at any one time.

I was surprised Jack wasn’t at Cindy’s bedside conducting a rogue investigation into the attack on his nephew’s potential gangster girlfriend. When are they going to have a ‘The Met Police kick Jack out of the force for being a ‘bad apple’ storyline?

Hopping into this thread for the first time in ages to ask something that has been annoying me and probably been asked before but...why does Freddie call Jean 'Nan'?? She's not his Nan - she was married to his Mum's Uncle ('Aunty' would make more sense). Makes me twitch every time he says it 😄

@NoisyBrain I may be wrong but I think he asked if he could call her Nan as they get on so well.

@StupidHappyClocks no, it would only 'work' if Antnee and Zoe are Jasmine's parents, and A and J know that already (somehow. god knows how). Otherwise, no reason for Antnee to be stalking Zoe. J's mum who appeared this week would be the adoptive mother.

Of course Jasmine could search for her birth parents, but I can't see how she would find either Antnee or Zoe. But this is EE and it barely makes any sense whichever way you think about it.

Antnee was talking to someone on the phone once.
Was it Jasmine? Woman pretending to be jasmines mum? His wife? Zoe’s son? Who knows ?!

I think it was suggested on thread at the time that Antnee was talking on the phone to his wife. He said something like “if dad calls you, don’t pick up”. I speculated it was Paul but obvs can’t be since Patrick would not call his dead (but possibly not dead dead..) son.

No-one is commenting on the fact Antnee has just abandoned his kids and started working as a local GP without a second thought.

I don’t think Jasmine is a Ford. Surely Cindy’s handler would have arranged round the clock protection at the hospital if she thought that was credible. Loved the fact Jasmine was just able to wonder into Cindy’s room in the middle of the night (visiting hours anyone?) and why is no-one from the square ever on a general ward when they go to hospital! Everyone gets a private room, even with minor injuries.

Anyone think Ian and Elaine might become an item? I’d like to see it.

@cramptramp Are they related? If not, then it’s not going to happen, this being EE 😁

Ahh, it was Antnee’s wife on the phone.
After today., it is definitely not him with the stalking is it! Far too easy. I know that Zoe has spurned him , but I do feel it’s all a red herring and probably Lily ! ( I have been through all of them, but she isn’t around much and that’s usually a clue. I did think Fred too)
Poor Kim , but maybe Howie left the phone going, on purpose ? I’m not sure , but he is dodgy and belongs in jail.
Cindy and Ian are funny together, but at least they are talking now.
