OMG! Part one ; That wasn’t too bad tbh.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 25/12/2025 20:34

Is Antnee really dead though?

Shellingbynight · 25/12/2025 20:36

I enjoyed most of that.

Great scenes at the Branning's. Drunk Kathy is great value.

And I got my wish, Dr Evil is dead, yay! I thought they were building up to that.
So who dunnit - Jasmine I think.

I expect Cindy is going to shag Santa Claus and then find out who he is.

If we all close our eyes and wish hard enough!

Love Drunk Kathy 😁

Shellingbynight · 25/12/2025 20:42

Antnee is a very big guy. I don't fancy Kat's chances of burying him in a shallow grave.

Southeastdweller · 25/12/2025 20:43

The writing was on the wall a couple of weeks ago for me when I noticed he wasn’t in the published episode summaries from tomorrow until middle of January, then it was pointed out the actor is doing the Christmas Strictly. I don’t know whodunnit but it won’t be Zoe because the current producer is obsessed with the Slaters so I can’t see her leaving soon.

the80sweregreat · 25/12/2025 20:47

They always talk themselves into why they are horrible don’t they ! Chrissie today
‘ no, I didn’t come back for the money at all, but because Zoe is a bad woman ‘ .. etc etc ( paraphrasing)

the80sweregreat · 25/12/2025 20:56

Honestly though ..
Max disappears for years , then he wonders why ex’s move on and nobody bothers to tell him his a dad. Why? Because you are never around !
what a tool starting fights in front of his grandkids and so on.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/12/2025 21:35

Cindy wandering along with all those present bags "Where am I going to stay" ?

Hmmm. the Boutique Hotel now that Max has been thrown out
Upstairs in the Albert there's a small flat ( Lewis stayed there ) she owns it so she can live there even temporary .

Did Kat go and check Antnee's pulses before checking Zoe ? Otherwise how does she know he's dead ?

"Louis , take Raymond upstairs to play "

Louis is probably thinking "No bloody way - , I want to see this kick off " !

GoneWoman · 25/12/2025 22:12

God this is dire....

NowNumber5 · 25/12/2025 22:18

Is this a joke?

the80sweregreat · 25/12/2025 22:20

It wasn’t bad as I thought it would be really.
Maybe I am easily pleased, although I think I would check on Antnee before dealing with evil Chrissie!

cabsavtonight · 25/12/2025 22:22

I enjoyed it , Sam , Christie and kat were great and even Zoe and jasmine were passable

lazymum99 · 25/12/2025 22:23

Boring and ridiculous with the food prep stuff.
I would say one of the worst Xmas EE live seen

the80sweregreat · 25/12/2025 22:23

How does Cindy not know max branning ?
Im glad that Zoe did the right thing though.
At least she’s taken some responsibility at last.

Shellingbynight · 25/12/2025 22:24

It could have been worse. At least Antnee is dead. Zoe obviously didn't do it and I don't even see how she could be charged, presumably Michelle R will go on her holidays and then return. I assume it was Jasmine, let's hope so as then that gets rid of both her and 'dad'. (And the entire last 4 months would be completely pointless.)

Getting Chrissie in the Vic with Zoe and Sam felt very forced.

Shellingbynight · 25/12/2025 22:25

80s Cindy was dead being Rose when Max returned. She's never met him.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/12/2025 22:26

Sooooooo

Cindy has NO idea who Max is ? I know she was away ( Dead Not Dead) but surely Lauren would have a photo somewhere of her father .

Why would they just leave the pub unlocked when they're running about like Blue Arsed Flies . There is £1000s of stock there and the till . Why just the power cut downstairs and the tree lights still on ( unless the Pub/Kitchen has a different electricity circuit )

At least though they didn't go back and Duh Duh Duh No Body !! That would've been the cheapest , cheati-est Duff Duff .

the80sweregreat · 25/12/2025 22:28

It was all forced, but at least evil Chrissie will go off again and it should be the end of it all .. well, apart from the funeral of Antnee and Yolande and Partick being upset and maybe some fall out there ? At least Jean wasn’t annoying today and Zac’s yorkshires survived the electrics being turned off!

lazymum99 · 25/12/2025 22:28

Thats what they did with Vincent’s mum in the basement years ago

the80sweregreat · 25/12/2025 22:31

No, Max and Cindy meet up again .. at jimmy’s christening apparently! Oh dearie me.
No, they never met, but I still can’t believe that she isn’t aware of him at least ! …agree that she must have seen a photo of her grandkids other granddad somewhere ( Facebook , insta ?) I mean .. it’s not the 80s anymore !

NowNumber5 · 25/12/2025 22:31

I honestly kept thinking Angry Ant would get up and come downstairs when Kat left Zoe to get Alfie!
The Vic is really creepy, but considering the many murders and "incidences" that have occurred in there I'm not surprised.
Again, where were Bert n Ernie and Tommy when all that Antnee malarkey was going on?!!

Shellingbynight · 25/12/2025 22:31

70 You would think Cindy would have encountered a photo of Max on Lauren's social media. Conveniently not, so she can now shag the man who shagged her teenage daughter.🤮

the80sweregreat · 25/12/2025 22:33

Anyways.. it wasn’t awful. It was far fetched and the producers wet dream of having those three back in the pub .. but . It could have been worse !
Unless Kat does try to bury him., but that won’t happen now. At least it’s not another Ken..
