Do you mean Bea has a teenager? I doubt that. I think she’s tried relationships in the past but hasn’t settled down. Would surprise me if she has a kid.

Just thinking what else they will do with her

So when max was with Tanya and the kids on the square in the house that Jack owned ,
Which house is that now ..who lives in it ..
Just watching old episodes and I can't work it out

@Springswallow that is No. 5 Albert Square, which is now the knocking shop Peacock Palace.

I think Bea is a one-note wonder, she is in for a storyline to annoy Linda and Honey, her behaviour will make everything implode and she'll hopefully be gone by Easter.

Is that the first time we’ve seen Phil’s bathroom?

A wallpapered bathroom ! It wasn’t terrible wallpaper, but you usually see tiles.

Nice bath though.

Oh
So I wonder max didn't say he used to live there with Tanya and the girls

Mark is unbearable.

Priya is really beautiful even with no makeup.

I can’t stand any more of the Bea nonsense, I fast forward her scenes. I think it’s partly Ronni Ancona’s acting - it is just so forced.

The ceremony was too late for Nigel and mostly made him uncomfortable, I hope that was not the last day of his life as he’d have had a better time watching a film with Phil. At least he got back ‘home’ though.

Are supposed to think Kat designed that bathroom? Because it wasn’t Phil!

Good speech from Honey about her job today , although she did hit send by mistake! So partly her fault.
Who was serving there today though ? ..
Nugget has an epileptic fit ( think it’s next week ?)
Poor thing has been through the mill with his health and he is only 16 !

Poor Nugget. That will be a consequence of his head injury.

Haven’t watched in ages but I see that they’re going down the path I thought, of Bea being a psycho

ridiculous how harmful this is to bullying survivors. Reiss is another one who was seemingly autistic but actually made into a psycho.

and Stella was a bullying survivor.

just harmful tropes that we should be done with in 2026 🥺🥺

I find it quite emotional today, not sure if it’s hormonal but it felt very well done all round?

I had a tear today too. Especially when they played ‘ it must be love ‘
Dementia is such a cruel disease :(
I did laugh when Nicola said to Kim ‘ it’s not the 02’ ! She is good at the one liners.

I was watching an old episode today and Max was ducking and diving , bobbing and weaving !
Still intrigued as to how he gets to know tight t shirt Mark jnr and what happens with him. So far he seems to have cash, but no sign of a job and or his own home.

Is it just me, but does Mark Jr's head look far too small for his hulking body? Or is it the other way around and his muscles are too big for his head?

Mark jnr is certainly too big for his boots sometimes!
His not bad looking , so I don’t mind the vacant look or the menacing one he tries on Phil ! Luckily Phil isn’t one to be bossed around by any young bucks !

I don't think that will be the end of Nigel I know it needs to be realistic regarding dementia but drowning in a bath would be very dark.

What's with this Bea character RA is acting like she's doing a sketch show.

Looking at spoilers for the next two weeks, Nigel isn't mentioned at all and neither is Julie. Only one mention for Phil and that's next week - he's "feeling the strain'.

Jasmine is back on the 17th 😞

Oh no ! 😟 not Jasmine :(

Nooo! Well I hope there's no Jasmine/Zoe scenes.

That is bad news (Jasmine being back)

@Alucard yes I agree, RA seems to think she's in a sketch show. I don't know why she was chosen, then again ... Jasmine. She is no worse, just different!

Mark is a strange case. He is very like Grant. But Grant seems such an old fashioned character now, so it doesn't really work to have a young guy behaving like that.

So was Nigel trying to drown himself? Because he didn't just doze off and slip into the water, it was deliberate. But I don't believe he now has enough cognitive powers to decide to drown himself. So I have no idea what they are aiming at.

Nicola is a fab character. I preferred her original haircut from when she first joined. I actually’like’ the whole family as characters. Barney made me cry yesterday, he’s such a lovely young man and imagine the horror of realising that your loving family is potentially capable of such heinous crimes

I believe that he has fluctuating capacity which is entirely possible and perhaps in his lucid moment he might have decided to take his leave in a happier safe moment.
its also very common for people to present as at their happiest and most relaxed before they take their lives.
