That pit has seen some action, sadly not for fixing anyone’s cars!
Ollie probably missing the cruise already.
Did Linda have to pay a fine or just unregistered the children ? They got back to school ok though
( I know it’s a different world there etc)

Slight prediction by me, but Jean is paranoid about Jasmine ( and previously Zoe )
Maybe the incident with Charli and Lily will make Lily equally paranoid and maybe she’ll have a bi polar episode too? Her mum has had them and without Jean or Stacey around to see what’s happening it may also make Lily spiral too. I hope she doesn’t , but it may happen. She is suspicious of Jasmine and with good reason tbh.
Anyway, the Panesars are back in the storyline loop now. Nugget will hate his dad even more, that’s if he finds out what happened. He may not be aware it was him that beat him up , but I can’t see how that might be the case .. ( hedging bets )

To think that Martin was killed off to be replaced by characters like Bea ! Hopefully she may not hang around too long, but a b and b needs guests and they can’t be too choosy.

I'm sure once Bea has settled in she'll get down to some blackmail or thievery or abduction, Walford is crime central.

Yes.
Once Bea has a fiddle around Phil's knobs and gets her hands into his magic safe, she'll fit right in.
Although it seems she already only lives just around the corner, from what we can gather from Linda and Honey's leisurely stroll.

I was wondering why a boutique hotel was needed in Albert Square, where I imagine the tourist industry is… quiet? But perhaps it is so that they can have more fresh blood turning up without being related to the long-term residents.

Most people would rather eat their own toenails than reconnect with old school chums, so why was Bea even there ?
I can imagine L was a ‘Rizzo ‘ pink lady type with the right clothes and the attitude hanging out with Mick the bad boy ( but not that bad, just a bit naughty!) and bunking off school to go over the park with him ..

Beas address was in E17 and Walford is E16, so strange she hasn’t bumped into Linda before and she was organized enough to change her address on the licence too, so might have been there a little while.
She has rights as a renter , but clearly it’s a bit dodgy if the landlord has told her to clear off already !
Probably owes rent , but that was a bit far fetched.
Is Nugget on dialysis still ? Maybe that will be brought up now his in hospital..

So Harry spends 3 episodes banging on about how he wants revenge, it's not fair, he wants to cave Ravi's head in...blahblahblahblahblah, and then he just leaves the back door open for Ravi to escape??

Righty-oh then 🙄🙄🙄

Now. Yep, I thought the same too about the back door ! ( which I’ve never seen before now )
Maybe he didn’t think that Ravi would get out easily or pass out completely till he came back. He didn’t mean to leave him , he only went with Billy for plot purposes. He should have locked that door though .

80s
I always thought Albert Square/Walford was E20.
Still, Bea's place seems to be located within walking distance (in heels!) for the intrepid Honey and Linda!

Can’t edit, but Walford is E 20 not E 16 and I’m sure Bea’s address said E 17.

Got the wrong E there ! Iol
( unlike Ravi )

😂 80s

I think Harry was so overwhelmed by Billy's chinese takeaway order that he totally forgot about the back door!
Dozen prawn balls
Egg fried rice
Beef in oyster sauce
Chicken chow mein
Prawn crackers
That's easily £40+ around these parts!

Chinese is very expensive here too. Used to be a fairly cheap treat , but lately the local takeaway charges almost a fiver per dish even for rice and other dishes have gone up. We don’t bother ( same for fish and chips , but they do a lunchtime deal )

We had a Chinese on New Years Eve. It’s a treat now and the prices seem to have jumped up each time we have one. £8.40 for a chicken curry! Most dishes were £8+. It wasn’t that good either, we moved to a new area a few months ago and haven’t found one as good as the one we used in our old town.

Good that they kept Nish as a surprise.

Another returnee! Nish was a good baddie.
I do feel sorry for Nugget though. To be put into an induced coma is bad and he has this kidney problem too ( which has been forgotten about , but I assume it’s still a problem for him!
Imagind being beaten up by your own dad high on drugs via Nicola , it is grim.

Dh has just caught up today and Bea’s address was in E17.
( so she will stay another day , living in the house of love)
I think she is a Walter Mitty type. Likes to expand the truth somewhat !
She’ll probably tell Ollie not to bully the other children and she goes out with Max too next week , but I don’t think she’s his type really. Too intense. ( I know that max isn’t usually fussy, but she might think his more interested than he is !)

So did Ravi beat up Nugget thinking he was Nish?

Good to see Nish back though, he was a top villain.

Yep, thinking it was Nish goading him, Ravi actually attacked his own son ;(

Good luck explaining his way out of that one! That might finally be a bridge too far for Priya.

I guess it depends on if Nugget realizes it was Ravi.
He may have a bout of amnesia ( in order to string it out ) or Ravi may try to get him to say it wasn’t him or he may not have known it was his dad.. which is a long very shot , but this is EE ..!
Or, he may just wake up and point at Ravi and go ‘ it was him’ in front of Priya and the police ! Which gets him out of the way on remand in time for max and his irresistible charm to rock up to make her feel better about it all!

One thing we can guarantee is that there won't be any cctv footage.

I read that Ravi comes clean to Priya! But I think it was on Facebook so I'm not sure how reliable it is. I think i read that Ravi has flashbacks and realises what he did. He is with Priya at the time and blurts it out.

I can't imagine Priya standing by Ravi if she learns the truth. That would set her up for Max quite nicely

Intrigued what drugs made ravi immobile, incapacitated, yet simultaneously have capacity to beat up an hallucinated character who is actually a person in real life ?

The new Bea character is looking like another poorly acted character, presumably she’s meant to be a mirror image of honey?
