Ahh, so he confesses and Priya makes him leave I suppose .. maybe Harry will feel worse now a teenager is affected by all this, but he may not join the dots there !
The Irony is , it was Nicola who gave Ravi the details of the drug dealers in the first place last summer time.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 08/01/2026 16:01

Thanks 80s and nowno5 for being nice to me on the other thread - I think I was a bit emotional that day 😪🤷‍♀️ xx

anyway, catching up on this weeks. I am not a fan of Nicola and harry, nor kojo tbh so I have already forgiven handsome ravi 🤷‍♀️

he’s bad but he and priya are turning over a new leaf

poor jean, although it’s sad that she can’t recognise for herself when she is spiralling 🥺

i like honey, and I’m glad that Sam is back

the80sweregreat · 08/01/2026 16:03

I suppose that Ravi will still have to do the informer jobs because his unlikely to get a job after all this. He may even end up in prison with zoe.
Jack and Jack can visit her and Ravi at the same time!

the80sweregreat · 08/01/2026 16:06

No worries mum!
hope your ok.
Yep, I don’t mind Jean , but it’s sad that she gets like this when other times she is so kind ( as she was with Freddie )
She can be selfish though , she hardly mentioned Lily to Alfie today and she has had the short straw throughout ! I do feel sorry for her.

NowNumber5 · 08/01/2026 16:39

Hope you're feeling better this week @mumofoneAloneandwell xx

Oooh it wasn't nice what happened between Ravi and Nugget.
This will devastate Priya when she finds out it was Ravi's doing, and will ultimately be the catalyst of driving her into Max's bed arms!
The interaction between the two of them when Max made a comment about her boots cannot be a random, offhand moment.
It was shown for a reason.
I think Priya is the up-duffed woman we saw in the New Year's fast forward episode.
Baby Ethan is definitely pointing to be a product of Penny and Vinny's ONS/relationship.

murasaki · 08/01/2026 16:42

But then Vinny would have to die too. And surely Suki would fight Jack for the baby.

the80sweregreat · 08/01/2026 16:51

Maybe Suki and Eve have adobted a child by then and can’t adopt Ethan as well ? I am not sure if this wouid be the case for an actual relative, but they may not want a baby around and Jack has volunteered to have him? I can’t think why Jack and Dee have this baby there unless the parents have died or gone off , it didn’t look like a spot of baby sitting , but full on care ( going by Lauren’s comments) but probably a red herring! They did all speak in riddles didn’t they

mumofoneAloneandwell · 08/01/2026 16:52

Oh, all caught up now. I go back and forth with ravi, and now I dislike him again. Poor nugget.

It did make me laugh, Jean trying to rally lily and charli 😂, they were going nowhere. Agree that she’s kinda selfish tbh.

Agree that vinny and penny hook up. Maybe penny and vinny are babysitting jimmy when their house blows up? Maybe at the hands of gangsters associated with ravi?

the two of them die but max rescues jimmy and penny, who dies but the is kept alive long enough for the baby to be born by c section?

the80sweregreat · 08/01/2026 16:57

Whatever the big child rescue is involving a tiny baby and Jimmy ( who may be one by the time it happens)Max is clearly the hero of the hour.
Before the flash forwards on NYE we saw Max looking at the pub , so my guess is that’s where it happens ( as the window was being replaced )
I suppose this will be at Christmas time and then on to the really fun stuff with a double kidnap a few days later on. Max is going to be busy

murasaki · 08/01/2026 16:58

True, but I'm not sure why those two babies, who would be non Slater/Moon adjacent, would be being looked after in the pub.

Iwishihadarivericouldskateawayon · 08/01/2026 16:59

There could be a simple explanation that Jack has Ethan, maybe Penny is living with him as she is struggling, possibly post natal depression. Or maybe Jack is the father, strangely they didn’t show the babies face or ethnicity

the80sweregreat · 08/01/2026 17:00

Maybe they all go to the pub for pre Christmas drinks? Jimmy was in the pub once before with pet ahh and it may be a family do or something?
Although I know it’s a stretch etc

murasaki · 08/01/2026 17:04

It's all a stretch! We put more effort into figuring it out than the writers do into creating it.

the80sweregreat · 08/01/2026 17:05

murasaki · 08/01/2026 17:04

It's all a stretch! We put more effort into figuring it out than the writers do into creating it.

True! I wonder if any writers lurk on these forums for some inspiration 😂

the80sweregreat · 08/01/2026 17:11

I bet Lauren becomes an informer too. It was made to look like an affair, but maybe she is in cahoots with green jacket man. Why I haven’t worked out yet lol
Anyway, we have a new character to dislike today who also moved in with a few more bags than one , but will probably be trouble and stealing money in no time ( or get a job in the mini mart / pub/ launderette)
She’ll give Ollie a few wise words around not being a bully and sort that out.

NowNumber5 · 08/01/2026 17:14

@Iwishihadarivericouldskateawayon
Yes, I said on the previous thread it could be as simple as Baby Ethan being JackandJack's child.

@murasaki @the80sweregreat
Our far fetched theories probably make a lot more sense than some of the stuff we've had to put up with recently! 😂

And writers, if you are reading this can I just say
Thanks for putting us out of our misery by killing off Antnee and giving us a break from misery guts Zoe!
Keep Oscar in please!

the80sweregreat · 08/01/2026 17:20

Yep, keep Oscar in it !
Get Jean better and back to normal. She needs some time to think about her actions ..
Keep Zoe in prison : remand or whatever for a while.
Get Lily some help that is practical.
Maybe Jasmine’s adopted mum can take her back home eventually ( next few weeks)

mumofoneAloneandwell · 08/01/2026 20:00

Fingers crossed for jasmines expulsion!

‘I didn’t mind Anthony in the end, twitter have picked up on his dramatic camp performances and I kinda enjoyed them - the way he exposed howie was funny

Shellingbynight · 08/01/2026 20:03

I've only just watched today's episode.

The Bea stuff is ridiculous and I already can’t stand her.

Harry is a total plank and cannot do anything without mummy helping him.

Interesting they got Nish back to film with Ravi, it was well done.

Nicola, who is a drug dealer herself (and a murderer), really cannot complain about what Ravi did, since not so long ago she was employing him herself to deal drugs. And she is now responsible for Nugget being in intensive care. Apparently they aren’t trying to rehabilitate her at all, which is just as well because there is no universe in which she’s likeable.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 08/01/2026 20:08

have never warmed to nichola or any of those new Mitchell’s, completely the opposite for ravis family being introduced

the80sweregreat · 08/01/2026 20:20

The fact that Nicola started this fire originally will either come back to haunt her , or be airbrushed away.

Alucard55 · 08/01/2026 20:43

I like Ronnie Ancona but this character is very strange.

Shellingbynight · 08/01/2026 21:33

@the80sweregreat yes there is no way of knowing which of those options will happen is there. She looked pretty cosy in the flashforward but I suppose there's still time!

Southeastdweller · 08/01/2026 21:50

I don't think Ronni Ancona is the right fit at all for Bea, but maybe I'm too used to seeing her in comedic roles.

Eastie77Returns · 08/01/2026 22:27

There must be a reason Teddy told Billy to warn George that Nicola is poison and she will destroy him. So I don’t think she will be rehabilitated and will more likely ramp up her Cruella D’Evil side.
