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:

Oh yes, Mark runs the boxing gym now . Occasionally.
Apparently Alfie gives Lauren the name of a person who sells on vintage cars, so she will get into that. All sounds a bit dodgy..
Does Cindy still run the Albert ? She’s never there. In fact hardly any of them seem to work much lately.
The interior of Knight Fusion doesn’t look much different to the old burger restaurant that Ravi had, but more expensive!

I think George’s restaurant is meant to serve a fusion of Ghanaian and some other type of food. Which is interesting considering George had no clue about his heritage and Ghanaian food before he met his brothers. Plus told Zack he cannot afford a proper chef and is employing a young person who is presumably not very experienced. So who is coming up with the menu etc?

Eastie, details details ! lol
At least Ravi gave Zac a trial run and he was doing the posh burgers ( once) but for a special fusion restaurant surely you’d need a chef and a team who know what they are doing especially if you want a different crowd to the likes of Ian and Billy and he owes Nicola money as well. He’ll go the way of Ravi if he isn’t careful.

Yeah, it’s mad even by EE standards that you’d launch a brand new restaurant without any qualified staff!

Can't believe the cheek of Bea trying to return the dress after she wore it already 😳

Absolutely hilarious this flash mob of Ross and the others 🤣

I’d hate a ‘ flash mob’ personally ! Howie was good, very jazz hands. I mean they all have the time from work to do all this don’t they. No bills to pay ! Lol
They mentioned that the wedding is on Vicki’s 40th , so in may , if they get that far.

Penny gave Bea a ‘ Paddington stare’ there with the dress! Loved it. She is shameless.

So they have ruled out most blackmail suspects. I hope it is Bea rather than Sam but those are the only two left I think.

I loved Oscar's quiz, the Brannings are very good together. Apart from that.... zzzz...

I reckon Bea is the blackmailer..

I'm with you. I also suspect that she somehow got the video of Nugget's seizure from Will's phone and uploaded it. Will seems to be quite trusting of her.

Is Bea going to be responsible for every crime committed in Walford this year 😆

Speaking of which, why was she so agitated about the amount owed on the credit card. She's still well below the credit limit and she only has to make a minimum payment, surely even she has £40.

The blackmailer is revealed in today's episode, it's not Bea, but I won't spoil it for anyone, as it is someone that has not been named. Don't get too excited though.

Honey mentions to Billy that she has offered to loan Bea some money for a deposit. It's just madness as Bea doesn't need a deposit amount for the credit card, so is she planning on taking the deposit money and spending it?

Not seen it today , but is Honey offering Bea a deposit for the flat she mentioned yesterday?
Which we all know is just made up rubbish! You also need a guarantor as well which she’ll find hard to get ( even if it was all true)

It's the ease that they all have of handing over money to people they don't really know.

Shelling , most people would just pay the minimum payment and cut up the card. She could get some more shifts at work and ( possibly) keep this going for a while whilst keeping an eye on the post ! Most people would be found out eventually ( by Honey opening up the post at some stage ) but she has told Honey she is moving now , so she’s dug an even bigger hole for herself when she could have found ways around it in the short term.

If I remember the credit card was connected to Honey’s bank account. If she has mobile banking I think it shows up on there automatically. it does with mine.

The card should show up in Honey’s online account if it was issued by her bank but everyone over the age of 21 is IT illiterate on EE so she probably doesn’t bank online.

With her income it will likely be one of those high APR cards specifically aimed at low earners so might not be from the bank.

What happened to all the money Billy’s dad gave him before he left. He stole Phil’s car to give the money to Billy and I seem to remember it was quite a lot.

@Anyonecanfallinlove oh god it's going to be one of the kids isn't it.

If the credit card was connected to Honey's bank account she would know about it by now. Bea must have used her own info (email, mobile number etc) with the only connection to Honey being her name and address.

I guess Bea wants the 'deposit' money to pay off the entirety of the credit card? No idea why. You'd pay the minimum and keep it going as long as possible.

How has Honey got that kind of cash to lend Bea anyway, when she couldn't pay for her own menopause consultation?

I had forgotten about the money from Billy’s dad.
Honey may not have a banking app , but she has a credit card as she mentioned it yesterday and thought the bill was only junk mail.
Maybe she just has one for emergencies and doesn’t ever use it, but most people open mail up even if it’s junk.

Money is always a mystery. They couldn’t afford things for Will , yet Honey bought the dress and went to the restaurant. Even without Bea doing all this, it’s still a mystery how they survive and seem to spend on frivolous things such as the meal out. No wonder they were pleased when Bea paid for it thinking it was all above board.

The inconsistencies today with filming and around Ross and Vicki was just too much!

Did Ross not wonder where Vicki was all the time she was back at home dealing with the blackmailer? She said she would be back for the food so he was to order

I was pleasantly surprised today for a change - I didn’t expect the blackmailer to be Louis, although it’s a stretch that a ten year old could compose that message and be motivated to blackmail.

Louis is heading for the same fate as Joel, with hopefully a longer sentence, he is horrid
