A murder mystery is a good idea! Lots to work with there.
Max needs to ramp up his womanizer skills as there are four possible brides and so far his only really connected with two of them !

Stacey could return.

But when there's a London borough with an apparent CCTV blackout, anything is possible.

You mean for Louie to take the photo?

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 19:32

I wonder if Stacey may return. I’d like Sharon to come back as well. She would have told Vicky and Zack their fortunes. She’s been there and got the leggings.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 17/04/2026 19:25

I still don’t buy that a 10 year old would take the photo, send it with a message and demand that cash. My nephew who’s almost 8 has no idea of the value of money!

Unless Cindy’s been training Louie up.

Yes there's obviously that aswell, also how did he get Vicky's number? How was he suddenly alone to take the pic? Every single part of this can be picked apart.

Louie does seem manipulative, especially with the bullying storyline. I can imagine him taking the photo and being unkind, but possibly in a more childish way than this

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 19:36

Louie overheard his Gran slagging someone off and mentioning blackmail and decided to act on the spur of the moment.
All complete nonsense. Plus , how did he get hold of Vicki’s phone number or details to send it on to her?
Maybe via Cindy again ? He was a busy boy wasnt he!

It’s all complete nonsense. Can’t believe they thought we would fall for it. Who writes these scripts?!

Yeah does not add up. Some does but not all. And he’s hardly brain of Britain is he?

You mean Sharon like a fortune teller?!

The actress Lacey Turner had had a baby I think, so maybe she’s taken a year out unpaid, or longer? Maybe she’s as fed up of the storylines as we are.

Wonder why the actress who plays Dee is still there? She’s a trained actress, done Shakespeare and everything. Guess it’s an easy gig.

Claim to fame. My hairdresser used to do Lola’s hair, she’s from near there (Lewisham or Sydenham I think). Apparently she’s lovely. This was before she went on EE. I liked Lola.

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 20:01

It’s just a saying ‘ tell their fortunes ‘ means tell them off. A bit like Ian did with Vicky and Zack.

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 20:03

Denise is like Phil , both RADA trained and it shows.
I also liked Lola. She’s been on quiz shows and seems lovely and kind.

Oh is Phil rada trained? Never knew that. Family friend’s DD went there. Now a technician in a college after working in film and tv for yonks. Not glamourous at all. Despite what some may think. Long hours no sick pay etc.

Oh that’s nice re Lola. She should get more acting work. Wish she’d stayed.

Money, I would guess. Quite a few actors in the show have formal training - the actors who play Harvey, Ravi, Zach, Kat, Grant, Eve.

She had her baby over a year ago, it was born just before she was in the live episode when Martin died. It was implied when her departure was announced that she’d be welcomed back when she felt she wanted to return so there was no timescale given.

An ok thanks for clarifying! I just recall seeing her pregnant on screen.

Yeah regular pay check. Sell out. And I like the actress.

Are they all RADA or LAMDA or other or just stage school?

My mum was a drama teacher when younger and trained under the great Anna Scher. She taught Martin and Gary Kemp amongst others, Anna that is.

So basically extended leave.

Even Jasmine has been to a stage school. Albeit run by her mum.

Not a very good one obviously!

Shellingbynight · 18/04/2026 08:32

C'mon, Louie lives with Cindy. He will know all sorts of tricks. 😂

Him being the blackmailer isn’t really believable (mainly because of the way it was filmed) but it is more believable than Zack thinking Vicki is a irresistible siren. And more believable than the entire Jasmine storyline.

Ross Kemp was on the One Show this week talking about his return next week. I am a bit confused because Nigel is allegedly currently dying of pneumonia, but the location filming with Phil and Grant shows him running around on a beach looking very healthyConfused

Fingers crossed Grant has £100k in his back pocket for Mark.

Could this be a Dream Sequence like when Angie came back to talk to Sharon in the live episode
Are we going to have a "Nigel's Last Trip" where he'll go with Phil'n'Grant in the RangeRover down to the beach , with a picnic . It'll be sunny , and the beach will be deserted . They'll stride about in bare feet with their trousers rolled up , then we'll see Nigel standing in the water looking at the horizon while Phil and Grant eat an ice cream cone .

Then Grant will say "C'mon Nige, we need to go now " ..............

Then we'll cut to the inside of the car , Grant will gently shake Nigel's shoulder "C'mon Nige ........Nige" and we'll discover he's died in the car and dreamed the whole thing .

(That car will be on Max Brannings ForeCourt as quick as Phil can find the LogBook )

I bet Louie will be like Oliver Twist now. Pickpocketing soon. 🤣

Wonder if Dickens is where scriptwriters get inspiration from?

I miss Nick Cotton! He really was evil. Sitting in his mum’s chair frightening his mum by surprising her and saying “Hello ma!”. Good actor John Altman.
