Surely once the drill comes out they'll all wake up.

But logic and plot reasons don't go hand in hand.

Yep, he’ll start the drill up and wake everyone up.
I hope Ravi can recover , but no doubt Nugget will discover he beat him up and caused the epilepsy and it’ll all unravel again. I do feel sorry for Nugget.

TBF I don't think Ravi and logic go hand in hand at the moment. I don't think they are doing a bad job of his breakdown.
The car lot stuff is shite! Why was Alfie so not bothered?

I suppose Alfie thought that Lauren would see the cars first ! She is a bit of a liability isn’t she.

Why isn’t Lexi going to school ? It’s nice she wants to see Nigel , but she should be going in and Phil doesn’t help as he just appeases her.

The way they write Alfie now is bizarre, he just says whatever suits the storyline without really being in character. First the way he was defending Jasmine to Kat the other week, now he's droning on about ex cons selling vintage cars.

80s I can't quite remember the history now but I don't think it's that Lexi doesn't want to go to school, I think she just thinks Nigel might die without her being there?

Alfie has always been a bit of a flaky one hasnt he.
Lauren should have realized it was a con , but she is inexperienced and not thinking straight.
They delivered it quickly didn’t they ! This guy can’t be too far away !

Ahh, makes sense re Lexi ! I hope they can sort it out.

I did like Julie’s pragmatic approach to his recent illness. I Hope Phil goes to visit him soon though , he should go along.

Ravi looks like he has aged 10 years, the actor is really throwing himself into this storyline. I noticed Priya was asleep at the start of tonight's episode with lip gloss on !

The storylines are dire, I just can't watch it anymore.
Who in their right mind would pay ££££'s for a car fit for the scrap heap?
I don't feel sorry for Ravi, although the actor is doing a good job.
Nigel is outstanding, he is one of the better actors, and is doing a better job laying in a bed, than most of the cast have done all year round the square.
They could really do well with the school refusal storyline, but I highly doubt they will, and Lexi will be back in school next week.
I'm not sure why all the residents of Albert Square feel it's appropriate to take their borrowed kids (Callum,Lexi) and grandkids (Ian,Louis,Kat,Jasmine) to visit Nigel on his death bed

They need to address Lexi’s concerns and problems with school. They can take her each evening to see Nigel. They can’t let her just be off for ages.
I know it’s hard.

Nigel dies next week:

Oh no! That’s sad. I like Nigel 😢

Thanks South, I thought he must die shortly as Grant is back this week.

At least the photo looks like he dies in the care home. When Julie started saying they wanted to send him to hospital for intravenous antibiotics I thought nooooo please don’t. Awful place for a dementia patient.

I thought the same thing, he should not be sent to hospital. They have done this storyline quite well so I hope they explain why it is not a good idea.

The actor who does Ravi is playing an absolute blinder. Wow!

Poor Nige. I also hope they look after Lexi with school refusal/losing him etc.

Yes, he's fantastic. Poor Nugget. Well all of them, really. I thought Suki might be more proactive given Priya had opened up to her.

I thought that about Suki but then I realised she's paid for the therapy he is having today.

Therapy isn't going to be that useful though because he can hardly open up to the therapist about his problems being due to being an ex drug lord turned police informer, accidentally beating up his own son, and killing both his fathers...

Mo is 90 next week and has a birthday party. Laila Morse looks nowhere near that age!

Yes, that'd be an unusual day at the office for the therapist.

So, Mo is Kat's mum's mum and Kat is 56 (thanks Wiki). Meaning she was only 34 when she became a grandma. Younger than Stacey!
