I’m sure that Jaq will go down the whole filler/ Botox route I bet. Most celebs can’t seem to avoid it , the pressure to look good must be huge for them all. She is turning into a good little actress though , funny and actually believable. She seems to like being with Max.

I also want Linda and Phil to fall in love and live happy ever after.

Aww! That would be nice.

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2026 17:13

Denise didn’t look well. She is found asleep at work next week. I hope it’s nothing bad.

Shellingbynight · 30/04/2026 17:25

I wonder what is wrong with Denise. It can't be cancer, they have just had a cancer storyline with Sam. Vitamin D deficiency? It wouldn't be much of a storyline but neither was Honey's quickly cured peri-menopause.

I doubt it, I really think she would have fallen into it already by now x

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2026 17:37

I hope Dee hasn’t got cancer. Sam has been given the all clear only recently and we’ve had Nigel dying. I can’t think what it can be though , but vitamin deficiency can make you tired and washed out.
I wonder if Nigel’s photo will be on display with Lola’s one, which we haven’t seen in a while. Unless I’ve missed it.
Oscar was funny today as well. He is amusing.

GoldMoon · 30/04/2026 17:57

Heres a pairing for you - Grant & Vicky ! They've already done a mum & daughter with Kat & Zoe and Anthony , so why not go for Vicky & Michelle with Grant ?

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2026 18:01

I don’t think that Grant is hanging around, but Grant could win Vicky’s heart maybe ? Might be like him and Chelle , hated each other for years then one night they decided they didn’t.
I wish Sharon was around to see the Mitchell’s reunited. I do miss her , I hope she returns one day.

Yes of course, Linda's connection is with Phil.

South, we know Spencer is returning don't we? So if Ross and Joel exit, he can fight Zack for Vicki😆

I'd forgotten he was coming back. I agree there'll probably be another love triangle story - Vicky is so charismatic and alluring, isn't she, so it's perfectly credible to have all these men fighting over her. Makes complete sense.

Oh, wait...this is EE.

Has anyone seen this reel? It’s so good. I’d forgotten what Julie used to look like.

That was a nice reel.

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2026 18:41

Yes , the Nigel reel was lovely. He adored Debbie and Clare. He was a good egg.

ambercoast · 30/04/2026 19:20

Aw well done Phil, an armchair on fire and The Jam 😘

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2026 19:29

They all left the armchair to rot ! Lol
love The jam , Paul Weller is one of my idols.
I Hope Phil will be ok. He will take it hard I think

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2026 19:31

I admit I’ll be in bits when Phil leaves or dies or whatever! Such an iconic character so well played.
Hopefully not for ages yet

I know they’ve done it before.. but she could just be pregnant 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe Ethan is theirs and maybe she didn’t want to keep him due to age, maybe that’s why she stormed out in the flash forward?

Whoever Ethan’s mum is should be pregnant now.

the80sweregreat · 30/04/2026 20:39

Denise pregnant! It might be that, but I don’t know. It feels lazy writing. She didn’t want Raymond , I doubt she’ll want another one.

MyWildOliveGoose · 30/04/2026 20:53

Yea but some of the recent writing has been lazy.

Although, I’ve just rewatched the flash forward, we don’t actually see Denise at all in it although she’s talked about loads. She stormed out on Jack during an argument at the beginning, and then when Patrick and Libby go looking for her she’s gone again - left her phone and it’s ringing, I’ve said from the beginning I think it’s Lucas calling her.

If I were to hazard a guess, I’d say Chelsea may be the bride, as she was the only one who looked stressed whilst getting ready.. and she was mentioned in the chaos of the wedding at the vic but really didn’t have any reason to be, unless she’s the bride.

What I can say confidently is.. the bride is not Cindy. Cindy looked angry, bitter even, when getting ready and when Ian was practicing his speech he said bride no. 5 looked “hot” - I don’t believe he would say that about Cindy lol.

I still think the pregnant woman is Priya 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t know why, I just do.

Wild Thursday night over here 😂

lazymum99 · 30/04/2026 21:15

Denise is supposed to be 57 (looked it up) so I really don’t think she could be pregnant again!

TurquoiseDreamCatcher · 30/04/2026 21:26

Were there ever scenes of Phil and Grant being nice to each other? Or were they always shouting and squaring up to each other?

The only fun one I can think of the comedy kung fu fighting one

Shellingbynight · 30/04/2026 21:44

I don't think I can remember Phil and Grant being nice to each other. But I suppose they must have been occasionally, I think they used to team up against a shared enemy didn't they?

South yes only in EastEnders would dull Vicki would have Ross, Zack, and Spencer all fighting over her!

As PP have said Denise is 57, she isn't going to be pregnant.

How old was Sharon when she had Albie? This is Eastenders.. stranger things have happened lol

I agree it’s unlikely and lazy writing, but it could be thyroid issues, cardiac issues, or deficiencies.

Shellingbynight · 30/04/2026 22:03

Shaz is only 56 now, 50 when she had Albie.

Southeastdweller · 30/04/2026 22:51

I think Denise’s health issue is diabetes - it’s increasing in the UK and there hasn’t been a PSA for a while.

Wonder if the are going down the chronic fatigue route with Denise, fibromyalgia/ME type thing not something you see on soaps, we see Denise ‘working’ more than most so could be an interesting one. She could have stormed out cos she’s exhausted and has been taking the brunt of looking after jacks grandchild?

I loved dance like Nigel. Linda spent a lot of time with Nigel and of course Phil, Lexi really took to him, she can be a little madam but she lost her mum, her dad is in prison, jay buggered off and she’s living with Calum rather than Cathy/billy/phil. Poor kid

the80sweregreat · 01/05/2026 10:58

Thyroid is a good call for Denise too.
That wouid be interesting to cover.
