I loved Priya today. She was so funny with that group of girls and with Suki. And then the sudden change to anger when she encountered Ravi.

At the end he threatened to kill whoever she’s shagging - the therapy worked well then😆

So back in January looks like we guessed right. Priya in the bed, Ravi with the gun. I don’t think it’s too obvious, Wadey does not do subtle. We guessed who Jasmine was the day after the arrived but Ben Wadey took about five months to 'surprise' us with that.

They have obviously been filming out of sequence because last week Priya looked more pregnant than this week. I am sure that happens all the time but we have no way knowing usually.

So where HAS Ravi got his money from?

(I agree, bring back Chris Clenshaw!)

She remembered Suki’s mobile number! Fair play. I have trouble remembering my own one some days.

It was comical tonight with a mix of nice stories for a change. Eve is really trying. I hope things work out for her. Priya was hilarious tonight.
Max is going to be in serious trouble when Raci finds out.

Eve looks like a fish out of water doesn’t she.
She’ll probably blow her fuse again and go off to Brighton.

Agree it's all very obvious now. Pregnant Pryia and Ravi with the gun.

The identity of the bride almost seems irrelevant now but I think we can safely rule out Chelsea. With all that's going on I doubt she's got the time or energy to fall in love with Max. I don't think Linda would be daft enough to marry a man who is currently engaged to another woman 5 months time. And I think it's highly likely that Cindy is playing a game. She's far too loved up and happily ever after. It's Max Branning!

I'm beginning to wonder if Max is even the groom. That would be a good twist so unlikely, I guess.

So Priya will be pregnant, could it possibly be Ravi's baby? Another "who's the father?" storyline ! Considering the birth rate is falling globally, it's alive and kicking in Albert Square with Max and all his offspring, I mean with Lauren and Annie being sisters, 30 years apart ! There's only been Rainey recently with fertility problems, unless there were other characters in the 1990's when I didn't watch EE.

No, max is definitely the groom as the radio announcer said so ( Scott Mills, so that will have to be changed NYD I suppose )
Then they play ‘ stuck in the middle with you ‘

Sonia had IVF with Reiss’s wife in a coma money.
The one he ended up killing

I’ve woken up this morning after an EE dream, and this may be a reach but if I was writing the show.. Cindy could be the one holding the gun, as either a jilted lover because Max has got Priya pregnant or is marrying someone else on their wedding day or seeking revenge for Steven and Lucy. There’s too many reasons for her to hate him, for her to not be somehow involved in his arrest or the hostage situation. I don’t believe she’s in love and happily marrying him.

Also, if Max was marrying Cindy, Peter would be at that wedding because Cindy would remind him how everyone hates her and he would do as he’s told.

We still don’t know why Jack hates Max so much, or what “kiss, marry, kill” refers to. Or why Peter hates him so much that Lauren says it’s lucky Peter hasn’t killed him yet, or how Max saves Jimmy and Ethan.

I think there’s still a lot that will happen and change.

I agree that Cindy is out for revenge. Maybe even working with Priya.

ON NYD Lauren says to Oscar something like Max is ‘lucky Peter hasn't actually killed him” so there is a reference to Peter not going to the wedding.

Surely the bride can’t be Cindy, it’s to obvious. Although the producer does love ‘obvious’. She hasn’t given any indication she is playing a game, although when she finds out about Priya that switch is very likely.

I doubt it’s Chelsea, although I suspect the Gray stuff will be wrapped up in a few weeks. I never thought it would be Denise.

Would Linda marry him now? To be honest I can’t anyone who knows anything about Max marrying him, so I am stumped!

So Max has properties to sell. Was he a property developer in his absence?

Nice to see Sharon. Ridiculous that she said she wanted to be free of the gym so she should visit Michelle easily. She’s been with Michelle for an entire year!

That’s what I mean, we know Peter isn’t going and is really angry with Max.. so I don’t believe he’s marrying Cindy lol

True, but there are many other ways that Max could have annoyed Peter!

I do suspect the bride will end up being Cindy, but a Cindy who has found out about Priya, and the two women are setting Max up. It would be just the type of thing both of them would do.

If it all falls apart with Cindy because she finds out about Priya, there is surely no way anyonelse would then volunteer to marry him within a few months - on the same day he was already booked to marry Cindy!

Maybe Cindy and Priya end up plotting Max's downfall by setting him up to get arrested by the police? For the dodgy cars that Lauren has been selling via Mark?

Maybe NYD is just a dream 😴 😆
Especially as it seems Priya is pregnant in real life.
They can do anything I suppose.
I like the idea of Priya n Cindy stitch up. Yesterday she was going to dob him in and now she isn’t , so why the change of heart ?only because Ravi returned ?

NYD is actually quite a long wait for a wedding by EE standards. Usually when a venue has 'had a cancellation' it's the next week or something ridiculous 😄

I agree with PPs that Cindy and Priya could be in cahoots by NYD, to bring Max down. I wonder if it all comes out about Priya, Cindy pretends to forgive Max (and of course Peter is furious) and it starts there.

Cindy bringing max down makes sense. She may be the one who gets him arrested. She tried to have a hit man kill Ian once, so she knows it’s an offence you can be arrested for and people who you can hire! She may find out about Priya , but that might help her feel she needs to get revenge and carry on with a sham wedding. Only musings, but I can’t see why she is marrying him really.

If Cindy is the bride, and she dobbed him in, she wouldn't expect him to turn up at the venue as she just got him arrested. But he was randomly released ... still not sure why.

Isn't the Vic doing the food? So they aren't going to the fancypants wedding venue. So maybe she breaks up with him, cancels it all, and then pretends to forgive him so she can further humiliate him with whatever her plan is.

80s yes I think Priya just went back to Max yesterday as a big F U to both Ravi and Cindy.

Right back at the start , Sue and Ali Osman owned the cafe and co-ran OzCabs with Mehmet , Ali's brother .
They lost their baby son Hassan to cot death which was one of Eastenders first hard hitting storylines .
Sue struggled with infertility and was devasted how Mary the punk treated her daughter Annie , neglecting her . Sue would baby sit every chance but Mary was a very brittle character who didn't see this as "oh she's trying to help" but more "she's trying to take Annie off me just because she doesn;t have her own child she's not having mine"

And Jane who was married to Ian, though Ian had a vasectomy which I don't know if he had reversed but Jane was shot in the abdomen by Steven which made a hysterectomy a life saving situation so robbed her of the chance . Which is why she was so bonded with Bobby .

I was thinking about how many of Sonia’s ex lovers are dead:
Reiss
Tina
Martin
Jamie

Sonia hasn’t had much luck! I wonder how they are faring in Bali ? Is it as hot as it is here ?
Bianca with her colouring is probably struggling a bit bless her! ( I know I am )

Sonia annoys me. She’s so drippy and moany (guess that’s how they script write her). Why can’t they kill her off?! She’s a fan favourite

Natalie Cassidy seems to be doing well not being Sonia , so I can’t see her returning anytime soon.

She was never a loved character was she ! Far too whingy and she stole money once as well.
