I didn’t know she killed soneone. I took a sulking break when Lola died for a few years. I might go back a bit to catch up. Maybe she’s not loving after all.

It’s been hinted that Harry’s pregnant girlfriend Shireen was pushed to her death by Nicola. She managed to get away with it , but Harry hasn’t really forgotten about it as she was the love of his life apparently

I missed a few months a while back, was Teddy was going to develop some land into appartments with Junior but Nicola was worried about the land being dug up?
I could be very wrong there!?

Nicola was going to see if she could dig up Shireen’s body , but she did manage to get away with it all despite being re questioned by the police. I think that Harry gave her an alibi in the end.
The flats were not built and the whole story was quietly dropped.

You're right , there was a potential site ( in Dartford I think ) , we saw Nicola standing in the rubble where it was being cleared , trying to fathom where the body was ( quite what she'd have done if she found it , who knows ?)

Nicola was not only the suspect for Shareens death but there was something about a dodgy batch of lip filler that killed a client ? Or was that a cover up?

Fox and Hair better give deep consideration if they need a new employee and someone mentions that Nicola did beauty aethestics .
Denice - no training in beauty but she is owner/manager
Kim- self appointed manucurist
Lola - hairdresser , she did work at Blades which was Dean's salon but who knows what training she had?
Josh is now sweeping up, making tea and simpering about giving fashion advice even though he's trained in art , not beauty.
So Nicola would fit in well . Like Kojo , who just by liking cars ( diesel black London Taxi cabs especially) and living with Harry , is a fully fledged mechanic ...

They open up a business with little experience don’t they. At least Zac was a trained chef when he worked for Ravi, but it’s rare that anyone is properly trained up.

Thank you for the update. She’s a crazy person, I don’t envy Pennie messing with her and Suki when the baby news breaks.

When Nicola first appeared to wind up Teddy , he said she’d come out of prison for using fake Botox on someone.
They have softened her up a bit over the past year , but you still wouldn’t mess with her.

Nicola has already had a pop at penny hasnt she.
She has a feud now with Suki and Eve.
She did suspect that Penny is pregnant with Harry’s baby , but the false DNA certificate Oscar did seemed to fend her off.

Denice - no training in beauty but she is owner/manager
Kim- self appointed manucurist
Yes, and they leave Josh in charge of the shop, he’s qualified to sweep the floor.

Thanks, you lot remember everything!😃

And Koj practically single handedly running The Arches!

I have a girl-crush on Nicola 😍

I’m glad they’re developing her beyond the one dimensional Nasty Nic character she was at first, but also glad they’re keeping enough of the ‘Ard woman that she stays interesting. She’s definitely a good match for Suki.

There does seem to be a fair amount of murder (and burying bodies!) on the Square - all eventually forgotten, of course!

Ravi disposed of that man that attacked Suki ( the one he thought was his dad )
Can’t remember what happened to his body in the end.
We never did find out where Vincent ended up or fat boy either. A few mysteries with people.

Nicola is very attractive. The bully fearless confidence.
I forgot about Fatboy, that was a strange storyline.

That man was who Ravi thought was his father (but actually wasn't) - Ranvir.

IIRC Ranvir ended up in a suitcase in the river ( must;ve folded him up or maybe dismembered him)

Didn't Vincent have a new identity as he was an Informer or undercover Police or something? So maybe not even Eastenders Dead-Not-Dead but Cindy Dead Not Dead with a new ID .

I refuse to believe FatBoy is dead but they cannot bring him back , as Ricky Norwood kinds scuppered his chances . And a NuHead FatBoy just won't do !
So we'll just have to accept reflections of FatBoy in the window or cards mysteriously appearing (like the card to Dot)

They have so many informers it’s like the writers are trying to make EE be proper east end like when the Krays ran it. It’s so unbelievable with the 6 murdering or being suspects in murdering Ken. I don’t know of any women murderers. In fact most of the crime in my yoof was older teens/in 20s men friends of ours who we knew from the older brother of my best mate and the pubs they frequented, doing petty crime like robberies and ending up inside. We’d sometimes go to see them if arranged at Wandsworth, Brixton or Pentonville nick. Pentonville was a laugh as we went to Camden market afterwards. We went to Pizza Hut in Brixton after that visit. Wandsworth was a pita nothing there! We were 15/16 at the time and my mum had no idea!

Yeah EE are quite harsh on anyone bringing the show into disrepute. Ricky Norwood hasn’t done too badly since leaving the soap as a Z lister.

I personally think they were very harsh with Jay’s character going but to be fair apart from Lola and Lexie he wasn’t really going anywhere script wise in EE.

Jay making remarks on the strictly show and hanging out with people who were less than wholesome and the bbc decided he had to go. It was probably a warning to others not to say anything controversial too.
They might bring back a new head, but not sure what stories they could have really.

The Ben actor left under a cloud as he had become unruly. But he’s a Mitchell and a good actor so I suppose there’s value in bringing him back. Jay leaving was a shame as he’d been in the show since he was a child but his character had run its course.

The storylines are pure dross at the moment. I did like the scene with Honey telling Nicola how sad she felt never having a proper female friend and being dismissed by other women as an airhead.

Honey is sweet, but she’s always been on the outside of so many friendship groups and I suppose we can all identify with that. She is just a bit too quirky for some people I suppose and struggled when she had Janet.
Probably the reason she felt sorry for Bea.

Something niggled me when I caught up earlier - Honey told the story about her dad saying she operated on a different frequency and something about 'Honey FM' (I forget the exact words) - I thought she had only acquired the nickname Honey in adulthood due to working as a honey trap?

ETA: I mean, I should know by now of course that the writers are not averse to rewriting history 😄

Yes. She was a honey trap once wasn’t she. The Honey fm stuff was all rubbish.
