Ahh, maybe a holiday then. Which is nice rather than children being abducted.

Nicola’s estranged family, from EE official Facebook

It was quite a few weeks ago now that those pics appeared online so we can’t be too far off seeing that storyline now.

The mum looks familiar. Wonder where they will live ?

I remember Patricia Potter from Holby and Brookside. I don’t know if she’s been cast right as Nicola’s sister 🙄 but time will tell!

Yet another mum who didn’t protect her daughter from a horrible dad. I suppose that’ll be most of the problems with Nicola , her mum will deny it or say there wasn’t anything she could do. It’s a lot of new characters isn’t it!

They sound a bit like the Slaters mark two. Abusive dad instead of an uncle, sisters and so on.
Dark secrets too no doubt.
Most people move away from the pricy east end, not to it from Kent ! Unless they have won the lottery.

On first impressions I don't like the look of that lot.

On Chelsea I find it mad that she's shagged Jack and Jack and that's not an issue for anyone.

Edited to ask would that technically be a threesome?

The mother reminds me a bit of Susan from Neighbours, from that photo anyway.

Yes I thought that too Susan Kennedy.

I’ve been meaning to ask, where did the ‘Jack and Jack’ thing come from? I dropped out of this thread for a while and it started while I was away 😄

No- Jack&Jack is so in love with himself , Chelsea would just be a spectator . Maybe cheering and giving him marks out of ten ?

No, me neither! The mum looks like a Cora sort. The young couple seem ok , but they are bound to be a bit rough. Maybe they won’t like George much especially as they are not getting on that well atm.

When Denise was having to choose between Ravi and Jack last year , someone said that Jack would choose himself , hence ‘Jack and Jack’ ( as opposed to Dee and Jack , Dee and Ravi and so on)
Plus he loves himself a bit too. It’s sort of stuck.

Are they going to squeeze five adults and a dog into the house.?
All in the basement ?

No idea where they will live with a big dog too.
Another family with secrets and dodgy storylines.
I like Nicola , but didn’t think her family wouid follow her too. Maybe because jumpers didn’t want to be in it anymore they decided on this. At least it’s not more Mitchells I suppose. I can see Sharon and Phil falling out with them fairly quickly or the dog barking too much !

I hope the lad isn’t meant to be a teenager. He looks about 30.

The sister looks a bit quirky ! Nothing like Nicola. Probably different dads or something ( that will come out over time )
I wonder if they know that Zac is Barney’s dad ?
Or even mention Teddy?

Give it time , they'll be related to the Mitchells somehow

How come all of Nicola’s extended family are coming with her?!
5 in total!

I take these new characters as a sign the EE bosses want Laura Doddington to stay long-term and I do like her, but I don't think the show needs any new characters.

Yes, I did wonder if it’ll turn out Nicola married a Mitchell, but is actually one by blood too ? ..
I mean, the Mitchell’s haven’t had too much input lately and with Sharon back , maybe she’ll be in it more now to fall out with the new clan.
Or something to do with Billy’s side of the Mitchells? Jumpers was his cousin or whatever

Nicola’s dad is dead , but I guess he’ll be the specter of the feast so to speak and brought up a lot in conversation. Also involves Zac and Barney and Sharon by association to those two as well. Probably turn out dirty den is Nicolas real dad ! Or a long lost Mitchell on Peggy’s side.

Spectre I mean !
