Nice dog ! That’s all I can take from that photo.
I also like Nicola , but these may well ruin her character.
One of them will work in the bar I suppose.

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.

Haha, so true! I love it 😂

Marian McLoughlin, was in Eastenders years ago a Police/CID ( i recognised her when I saw the photo and searched )

That dog .......I cannot see Nic liking a dog around . If it even dares to look funny at BabyIvy it'll be out on its ear .

Southeastdweller · 31/07/2026 12:21

They will all get jobs in the square, of course. At least one will be given a job by Nicola.

‘ get that dog outta my basement ‘ ! Grr
They must have money to move back to London. Prices are silly there.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 12:24

Yep, the younger looking lad will be a mechanic or something like that , one in the bar , quirky sister in the restaurant maybe ? Mum won’t work , she’ll be hanging around moaning and falling out with the other Mitchell’s.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 12:25

The one with the big trousers , what will he do ?

Shellingbynight · 31/07/2026 12:25

@Southeastdweller I agree Mark and Lauren are the opposite of exciting!

Speaking of kids in the kiddie cupboard, who was looking after Ivy yesterday when her parents were drunk and/or arguing about their terrible parents.

I wonder what those Stanstead photos are about. I don’t think even in EE land Sheila is the type to kidnap him.

The Hawkins family - why do there have to be SO many of them? Just Nic's sister, husband, kid would be fine. But we have a mother and extra sister too. Too much all at once. I agree the son does look in his 30s!

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 12:28

The one with the dog, he looks a Freddie sort.
Barney will dislike all of them! Can’t say I blame him.
The young girl, she looks ok, but will probably have an affair with Zac.. Barney’s dad !!

Southeastdweller · 31/07/2026 12:29

Young girl? The actress is 51!

Shellingbynight · 31/07/2026 12:33

The one on the far left does look very young but that's Patricia Potter who is Gemma isn't it? She's 51. Mind you that doesn't mean she won't shag Zack 😆 It's not a very clear pic of any of them!

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 12:35

I meant the one in the heels with the beige jacket on, she looks fairly young ish ?

That's Patricia Potter (Gemma).

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 12:38

Gosh, she is 51. She looks younger than that ., I thought 30s ! Lol
I don’t watch holby.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 12:40

Zac likes older women , but he might still be after Vicki despite it all.
Max might be a shoo in, she looks his type as well. Although he has enough going on .. lol

Shellingbynight · 31/07/2026 13:12

You are right she is bound to have an affair by Christmas😆 Surely it has to be Zack! He won't get anywhere with Vicki and will do it to get back at her get over her. And bonus points for also annoying Nicola. Surely they have to do this, it's practically obligatory on the square to shag sisters/mother and daughter.

It's an odd photo, it looks quickly cobbled together as they obviously aren't all standing together at the same time. It was hard to tell who was supposed to be who.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 13:25

Anna constable is Jodie Nic’s younger sister. The son of Gemma is Ryder
Husband is Ned.
The only one I recognized is the mum as she looked familiar and is in Trying ( which is really good, but nobody I know watches it )

Shellingbynight · 31/07/2026 14:07

I've never heard of Trying!
I vaguely recognise Gemma but none of the others. Although when they arrive on screen I might realise I know them. I don't think I ever saw Laura Doddington before EE though, whereas some people knew her.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 14:10

I didn’t know Nicola either. She was in ‘ the bill ‘ but I only dipped in and out of that, so I didn’t know Ross either.
Trying ‘was on I player. Not sure if it still is. It was on nextflix , but I don’t have that anymore . Rafe spall is in it and one out of ‘ the undeclared war’ .

storminabuttercup · 31/07/2026 14:47

Am I being really stupid? I can’t see which one Is the ‘younger sister’ if the one with Archie off Beyond paradise is Gemma?
I see Nic in the middle, older woman on her right (our left) a couple similar age to Nic next to her, then on her left an older woman and a lad?

goes off to find glasses

hotmumshit · 31/07/2026 14:49

Its Diane from Holby City!

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 14:51

The younger sister is Jodie , next to the man with the dog in the black jacket. The man with the dog is Nic’s nephew. Her mum is Rose.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 14:51

I suppose that Nic is the middle sister then.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 14:53

The nephew with the dog is Ryder.

storminabuttercup · 31/07/2026 15:07

Ah I’ve googled and now makes sense, feel a bit of a di*k !
