To be fair to Vinny , he didn’t know anything about Harry and even we were surprised as he had just started on a massive come down after the Oakie business and had enough going on! Still, it didn’t stop them and she had slept with him before as well ( the day he turned up no less!)
Gina and H are happy people , so we know it can’t last much longer. Lol
So many babies have a Rocky start with parents on the square. A new therapy clinic may be a good idea too as they all need it eventually.

I found the Penny thing quite triggering and yet realistic, as I too ignored the big leg for too long. And I could feel it getting more sore, which she may not have been able to do given the paralysis. Dp, like Vinny, kept telling me to call the gp (it was during covid) . When I was really in agony, I did, they hauled me straight in, and while I was there called the hospital to expect me and we went straight over. Like Penny, one had migrated to my lung, but I was in 3 days, so sending a disabled pregnant woman home after 1 night doesn't ring true, but I can see why she thought it would go away as that's exactly what I did.

Odd to watch your own stubbornness and stupidity played out on screen.

You never want to admit anything is wrong do you. It’s weird as most people are quick to tell other people to do things but rarely take advice themselves! It’s human nature to put it down to other things isn’t it.

Haha, you got me there, I'm totally do as I say re the doc and not as I do. An anti hypochondriac for myself, but not for others.

Although I'm trying to change my ways after that. Blood thinners for life.....

the80sweregreat · 21/08/2026 12:56

We all do it though ! Oh, it’s nothing , don’t want to make a fuss and so on ( or sit up a and e forever on a hard chair ) With the state of our hospitals, you csnt wonder at people’s reluctance to admit there’s a problem!

murasaki · 21/08/2026 12:59

Well yes, the last thing i wanted to do during covid was go into hospital....luckily I got my own room (well repurposed cupboard, but I was glad).

the80sweregreat · 21/08/2026 13:04

Glad it was sorted out murasaki , sounds bad. Especially if it was over Covid times.

murasaki · 21/08/2026 13:12

Thanks!

the80sweregreat · 21/08/2026 13:18

I saw online that Jacqueline jossa ( Lauren) put a photo of the set online with a for sale up at what looked like jeans house! She was ‘ told off ‘ about it apparently
I wonder where Jean , mo , Zac Lily and Charli will be living ? ..

The Vic. Alfie will build a new illegal attic!

the80sweregreat · 21/08/2026 13:33

Oh yes, the illegal extension. Suki may have trouble selling that house with that there.

murasaki · 21/08/2026 13:37

She'll find a way to blackmail Clive into retrofitting the planning permission.

the80sweregreat · 21/08/2026 13:39

Oh yes, Clive the hot councillor . Suki and her massive handbag will ‘ pay him a little visit ‘ for some blackmail or something and get it passed retrospectively.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 21/08/2026 13:55

Someone mentioned about the 1979 flash back scene? Were there more of those? Was quite telling.

Yes Priya is working at the car lot - using the word 'working' fairly loosely! She slept with Ravi about three hours before she slept with Max (the day of Vicki's wedding). So assuming that is the day of conception she would have no idea whose it was.

It really lacks credibility that the savvy mum of a teenage daughter, who would drummed the importance of safe sex into her, would have had unprotected sex with two men within the space a few hours but here we are. I do find these who’s the daddy stories a bit irresponsible for that reason. When they do have sexual health stories it’s usually focused on the younger characters and can be a bit ridiculous (Josh and the Twins potentially all having an STI🫤)

Alucard55 · 21/08/2026 14:09

How many weeks ago did Priya shag Ravi? She's not daft if it's any less than that then it's Max's.

Where is the illegal extension? Is it the garage?

EmeraldShamrock000 · 21/08/2026 14:25

Shellingbynight · 21/08/2026 10:07

Yes agreed. And she actually sent him a photo of her with 'someone' on the same day as Ravi shagged her and left (to wind him up) so I doubt he will accept it's his. If she wants to stay with him she needs to have a termination asap.

Edited

Oh I forgot about it. Someone as paranoid as Ravi will keep that under his hat until he has Priya back, knee deep.
Maybe he could raise another man’s child if he loves her enough but not without assaulting said man, as he’s leaving the show, most likely he’ll be heading to jail.

Shellingbynight · 21/08/2026 14:31

Murasaki 💐. That must have been frightening for you. Glad you are okay.

@Eastie77Returns absolutely. But where would soaps be without rolling out accidental pregnancies and who's the daddy storylines every year! It would be nice though if contraception got a mention.

@Alucard55 she shagged Ravi, and first shag with Max, at the end of May, 27th I think. So she would be about 3 months now, and 31 weeks on NYD.

Shellingbynight · 21/08/2026 14:36

@EmeraldShamrock000 Yes that photo is going to click right into Ravi's brain when she says she's pregnant.

Ravi isn't really the forgiving type is he. He's more the armed gunman type! I still think it's him sending the 'choose Lauren or Oscar' message on NYD.

Alucard55 · 21/08/2026 15:03

@Shellingbynight thank you. So if she's under 3 Months It's a ginger baby.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 21/08/2026 16:19

the80sweregreat · 21/08/2026 13:39

Oh yes, Clive the hot councillor . Suki and her massive handbag will ‘ pay him a little visit ‘ for some blackmail or something and get it passed retrospectively.

I still see Clive as David. Was he in Holby or Casualty? He was sweet as David too.
Baby is definitely Max’s child, another step siblings for Lauren and Oscar and Annie, not forgetting Bradley and Abbey.
Jack isn’t much better, Pennie, Amy, Ricky, am I missing one or has Jack only 3 children.

It's a loft extension in the Slater house . Alfie done it . Doesn't have proper stairs, fire door, fire regs or planning permission. He just lobbed some planks down and said "There's your new room kids" ( IIRC it was when Haley was there so he was probably trying to keep in their good books before he was rumbled)
If that house was a real house in East London it would have a double storey extension incorporating the garage and a loft extension .Double the size
I think Nish muttered that as a plan .

I'm hovering here and DD is sending updates 😁

Shellingbynight · 21/08/2026 16:49

You've got a good memory 70s, I don't remember that at all. The Hayley time was pretty dire maybe I wiped it from my mind!

the80sweregreat · 21/08/2026 16:59

Hayley had cherry. Kat was going to adopt her , but nothing. Alfie never mentions her. Not sure where they are.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 21/08/2026 22:49

DH was watching Rise of the Foot Soldier , the Actress who played Haley ( Katie Jarvis) was partnered with a long haired Teddy Jumpers. I don't think their paths crossed in EastEnders ( there were so many EastEnders actors I lost track what I was watching 🤣)
