I was just thinking about that. Huge dramatic scene with Ian stabbing Gray, and then nothing. We don't know if Gray lived or died, or what happened with Ian. And none of his family seems to care!

To be fair we don't care either 😂

Alucard55 · 03/09/2026 12:29

@Shellingbynight they only showed the 3 women alongside white garments?

When is Linda leaving she must still here till NYD?

I love Max and Priya together (well, Max and anyone really) but Priya can't be the bride because the flash forward explicitly set it up as the bride = Cindy, Linda, Denise or Chelsea. If they dump that concept they may as well not have bothered with the whole thing!

I'm not convinced it's one of the four. Eastenders has led us down ridiculous paths many times in the past.

Shellingbynight · 03/09/2026 12:39

@Alucard55
Yes, that's right, because Dee had 'stormed out' but there was a wedding dress hanging in her house in the scene with Libby, and the publicity named Linda, Cindy, Dee and Chelsea as brides.

If it's someonelse this whole thing has been a waste of time (actually, it probably is anyway 😆)

Linda and Oscar are both there on NYD but I think they probably leave soon after. Oscar arrived in July 2025 and I believe he had a 12 month and 6 month contract, which would mean him leaving by Feb.

And you're right, why would we care about Ian when we know he's fine in a few months! There is no jeopardy whatsoever.

Alucard55 · 03/09/2026 12:50

@Shellingbynight so process of elimination, Linda is leaving after NYD so can't be the bride. Chelsea not at this point - even for Max. Denise even for EastEnders definitely not. Unless Priya has a termination soon then we can guess pregnant woman in bed.

Doesn't seem like there's a twist.

Alucard55 · 03/09/2026 12:52

I'm going to put a fiver on Priya being the bride.

the80sweregreat · 03/09/2026 12:53

Still loads we don’t know.
Why Chelsea has fallen out with Nic
why Jack is drinking
why the baby is with him
what did max do to rescue two children
who is gun holding person
why is Vic being boarded up
How max jumps out of a window without breaking his neck or leg!

I'll give it a go.

Something trivial.
Cos he's a twat.
Penny is in hospital, blood tests were required and it's all came out about the baby.
Some overcomplicated thing.
Yolanda.
Another complicated thing.
Cos he's Max Branning.

the80sweregreat · 03/09/2026 12:59

Very good ! 👍
I bet a few things change by NYD .. ! lol
Ravi’s torture scene is very atmospheric

Alucard55 · 03/09/2026 13:00

I think at this point I could do a better job than the writers!

the80sweregreat · 03/09/2026 13:00

Yolande with a gun though ! Quoting the Bible whilst trying to kidnap two adults , very Tarantino

Alucard55 · 03/09/2026 13:01

An eye for an eye makes the world blind!

Agree !

You think she's the bride and the pregnant woman? It's possible even though the publicity named the other four.

As you say, it clearly isn't Chelsea or Denise, unlikely to be Linda. It could still be Cindy, setting him up for humiliation after the Priya reveal.

Logistically difficult though because the Priya actress is clearly off on maternity leave soon so she'd have to do a lot of hurried filming - and then she will presumably be off screen for months.

(I love your version of events and it is bound to be better than the real thing😆)

the80sweregreat · 03/09/2026 14:13

Ravi not even contemplating that the baby may not be his one ! Do me a favour as Kim might say!

Alucard55 · 03/09/2026 16:10

@Shellingbynight I think it's a possibility. Not seen today's but if Pryia keeps the baby then Ravi is definitely not bringing up Max's child. She could tell Ravi it will be a ginger, he goes all Ravi on her and she ends it. I can see Max and Pryia being a good pairing.

Is Pryia has a termination (and that would need to be soon) then we're back to guessing.

Shellingbynight · 03/09/2026 16:37

If Priya loses the baby/has a termination I'll go back to my other guess of Stacey.
I know Max is an old dog but there isn't anyonelse in Walford who would be 7 months pregnant and in his bed.

the80sweregreat · 03/09/2026 17:29

Whole thing is a mess. Priya has been told it’s Max’s baby. She can’t wriggle out of any of this easily can she.

the80sweregreat · 03/09/2026 17:49

I don’t feel that Priya is in the right place for a termination , but the fact that Ravi is convinced it’s his child , means she can’t easily unless she goes down that route and lies again that she had a miscarriage instead. He isn’t that bright to not even ask if it is his child.!

the80sweregreat · 03/09/2026 18:56

With the last Christmas fast forwards ( which wasn’t as long ) we all thought it might be Nish that dies and nobody I knew even considered it could be Keanu that actually died, so a curve ball may happen again. I’ve a hunch it may do , but with who or what I’m not sure.
Maybe Ravi sets up the hit man idea , but someone else kidnaps his kids. There is still loads going on NYD that doesn’t make much sense.

the80sweregreat · 03/09/2026 19:09

Whoever the one with the gun is, Lauren knows them , so that narrows it down a little bit. She doesn’t even seem surprised to see them there.

Meredusoleil · 03/09/2026 19:20

I can't belive Linda has had such an about face! Literally a 180 degree turn on Max. Talk about messed up ffs.

the80sweregreat · 03/09/2026 19:26

The Linda turnabout is probably because she is leaving. I bet they had to rewrite it all to fit in with her going.

I think Ravi might understand if it is Max’s baby. He seems to really love her and he left her in a bad place. Fingers crossed.

the80sweregreat · 03/09/2026 20:01

Ravi seemed to think it’s his because max said they always used contraception! As if you would believe that one .. ( as they live in one of the most fertile regions in London lol )
