Im Wondering if Jimmy and Ethan is more of a disaster rescue? Maybe that’s why Nic is in plaster?
they’ve saved the community centre so that’s guaranteed to collapse or something?
baby/toddler group is going on and there’s a fire from the electrics councillor guy fixed?

It’s the Vic being boarded up, but they do all congregate in there a lot even with babies . I can’t imagine what goes wrong though or why.
Zoe ( rip ) steals Charlie’s old black cab next week , might be a revenge attack to do with the slaters or Sean ? He was always dodgy

So Max saves Jimmy and Ethan, and then Lauren and Oscar are threatened too. It has to all be Ravi because of his beef with Max.

Meanwhile Zoe is going to be dead in a week's time, Linda suddenly loves Max, and no seeds were sown for either of those things. So I wouldn't expect any different for the rest of the storylines - things tend to happen out of nowhere!

Ian has been well and truly forgotten. He’s potentially facing a trial for attempted murder, we can assume that Gray lives if Ian is out on NY Eve. He might be out on bail.
Nic and Chelsea fall out? Is it Nicola? I think I’d move if Nicola fell out with me.

Hoping Stacey comes back for the NYE episode..

I think the Ian thing will all be resolved swiftly and he won't be charged for the Gray incident. He is smug and cheerful on NYD and doesn't look like a man awaiting trial for a serious assault. Like other storylines there is a lot of drama, it crashes into the buffers and never heard of again.

Linda has been mooning around Max since he came back. She wants happy families with him Annie and Ollie.
There are sorry many things need to happen before NYD its going to be a hectic few months!
Ravi just believing the baby is his is a bit mad, but he isn't the most mentally stable and does have form for huge leaps like that.
Max and Cindy can't get married next week, I think Max will call it off, then Linda leaves, for whatever reason and he goes crawling back to Cindy.

Linda finds out about Max and Priya next week so may not be so keen on him after that. I'll be surprised if Cindy doesn't get told about it too.

How many times are they going to roll out another set of extended family members, who are only going to stay for a while and then become part and parcel of the square.
Still trying to see the point of Jodie.
Rose is definitely giving off Aunt Babe vibes.
Also, how many accidental pregnancies??!
It's bonkers.
And Ravi automatically assuming it's his, just minutes after learning of Max and Priya's fling. Right oh then 🙄

Laughing at Kim's lines "Mr Bingo Balls with his magic screwdriver"
And of course, our lovely Oscar debating whether Cinders would prefer to be called Mummy 😂

Maybe Linda and Priya will fight it out at Cindy’s wedding.

Baby will probably have ginger hair.

@HighburyHope All three of them could fight for Max, what a prize he is 😆

I suppose Peter's refusal to go to the NYD wedding is because of all this.

I haven't completely discounting Max marrying Linda but as she's leaving it would not really go anywhere. And Cindy is more likely to forgive him because she's a cheater herself.

Linda's eldest kids Lee and Nancy are due to make an appearance, so Linda won't be going quietly I am sure.

I quite enjoyed all the drama yesterday, even if most of it didn’t make sense.

Ravi going crazy over Priya seeing someone else after he dumped her and left the Square. Then not even questioning whether the baby is his. Right!

I don’t understand why we need to have two women on the Square both lying about who their baby’s father is at the same time. And Ravi and Vinnie from the same family! Seems like odd scriptwriting.

Linda sacking off a decent bloke who is really into her to declare her love for ropey old shagger Max on the eve of his wedding was…interesting. It’s all getting a bit Days of Our Lives.

Although I’d love Linda and Max to get together, and then Mick to walk out of the sea and back to the Square and Linda to fall back into his arms. I’d go for that plot if the writers are intent on doing these implausible, silly storylines.

Maybe Linda and Max will schedule their engagement party for Halloween, at which point Mick will rise from the dead.

The actress who plays Nancy (can’t think of her name right now) is very pregnant in real life so I wonder if that’ll be worked into the story or if she’ll have a timeshare in Priya’s big bag? 😁

I hope that Linda has a change of heart once she discovers that he was with Priya and Cindy and he isn’t really for her. You never know.

Priya's big bag deserves a credit of its own at this point.

Nancy actress is pregnant in real life , I didn’t know this.
Lol at the ‘ big old bag ‘ of pregnancy hiding.
Linda wouid make a great grand mother too.

Just googled and I see what you mean - Maddie Hill was very pregnant turning up on set in August. Is Nancy's character married/partnered?

Nancy went off with Tamwar, but it was said that they split up ages ago. That went off to Oz or New Zealand or somewhere I think? Not sure if she is with anyone now ? They don’t mention her or Lee.

I liked Tamwar and his parents Masood and Zainab. I’d like to see them come back but I think Masood is in a relationship with Jane now?

Regarding Gray, he was fine after Ian’s attack as there was a scene where Chelsea visited him in the prison hospital. He was fully conscious and hissing more threats at her. It is weird that there has been no mention of Ian though, even Kathy has just moved on!

The episodes in the last week or so just seem a bit disjointed and the new family members are just recycled past character. Nic’a sister, the one married to Ned, reminds me of Bea. And I think Nic and Ned will end up having an affair - just a vibe I get from them.

I wouldn’t be shocked if it comes out that Nic’s real dad was a long lost Mitchell or someone Rose had an affair with and Nicola also has had a fling with Ned historically. Genma will forgive them to hold on to him and Rose will hate her even more.
They will probably end up buying sukis house somehow and run the pub. Not sure how , but they must be doing something with them and just having them hanging around with Nicola won’t cut it.

I like the idea that the pregnant woman in Max's bed is Stacey. Perhaps she comes back and has nowhere else to go. Sean is coming back soon so maybe he'll mention that Stacey has got together with someone in Brazil.

Or, pregnant woman is the obvious person - Priya - who has admitted to Ravi that the baby is Max's and been kicked out. Then there's a twist as it turns out the baby is actually Ravi's. Surely one of the two babies in the 'who's the daddy?' plots will actually be the child of the man who thinks it's his!

When Danny Dyer left I said I think there's a possibility he'll be back, hence they never found Mick's body. Imagine if his return was involved in Linda's exit somehow! I suspect it'll be something much less sensational though, possibly with Janine in the mix somewhere.

@NoisyBrain there’s a funeral soon, not just Zoe's but a second one has been filmed, and Janine has been seen in photos from that as well as Linda. Perhaps Mick’s body has been found?
