Maybe it's Tanya, they do like an unrealistically old pregnancy

I said it before but I think it’s Stacey in his bed. The bride will probably be Linda (there is nobody else it could be).

The curve ball could be we are supposed to think we will never see Priya again as the actress has left. It must be ravi with the gun and that has to be because of Priya surely?

The way Cindy is going there's a good chance it'll be her with the gun.

I think it’s Stacey too.. and we haven’t seen the last of Priya

I think Tanya is too old to be pregnant again , but this is EE where they are all super fertile. According to the internet , the character is early 50s, so it might be her I guess? I don’t think the actress wants to come back though.
Nancy returns next week!

I don’t know anyone irl who plant trees to remember people. Maybe a rose or a plant, but it’s rare.
They unplanted Chantelle’s tree once to take over to Spain!

My favourite bit last night was the Cindy reference to Vanessa Gold's "Bubbly in the fridge".

I'm assuming that the awful rushed situation with Priya over the last few days is because the actress perhaps had to bring her maternity leave forward. If not, and this was properly planned, it's diabolical writing!

I’m not sure, a few have said on the Facebook post that she had her baby in June which must’ve been close to the time that her last scenes were filmed.

The vast majority of the time they film six to eight weeks in advance.

She could still have had to bring her maternity leave forward, if she was advised she needed to deliver early.

But yeah, more likely just dreadful writing! 🤣

I think most of us has thought right from the start the woman in the bed is either Stacey or Priya? We thought Lacey might make a return by then (and she is) and she is always mixed up with Max. I really hope they are not loading her up with yet another child though.

But Priya's Max's baby exit was such a bizarre choice it must have some relevance later on.

Although the storyline choices have been generally bizarre and inexplicable, so who knows.

Best thing Lauren did today was stopping the singing.
🎵

My prediction for today’s one ;

It was Louie behind the door and has recorded Lauren. He will do to her what she did to Max years ago! Full circle.

Louie blackmailed Vicki and Zac, would he do it again? Serial offender 😂

That would be poetic.

I haven't watched todays, so not sure what was recorded etc.
They definitely would have Louie blackmailing again, and they would recycle the plot his mum did. However it won't be this christmas because Lauren and Peter seemed to be still together in the flash forward

Yes they are fond of recycling plots and doubling up on plots for sure.

Aren't there supposed to be only 7 basic plot lines for drama? It feels like EE have refined that number to about 3.

Affairs, blackmail... what's the third? 😆

Pointless gangster stuff?

Oh yes how could I forget pointless gangster stuff!

I wish they would!

Yes, lauren and pet ahh may be together NYD, but maybe he waits till NYD and that triggers the kidnap ? It’s a huge shot in the dark though and true , they seem solid , even if Mark is also around and friends with Max too. Pet ahh isn’t going to this new wedding because of his mum.
It could be Cindy behind the door today too ! Biding her time ( or even Ravi )
