Yea I'm thinking Priya will be pregnant with Ravi's baby and her and Max are having an affair

Not Sharon trekking all the way from Australia just to leave the next day 😂😂 she'll have spent more time on the plane than she did in Walford 🥲

Why bother bringing Albie too when he could have stayed with Michelle? Yes, he saw his dad but he’ll be seeing him in a month anyway.

It’s been 5 years, maybe they should just cut their losses and bin Zack off. He didn’t even get much focus in today’s episode and they’ve thrown so much at him yet none of it sticks.

Sharon needed some family back then but she’s got Vicki now. In fact, they could have brought Vicki back in 2021 instead of introducing Zack. They could even have used James Farrar as a Spencer recast.

Not Zack claiming how much he loved Vicki ffs. The lack of chemistry between them is real.

And Vicki legit doesn’t appear to be interested.

Zack only got interested in the last 24 hours once Whitney knocked him back. He doesn’t even care about Barney after forcing his what into his life.

The character is a mess.

It’s giving character assassination which is at odds with how obsessed they are shoving him into everything. I think Tish Dean being off work threw a spanner into the works and probably they just put Vicki and Zac together bc Zac didn’t have much to do without her, but that says more about Zac than anything. He should have left with Whitney at least I think. It’s not like a character of Sharon’s magnitude needs a random half brother for her to come back.

I did laugh at Sharon commenting about her “brother and sister” having it off when her adoptive brother was the love of her life 💀

Why have they given Chelsea a personality transplant, she’s acting about half her age. I suppose she’s barely had any screen time since Jordan was born which is insane so it’s hard to know lol.

Of COURSE Zac had to be involved, why was he even at the wedding still after what happened 💀

That was a really good episode, the first I've been hooked on for a long time

Has Jordan been recast or is it just I haven't noticed him because he's barely been on screen the past 4 years lol? Him getting a duff duff and lead credit though! I had wondered how Chelsea and Ian are linked to this week's episodes together and now we know. I am concerned at how bad this will possibly go for Jordan (especially considering who is returning imminently) and so I certainly hope he pulls through.

I looked earlier as it came up on DS.

It seems to be the same actor, however its actually the first time he's been credited. All his other appearances are uncredited.

But yeah, first time credit and he gets the duff duff.

I guess Jordan has been seen once in a blue moon the last few years so it was difficult to tell if he was new or not.

"Jordan just called me a gammon sandwich" will forever echo in my mind as iconic

Also how do I get an Iggy smart speaker???

Didn't have Denise down as an XX fan x

Jordan is adorable, I'm glad we're actually getting to see him now (although it could be short lived) I hope he doesn't die, my assumption will be that he needs a transfusion/transplant or something and Grey is the only match or they need money to get him treated privately so have to ask Grey to cover it. He isn't going to be back properly is he? It'll just be a cameo type thing like with Lucas?

I can't see them killing off Jordan. Ian was in the FF and seemed fairly happy - I think had he killed Jordan he would've been locked up come the FF.

Also would seem a bit much for the Fox-Truemans - Anthony dying at Christmas and now Denise with cancer, for them to have to deal with a dead child too.

I'd agree about the needing a transplant, or transfusion, or something like that in order for Gray to re-appear

I thought this. Denise getting told she has cancer and her grandchild being run over in the same day seemed like too much.

Great episode.

Though why Chelsie would go from fit Mark to annoying Zac in a heartbeat was beyond me.

The agency representing the young actor playing Jordan just tweeted that he’s become a series regular of Eastenders after tonight’s episode. I think that explains some things we might not know yet.

Zack continues to be the worst character. He’s even making Mark seem likeable (though that could be because his initial terrible story is now over).

As for Chelsea, they have planted a few seeds recently about her feeling dissatisfied with her life. Also, when you remember her from her initial return, a child wasn’t in the plan. She loves Jordan but she never really wanted to be a mother and that’s bound to catch up with her.

Also WHERE is Zoe? Like pretty much everyone has been in the last Couple of eps. Have they quietly dropped Michelle Ryan?

Edited June 1Jun 1 by T Boy

No way was Michelle Ryan quietly dropped, characters just come and go off screen these days.

I agree about Zak i just wish they would get rid of him,

It's supposed to be Josh and Jasmine's birthday soon so I'd imagine she will appear for that though if Michelle Ryan is on a break then they might make up some excuse... "She's gone to Brazil to see Stacey" so casually or something.

I thought Jordan might need some kind of transplant and that’s why Chelsea goes to Gray, but i think Lindsey might be right Chelsea may need money for private rehab for Jordan’s injuries and have to go to Gray but surely Jack has the money for that. I can’t think of any feasible way for him to be back really except possibly Jordan dying and he’s allowed out to attend the funeral but even then the last thing Chelsea would want if Gray anywhere near.

That might be a shout but with Jack putting in the money for Denise and Kim at the salon he may not have the money which is then why Gray is contacted... Though how would he have any money with no job due to being in prison. Wasn't he struggling for work having been fired before he got caught? I vaguely recall something along those lines.

You'd also think Ian might offer to pay for any rehab considering his slow moving car caused the accident.

Yeah actually did he not have to work at McClunkys at one point for money or something
