There should be some spoilers released later today, which should be for the W/B 31st Aug - will be interesting to see if she's mentioned.

Maybe you're right though; she had a few weeks off, wanted more and they said no so she quit and didn't return.

I've seen the magazine spoilers and it's all Max's stag do, Linda, Ravi, Priya and Vicki. She could be back next week (24th August) as Kat and Alfie are mentioned throughout the week but the focus will mainly be on Denise it seems.

Yeah next week seems to be Denise's' long lost brother turning up; looks like a lot of angry Jack coming up

When the actress who played Debbie Bates, Nigel’s first wife, quit she apparently just went into the office and said ‘write me out now, kill me off, I don’t want to do this anymore’ and so she had an off screen death. I definitely think this is what’s happened with Michelle Ryan. She’s had enough, doesn’t want to film anymore and doesn’t ever want to come back.

Priya carrying about a gigantic empty handbag for weeks has been the most entertaining thing tbh, they're trying to cover her irl pregnancy in the most obvious possible ways 😂

Tommy just coming back like btw Zoe died at Lynne’s xxxx would be so camp and I half expect it now

Bitten by a rabid puppy, I assume mini mo went with her too?

"A bit of De Niro?"

"Which one is that again?"

Vicky and Sharon making a runner with the booze and ditching Cindy

^ Couple of moments that made me chuckle 😄

Also, this is the most I've enjoyed Cindy since her return.

Mini Mo should run away one night and Kat believes that this is an omen that something has happened to Zoe. Alfie tries to reassure her that nothing is going to happen to Zoe whilst Jean cooks up a sausage surprise to take everyone’s mind off it. Tommy somehow materialises in Walford the next day with news that Zoe passed away in the evening around the time Mini Mo disappeared.

Mini Mo is never seen or heard from again. Like Dave the cat.

While its likely it could have been that way Michelle was more high profile so going this way really doesnt look good plus Michelle and Jessie seem to be friends off screen so it would kind of let Jessie down aswell as Jessie spoke so fondly of Michelle returning.

Its hard to know, maybe one we will find out what really happened but one thing we do know is id say Michelle 1000% regrets going back.

I just don’t think they’d sideline Zoe in her own exit. I guess maybe they would if she’d done something truly terrible behind the scenes but I’d imagine she just wanted to stop. It’s odd they announced she’d filmed her final scenes but there’s been no announcement that they’ve actually aired but I suspect they have. They absolutely screwed this up and for a character so many had been asking to return for years.

First photos of Janine are out there too-arguing with Linda of course.

It looms.

I think with Sean coming back, he might end up taking over the Vic - or at least helping to protect Stacey's investment - and also probably buy Jean's house, given he is successful.

I can see the Hawkin's injecting money into Harry's Barn though and taking that over, given Nicola and George's own money issues

Very refreshing to have Jean not treat Priya with contempt around the affair. Priya is such a great character and interacts so well with everyone. I shall miss her when Sophie is on maternity leave (the pregnancy cover ups were a little too obvious today!)

Yeah but remember how we all moaned about how predictable it was that Zoe was going to be revealed as Joel’s mum? And that actually would have been a better story than what we got.
