Monday at 20:264 days There’s honestly so much we could all say about the character of Zoe and the return and the exit?! It really does feel very sudden and rushed though. I mean we have what is it 3 episodes left of her and it’s almost like she’s going to be a secondary character in her own exit week. I wish things had went differently. I think if she had to die and Michelle actively put it out there she wanted that there was surely better ways of going about it and perhaps she could’ve stayed longer to get… something.Part of me wonders if it might’ve had more impact if they didn’t reveal it and as viewers we just seen Kat finding Zoe’s body. I mean they’d have had to also not release it in the AM too but imagine the genuine shock we’d have all had together. Anything feels better than what we’re getting?!

Even if they did just put out the ep at 6AM, the shock etc probably would've created a mass load of chat/ people scrambling to watch the ep.

I have faith Jessie Wallace especially will be fantastic throughout the episodes next week though so that’s something.

I get she may have signed up for just a year but why on Earth would you waste the last 8 months having her as a background character if you knew she’d be gone in advance? Then kill her off with basically no build up?Nah, this wasn’t the original plan and the dire response to her stalker/kids storyline sent them into panic mode where they quickly sidelined her. They just want to forget it ever happened. Why has she been off screen so much? As for killing her off being the only option-it clearly isn’t. She mentions that Zoe has developed and wouldn’t run away again but this Zoe hasn’t moved on from being a teenager so I think she pretty much would?As for today’s episode, I love Kim and Howie taking the wedding to the hospital, it wouldn’t be right if Denise wasn’t there. Looks like they’ll have not other massive drama at their wedding which is quite refreshing.Cindy has also been epic. The desperation, calling family ‘the dregs’ and being the most horrendous person, keep it coming. I like how her and Kim have become random rivals and long may it continue.Linda being really angry with Priya felt quite off tbh.
Tuesday at 11:503 days Whoever claimed she was going to get Missy booth'd weeks ago can you tell us what tonights lottery numbers are please 🙏

Basically cut the twins/ Alfie and Big Mo from the Slater/ Moon clan and as a unit they would dramatically improve. Jean has actually been better the last few months.

Never the same when she's not around. Alfie, his stupid twins, plus Zoe's kids? Flush
Tuesday at 15:033 days Has an EP ever brought a legend back just to kill them off when it wasn’t the initial plan? It just seems utter madness.

Tuesday at 19:143 days I am absolutely screaming st that being how Zoe dies 🤣 I don’t believe it was planned for a second, everything is too rushed and last minute to have been planned. If it has always been planned, surely they’d do an issue based storyline or something much bigger. For a Slater being killed off to be the B story is mental.
Tuesday at 19:313 days It does go to show that everyone talking about Zoe instead of Max having a heart attack that her death and lead up to it should be the main storyline, not sidelined in a week of weddings where it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Tuesday at 21:353 days Well we don’t really care about Max’s heart attack because he’s up and getting married again in the flashforward.There’s no way this Zoe stuff was planned in advance. There’s a lot that hasn’t and can’t be said. It’s all very unusual.Why isn’t anyone talking about Ian and there’s been no updates on him?Priya still carrying that huge bag round the wedding venue was ridiculous.
Tuesday at 21:423 days Maybe Max dies, the Zoe dying stuff is just a cover up and the flash forward is all a dream of what could have happened had Max made better choices.... 👀 The spoiler pictures that have been posted kinda confirm but I can live in hope x
Wednesday at 08:292 days It’s incredible to think Zoe survived being shot, locked in a burning room and and being knocked out by an angry Anthony Trueman who was intent on hurting her just last year and this is how she will actually die.
Wednesday at 09:012 days This episode was like a final slap in the face to Zoe, proving there’s been 0 character development the entire year and some of her last actions are going to be throwing a tantrum and acting like a teenager.
Wednesday at 11:322 days Hated those new Hawkins characters going in and starting on Kim and Howie's wedding. Just not needed.Hated Big Mo cutting Cindy and Max's cake and throwing it around. Again, who thought that would be a good scene?After a great Monday ep, Tuesday definitely fell short.
