Oh shit I forgot this was on at 8, I swear it used to be 9pm 😂

Taahino will win

A lot of people think everyone in the cast is linked/related in some way because of the family tree thing which would be fun 😂 I think the secret traitor is definitely a woman but it's too soon to speculate for me Also, did anyone clock Roxy shouting mum when they were rowing? That's a secret that's not going to be kept very long lol

I'm guessing Ethan is Libby's son?

Okay what a load of shite

omg that returnee

Cindy and Max enemies to lovers trope

Also if I have to hear one more innuendo regarding Santa and his chimney or his sack I really am giving up on this

Exactly, I mean she got Freddie sacked in the process which doesn't exactly scream "I want in with the Slaters" 😂

I only want AJ brought in if Tanya comes with her Tbf she's been bounced around relative to relative, no wonder she's "wild"

I mean they keep saying how busy the pub was, I suppose she could have blended in with the crowds, Zoe was unconscious as well so it's plausible it was Chrissy but yawn

Yea the more I think about it the more plot holes I remember, I just don't know how there's a way to pull it back now. Maybe Sophie and the kids come for Anthony's funeral (assuming he is dead) and we at least get answers for why she had a restraining order against him then. I'm just presuming it was her he was on the phone to when he said don't tell dad or whatever if it's not a secretly alive Paul. It is a real shame as despite Michelle Ryan's limited acting ability there was so much potential with having Zoe return, it could have gone so so differently and actually been the level of iconic they wanted. The Slaters are my favourite family, they have some of the best actresses as well yet they've basically just wiped it out.

That was shit A flashforward for new year as well??? I can't be arsed with the same old Max stuff, I was interested in him coming back to see his dynamic with Oscar, his grandkids and now Annie as well but that doesn't seem to be on the cards. Thank god for Jessie Wallace, she had to carry most of that, she deserves a Leticia Dean sized break after this year tbh. Why do I feel like Anthony just got up and walked away or something 😅 I was half expecting a Paul return with him being the father because Zoe hasn't actually said that Anthony is the dad, he's just assuming. The way they mentioned Paul beforehand and showing photos of all the dead folk at the beginning foreshadowed that (so I thought) but then again EE and their continuity hasnt been a thing recently 🤷🏼‍♀️ There's so many Jasmine question marks, why was her NI number fake? Why was she obsessed with Cindy? Why did she just tell this random woman who's just done 20 years in prison for murder that this other woman she's never met before is her birth mum, like??? Drunk Kathy was my only positive really

Yea that episode was really great, Phil, Julie and Nigel in particular did a fantastic job, first time in ages I've felt a bit emotional watching ee 😅

Yea Pat is definitely very missed although I'd still put Ronnie and Roxy above her in terms of characters they shouldn't have killed off I don't really like flash back/flash forward things, it's been so overdone by EE recently, it's just lazy writing to me. The only exception was the 6 storyline but that was because there was an actual plot and build up etc so it worked

I'm imagining tomorrow will be a Nigel centric episode? Similar to the Mitchell flash backs with Phil

They said AJ more times than boutique hotel this episode 😂 I really think they need a Tanya return at this point and she can bring AJ with her but I know Jo Joyner said she was booked and busy this year

Maybe it's Zoe's son that's doing all this, him and Jasmine have been in touch and have hatched a revenge plan together 😅

Genuinely, I think if the Christmas episodes are as shite as the lead up is there's going to be so many people just giving up on it, that seems to be the general consensus from what I've read online anyway. Having old characters return and be central in the main plot only works if they can act. I'm still holding out hope for Michelle Ryan because she hasn't been given much to work with but Anthony needs to piss off, I really struggle watching him. Even pairing him with good characters/actresses isn't helping. I mean, Bobby Brazier did a better job with little to no experience 😅

Maybe the Cindy obsession was just to get closer to Oscar but given how into Jasmine he has been from the start she really wouldn't need to have any sort of ulterior motive to be around him so even that doesn't make sense 😂 Try to keep a Slater away from a Branning challenge 🤭 Anthony being the dad also doesn't make sense, I'd rather it was some random tbh and also how does Jasmine even know Zoe is her mum ???

lmao today's episode, guess we all predicted that one
