Lindsey.

I don't remember people being too thrilled about her getting with a high schooler either 😅

Omg the upgrade has done this thread so dirty, it took me ten years just to get to the end 😭

Actually quite looking forward to Bex returning, she'll maybe come into her own more now that she's not a teenager etc, they can remould her completely if they wanted to. I imagine that might tie in with Sonia's exit too? She might just leave with her.

Done my bit x

Predicting Dobago to do well (top ten at least) but other than that I'm really not sure what way it could go but I've only heard semi 2 so far, Aelandor potentially too

I think having Stacey lose two men that she properly loved and was meant to be with is a poor move as its going to limit where she can go in the future. Martin himself was kind of boring but he did slot in so well and impacted a lot of other characters, I guess them having to do obviously remind everyone of his place in EE in the lead up was ultimately what gave away the fact they were gonna kill him off. I'm just sad for Stacey more than anything. Laurens family tree comment was great, all three of them provided some much needed comic relief between the Martin scenes.

That was really sad :( Lacey is incredible

Yea I can't really see any way past that outcome unfortunately, it's so sad for Stacey though especially when she's already lost Bradley etc but idk how they can pair her with anyone else, even Keerat wasn't quite it for her I think they should keep him alive, the Knights decide they don't want to live in the Vic anymore once it's rebuilt and somehow the Slaters take residence - Stacey and Martin as the landlady and landlord... in an ideal EastEnders world :lol: The Vic has been missing a really solid legacy family that's on par with the Mitchells, even the Carters fell a little short tbh

Has he quit?

Veto for semi 2 tomorrow bc EastEnders live is on xxxx

Oh the creators, I thought it was Julia after the theme tune/exit tune whichever it is

Omg Reiss being squashed by a bathtub of all things was iconic since he most likely tried to kill Debbie in the bath, kind of a full circle moment I guess? His creepy "I hear congratulations are in order" too :lol: I think his scenes with Bianca/Lauren/Sonia were up there with my favourites from that episode, Bianca with her rolling pin too :lol: Phil was incredible and it was SO nice to see Linda in that role for him too, Grant was bloody useless but at least the Facebook mums will be happy he's at least on their screens again :kink: I love Stacey and Martin together, I enjoyed their scenes and I don't even care that Stacey was really picking her moment but I guess it's a life or death situation so I can understand why she wanted to make sure they both said everything they had to. I thought it would end with Stacey getting out then the whole building going down on Martin but I guess there's still hope for his survival, just without legs?? He's not a character I'm huge on but I'd be sad if he died now actually just because of Stacey Surprisingly I voted for Jack, mainly because I'd rather put Ravi with Priya. Will probs go Julia for the name, What is Toni in reference to? The only one I can think of is the one that abused Whitney...

Oh coma Stacey is a good shout for her maternity leave actually or what if they kill off Jean and she just goes to live with Sean for a while to grieve etc oh no Surely there has to be more to the Kathy thing, idk why Ian thought it was Peter? Tbh I'm happy as long as they leave the Slaters alone

Yea I think Martin is going to be very central to this given he was the first baby born on EastEnders, it's also his 40th birthday coming up, the Stacey vs Ruby storyline and the Market thing to fuel his hero complex. I think he'll possibly die saving Stacey and/or Ruby or one of them will die. We know Louisa is leaving so maybe that's why, I think if they killed Stacey off it would be worse than even killing Ronnie and Roxy. Also a moment of appreciation for hurricane Kim soaking Sharon :lol:

Thinking about how shit she was in the 6 storyline having her go all out as an attempted murderer on her own is ridiculous really, I'd have taken legit anyone other than her or Ian :lol:

I don't buy that reveal at all :lol: Pretty much everyone was in the Vic there, Sharon being upstairs, Lauren and Sonia in the iamspamspamami I just knew they were setting up the explosion from the gas cans at the start and then placing everyone in random rooms in the Vic

I will say Cindy Jr is a good shout, especially after Martin's comments about Cindy's kids feeling betrayed so have that motive etc - most people will forget about Cindy Jr since she's not on screen but idk if "YOu?! :arrr: " would be the appropriate reaction there since Cindy hasn't actually met her since she returned (right? or did she go away to see her for a day trip or something?? Icr) - that felt like an "I hate you so of course it was you" response. Maybe it's Jane, I feel like after Bobby she wouldn't make a habit of hitting anyone over the head and the motive there is a bit flakey, plus she's had her return, I think that would be more plausible than Max though.

Quite a few I recognise here!! I reckon this contest is gonna be a whole step flight of stairs up from last month :cheer:

do we have an eta for semis?

mon then, i'm ready x

Of course that's one of the few contests I missed! I definitely would have been giving top points to PPP there

Great cameo in today's ep!

Omg that was the best episode we've had in ages purely for Bianca's return, that's what soaps are about!! :lol:

Let's GO

Idek what night it is :lol:
