Eastenders Spoilers 10th Aug-14th Aug

EastEnders' Cora Cross will return to Albert Square next week, but will struggle to reconnect with those closest to her.

Cora (Ann Mitchell) was last seen in April as she departed Walford following the death of her partner Stan Carter.

Although she left with the intention of living with her daughter Tanya, recent episodes have implied that did not go to plan, and upcoming scenes will see her spotted in a local homeless shelter.

After Jane offers to drive Carol and Abi to the location, they do not get the reaction they were expecting when Cora attempts to run away after seeing them.

Cindy is asked to look after Bobby for a while as Ian and Jane are both busy. With her world spiralling, Cindy heads out alone to get some fresh air and opens up to Liam about her worries. When she returns, she is horrified to see an upset Bobby about to put a brick through Max's car window. Cindy angrily grabs Bobby and drags him home, where the pair have a huge argument and Cindy finds herself being pushed over.

Later, Jane and Ian both return home to find an upset Cindy on the floor. It's clear that Cindy has had enough and she shares some home truths about Bobby. Ian defends his son, but it seems that Jane is also at the end of her tether and she vows to tell Carol the truth.

Jane marches over to the Butcher house and Ian does his best to stop her, but he has no luck and they soon find themselves standing before a confused Carol. Is Jane about to reveal the Beale family's dark secret?

Meanwhile, Cora is back on everyone's mind following the news that she has been spotted at a local homeless shelter. Carol, Jane and Abi visit the location and manage to find her, but they don't get the reaction they were expecting and Cora attempts to run away.

Cora eventually agrees to return to the Square after an emotional plea from Jane, but she still refuses to open up to her family or accept that they care about her.

Ian tries his best to keep his family together, but he soon finds himself back at square one when he learns a shocking truth.

As Ian struggles to come to terms with the news, he and Cindy come up with a plan to fix the problem - but will their idea work?

Meanwhile, Buster gives Vincent some friendly advice, urging him to be wary of the Mitchells. A concerned Vincent visits Ronnie and asks her if she told Buster about their kiss. Ronnie realises that someone must have been in the house at the time. When confronted about this, Roxy insists that things are over between her and Dean. Later on, Ronnie realises this isn't true, as Roxy is wearing a new top that she saw Dean buy from the market earlier.

Elsewhere, a dishevelled Les continues to struggle without Pam. Feeling guilty, Paul visits his grandad and they open up about their feelings.

When further evidence in the Lucy Beale investigation comes to light, the Beales find themselves at war with one another.

At the same time, Carol comes to a shocking realisation.

Meanwhile, Ronnie confronts her sister over Dean, forcing Roxy to come clean and admit that she is still seeing him. After a huge argument, Ronnie eventually apologises to Roxy and agrees to stay out of the relationship from now on. Despite this promise, Ronnie clearly has other ideas as she makes friends with the enemy and invites Dean over for dinner.

Dean hopes the drama is finally over, until Ronnie interferes again by warning him to not hurt her sister. Dean tells Roxy about this but is annoyed when she defends her sister. Finally snapping, Dean leaves Roxy stunned by revealing that Ronnie has been spying on her via a hidden CCTV camera.

Elsewhere, with Pam still away, a guilty Paul does his best to look after Les.


Airs Friday, Aug 14 2015 at 20:00 BST on BBC One

With her world falling apart, Jane finally realises what she needs to do to save her family. She puts her plan into motion, but how will Ian react when he finds out what she is up to?

Meanwhile, Carol struggles to come to terms with recent events.

Elsewhere, Roxy reels from her discovery.

Also today, Les remains angry at Paul. After losing his job at Blades, he calls Pam and desperately pleads with her to return home.

Yes! We get to see more of psycho Bobby! This week sounds the best so far. Judging by the sounds of it, it seems Jane and Ian have switched roles. Originally it was she who was in denial over Bobby's attitude, and Ian was the one worried, but according to this it seems now he's the one in denial and she's accepted the truth. (Took her long enough!)

No, it doesn't seem as if the Bobby story is going to be as long-term as I hoped from the above spoilers. I suppose, realistically, DTC is going to want to complete this story during his tenure. He's been EP for going on two years now, and they often don't stay longer than that.

However the story finally ends, the ramifications will be felt within the Beale family for years, that's for sure! :eek:



Yeah, there's no way they can go as extreme as the truly evil Kevin in the above film (I didn't make it until the end as I found it too disturbing, but I think he eventually went on the rampage and gunned down some schoolkids). I'd say DTC was inspired by the film rather than the Bobby story being a direct copy.

Just a small point of info Dazzle re "Kevin"
I was looking through some old spoilers for
ED( which I know you dont watch)
In the thread Chrissie White Sudgen there is
a very long interview dated March 2015with
the Actress who plays the part ( Louise Marwood).

In it she is musing on the problems of
dealing with her son Lachlan and mentions
she wonders if it could be a " We need to
talk about Kevin" issue. The producer isn't
mentioned but would usually have some input
into publicity for such a big new story .**
So all we need is S Blackburn to have a
"Kevin" moment and we have a hat-trick.!!
New soap ideas anyone!!

** The big story was his serious sexual assault
(.as a minor child) on.an adult women.
The character had been in trouble before the
family arrived in ED. He will shortly be tampering
with his grandads meds in order to frame
his step- father as the potential "murderer/
assailant"!!

I thought Lachlan was tampering with Lawrence´s medication to frame Robert so Robert leaves Emmerdale after all the upset he has caused ...?? Why would he want to kill his grandfather?

No.I dont know if Lachlan does actually WANt to
murder his grandfather and yes he does want
rid of Robert.He has a very strange personality
tho.

But messing with meds particularly of an"older"
person is a dangerous thing to do and can
have very serious consequences inc death.

Lachlan doesnt seem to me to be much of a
thinker or detailed planner.Just does what
occurs to him !

When I put murderer -it was to cover all likely
outcomes and if Robert was suspected-
Lachlan would probably think it a bonus!

And per latest spoilers the plan doesnt work
anyway??

Bobby lashes out at Cindy

An argument between the pair flares up when Cindy finds Bobby (Elliot Carrington) about to put a brick through Max Branning's car window.

Bobby is under the mistaken impression that Max killed his half-sister Lucy and wants revenge, still unaware of his own guilt in the tragic murder case.

Cindy tries to get Bobby back in line by grabbing him and dragging him home, but the youngster fights back by pushing her over.

The argument marks the beginning of a huge week for the Beales, which will see them become divided over Bobby's behaviour and the ongoing murder cover-up. Is it time for the family's dark secret to be revealed?

Tonight's episode sees Ronnie (Samantha Womack) force Roxy to come clean about how she is still seeing Dean, sparking a huge argument between them.

Fearful of pushing her too far, Ronnie is eventually forced to apologise to Roxy and invite Dean (Matt Di Angelo) over for dinner as a peace offering.

Roxy is delighted that Ronnie seems to be making an effort at last, but Dean sees that it's nothing more than a front when Ronnie privately warns him not to hurt her sister.

Dean is livid when he reports back to Roxy and she defends Ronnie, so he plays his ace card by telling her that Ronnie has been using a spycam to keep watch on her. Will this cause a rift between the Mitchell sisters?

Seriously, what does it take to get Ian and Jane to see the truth and accept what needs to be done?! Bobby's obviously a loose canon, and needs help. If he doesn't get it, he's just gonna get worse.

I'm amazed Ian doesn't take this seriously, as he went through kinda the same thing with Bobby's brother, Steven. They didn't see the signs soon enough, and he went loony as he got older.

I recall there's a psychological condition I once heard about, but I can't remember what it's called. It's basically where a person has a moment of utter violence, and then seemingly has no memory of it afterwards. The violent mood swings seem to come and go randomly. I wonder if that's what Bobby has. Certainly sounds like it.

<Will this cause a rift between the Mitchell sisters?>

Duh! Finding out your sister's been spying on you with cameras...that would cause a rift with anyone!

That would have been a really interesting condition to give Bobby, but unfortunately it doesn't fit with what happened with Lucy. He does remember attacking her but Jane convinced him she got up and went out afterwards - which is why he doesn't appear to know he killed her.

Found it! The condition is called Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), a behavioral disorder characterized by explosive outbursts of anger/rage. Aggressive acts are frequently reported accompanied by a sensation of relief and in some cases pleasure, but often followed by later remorse.

Seems I was wrong about the amnesia part. As I said, it says people with this condition feel remorse and such afterwards. Though I suppose there are people who after experiencing true remorse might block the memories of the incident.

Yes, IED would fit Bobby perfectly. Good thinking! :)

I have mixed feelings about tonight's episode. On the one hand I still can't believe Liam is selling out his own uncle for a crime he didn't commit (I still think Max is a jerk, but he doesn't deserve to go down for a crime he didn't do). Then again, after watching the scene where Ian manipulated them all, I can understand why he did. Ian certainly played them. I know he's only doing it to save his son, which I imagine any parent would do, but I couldn't help thinking what a scum he was tonight. Part of me was also gleeful watching as Liam demanded 100K from him, yet at the same time still feeling disgusted that Liam would send Max down.

I've been having a re-think again about Ian's upcoming suicide attempt in October. I thought maybe Bobby would get found out and Ian, so remorseful at having failed him, tries to jump. But I'm starting to wonder if that isn't the case. The news said that all the lies makes Ian reach boiling point, which could mean he's either still lying, or Bobby gets found out and he's dealing with the outcome. Since Liam is now blackmailing Ian, that'll definitely add to the pressure. (Does Ian even have 100K? Wasn't his businesses in trouble?) Getting the money together, then having to deal with the business outcome, and covering up for Bobby...that would certainly make anyone go looney. And Ian had a breakdown with intensive therapy not too long ago.

Although a parent's first instinct is to protect their child, I don't think many would go as far as allowing someone innocent to be convicted to a life sentence.

I enjoyed Liam's blackmail demand too. Ian seriously underestimated him! :D

At the moment, Liam's love for Cindy is overriding his feelings for Carol and Max. Whether he'll be able to go through with it is another matter. :searchme:

At the beginning of tonight's episode, Ian's arrogance truly astounded me. It's beyond pride and close to pure stupidity. I was disappointed when Liam and Cindy chose to just leave and not blackmail him. I was hoping they'd take him for all he's got. Though I did enjoy the ending, where Jane told Ian that they'd leave or he can be on his own. Personally I think they'd all be better off without him, though I have to say Jane was acting a little freaky. I wonder if she's finally gone round the twist?

Roxy was acting like an idiot again. Why is it she always goes for the psychos?

I think Jane and Ian's reactions are being laid on a bit thick now and getting totally unbelievable. I suppose stress will make people unpredictable, but Ian doesn't appear to be very worried - unlike Jane.

Like you, I was disappointed Liam dropped the idea of blackmail because Ian deserves a taste of his own medicine.

I thought it was quite a clever bit of writing when Ronnie compared Dean to Archie and Carl. It's true to character that Roxy keeps falling for men like her beloved father. She refuses to see them for what they really are. :wall:

<I think Jane and Ian's reactions are being laid on a bit thick now and getting totally unbelievable. I suppose stress will make people unpredictable, but Ian doesn't appear to be very worried - unlike Jane.>

Perhaps, but then again Ian has always been the arrogant/stupid type. He believes he's the big boss, and he has a tendency to not see the big problems right in front of him. Case in point: Bobby. All the problems with him are right there, yet Ian refuses to see them. Knowing him, he probably thinks this is something that Bobby will 'grow out of'.

Jane's reaction is actually more believable. All the stress and everything is obviously sending her round the bend. With this in mind, no matter how hard they try, realistically they won't be able to keep their secret for long. The secret (and deep fear they have but won't admit of Bobby) will gradually eat away at them.

As for Ian, don't forget that he's meant to try suicide in October, so obviously either something is gonna happen between now and then, or the stress starts eating away at him, too. Plus, there's supposed to be someone else who finds out the truth before long, so that'll add more stress. Eventually it'll come to the point where even Ian won't be able to hide from it. He's set himself up high above everyone else with his arrogance, looking down on everyone. The problem with that strategy, though, is that the higher you climb, the bigger the fall. And something tells me, Ian is gonna come down hard.

Tbh, I think Roxy needs constant surveillance. Everytime she tries doing something for herself, she ends up in bed with a psycho or worse. And the only time when she ever got a good man was Alfie, and even a blind person could tell that he was really still in love with Kat all that time! I hate to say it, but the poor woman's hopeless!
