Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[Dazzle]

I don't mind Vincent with Kim and the adorable Pearl, their family dynamic works well, he needs to stop acting all macho and tough and keep well away for Ronnie

I think they make a nice family too. The chemistry between Vincent and Kim is very good. Shame it's obviously not going to last as he's going after Ronnie again (possibly on Claudette's orders?).

I'm fuming that the cameras we speculated might catch Dean out actually helped him catch Ronnie out! How I detest that smug ****!

(Embarrassingly, I wrote earlier today on the Roxy thread that I thought Ronnie really does love Charlie... )

donna really having a rant at carol over max for being a killer but don't mind dean the rapist hanging around

Is Phil's solicitor Ritchie not listed in the phonebook i.e. her office etc., Carol could get her contact information from that

There must be a reason Sharon's solicitor who is connected to Den is around again any chance she could be Sharon's real mother and also did she look at the Queen Vic like she was remembering something

[lizann]

buster and phil could be brothers is phil paying for shirley's flat he already coughed up lola's wages

Is Phil's solicitor Ritchie not listed in the phonebook i.e. her office etc., Carol could get her contact information from that

I was thinking that. Why didn't Carol just google Ritchie? Even if she doesn't know her full name, Ritchie isn't a common name so I'm sure she'd be fairly easy to find. She just immediately gave up when Phil said no!

I wonder why the police called at her house? Paranoid Jane immediately assumed the worst of course. She and Ian are taking it in turns to crack up.

There must be a reason Sharon's solicitor who is connected to Den is around again any chance she could be Sharon's real mother and also did she look at the Queen Vic like she was remembering something

There was definitely a significance to the lingering glance at the Vic. It seemed to me that she already knows who Sharon's dad is, and there must be a connection to the pub if that look was anything to go by.

My favourite theory is still that Pete was Sharon's dad making her and Ian siblings (remember one of the samples for the DNA test they did was corrupted but they bizarrely decided not to do another). As Pete was Den's best friend, that could explain Margaret's meaningful glance towards the Vic.

The overriding theory online (and probably the likeliest solution) is that Gavin (Kathy's husband) is Sharon's father. That would open up countless storyline possibilities given what we know about him from spoilers. Also, bringing him in with strong links with major characters already in place immediately makes him more interesting.

Since Claudette appears to be a bit of a villain, and Les is pretty dodgy himself, I'm wondering if their secret is something criminal?

[lizann]

well holy crap didn't expect that from cora and cindy now liam knows

[Dazzle]

Some brilliant twists and turns tonight.

I'm glad the blood in the car lot office hasn't been forgotten, and that Jane has a conscience. I think Ian does too but he's more terrified of losing his family. Will Liam's new-found knowledge come into play as Kim speculated on one of the spoiler threads?

Carol's attitude to Cora was callous.

[tammyy2j]

I think now Ian and Jane will try to convince themselves that it was Max's blow to Lucy that killed her not Bobby's blow

I am hoping Jane will confess she killed Lucy

I am worried for Cindy and Liam now, that Bobby is dangerous

At least Peter got a mention tonight but I thought Peter told Ian and Jane that he told Lauren everything before they left together, I am sure Peter filled Lauren in on everything at Lucy's graveside and if they know Max is arrested they would not let him stay in prison

[Glen1]

Seem to recall that according to the Pathologists report, the cause of Lucy's death was from a single blow to the head. This would probably help convince Jane and Ian of Max's guilt and Bobby's innocence. If Cindy's got any sense , she needs to be out of the Beale household a.s.a.p.

[Dazzle]

If Jane and Ian become convinced Max was responsible for Lucy's death after all, it's a good way for the writers to leave Max rotting in prison whilst not making the Beales completely unsympathetic.
