Oh well, that's all right then.

Perhaps that's why we are already being prepared for a brain injury.

Very flat and disappointing end to the Christmas Day episode. There was lots going on and even a death, but it all made for very unsatisfying viewing.

as predicted it was fats, driving vincent's car why?

This inconsistency seriously needs an explanation! Fatboy was last seen walking off angrily after a confrontation with Vincent and Claudette, and next thing he offers to do them a favour and go for ice???!!!

As an aside, don't nightclubs have their own ice machines? They did when I worked in one a couple of decades ago and I can't imagine why that would have changed. Buying and storing ice would quickly get very expensive.

boarding school ian's answer to help bobby

How could Ian think a few rules will cure Bobby of what's obviously a psychiatric problem? Stupid and lazy writing!

And meanwhile, Max...........

I was waiting in vain for Jane to mention Max as the major reason to finally admit the truth...

Did the police actually interview Ian before arresting him? What evidence do they have that it was dangrous driving? Why did the police not get Ian into the car and just let Sharon shout at him?

I assumed at the time they'd interviewed him, but given the utter stupidity of the writing it wouldn't surprise me if they hadn't.

Perhaps that's why we are already being prepared for a brain injury.

How convenient would that be?


As to Claudette, I think it's now certain she's lied through her teeth about Eric and her husband, but I'm having a hard time caring at the moment.


(I don't think I've ever used the "head hitting a wall" emoticon so much in a post, but nothing else seemed apt enough to express my frustration.)

Sad it was fat boy who was killed. After watching the episode, I personally think he was dead before the crusher got him, because Vincent pushed the bloke off the Crusher. My theory is Arthur suffocated in the boot and for someone who was terrified of closed spaces, is a horrible way to die. I did feel sorry for Dot.

As for the Beale storyline I think that may be the last we see of Bobby for a while, maybe until Max comes out of prison? On a practical level are there not laws on how many hours child actors can work? I would imagine Elliott who plays Bobby has used those up?

The episode had an unpleasant, uneasy feel to it tonight.

If the police investigated properly with both Ian and Phil breath analysed plus their seat belt marks it would be obvious Phil was the driver instead I assume Phil and Sharon speaking to the police lead to Ian's arrest for dangerous driving

It is a shame that Fatboy was killed off, poor Dot, she lost Charlie and now Fatboy over Ronnie and Vincent she deserves to know the truth as does Fatboy's family

Why didn't Vincent tell Ronnie she was responsible for killing Fatboy, I was hoping Jack and Roxy would hear

Overall a very disappointing Christmas Day and Boxing Day episodes

Why didn't Vincent tell Ronnie she was responsible for killing Fatboy

He was saving Ronnie from the awful truth, and to be fair I don't think she intended for anyone to die. I think the henchmen found Fatboy dead and tried to get rid of the body as Vincent said.

However, Ronnie (and everyone else) needs to know the result of their childish wars was the horrific death of an innocent man.

or vincent is really in love with ronnie every though she wanted him dead

or vincent is really in love with ronnie

That would make more sense if he believes she only wanted to scare him.


I've just read on social media the theory that Claudette engineered Fatboy's death (presumably because Vincent told her Fatboy had betrayed them). That certainly explains why the latter came back and did her a favour after storming off. She could have persuaded him all would be forgiven and he could stay in Albert Square if he did something for her. But how would Claudette know what Ronnie was planning?

This theory admittedly makes for a more satisfying, if horrific, storyline. If Fatboy's death was deliberate on Claudette's part, she must be one of the worst villains ever to set foot in Albert Square!

she could be capable of that and with her being a foster mother she could have contacts but why not take out phil or other mitchells then herself with other foster sons who donna talks about

we need a flashback explanation if how fatboy meet his end why he was in vincent's car
