"You'll Never See Your Little Boy Again!"

Friday 23rd October 2020

Hello again everyone! This will be my final post of the week, I realise it's also late but I hope that now I'm up to date, I can focus more on being on time with next week's posts. I'm looking forward to reviewing this episode as the previous was full of drama, here's hoping this one will be the same!! Let's head straight into it!

The episode starts pretty much where the previous one left off regarding Stacey. Martin and Ruby are enjoying quality time with the children, the sounds of children's laughter can be heard. Martin looks over at his wife and smiles happily that they've finally been able to spend time together with the children. Suddenly Ruby's phone pings and we can that she's received a message from an unknown number with the text "She got the message!" with a photo of Stacey on the floor. So it WAS Ruby who planned the attack on Stacey!! Now Stacey is NOT stupid, she is going to know that Ruby will be behind it! But in all seriousness what steps can she take next? If Ruby is turning to violence, then maybe Stacey needs to play dirty too?! Unbeknown to Martin, his ex-wife he sat outside trying to recover from her shock. As Stacey gets herself together Kheerat finds her and asks if she's okay and if she needs help. Stacey isn't interested in anything but confronting Ruby, but Kheerat is insistent that she gets her wounds looked at, he informs her that his office is just few doors down, he can take a look at it before she goes barging in and confronting Ruby.

The conversation between Phil, Denise, Jack and Ritchie is still ongoing! Phil is eager to get Denise on side, she asks whether the police can help them but unfortunately if they do, it would only mean Raymond going into care. The only way they have any chance of getting Raymond away from Ellie legally is if she agrees to take part in a private fostering arrangement, but they need her to make her decision tonight! They need to act fast for their son. Jack insists that he and Denise need to discuss this in more depth alone, which Phil agrees, but he urges Denise to do the right thing and she hasn't got long to decide.

At the Allotment, Sharon has taken some time on her own to be with Dennis's belongings. Its obvious she still very much misses her son terribly. She holds his hoody close to her, next to her is his wallet, she takes a look inside and pulls out to find the football ticket to West Ham United she bought him before his death. She sighs softly and beings to sob into her sons hoody.

Meanwhile at Kheerat's office, he's managed to persuade Stacey to get her wounds cleaned. Stacey has seemed to have calmed down a bit but she wants to make sure she leaves with enough time to give Ruby what for! Kheerat asks what the whole situation was about and Stacey is surprised that he wants to know, so she explains to him what basically started the whole feud. Can I also just say, it's nice to see two characters such as Kheerat and Stacey, who have very rarely shared a scene, come together like this. As she finishes off cleaning herself up, she gets herself together and makes her way to leave. Kheerat stops her in the tracks and tells her a really good point, the only person who'll be seen as the bad one for ruining the children's night will be her if she barges in on them. She be playing to Ruby's tune basically, if she looks bad in front of her kids, Ruby will only look to be the better outcome. Stacey knows that he has a point, she'll have to play just as dirty and put on a show in front of her children.

At the Mitchell household, Callum and Ben are discussing Phil's chance on getting Raymond. Their concern is if Jack won't agree then there could be a chance that Denise won't agree also and their chance of getting Raymond will be gone. As Phil returns home, both Callum and Ben are eager to hear whether he has any news, he informs them both that she's thinking about it, but where Jack is concerned, he wasn't best pleased to see Phil. Its then that Phil informs them that he needs Callum's help, tonight! Ellie isn't going to sign Raymond over willingly, so they need to find a way to scare her into doing so. Phil pleads to Callum to try and find something that they can use to scare her in an attempt to get Raymond. Will Callum be able to do what he's asking. Over on the other side of the Square, Jack and Denise are also discussing Ellie and Raymond. Jack also knows that Ellie won't had over her Grandson easily, but Jack's concern is also them not being able to carry on their lives without Phil Mitchell in it. In all honesty, Phil won't have anything to do with Denise and Jack themselves, just Raymond - so I don't see what Jack's problem is. If Raymond was his son, wouldn't he be doing the same thing?! He leaves Denise to be alone with her thoughts as he goes to the Vic.

Eventually, Sharon finds her way back to the pub, clutching hold of her deceased sons clothing. Ian is quick to approach her and ask if she's okay. He notices what she's carrying and his face looks as if he's seen a ghost. He assures his friend that he'll be there for her if she needs anything. Sharon smiles softly, thanks her friend and heads on upstairs. As she leaves, Ian once again looks guilty to the core and perhaps a little scared. I know this might sound incredibly daft, but with Dennis's belongings back in the Vic, will Ian end up getting the feeling that he's being haunted by Dennis's ghost? Who knows? Lucy haunted her younger brother, Bobby. Could it also happen to Ian? Which will eventually cause him into revealing the truth to Sharon about how her son actually died.  

Oh gosh the next scene really tugged at my heart strings! It's been such a long time since Stacey has talked about Bradley to anyone! She begins to explain to Kheerat about all the blokes she has had in the past, how it never meant anything other than sex. Until she met Bradley! I think Stacey will always have a place in her heart for Bradley. He was her first love. Okay their relationship was never simple, but I truly feel that they loved each other more than anything in their life. The night Bradley died will always be with her - as she reveals to Kheerat that he died because of her. Which is kind of true, but it happened out of love. It made me a little bit teary when Stacey got a upset - I think everyone loved Stacey and Bradley together, they were such a perfect couple. I do miss Bradley and I'd love to see him return to the Square, but of course that will sadly never happen!

Back at the Mitchell household, it looks as if Denise has made her mind up, she walks into their living room silently, Phil is on edge waiting to hear her decision. She then states that she's in and the only way they can do this if they support each other, no more fights, everything they do will be for Raymond. They both agree to join forces and do what's right by their son. Ben's concern however is Jack, but Denise informs them that she will deal with Jack, hopefully she'll be able to make him see sense! But as this conversation is taking place, Callum is at the police station and has hacked into DI Thompson's account to get information on Ellie. Unfortunately, DI Thompson catches him in the act and warns him that what he is doing could be a sackable offence, Callum claims that the only way they can get Phil behind bars, is if he trusts him. Callum needs to make sure that Phil can trust him - DI Thompson agrees and allows Callum to continue using his account to find out what he needs to know. However, I'm still unsure whether Callum is really working with his colleague or not?! Part of me is thinking that maybe Callum will dupe his boss into thinking that he's helping them, and will be more on Phil's side. But then also things may go wrong and he may feel like he has no choice?! What do you guys think? Will Callum play dirty with the police or with Phil?!

Back at the Vic, Sharon is drowning her sorrows as she sits alone with Dennis's clothes. Ian finds her and makes a quiet entrance to make sure she's okay. He passes over to her a birthday card (I had no idea it was her birthday!) What a birthday she's had, receiving her deceased son's clothing from the scene of his death. Absolutely devastating! This is where both Sharon and Ian both come together after such a long time of misunderstanding and hatred. Sharon recalls on how Ian was there for her during the days after Dennis died, and she will forever be grateful to her friend supporting her in her time of need. She asks him whether things can go back to the way they were between them and Ian is more than happy to oblige and confirms that he wants the same thing. As lovely as this scene is, something tells me that their happiness and friendship isn't going to last long - I mean, how long can Ian hide the fact that he's to blame for her son's death?! Secrets always come out in the end!

Back at Kheerat's office, Stacey is wiping away her tears and apologising for getting emotional, but it's understandable. She lost Bradley a long time ago and now she must feel like she's lost Martin also. Kheerat can sympathise with her as he admits that he also loved someone who tragically died, revealing her identity to Stacey - Chantelle Atkins. Stacey appears surprised but also gives her condolences to Kheerat. She goes on to compliment him, saying he's a nice bloke and anyone would be lucky to have him. Its then that their eyes meet and Stacey instructs Kheerat to shut the door, as he does so she informs him that what's about to happen with just be for tonight, when tomorrow morning comes, she won't even acknowledge him in the street. With their mutual understanding, they sleep together! Okay another pairing I never thought I'd see, but maybe this could be something? Kheerat and Stacey? What do you guys think?!

After being with the Mitchell, Denise enters the Vic to find Jack and without a word, he can see that she's agreed to help Phil. Jack at first seems disappointed and let down. He begins to ask her where he fits into her plans - sorry but, this has nothing to do with Jack, if Denise wants to fight for her son, she can! She doesn't need his permission! - Anyway, Denise tries to plead to her boyfriend, she tells him that she loves him and she would never do anything to put him and his children in danger. She does however ask him whether he can stand by her as she fights for her son, as what she wants is to bring Raymond up with Jack and make him a part of their family. I think much to Jack's annoyance, he will stand by Denise. Any parent would want to fight for their children, right? Surely Jack will be able to understand that and support his girlfriend?!

The final scene of this episode, Phil is waiting patiently in the Arches. Ellie suddenly marches right in, expecting there to be some kind of confrontation between them. However, Phil holds his hands up and admits he doesn't want a war. He informs Ellie that he will give her the money for Raymond. But being the vindictive woman that she is, she informs him she's adding tax onto the payment for messing her around! Phil is absolutely staggered, but before she can leave the building he agrees to her terms. Only if she can give him a few more days to get the money together, but Ellie makes it even harder for him and informs him that she wants the money by tomorrow, otherwise he'll never get to see Raymond ever again!

My first thought to this is, what is Phil playing at? But then I also think he must have some kind of plan? No way would he give her so much money! There must be some kind of plan in place, is she duping Ellie in an attempt of tricking her to get Raymond?! But now with Denise on side, what's going to happen? Considering Ellie has also given him a deadline, I think he knows he's going to have to act fast, whatever the plan may be!!! Ooooo I'm excited to see what next week has in store! Thank you guys for reading, I hope you enjoy this post as much as I have! I'll be back on Monday! Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone! xXx

"You Want A War?! You Got One!"

Tuesday 20th October 2020

Hello again folks! Hope you're having a good day so far! I really enjoyed writing about Monday's episode, I'm really hoping Tuesday's will be just as good. My plan was going to attempt two blog posts today but  I've decided it will be a lot easier for me to do one post a night. Seeing as I'm not working on Saturday, I can write up about Friday's episode then and follow tonight's episode tomorrow. That will leave me with next week not being behind, I hope I've not annoyed any of you with this, and I apologise in advance if I have. But I just want to do the best I can with this blog and I just want let to you guys know that I am still committed to do this 100% ... life just seems to get in the way sometimes. Anyway, let's jump right into Tuesday's episode and see what's going on in Walford!

The episode starts with Phil still reeling from the recent news he's learned about Ellie. Ben is adamant that his Dad shouldn't be going in with all guns blazing, he even asks his Dad if he wants him to go along. But Phil instructs his son to get things in the house ready for a 3 year old, as not matter what, he'll be bringing Raymond home! But something tells me, it's not going to be as simple as that! Is going to be walking into a war or a trap? We already know the Ellie was to blame for Raymond's parents passing away, what is she going to do next?

At the Beale household, Ian finds Peter and informs him that he has transferred some money into his account, not just his allowance but a little extra. Is he literally buying his son's silence?! I'd like to think Peter is smarter than that, maybe in time he'll come to realise that his Dad is lying to them all. As Ian leaves, Kathy can be seen doing her make-up, getting herself ready for her date with Iain. She confides in her Grandson that she's feeling nervous, more to the fact that the fella doesn't even know her real age. Peter tells his Gran not to worry and that the date will go smoothly. Just as Peter happens to mention the word "Date" - Bobby appears and is shocked to hear that his Gran is going out to meet some stranger, but I think the main issue is that he's upset she's going outside during a pandemic and after taking precautions during lockdown, she should be careful as she's vulnerable. Something tells me that this has something to do with Bobby's OCD storyline, recently he's been constantly reminding everybody to wash their hands and be careful, I might be jumping the gun here, but are EastEnders going to make Coronavirus a storyline? Meaning, is Kathy going to catch it while going on her date and become really unwell, or will Bobby end up getting it after being incredibly careful. Who knows? I could be completely wrong, but it would be an interesting outcome, don't you guys think?!

Meanwhile, in the Vic Stacey and Kat are cleaning whilst Lily sits and watches as she's playing on her tablet. This was a very interesting conversation between Stacey and Kat. Kat just happens to mention that she saw Ruby with a designer handbag that Martin has supposedly bought her for her birthday. Stacey seems a little upset by this news and she appears jealous as she mentions that the best presents that Martin ever bought her were a CD and paint! It's the next part which Lily seems to listen really closely too, she's obviously aware that her Mum is feeling sad about Martin and Ruby being together, but to let off some steam, Stacey will shout and probably say things that she doesn't mean, it's then she mentions Ruby having "Daddy issues" and she's had them ever since her Dad saved the wrong daughter in a house fire. Lily picks up on what her Mother has said, what is she going to do with this new information?!

At the Cafe, Habiba is eager to get Ash and Iqra on side to go to court with her to support Jags. Ash reveals that Suki and Kheerat are going and everyone thought it was best if no else went. Habiba is saddened to hear that Ash isn't doing anything to save her brother. Everyone knows that Jags is innocent, but no one is willing to tell the truth. Iqra offers to go with her sister for support, Habiba accepts and they both leave to head off to court.

In the Arches, Phil is looking that he's waiting for someone, checking his watch and the clock on the wall. Suddenly, Ellie walks in, personally, I feel there's going to be some kind of row going on, but Phil plays the sympathy/guilty card. Explaining that he knows everything regarding the car crash that Raymond's parents were in. He tries to convince her that Raymond would be better off with him and his family, he'll be safer - seeing as Ellie has put her Grandson's life in danger and what's going to stop her from doing it again?! Ellie then plays dirty, she scoffs at Phil's words, informing him that she has also done her homework and found out everything about Ben, Louise and even Dennis. Phil looks a little bit defeated that he's been caught out, but then Ellie changes her tune, she admits that she can see how much Raymond means to him, and she even goes on to say that she'll let Phil have him. Phil, however, does look a bit suspicious, what's the catch?! Oh - only £150,000! Ellie announces she'll let him have Raymond for 150 grand!!! How the hell is Phil going to find that kind of money?!

Meanwhile at the restaurant, Kathy is preparing herself for her date, she takes a deep breath and turns the corner to find a - dare I say - dashing gentleman waiting at a table. He spots her and he seems really happy to see her, clearly a little nervous but ever more happy to see her turn up. As Kathy takes a seat you can see she is also nervous, mainly due to the fact that the poor man isn't aware of her real age. He makes a point about going on dates and ending up being catfished, meaning that the person who turns up doesn't turn out to be who they make out they are online. Kathy can only give a small smile, she must be feeling a little guilty, perhaps feeling that she's leading the poor guy on. Something tells me she might come clean by the end of her date, but who knows? Will it be a success?!

At the Prince Albert, Ash and Peter - surprisingly two other characters I never thought we'd see share a scene. But from what I can make out, they both have a little bit in common, Ash is wallowing her thoughts and fears about her brother going to prison for something he didn't do. Peter is also battling demons about his own Dad, wondering whether to trust him or not. They're both dealing with deep family issues right now, and it looks as if as they continue their conversation, they have some mutual understanding of each other and what the other is going through. I could be looking into something that isn't there, but do I sense a bit of flirtation as Peter offers to buy her a drink? I mean, sure, anyone can offer someone a drink without it be flirtatious, but I don't know - something told me that maybe there might've been something there. But who knows, Ash I believe is happy with Iqra, so who knows what could happen? This is EastEnders after all!

Back at the restaurant, it looks as if Kathy's date with Iain is going brilliantly! They're both giggling and enjoying each other's company. But it looks as if Iain is asking Kathy really awkward questions, questions which are having to make her lie about her family, such as Peter being her son instead of Grandson. Is she going to keep up the pretence that she's younger than what she actually is?! I mean, I said it last night, Kathy is looking fabulous at 70 and she shouldn't be afraid to be proud of her age! I think Kathy is a stunning looking woman, gorgeous hair with a beautiful dress sense, with a gorgeous smile - what's not to like? Who cares if she's 70? I hope eventually Kathy will admit the truth and hopefully Iain won't find the age-gap a big deal! Kathy deserves some happiness! Later on as they leave the restaurant together, Kathy invites Iain to the Prince Albert, things are looking great when suddenly Kathy takes a nasty tumble as she twists her ankle and falls to the floor. Ash, Peter and Bobby rush to Kathy's aid insisting that she needs to go the hospital to get herself looked at. Iain is a bit blaséabout it, saying she "Just tripped" - something you do never say when a woman falls over! In my opinion, if a woman ever falls over, people should do the decent thing and make sure she's okay - no matter what her age may be! As Peter and Ash plead Kathy to go the hospital, it's then that Peter slips up and calls her "Gran" - much to Iain's surprise, it's then that Kathy admits her real age and admits she's feeling incredibly foolish. I feel sad for Kathy at this point, everything was going so well before her nasty fall - I hope Iain will maybe look past it, but who knows? Did any of you also notice that when Bobby saw his Nan fall, he started counting, clearly to cope and calm his breathing after what he's just witnessed.

At the club, Stacey is looking for Martin, but Ruby appears to be in the middle of something with a supplier, she's refusing to sign for items she didn't order. Stacey watches on as she's being hounded by the delivery driver, surprisingly she stands up for her ex-friend and basically tells the delivery guy to do one! Ruby seems surprised that she's stood up for her, in an attempt to rekindle their friendship, she asks her friend to stay for a drink. As Stacey and Ruby are drinking, it looks as if things aren't going to be as easy as saying "Sorry!" - they are both really strong feisty females and to be fair, they have both done wrong to each other in recent months. Stacey makes the valid point that any man in Stacey's life, Ruby also seems to get her hands on - Sean, Max, Martin, but then again Ruby comes back with another valid point, that she didn't pretend to be her! It's true that they are both best friends and they're the only friend's each of them has got right now, will they be able to look past everything that's happened and move on?

Meanwhile, in the Vic, Habiba is looking absolutely heartbroken, it looks as if Jags has been sentenced to four years in prison for his attack on Martin Fowler. Habiba is devastated that her boyfriend has gone down for something he didn't do, she announces to her sister how much she hates the Panesar family for watching and doing nothing to save Jags. It's then she informs Iqra that she no longer wants Ash living with them. Is Iqra going to be forced to make a huge decision, whether to ask her girlfriend to leave or whether to move out with her girlfriend and leave Habiba alone. Back at the club, Suki and Vinny are also discussing Jags, Vinny is still adamant that he should've taken Jag's place, but Suki shrugs it off and tells him to man up, prison will be the making of Jags - apparently.

As soon as Suki leaves the club, the camera spans across and we find Stacey and Ruby again. Stacey is quick to say that she needs to get off to find Lily. But suddenly, Lily walks in admitting that she's been in the club office the whole time, both Ruby and Stacey are shocked to find her. Stacey is quick to ger home but Lily - oooh she's become such a little madam hasn't she - She's can't understand why her Mum and Ruby are now socialising? She opens her mouth and puts her Mum right in it, revealing what Stacey had said about her previously to their meeting. Stacey is horrified with her daughter, Ruby is just as shocked. It's then that Ruby begins to play the evil stepmum, she promises Lily can have a takeaway with herself and Martin whenever she likes, much to Stacey's annoyance. Stacey gives Ruby a warning, she is nothing to Lily and never will be and she warns her to stay away! Something tells me it's going to be a long time until Ruby and Stacey are friends again, something is also telling me that somehow it'll affect the children. Also I'm thinking that Lily is going to become a very twisted little girl, causing so much trouble and causing havoc in her family, ruining relationships and perhaps spreading lies about everyone. What do you guys think of the new Lily?! It's going to be quite a while to get used to, Lily was such a lovely little girl and now she's turned into such a spoilt brat!

Back at Beale household, Bobby can be seen once again cleaning extravagantly. Wearing gloves and counting the amount of times he's wiping the picture frame. Peter comes in and calls out to him, informing that their Gran has been in agony since her fall. He walks in to find vases and picture frames placed on dining room table, Bobby is breathless as he violently wipes clean every inch of the vase, counting to five as he does so. I've never been one to understand OCD, but it must be hell to live with, but then again I guess I kind of have the understanding that the people feel the need to do things until they feel completely safe. Peter looked concerned for his brother, will he confide in his Dad or Nan about what he's witnessed?!

The final scene of this episode, Phil has gotten the money together to give to Ellie. He walks in the Arches to find Ellie waiting for him, without Raymond! Ben quickly follows his Dad to see what's going on. Phil throws the duffle bag with 80 grand inside, insisting that he needs more time to get the rest. Ellie seems very unimpressed but it's only when Ben begins to plead to his Dad to not give Ellie more money that she starts to squirm. Ben makes a very good point that she could bleed Phil dry for years at the promise of getting Raymond eventually. Part of me is hoping that Phil will listen to his son, as much as Phil is desperate to be reunited with his son, he can't afford to lose all his money. He can't risk giving the money to Ellie, to then have her do a runner and not keep her word. Phil agrees with Ben and informs Ellie that she's not going to receive another penny from him! If Phil wants Raymond, he's going to do things properly with solicitors and possibly even take Ellie to court - it looks as if we've got a custody battle on our hands!!! Ooooh I am so looking forward to seeing the outcome of this! What do you guys think? Will Phil eventually be able to welcome Raymond back into his life? Or is there going to be many dark twists and turns along the way?!

Thank you guys for reading! I hope you're enjoying my blog. I'll be back tomorrow following tonight's episode! Thank you for your continued support! Enjoy the rest of your week! Love you all xXx

"I Am! - I Am!"

Friday 25th September 2020

Hello again everyone, I just want to thank you all for being so patient with me. This will be my last post this week, this will cover last night's episode and I'll finally all up to date with you all. Before I delve into the episode, I'm going to share some recent news with you - as I'm sure you've all been made aware by now that there's going to another new character coming to the Square. It is yet to be announced who this character will be named, all we know is that she is played by Simone Lahbib, and her appearing on the Square is going to make a lasting impact on the Carter family, and will especially be a huge part in an important storyline involving Mick. Who is she and what brings her to Walford? We'll be seeing Simone join the Square next month! Are you excited to see what she brings to the Square? I sure am!

Friday's episode starts with Gray being visited by a police officer. At first we see a gap in a section of some cupboards, at first I wasn't quite sure what I was looking at, but as Gray entered the room, it all make sense. Gray is instantly looking concerned as the Detective tells him that they've been given a name of a possible suspect in Chantelle's death, Gray's face looks like he's about to be grilled by the police, he's surprised when they then mention Kheerat Panesar's name. But you can his head spinning, can he turn this all around and set him up for the blame of the death of his wife? Gray reveals to the police that Kheerat wanted Chantelle to leave him, but Chantelle refused. Surprisingly, he tells the police that he's sure that Kheerat would not have hurt her, why would he tell them that? 

At home, Amy is telling her Dad that she doesn't want to go to school, because she has a headache. Jack is convinced that she's being bullied again, but Denise knows exactly why Amy is making up excuses for not wanting to go to school. Denise watches from the across the room, and decides to get her level, perhaps trying to understand the youngster. Denise tries to understand and says it's because of Isaac, and promises her that everything will be okay and they'll be able to find another tutor for her. Amy then pipes up, she claims she doesn't even like him and that he's a "Pot-Head!" It's then that Jack overhears what his daughter has said .... (That makes sense! As viewers saw in the previous episode, after Isaac said Good Morning to Amy, he spotted some pot lurking around on the playground, he picked it up and joked to Denise that he was going to take some. From across the yard, unbeknown to them, Amy had seen everything!) ... of course her Dad and Denise are both shocked by her claims, Denise is sure that Amy is making things up but she reveals that she's seen him smoking weed. Obviously, this doesn't sit right with Jack and Denise. 

On the Square, Stacey is still trying to make amends with her Mum, she offers to take her Mum out for a nice meal, but Jean still doesn't want to know. It's true she probably felt abandoned by Stacey when she went away, it's going to take a lot more than a nice lunch. Stacey says that they can give everyone they've lost a toast - Daniel, Hayley, Cherry - but Jean makes a very important point, she has already said her Goodbyes to those that she cares about, and that was the time that she really needed her daughter the most. Stacey really looks like that she's running out of ideas, what is it going to take for her Mum to talk to her again? From across the Square, Martin and Ruby watch on. Ruby sees how Martin is looking at Stacey, she tells him if he still has feelings for her, it's best he tells her now before anyone gets hurt, he promises that it doesn't matter that she's back, it doesn't change anything. 

Meanwhile, Jack has taken the information from Amy and decided to confront Isaac, he instantly denies the accusations and Jack tells him not to call his daughter a liar. Denise tries to step in, informing Jack that he did find some gear but was going to hand it in, which he obviously didn't. He reveals that instead of handing it in to the police, he threw it in the bin. Isaac figures out that reason she's got the hump is because she has a crush on him and he also tells Jack that that is also the reason why he stopped tutoring her. Isaac looks for Denise for back-up, Denise admits that what Isaac is saying is true, but she promises that she's just lashing out because she's upset. 

I really don't know like what Callum is doing, I understand it's a difficult situation he's been put in, but how can he work for Phil along side the police? Does Callum even trust Phil? At this moment in time, probably not. Callum has confided in his boss, revealing to him what Phil has asked of him. DI Thompson is telling Callum that it doesn't matter if he has to commit crimes, as long as Phil believes Callum is on his side, then that's all that matters. He tries to explain to Callum that you can either go up in life or down, he gives him a choice, what is he going to do? I really don't like what Callum is doing at the minute, but part of me also feels like he's being pushed into a corner and probably feels like he doesn't have an option?! 

On the Square, Lola, Lexi and Phil are emerging from the cafe, after Phil treating his granddaughter to a chocolate muffin, they spot Isaac from across the Square. Lola instructs her daughter to get out of sight before she gets in trouble for being off school. It's then Lola starts complementing him saying what such a nice man he is, suddenly Lexi speaks up and mentions that he's a druggie, much to Phil's annoyance, how dare someone smoke stuff around his granddaughter?! Lola, as a good mother does, tells her daughter not to hear school gossip, but even Phil is disgusted, as he says "Why would she lie about it?" Lola tells Phil to just forget about it,  but will he?

Back at his office, Kheerat is once again alone with his thoughts as he spins around and around in his computer chair. As he keeps spinning, he becomes aware of figure in the doorframe watching him. Gray! Instantly the two men stare at each other, Kheerat is ready for him, if Gray wants a fight he's got one coming! Gray insists that's not what he's here for, he begins to tell Kheerat of the information he's been given. The fact that a name has come up to the police about a suspect for Chantelle's death, he explains it was Karen who made the call. Is this something that he's lying about? Do we know for sure who has given his name to the police? Gray tells Kheerat that it's his name that Karen gave out, Kheerat remains silent as Gray carries on, he explains he told Karen that she was wrong, he tells him that he loved Chantelle too much for this to drag out, and he warns if Kheerat loved her just as much as he thought he does, then he would do the same. It's then Kheerat makes a valid point to Gray, mentioning how he was willing to give up everything in his life for Chantelle, his job, his family, everything ... so why isn't there just a piece of him that isn't making him think it was Kheerat?! Gray is always one to come up with a good backhander, "Because you loved her too much to hurt her, right? But she didn't love you did she!" ... Ooooh trying to hit him where it hurts, but we all know that's not true, it's what Gray wants to believe. Kheerat knew Chantelle loved him! He warns Kheerat to leave him and the kids alone, it's only then he reveals to the widower that he's revealed everything to his Father-In-Law! He warns that if Gray had anything to do with Chantelle's death, he'll be watching and waiting! 

At the Vic, it looks as if Sharon and Ian are trying to come to some form of understanding. Ian is already speaking to her much more politely. He apologises for the way he's been acting towards her, he explains he's trying the money for Max back together while he's waiting on some form of contract, and as soon as he gets it, he'll pay him back. Sharon warns her friend that secrets don't last for long, but Ian begs her not to say anything to Max, he promises to try and learn to accept the fact that she doesn't feel the same way about him. She asks him to keep things strictly professional, he nods and it looks as if they've come to a mutual agreement. 

Back at school, Isaac is being brought to his boss's office! She informs him that a complaint has been made against him about drug use, instantly he's fighting his corner, explaining that it's all a big misunderstanding because he stopped tutoring Amy Mitchell. The Head Teacher looks as if she doesn't believe a word he's saying, she opens her office doors and Isaac follows her inside, only to see Phil sat in the office chair, he looks over at him in disgust and Isaac knows he is in deep trouble! Meanwhile at the Minute Mart, Denise is looking to find something for the Atkins children when suddenly he phone rings, it's Isaac. From what we can make from the her phone conversation Isaac is telling her that Phil has come to the school to complain about his drug use, BUT while this conversation is taking place - Callum and Honey are also having another important conversation, Callum had just come back from a police job, a whole family of 4 being stuck in a car crash - a hit and run, from what Callum describes the scene to Honey as they both recoil from the news. As Callum is doing so, Denise can't help but overhear, does she know something about the family that have been hurt?

This is another place we've not seen inside of for a very long time, at McKlunky's Stacey is drowning her sorrows in fast food - definitely something I would do! - Martin walks in and they both clock each other, he laughs and make the small signal that she has some sauce on the side of her lip. For a moment, things seem civil between the ex-couple. Stacey admits that she doesn't know what to do to make it up to her Mum, Martin gives the only bit of advice he can "Give her some time!". Then Stacey starts to question his relationship with Ruby, whether she makes him happy or not. She reveals how devastated she was when Martin told her he had cheated with Sonia, she insults him by saying that she could do so much better than Martin. As she says this, it looks as if he's really hurt by what she's said, but he throws one right back at her, he reveals to her why he lied about sleeping with Sonia, he revealed he lied to keep her safe. Stacey once again accuses him of lying, because if it was the truth why didn't he just tell her in the first place? And he simply states that if he had, she would've made the situation a whole lot worse, he then tells her that he also can do better than Stacey, and just adds the last little dig, that he already has, with Ruby!

Back at Denise's house, you can see she's desperate to find something inside her house. She finds a folder which is full of letters and pictures. It looks as if the car crash she overheard Callum and Honey talking about earlier on, actually turns out to be the family her baby boy she had with Phil, Raymond, was adopted into. All the pictures show a tiny toddler cuddling a lion soft toy, and the letter reveals that the family were travelling to celebrate Raymond's sister's 13th birthday! Callum had told Honey that the child who died was 13 years old. Denise is beside herself as she looks on her phone and see the news of the mother and daughter passing and scrolls to the bottom of the article where it mentions the toddler being in intensive care. 

Meanwhile, Martin is catching up with Ruby after his confrontation with Stacey, he instantly tells her that he wants to go away just him and her. Everything has been a headache for him since Stacey returned. He pours his heart out to her and reveals that he wants to be with her, he loves her. Ruby smiles and she goes in for a kiss, as she does so, Stacey can be seen watching them from a distance, looking clearly devastated how her ex-best mate and ex-husband are looking so happy together. Ruby clocks on to her and grins as she enters her house with Martin. Stacey carries on watching them as she stands on the Square in her bare feet. 

Back at the Mitchell house hold, Callum has finally moved the last of his stuff into the house. He decides to have a heart-to-heart (well, from how it appears) - he reveals to Phil that through out his whole life he's been looking for something, he wasn't sure what, but as soon as he found Ben, he knew! He just knew he'd found what he had been looking for! I don't know whether Callum is trying to get into Phil's good books here or something, or whether he's lying to him to make him believe him, but he says that he would do anything for Ben. It's true he wants to be good copper, but if he was to choose between his job and Ben, he wouldn't have to think twice! He uses the most important phrase he could say to Phil, just to get him on side "I want to look after my FAMILY! Because that's all that matters isn't it?!" Phil smiles in acceptance - he's ready and welcoming Callum into their family, but is this going to be the biggest mistake Phil has made?! Is Callum going frame him and still put him up to the police! I feel really bad in saying, but I'm not liking this whole situation Callum is putting himself in. He is playing a very dangerous game, as soon as Phil finds out what he's doing, he'll kill him - not just for putting him up to the Police, but for betraying his family and most importantly Ben! 

Finally back at home, Isaac calls Denise one final time - telling her that it'll be the last time he calls, and basically thanks her for nothing, she was supposed to be helping him. But unbeknown to him, she has had a huge shock. We see Denise enter the hospital, she eventually finds the room in which he young son, Raymond, is lying in. She looks through the window, sees the toy lion and sighs against the glass. Suddenly a new face appears - Ellie! Finally we are introduced to Ellie!!!! She asks if she was a friend of the family - ahhh it's only as she's speaking to Denise, it occurs to me who she is! She is the adoptive Grandmother of Raymond! She reveals to Denise that both her son and young Raymond will survive, as she leaves to get them both a drink, Denise cries softly as she watches her young biological son. What interests me is, is Denise going to reveal the news about Raymond to Phil?! Does this mean that Denise is going to perhaps want to take her child back and fight for custody? Who knows?

Back at the Vic, Mitch is still reeling and reeling about who to believe or what to believe. Kheerat finds him and joins him, he reveals that Gray had paid him a visit. He reveals that Karen has named Kheerat as a suspect in Chantelle's death. Mitch is clearly taken back by this news, it's understandable that Karen is grieving, but why would she suddenly decide to blame Kheerat for Chantelle's death, she didn't have any clue about this until Mitch told her. Why would she do that? For some reason, I don't seem to understand that one. After a while both Karen and Gray come into the Vic and they both see Kheerat and Mitch together from across the bar. Gray is clearly disappointed in his Father-In-Law, believing a neighbour over his family. Mitch knows that something isn't right and he tells Gray that there is something that he's not telling them, it's then that Gray tells him that if he believes it was him, he wants him to announce it right now, in front of all the people inside the pub. Kheerat is quiet during the confrontation, but I'm sure if he had the choice he would've had his say. He definitely feels 100% certain that Gray was involved somehow, especially after his little visit. 

Back at the hospital, Ellie is making small talk with Denise, talking about the accident and how tragic it is for the family. She explains how much of a religious family they all are. She asks Denise whether she'd like to go in and see Raymond, she gently nods as Ellie lets her in. As they watch over the young boy, a nurse enters the room and asks to see Ellie, unfortunately she has bad news about her son. It looks as if poor little Raymond is going to lose all of his family due to the horrendous car crash, Denise begins to sob softly as the nurse asks if she's family, it's then she nods as she looks over her son and responds "I am! I am!" 

With all of the family passed away and with Ellie the owner adoptive family Raymond has left, is Denise now going to fight for custody of her son? She can't watch a let him grow up without a family. As he's young, will she be able to take him back and give him the family he's going to need? This is really interesting storyline, it's clear she's going to have a custody battle with Ellie. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this one plays out, perhaps she could try and get Phil's help, if he's willing?! 

Thank you all so much for being incredibly patient with me! It's taken me quite a while to type up this post as I've had many disruptions through-out the day. But I am now finally caught up! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and I'll be back on Monday following Monday's episode! Enjoy your weekend everyone! Goodnight! xXx

News & Spoilers

Monday 31st August 2020

Good Evening folks! I realise it's been a while since my last post, but I've been away from my laptop and my blog for the past week. I just wanted put up a post seeing as we are exactly one week away from EastEnders being back on our screens!

During the past few days there has been news and spoilers released, firstly regarding the arrival of a new character to the Square! Mica Paris has joined the EastEnders cast and will be given the role as Ellie Nixon! It has been revealed that Ellie will have something to do with Denise!

During lock-down and since EastEnders has been off-screen, we've been given the revealing documentary Secrets From The Square. I'm sure the majority of you will recall that it was revealed that Denise was going to be given a dark story-line and that her past will come back to haunt her. What has Ellie got to do with Denise? Is she some kind of long-lost relative or an old friend or colleague of some kind? I'm really intrigued to see what the story with Ellie and Denise is going to be! 

There is so much that we've got to look forward to when EastEnders returns, from what I've seen and heard over the past few days, it all looks incredibly exciting! During SOTS, Linda Henry who plays Shirley Carter also admitted that she has another brilliant story-line in the works for her! I absolutely LOVE Shirley! She's an amazing character to have on the soap and I feel like she's not had a major story-line since the reveal of Mick actually being her son. This is another story-line i'm looking forward to seeing and what the soap has in store for the fellow Carter family. 

Also new promo pictures have been released of both Sharon and Ian in the Vic! Fans will remember that the last thing we saw in EastEnders was that it was revealed that Sharon and Ian had bought the Vic off Mick, stopping Phil in his tracks. EastEnders have also made the announcement that Adam Woodyatt will be taking a much longer break it may seem compared to other cast members, this will also be down to another huge story-line. Is Ian going to be hiding away due to his guilt of leaving Dennis on the boat and primarily being the one to blame for his death? I can't put into words how exciting all this news is, but it's brilliant to see pictures of the cast back together, of course having to follow the social distancing rules, but i'm sure it's going to be so good to see how things have changed for all our favourite characters.

I know it sounds silly but one of the main things I am looking forward to is seeing both Kat and Stacey back on the Square where they belong! Lacey Turner has been away due to maternity leave and Jessie Wallace has also been absent due to being suspended for 3 months, but they are both going to be making a huge return to the Square. I'm sure you guys will all be aware that since Stacey's departure, it's been made clear that Martin and Ruby have gotten a bit cosy with each other. Ruby and Stacey have always been such good friends on the soap, but I'm sure some of you will agree that Ruby has kinda stepped over the mark by becoming romantically involved with Stacey's Ex-Husband! I mean - technically, they're still married, i'm pretty sure neither of them signed divorce papers, and Stacey left because she feared the police would come after her, after she attacked Phil in the Arches. Fans will remember that Martin left with Stacey but come back on his own, and he got himself caught up in such a downward spiral with Ben's dodgy dealings, he couldn't let Stacey see him in that state. So to keep her safe and out of harms way, he lied to her ... saying he slept with Sonia! Fans will know that was untrue, in a way he was being cruel to be kind, to protect the woman he loves. Deep down, I believe that Martin and Stacey do still love each other, Stacey is going to be heartbroken when she finds out what he and Ruby have been up to in her absence. Plus there's the issue regarding her Mum's mental health! Poor Jean has been left to look after herself after she threw out Kush, after realising he had been putting her medication in her food. How is Kush going to explain himself to both Kat and Stacey?? Oooooo so many questions that i'm really looking forward to finding out the answers too! 

In other EastEnders news, bosses have been giving little hints as to what our favourite characters have been up to during their time in lock-down, such as:- Habiba's relationship with Jags has been going from strength to strength, Phil has been talking to his lawyers to get his divorce settlement with Sharon finally sorted and Sheree & Patrick returned from Trinidad when the crisis hit, but then Patrick came down with Coronavirus and spent a week in intensive care at Walford General. And lastly, the most exciting news yet to be announced is that EastEnders is planning on a huge Christmas return for a character. Christmas is always big for EastEnders, it when secrets finally get revealed and people return from the dead! Who is going to be making a big return to the Square? For me, I'd be happy if it was either Janine, Jane, Masood, Lauren, Little Mo, Zoe, Alfie, Grant ... the list goes on! Who do you want to see return to the Square?! I'm just incredibly excited for what the soap has in store for us - and the countdown begins! This time next Monday, EastEnders will be back with a bang! I can't wait to get back to blogging about every episode! I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week and make sure to build up your excitement for when EastEnders finally returns! Love you all xXx
