Live footage of my reaction to the cliffhanger 🤣^

I don’t understand why Stacey didn’t call Martin and Eve once Theo left!? She would’ve had to tell them Lily was in labour anyway!? That way, she would’ve had backup when Theo re-entered the house at the end. But then again - where’s the drama in that? 😂

I hope Lily doesn’t spend the whole week in labour hahaha

Lola’s video really got me 🥺😭

The way George acted when he told Cindy to leave the pub is a dead giveaway that he still has feelings for her. Loved Gina’s reaction to her realisation that Freddie and Anna slept together - she was lapping it up 🤣

There's a Chekhov's gun moment to keep an eye out for tomorrow, involving the knife by the pizza that they focused the camera on.

"If you say in the first act that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third act it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there." — Sergius Shchukin (1911) Memoir

only not with an actual gun.

Rather similar to Stacey locking the back door and putting the key on the shelf when she was cooking the pizza with Theo in the kitchen. Assume that Theo has kept a 'spare' back door key when he changed the locks.

No, it’s David and Ian with the same dad

Wait, so Simon and Ian aren’t brothers? All these years I’ve thought Cindy had a baby (Steven) with Ian’s brother. It gets very confusing :)
So looking at the bigger family tree, Abi Jnr is the granddaughter of Cindy, Wicksy, Max and Tanya? And the great granddaughter of Pat but not Pete?
Then Louie is the grandson of Cindy, Ian, Max and Tanya. And nothing to do with Pat.
Ok, I think I’ve got it 😳

Pete beale was married to Pat but only David Wicks and Ian are his. Not sure if there was an affair to have Simon but hom and Ian don't share a dad. To make it more confusing Bianca is the daughter of David too
Louie doesn't have a blood relation to Pat, no

Has someone ever got a list of all the characters ever in EastEnders and then made a family tree, just to see how linked all the families and every character is? Or is that too complicated to actually achieve?

Someone on Walford Web has made a massive one. What’s even more confusing is they’ve included multiple characters played by one actor. So the Taylor’s are on there but Lorraine Stanley is there again as Thelma Bragg

can you imagine?! it would be like game of thrones 🤣

there’s so many connections i forget about (ie how martin and ben are sort of related through ian) that i would love to see a chart like this.
 
Ben is linked to almost everyone :)
He has half siblings Ian, Louise and Raymond.
He is Peter, Lucy and Bobby’s uncle.
He had Lexi with Lola, which makes him doubly related to all the Mitchells.
Sam is his auntie, so Ricky is his cousin.
He isn’t directly related to the Brannings, but Jack is Ricky’s dad and Raymond’s stepdad, and when Lily’s baby arrives she will be Ben’s second cousin (I think).

Elaine is doing my box in. I know someone mentioned she’s more a stage actress (I remember her from The Brittas Empire as a kid)
But she needs to bog off to panto or something.

There’s no depth to Elaine - she’s either happy and full of extravagance or like the 😐 emoji

Ben and Lily’s baby would be first cousins once removed.

His distant connection to the Brannings would be though Louie his great nephew

Has Ben ever actually interacted with his half brother Raymond? 😂

I wish they’d mix it up a bit with who the characters interact with, rather than having them operate in the same groups all the time.
