Good afternoon everyone! How is everyone feeling? Again I just want to thank you all for being incredibly patient with me doing this blog, yesterday I reviewed Monday night's blog, today I'll be talking about last night's episode. I know it's now another whole week until we got more action from the Square, but all we can do is look forward to what story-lines lie ahead in store for us! I hope you're all keeping well and looking after yourselves.

Right, shall we jump straight into it?! Another episode full of drama, let's start with little Tommy and Kush. So we now have an idea what's troubling Tommy and why he may be struggling at school. Isaac seems to think the young boy may be Dyslexic. I did think he may have been being bullied, but Dyslexia is another reasonable explanation as to why the young lad isn't coping. It's also definitely another issue which hasn't been portrayed for quite a long time. The last Dyslexic story-line I remember was with Keith Miller? Does anyone else remember? It's also a brilliant issue to bring up, it makes a lot of sense also as to why Tommy didn't do his homework and has also been a bit slow in his classes. I'm glad Kush took it upon himself to tell Jean, it's a serious matter which would've been hard for him to keep the information to himself, I'm glad he told Jean and has informed her of what's happening. The only thing now is, how they handle it? Plus without Kat being there and not knowing what's happening with he son, could Kush feel under pressure to give her a call and ask her to come back to support her son? I'm looking forward to seeing more of this story-line play out, although, if Tommy finds out that Kush has confided in Jean, I hope Tommy wont see it as Kush breaking a promise and going behind his back? I hope he'll realise that he did it because he cares for him ... also while we're talking about the Slater family, can we talk about Jean's present from Daniel? For a moment, I'm sure you all had the same thought as I did ... Did Stuart really bring Daniel's corpse to Jean?! Haha! Bloody hell, I was thinking, "That's a bit dark isn't it?! Haha, I was relieved when they cleared that thought from everyone's mind, especially Jean's! But oh, that note that was in the box with the piano ... "Enough moping! Silence isn't golden! Be more Jean!"  ... I love how they're still keeping that phrase even after Daniel has passed away, I hope they'll keep it, every time Jean goes to do something completely different in her life she'll say "I'm being more Jean!" I just love it, I really do!

Who else is feeling really happy for Rainie and Stuart? I know I am! I loved the beginning of the episode when they were in bed together, I know it was a little dark but the little joke Rainie made did make me giggle. "I wonder if Pam will sell us the Parlour? Highways To Hell!" Sorry ... it just fitted her personality perfectly, dark but still a little humours ... possibly something you shouldn't find funny, but it was! I'm glad that Max decided to give Rainie the divorce she needed so she could marry Stuart, I mean, it took some words of wisdom from Whitney to help him change his mind, but he did, thankfully, and allowed the divorce. What Whitney said to him really struck home, as long as Abi has people caring for her and looking after her, it doesn't matter who they are, and Stuart made it clear to Max how much he cares for Rainie and little Abi, he's proven he can provide and support them both if/when they become a family. I hope there will be some good times ahead for Stuart and Rainie, I think they are two of the main people who deserve some happiness.

So, Keegan and Tiffany are now going to living with Jack ... why do I feel there's going to be a bit of tension between Jack and Keegan, with Tiffany once again being stuck in the middle to keep the peace. It's interesting how Denise has now become involved too, after hearing the events from Keegan, she's clearly believing Keegan's side of the story ... I don't know whether it comes to the colour of their skin again, as Denise can understand. But will this cause tension between Jack and Denise also? If Jack is trying to do his duty to his job by supporting his colleague, it's going to cause a rift between his job and the people close to him, could he be forced to either leave his job or potentially lose his family? It's going to be interesting to see which direction this story-line will take for all of those involved. I'm sure Keegan will have some closure knowing that Denise believes him, and of course Tiffany will be at his side. I'm looking forward to seeing what's going to happen with this one, what do you guys think is going to happen? Will Keegan be let off and found Not Guilty of all charges, or will Jack end up being stuck and forced to make a really tough decision?  

Okay, so Sharon has now learned that Phil has put in an offer for the Vic! Although she doesn't quite seem over the moon, she's planning on going away for a while, it might be best for her to just give her a bit of time away from the Square. But when she comes back,how will she feel? Will she agree to moving to the Vic and possibly having a fresh start for her and Phil? Who knows? There has been a lot of speculation as to who the new owners of the Vic will be, I still believe it will be Sharon. Whether she'll change her mind about leaving and she'll agree to starting a fresh with Phil remains to be seen. But what do you think? Will she take Phil's offer or will she leave to clear her head?

Okay, wow! So let's now focus on Whitney and that ending!! Whitney was planning on running away, she'd written a handful of letters to people she cares about all ready for when she would disappear. Luckily, Max caught on to her plan, and tried to convince her to stay and be strong and face everything head on! I'm glad Max has been the voice of reason for Whitney, he knows exactly what she's going through and only he can probably be the one to convince her to fight for her life and fight for what is right! However, after speaking to Gray, Max realises that Whitney's change of a low sentence is minimal, he then decides that maybe the best thing for Whitney to do would to run, so he takes it upon himself to get her a bit of money so she can make a fresh start for herself. Whitney plans drinks at the Vic, potentially as a final goodbye before she does a disappearing act ... but it's only there the news is broken to hear that Michaela has been arrested for trolling her online and for her harassment, which is the news everyone has been waiting to hear. Everyone is in high spirits and telling Whitney how much they support her and how much they have her back, it's only then she realises that the people she loves are all there by her side supporting her through this tough time and everyone is fighting her corner. She decides to stay and face everything that's coming her way, whether it be positive or negative, she's going to fight! Later on, after the celebrations at the Vic she decides to bin her letters, as she leaves the house ... Michaela comes up behind her with a knife and threaten her! That was a bit dark I have to say ... was she even arrested? Was she out on bail?! You know what's going to happen now don't you ... Michaela is going to kidnap Whitney and Sonia is going to find those letters in the bin and everyone is going to assume that Whitney has pegged it! How is Whitney going to get free from Michaela?! Will anyone find out what's really happened to Whitney? Could Gray be forced to do some more digging and try and find he whereabouts of both Whitney and Michaela! There's definitely going to be some more drama coming up that's for sure!

Monday 13th April 2020

Good evening folks! How has your week been? Hope everyone is keeping safe and trying to keep to the rules as much as possible, I know it's been difficult, I myself have been struggling being away from my loved ones. This horrible situation that's happening with the country now, there has to be an end to it, right? Hopefully the end will come soon if we all keep doing what we're doing! I apologise that this post is late, I was up early for work this morning and decided to have an early night last night, I only caught up on last night's episode now ... I'll do another post tomorrow for tonight's episode! I'm sure you've been missing your daily dose of EastEnders? I sure am! We're back with a new week, so lets jump right into it!

There's quite a fair bit to cram into this post ... let's start with Kush and Tommy. We knew there was going to be an upcoming storyline to do with Tommy while his Mum, Kat, is away. Kush is looking after the boys while Kat is aware dealing with some family business, we assume. So it looks as if Tommy isn't doing too well at school, his report isn't the best it could be. Something is obviously affecting the poor boy. When Kush caught him on the staircase and he said "I hate my life!" ... I just felt like saying "Awww poor Tommy!" ... but honestly, no little boy should have to feel that they hate their life. It's true the poor boy has had it hard, both his Mum and Dad are off the scene. Michael Moon was his father and he was murdered. Alfie, who brought him up, is now off the scene and now his Mum has disappeared. The poor boy must feel like he's been left abandoned. Okay, he still has his brother's and step-sister Cherry, but it's not really the same is it? No wonder his school work isn't doing well. But I did have a theory, I have a feeling that that poor kid is being bullied. What else could the story-line be? A young child Tommy's age and being bulled, it can be a huge story-line ... bullying takes place every day, as Tommy said himself, school is the same every day! How will Kush be able to support the young child? Surely he'll have to inform Jean and Mo, if Tommy doesn't want his Mum to know, Kush is going to have to get other members of the family involved so they'll be able to support the young boy. Only thing is, is this story going to continue for when Kat returns? Will this story-line bring back Kat, perhaps along with Stacey? I'm looking forward to seeing what it could be that is upsetting Tommy, plus i'm looking forward to seeing how Kush will cope with the information.

Can we just talk about how cute Jean is? Honestly, she one of my favourite characters, always has been! Gillian Wright is just fantastic at her portrayal as Jean Slater. It's so lovely to see Jean being all smiley and enjoying the fact she has beaten cancer and that her hair is now growing back! It's fantastic she's having the confidence to take it all in and walk proudly in her stride as her hair grows back! The little funeral wig party she had with Shirley and Mo was hilarious! I love the friendship between Shirley and Jean, from the very beginning, it's been a special one! Shirley has always been there for Jean whenever she has needed her, it's a friendship I love seeing on-screen! Does anyone else agree? And yea ... Shirley with long hair! Haha! Not sure what you guys think, but she should stick with the hair style she's got right now?!

Okay does anyone notice a bit if flirtation happening between Chantelle and Kheerat?! Do they have a history, or was it Jags she had a bit of history with?! Did she mention she knew Kheerat at college? But there have a few times there have been hints of flirtation between the two, don't you think? Chantelle is now working for the Panesar's, will things lead to another? Considering how Gray has been treating his wife like a punching bag the past few months, is Kheerat going to be the one that Chantelle finally tells? Is he the one who's going to save her from Gray? I feel there's a lot more still to come from these two, whether it be in a more romantic involvement or whether it's just purely friendship. What do you guys think? Do you agree that there may be something between them? Leave me a comment or message me, I'd love to hear your thoughts!  

I just want to mention the scenes we saw of Phil and Callum, wasn't it just amazing to see Phil accept Callum? How he said that Callum was right for Ben, it's something that really made my heart soar. It's amazing the long road Phil has taken over the years to accept his son's sexuality. But to even praise his son's boyfriend and to give him his blessing and making sure what he said wasn't homophobic, it speaks volumes for Phil's character! He's always been known as the hard man, but he has soft spot and his family means everything to him, regardless of their sexuality. But part of me, is thinking, how is Ben going to react knowing Callum has spoken to his Dad? When Phil realised that Ben's hearing may never come back and that it may be the new norm for Ben, it's something that's going to take its toll for everyone involved, especially Ben! But the scenes between Steve McFadden and Tony Clay were beautiful! I'm looking forward to seeing these two join forces to help Ben in his time of trauma.  

Ooooh, I didn't like the look of that Michaela when she first arrived as was watching Whitney from a distance! I knew she was going to try to manipulate her into telling her what happened to Leo. Thank God for Ruby and Gray, otherwise god knows what might've happened between Whitney and Michaela. Is what Whitney told Michaela going to be brought up against her in court? Might it have been something she shouldn't have done as it may make her trail worse. Could she be sent down for murder, will Michaela twist things and make Whitney be shown as a murder, when really it was all in self defence?! Who else is looking forward to seeing Whitney's story-line progress? Let's hope Gray will be able to help Whitney as the court will find her Not Guilty of murder!

Okay, so is Vinny trying to prove himself as a DJ to get a job at Ruby's? Well it seemed to work! However, we all knew his party was going to cause trouble ... a party never really ends well on EastEnders does it?! Lets be honest?! I found it good in the sense that it gave him a chance to prove himself and do something he enjoys, not having to work for his Mum ... who he really isn't happy with at the moment, which you can understand. Does anyone else think Vinny has a thing for Dotty? I do!! Dotty may be getting on with her own thing with Bobby and Peter, but little to her knowledge, from the sidelines, I believe Vinny will be watching and longing to be with her! That's what i'm guessing anyway! So we have to focus on a few couples who were at Vinny's party, firstly Iqra and Ash. I've heard rumours that apparently Ash is going to start showing a darker side to her character? Could that mean that she starts being controlling over Iqra? Could she start being abusive? Who knows? Ash didn't want to go Vinny's party to begin with, but Iqra kinda begged her to ... Ash kept bad-mouthing her Mum much to Iqra's disappointment, but she didn't seem to care. I feel there could be something dark about to happen within their relationship, whether Ash turns abusive or manipulative towards Iqra, remains to be seen.

The second couple who attended Vinny's party, even though they arrived late, were Keegan and Tiffany. Before we focus on how the episode ended, Tiffany and Keegan were again the main focus of the episode I felt. Keegan feeling down about not being able to get a loan, and Tiffany clearly showing signs of frustration, trying her best to support her husband but not really getting any support back in return. I feel for Tiffany at the moment, she's trying her best to support her husband but every time something happens, Keegan goes all cold with her and says she'll never understand, which is a bit unfair! However, tonight, they had a little bit of good news, even though it was short lived ... Keegan got his loan from Kheerat, much to Tiffany's help after speaking with Chantelle. But that soon rose Keegan's spirits and the young couple were enjoying life and looking towards a brighter future with Keegan's growing business, only for it all to be taken away again after Keegan was arrested for something he didn't do! During Vinny's party, the police were called and the mob that crowded the police cars, someone body threw a brick at their windscreen, which saw Keegan get the blame! Fans will know that Keegan hasn't had much luck when it comes with the police, for some reason, he seems to get confronted and searched and treated poorly by the cops, for which Keegan feels is because of his skin colour. Is this going to be something that pushes Keegan to the edge and will he decide to stand up for what he believes in? Will he be able to fight for his rights? I'm intrigued to what is going to happen with Keegan's story, is it going to be a continues circle of him being in the wrong place at the wrong time and being confronted by police, or will it eventually lead to him taking action after how he's treated?! What do you guys think of Keegan's story? How do you think it will conclude? I'm really looking forward to hearing all of your theories and thoughts, please feel free to ask me any questions you may like, I'd love to answer them!
