Thanks for the nice and early long thread, OP. Looks awesome :-)

Should be a good episode in the build-up to the main events of Thursday, as we rumble towards an epic EE Christmas Day :-)

Yoshi Fan · 22/12/14 - 11:53

Summing up everybody's plots shows just how underused the Masoods have been this year.:( Here's hoping they have more to do in 2015.

Harlowe · 22/12/14 - 11:55

I agree about the Masoods - I hope we see more of them next year. The Kush/Shabnam storyline will hopefully take off.

_elly001 · 22/12/14 - 15:26

Aww, my Johnny thread made the original post. Thanks Dan.

No Johnny tonight, and then he leaves tomorrow. Rubbish.

SoapAddict101 · 22/12/14 - 16:37

Thanks dan for the great thread, looking forward to the Christmas week.

As someone said before me, wow the Masood's have done basically nothing this year.

I hope they have some good storylines to carry them through next year, I think Shabnam's secret has potential even though I have no idea what it is.

No worries and Thank you

It's true the Masoods have done very little this year but tbh they have had a good couple of years so it's nice for them to have a break.
A bit storyline planned for 2015 and it would be nice for Zainab to pop back even just for a one off in February.

Lucy Beale:The Story So far

Watching that back it could be anyone that has killed Lucy. I kept thinking
It could be her or it could be him and maybe it's them
