If I left anythin out don't be afraid to add to the thread.

All sounds good and is shaping up to be a good summer
It seems that Bryan is finally putting his mark on the show and the results look very promising

Liking the look of all that.

Really, really pleased that Vanessa gets herself an explosive exit

why post things that we dont know are true as facts?

I think ive heard all that to be true tbh

stuff in bold ive seen no spoilers on. its just roumers. ryan is leaving so i doubt anything will happen with him and lauren. edward has already left he wont be back and how do we know kat forgives ronnie?

It does sound very good to be fair.

The only ones in bold that are true is the one about Kat forgiving Ronnie.

The others are just speculation.

wheres the spoiler about that one?

It was in the daily mail.

The spoiler abotu Kat forgiving Ronnie I have seen on digital spy or inside soap i cant remmeber where but it was when the pictures of Ronnie were shown outside the court and Kat wants her to go down but then the twist to the story is that Kat forgives her.

Edward has already left

Carol and Eddie is very plausable with the way its going

How old is norman?

well the max and tanya one has started.

Looking forward to it all, sounds great.

HEATHER: is to find love with Andrew.


Who is Andrew?

New character going to appear in the southend eps played by Ricky Grover.


All of theses have been post in one form or another so nothing new.

Cousin Tariq?? http://www.bbc.co.uk/communicate/eas...20040205.shtml

Anyone have any clues about the Yusef secret?

I think it says in the profile you have linked to that this Tariq is Moroccan, so it's probably a different character.

Everyone already is
I never stop talking about it

That is the very essence of soap.

Are we sure Shenice is returning? something tells me that The Sun might have got ahead of themselves there.. there was zero mention of her by Bryan in his Inside Soap interview.

The show has gone through the absolute doldrums over the past two years in my opinion (mid 2009 to now) but finally looks to be shaping up to be an exciting few months ahead now - at last. Let's hope the above storylines all come to fruition, particularly Kat forgiving Ronnie.

Only one or two of these things sound mildly promising

Who is Andrew that Heather finds love with? Is that another Moon?

no..he's the big chappie from Southend :sleep:

i'm guessing it was him who started the fire to seek revenge on Zainab
