Monday 22nd October
As the Masoods adjust to life without Zainab, AJ doubts whether he is strong enough to be part of the family.

Billy tries to manage Lola’s expectations as she excitedly talks about the prospect of Lexi coming home, but does she truly understand what Phil has planned?

Tuesday 23rd October
Phil worries that being investigated by immigration officers will ruin his residency case for Lexi, but can an old friend save the day?

Wanting to impress the social workers for his residency case for Lexi, Sharon is stunned by Phil's proposal.

Tamwar is upset when Masood forgets his special day, and his birthday celebrations don't go according to plan when Syed turns up.

Thursday and Friday aren't up yet.

IMmigration?
Masoods stuff sounds alright
Hopefully it will be good

Why is Phil getting a visit by the Immigration officers?
The Masoods stuff sounds alright.
I guess this is the start of Phil/Sharon SL.
Thanks

Oh no, I guess Masood and Zainab break up again?

why is Phil being investigated by the immigration officers??

If Masood and Zainab fall out about Syed, it's looking more likely that Syed and Christian leave in order to keep the peace with the family, Amira may not be the main reason.

A life without Zainab WHAT!!!!

Sharon doesnt even know its fake?

So Phil wants to take Lexi away from Lola? What an arse!

I think it means she is stunned and what he proposes to her i.e the fake marriage/engagement.

Not content with screwing up his son's sorry life, he needs a new innocent victim to set his sights on. And another stick to beat Billy with of course.

Very predictable outcome (Phil wanting Lexi/e), but should make interesting viewing.

Immigration ,social services , when is all this officialdom gonna end
Here come the clipboards

I can't believe Zainab and Masood break up again they only just got back together a few months ago.

It looks like they split up over the financial mess Syed has gotten the family into. Grr how come whenever Syed makes a mistake he always has to drag other people down with him (Amira, Tamwar, Zainab, Masood) this is not the first time he has caused ructions in his parents marriage.

A family "adjusting to life without (said family member)" usually means that person has died. Is Nina Wadia leaving?

I doubt chyred would leave if zainab has died

Actually that is not the case. Lola's daughter is taken into care and Billy asks for help. Phil applies for residency if he did not the baby would stay in care. This way the baby can come home close to Walford and Lola can visit. Lola in fact thanks him for his help!

And of course Sharon knows it is fake I think that was obvious, she is just shocked at his plan.

Hence why Syed probably leaves in the end...

I'm quite sure Masood and Zainab have played their role in making him what he is, with the hints back in 2009/10 that Masood was a little distant with Syed as a child in order to make up for Zainab's over-attachment. Zainab has treated Tamwar as 'second best' for years, even believing him to be responsible for 'Bad Boy' being written on their door.

No, she's in a script peak for November..

So, Zainab & Masood break up again? ****

Immigration? Why? Surely not because of SHARON....unless it's because of Denny who was born in America....I have no bloody idea.

I am married to an American and my first child was born there. Even without the marriage unlike the UK you automatically get citizenship if you are born there so Denny would have dual citizenship as his mother is British. Sharon would also hold dual citizenship as a mother of a an American. They are sometimes referred to as anchor babies so there would be no immigration issue.

Thanks. It was an ominous way to describe a temporary departure.

I know you automatically get citizenship in the States if you're born there (my fiancee's American) and I had a feeling that Denny probably held dual citizenship on account of Sharon being born in the UK but I cannot work out why Immigration are visiting Phil and it just seems like sloppy writing.

I wonder if the press office are getting immigration confused with residency which is what Phil would be applying for if he wanted Lexi to stay with him. Nothing would surprise me.

I didn't know you were engaged. Congratulations when is the wedding?

This (not being nosey maurice)
