What do we think it could be?

Please no rumpy pumpy with Shirley...

Nitin Ganatra always hype up the storylines. Last year he said the Masoods would get big storylines in the autumn but nothing happened.

Maybe this time, the storyline will be as big as he is making out. I hope so.

I'm going to assume that it's something to do with Roya.

If my maths serves me correctly this emotional episode will come to our screens in 3 months and two weeks.

Episode 5128.

The live ep was ~5020.

That means this episode is 108 episodes later. 27 weeks later. It must be airing in August.

EDIT: Friday 28th August

It should be if my maths is right.

Looking forward to finding out what happens. I'm hoping that no-one dies.

Hmm.....

Could this be to do with Roya and will then (wrongly so) link in with justice being done with Dean?

Her name is Jade.

I'm thinking that it must be something to do with Roya. Now that you mention Dean, maybe he does something to Shabnam? Not rape, but something that will traumatize her.

With any luck something might actually happen this August then. Last August Mick went swimming.

Not to Shabnam. However, you are of course right


I'm thinking it's more to do with Roya/Jade than one of the Masood family unit....but with Dean being involved due to it being his daughter.

Unless this is Dean's exit? However, why not just have him leave at the beginning of the year?

.....and we listened to Katy Perry!!

We did get to see Matt Di Angelo in swimming trunks so it wasn't all bad

Too soon for another character death? A Shabnam death/suicide would certainly have massive implications for a lot of characters.

As long as they don't kill Zainab off-screen. I'm looking forward to whatever this story will be.

Maybe, it is too soon for a character death. The last person to die was Nick.

If it was Tamwar dying, I'm not sure if it will be as big a deal, as they are making this storyline out to be.


Maybe it isn't a death.

I really hope no one dies.

Eastenders have a habit of recycling stories. I hope they don't do a Danielle- Ronnie with Roya- Shabnam.

I'm hoping that its more to do with Roya/Jade. Maybe they find Roya/Jade but she's ill and then dies. That would have an effect on Shabnam and Masood.

This story has definitely got me, interested.


Me too.

Matt DA was tweeting from the EE set today & not sounding like he was at the end of his contract, so Im not sure. But something to do with Roya or Shabnam seems right,
There'll be no return for Zainab I see

Surely Matt can't be sticking around for much longer? It doesn't seem right, considering what he did.

Or Syed. If it was as a death, one of them or both would come back.

To be honest I got that vibe from the article. I haven't seen a story described like this since DTC mentioned the Beales would be involved in a highly emotional story in Spring 2014 - and that turned out to be the murder of Lucy. I hope no one dies this time. It is too soon after Lucy in my opinion. I don't want an off-screen death either involving either Syed or Zainab. I wonder if Dean attempts to kill both him and Roya/Jade but instead only kills himself.

I get the feeling there will be a death but I don't think it will be Roya/Jade. What would be the point of that? Maybe it'll be Tamwar. He doesn't really do much other than see Nancy now and then or stroll around the market. I can see him being written out and killed off at the same time.

I love that photo of him, Karl and Linda

I reckon he's signed another 1 year contract. Confirmation would be lovely though

I don't think it's going to be a death. He said it's full of heart whatever it is, so my guess is a disability. However I'm questioning myself on that because he also says that it causes drama within the family. Would a disability cause tension within the family? I remember the Honey/Billy/Janet sl and that caused conflict within their own relationship. That was sad but full of heart when they decided to keep her.

Could be an illness? Maybe Roya has cancer or something.

Ooh maybe her foster family don't want to give her up and it turns into a custody battle, or whatever you call it when it's foster family vs. biological family. That would be brilliant.
