Eastenders! Yes! It's still on! Hurrah! And this is what's about to happen. Remember Phil had a heart attack and went from red to grey and then asked Shirley to marry him? Well, she's going to say no, at least at first. But then surely, She'll see the error of her ways, the scared old crow. When Phil drops to one knee clutching a ring instead of his dodgy heart, she surely can't refuse?
But where does this leave Glenda? And what's going to happen with Ian? Yes, he saved his life, but he also arguably almost killed him in the first place. He must be feeling very nervous.
Elsewhere, it's all about the car lot. A tawdry portacabin with about 2 cars at the front hasn't set the local business world on fire of late ? but Max and Jack know that calling it ?Branning Brothers? and giving local dignitaries a plastic cup of cava is the way forward. But why hasn't anyone shown up to the party?
Yep, it's good old fashioned sabotage by the world's youngest looking adult, Darren. He's going to have one of those weeks as his plan backfires, he gets dumped AND sacked. Then he blows up. OK, not the last one.
Elsewhere, Whitney loses her pitch at the market after failing to pay rent, and needs cash fast ? and Janine?s got the perfect solution ? if you're mental. And an old face has returned to the Vic, but who could it be??
OK, it's Michael (we didn't keep you in suspense for too long there). Who?s Michael, you ask? Joe from This Life. Yep, that one. He wants to see his son, but Alfie has to break the news to him that the baby has died. Alfie then leaves Kat and Michael alone to talk and Michael can’t believe that Kat didn’t let him know. He's probably wishing he'd done Holby City instead.
At the same time, Jack is apparently happy to see his old mate Michael back on the Square and the pair head off to the club together. When did they become friends, you ask? We don't have a clue. It's almost as if the writer just tacked that detail on so that you could have a scene where Ronnie is horrified at the arrival of Tommy’s father in her home?
Meanwhile, Whitney?s going to accidentally and unknowingly become a prostitute, aided and abetted by evil Janine. Don't scoff, we went out for a sandwich earlier and before we knew it, we had been whoring so long we had enough for a week in Tenerife.
At The Vic, Kat tries to get her relationship with Alfie back on track but her plan for an afternoon of passion doesn’t go as planned (thank God for us). Later, she's alone with Michael at the pub and in a moment of desperation follows as Kat launches herself at him, kissing him.
But he wants no more to do with her. Kat then breaks down sobbing, unaware that she’s being watched by Alfie. How much humiliation can Alfie take, you ask? Well, this is Shane Richie we're talking about, so probably quite a lot more. Don't forget, this is a man who called his autobiography ?Rags to Richie?
Meanwhile, Darren is caught in an undesirable tug of love between various younger female cast members, before ending up reunited with Josie ? and proposing! Everyone's gone proposal crazy in the square!
Phil returns home from hospital and is unhappy to hear that Glenda has been invited to his and Shirley’s engagement party. Meeting her at the club, she keeps asking him leading questions about their affair. Smelling a rat, he looks in her bag and discovers that she is recording their conversation! So he smashes Glenda’s phone and warns her that she’s not welcome at the party. His face probably goes a deep puce, too. He then locks her in, but she manages to call Ian, who slips out to rescue her.
Will the two team up to get revenge on Phil?
Phil surprises Shirley, Ben and Jay with a holiday to Portugal, an engagement present from Grant. As they go home to pack, Ian and Glenda arrive – what will happen next? Also, shouldn?t Grant have rung to ask when a good time to go on holiday was? Like, not straightaway, during term time? We thought Phil wanted the best for his kids?
Well, Phil is a violent bully one minute, a benevolent, kind dude the next. It's a wonder Ben isn't even more messed up than he is with Phil for a dad. Also, it's a soap. A pretty bad one. So maybe don't think about it too hard.
