Coronation confrontation
EASTENDERS
You can always rely on the Queen Vic to throw a decent royal knees-up, and now that we’ve moved on from the ’Er Majesty, Gawd bless ’er days, it’s time for the new King to be celebrated. And how. The ocean of red, white and blue sees everyone swimming in a giant vat of royal love.
It’s not such a good day for Sonia, who wakes up to birthday treats, but no Reiss. Rocky comes close to sharing his suspicions with her, but will he confront Reiss when he turns up? And what is Reiss’s secret? Apart from
where he found earplugs capable of drowning out Sonia’s trumpetplaying. It’s a secret that, when revealed, leaves Sonia devastated, and Reiss desperate to explain himself.
Some locals are having a ball, absorbing the historic moment before the entertainment – both Kim and Felix performing as Dusty Springfield. But there’s less joy for Karen, who doesn’t take well to the news of Keanu and Sharon’s engagement. Maybe she won’t need to worry for many more months… Is Keanu the dead body we saw in a recent flash forward to the Vic at Christmas? Or Grant, back for Sharon’s wedding?
Or Ian (remember him?), or maybe Vinny, mistaken by Suki for Nish? She does have a habit of being responsible for her kids disappearing/dying. While it will obviously be a case of mistaken identity, the suspense is torture, but take heart – there are only 232 guessing days to Christmas!
Nish and Suki are in for a shock with Linda sneaking around behind their backs and talking about cash to a mystery caller. When she reveals her plans for the Vic to Sharon, a huge fight breaks out before the new co-owner is revealed – Linda’s mum, Elaine.
Quickly making her presence felt, Elaine charms some punters and puts others in their place. Will Nish’s intimidation tactics work on her? And is he behind the trashing of the Vic? Welcome to Walford.
More excitement beckons as Kaffy begins planning her Eurovision-themed birthday bash. One request: please, under no circumstances let Kim sing again.
