[lizann]

Sounds like Denise is dead

I thought Tamwar accepted Syed being gay

[Dazzle]

Ben is in prison - I thought from other spoilers that Phil might take him out of the country. I guess he'll be a "different" boy when he comes out, lol.

[tammyy2j]

Sounds like Ronnie's rape is known to all

[Dutchgirl]

So Denise is dead. So they think it is a suicide? To hide the fact thaty she killed Owen. And that is why Lucas is still around? All presumpionts. But it is the only plausible cause here.

[Perdita]

I still don't believe that Denise is dead, we would have had spoilers on her leaving EE and her death long before now

[walsh2509]

Denise as the killer ? can#t remember but was she ever alone that day ? getting up and getting ready for her wedding. Her daughters and other women fussing around her and then to the wedding, don't think she was on her own at any point unlike Lucas.

[moonstorm]

I'm of the same mind as Perdy - Denise is not dead! It is only Lucas that identifies her body.

[Dazzle]

Denise as the killer ? can#t remember but was she ever alone that day ? getting up and getting ready for her wedding. Her daughters and other women fussing around her and then to the wedding, don't think she was on her own at any point unlike Lucas.

Hopefully, as the police investigate they'll realise Denise didn't have the opportunity to kill Owen.

[samandkai]

i dont think denise is dead i think it is that other prostitute girl who had the cross round her neck when he went to the house with her

[sindydoll]

if denise was dead we would of heard about it by now in the papers or the net! i think its that girl with the cross around her neck too

[Perdita]

Peggy and Glenda continue to bicker in an attempt to vie for Ronnie and Roxy's attentions.

Arriving at the dusty-looking property, Ronnie, Roxy and Glenda wonder what they've been invited to. It's not until Peggy arrives that her motives are revealed.

Ronnie tries on a few ancient-looking outfits, before she emerges in the perfect dress. Returning to The Vic, Olive adjusts Ronnie's new dress, but when Glenda and Peggy start arguing over Archie, Ronnie bolts from the room…

Ronnie begins planning for her wedding
Airs on Monday, July 19 2010 20:00 BST on BBC One

Ronnie's excited about the wedding and wants to start planning as soon as possible but Jack's still reeling over her revelation that the baby she miscarried at Christmas was Owen's. Ronnie insists that she's fine about everything but Jack's not too sure that she's telling the truth. Over at The Vic, Peggy and Glenda express an interest in joining Ronnie in her search for a wedding dress but Ronnie insists that she wants to go with Roxy. Later, Glenda shows Ronnie her old wedding dress and offers to let her wear it like she did for Archie but Ronnie's repulsed by the suggestion. Returning home, Ronnie finds Jack exercising.

Later, Roxy shares a tender moment with her mother on discovering an old Barbie doll of hers that she's kept from her childhood. Jack's sleeping and Ronnie heads over to The Vic again and she's thrown into a panic when she hears Archie's voice. Rushing upstairs, Ronnie finds Roxy and Glenda watching an old video. With that, Ronnie hurries out of the pub. Jack wakes from his nap and is puzzled as to Ronnie's whereabouts. He's shocked, though, when she walks in on Ronnie sobbing in the middle of a pile of ripped wedding magazines…

Meanwhile, the Masoods are still coming to terms with Syed's decision to be with Christian. Refusing to go to mosque, Zainab rifles through the washing and comes across some of Syed's clothes. Returning home, Tamwar confides in his mother that Masood told everyone at mosque that he only has two sons. Suggesting that Zainab should visit Syed, Zainab instead hands over his clothes to take to the charity shop. After Masood apologises to Zainab for taking his frustrations out on her, they both agree that at least they have their sons. While out for a stroll, they spot Christian and Syed together and seemingly blank them. Zainab and Syed, however, lock eyes.

Elsewhere, Christian's surprised that Syed's being so open about their relationship; Peter asks Lucy how she cheated on her exams; Shirley's frustrated to learn that Phil's not visiting Ben at the detention centre; Christian returns home to find Syed cooking and the flat in a complete mess; Peter confronts Adam about blackmailing Lucy; Peggy hears of Ben's reluctance to visit his son but after a heart-to-heart, she realises that he's too scared to go; Libby slaps Adam when he mentions Denise; Peggy and Phil visit Ben who seems to be getting on just fine as he's made a new friend; Christian suggests that they forget the flat and head out for a meal together; and Ben's 'friend' threatens him after visiting hours - Ben's not fine at all.


Ronnie's childhood secret is revealed
Airs on Tuesday, July 20 2010 19:30 BST on BBC One

Ronnie's browsing for wedding dresses when Glenda points one out that looks like the one she married Archie in. Ronnie's disgusted to hear his name. While Ronnie waits for Peggy to arrive, Glenda heads over to The Vic and insists that Ronnie only wants to go shopping with Roxy. Glenda leaves and a suspicious Peggy calls Ronnie but Glenda manages to delete the missed call before her daughter sees it. With that, Glenda reveals to Ronnie that Peggy's too busy to go out with them. After bumping into Jack, Peggy's furious to realise that Glenda deceived her. Calling Ronnie, Peggy asks if she can meet them all at a shop.

Ronnie and Roxy arrive and Peggy's inside the shabby-looking dress shop. Despite laughing at the ancient dresses, Ronnie agrees to try one on. The laughter, however, stops when Ronnie emerges from the changing room in a pristine dress. Returning to The Vic, Olive makes the relevant alterations to Ronnie's dress, while Peggy hands out a round of drinks. Delighted by Ronnie's choice, Peggy offers to pay for the dress - something which frustrates Glenda no end. An argument between Peggy and Glenda breaks out over Archie. Hearing her father's name pushes Ronnie over the edge and she runs out of the room past Jack.

Roxy comforts her distraught sister demanding to know what's wrong and Ronnie finally cracks - it's because Archie raped her when she was 13. They're stunned to realise that Peggy, Jack and Glenda have heard everything.

Elsewhere, the funeral director calls at Patrick's to arrange Denise's service; Christian and Syed visit Dagenham Dave's where his brother Derek shows them some mattresses; Libby asks Patrick to make a speech at her mother's funeral; Christian offers to help Tamwar get fit when he spots him looking at a men's fitness magazine; Darren helps Abi write a letter to Ben; Christian assures Syed that he'd never cheat on him; Patrick struggles to write his eulogy for Denise and he's upset when he finds a note in Denise's handwriting; Tamwar tells Zainab exactly what he thinks of her when she suggests that he burn a box of his brother's belongings; and Jordan's upset by Abi's comments about Ben.

Despite the huge weight being lifted off her shoulders, a distraught Ronnie feels embarrassed by her admission. A bemused Glenda looks on as Roxy protests that her father wouldn't ever do such a barbaric thing. Comforted by Peggy and Glenda, Ronnie goes on to recount the incident. Having heard enough, Roxy lashes out. Peggy and Glenda drag Roxy into the back to calm her down and there, Roxy admits that she's known for months but refused to believe it as Glenda would surely have known if it were true. Talking with Jack, Glenda asks if he believes Ronnie's claim and as he's about to answer, Ronnie appears and asks the same question.

Jack explains to Ronnie how he didn't want to believe that she'd suffered such abuse as a child and promises never to let anyone hurt her ever again. Ronnie breaks down in Jack's arms, leaving Glenda feeling isolated once again. Desperate to show her affection, Glenda insists that she'll always be there for her, before hinting that she doesn't think Peggy believes her. Enraged by the suggestion, Ronnie bolts downstairs and shouts at Peggy to listen to her - she needs to prove that she's not lying. Peggy, however, dismisses her as a liar and orders her out of the pub. Glenda, meanwhile, revels in the family crisis. What's she up to?

Meanwhile, Patrick begins clearing up the house in a bid to distract himself from recent events. Libby, however, becomes upset by his actions as he's throwing away some of her mother's belongings. Libby asks Lucas to stop Patrick but he allows him to continue. Jordan, however, suggests that everything that's happened with his mother Trina and now Denise is his fault and suggests that he's not a good enough Christian. Kim arrives and tries to comfort Libby, while Patrick heads over to see Jim. Talking with Lucas, Kim suggests that Denise killed herself because he made her unhappy. After a heart-to-heart with Jim, Patrick returns home and is confronted by Kim about his lack of support. Patrick, however, insists that he wants his house back. Lucas, meanwhile, asks God for forgiveness.

Elsewhere, Libby becomes upset when Patrick starts tidying away Denise's belongings; Masood demands that Tamwar apologise to his mother; wanting to know more about the Muslim faith, Christian asks Syed what it means to him; Abi's dressed to impress and delights when she interrupts Darren's date with Jodie; Tamwar sees Christian arrive at mosque; Masood's incredulous when he spots Christian at mosque; and Christian apologises to Syed for going to his mosque and despite reprimanding him, Syed admits that he loves him for it.


Patrick goes into meltdown
Airs on Thursday, July 22 2010 19:30 BST on BBC One

Libby and Kim attempt to talk to Patrick about him asking them all to move out but Patrick's insistent - it's for the best. Sure that he's only saying it out of grief, Kim tries to involve him in Denise's funeral arrangements but Patrick realises what she's trying to do and reaffirms his decision to reclaim his house. Turning to Lucas, Kim asks him to have a word with Patrick but he's reluctant to even try. Chelsea, meanwhile, decides that she wants to sell Denise's exercise bike, before heading out to choose flowers for the funeral. Left alone with Lucas, Patrick refuses to talk to him, reaffirming his disgust at the part he played in covering Owen's murder. Later, over a game of cards, Billy and Charlie become concerned about Patrick as he continues to drink.

Consuming more and more alcohol, Patrick starts dancing and singing, much to the confusion of the others. When the rest of the family walk in, they can't believe what they're seeing. An argument ensues between Patrick and Kim and Lucas is forced to step in. Walking Patrick to the allotments, Lucas asks why he's behaving so out of character. At that moment, Patrick explains how angry he is at Denise for selfishly ending her life. Assuring Patrick that everybody has secrets, Lucas insists that the girls need Patrick in their lives. Despite Patrick's worry that he'll let them down like he did with his own children, Lucas reassures him - he's there for them all.

Meanwhile, Ronnie rebuffs Glenda's attempts to talk about the past. Realising that there's only one person Ronnie will talk to, Glenda heads out in search of Roxy. Peggy's frustrated by Glenda's presence and the pair bicker over Ronnie's revelation about Archie. Roxy appears with flowers for her father's grave, before leaving for the cemetery. Glenda follows and as they walk, Glenda asks Roxy to be there for her sister. Eventually turning up at Jack's flat, Roxy asks to speak with Ronnie and it's not long before the siblings once again settle their differences. Roxy also relents and believes Ronnie's claim that Archie abused her when she was a child.

Elsewhere, Tamwar asks Syed if he can talk about his relationship with Christian; Syed invites Tamwar for dinner at Christian's flat and he reluctantly accepts; Tamwar eats Zainab's meal, before secretly heading around to Christian's flat; Tamwar and Syed have a heart-to-heart; and Tamwar asks Syed to go to mosque with him, before sharing a hug.


It's the day of Denise's funeral
Airs on Friday, July 23 2010 20:00 BST on BBC One

It's the day of Denise's funeral and as Patrick tries to apologise to Kim, she doesn't want to know - today's all about her sister and nobody else. Denise's other sister Daphne arrives and comforts Libby and Chelsea, before expressing her wish that she'd apologised to Denise before she died. Libby struggles to deal with what’s going on around her and she quietly leaves. Across the Square, Lucas puts the finishing touches to the community centre ahead of the service. At the swings, Chelsea finds Libby who begins to question whether they ever knew their mother at all. Chelsea, however, insists that Denise was always there for them, no matter what happened.

Later, a procession follows the hearse with Denise's coffin through the Square. Arriving at the community centre, Lucas begins the service. Before long, the congregation begin singing one of Denise's favourite songs. As the service continues, Lucas begins to falter and it looks like he's about to confess his sins. At the last minute, though, he asks everyone to pray. With Libby and Chelsea in emotional turmoil, Patrick stands and delivers a moving eulogy. After the service, mourners head to The Vic where Liz asks Libby to move to Spain with her. Daphne abruptly cuts in and offends Owen, forcing Libby to leave. Patrick looks on and is soon confronted by Kim who demands to know what he's playing at. With that, Patrick asks the girls to stay with him.

Meanwhile, Darren begins cooking a romantic meal for Jodie. With time running out, Darren asks Abi for her help and she gleefully agrees. Jodie soon arrives and the meal's a surprising success, much to Abi's frustration. The pair soon retire to the sofas and it's clear that there's love in the air. Returning from the bathroom, Jodie's horrified as Darren's stood there in his boxer shorts. Jodie screams 'Oh My God!' before rushing out. Darren stares down at his nether regions, bemused by her reaction…

Elsewhere, Peggy agrees to cook a family meal so long as Ronnie's not invited; Roxy informs Peggy that she believes Ronnie's claims about Archie; Peggy continues to ignore Ronnie; Ronnie suggests that Roxy should move into the flat above Jack's flat with Glenda; Peggy's frustrated to find Roxy packing her belongings; and Peggy's left sitting in the pub alone with no family around her.

[Dazzle]

I wonder how long Christan and Syed will last this time? I'd be nice if they last, but not enough drama for EE.

So we're going to see Ben in the detention centre.

I'm glad that Ronnie is at last talking about her terrible secret. I can't believe Peggy doesn't believe her!
