Here you go, M. Darcy: List of residences in EastEnders. The Fowlers lived at 45 Albert Square.

It was mentioned when Kush was first introduced that he was a widower, but it hasn't been discussed much until now.

If you ever have the chance to dine at Stephanie Izard's Girl & the Goat in Chicago, I highly recommend that you take advantage of it. I went for dinner during an overnight stay in the city a couple of weeks ago and every dish I had was amazing. (I was hoping for a glimpse of Stephanie while I was there -- the kitchen is open to the dining area -- but she was not there.)

Brynn threw a fork at Steven. I remember that mostly because of the camera shots of the fork on the floor that kept being shown in that episode.

I thought that was New Orleans Julie who peed on Coral's bed. Edit: Both Julie and Tonya did? Wow. I don't remember when Tonya happened.

There was mention made in today's episode about prices being slashed in the Minute Mart, probably part of the closing sale.

Dean isn't dead. He'll be back.

Those necklaces have microphones in them.

DTC has said that Cindy was their first choice to have killed Lucy, but Bobby's name was brought up and the writers realized that having him as the culprit would have more of an impact.

The preview for upcoming episodes that was aired during today's post-show wrap up showed Keeble questioning Ian and Jane, so it looks like there is still some of this left to be dealt with.

Unless he did it thinking it would be nice for Beth to have a keepsake from her aunt? I don't know. I don't think we'll ever know. Now that the Beales have closed ranks, this storyline is pretty much done aside from how they will deal with Peter leaving soon. I don't know how Bobby didn't hear them all shouting about not telling him he had killed Lucy, but no one actually heard her body being taken out of the house so there you go. After watching today's episode, my feelings are still the same about Bobby but I am more at peace with it now. Well done by all of the actors involved given that the episode was done completely live.

Cindy opened it because the tag on the gift was for Beth, right? I actually thought for a minute that Emma may have done it just to see the reaction that unwrapping it would get. She was at the Beales' house that morning. (Probably a bit of a stretch, but given the events of the last 24 hours, nothing in this storyline would surprise me.)

Having had a chance to sleep on it, I am still disappointed in Bobby being the culprit but I do recognize where DTC is trying to go with this. In an interview on the EE Facebook page after the flashback episode, he mentioned a book called "We Need to Talk About Kevin" which deals with a mother trying to deal with the fact that her young son has sociopathic tendencies. If that's the route the writers are taking with Bobby, it may have been less of a letdown if there had been some indication prior to last night that he was capable of that kind of behavior, like Steven Beale and even Ben. Bobby has barely registered as a character on the show for the whole time he has been on as an older child -- in fact, I don't ever recall him interacting much with Lucy, even when she was taking care of him during Ian's breakdown and disappearance. I can recognize the impact that it will have on the Beales going forward, though -- Ian having to raise Bobby knowing that he had a hand in Lucy's death, dealing with Jane's part in the coverup, Peter's relationship with Lauren being affected, etc. I still am baffled as to why no one upstairs heard anything that was going on. Denise had a bottle of wine on the nightstand next to her, so her being knocked out kind of makes sense. Neither Ian or Cindy heard any kind of commotion from downstairs while Lucy's body was being moved? I guess that will be explained in tonight's live episode. I am thinking that Jane may have got Max to help her move the body to the Commons and that could be why he suspected Abi was at fault. Dean is not dead. Dot is going to stand trial for her part in Nick's death and I assume that Jim is going to die offscreen sometime soon, I can't see the show not addressing John Bardon's passing. Kathy won't be back for a while but she is coming back.

Bobby. Really? BOBBY? I am going to wait and see what happens with tomorrow's live episode but if his was the blow that killed her, that feels like a really jacked up way to end 10 months of buildup. Emma's confrontation in the park had to have been Jane. And let us not even speak to how Billy's character has now been assassinated with him lusting after a teenager who he's known for her whole life suddenly and out of the blue. Just...ugh. Nice callback to Den Watts with the gun in the bouquet of flowers. And what was all that business with Ben, Jay and Lucy? One more episode to go this week. Let's see how it goes. Edited to remove spoiler tags the day after airing.

My nerves are shot after watching that.

And we haven't even got to the reveal yet!

All I heard was "poo" and it took me a second to realize that he was saying "Pooh". I am going to be kind of disappointed if it is Cindy or Bobby after all this buildup.

I hope I was not the only one a little disconcerted by Bobby Beale talking about Poo(h). Took me a minute to figure out what that reading was all about! Jo Joyner's "How's Adam?" gaffe. Her face after was priceless. Guess that's the danger of live television! Laurie Brett seemed to cover for it quite well.

Jinx, TimWil!

Rumor has it that the talk Phil needs to have with Ian is about Kathy being alive. I can't imagine that to be true, but I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

I still don't think it was Abi. And OF COURSE Ronnie opens her eyes when Roxy and Charlie are stupidly discussing their hookup in front of her. OF COURSE. Ugh.

I am watching right now. The man does looks like James McDaniel but I don't think it is him.

The only soap opera deaths to date that I have ever truly ugly cried over -- full on weeping, no lie -- were Ethel and Pat. Off to watch Barbara and Pam!

The next episode of Back to Ours is up with Adam Woodyatt and Laurie Brett.

I think Dean appealed to Mick when he told him that going to jail meant Linda and the kids would be without him if he got arrested for GBH. I also believe that shovel is going to come back into play somehow.
