Walford Gazette #7

Wow! Just wow! So, Reiss has scarpered (again), Sonia is ridiculously close to labour, Ian has just survived another attempt on his life, half the Queen Vic is on Bridge Street’s pavement, Kathy was the Walford Whacker (there’s always a twist at the end), and Phil is about to shoot himself!

Here’s some shots from tomorrow’s hour long episode!

But life moves on, the show must go on and the sun always comes up tomorrow – and that means spoilers for next week! But, maybe more than usual, be aware of spoilers about survivors…

Also, as a little treat, I have uploaded a copy of the very first episode from 19th February 1985. The download is available, for free, at this link. Enjoy!

Until next week. Stay Safe.

Grant makes a big assumption and is ultimately left disappointed. He decides that it’s time to leave Walford again. Before Grant goes, he supports an unlikely person and they finally put some historic differences aside. Grant asks Nigel to move to Portugal with him, promising to support him through his journey living with dementia. How will Nigel respond to the offer?

Meanwhile, the residents of Walford gather at the club for a sombre occasion and drama follows among the grieving locals.
