EE - theory Linda/janine/Nancy/Zack
So in this weeks metro newsletter a couple of upcoming spoilers have been released . (These can relate to any soap so it’s just pure guesswork on my part , a theory , not a spoiler.
They are
One much loved character packs their bags to leave after being hurt once too often nut can their family change their mind?
Wanting to protect someone close to them, one character will tell a lie that will sacrifice their own happiness. Are they making a dreadful mistake?
So my theory is , Linda gets the blame for taking the 50k , I mean it looks a bit obvious doesn’t it her suddenly having 50k.
She can’t confess to taking the money off janine as she will be admitting she was willing to leave her kids ….
So seeing Nancy hurt and betrayed by her mum , Zack comes forward and “confesses” to taking the money , repairing Linda and Nancy but ruining his own relationship with her .
Random post , probably off the mark but just wanted to share it 😂
HAPPY FRIDAY

£25000 of the money only went into Janine's bank after the scam by the estate agent.
And the real estate agent could say who stopped the contract being signed as she would remember Janine.
All Linda has to do is say she took it just to show what a scheming cow Janine is.
But as it's a soap we know everyone will believe Janine over Linda.
I see Zack taking the fall for it. It's the type of thing he would do. But they make up after the Carters deal with Janine one and for all. 😈
I expect Janine to leave anyway at some point so when the truth comes out then that would be a perfect time.
It would be even more stupid that Nancy would think her mum would do that but obviously this is what happens in soaps, characters suddenly become completely dumb to fit the storyline.
This is the final straw for Mick and he leaves the square for good.
I think Janine's been very very clever about the way she's gone about this. She's scammed Nancy out of £50k and set it up to look as if Linda has the money, and Linda, for all her threats, can't really say the real reason she has the money because then she'd have to admit she was willing to take £50k to leave her children. Although surely the police in the real world would be able to trace the scam property woman and find out what she did with the money, which will lead them to Janine.
Well that’s it isn’t it . In the “real world” you’d be asking shops for cctv , asking the property woman who it was who cancelled the appointment ,what she looked like etc , but I suppose this might be a problem if she just says blonde 😂
BIB: I think if I had the choice between saying 'I was having a hard time seeing Mick and Janine together, when Janine offered me £50k to move away it seemed like an opportunity for a fresh start' and 'I defrauded my daughter and ruined her dream business for no reason other than sheer spite' then I know which I'd rather admit to. Nancy's feeling might be a little bit hurt but I think she'd understand if Linda felt the need for a bit of distance from Mick.
The main issue at the moment is that Linda had zero motive to steal the money. If Janine can come up with a reason then it'll look worse for Linda.
I don't think Zack is attracted to Linda. I also can't see him betraying Nancy like that, or sleeping with someone who's wasted (and I can't see Linda hitting on him sober).
I don’t see Charlie staying long term. She prefers Janine to come in cause some chaos then leave. Once the truth comes out everyone will once again turn against her including her daughter and Janine will do what she always does and run away. Charlie won’t have any problems finding work.
The whole thing was stupid. How could the fake estate agent even know what amount of money was even talked about.
Or what length the lease was to be worth 50k.
Nancy's money would have left a trail to the fake estate agent who also left a trail to Janine's bank account.
Janine sent the money to Linda's bank account leaving yet another trail.
Janine has not even been in the loop when the subject of the building or it's rent.
And the real estate agent met a woman in black, not pink.
But as we know none of that matters when a soap wants to make a story fit.
It's entirely believable that an alcoholic and homeless single mother wouldn't be going through her bank statements regularly, if at all. Then it would be up to Janine to explain, which she really can't do, because other than something fraudulent, there isn't a reason to be transferring fairly large sums of money you can provide no source for.
Janine already had £25k in savings.
Maybe the bank details on the bogus contract were for Linda's bank account, so the money went directly to her from Nancy?
But Janine needed to make sure that Linda agreed to leaving Walford first. I can’t see the money that Zack & Nancy transferred going instantaneously straight into Linda’s account without Janine first checking that Linda was going to stick to the plan
Remember we saw Janine meeting Linda in the cafe after the fake lease deal had happened and say to her she could get the money transferred to Linda’s account straight away if she agrees to go. If Linda already had the money then this conversation didn’t need to happen.
The only way there would be no trace back to Janine was if the money was held in some kind of holding account first where Janine’s name is not connected rather than Janine’s own bank account
That's what happened. The woman working with Janine said that she'd transferred Janine's share to Janine (less her commission), so she must have received the money in a different account.
That’s what us normal folk would do , but the people of walford are a different breed ! They like to get resolutions the long way round , they ignore all common sense .
Then again, she didn’t bother to get the CCTV from when Janine didn’t just come to Elaine’s pub but bought 2 bottles of wine and sat down drinking with her.
