Ronnie. Ronnie will do it, Dot will be there, and Dot will think that she did it. And Ronnie'll watch her go down with a smile.

I'm not sure how reliable the flashbacks bit is. That seems like something they've tagged on because of the Lucy flashback episode.

Definitely. Or Dot will know that Ronnie has done it and will voluntarily take the blame so the baby won't be without his parents. Not that Ronnie would mind at all. Ronnie wasn't above Phil being found with the evidence of Carl's murder. Why would she care about Dot? Short answer: she wouldn't, being a psychopath.

Another intriguing storyline, but here's the cynic in me playing devil's advocate: This storyline is far more intriguing that the Lucy line, and shorter. I'm thinking that the Lucy reveal might be a bit underwhelming, and this, coming on its heels, might be a real kick. Hmmm ... maybe Nick should have been killed off on the 30th.

I just KNEW there'd be something else to this storyline, as I couldn't imagine Dot ever killing Nick.

I think it was very clear through Nick's return that despite every cruel act he's done Dot will always love him unconditionally and in his own twisted way he loves her and his children unconditionally too. The writers know that Dot actually killing her son would be a storyline that the audience cannot buy because of her love for him.

Dot will always forgive Nick. I think she blames herself sometimes for the way Nick has turned out, and she's always happy to make excuses for his behaviour. I don't think he could do anything that would push her over the edge enough to kill him.

They have highlighted the fact previously that Dot was certainly not a model parent to Nick, he even recounted in his stint prior to the dire 'Dotty' story that when he was a young child and he misbehaved Dot locked him in the downstairs cupboard and prayed for his repentance outside god knows what did to his psyche in the long run so yes I think she does blame herself and this explains the crux of that longstanding forgiveness.

I've got my eye on you

Is he really going to die or are they going to fake his death again? They've done it once.

I'd imagine that since people are saying this is the last time we'll see John Altman on Eastenders, that it will be real this time.

If he even looks like harming the baby, Dot will step in.

While not the best of parenting techniques, dont forget Dots own upbringing.
I think the only time she felt like she was part of a family was when she was evacuated, but something happened there, I am not sure what.

Dot is very old fashioned, and probably had the bible rammed down her throat a fair bit, fire and brimstone and all that. She is a lot more moderate these days.
A lot of children Dots age were punished in this way.

I think Dot will be covering for Charlie. She doesn't want Matthew to grow up without a father. I doubt Ronnie will recover in time to do the deed.

I can see Dot covering for Charlie (rather than Ronnie) but they may also give her some agency (for a change). If she perceives Nick as a threat to the baby, Dot will take action.

So drugs are involved. It's all coming full circle now.

This makes me think Nick will overdose and this is why Dot is confessing to killing him as she provided the drugs.

I do wonder if someone aka Ronnie makes him take too much for that reason?

It's looking like Ronnie won't wake up until at least the anniversary week though. And she won't be able to leave hospital straight away.
