I think someone already mentioned this a bit ago (I can’t find the post to quote), but I hope Kush isn’t forgotten about in this. Whitney seems to have worked everything else out so hopefully it won’t be too long before the penny drops. How will they prove it though? Unless Gray confesses (which seems unlikely), he may only go down for two murders.

Just incredible wasn't it. I'm glad he was arrested, rather than falling to his death. Him being charged for his crimes is the only way this storyline could end.
And that new set looks amazing, doesn't it!

No, 5 if that. I was disappointed. How many times was he going to get away, and how many times weren’t the police there? It got silly. I was willing Shirley to finish him off, Mick not to stop her, Karen not to miss and Whitney to let go. Each time he got away with it. Where were the police?
Yes, he faces a life in prison, but he took three lives away.
But thank goodness it’s finally over.
The new set looks nice but too new. Huge parts we’ve never seen before.
He/They
I feel, I know he ended up on an OTT Murder Spree, after what he put Chantelle through, and how issue led that storyline felt, he had to be arrested and punished for his crimes
(Even if I was willing Mitch to shove him under the train)
Chelsea, Mitch, Mick, Shirley, Whitney, Gray and Karen pulled it all out the bag tonight (my heart went out for Karen at the end).
I loved it, and with this whole new set, am keen to see what big storylines now take over that this has finished. Feels like a bit of a fresh start.

Yeah that was completely thrilling and edge of the seat throughout. So glad he didn't die and has to face the music for all he's done.
Wow, what an episode. Was i mad that the police were everywhere except where they needed to be, yes. Was I willing each of the people he faced finished him off, too fucking right I was.
But in the end, he has to pay for what he did and death doesn’t feel like justice for Chantal, Tina and Kush (and his dad if I remember that correctly).

A very sensitive domestic abuse storyline has been sensationalised into a run of the mill, poorly scripted serial killer fodder.
The actor playing Gray also just didn’t have the range to pull off such a complex character I was literally cringing at his delivery all week.
Chelsea has been serving throughout but the actor deserves better. It’s just feels so forced and unnatural compared to the programme I grew up with. It felt like it was in a good place pre COVID but since it’s return it almost feels like a relic of the past and all these U.K. soaps can’t compete with the standard of TV drama that has risen via streaming.

I agree that the Grey/Chantelle storyline should have taken a very different route, but I think Simon Ashdown's strong writing brought it home as good as it could. I'm so glad Grey was arrested rather than falling off the bridge or being killed by Shirley.
I'm not sure soaps are meant to compete with high budget streaming drama, and I don't think I would want that. If I want to binge on a $200m series then we have Netflix for that.
Also I think Toby-Alexander Smith has done a decent job.
All of this. It made such a serious issue into a pantomime!
That’s the problem with soap killers these days. They can’t just kill once, they have to become mad serial killers. It would have had much more impact if he’d only killed Chantelle and then the focus would have been on the domestic abuse. And it should have come out much sooner than now.
I had no idea that this week was Jon Sen's last as EP.
I wondered why he'd locked replies and then I saw they are eating him UP in the quote tweets!

I agree regarding the comments about the storyline going off the rails. The original storyline with Chantelle was domestic abuse.
The further two deaths went further than domestic abuse. I would also argue that the connection with Whitney and her past, as well as other multiple characters being tied into it went far off the original intention.
If it had been the abuse and death of Chantelle, then the abuse of Chelsea, that would have played better.
