Mandy’s Filming Delay And Why She Missed The Ray Walters Twist
Lisa Riley shared the truth behind Mandy’s long absence. And now it’s finally making sense. She was away doing the reality show at the end of last year. And this soap films everything months before the episodes air. So this means that Mandy wasnt around on set while the current drama was shot. Her family was in the centre of the storm. However, she hasnt been there to help them.
Elsewhere this week, the soap finally pulled the curtain. It revealed that Bear Wold had killed Ray Walters. Everyone had believed that Celia Daniels had murdered Bear on New Year’s Day. She herself had claimed to have done it. This twist had shocked viewers. However, something bigger happened in the flashback.
Ray had threatened Paddy and Dylan. However, before anyone could understand what Ray would do next, Bear stepped out. He grabbed him, and their fight ended with Bear choking him. Elsewhere, Paddy has been carrying the weight of that moment ever since. He placed Ray’s body into Jai Sharma’s van.
He then hid Bear while the police were investigating the matter. And while all this was happening, people asked where Mandy was. It’s because she is always present when her boys are in trouble.
