EastEnders yoghurt pot lid storyline

My Nan has been asking me to find something out for her about her favourite soap, and after several Google searches have given me nothing I happened upon the brilliant idea of asking some real British people!

On the 13th February episode the show ended with a mystery man giving the character of 'Heather' her lucky yoghurt pot lid. Then there was a boom-di-di-di-di-di-boom. She must've either missed the next episode, or just hasn't figured out what everyone else had assumed.

Any help for my Nan?

(Edit: I realise I have incorrect grammar in the title, sorry about that!)

I'm not sure either? It might have been Shirley?

Was that the episode where they climed over the wall of that big house? I only saw a few seconds of it, but weren't they going on about George Michael? It wasn't him, was it?

It's the one where Shirley set Heather up with a "male escort". It was the night after the George Micheal episodes, I think?

They haven't mentioned it since Jaffacake. She hasn't missed anything.

Thanks for that guys, how weird that they just stopped the storyline like that and didn't finish it! Let's hope it gets resolved at some point.

My Nan says thank you for helping :

Love the Avatar Miss jaffacake.

I was about to say.

This thread has completely messed up my thoughts interpreations of the youhurt pot lid saga. I don't know what's happening to me. Was it Minty?

This from the Eastender's website episode guide:

13/2/09

Heather laminates her lucky yoghurt pot lid and hangs it around her neck. Her confidence is unshakeable as she heads to R & R with Shirley. Soon a good looking man, Eddie, starts to dance with Heather. Minty and Darren can't believe he's for real and Dawn tells them Shirley's paying him. Heather loses her lid and is upset, but Shirley tells her she doesn't need it. Heather and Eddie decide to go back to Heather's flat. Dawn tells Heather Shirley's paying Eddie. Heather slaps Shirley and runs to the toilets. Shirley tries to apologise, Heather was so happy she didn't want her to be disappointed. In the bar a man approaches Shirley – he's the escort she'd booked, Eddie liked Heather for real. Back in the toilets someone posts Heather's lid under the cubicle door. She opens the door and an unidentified hand offers her a tissue.

Dunno if this helps...?

What were your initial interpretations then? Maybe you can shed some light on it?

Thanks I found that on my Google searches but nothing about the yoghart pop lid mentioned in the next episode's synopsis. It's the unidentified hand my Nan was querying. As it says it was aired on the 13th and we never found out whose hand it was! Surely the writers couldn't have just forgotten about it?!
