EastEnders’ Bianca Jackson is back on the block – with four new kids in tow.
The redhead’s gaggle of children enter the Square at the beginning of next month, at the same time as the return of Sid Owen as Ricky Butcher, and the BBC soap’s Frank Week, which celebrates the life of comic legend Mike Reid.
Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer, holds her children in a special place in her heart, despite one of them, Whitney Dean, not being her biological daughter.
At 15, Whitney’s a teenage drama queen, unable to engage brain before mouth and constantly finds herself in and out of trouble.
Despite there being no blood connection, Bianca sees Whitney not only as one of her own, but also as a friend and confidante.
Whitney’s trucker father, Nathan, tragically died in a road accident in 2003, leaving behind his daughter with his then partner, Bianca.
Shortly after Nathan’s death, Bianca gave birth to Tiffany Dean, named after her now dead best friend, Tiffany Mitchell.
The youngster’s cute, butter-wouldn’t-melt exterior masks her somewhat mature understanding of adult matters. She sees all, hears all and knows all, and even at five years old has blackmailed her elder sister.
Bianca found new romance in the form of the now imprisoned Tony, a liaison that led to the birth of her youngest son, Morgan.
The fourth and final part of the ‘Jackson jigsaw’ comes in the shape of the cornerstone of Ricky and Bianca’s rocky relationship – nine-year-old Liam Butcher.
When the iconic Walford couple parted ways, Liam initially lived with Bianca in
Manchester, but Ricky turned up and Bianca reluctantly agreed to let Liam live with his father.
Since returning to live with Bianca, and with stepdad Tony in prison, Liam’s taken to being the man of the house. He’s not very academic, but is always willing to try new things – a trait which sees him quite often in trouble.
His laddish demeanour, however, is softened by the affection he is not afraid to show his mum.
The Jackson Five first appear in Walford on Tuesday, April 1 at 7.30pm.

She looks ace! I can see her being a right character.
EASTENDERS babe Rita Simons (Roxy Mitchell) is suffering from scoliosis - a disorder which can only be treated with major surgery.
Scoliosis, which causes curvature of the spine, has made the popular blonde soap star two inches shorter than she should be.
She told New! magazine: "I should be 5ft 6ins but I have scoliosis, and that has made me two inches shorter.
"I was diagnosed with it when I was doing ballet as a kid. There's nothing they can do except a massive operation, which I won't be having.
But despite her condition, Rita keeps super-fit and healthy - even during her pregnancy two years ago - as she was determined not to become "fat and frumpy".
She added: "When you've had twins you're more image-conscious because you don't want to be the fat, frumpy mum you can easily become.
"I trained throughout my pregnancy, and the minute I could run after the births, I did."
And it looks as if her running skills could come in handy for escaping the clutches of her fans!
"So far I'm getting people shouting 'Rita', which I know will turn into 'Roxy!'
"People are just looking at me in the street a bit longer than before. At the moment I'm fine with it, but when it kicks in I'll be freaked out."
Aw! Poor Rita, get well soon.
MarkWaldorf

EASTENDERS has pushed back the boundaries with story lines of murder, domestic violence and gangsters coming back from the dead.
But tonight viewers will watch one of the soap’s most controversial yet – as Tanya Branning buries her cheating husband Max ALIVE.
Jake Wood, who plays Max, admits the plot – in which Tanya (Jo Joyner) leaves him to suffocate in a shallow grave in revenge for him bedding his daughter-in-law – is disturbing.
But the 35-year-old says: “They’re great episodes and brilliantly written. It’s everything you can hope for when you’re on EastEnders, that you’ll keep busy and do successful story lines.
“Being buried alive seems quite extreme when you first read about it but the writers have done it justice.
“When they do something like this you just hope it’s written well so it doesn’t seem like it’s just come out of nowhere – and I don’t think this does.
“Viewers who have been watching for the last 18 months will see where Tanya’s motives have come from.
“It’s been done sensitively in that it’s the culmination of a year’s story lines. It does make sense rather than being crowbarred in for shock value.”
In episodes tonight and tomorrow viewers will see Tanya cook Max a romantic dinner then drug him.
Her lover Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky) then helps her carry unconscious Max into a forest where he has dug a shallow grave and put a coffin inside.
Max is dumped into the box and left to wake up and be slowly starved of oxygen.
The revenge comes after Max’s affair with his daughter-in-law Stacey (Lacey Turner) was revealed at Christmas – an episode which this week earned EastEnders a Bafta nomination.
Jake explains: “Being buried alive is Max’s greatest fear since his dad Jim did it to him when he was a child.
“The last thing you see on Friday is Max being lowered into the ground.”
Jake will not reveal Max’s fate – though he does coyly admit he has not been at work for the past seven weeks.
Employed or not, he is keen to defend the show from famous detractors including Michelle Collins and Sir David Jason, who have said EastEnders is too sexual and violent.
And he says he’d be happy for his daughter Amber, three, to watch the show when she gets a bit older.
He says: “I think what the BBC do is very responsible.
“The whole family can sit down and watch it once the children are of a certain age.”
Away from his womanising character Jake is a softly-spoken family man.
After a career spanning more than 20 years, including appearances on hit shows Only Fools And Horses, Red Dwarf and One Foot In The Grave, Jake decided to take the plunge and join EastEnders a year after his wife Alison gave birth to Amber.
He asked to be written out of the soap to spend time with Alison and Amber as well as their six-week old baby – who The Sun can reveal has been named Buster.
Jake says with a smile: “It’s been lovely for the past seven weeks just to spend some time with my family. It’s great being a dad again.
“I knew EastEnders would change my life in terms of the hours I worked and getting recognised, so I did consider it very carefully.
“But I love the benefits it has brought me. Joining the show was the best decision I’ve made.”
On our short walk from the This Morning studios in London, where he has been filming, to the restaurant where our interview takes place, Jake is recognised by almost everyone who passes.
He says: “People are generally just happy to see someone off the telly and are pretty nice, I always give a wave and say ‘hello’. It is a funny thing to get used to but my daughter thinks it’s completely normal.
“She spots me on the front of magazines in supermarkets and says, ‘There’s Daddy’. She thinks everyone’s daddy is on the front of magazines.
“Mind you, I picked her up from the nursery the other day and one of the kids shouted ‘Max’, which puzzled her.
“It will be a few years before she gets the hang of what being famous means.
“She’s been down to the set quite a few times so she knows what I do for a living but it doesn’t mean much at the moment.”
Jake is nominated for Best Villian and Best Actor in May’s British Soap Awards.
Much of the success has been down to his great on-screen chemistry with both wife Tanya, and former mistress Stacey.
In fact, he reveals, the affair between Max and Stacey was originally meant to last for only three months but the reaction from viewers was so good that producers decided to extend it for a year. It was also the centre of the soap’s Bafta-nominated Christmas episode.
Jake says: “I love the show for that, it’s quite organic. If the writers see something on screen they like they’ll extend it.
“When you’re paired with someone it can sometimes work brilliantly. All our TV family got incredibly lucky, the whole unit feels very strong.
“Lacey and Charlie Clements, who plays my son Bradley, are both very instinctive actors. Looking back at myself at that age, I don’t think I’d have been able to cope with it half as well as they can.
“I’ve got 20 years experience on them but I don’t see that there’s any difference between them and me.”
Having to kiss not one but two women on screen was at first strange for both Jake and his wife Alison.
He admits: “There’s an adjustment you have to make when you realise what effect it can have on your life, your family, your friends.
“That was all part of the learning curve. But hopefully as a family we’ve learned to deal with that. It wasn’t any more embarrassing with Lacey than with Jo.
“You’re there to make it as realistic as possible, it’s a job.” As a Branning, Jake gets to work with some of Albert Square’s finest actors, including June Brown, who plays his mother-in-law Dot, and – before his stroke last year – his father Jim, who is played by John Bardon.
Jake is thrilled at the news John is recovering so well that he may be back in the soap later this year.
He says: “We get reports back from June, who sees him an awful lot.
“I know he wants to come back and that would be amazing, he’s missed. He’s very much loved by everyone at EastEnders and the public, too.
“It would be so powerful. I don’t think it’s ever happened before that someone’s had a stroke and come back into a show with that written into the story line.
“His dressing room is still as it was and until he says he doesn’t want to come back that was always going to be the case.”
But the big question is – will Jake still be at EastEnders when John makes his return, or is Max to be killed off?
Jake is giving nothing away. He says with a smile: “I’ve had a wonderful time at EastEnders and I’m enjoying a break.
“Whether or not I’m going back, you’ll just have to wait and see.”

BURIED alive in a coffin, Max is living his worst nightmare. As her husband desperately tries to claw his way out of his shallow grave, Tanya has to decide whether to leave him to rot or spare his life.
Can she really go through with murdering the father of her children?
“I don’t think Tanya has thought of the consequences of killing Max,” says Jo Joyner, who plays her.
As the week begins, Tanya and Sean are still in the woods, staring down at the coffin containing Max.
He starts to come round from the sleeping pills, and Tanya and Sean hear a muffled banging as he tries to escape his wooden tomb.
At first, Tanya is rooted to the spot, but then she falls to her knees and starts throwing earth on top of the coffin.
“Once she’s made the decision, she is frantic. She just needs to get it done,” explains Jo.
Meanwhile, Max reaches his mobile. He calls home for help and gets Abi * but can’t get a word in as she excitedly chats away!
As more soil thuds onto the coffin, Max’s reception dies away. He realises all hope is lost.
Tanya tells Sean she thinks she can still hear Max. But Sean assures her that he’s dead and that they need to head back.
On her return, Tanya is quizzed by Lauren about her change of clothes and the unfinished meal for two on the dining table.
She accuses her mum of fighting with Max and asks when he is coming home.
Later, Tanya is sickened by her own actions when Abi reveals she has bought Max his favourite sweets.
“Tanya knows how much the girls love their father,” says Jo. “She may not want Max in her life, but she realises he is a great dad.”
Meanwhile, Stacey sees Sean’s muddy clothes and knows he has done something to Max. When her brother struggles to conceal his guilt, Stacey storms round to demand answers from Tanya.
Back in the coffin, Max is close to death and whispers, “Dad.”
Has he breathed his last, or will Tanya mount a last-gasp rescue?
“Viewers will have to wait and see what happens,” teases Jo. “But there are some tough times ahead for Tanya!”
It's also been revealed that Penny (jack's daughter) will return soon.

Tanya digs up the best plot
Jon Wise
Tanya Branning turned nuttier than a bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes in a superb Easter EastEnders that saw her bury her husband Max alive.
This is one mean, messed-up, wannabe divorcee that makes Heather Mills seem like Mary Poppins.
Not content with dragging Max through the courts to try to take part of his money, a la Ms Mills, Tanya decided her only way out was to kill the cheating love rat.
Of course. Because there's no other reasonable course of action in such a situation.
Mind you, she did come to her grisly conclusion after sleeping with the ginger nut one last time...that could push any woman over the edge.
EastEnders have cleverly kept Tanya, left, simmering away for more than a year now before finally letting her boil (bunny boil, more like) over.
And die-hard fans will know that Max revealed over a year ago that his biggest fear is being buried alive.
Putting in a performance that deserves a win at the British Soap Awards in May, Jo Joyner showed just how it should be done.
Ok, so Tanya had clearly been watching too many Midsomer Murders - running around with a spade, the jitters and a coffin. But it was more gripping than one of Chris Fountain's G-strings.
With the help of Sean Slater, who has finally become one of the best characters in the show (just in time for him to leave), Tanya plotted to bury Max alive.
After emptying the crushed-up remnants of an Amy Winehouse night-out into Max's wine, Tanya and Sean dragged the drugged two-timer out into the woods.
And just as he woke in his lidless coffin, Tanya whispered: "It's your worst nightmare, remember. Now you're going to know.
Now you're going to understand just a tiny little bit of how I feel."
Ouch.
There was a distinct lack of Easter cheer to the episode, what with Ian and Jane being called in to the police station to identify a girl's dead body, believed to be his daughter Lucy.
But this is dreary Walford, after all.
When EastEnders get it right, it's as blissful as catching Paul Burrell out as a liar.
Scriptwriters have always created strong, determined women...Cindy Beale, Pat Evans, Janine Butcher.
But with Tanya they've explored a vulnerable side as well.
Tanya vowed to love Max "Till death do us part".
Well, at least she kept her word.

Possible Big Spoiler
In Inside Soap it states that Tanya is going to get close to a member of the Branning family and that Jacks going to get a new woman other than Ronnie. It also said that Max is going to be happy when he returns and sees that his home life has changed. The way I read it is that Tanya and Jack will get together, but maybe I'm reading it wrong.

LOOK what the cat dragged in, it’s the return of Biancaaaa.
Patsy Palmer makes her EastEnders comeback next month with all her worldly posessions in BIN BAGS.
She slinks back to Walford with her tail between her legs and four kids after being made homeless. A source says: “Bianca and her brood return in the dead of night to see her friend Charmaine.”
Things go from bad to worse as Bianca and Ricky launch straight back into a row when they finally reunite.
Bianca – last in the show nine years ago – is too embarrassed to reveal she’s homeless and does a runner from the cafe toilet. Just like old times . . .
*Bianca is 8/11 to leave the BBC show before on-screen husband Ricky, according to bookmaker Ladbrokes.

I meant to type isn't happy. The exact words from the article are "He left promising to keep his distance from Tanya, but Max has never been a man of his word. When he returns to the square later this year, however, Max is going to discover that his family have moved on - and his place in their hearts have been taken by another..."
+also on the front cover, there's a picture of Tanya and Jack and the title says 'New passions?' so I definitley think there's something going to happen between the two.

I loved it tonight! I've never really thought much of Sean until tonight, he was great and has been these past few episodes. It'll be a loss for EE when he goes, as there's nobody else really who could fill his shoes, unless they bring in a new character, which they usually do.

From The Sun = http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...ticle974319.ece
AS he watched an empty coffin being lowered into a grave, EastEnders star Sid Owen found himself crying real tears.
Although he was filming the fictional funeral of his on-screen dad Frank Butcher, the scenes had an added poignancy — for actor Mike Reid had suffered a real-life fatal heart attack just months earlier.
And Sid, 36, who was asked to return to Walford as lovable Ricky as a tribute to Mike, was still grieving for his mentor.
In his only newspaper interview to mark his TV comeback, Sid says: “Normally when the camera’s not rolling you have a laugh — but this was different.
“For me and some of the actors who were close to Mike, like Barbara Windsor, who plays Peggy, and Pam St Clement, who plays Pat, it was different because it was real life, it happened.
“It was our way of saying goodbye to Mike.
"When we did the scenes inside the church they played a Frank Sinatra song and I got really choked up.
"There wasn’t any acting needed.
“It was quite overwhelming really, and very sad.
"Mike was a legend. We were close. I’ve stayed at his house, he’d stayed at mine.
Missed ... comic Mike
“Your lives move on when you don’t work together but you never forget that bond.”
Comedian Mike was at his holiday home in Spain when he collapsed and died at the age of 67 last July.
Bosses at EastEnders decided to write Frank’s death into the soap as a tribute to the star, and invited a host of old faces to film the funeral including Charlie Brooks, 27, and Sophie Lawrence, 35, who played his daughters Janine and Diane.
Ricky was such a popular character that he is to stay long-term, along with Patsy Palmer, 35, who plays his ex-wife Bianca.
But his delight at coming back to the soap is tinged with the sadness that Mike won't be there.
Sid explains: “I remember exactly where I was when I found out about Mike — this is going to sound poncy but I was sitting in my hot tub at my home in Brighton. I was so shocked.
“I was close to Mike but it didn’t sink in until I went to his funeral the next week. It was really packed.
“I sat next to Mike’s manager for the service and I saw his wife walking behind the coffin — she was in bits, absolute pieces.
“When I came out, a journalist asked for my memories of Mike but I thought, ‘I can’t really talk about it’. It was really upsetting and I had to get my own thoughts together first.
“The whole thing was so sad, I just didn’t want to hang about, so I got in my car and drove home. Pam called later to find out where I’d gone. I felt guilty about leaving but I’m glad I paid my respects.”
Sid says Mike taught him so much — and credits him with inventing the “Rick-aaay” catchphrase that has haunted the actor since he joined the soap in 1988.
And he reckons the storyline of Frank’s death is a fantastic tribute to the great man himself.
Sid says: “Mike was brilliant. A lot of the storylines were about Frank getting cross with Ricky.
“When he had an angry scene he’d get really into it. His face would almost explode and it would go red.
“I just couldn’t help but laugh — I couldn’t keep a straight face with him. The more serious he got, the funnier I found it.
"He was a legend — great actor, great comic. He’s set the standard for comics like Shane Richie, and now Bobby Davro — he proved that they could make the transition to soaps.
“And he was the first to start the whole ‘Rick-aaay’ catchphrase. I dunno if I’ve forgiven him for that!”
Sid and Patsy are among the best-loved soap couples of all time. The last time viewers saw them together in EastEnders, a tearful Bianca was leaving for Manchester on a train with the couple’s baby, Liam, in 1999.
Now she is back with a brood of four children — and a shocked Ricky soon discovers his ex is hard-up and destitute.
The pair stay with Pat, but cast and crew are keeping their lips sealed as to whether they get back together.
Sid says: “I didn’t jump at the chance to come back. I was busy — I’d done The Bill, Bad Girls, I’m A Celebrity and written a cook book.
“To be honest, I’m a lazy bugger and I like my holidays! But I knew Patsy had said yes and working with her again was an offer I just couldn’t say no to.
“Besides, people have never stopped shouting ‘Rick-aaay’ at me — so I might as well get paid for it!”
Sid reckons he knows why the pair are popular. He says: “We’re not your Barbie and Ken, perfect, pretty soap people. Bianca and Ricky are a proper chav couple, they’ve got raw quality.
Check out the video below of Patsy singing.
“Me and Patsy are like brother and sister — we’ve known each other since we were seven. We have that chemistry.
“And we have a laugh filming. Too much of a laugh sometimes — we really get the giggles.”
Sid is happily settled with his actress girlfriend, 24-year-old Polly Parsons.
The pair met in panto — she was Snow White to his Prince Charming — but although the pair live together Sid is in no hurry to start a family.
He says: “We spend our time going for walks or I’ll cook for friends. In the evenings she watches all the soaps and I’m not allowed to speak.
“I’ve told her EastEnders is banned once I’m in it though. I don’t like watching myself!
“We don’t need kids, we’ve got Frank the chihuahua. I would like babies one day but it’s only been 18 months — that’s quite early in a relationship.
“I see people around me who’ve done the marriage bit and are separated.
“I want to be with someone at least a few years before I think about that.
“I’m happy though, Polly’s a great girl. She’s met Patsy and they get on really well, so there’ll be no problems with kissing scenes.
“Not that I’m saying there are any kissing scenes — you’ll just have to wait and see ...”

EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks has revealed that she would not rule out a permanent return to the soap.
The 26-year-old, who plays scheming Janine Butcher, returns for a four-episode stint next week in a bank of tribute episodes for late comic and acting legend Mike Reid.
Speculating about a possible full-time reprisal of the role, she said: "We've spoken about it briefly, I don't know yet. We'll just have to play it by ear. It's definitely given me a taste for the place again.
"I wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much. I just slipped Janine on like an old pair of shoes! She just came straight back and she's just so much fun to play. She's such a cow," she continued. "I really don't know, though - It might not be right for the show but it's something that I'd never not do. We'll have to wait and see.
"I feel like Janine was so wicked, I wouldn't want to ruin it. I don't know if it would, or whether it'd enhance it. I just wouldn't want her to be softened."
She added: "But I'd absolutely have the confidence that they wouldn't ruin Janine - however, they'd have to regulate her."

EASTENDERS bosses plan to turn sexy Dawn Swann into the next Pauline Fowler.
The character, played by Kara Tointon, has been such a hit, bosses are keen to cash in by turning her character into a matriarch.
An insider said: “Pauline was quite a catch back in the day. But after years of being downtrodden by her family you wouldn’t have guessed it.
“Kara is one of the soap’s most popular actresses and they want her to stay in the Square for years. So they’re making her the head of her own family.
“Although it’s not a conventional one, it is a true reflection of family life today.
Saucy
“We’ll just have to wait and see whether she’ll start wearing dowdy cardigans like Pauline.”
Actress Kara, 24, joined the soap as saucy Dawn back in 2005. Her character gave birth to daughter Summer last year.
Show bosses were keen to give her a family of her own so they hooked Dawn up with lovable rogue Jase Dyer and his son Jay.
And it was only a matter of time before they were all living together under one roof.
The move also paved the way for executive producer Diederick Santer to axe her screen stepdad Keith Miller and brother Mickey. And with both of them leaving later this year Dawn will finally be at the head of her own family.
Younger brother Darren is planning to stick around – so she will certainly have her work cut out.
The insider added: “It’s going to be an interesting household with Dawn at the head of the family.
“But she’ll be devoted to keeping her family together.”
^LOL, I can really see this happening. :rolleyes:

ONE of EastEnders’ legendary clans, the Butchers, reunite for the funeral of family head, Frank.
Ricky, Diane, Bianca and Janine all return to Walford to grieve - although Janine seems more interested in the contents of her father’s will than paying her respects!
“She is banking on the will being a big earner for her!” says Charlie Brooks, who is back for three episodes as Janine.
“Once Janine gets a sniff of an inheritance, she is keen to get a piece of the action.”
At the start of the week, Pat and Peggy run into Ricky and his sister Diane, who deliver the shocking news that Frank has died after a long illness.
They all return to Walford, and Pat sets about organising her former husband’s funeral.
Ricky rings his ex-wife Bianca - notorious for the ear-piercing way she used to call him “Rickaaay!” - as he wants their son Liam to attend, but can’t get hold of her.
Meanwhile, former love rivals Pat and Peggy get into a catfight as they look back on their relationships with Frank!
Later, as the funeral procession sets off for the crematorium, Janine makes a dramatic last-minute arrival.
Meanwhile, Bianca and her four kids, Morgan, Tiffany, Whitney and Liam, are being thrown out of a B&B for not paying their bill.
Ricky is delighted when their paths cross later in a cafe, but Bianca is too proud to admit she is homeless and quickly scarpers.
At the reading of the will, Janine waits with bated breath - and is stunned as Frank’s wishes are revealed.
Pat, Ricky and Diane take Frank’s ashes to the gardens, but can’t decide where to scatter them. Janine arrives and takes control, only to break down as the reality of her father’s death sinks in.
“We see a rare moment of goodness from Janine!” adds Charlie, who left the soap in 2004.
“At the end of the day, she did love her father and she redeems herself by coming back to scatter his ashes.
“It was really great to return to EastEnders and see so many old faces back at the same time. It’s given me a real taste for it again!”

IT looks like Bianca Jackson hasn’t lost her fiery temper – as she hurls a brick through her landlord’s window.
Flame-haired actress Patsy Palmer sensationally returns to EastEnders tonight with four wayward kids in tow.
Bianca has fallen on hard times since splitting with Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen) and ends up being chucked out by her landlord after falling behind on her Duke of Kent.
She and her kids have to spend the night in a bus shelter.
Will RICKAAAY – as she famously used to call him – come to her rescue?
LMAO! Trust Bianca :laugh:

SID Owen is so thrilled to be back on EastEnders, he has already decided to stay in the Square longterm.
The 36-year-old who plays Ricky Butcher said: "They originally asked me back for six months but now they've asked me to stay for a lot longer.”
"I was worried about coming back because I did leave before and came back and I thought the public can get a bit bored of you. But I've got some great storylines and it's much better now.”
Owen, who first appeared on the show in 1988, said fans cries of "Rickaay!" in the street - famously uttered by TV love Bianca - had "never really stopped" in spite of his prolonged absence from the show.
"I've had fans shout 'Rickaay!' at me in the street for as long as I can remember. At least I'm paid for it again now!"
To be honest, I think he's doing it for the money. As I remember when he did IACGMOOH, he said he was 'skint' and desperate for money.

IS it getting hot in here? It certainly is in Albert Square - the secret liaison between Sean Slater and Roxie Mitchell is getting seriously steamy.
But the pair are flirting with danger, surely they'll be caught out?
Roxie 'accidentally' drops a bottle and smashes it behind the bar in the Vic, and insists on going out to buy a replacement.
But, of course, it's all a front to slink off and meet up with Sean.
Will Ronnie rumble the raunchy twosome?
It's been a busy old time for Sean Slater - he's only just been dumped by Tanya Branning.

EASTENDER Jo Joyner is warning fans not to be duped by people impersonating her on the internet.
The actress, 30, who plays Tanya Branning in the soap, voiced her fears after discovering that youngsters were being duped into believing they were chatting to her on sites such as Facebook.
She told Inside Soap: “It really worries me as I don’t have a Facebook or Bebo profile or anything like that.
“We’ve had instances where kids have arranged to meet up with me – or some of the other EastEnders actors – in person. But it’s not really us they’re speaking to. It’s a pretty scary situation.
“There’s nothing I can do to control the sites that are already up, though there are a couple that have been stopped.
“We report them to child protection authorities, but you can see that there are still kids writing to these people, who reply and pretend they’re me. I wish I could do more to stop it.”
Her warning comes after a shock Ofcom report revealed that young children using social networking sites such as Facebook, Bebo and MySpace may be in danger from paedophiles and bullies.

Has Bianca always been this sh!t at acting?!! I cant remember her from the first time round as i was only ickle but she is really wooden at the moment. The actress whos plays Whitney really puts her to shame.
She seems to have gone slightly downhill from how she was last time, perhaps she just needs a bit of time to get back into the role.
I must say Ricky has improved since he was last in the show.

WEYMOUTH will be awash with stars when one of the nation's favourite soap operas comes to town next week.
After news this week that a new film will be made in Portland Harbour, the BBC has announced that EastEnders will arrive here on Monday.
Weymouth and Portland Borough Council communications manager Jacqui Gisborne is delighted that the television audience, which reaches 10 million, will get to see the town.
She said: "Having so many people seeing Weymouth on television will be great and we look forward to welcoming those viewers here to experience the delights of the town themselves.
"The locations are so clearly recognisable so it should be a very good showcase for Weymouth.
"It's fantastic for the town to have this kind of profile and to be associated with such an iconic programme."

The four stars who will be filming scenes are Barbara Windsor, Samantha Janus, Rita Simons and Robert Kazinsky. The four characters they play in the programme are Peggy, Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell and Sean Slater.
The television crews will be filming scenes at the beach, the Esplanade and the harbour during the day and night.
A large carousel will be erected on the beach close to the swing boats in preparation for filming.
Seafront operations manager Kevin Good said his beach control team is looking forward to filming as they will be involved.
He said: "It's going to be an exciting week for everybody."
"The staff have been asked to assist with the filming by undertaking their normal duties outside normal hours on the request of the BBC and the EastEnders crew."
Steve Stokes, the owner of Five Star Beach rides on Weymouth Beach, is bringing his original wooden carousel from Exeter for the filming.
He said: "It's going to be very different from our usual days but we can adapt as long as it doesn't snow."
This visit to Dorset comes after the EastEnders crew filmed scenes for the show in Worth Matravers and Kimmeridge in 2006.
Apart from the help of beach control staff there are no planned opportunities for local people to act as extras during filming.
Yay, I love it when we see EE abroad.

BBC bosses asked Mike Reid's widow to approve the tear-jerking funeral of his EastEnders character before it was screened.
The Beeb gave grieving Shirley, 69, a preview of Tuesday's emotional episode - which included some of Frank Butcher's finest moments - as they were worried about upsetting her.
Shirley, mum of their two sons, is still recovering from Mike's death in July at his home in Marbella.
Family friend Bill Reilly said: "She wasn't struck on the idea at first but changed her mind once she'd seen the preview - and was happy for it to run.
"It obviously brought back painful memories and could have been extremely upsetting if it had been handled badly.
"But she thought the BBC approached it in a very dignified way and the end result was a touching tribute to Mike.
"She even managed a laugh over the flashback of Frank turning up on Pat Butcher's doorstep naked apart from a bow tie."
Another friend added: "Shirley felt touched the BBC had taken the trouble to ask for her opinion."

Bianca Jackson is back. A woman who makes Vicky Pollard seem like Mary Poppins.
"Never trust a ginger or brunette, it's a well-known fact." The Apprentice's Jenny is perfect proof of that.
Despite nine years' absence, many more men and nearly as many kids, Bianca doesn't seem to have aged at all.
Still wearing the same silver puffa and pink tracksuit that clashes beautifully with her hair, Bianca has returned.
The much-hyped comeback has brought more controversy than Harriet Harman in a stab proof jacket, and quite rightly.
The trailers have been well planned and it's fair to say EastEnders is back on top, making Corrie seem duller than a date with Roy Cropper.

EASTENDERS’ Roxy Mitchell is in for the mother of all shocks — after she gets knocked up and is left asking: “Who’s the daddy?”
Randy Roxy (Rita Simons) is already frolicking with Albert Square bad boy Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky).
And she will move on to an even less savoury character — sister Ronnie’s on/off fella Jack Branning (Scott Maslen).
She and Jack start flirting after a boozy night and end up taking things a step too far.
After the tryst the pair are mortified and vow never to tell their guilty secret.
Betrayal
Then Roxy realises she’s up the duff — and either fella could be the father.
An insider on the BBC1 soap said: “Viewers will be shocked when Roxy jumps into bed with Jack. It’s the ultimate betrayal.
“Ronnie would be furious with both of them if she found out. They try to keep it a secret by pretending it never happened because Sean will also go ballistic.
“But once Roxy realises there’s a baby on the way her secret starts to prove very difficult to keep.”
The dramatic scenes kick off in a fortnight.

EastEnders stars threatened to leave Dorset after they were yelled at by yobs while filming on a beach.
Rita Simons and Samantha Janus (Roxy and Ronnie Mitchell), Barbara Windsor (Peggy Mitchell) and Rob Kazinsky (Sean Slater) were among cast members left furious when the scene in Weymouth was interrupted.
A show source told The Sun: “The lads were screaming sexual slurs and abuse.
“Some of the cast threatened to get on the first train back to London. There are a lot of fans watching the filming, which is not a problem. But this gang stunned everyone with their abuse. They upset the cast.”
The Mitchell clan are in Weymouth for a series of episodes leading up to the introduction of Larry Lamb as Ronnie and Roxy's dad Archie.

Guess Who's Back In The Square!!!!
Mad May returns to 'EastEnders'
EastEnders actress Amanda Drew is to reprise her controversial Walford role as warped Dr 'Mad' May Wright.
The 38-year-old actress will resurrect her sinister screen counterpart after almost a year's break. Viewers last saw May tangled in the midst of Albert Square's baby abduction storyline which led to her character's exit from the soap.
Last year, BBC bosses made the decision to substantially re-write and re-film the ending to the storyline due to events surrounding Madeleine McCann in Portugal. The climax episode still attracted almost 200 complaints.
The plot saw May and husband Rob Minter (Stuart Laing) attempting to steal Dawn Swann's (Kara Tointon) baby via a forced caesarian and came to a head with Drew's character being arrested and subsequently sectioned.
Now, May is to return to the Square when she overhears Jase Dyer (Stephen Lord) talking about Dawn and baby Summer.
Speaking of her comeback, Drew told The Sun: "May is a gift of a role for any actor because of her complexity. I am so excited to be playing her again.
"It would be a shame to give too much away but she has changed in many ways."
Executive producer Diederick Santer added: "It's great to have Amanda back. Dr May is a hugely popular and exciting character, brilliantly performed by Amanda, and I'm sure viewers will be keen to see what she gets up to and how she's changed."
A spokeswoman for the show this morning told DS: "There are no current plans for Stuart Laing to reprise his role as Rob Minter."
Drew has already begun filming at Elstree Studios, home of EastEnders, and will re-appear on screen in early summer.

The real life husband of the actress who played Stella Crawford is joining the cast of EastEnders.
Richard Lumsden will play an ex of Clare Bates- who happens to be rich and loaded.
"Clare's got plenty of skeletons in her coset, and it'll be interesting to see where Arnold fits".

Will Pat Die?
Albert Square legend Pat Evans will find herself stare mortal danger next month - when she stares death in the face twice in just a matter of days! And the double dose of trauma is made even more shocking by the fact that one of the potentially fatal situations involves the much-loved bookie being assaulted by someone very close to her.
Inside Soap have agreed to keep the identity of the twisted assailant under wraps, but fans will be left speechless.

EASTENDERS was in chaos yesterday after soap beauty Samantha Janus plunged down stairs – smashing her shoulder.
The blonde, 35 – who plays Ronnie Mitchell – was rushed to hospital in agony.
Mum-of-two Sam was last night recuperating at home after doctors confirmed her shoulder was fractured.
The actress tripped as she dashed to go to work.
Her character is in the middle of a major storyline – leaving the BBC1 soap’s production schedule in tatters.
Ronnie is secretly romancing her old flame Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) – after he cheated on her with his ex-wife. A studio insider at Elstree, Herts, said: “Sam was due on set yesterday, so we had to cancel her scenes.
“We don’t know how long it will take her to recover.”
An EastEnders spokeswoman said: “We hope Sam feels better soon.”

Psycho Steven attempts murder in 'Enders
EastEnders' resident teenage psycho Steven Beale stoops to a new low when he attempts to murder his nana Pat by smothering her to death.
Next week, viewers will finally discover that Steven, played by 19-year-old Aaron Sidwell, has been hiding his sister Lucy (Melissa Suffield) from their family in a remote caravan - and it's his gran, Pat (Pam St Clement) who unearths his deceit.
Following her shocking discovery, Pat is accidentally run over by Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) and finds herself laid up with a broken leg. When Steven visits her in hospital, he draws the cubicle curtains and smothers her with a pillow in an attempt to silence her from revealing his secret.
An EastEnders source told DS: "Steven hits rock bottom when Pat finds out that he's been hiding Lucy for all these weeks while his family have been frantically searching for her.
"He desperately wants Ian all to himself, but when Pat realises that Steven knows where Lucy is, he takes drastic steps to prevent his beloved nan from revealing all to Ian."
They added: "He goes from confused to psycho in a matter of minutes, grabbing a pillow and pushing it onto her face."
Sidwell was axed from the soap in February when it was also revealed he would become embroiled in a bisexual storyline involving his step-uncle, Christian Clarke (John Partridge). Over the weekend, he openly backed the decision to drop his character.

EX-EASTENDER Charlie Brooks has signed an estimated £100,000 deal to return as Janine Butcher.
The star, 26, will be back as the murderous former prostitute this autumn – four years after she quit the BBC1 soap.
Charlie has been in talks with bosses about a full-time comeback since her brief appearance at screen dad Frank’s funeral last month.
She said: “I loved coming back for Frank’s funeral.
"It gave me a taste for playing Janine again.
“And I’m excited to see what Janine will be getting up to now.”
’Enders chief Diederick Santer added: “Rejoining us will give us a chance to understand what makes Janine tick.
"We can explore what lies beneath the surface of this unique character.”
Charlie first appeared in 1999 and starred in some of the show’s most harrowing storylines.
She famously murdered her hapless husband Barry Evans and got away with it due to a lack of evidence.
Janine told Frank’s wife Pat what she had done – and when she was later wrongly arrested for Laura Beale’s death, Pat refused to give her an alibi.
Pat came clean in court and Janine left in May 2004.
Her final scenes won her a Best Exit gong at the 2005 British Soap Awards.
Since leaving, Charlie has worked on dramas including Casualty and Heartbeat.

Well, i was watching the EE webcam about 6:00pm last night.
As i was looking at the albert square part, and i noticed a load of crowds around Arthur's bench. Then i saw someone come running from the Beale's house. (used to be the Fowler's). Then it froze, and when it came back on, this person was in the square where everyone was crowded. So i suspect that something is going on :bigsmile:

Huge summer spoilers (from inside soap):
I'd rather Jack!
This summer will see Max return to Albert Square, and he could be in for a massive suprise! The love rat is expecting a warm welcome from wife Tanya - but what he finds is more likely to send a shiver down his spine...''Max has been experiencing 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness - a B&B in Hastings,'' explains EastEnders executive producer Diederick Santer. ''Wether he's changed or if he's after revenge...well, thats for the audience and Tanya to work out. Max is such a complex character that his motives are never immediately clear.''
Mind you, it doesn't take a genius to work out how Max will greet the news that his brother has been cosying up to his missus. After all, he and Jack have never been the best of freinds. ''We've only scratched the surface with Jack - is his reason for wanting to be with Tanya entirely sincere?'' teases Diederick. ''There's loads to explore with the brothers. Everything will be revealed!''
Life's a beach
We've all seen the photos of the Mitchell family heading off on a far-from-harmonious holiday to Weymouth. It's there that Ronnie and pregnant Roxy come face to face with their father Archie, who's soon charming sister-in-law Peggy. But what can viewers expect from this sudden introduction to the most eagerly anticipated EastEnders character of the year?
''Archie will give us a real picture of what his daughters' lives were like when they were growing up,'' confesses Diederick. ''However his memories and Ronnie's memories are a little different. I've only seen a handful of scenes that actor Larry Lamb has done so far, but he's giving a mesmerising and multilayered performance of Archie. I'm really excited by what he's doing.''
Inside Soap has been promised that Archie's first move will be to expose a massive Mitchell secret which is sure to leave fans aghast. Excited? We're already as wild about Archie as Diederick is!
Doctor, Doctor
Pepare for fireworks as mad medic May Wright makes her return to the soap in one of the summers biggest plots. ''It's going to be fantastic,'' beams a Walford source. ''Jase gets talking to a lady somewhere away from the square, little realising who she is - and soon May is pumping him for details about his girlfreind Dawn and baby Summer! Viewers are going to be screaming at their tellies for Jase to stay away from the madwoman. The big question is: What's she going to do with the information she squeezes out of him? One things for sure - fans wont be disappointed. If you thought May was bad news before, just wait till you see what she gets up to this time around.''
Stuck on you
If EastEnders viewers have a common prayer, it's for a reunion between Stacey and Bradley. Now that Steven Beale is out of the picture, satll holder Stacey is back on the market - could her passion for estranged husband Bradley be rekindled? ''Bradley and Stacey are the couple everyone wants to be together,'' concedes Diederick. ''However, there's so much water under the bridge that it would take quite a lot for Bradley to give her another chance. I do think, though, that on some deep level they care deeply for one another. Thats all I'm going to say for now.''
The chips are down for the couch potato...
Wonders will never cease - it seems Keith may be about to get off his sofa and make something of his life! We'll see him leave Albert Square in a couple of months time, but will it be as a winner or a loser? ''Theres going to be a bit of joy and a bit of despair before Keith goes,'' whispers our insider. ''It seems the future is rosy for him at last, but in typical Miller fashion, it soon all comes tumbling down around him. We've got some great comedy scenes in store where he's forced to live with the Masoods - but can he pull himself together and make a success of his life before the time comes to say goodbye?''
A mother's love
Denise Wicks is back in the East End this summer - and she'll be shocked by the state of her daughter Chelsea, who's set to hit rock bottom in the comming weeks. ''Chelsea's confused and angry over the impending return of her dad, Lucas,'' sighs our spy. ''She goes down a bad road and it remains to be seen if even her mum can turn her around. As for Denise, bumping into her ex every day isn't something she'll easily relish!''

Interesting story for Ronnie I think. We seen her emotional side, and the story of how she had the baby was great whoever thought it up.
Also, I have to say, I'm liking the Masood storyline. They really have fitten in! I like Shabnam & the mother, not sure about Tamwar though.
supernoodles!
17-05-2008, 10:35 AM
The Masoods were excellent last night!Brilliant acting and the dialogue was very gripping.I thought Ronnie was brilliant too her emotions were so believable and i liked seeing Heather show her vulnerble and troubled side rather than just her comedy acting.When she was talking to Shirley about how she got bullied at school.I thought she was great.It was a serious episode and sad but i think it was done brilliantly

The Mirror.
17/05/2008
Sean loses it with his mum
Tight-lipped Ronnie Mitchell kept it a closely-guarded secret for more than 20 years that she’d given birth to a baby daughter when only 14.
So how strange she turns blabbermouth and broadcasts sister Roxy being with child just over a week after finding out herself.
In fairness to her, she is given a fright when Sean and Jack fight outside the club on Thursday and knock Roxy to the ground. ‘Oi!’ Ronnie cries angrily. ‘She’s pregnant!’
The look on the men’s faces is one of complete horror as they both think they could be the father.
And the mum-to-be isn’t much help either, as she hasn’t told her big sis that she also enjoyed a breathless tryst with her ex Jack on the office desk.
‘Whose is it?’ Sean barks at her. ‘It’s yours,’ Roxy answers nervously. ‘You stupid tart,’ he snarls, proving that fatherhood might not come too naturally to him.
The bad dad’s response is to go mad on Friday. He kidnaps his own mother, throws her into the back of Uncle Charlie’s new cab and takes her on a terrifying journey to where his father died. All because he thinks that bonkers Jean knew Roxy was pregnant.
‘Why would I ’ave a kid when it could end up like you, all mental and messed-up?’ he taunts. ‘Or it could end up like you, Sean,’ Jean answers back ominously. ‘Evil.’
Incredibly, it’s something as harmless as two ‘family lunches’ on Tuesday that trigger Sean’s psychotic rampages.
His mum does her Thai green curry for the Slaters and invites Roxy, while Jack does bangers, mash and champers, and gives dancing lessons to Tanya and her daughters Abi and Lauren. And this confirms Sean’s deranged suspicions.
‘I mean, what was it,’ he sneers, having threatened to kill any love rival, ‘a quickie in the afternoon? Max treats you like dirt so you jump into bed with the brother? Nobody will ever love you the way I do.’
Sean attacking Jack is enough to confirm to Roxy and Ronnie that the ginger nut should play no part in the baby’s life as they plan to flee to Ibiza.
‘This could be the best fing that’s ’appened to me,’ Roxy tells Ron. ‘Which is why I wanna share it with you.’
‘Course,’ Ronnie smiles. ‘We share everything, don’t we?’
Little does she know what.

Sick Walford star worries over finances
EastEnders star John Bardon is struggling to make ends meet after being out of work for eleven months.
The actor, known for his role as Jim Branning on the BBC One soap, is still recuperating at home and attending frequent physiotherapy sessions after suffering a stroke in June last year.
"People think the BBC pay you when you're not working due to ill health, but that's not so," John's wife Enda told The People. "Actors only get paid for the work they do. There is no animosity between us and the BBC because they don't owe John anything. But there is not much money coming in."
She added: "Thankfully, medical insurance has paid for his physiotherapy twice a week. We are not destitute but if you haven't got money coming in, one day there could be nothing."
Bardon is hoping to return to the soap next month to appear in a one-off episode alongside June Brown, who plays his on-screen wife Dot. He may then make monthly appearances to prepare him for a permanent comeback.
"John's speech comes out as gobbledygook," Enda said. "But he can swear! June Brown stays here. She has been wonderful. I hope being with his colleagues will get more out of him."

DS Spoilers;;
Monday 26th May
Chelsea catches Sean selling something suspicious to a stranger and confronts him about it, but he brushes her off with a snide remark. Over breakfast at the Truemans', Yolande talks to Chelsea about her situation with Lucas but she's evasive – until Yolande suggests that she invites him around for supper, that is.
Later, Chelsea confides in Libby that her meeting with Lucas was a disaster, while Lucas tentatively enters the Minute Mart and is asked around for a meal by Yolande.
Chelsea sees red when she walks in on Lucas, Patrick and Yolande together. The Truemans are confused until Chelsea fills them in about who and what her father is, before walking out and slamming the door. She and Libby head to the club, but when Libby begins throwing up and is caught by Patrick, Chelsea sinks to an all-time low and asks Sean for some drugs…
Meanwhile, Roxy's scanning pictures of Ibiza and begins to think that she may have been a little harsh to Sean. Ronnie's keen to jet of quite quickly, while Roxy's puzzlingly a little more hesitant.
Sean's furious that Roxy's ignoring him and storms around to The Vic, barging Bradley out of the way and knocking his paperwork to the ground. Sean sneaks into the hallway of the pub but is caught by Ronnie.
Later, in a bid to gain Roxy's attention, Sean steals a cherry picker from the building site which Bradley's working on and ascends to The Vic's lounge window – Roxy gets the shock of her life! All Sean wants is to be a family…
Elsewhere, Darren tries to get the house to himself because tonight's 'the night' with Libby, but Jay throws a spanner in the works; the kids hide Wellard from Bianca; and Jack agrees to let Lauren have her party at R&R.
Tuesday 27th May
Roxy's deep in thought until she all-of-a-sudden tells Ronnie that they've got to get out of Walford quickly. Sean asks Roxy to go to the Slaters' for something to eat and Ronnie urges her to, so as to not raise any suspicions as to their true intentions. Later, Peggy is confused when she sees a laptop and various airline documents scattered around the room. She confronts the girls who confess that they're leaving to get away from the hassle of the Square.
Over dinner, Mo and Jean discuss knitting baby clothes, before Roxy excuses herself when she gets a text message. Sean smells a rat and guesses that Ronnie's text her on purpose. When Roxy leaves her bag at the Slaters', Stacey drops it back at The Vic for her, but is shocked to see the travel papers...
Meanwhile, Tanya and Jack are setting up the kids' school disco in R&Rs and the sexual tension is abundant. Dot's alarmed by the unisex toilets, while Lucy's disturbed by Dot's presence at the party. Lauren's despondent that Peter isn't attending. As the party gets going, Lauren tells Lucy that she's changed since she went missing, but Lucy doesn't take the comments too well and a cat fight ensues.
Jane and Tanya argue about the influence their respective daughter has on the other, prompting Jane to storm off. Jack comforts Tanya, while they're being watched on the CCTV camera by Dot. She later confronts Jack over what she saw and tell him not to take advantage of Tanya's vulnerability.
Following the previous night's antics, Yolande's looking after Libby. Chelsea lets Patrick know that she's leaving to live with her Auntie Kim. She locates Sean and gives him the drugs back that she acquired from him the previous night.
Later, Kyle (a city boy) tells Sean that he wants to score. However, he and his three mates rumble Sean and teach him a lesson – he's been selling 'sugar' all this time… Later, Sean pushes Chelsea for the truth – he knows she used the drugs and replaced it with sugar...
Elsewhere, Darren tries to make up with Libby; and Bianca tries to take Wellard to the dogs' home.
Thursday 29th May
Sean sets off for his first day on the bar job and bumps into Chelsea on the way – she quickly denies that she has a drug habit. Stacey, meanwhile, lets Roxy know that she saw the Ibiza tickets. Roxy covers and tells her that they're only for a short break, but remains worried that she may know her true intentions.
At R&R, Ronnie confides in Jack that she and her sister are leaving tonight. Tanya walks in and breaks the atmosphere between the pair. Tanya lets Jack know about what Dot said to her, but Jack blurts out that Ronnie's leaving, prompting Tanya to reluctantly suggest he shouldn't let her go if he still loves her.
Later at the Vic, Jack pleads with Ronnie to stay. She explains she can't but suggests he leave with her. Jack's stunned by her suggestion but before he can make a decision, he's whisked off to rescue Abi and Dot in a broken-down car. Roxy's overheard the conversation, though, and isn't at all impressed.
Stacey's suspicions are roused when she sees Roxy saying a heart-felt goodbye to Christian down Bridge Street. When confronted by an irate Stacey, Peggy unwittingly spills then beans to Stacey - the girls are leaving. Tanya covers her real feelings for Jack as she lets him walk across to The Vic to be with Ronnie. Ronnie, meanwhile, anxiously awaits Jack's arrival, while downstairs, Stacey turns up and confronts Roxy. Roxy asks Stacey to keep quiet for the sake of the baby. Roxy tells Ronnie that it's time to go and as she goes to phone for a cab, Ronnie's phone rings. It's Jack…
Elsewhere, Bianca confiscates Whitney's phone, but Whitney stirs things up between Bianca and Ian; Ricky advises Whitney about how to get back into Bianca's good books; Jack agrees to let Bradley have the VIP room at R&Rs free of charge for his company night; Chelsea reluctantly agrees to spend some time with her brother, Jordan; Jane asks Peggy if she will hold the East London Fishmongers summer party; Whitney lashes out at two girls who have been teasing her in the park, unaware she's being watched by two policemen; and Ronnie makes a surprising phone call…
Friday 30th May
Jack's outside number five banging on the door, shouting Tanya's name. Inside, Lauren's asking Tanya what's going on. Giving up, Jack heads across the Square and sees Ronnie lifting a suitcase into Ricky's cab.
In The Vic, Ronnie pours herself a large vodka as she prepares to say her goodbyes. Peggy offers to speak to Sean to sort things out, but Roxy tells her that because he's dead set on playing dad, she has to leave. As the girls are about to get into the car, Sean opens the door and drags Roxy out. Ricky and Ronnie try and pull him off her but Sean eventually calms down to an extent and they all go back into the pub to talk.
Chelsea's brother Jordan catches her red-handed with drugs, so her plans for the evening quickly change. Clare suggests that they go out for the night, but Chelsea claims she has no cash. Clare musters up a tenner to lend her but when they catch a glimpse of Bradley's work colleagues, their eyes light up.
Later, Mickey accidentally drops a glass of wine down Bradley's boss's top and Bradley tries to wipe it off – she glares at him. Piers, one of Bradley's colleagues, suggests to Chelsea that they head back to his place and share a wrap, while Bradley's boss (Maggie) gives Bradley a peck on the cheek.
Meanwhile, Tanya opens a bottle of wine and heads towards the living room. A chill travels down her spine and her blood runs cold when she hears a familiar voice – Max's voice… As she enters the room, however, she's relived that it's just Abi watching an old family video. Tanya heads across to Jack's and apologises for comparing him to his brother. She insists that her and Max's love is dead. They end up kissing passionately, but Tanya bolts for the door. Jack, however, begs her not to leave…
Elsewhere, preparations are afoot for the Fishmonger party; Jack tries to sort our the VIP mix up at the club for Bradley; Whitney's at the police station after her fight in the park, but the police can't get hold of Bianca; Tanya and Jane make amends; Bianca and Jane have a row in The Vic; and Bianca and Whitney have a heart-to-heart about her behaviour.

Gemma Bissix is planning to leave EastEnders in the summer, say reports.
The actress, who plays maneater Clare Bates, will leave the show when her character's selfish intentions are exposed, reports The Mirror.
A source said: "Clare has been working her way round the men of Walford for the past few months but what she had thought was a masterplan to bag the man of her dreams soon gets out of hand.
"She is forced to flee as it is clear she is not welcome in Albert Square anymore."
Bissix, 24, first starred in the BBC One soap in 1993, but departed five years later with her on-screen father Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley).
She returned to the show in February following a stint in Hollyoaks as the villainous Clare Devine.
DS (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/a96611/gemma-bissix-to-leave-eastenders.html)
I'm not particularly bothered about Clare leaving to be honest. Her character is very one dimensional. She was good at first but her storylines just dried up.
Spike
23-05-2008, 12:12 PM
I haven't liked Clare in EastEnders, I want Gemma to return to Hollyoaks she was great in that.
She was definitely more suited to Hollyoaks, she just hasn't fitted in in Eastenders.

oh is he?thanks for that callum.yeah poor hev bless her heart i felt so sorry for her when minty hugged her and then she left.As much as i LOVE LOVE LOVE eastenders and you will prob never here me put ee down again i have to admit i dont think that minty cheating on hev in her own living room like a week after they got married was very beleivable.I just dont think he would have done that to her.

I feel exactly the same laura. it's so not believable, minty would never do that, he proved how much he loved hev' by marrying her, he wouldn't cheat on her like that and he wouldn't just go "OH HI" when she caught him red handed. i don't know if they'll get back together or not, it could go either way.

i like how they seem to pronounce everyones name with a w
phiwwl,shiwwl lol and how stacey says bradlay instead of pronouncing it bradlee.I guess my accent may seem funny to some people though lol.
