I only know of Belinda from clips but I've always thought she should have been recasted ages ago. So happy it's by Carli as well bc Martha Kane<3

You mean Slater?

Also loads of other spoilers with a new trailer that's 2 minutes long so reveals a lot

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03cg5mx

She was known as Belinda Peacock when she was in the show originally

Is Belinda just going to be a guest character like she used to be in the 00s or is she a regular? It's not made clear.

Yeah she's back for Charlie's funeral

According to the Radio Times article anyway

Oh I wanted Carli to be a regular</3

It's pointless with Kat leaving again but maybe when Kat is back she might be made permanent

Not sure how they're gonna write Lynne/Little Mo/Zoe away from the funeral if I'm honest - especially when Charlie is supposed to be living with Lynne isn't he?

Hopefully. Although I suppose she wouldn't be that pointless since Stacey's there but if she's never been fussed in keeping close to her sisters she's not going to be interested in sticking around for her cousin.

Not sure, at least one of them will need to return.

I doubt Elaine Lordan will though

I think it's time for a Lynne/Zoe recast

I'm assuming Belinda will be known as Belinda Slater to keep her aside from Linda/Elaine as I think they're completely unrelated

Knowing DTC probably not.

Tbh when I first saw your post I thought it was Elaine's other daughter then I remembered she doesn't have one

LOL I was thinking that as soon as I posted

I won't get my hopes up after Jim's funeral when none of his like 5000 children/grandchildren or whatever bothered to turn up besides the few that conveniently still lived in Walford

Or Zainab not coming to Shabnam's wedding

And Johnny not going to Mick and Linda's

Yeah I suppose there's loads of incidents. I guess Charlie's lucky he's getting one (minor) daughter recasted for the big day!

Kat, Mo and Stacey will be there as well! How fortunate!

OMG if Jean doesn't appear.

No doubt Charlie's new Nephew will turn up despite never knowing him

"There's a downstairs Linda and there's an upstairs Linda" dirty bitch
