EastEnders casts Derek Branning's daughter Alice...

He mentioned that he did not have a daughter before:joker:.

omg long lost daughter?! good storyline x

What happened to no Daughter? Jesus. This will ruin his character.

And I'm sorry but whenever he is on screen, I sit up and anticipate whatever brilliant one liner he is about to drop - the man is fantastic.
The other night when he popped out from Bianca's door and yelled 'SURPRISE!' well that was just Television gold in itself. Great man, clearly one of the best characters the show has ever seen.

Ugh and she's not even that attractive. Just about scraping a 6/10 - too innocent.

He has a son called Joey too who is joining also...

They need to get rid of him, the character is a joke.

oooo could be good!

i dont watch eastenders much but from what ive seen i agree with patrick..the derek fella is swank

Alice? Who the **** is Alice?

He's just a poor throwback to the horrific gangster days, the actor belongs in pantomine not on Television.

He can stay but only if he performs "Fat Sam's Grand Slam" every night.

Should be sticking around then.

Great news.

The gangster days were great. Two of my favourite ever EE years (2003 and 2005) occured under it. Most seemed to like it as well, particularly as evidenced by the very high viewing figures the show had at the time. '04 and '06, which you also say were crap (as I imagine), weren't that awful either...there was far more than the gangster stuff going on to keep your interest, anyway. But I'm not all that keen on Derek, so I agree in that sense...but all that's just my opinion. I respect yours. :)

yjr quicker derek goes - the quicker EE an recover.
