EASTENDER Wellard is going to the great kennel in the sky, TV Biz can reveal.

The lovable alsatian — actually a bitch called Kyte — has grown too old for acting.

And we can reveal that Wellard, originally owned by spotty Robbie Jackson, will be killed off.

A source on the show said last night: “Wellard has been played by three different dogs from the family — Kyte, her mum and grandma.

“But now it’s time for the character to bow out gracefully.”

Wellard first arrived in 1994 when Robbie — played by Dean Gaffney — found him wandering the streets of Walford and started feeding him.

He later took him in and the newcomer lived with the Jacksons until Robbie left to go travelling in India.

Since then poor Wellard has been on a merry-go-round of homes. Robbie left him with his sister Sonia (Natalie Cassidy).

But she could not cope and asked Gus (Mohammed George) to take him in.

Gus handed Wellard to pal Mickey Miller (Joe Swash) when he left. But the Millers could not handle another pet in the house and encouraged Mickey to get rid of him.

Mickey recently sold the dog to Vinnie, who swapped him for Pat Butcher’s pineapple bucket.

And Bianca Jackson’s kids, Whitney and Tiffany, are now Wellard’s proud owners.

He has had lots of ups and downs — including several run-ins with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) after stealing food from the cafe.

Wellard once bit Ian, who retaliated by reporting him to the council.

Gus then had to hide him in the allotments — and Ian was later forced to back down.

Last year Wellard was dognapped by Jay Brown, but quickly released.

And Gus was sick in April after evil Sean Slater tricked him into believing he was eating Wellard in a spaghetti dish he had made.

Sean then set Wellard free, but he found his way back to Gus.

POPULAR EastEnders character Yolande Trueman is to be axed from the series The Voice can exclusively reveal.

Actress Angela Wynter wig days are numbered as producers have decided to terminate the Rastafarian actress’ contract, claiming they have run out of storyline ideas for her Albert Square character, Yolande.

In an exclusive interview with The Voice, Wynter, who has been in the popular BBC soap drama for five years, revealed that she is not sad to leave. She is, however, disappointed with the producer’s excuse for why her character has to be axed.

“I’m not unhappy to leave EastEnders because life is about changes and new beginnings, but I am unhappy about the producers reasoning in how they came to their decision because you can always write stories for people to act,” said Wynter.

“As I told my boss, I am pleased with the work I did in playing Yolande because I made her as believable as possible. As the years progressed Yolande has become a part of the fabric of EastEnders and the wider community who people recognised to be an ultra, super representative of themselves – aunts, sisters and mothers.

“My eyes almost fill every time people tell me how much they love Yolande, because it really makes me appreciate the responsibility that I have been carrying in getting her role right,” Wynter said.

“If it has to end, let it finish on a good note rather then her character becoming weak due to the producers.”

Yolande, the character Wynter based on her sister Merlene who passed away six years ago, arrived on the Square on September 16, 2003, as Patrick Trueman’s love interest after a holiday in Trinidad.

Yolande’s authentic Jamaican accent and assertive, sassy attitude was an instant hit with viewers, especially within the African-Caribbean community.

The holiday romance between Yolande and Patrick, played by Rudolph Walker, developed and they soon became Britain’s most loved black TV couple.

Wynter said she is unable to spill the beans about how Yolande will exit the soap, or what will happen to her beloved husband.

“I can’t tell you anything about how I will be leaving, except for the fact that if I do return I won’t be coming back as a ghost.”

Asked whether or not Patrick will rekindle his relationship with Pat Butcher, Wynter vigorously shook her head, which she perfectly wraps when not playing Yolande.

“Lord God, please, no,” exclaimed the mother of two. “That would be such a disappointment, because it’s imperative to see healthy black couples on screen.

“Patrick and Yolande’s marriage is the only representation of a black union on British TV, which I am very proud to have played.”

Some might wonder whether Wynter is being axed because, following the arrival of Don Gilet, who plays the character Chelsea’s long lost father, Lucas Johnson, EastEnders have exceeded its black quota.

“At the end of the day, everything runs on a quota system,” said the 50-year-old actress. “Presently there are a few black and Asian actors and although it has not been said there could be some truth within that statement.

“If this is true, I am not hurt because I accept that fact that I live in England and it is not �our’ TV station where we can be over-weighted with black or Asian actors and have guest appearances from Caucasian actors – because �we’ are the guest.”

I am so upet Yolande has always been a favorite of mine, this stupid new boss is axing all the wrong characters. If she carrys on the way she's going about it, EE will go downhill. I can gurantee Yolande will be a HUGE loss for the show.

[DamonJ]

Yolande is boring! =D
Glad she is going.

[Callum]

I've always loved Yolande, she adds humour to the show and I love her accent. Poor Patrick as well I can't imagine him without Yolande.

[Jackie]

Didn't like her anyway she was a boring character.

[Barbie]

i like her but i wont notice if she goes

EASTENDERS is launching a shocking child sex abuse storyline which sees Bianca’s step-daughter raped by her hubby.

The BBC1 soap went to kids’ charity the NSPCC for guidance on the sensitive plot, based around 15-year-old Whitney Dean.

Since arriving in Albert Square, Whitney (Shona McGarty), has been involved in a string of scuffles — and cautioned by cops for a street brawl.

But her troubles get far worse following the release of Tony — the husband of mum-of-five Bianca (Patsy Palmer).

It was his prison sentence that left Bianca and her brood homeless.

But Tony — dad of three-year-old Morgan — returns to Walford to wreak devastation on the family.

He cruelly targets Whitney, who is the daughter of fiery Bianca’s dead boyfriend Nathan. And it soon becomes clear Tony has been abusing the teen for years. EastEnders bosses have yet to announce who is playing Tony.

A show insider said: “This storyline has been planned since last year. What you will see is Whitney making sly comments and worrying when she realises Tony is being released from prison.”

There have been no sex abuse plots on the soap — although Kat Slater’s daughter Zoe was the product of abuse by an uncle.

Last night a spokeswoman confirmed: “EastEnders is currently planning a future storyline which will tackle sexual abuse within the Jackson family. The programme is working very closely with the NSPCC so that this subject is accurately and sensitively portrayed.

“EastEnders has successfully drawn attention in the past to a number of sensitive issues including domestic violence, rape and HIV.”

NSPCC spokesman John Grounds said: “Programmes like EastEnders are increasingly helping to raise awareness of the hidden nature of sexual abuse.

“The NSPCC’s work on the EastEnders storyline is aimed at ensuring the portrayal of child abuse accurately reflects the damage it can do to the victim, their family and the wider community.

“This is vital in persuading people to take action to stop it and encouraging children to speak out.”

[Mrluvaluva]

That's a bit controversial. What is happening with Shaun?

[Callum]

OMG dbh-g thanks ever so much for that. That's shocking, will be good to see Whitney get a decent storyline though, I reckon she'll pull it of well.

Well when Roxy gets back apparently they make a try of being a couple but there is going to be a huge storyline near christmas involving Ronnie, Roxy and the Branning family. The baby is also due near Christmas so expect his exit to be involved with that, seeing as the father isn't even known yet.

[Mrluvaluva]
