All of these spoilers are taken from Bryan Kirkwood's interview with digital spy http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/a7...-producer.html



* We'll see Hannah being released from hospital having made some strides into a recovery. Soon after, we'll get her together with Danny Valentine

* We'll see John Paul settle into college life and establish some nice new friendships including a surprising and sweet one with Elliot. John Paul will be embarking on an affair with a very surprising member of the community in the New Year.

* The McQueen family take him into their bosom – Myra's to be precise – and we discover on Christmas Day that Myra's first born was a boy that Nana McQueen made Myra leave in a church on Christmas Day when she was 14. And we see Niall on Christmas Day this year steal a McQueen family photograph and burn it. So this is going to be the big storyline of 2008 – Myra's secret and abandoned son is back to wreak revenge."

* Connecting with Kathy's departure, Mike will start a relationship with Zoe.

* Zoe and Darren come to a horrible end around Christmas time relating to his gambling addiction and his fling with Jess.

* Zoe moves in with Sarah, her new friend, and we see a really delightful relationship develop between Zoe and Mike Barnes.

* Amy and Ste embark on a new life together in their council flat and, in their search for money and to keep their head above water, we've got some eye-popping twists - some very shocking moments."

* Justin strikes up a bit of a friendship with Zak, while his relationship with Katy continues. So he'll be slightly in the background for the next few months but at the top of next year he becomes embroiled in the Jake and Nancy story and he's back with a bang!"

* Jake's relationship with Nancy – we've spent a couple of months just getting them together and hopefully getting the audience to think that it's just a gentle romance.
However, it's weaving the web for a very dark story which reaches its peak in the first few months of the New Year which will incorporate the paternity of Charlie and a very dramatic character change in Nancy.

* Talking about Jacqui's surrogacy, we've laid the foundations – she can't have kids and in the light of Grace's death, Tony is desperate to have kids. It's a very complicated and messy story that sees Tony having a fling with Mercedes, Tina offering to be the surrogate, a pregnancy and abortion along the way. Myra's displeased with everyone's behaviour and it's basically classic McQueen. It's funny and sad at the same time."

* Warren's relationship with Louise is working very well and with Katy's arrival, we've seen a different side to Warren. He gets embroiled with Darren and Jack towards the end of the year which brings more turmoil to the Osbornes over the festive period.
We've got Sean's body – the fact that Warren killed Louise's husband – lying as a secret between them which is great to always have in store…"

* Towards the end of the year, we'll see them return to the centre of the programme with Frankie's decision to become a foster mother. This leads to the arrival of a new and very important character arriving in the shape of Barry 'Newt' Newton, a 15-year-old emo kid who will be someone who a growing number of our audience can identify with.

* I've touched on Rhys and Beth and that's set to explode in a couple of weeks when it's revealed that he's slept with his sister…

* Steph will set play an important role in filling the gap left by O.B.'s departure

* Jess is leaving at the end of the year. She steps rather too readily into Zoe's shoes when Darren starts on his winning streak and they form a Bonnie and Clyde partnership which is very funny but she leaves in a dramatic twist in the New Year episode."

Thanks Billy!

By the looks of things it seems Justin IS the father of Charlie, can't say I'm surprised.

I wonder who JP's new love interest will be? As long as it ain't Kris, I'm happy. Maybe it will be Newt, that would be interesting, First Frankie's son then her foster son.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the Jess/Darren storyline played out, and the Rys/Beth storyline. I hope Beth sticks around and not like Spike ditched out.
