Fenwick promises 'EastEnders' plot twists

Perry Fenwick has revealed that his latest EastEnders storyline will feature many surprises for viewers.

The actor's character Billy Mitchell recently had his life turned upside down when his old friend Julie Perkins turned up in Walford and informed him that he has a grown-up son.

Forthcoming episodes of the BBC soap will see Billy facing the dilemma of whether to track down his son or let the matter rest.

Speaking to Soaplife about what the dream scenario for Billy would be, Fenwick explained: "He hopes to find a man he could be proud of. They haven't told me exactly what's going to happen, but I know they're going to be really clever with this story. There'll be lots of twists and turns."

The star also hinted that viewers should not expect a romance to develop between Billy and Julie (Cathy Murphy) any time soon.

He said: "They're good sparring partners and get on well, but I don't think he's ready for romance. He's still not over Honey. He wears his wedding ring and hopes one day she'll come round the corner with the kids."

Fenwick has previously described his new storyline as a "great acting challenge".
