Following my plea for questions, I've been bombarded with loads. So I thought it about time that I answered some.
I'll make this one an EastEnders orientated Q&A sesh. Here goes:
Can you confirm whether Naomi is leaving EastEnders?
Yep, this is 100% correct. She'll be leaving fairly soon. And not before time. I'm now taking money on Keith Miller being the next useless character to get the boot.
Are we going to see the brilliant Jack Edwards (Nicky Henson) and Auntie Caroline (Una Stubbs) again sometime soon?
My sources tell me that there are no current plans for these two to reprise their roles just yet. I agree; they're fantastic and I'm assured they'll be back. And while we're talking about Honey's father, watch out for Honey and Billy's storyline over the next couple of weeks. They're struggling for cash...
Is Hazel Hobbs (Kika Mirylees) going to be a full time character?
I'm told that her character isn't a full timer. She'll just be one of these recurring ones like Stacey's mother, Jean (Gillian Wright).
When does Kevin Wicks (Phil Daniels) return to the Square?
Kevin re-appears on March 8 - my birthday (shameless plug) - returning in a 'blaze' of glory. I've just seen the pics for that week and the bus crash looks interesting. And things go from bad to worse even when he's back in Walford.
Where is the Ben-Stella-Phil storyline actually going?
I actually thought this storyline was going to bore me a little, but I've actually quite enjoyed it. Sophie Thompson is an top-class actress. We all know Stella's one round short of a full loaf and there's definitely more to come from these three. It all hots up at the end of March. Can't wait!
Please do keep your questions coming in for all the soaps. Next time, however, I'll have my scoops in Coronation Street mode.
