They must be trolling at this point.

I really do like Maddy Hill...

James Forde (Liam Butcher) exiting sometime in the summer - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2/eastenders/news/a644323/eastenders-james-forde-to-leave-liam-butcher-role.html#~pb3TUe9bMMeVMo

Oh good, more normal believable teen characters written out so we can get Coker and Carter overload.

I just didn't think James Forde was very interesting, Carl. I'm perfectly fine with Liam's exit. I thought it was ridiculous that he actually could stomp his foot and insist he was staying in Walford, anyway. Bianca had every right to demand that he go with her and the family. He was a minor, after all.

For those wondering where they might recognize the guy who Babe payed to throw a brick through the Blades window, he (Ojan Genc) also played Dr. Browning's son on Hollyoaks last year.

If we have to deal with laborious Phil the hard-man stories, getting sexy men like Max half naked is certainly a step in the right direction.

Unfortunately, putting 15 different things in front of his lower half defeated the purpose.

They've really miscast Babe. The actress is so gruesomely hammy I can't take anything she does seriously.

DVO may be the worst actress I have ever seen on this show. And DTC basically said she will be back, even as current cast are fired in favor of "names," which is astonishing.

If she will be back, the speculation that she's Lola's mom could certainly be true.

I wonder if they even care about Lola enough to bother. She could turn out to be Shirley's long-lost daughter Sheryl.

So Kat had...twins? And the twin was probably Sean? Uhhhh, OK.

Thrilling isn't it?

At least now we know why he always looked inbred.

I think this is probably the set-up for the spin-off and the twin may be in Ireland. But why? The Kat/Zoe storyline is the show's definitive storyline from the 00's, and I feel this will detract from it. How the hell could Kat not know as well?

Didn't she have the wristband Zoe was born with and gave it to her when she left town? What the hell happened to the other one then?

This was probably the last time EastEnders properly invested in a relationship that prompted a few years worth of story, sadly.

The only way it would have made sense to me is if she'd been so out of it she couldn't remember, like Iva on ATWT.

Even then it just feels silly to me...desperation. I get that Kat has no family to work with, but I wish they'd just recast Zoe instead. EE is consistently poor at bringing in young leading men, and a Sean recast will be no different.

I doubt they'd recast Sean though, so it will probably be a new character.

For some reason, Rob Kazinsky keeps getting work in the US...

It was cute of Kat to say "I got me to a nunnery" but we'd have to believe Kat actually knew the line "Get thee to a nunnery" from Hamlet for her to say it. I think Kat would only think Hamlet was a kind of breakfast item comprising of eggs.

I'm getting very excited about my idea of Jamie Dornan's character on The Fall being Zoe's long lost twin. I can picture him coming to Walford after slaying Kat and Alfie in Ireland and bumping off the Carters one by one, beginning with Babe and continuing on with (in order) Shirley, Dean, Lee and Mick. I'd have him spare Linda and Nancy, though.

Would the nuns even have suitable anaesthesia at their disposal for a C section? June Whitfield's character said they weren't interested in being midwives.

In all seriousness I'm starting to think the moment DTC found out that Danny Mac was leaving Hollyoaks he and Daran Little put their heads together as to who he could play. Kat's long lost son and Zoe's twin? Bingo!
