So the big news today is that Jacqueline Jossa will be back on our screens in the New Year as Lauren. I suppose it was on the cards after seeing her again in France but she was never a favourite character of mine. No I was not overly keen either Wallis, I suppose with Peter back in the square I can sort of see why, the only family she has is Jack. She's got quite a large following since winning IACGMOOH why I don't know as she didn't do anything memorable. Might assist the increasing viewing figures though.

Yes she has a big following on social media too apparently, Instagram influencer or the likes. Can't say I'm jumping for joy either but we'll see.

I do hope they’ve made her sign a watertight contract in regards to her advertising any old shit on her Instagram.
Also has she lost any weight? She filters her social media images but the real her was quite visible on screen when she met up with Peter, Ian and Cindy in France and she’s filled out over the years.

The Scum at it's best again has exclusively revealed that Linda's shock at Halloween will be the return of Dean Wicks. Don't know if it's him who has put the rival bid in for the lease of the pawnbrokers though. I hope not. I wonder if we will see Shirley returning too?
Why they do this is beyond me as they take away all elements of the surprise.
Scum by name and Scum by nature!

Interesting casting as she's been mentioned more in forums than she has by Jack in the last God knows how many years. She's mentioned so little that it wouldn't be unfeasible for Denise to not know she even exists lol!
Who was/is her mother and have we ever seen her? I can't remember.

Selina is her Mum and we haven't seen her since 2008 when she went off to France. We have to remember that Penny's paralysis was down to a drug dealer involved with a corrupt Jack who hit her and Selina with his car at a bus stop. Her spine was severed.

We are getting a recast Johnny Carter returning to the Square. I'm pleased to hear that as Linda definitely needs some of her kids around her.

George's adoptive parents are arriving in the New Year for a short stint played by Christopher Fairbank and Elizabeth Counsell.
Eddie and Gloria arrive in Walford to attempt to rebuild bridges with their son George having not seen him for over a decade but it soon becomes clear that the pair are hiding something.

Max Bowden is leaving in the New Year. It sounds like he has been axed. Where that leaves Callum, Jay and Lexi I haven't a clue. Will they bring an old face back again we will wait and see. I think Max did himself no favours mouthing off on social media. Chris Clenshaw sounds like he takes no prisoners and I can't fault him for that.

Has he been sacked for standing up to the homophobic trolls earlier this year? Seems a bit off if that’s the case. Even Soap God Daran Little, he who can write no rubbish, defended Max there, even saying it’ll probably put him at the bottom of the writers list for doing so.

Maybe Max Bowden was Ross Davidsoned, he was sacked by Julia Smith in a dispute once. Apparently the plan was for Andy to run The Dagmar in 1987/1988.

Lauren and Penny are not the only Brannings returning. Rather than Max we are to be treated to an appearance of Tanya.
Good on many levels; A to support Lauren, but also it’s another woman for Jack to make eyes at, and this will wind up Denise, and that’s always good to watch. But in addition she’s Team Jane in the long running saga of Ian and Jane and she will be amazed to see Dead Cindy alive and kicking, and back with Ian, and you just know she will tell Jane in about 30 seconds flat.
