I thought that yesterday, because it looked like they were trying to hide her stomach. But then they did show her stomach and it didn't look like she was pregnant... but she was wearing a baggyish top. :hmm:.
I didn't notice anything. Can't find anything on google about her being pregnant either.

I dont think she is pregnant. Is she still with Joel Beckett (Jake Moon)
When is her last episode?
Is is true she dies and that Billy gets with Janine
She didn't look pregnant in tonight's episode.

What? :eek: Terrible the way they plan new relationships at the same time as killing off an character.
Billy and Janine? That's just wrong.
Nothing wrong with pairing them but Honey is still alive, it is the plotting of killing her and pairing Billie with Janine already I am shocked about.

well she and Billy were 'together' for quite a while back in the day. can't see Janine being willing to look after someone else's kids myself.
i guess they'll entertain killing Honey off, because i can't think of many other ways she would leave, what about that heart defect her mother had? that would be an easy way of writing her out. but i dont think i could stand seeing poor Billy put through that.
I hope they don't kill her off but its gonna be sad however she leaves

EMMA Barton has been axed by EastEnders.
The actress, 32, who plays Honey Mitchell, was stunned by the news yesterday.
On-screen husband Billy (Perry Fenwick) will stay.
A source said: “Emma’s a lovely actress, but we’ve just come to the end of her storyline. Honey will go this summer.”
The character has had major storylines such as giving birth to Down’s Syndrome girl Janet.
Emma said: “I’m looking forward to going back to musical theatre.”
From The Sun on 19 April 08
It was not her decision and by all the comments on this forum, a very unpopular decision by Eastenders. I also would love for her to stay and with her two children and dopey but lovable Billy I would have thought they should be able to think of storylines for years to come.

Its a shame Honey has been axed she is one of the better characters on the show. I like her relationship with Billy.
I cant see Honey leaving Billy and the kids so i do think she will be killed off
She always looks like a rabbit caught in headlights to me.

Janine and Billy wouldn't make a very good couple in my opinion...a bad, bad decision to axe Honey. :( What were the producers thinking?! I wanted her and Billy to stay on the Square for years to come, seeing them cope with the upbringing of their children.
Has she been axed to make way for Janine coming back?
they already did the whole Janine/Billy thing so I don't think they will do it again... Can't see Janine taking over the mammy role if Honey goes alone
I can't see her being written out in any other way than being killed off myself. When I heard the spoiler I was constantly looking for bits in the episode which could be a way by which they'd split, and I thought that maybe because he lied about going to see the bank manager. She's bound to find out somewhere along the line, but I don't see her leaving the square over it; it's just pathetic, and it would be really hard on the kids, especially with Janet having down's.
I don't see Billy and Janine happening. It's been done, and it's clear she's only interested in money. It was clear enough because she ditched Billy when the money he got from blackmailing Ian ran out, and then she actually married Barry for money. Janine isn't the mother type either, especially not the type that would have the patience to give Janet the extra care that she needs. Has it actually been confirmed that Janine's coming back full time? I thought she was only coming back for Frank's funeral, and that's been and gone.
She will be back for about a year.

How long now till she comes back??
EastEnders star Emma Barton has admitted that she felt "gutted" to be axed from the show.
The actress, who joined the BBC One soap in 2005, was told in April that her character Honey Mitchell would be written out. She filmed her final scenes for the programme a few weeks ago.
Barton told The People: "I was gutted when they told me. I know that's the nature of the job and nothing is forever but I didn't want it to end so soon."
Emma also complained that her exit is being seen as a minor event in comparison to the death of the show's long-standing dog Wellard.
She admitted: "I can't believe I've been upstaged by a dog dying."
The soap star does not have any work booked until December, when she will play Snow White in a Christmas panto. She has confirmed that she is "up for anything", but hopes to reprise her career as a musical theatre performer.
Meanwhile, Perry Fenwick, who plays Honey's husband Billy, has voiced his disapproval of the decision to axe Barton.
"They said the character had come to a natural end but what does that mean? It's gutting for Billy and for me," he explained. "I'll really miss Emma. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy where I am but I do wonder what's next for my character."

Aw that is so awfull. Billy will be gutted.:sick: :thumbsdow
I can't believe that; I think she'd at least give Billy the chance to explain. It just doesn't seem true to the character at all; very poor exit. I feel so sorry for Emma.
Noooooo!
Why do this to Billy!!
I don't like the character much at the moment, and this is just going to make him worse. I didn't see him finding love again after Little Mo, and now that he has two kids and does something like this, I don't think he ever will again. I can see Perry being axed too before long; going out labelled a psycho like the rest of the Mitchell men. Funny way they've got of repaying Perry's loyalty to the show all these years - ruining his character.

'EastEnders' actress "gutted" over axing

Well it doesn't seem fair. Honey deserves a good exit.
What natural end? Billy and Honey were happy after everything they went through trying to get married, Janet having down's and needing a heart operation, struggling to make ends meet.. there's nothing natural about this end where Billy's character is concerned; totally out of character. Billy came to his end ages ago, but they kept finding things to do with the character, some of which were just completely boring. Black cab exit might not be sensational but the character deserved to walk off into the sunset with her family.
I wouldn't have blamed Perry if he quit in protest, and avoided this happening to him at a later date. I can see it now.
Emma Barton has revealed that she is willing to make a return to EastEnders.
The actress made her debut as Honey Mitchell on the BBC One soap in 2005, but was axed last year after producers decided that the character had "come to the end of her storyline".
Barton is currently appearing as Roxie Hart in a touring production of the musical Chicago and hopes to land further TV roles once she completes the run.
Speaking to the Daily Record, she explained: "There's no immediate plans for me to return to EastEnders and I'm off doing my own thing.
"But who knows? Honey could have walked from the Square for good or she could be back on screen two years down the line.
"I'd love to do something totally different on TV like a period drama, but if I did go back to soap acting, then it would have to be with EastEnders. I just couldn't go anywhere else."
Barton admitted that she was "gutted" to be axed last year. She later claimed that producers had made the decision too hastily.
No, no, no.
We need new actors/actresses, not ones returning.
I think she should come back
Billy deserves to be happy!

I hope she returns. What was the point in her leaving in the first place? It was a rubbish decision. Billy now just hangs around like a spare part without her. She needs to come back in my opinion.
And not just that but Billy needs to be able to see his kids more often!

Definetly. I thought when Janet was born with Down's Syndrome, the writers promised that viewers would see the storyline develop as Janet grows up on the Square, so it would be good if they all came back so Honey and Billy can be together and we can see Janet's Down Syndrome storyline develop too.

I thought they had a good long term storyline there.
Exactly! But what did they do.....whisk her off cos they cant be bothered to deal with it.
Ive notcied more recently soaps have more characters with a disablity which is good to create more awareness and its important because its relavant to todays society. They need to bring Janet back
God...i feel like im writing one of my drama essays

They won't bring Honey back as Billy will be getting his marching orders in the next few months for being a boring fart. Ooops sorry another Septic Peg prediction.
