It'd interconnect bits of the square even more. What relation would Cora's granddaughter Abby then be to Ben?

EastEnders fans haven't seen the last of Cora Cross following her apparent exit from the show this week, Digital Spy can confirm.
Ann Mitchell's outspoken character moved away from Albert Square in Tuesday night's episode (December 15), when the local community rallied round to get her a place in sheltered housing.
With few family members remaining on the Square, Cora had found herself sleeping rough over the past few weeks.
In the end, it was Cora's former enemy Aunt Babe who stepped in to help - enlisting the local residents to pressure the council into housing her.
Fans feared that the conclusion to the sad story was the end of Cora's time on the show, but an EastEnders spokesperson has now told Digital Spy that she'll be back in Walford late next year.

The news means that Cora will be taking some time away from our screens, but will she manage to get back on her feet before her return?
Mitchell joined the cast of EastEnders in early 2011, when Cora was introduced as the mum of Tanya Branning.
Her biggest storylines on the Square have included reuniting with her long-lost daughter Ava Hartman and embarking on a relationship with terminally-ill Stan Carter.

her flat is not near the square then, far away
Since Ann Mitchell is taking nearly a year off, it seems - as some of us feared - there'll be no further insight into, or follow up of, Cora's homelessness.
A sit-in by the community (after months of inexplicably ignoring her sleeping rough), a quick spot of blackmail and a hug from Abi makes it all better.
I just don't understand EE at the moment. Just considering the more serious, issue-led storylines: some are treated almost reverentially, while others are glossed over and shallow. Is this down to the people involved in developing individual stories I wonder? Perhaps the decent ones are DTC's pet storylines?
The good news is that Ann Mitchell will be back as Cora.

Surprised we haven't heard anything about her return. She just popped into my train of thought tonight whilst watching EastEnders.
