EASTENDERS
* Nigel Harman's only been gone minutes but already Jake Maskell, who plays Danny Moon, has taken over as the biggest hunk on the block. He gets more fan mail than anyone else on the show and there are plans to build up his part. Fear not, though - Nigel's back as Dennis in May.
* At last! The video shop in Albert Square is losing all those old videos and getting bang up to date with the latest DVDs. My mole said: "People have complained that no one gets videos." What next - a washing machine?
* 'Enders cast members must have written permission to appear in any charity sporting events. It's not that bosses are being a tad cruel but, rather, that they have to take out insurance policies in case stars get injured and are off sick for some time.
* The 20th anniversary EastEnders book, quietly floated into shops, has not proved the big seller bosses hoped for. A mole told me the paperback version will be launched later in the year - with a big party to announce it properly.
