Soaps have that little trick where they mention a long-lost relative of a character to prepare for their imminent arrival.
Well, during last night's EastEnders episode (January 20), Denise was talking about putting her baby up for adoption and happened to mention her sister, Daphne Fox.
Everyone on Twitter was confused and assumed it was the BBC One soap just setting things up for a new character to turn up on Albert Square.

Daphne, who? You know Daphne, your daughter, our sister. That close relative we haven't mentioned, ever, for eight years. #eastenders

However, it turns out we HAVE met Daphne before.
Played by Emi Wokoma, Daphne turned up on the square for one episode back in July 2010 for Denise's funeral, when everyone thought she had died.
If you can't remember that far back, Denise's ex-husband Lucas was a bit of a bad egg.
After he admitted one of his latest crimes to Denise, she tried to get him to tell the police but instead he took her to a canal and strangled her, before locking her up and keeping her prisoner.
Denise says goodbye to her baby in EastEnders
He then murdered a prostitute and identified her body as Denise and in turn made everyone believe Denise had taken her own life.
Obviously she didn't and once everyone realised Denise was still alive and breathing, Daphne didn't hang around.
So that's the reason no one really remembers her and it was a long time ago as well.
While there's no news if the character is returning, Wokoma has recently been playing the lead in musical Soul Sister.

I am sure she will turn up soon ... once they mention a character´s name, they soon appear :D
