There's been an interesting EastEnders rumour circulating the internet over the last number of weeks suggesting that Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb) has a secret, estranged son that nobody - including his daughters Ronnie (Samantha Janus) and Roxy (Rita Simons) - knows about.
It's been suggested that the unknown sibling is to turn up at his father's wedding to Peggy (Barbara Windsor).
However, after checking things out with those in the know, I can confirm that there are no current plans to introduce a long-lost son of Archie Mitchell.
My money's on the next alpha-male casting announcement being that of Syed Masood. As many readers and forum members have already noticed, Syed's mentioned in storylines over the next couple of weeks.
It'll probably take a couple of months for it to happen, but the character must be in the pipeline. We've been wanting to meet him ever since Zainab (Nina Wadia) mentioned him for the first time last year.
