Perhaps Phil and Shirley can make as good a job of bringing up George as they did with their own children...er...
EastEnders producer Brian Kirkwood has promised a happy ending for Heather Trott. ??? I thought she is going to be murdered? Is that a happy ending???
The cleaner - played by Cheryl Fergison - is due to leave the soap at the beginning of next year and Brian revealed to Inside Soap magazine she will find love with Rose's son Andrew, played by Ricky Grover.
He revealed: "Andrew Cotton - Rose's loveable son who we first met during the trip to Southend in the summer - is coming back to Albert Square to woo Heather.
"The pair are a match made in heaven - but that's all I'm going to say for the time being!"
Meanwhile, Brian hinted Sharon Rickman, played by Letitia Dean, could be returning to the Square.
He said: "My answer whenever this particular question came up always used to be that Ronnie Branning filled the role of 'quivery-lipped blonde' in Albert Square.
"But Ronnie has gone now, hasn't she?"

I was hoping she'd get a happy ending with Andrew after the things she's been through. I'm guessing he will have some involvement in her exit though since they've brought him back in.
EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has revealed that her character Heather Trott "couldn't be happier" when Andrew Cotton proposes to her in an upcoming episode.
Andrew, played by Ricky Grover, starts to behave strangely later this month - but Heather is later thrilled to discover that it's because he has been secretly looking at engagement rings.
Fergison told All About Soap: "He tells Heather he has to go and fix Dot's leaky tap, but she discovers he's lying. Her mind goes into overdrive and she's convinced he must be involved in dodgy dealings. She's been let down so many times before, and her initial reaction is to fly off the handle."
"In the end, he proposes with a plastic washer from Dot's tap," she continued. "Heather's thrilled, though, and couldn't be happier - the ring could have been from a lucky-dip bag and she'd have still said yes. She can't believe her luck."
Fergison added that the couple are likely to have a budget wedding if their big day goes ahead.
"It will all be done on a shoestring, but they'll want it to look like the whole William-and-Kate affair," she said. "As for her dress, I'm sure with Mrs Branning and Mrs Cotton interfering, it could be anything from a lacy number to a meringue.
"Whatever they pick, it won't be very Heather-ish and it'll be completely out of her hands. She won't mind - as long as the family pull together to make it a special day, she'll be happy."
TROUBLED Ben Mitchell turns cold-blooded killer as he murders Heather Trott in a shock new EastEnders plot.
Viewers will see the teen leave hapless Hev's flat with his hands dripping in blood.
But no one spots Ben, and later his dad Phil tries to destroy the evidence.
The killing, after a row between Heather and Ben, spawns a new storyline between Phil and girlfriend Shirley. Devastated by the loss of her pal, she suspects his involvement.
Hev's bloody exit was filmed by actress Cheryl Fergison on Tuesday and characters in the frame for her killing will also include Darren Miller and Ian Beale.
Cheryl was devastated to be told her contract was not being renewed.
She then hoped for a heart-warming exit storyline — with an A-list cameo from her character's idol George Michael.
An EastEnders source said: "Heather's exit stuns the Square. Everyone is looking over their shoulder wondering who is responsible."
A show spokesman added: "Heather's life will go through various twists and turns over the next couple of months which will place numerous people in the frame."
Heather will be stunned when Andrew Cotton proposes to her — he also becomes a suspect.
Heather, who will be remembered for her headbands and love of cheese and karaoke, has a son George who was fathered by a then teenage Darren.
Cheryl's exit was cemented when bosses fell out with her over a newspaper story detailing her relationship with Moroccan toyboy lover Yassine Al-Jermini, 25.
They have since married and he has moved to Britain to live with her and her 12-year-old son Alex.
Ben Mitchell turns cold-blooded killer as he murders Heather Trott in a shock new EastEnders plot.
As there are already discussions on how and who murders her in the Heather Trotts Off thread, this does not come as as shock
Does this mean:
a) Ben is leaving?
b) The soap police display their usual incompetence and are unable to track down the murderer?
c) Tracyluv's lawyer defends Ben and gets him off?
Answers on a postcard please....

EastEnders' murder details revealed?
Published Friday, Jan 20 2012, 10:11 GMT |
Not the wisest thing to do if you want to keep your job!
There's an interesting little article in next week's Radio Times titled, "6 ways to leave a soap". No.1 is "In a coffin" It says, "Death is the favoured method of retiring a popular soap character...EastEnders has bumped off an alarming 93 characters in just under 27 years. There's no coming back from the grave - unless you're Dirty Den...some were killed off at the actors' request, while others have been dispatched, it's said, because the actors were a nightmare to work with."
The next four are "In a cab", "To chokey", "In a hurry", "On a plane".
No. 6 in the list of ways to leave is "Happy ever after" with the comment, "Hardly ever happens."
EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has warned that there will be significant tension ahead between Andrew Cotton and Shirley Carter in upcoming episodes.
The actress's character Heather Trott excitedly agrees to marry boyfriend Andrew (Ricky Grover) when he pops the question unexpectedly next week - but her best friend Shirley (Linda Henry) may take longer to warm to him.
In an interview with Inside Soap, Fergison admitted that Heather is taking a risk by making a commitment to Andrew as he has already shown a darker side.
"Heather has put her trust in Andrew in a very short space of time. Recently she walked into the café to see Andrew turn over a table in anger, so she knows he has a temper," Fergison explained.
"But Heather really wants things to work out. She's aware there are alarm bells ringing, and whereas in the past she would have totally ignored them, she's more wary these days. But when better things override that and he's her lovely Andrew again, it's all fine."
Revealing Shirley's take on the situation, she continued: "There has always been friction between Shirley and whichever man Heather gets involved with. I think she was even jealous of baby George when he was born.
"That means there'll be serious sparks as the friction between Andrew and Shirley grows. We're talking fire and brimstone! And that's going to bring out this other side of Andrew once more."
EastEnders fans will see Heather depart the show in a few weeks' time - as announced by bosses last year.
CHERYL Fergison vowed to come back and haunt EastEnders after bosses refused to let her play Heather Trott's final scenes.
They were deemed "too violent" for the actress and a male stunt double was used instead. :D Im saying nothinThe Sun exclusively revealed Heather would be killed by Ben Mitchell(Joshua Pascoe).
And as Cheryl watched Heather's grisly exit, she told EastEnders pals: "It's my last scene and I'm not even in it!
"I'm going to come back to haunt EastEnders as a ghost."
It was another bitter blow for the star. She had wanted her popular character to have a heart-warming exit and was upset when it was decided to kill off Heather.
Cheryl's departure was cemented when bosses fell out with her over a newspaper story detailing her relationship with Moroccan toyboy lover Yassine Al-Jermoni, 25.
They have since married and Yassine has moved to Britain to live with Cheryl and 12-year-old son Alex.
Meanwhile, a senior member of the show's backroom staff has been sacked for criticising the soap and posting personal details of the cast online.
After a delay in filming, the "first assistant" moaned on Twitter: "Another day's schedule screwed."
He also uploaded details of the show's "call sheet" which revealed phone numbers and sensitive information about the stars and colleagues.
A spokeswoman for EastEnders said: "We never comment on individual staff matters.
"However, appropriate action will be taken against anyone found in breach of their BBC contract."
I think once Heather departs the square it will be the last we see of Cheryl unless it's on a reality show. I think given the recent activites in her private life she will find it difficult to secure any future acting roles.
EastEnders actress Cheryl Fergison has revealed she would love to head to Downton Abbey now she is leaving Albert Square.
The soap star - who has played Heather Trott for nearly five years - is leaving the show soon, and thinks her CV is just right for a part in the ITV costume drama.
Cheryl told Inside Soap magazine: "I'd really love to be in Downton Abbey.
"Before I got EastEnders I used to do lots of 'under stairs' roles, but perhaps I could go upstairs this time and prance around a bit. I'd love to do all that."
Heather will have a step towards a happy ending on the soap, as Dot's nephew Andrew Cotton is set to propose to the single mum. But it has also been reported that Heather's exit will see her murdered by angry teen Ben Mitchell.
Cheryl said: "I've watched EastEnders since the day it started when I was student in Manchester.
"I've loved being here and every minute of playing Heather.
"But now I can do anything I want, so it's really exciting. If I could have a wish list I'd love to go to Morocco and do documentaries with my husband, Yassine."
Just like Heather, Cheryl had her own whirlwind romance and married toyboy Yassine Al-Jermoni last year.

What activities in her private life warranted her getting the sack, I know she got married and he moved to the UK. Why did this get up Bryan Kirkwoods nose ?
