Didn't he fluff up when he was on The Bill and they did the live episode.
So they say
EastEnders actress Gillian Wright has praised the relationship between Jean and Stacey - and labelled it "unique".
The actress first appeared as Jean in 2004, the mum of troubled Stacey (Lacey Turner), and both actresses bow out of the soap this year.
Gillian told Inside Soap: "Her relationship with Stacey is unique. Not just because they both live with bipolar disorder, either.
"There's a lot of comedy and they really care for each other. It's all a bit strange at times, but there's a huge amount of love as well."
Gillian said she has no idea what her exit plot holds, but hopes to be offered "something different" for her next role.
EastEnders actor Sid Owen has confirmed his plans to marry long-term partner Polly Parsons.
The soap star revealed in an interview with OK magazine that he got engaged six months ago during a holiday in Barbados.
"I didn't have a ring so I got this guy on the beach to make one out of beads in the reggae colours, as I love my reggae, and I put that in my back pocket and we swam out [to a raft] and I proposed," he said.
Owen and Parsons met four years ago when they both starred in panto Snow White. However, they spent some time apart earlier this year when plans for a wedding this September "became too much" for the couple.
"It was getting ridiculous. We had about a thousand people coming," said Parsons. "It would have been about everyone else - now we've had time apart, we know what's important. It just started to get out of hand and it scared me.
"We had some time apart. But it made us appreciate each other and realise we wanted to be together."
The duo are now planning their nuptials for 2011 and are considering possible venues in France or Barbados.
Michelle Collins has admitted that she is glad EastEnders killed off Cindy Beale.
The actress told What's On TV that she would "probably" have made a return to the BBC soap if the character had been kept alive. Cindy died off screen giving birth in 1998.
"I think Cindy being dead is a good thing," she said. "It removes any temptation to go back.
"I probably would've gone back by now if she were not dead. I look back with fondness and she's become almost iconic, but it was 14 years ago now."
Collins will appear alongside former EastEnders cast member Michael French in BBC hospital drama Casualty. She confessed that they had been nervous about filming scenes together.
"The last time we worked together we were doing rude things in a Portakabin as Cindy and David!" she said. "I think we were both a bit nervous to be honest. It was nice though, he said I'd aged quite well and I said he'd aged quite well too."
She added: "There's no sexual tension this time!"
EASTENDER Barbara Windsor is having a pop at the charts - as bosses plan to release Peggy Mitchell's exit song on iTunes.
Peggy leaves this month with a reworking of the soap's theme tune written especially for her.
In 1986 Angie Watts actress Anita Dobson got to No4 with her version of the song using lyrics: "Anyone can fall in love... "
A source told TV Biz: "It would be amazing to get EastEnders back in the charts."
Ex-EastEnders actor Nigel Harman has joined the cast of Shrek: The Musical, it has been announced.
Harman, who played Dennis Rickman in the BBC soap, will take on the role of Lord Farquaad in the West End production.
The title role of Shrek will be played by Four Lions star Nigel Lindsay, BBC News reports.
The production's producers Bill Damaschke and Caro Newling said that the actors "blew us away with their audition performances". They are continuing to cast a further 28 roles.
In July, it was announced that Amanda Holden and RIchard Blackwood had signed on as Princess Fiona and Donkey respectively.
Shrek: The Musical is scheduled to open at the Theatre Royal on Drury Lane in May 2011.
EastEnders star Emer Kenny has revealed that the door has been left open for her to return to the soap.
It was announced in May that the actress, who plays Zsa Zsa Carter, would be leaving the show, and she admitted that saying goodbye had been emotional.
Speaking of her exit, she told PA: "All I can say is it's a very Zsa Zsa ending and it suits the character. The door is open, which is very nice - I'd absolutely consider going back.
"It was really emotional. It's just like leaving behind a massive family. I really miss it - but onwards and upwards."
Kenny also discussed her part in writing the second series of EastEnders: E20, saying: "I really wanted it to start with a bang. As soon as you come in it's exciting, there's sex and romance and kissing. I wanted it to be really fresh."
She added that she has a part in the first episode of the new series, along with her former co-stars: "It's just a tiny moment," she said. "I don't play a significant part. I just wanted to have the old one coming into contact with the new one and the passing the baton."
Barbara Windsor will reportedly feature in a new advertising campaign just minutes after her final appearance in EastEnders.
PA reports that Windsor will play the 'Queen Of Bingo' in the adverts for a bingo website. She will also be heard using the giggle she made famous in the Carry On movies.
"EastEnders marks the end of one of the happiest chapters of my life but I'm really excited about the future - the giggle is back for good," she said. "Long live the 'Queen Of Bingo'!"
It was not confirmed which day the first commercial will air, but it will be shown on ITV1 15 minutes following the 73-year-old's last episode of EastEnders.
