'EastEnders' Heather baby details revealed?
Details of what are believed to be the name and sex of EastEnders character Heather Trott's baby have been leaked online, DS can reveal.
The Walford cheese lover - played by Cheryl Fergison - is currently seven months pregnant by an unknown man and is due to give birth towards the end of October.
However, there is now some confusion over the details of her unborn child.
At the beginning of July, Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) rumbled her best friend's secret pregnancy when she followed her to the hospital where she was attending a scan appointment.
There, the sonographer informed her that she was having a baby girl and armed with that information, Heather has been mulling various names such as Holly - after her grandmother - and during next week's episodes, she suggests Sheena and Yas as possibilities.
However, a script snippet from an episode at the beginning of November yesterday appeared on the show's official website, seemingly revealing that Heather's baby is, in fact, a boy and that she calls him George after her idol George Michael.
A show source this morning told DS: "There's been so much secrecy surrounding the Heather storyline, to the extent that all of the scripts have either been censored or doctored. The baby's father's called George in all the scripts, so there's a good chance that they could be doing this with the baby as well."
They added: "It's certainly causing a lot of excitement but only a handful of people know the real story..."
Betting recently opened on the 'Who's the Daddy?' storyline, with Heather's ex-husband Minty Peterson (Cliff Parisi) 2/1 favourite.
'Enders 'Who's the Daddy?' betting suspended
Betting has been suspended on EastEnders' ongoing 'Who's the Daddy?' plot following sustained support for one contender.
Ladbrokes opened a book over which Walford man was responsible for Heather Trott's (Cheryl Fergison) shock pregnancy.
Since it began taking bets, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) was backed into the 1/2 odds-on favourite from 5/1.
The original market leader, Heather's ex-husband Minty Peterson (Cliff Parisi), drifted from 2/1 favourite to 4/1 second favourite alongside Eddie (Will Chitty), the mystery man Heather met in R&R.
Darren Miller (Charlie G Hawkins) remained at 6/1, while Garry Hobbs (Ricky Groves) and Vinnie Monks (Bobby Davro) stood at 8/1 when the book closed. Vinine's son Callum (Elliott Jordan) stayed the rank outsider for the duration at 16/1.
Barman Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) and Christian Clarke (John Partridge) remained 10/1 shots and Charlie Slater (Derek Martin) stood at 12/1.
A spokesman for Ladbrokes said: "Viewers may be in the dark about the identity of the baby's dad but punters are in no doubt - they fully expect another addition to the Mitchell clan."
Earlier this week, details emerged about the name and true sex of Heather's as-yet-unborn child.
if I find out there is a lurker from the EE writers team stealing my idea I'm going to roast your conkers.:eek:
