Oh that is the best news I have heard for years, I love Rustie Lee, I hope she stays after Gus leaves !!!
Is Eastenders having a recruitment drive or something :lol: 3 new characters in like a week :p I have no idea who Rustie is :o....her character sounds fun though :D
I thought Rustie Lee was a man. Who is she?
Rustie Lee is a television chef and actress, most famous for her appearing in the 1980s on TV-am. She was born in Jamaica. According to some sources, Rustie left TV-am under something of a cloud after allegations of product placement for a well-known brand of table salt. However, she also appeared as a presenter on the second, less successful, incarnation of ITV gameshow Game for a Laugh. She was also the subject of a popular joke at the time, involving another celebrity, Jimmy Nail. It would be asked what her name would be after a marriage to Jimmy Nail, with the answer being, Rustie Nail.Quote:

She is wicked ! Loving Rustie Lee, rock on my sexy lady !!
Lol I love her already, think shes great and love the fact it brings more attention to Gus, he got forgotten about, he did quite a bit in the past, not as much as others but still, nice to have him back properly
They where both on this morning, it's such a shame Gus is leaving and we have only got Auntie Opal tomorrow and then that's it, but she was wicked tonight.
How cool is Enders at the moment !!
Awww that really is a shame :(
