Heaven Forbid!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there is another that went walking about too.. Jake I think (Danny got shot by him or have I gotten the two mixed up??) he could come back too!!

Jake was last seen being led away by some hitman Johnny Allen organised from prison,when he had a heart attack it was not clear whether he wanted to call the contract off or not. I think viewers were led to believe that he is dead too now, but as this is soapland, I guess he can easily come back some time too.

ah yeah.. now I remember.. Like Paul Truman but unlike Paul, his body been found was never mentioned on the show... they will all come back.. I mean, Michael was a bit of a mystery.. don't think he was every mentioned when all the moon Family was about...

Sounds like the Moons will be taking over the Square

Steve John Shepherd has said that he is thrilled over the news that David Essex will play his screen father in EastEnders.

Last month, it was confirmed that the singer and actor had signed up for the role of charismatic Eddie Moon on the BBC soap.

As well as being dad to Shepherd's character Michael, Eddie has other children who will join him on Albert Square later this year.

Reflecting on Essex's casting, Shepherd told All About Soap: "It's absolutely brilliant news. I grew up listening to David Essex - and my mother will be so excited!

"I'm really chuffed that he wants to do it and I'm definitely looking forward to spending some screen time with him."

Eddie's arrival on screen is expected to mark the beginning of a new era for the Moon clan, and his fractured relationship with Michael will be fully explored in the months ahead.

He is not the only one who is thrilled
