'Watch this space': former EastEnders star hints at co-star's return after death
A former EastEnders actress has shared her thoughts on whether a co-star could return despite having been killed off offscreen in the soap.
In 2018, Vincent, played by Richard Blackwood, it was implied that he was killed off but since his death wasn't shown, fans have wondered if he ever really died.
Tameka Empson, who played Kim Fox until recently, seemed to hint at a possible return for Vincent, supporting the fan theory.
Speaking to The Mirror, she said fans should 'watch this space' when she was asked if Vincent could possibly return.
When asked about his return, Tameka said: 'Well where is he? And if he turns up he's got to turn up with something in his hands, cos it's been a long while now.
'We've cared for the children, out of house and everything. Watch this space people.'
After reaching a dark turn, Vincent's drama with Aidan Maguire led to a mystery death and saw him leave the show seven years ago.
He told the police everything he knew about the villain and planned to go into witness protection but his wife Kim was against the idea.
Vincent didn't realise that the police officers he was talking to were corrupt and working for Maguire. They drove off with him in the car and pointed a gun at him.
Fans were lead to believe that he had been killed but they never saw what happened after the car scene.
A few years later, Vincent's wallet was found, further implying that he had died when it was returned by Howie Danes.

Howie claimed his name was Vince but Kim dug around for more information about him and Phil Mitchell told Kim's sister Denise that Aidan made sure Vincent was killed.
Howie saw a murder take place and found the wallet at the crime scene with Kim distraught and believing it was likely Vincent that was killed.
Fans seem sure that it could have been a fake death and that there is still some possibility that Vincent might return unscathed.

Morehead State will recognize Giants great Phil Simms with honorary stadium naming
Morehead State University will rename its football stadium after one of its most famous alums, Super Bowl-winning quarterback Phil Simms, on Oct. 18 (Homecoming Day).Simms was the first FCS player to be an NFL Draft pick in 1979. Retired New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms has had many an honor bestowed upon him in his long career in football. The 1979 first-round pick of the Giants has been enshrined in the team's Ring of Honor and had his No. 11 jersey retired. He was also the MVP of Super Bowl XXI and was the first player to utter the phrase, "I'm going to Disney World!" Now comes another honor. This time from his college alma mater, Morehead State. The school is renaming its football stadium, currently named Jayne Stadium, after Simms this fall. From MSU Athletics: Football fans at Morehead State University will soon have a new name for the stadium. One of Morehead State University's most famous alums, Super Bowl-winning quarterback Phil Simms (Class of 2015), will have MSU's football stadium named in his honor. The official dedication ceremony will take place during Homecoming 2025. The naming ceremony for Phil Simms Stadium will be held outside the stadium at 10:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, October 18. MSU invites the public to attend. Simms, a Springfield, Kentucky native, came to Morehead State from Louisville Southern High School in 1975. In 1977, he was named the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year and finished his career at Morehead State with 5,545 passing years and 32 touchdowns passing. In addition to being named OVC Player of the Year, he was an All-OVC First-Team selection. Simms has not publicly commented on the honor as of yet. Morehead State was little-known to the nation before Simms got there. He put them on the map, so to speak. "Phil Simms has remained loyal to MSU throughout the years," said Kelly Wells (Class of 1995), MSU Director of Athletics. "He has given MSU his time, talent, and treasure to MSU since his days as a college athlete. He has visited Morehead during the summers to host summer camps for young athletes and encouraged them to consider MSU. He has mentored MSU coaches and players throughout the years. Most notable, he has hosted numerous fundraising events and personally contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the football program. This recognition is most deserving and long overdue." Simms is one of just eight MSU alumni to play in the NFL and just one of two to ever be drafted. The Giants also had one other MSU alum in their history, tight end Gary Shirk, who played for Big Blue from 1976-82.

Martin Kove removed from Summer Con after allegedly biting 'Cobra Kai' co-star
Martin Kove was forced to leave a fan convention early over the weekend after he allegedly bit one of his co-stars. According to Variety, the 78-year-old "Cobra Kai" star was asked to leave Summer Con in Puyallup, Washington, on Sunday after his co-star in the Netflix series, actress Alicia Hannah-Kim, accused him of grabbing her arm and biting her. According to a report from the Puyallup Police Department, Hannah-Kim, 37, approached an officer in the VIP area after Kove took her arm and bit her "so hard he nearly drew blood," per Variety. He reportedly let go and began kissing her arm where he had bitten her after she cried out in pain. After telling her husband about the incident, the two approached Kove at the fan event together, after which the report stated he "exploded on them, saying something to the effect of how dare they confront him." Hannah-Kim and her husband then reportedly asked the officer to step in. According to the report, Kove then claimed he and Hannah-Kim "play fight all the time on the set of 'Cobra Kai'" and that he was just trying to be "funny." Per the report, the actress told the reporting officer she did not want to file charges against Kove, but that she "wished to have a report filed in case this continues." Kove was then asked to leave the fan event. Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for both Kove and Hannah-Kim for comment. Kove is best known for his portrayal of John Kreese in the 1984 movie, "The Karate Kid." Kreese is the main antagonist of the movie, as he is the owner of the karate studio which teaches its students to have "no mercy." He reprised his role for the Netflix revival series, "Cobra Kai," which picked up 33 years after the events of the original movie. Hannah-Kim joined the show in Season 6, playing Kim Da-Eun, a sensei from South Korea who teams up with Kreese to take down a rival studio, which happens to be owned by Kreese's former student Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka, and his former rival, Daniel LaRusso, played by Ralph Macchio. When speaking with Fox News Digital in February, Kove explained the success of the original movie was because audiences identified with the themes of romance, bullying or feeling like "a fish out of water." He went on to say that the new show introduced a new generation to the film. WATCH: MARTIN KOVE EXPLAINS WHY HE THINKS 'KARATE KID' HAS STAYED SO POPULAR "The kids watch it and then the parents say, 'Hey, would you like to see what we were weaned on, what we loved about these characters?' And it's the same characters as Billy [William Zabka], Ralph [Macchio] and I," he explained. He continued, "So, the parents take the kids, the kids watch the movie. The bottom line is, they loved the movie, and now the parents get hooked on the TV series. So you have all these little [phenomenal] things, these elements of success that people and pictures and TV series, they long for that kind of chemistry." While his character in the original movie was seen as ruthless, he told Fox News Digital that when approached for the show, he "wasn't interested in doing the guy from 'Karate Kid,'" and wanted his character to have "an arc and emotional colors."
