EastEnders actor drops hint he's leaving soap after devastating crash
It was a devastating night in EastEnders tonight as Teddy Mitchell and Zack Hudson's car veered off into a lake - and it looks like both are currently in danger
Just months after the devastating loss of Martin Fowler, it looks like EastEnders could be set for another tragedy. In tonight's episode, Teddy Mitchell and Zack Hudson were seen veering off into a lake - and it looks like they both could be in danger. However, it seems like there may be a hint online that Roland Manookian, who plays Teddy could be leaving the soap.
It's been a devastating week for Teddy, as he found out at the end of yesterday's episode that he wasn't the father of his youngest, Barney Mitchell. Zack had been keeping the secret for months, but he finally spilled all to Teddy's son Harry, who revealed the devastating news.
In tonight's episode, Harry knocked Zack unconscious before stuffing him in a boot and driving off. Fearing for what his son was about to do, Teddy hitched a ride with Honey, Billy and Nigel on their way to the cinema, telling them to follow Harry.
As they caught up to him, Teddy removed Zack from the boot, explaining that he was going to take him for a chat. However, a frightened Zack woke up as Teddy was driving and screamed for Teddy to stop the car. He then tried to take over the wheel, causing the car to lose control and veer off into the lake.
Both characters seem to be in danger, but fans aren't so sure Teddy will survive the crash, after noticing a clue on Roland's IMBD page, which shows has upcoming drama The Island Apes.
In the 'upcoming' section on his profile, it says the drama is 'in development' but has no other information or air date.
One eagle eyed fan on Reddit said: "Teddy's actor has a new project coming up on his IMBD. It'd be a shame to lose him so early in the game."
After watching tonight's episode, more fans are certain Teddy will be the one in danger. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one wrote: "I'm still convinced that Teddy dies. What was the point of the Barney paternity twist if they were going to kill Zack off. Also Sharon can't lose another relative #EastEnders."
However, this morning James Farra r, who plays Zack - acted mysterious on This Morning as he was asked if he was going to survive by soap expert Sharon Marshall.
But what will the outcome be? Fans will have to keep watching to find out...

Patsy Palmer leaves British Soap Awards co-stars aghast with Vagina monologue
EastEnders star Patsy Palmer stunned her British Soap Awards co-stars with her very crude speech while on stage as host Jane McDonald was left open mouthed Patsy Palmer had her soap colleagues' jaws on the floor with her crude speech on stage at the British Soap Awards. The EastEnders star picked up the Best Comedy Performance for her role as loudmouth Bianca Butcher. She made an epic comeback to the BBC soap in February as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations. However, Patsy's speech took an unexpected turn when she headed up on stage to collect her award. The glitzy do, which took place over the weekend but aired on TV last night, was hosted by Jane McDonald. She was so stunned by Patsy that she turned to face the camera with an open mouth. The TV favourite kicked off her cheeky speech: "Knock knock. Listen I haven't prepared a speech because I thought Jack [P. Shepherd] was going to win." She continued: "To be able to be funny and all of what we've seen tonight, is nothing short of a miracle really. I want to thank Shona McGarty for leaving, because if she hadn't have left, I wouldn't have come back." Patsy's speech soon took a turn as she admitted: "I wasn't expecting that and I'm so glad I did because I stayed for the 40th and that was really where we celebrated the woman's vagina. The actress then declared: "I think vagina's have always been funny." She was met with both shock and laughter from the audience as she also burst out laughing. However, Michelle Collins, who plays Cindy Beale, looked mortified while Ian Beale actor Adam Woodyatt appeared gobsmacked at Patsy's remark. The reference was, of course, to Sonia Fowler giving birth during the live 40th anniversary episode. Carrying on her speech, Patsy said: "All jokes aside, coming back to EastEnders after quite some time has been the most amazing experience for me. "I'm beyond grateful, I'm not going to cry because it's a comedy award, but you have no idea what a gift it has been for me to come back." When she left the stage, a baffled host Jane said: "I don't know quite what to say. How many times can you say vagina in one speech." Viewers also joked about the reason the award ceremony is not broadcast live as one said: "I mean perhaps they are given how many times Patsy Palmer said the word vagina in her acceptance speech!' Another added: 'I cannot wait to see what parts of Patsy Palmer's vagina tangent makes the tv broadcast.' Someone else commented: 'Happy Patsy Palmer Vagina Speech Day to all who celebrate.' It wasn't the first time Patsy left viewers stunned with her speeches, as some Celebrity Big Brother viewers felt awkward during her exit chat. She didn't seem impressed when quizzed on her clash with Mickey Rourke in the house before he was booted out for his shocking behaviour. Host Will said: "There were a few tricky moments that you had to deal with in there, people complaining about broccoli - that was one, but you seemed to move past that?" Patsy shook her head as she refused to say anything. Will asked: "You don't want to talk about the broccoli?" While Patsy remained silent, AJ added: "Did it upset you that Mickey complained to your face about the food?" She still didn't seem impressed as she responded: "Not really that...," before the hosts agreed to move on from Mickey chat. Hitting back at viewers, Patsy wrote on social media: "There's nothing awkward about silence. It says it all!"

'I was Grange Hill legend Zammo now I'm a locksmith after horror crash ended my dream'
Zammo McGuire had one of the most infamous story lines on Grange Hill after becoming a heroin addicts, but life for the actor after leaving the show took a different turn For a generation of viewers, he was the fresh-faced trouble-prone kid of Grange Hill, but since he graduated, Lee Macdonald's life trajectory took a turn after a nasty accident changed his dream. Ingrained into the memory of a generation who grew up in the 1980s, Lee Macdonald - who played Zammo Mcguire - made his way into houses across the country, and even into the White House as he and some of the cast were invited to Washington DC after Nancy Reagan watched the show. Zammo was the classic 'cheeky chap' youngster with bags of charm but who was easily swayed down the wrong path, but this time it wasn't getting in trouble for getting into a playground scrap. The show known for introducing some of the biggest issues of the time to a young audience had storylines centred around racism, teenage pregnancy, HIV and AIDS, and in this case drug addiction. Zammo's story arc in particular struck with families becoming one of the most popular and controversial stories of the show as he was lured down the path of heroin addiction, leading to the infamous scene of him nearly overdosing when he was found slumped in a toilet. The character became the face of the "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign that swept across the world in the 80s, with the Grange Hill cast even having a top five UK chart hit with their anti-drugs charity track, Just Say No. But after his five-year spell on the show would come to an end in 1987, his time in front of the camera would take a hiatus. Partly something he claims was done due to the damage of the association with drugs, reports Sky. But speaking about his time on the show to The Guardian, he had overwhelmingly positive things to say: "I was doing something I really enjoyed, getting paid for it and I was getting loads of girlfriends. My schoolwork never suffered; I was never bullied at school. It was the best thing I ever did, and if I could do it all again I would.' Instead, he looked to turn his hobby of boxing into a career, however tragedy would strike just years later. When he was 21, Macdonald was left with severe head injuries after being involved in a nasty car crash that rendered his boxing career over before it had even started. But since then he found things outside acting, buying up a locksmith in Surrey in 2000, with his old Grange Hill days coming in useful for mustering up business. He added: 'I went round local estate agents, and they would go: 'Zammo!' A lot of the work now I've got is from it.' His website for the business even has the moniker: 'Just say no to the rest!' But despite the locksmith business paying most of the bills, in more recent years, he's still been popping up on our television screens - most notably with small roles on EastEnders, The Bill and Neighbours. In June last year, the actor also shared his health battle with the world, revealing that he had been diagnosed with skin cancer after spotting an "unusual spot on my face". Posting to social media he added: "As we get older please keep an eye on anything unusual and hopefully get it looked at early!!! Booked in to get it sorted over the next couple of days."

Big EastEnders return as blast from the past confirmed for Elaine
A returning EastEnders character sets off a chain of events that could change the course of Elaine Peacock's (Harriet Thorpe) life next week. Walford is set to welcome back the Queen Vic landlady's former foe Drew Peacock (Paul Clayton) in forthcoming scenes, as he supports her through trouble in her marriage to George Knight (Colin Salmon). Drew made quite the impact when he first appeared in the BBC soap last year, with Elaine's grandson Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) booking him as the drag queen for her hen do, not realising they had a historic connection. It was then revealed that Drew was the lover of Elaine's late husband and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright)'s dad John, with the former having had no idea that her father was gay. While it was initially daggers at dawn between Elaine and Drew, they later laid the ghosts of the past to rest, and he offered her some words of advice ahead of her wedding to George. Six months later, relations between Elaine and George have soured due to the continued presence of his ex-wife Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins). Earlier this week, Elaine was left furious after finding out George had secretly been helping Cindy with her plans for The Albert and caused a scene at the official relaunch party. But just as tensions start to thaw between the couple on Monday, George's son Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) drops the bombshell that his dad went to see his mother, Sabrina, on Christmas night. George then confesses that Sabrina kissed him, but swears he rejected her. However, Elaine is devastated that he's lied again and throws him out of The Vic.
