    Heathers father walked out on her and her mum when she was a child. Heather never had any contact with him after this point. What if Queenie and Babe killed him and disposed of the body?

    Arrgghh not another murder! :o

    Perhaps they sold a baby?

    Maybe they planned to kill the child and tell Shirley it had died, but something or someone stopped them.

    I do wish people wouldn't attack Annette's looks because Babe is a nasty character. Annette is wonderful.

    Yes. Sylvie said the name Queenie Trott, so it's the same person.

    Mick, Tina, Babe (and probably Sylvie too) are familiar with Heather so it makes sense that they're referring to her mum.

    Apparently so, the actress who played her also played Hyacinth sister on Keeping Up Appearances.

    She played Daisy in Keeping Up Appearances and was also in Santa Claus the movie. Hyacinth was played by Patricia Routledge who was also Hetty Wainthropp.

    I always saw Geoffrey Hughes as being Heathers dad, he played Onslow husband to Daisy in KUA.

    I was thinking the same thing. Or that maybe Babe was Heather's biological mother and Queenie took care of her (not legally adopting Heather).

    Even better, Heather could be one of twins, who was also "adopted" by a family friend, making way for a Cheryl Fergison return!

    Sylvie said if the police had a dig around they'd soon see she was telling the truth (or words to that effect). So there must still be some evidence of whatever it was after all these years, which is making me think a body.

    Yeah but if they did kill the baby they would of gone down for murder so to get another child to cover there back is a possibility im not saying I like the idea it was just an idea , what could they have done to be evil and a shock tho, they might of set up buster to go to prison like they did in hollyoaks with leela and cameron

    Interesting. It would make sense with Sylvie attempting to 'abort' Mick by throwing Shirley down the stairs. However I think it might be something completed unexpected - I hope we see a Queenie return!

    The post your 'correcting' said the actress played Hyacinth's sister so they were right.

    It's a shame Geoffrey Hughes is no longer with us as I could see him in EE (I know he used to be in Corrie years ago so he shouldn't have had a problem appearing in a soap again I would have thought).

    Although we are assuming something went on at the caravan around the time Mick was born it could mean something went on for years there such as back street abortions as suggested.

    I do not think it is murder as Cora made it clear she knows the secret - I am sure if it was so serious she would go to the police.

    I do think it's some sort of abuse long term - perhaps involving Heather - perhaps they used to solicit her to perverts?

    I wonder if they'll bring back Judy Cornwell for another brief spell for this storyline. Heather was constantly being treated like dirt by Queenie. Shirley hated her. This clip is quite funny:

    I was thinking this, it would make sense as Heather certainly hinted she had a lot of issues which were never really explored. She was absolutely terrified of Queenie too, as I recall?

    Sylvie said Babe and Queenie did something evil in the caravan.

    Caravan = chemical toilets. Perhaps they did something dirty in the chemical toilet?

    I don't think Heather will involve heavily in what they did because Shirley would have known, surely? Heather wasn't the type to keep quiet and Shirley would have mentioned if Heather was at the caravan park, imo. Plus Stan also knew, as does Cora now. I dont think it is anything along the lines of child abuse, well not involving Heather anyway. But I do think it's going to be something dark, from what we have seen...

    When do we find out?

    I love Aunt Babe, she is my favourite EE villain for a long while.

    I love her on-screen chemistry between her and Cora; trying to get one-up on each-other. Cora has now left (sadly).

    It'll be good to get a new villain in EE - One who could be Aunt Babe's love child or something?

    Anyhow the actress who plays Aunt Babe is fantastic and deserves an award at the TV Awards for best villain or actress.

    I think it has something to do with Princess Di. .Babe likely claimed she found her on the side of the road and gave her to Linda and Mick. But Di found out the truth, killed Lucy because Lucy knew and both Sylvie and Babe have covered it up. Princess Di is a lot older than what we think. Her pregnancy was a cougar pregnancy, so EE got their first before Erica did on Corrie.

    It can't be murder or child abuse. If Cora knows the same secret, there is no way she wouldn't have shopped them to the police. She was happy to shop Max, so she wouldn't keep Babe's secret.

    So it's got to be something more personal.

    I agree.
