    Also, do Abi and Lauren still regard Dot as their grandma, given her marriage to Jim? It seems like a long time since they had any scenes with her.

    Sally Webster (CS) has a sister, who she never mentions now.
    The shopkeeper, whose head Ross (ED) smashed in, was last seen in the intensive care ward at Hotten General, with his distraught wife at his bedside; has anyone thought to enquire about him?
    Ken has numerous children and grandchildren who have disappeared.
    Steve's (CS) twin brother Andy is seldom mentioned.

    I think Liz mentioned Andy a few weeks ago when she went to stay with him, and wanted Steve to go with her. When she returned, she also told Tony about how Andy had said that Steve's lethargic behaviour may be due to a thyroid issue, causing her to book him an appointment at the doctors IIRC?!

    And speaking of The Wicks clan, I was reminded of this seeing Jacqueline Leonard who is now playing Katy and Izzy's estranged mum Linda and back in the late '90s played David Wicks' ex wife Lorraine in Eastenders.

    It's funny how Joe Wicks, Lorraine and David's son and Bianca's half brother has never been mentioned, not even in passing. I know the character had mental health issues but can't remember how he was written out of Eastenders.


    There isn't really anyone to mention them now though is there? He was mentioned multiple times when Pat died, then Karen was mentioned after Lucy died.

    Thankyou, craig_25. Does anyone know why one twin, Andy, was written out of Corrie, and the other twin, Steve, left in?

    Andy was axed back in 1997 from what I believe.

    Can someone remind me what happened to the Butcher's kitten in EE? The one Dereck gave them. Didn't Bianca or Carol say they didn't want it, so who had it then? Did it just get taken back? Did Dereck kill it?

    Did they ever explain what happened to Kim McFarlane in EE? She was relatively minor character in the late 90s/early 00s. Her brother was Mick (not Carter of course) and she was mates with Sonia. Mick went off to pursue his music career but they never officially wrote Kim out. She just disappeared soon after.

    That was Donna Ludlow right?

    Interesting trivia: the actress who played her appeared in Mr Bean as his girlfriend Irma Gobb:D

    sally mentioned her sister Gina tonight and stayed with her when she had cancer but Gina never comes to visit her.
    I love it when past characters pop up for odd episodes like Kirk & Maria's parents came to the wedding. I wish they would do that more often, I'd love to see Mavis come to visit Rita.

    EastEnders:
    - Jay cheating on Abi with that girl from the caravan park.
    - Cindy Jnr stealing Phil's money and getting away with it.
    - Abi was supposed to be going to university, what is she doing now?
    - Alice Branning being a kleptomaniac.
    - Kat's sister Belinda.

    Nobody seems to remember that young girl who moved in with the Masoods, then fell in love with Mas. She was around for quite a while, but I can't even remember her name.

    Her name was Ayesha. She was annoying!

    Jay never cheated on Abi. He only kissed that girl. It doesn't really need to be mentioned or remembered.

    Belinda was always the outside Slater. The underdog. Her lack of mention isn't a shock.

    Alice Branning's klepto moments were only her acting out over the stress with janine and michael. It wasn't something that needed to be explored more.

    Cindy Jr nicking the money was exposed through Peter i believe.

    Abi didn't get the right grades to get into Uni.

    CS: Mary and Norris's obsession with entering competitions. That was how Mary came into the show in the first place. Never mentioned now.

    To be honest I don't actually find this that unrealistic. Thinking of my own friends, they're not always talking about their brothers and sisters; in fact I'm sure I have some where I couldn't tell you whether or not they even have siblings.

    Jimmy King in Emmerdale when Kelly turned up with a five year old boy and claimed it was his, she went away as swiftly as she came and we were never told if it was his kid or not.

    She could bump into les dennis's chatracter, and they'd realise they were siblings, separated at birth.

    I'd also love them to have a visit from Hilda Ogden.

    Sorry, getting off-topic here.

    Elliott's been referred to quite a few times since Kelly left. He came back for a little while without her (she supposed to have dropped him off off-screen) and he's still referred to as Jimmy's son. So I think we're supposed to take it that Jimmy and Nicola either have proof that Elliott is actually his or they're taking Kelly at her word.

    Hmm re Jimmy and Eliot.:D. I do find Jimmy a bit tiresome at times so sort of zone out when he is on.

    But what about Andy Slugden's "life changing" accident to his arm, seems to have got better and has never been mentioned again once he got the compo dosh! Actually, he is such a vile person he does deserve everything that happens to him. Katy had a lucky escape falling down that hole!

    On Home and Away, they brushed the ownership of Summer Bay House under the carpet. They never did clarify whether Sally sold it to Alf, Roo and Marilyn. This annoys me as it's the main house on the show, and also where Sallh grew up so its a big deal if she sold it.
