Why do certain people keep citing Derek's (fantasy) children? It was stated during his original appearance in 1996 than he had no wife or children and lived alone (or with his parents, I forget which) and he was supposed to have been in prison for ten years until recently.

Even if had children between his first appearance and going to prison, he must have had almost nothing to do with their upbringing and they'll have been raised by their mother and someone else.

Taking all of this into account, any hypothetical children would be younger than Abbi, and thus very limited in what they'd be able to do.

EE will probably do a bit of retconning. Personally if they want more Branning members they should cast Suzys kids.

He was rumoured to be a Moon brother but that never happened. You know looking back its a shame they didn't cast him!

1) less panto-style villains. I don't care who plays them, but as long as they don't play them panto, I'm good. For shizzle: Derek Branning could be a good character if he didn't do it so damned panto. When he's panto-menacing, I turn off. When's actually menacing, I watch because it's compelling.

So I guess... Less panto actors?

Maybe villains in soap do become panto villains but it doesn't actually have anything to do with the actor playing the part?

Yes in 1996 when he appeared he was shown to be single and still living with his parents (something Carol mocked him for) however in 1999 Jim mentioned to Carol and Dan that Derek was going through a divorce but it must have been a short marriage (under 3 years) but it is possible that he had a child from that marriage but they'd only be about 13 - 14 now. Although they could go down the route of long lost child turns up that he fathered earlier without realising.

Yeah they were great! I like to see people return aswell, it's better than newbies altogether, always good to see some ex-characters.

Why has OP duplicated his own thread? Why is OP posting the same things in this thread as in the old thread?

No. Not at all. When the actor does that stupid thing with his eyebrows, he becomes a panto villain. It isn't necessary. Compare the current Derek Branning's first scene with Pat versus tonight's scene with Pat. First scene: pure panto. Tonight's scene: genuinely chilling.

I would love to see a real Londoner in the shape of the much loved Jim Davidson.
He would be a breath of fresh air with his cheeky grin. The producers could let him write some of his own lines to bring a smile to the faces of the viewers.
Come on EE sign Jim asap and give us all a treat for 2012.
