With David gone & Bianca going i think the show should re introduce April Branning for carol so we can see there relationship as sisters. from what i remember of april when she appeared in the show back in the 90's she was a very strong independant woman and she was very close to her sister carol. She was also kind of the leader of the branning clan as she was the oldest girl and always was motherlike. I also think it would be great to see scenes between her and her brother max and dot aswell . I always felt the character left to early and she was one of my favourites at the time ! Currently i think it would be a great time to reintroduce the character maybe recast her who knows she would be about 56 or 57 now

Camille Coduri would be perfect for the role.

Debbie Arnold played her and she was really popular in the role.

April appeared in the 90s. Suzy appeared in the 90s and in 2007. Maggie O'Neil played her in the 00s.

Oh please do not resurrect Susie Branning. Awful character, awful storylines played by a supposedly "good actress" but I found her woeful. Stolen gold bars, anyone? It was like something out of a kids' comedy show.

I wouldn't mind an April return. Carol will be quite isolated in the show with David gone and Bianca going. She has no real friends in the Square, so either an April or Glenda Mitchell return would be good. April could come back for the genetic screening test.

April's surname is not Branning, she married a Greek guy.

Carol still has a lot of family around...Sonia, Rebecca, Max, Lauren, Abi, Dot, and of course her father nearby. I don't think we need another random Branning brought in.

Enough with always telling people what they should or shouldn't post on here.

I think it could be a good idea.

I don't think April can be called random though. She was in it for a year and became one of their more popular characters for the era she was in it. I remember there being reports that the shows bosses were upset when she quit as they had big plans for the character lined up due to Lindsey Coulson deciding to leave but then Debbie Arnold quit herself.

I'm looking forward to Bianca leaving as I think it gives the powers that be the chance to explore Sonia and Carol's relationship. They haven't really had the chance to do this previously so it could be interesting.

No don't bring her back, I don't want a reason for Carol to stay. She could go and live with her sister off screen, though if they couldn't be bothered visiting her when she found out she had cancer they can't be that close.

April Branning did have a fling with nick cotton outide of the square so maybe she could return for him?

I think Sonia's main focus will be getting together with Tina. Carol doesn't have much to do with Mac for weeks on end and hardly any scenes with Lauren and Abi. Neither do we ever see Jim.

April was lovely. One of the few Brannings I actually liked. Much more fun than Carol too.

A poster who joins nearly 2 years ago suddenly starts posting in the last couple of weeks, something doesn't quite add up??

Somebody has to ask the question.

It's called suspicious curiosity, you know like why is Ann Mitchell in regular employment?

Sorry why does the date of my joining matter ? It's a free forum for people to post what they want about soaps.. so i'd appreciate less of the hate thanks this thread is about Eastenders not about me as a person !

Leave the modding to the mods.

It happens all the time, sometimes people prefer to lurk before posting. Doesn't mean there is something sinister going on.

It's not like the poster is trolling either, he/she has created some good threads and is contributing to the board so I cannot see where the problem is.
