Apparently there's a lot more to the Les/Claudette storyline and a big reveal is going to lead to more screen time and prominence for the Cokers as a whole. We know that they will be bringing in a trans character, and I know they are introducing one played by a trans actor, but what if that comes about due to the reveal that Les wishes to transition and Claudette is more of a confidante of sorts? I think it would be a great storyline, but this is just speculation at this point. Thoughts anyone?

I've found it difficult to care about the Cokers. Think they will be axed in a year or so.

I don't see that happening. Claudette was quiet nasty to Paul in regards to him being gay ("What do you know about a beautiful woman"), I really don't see her being a confidante to Les about being trans. Claudette seems like a very nasty character all round.

Are you stupid? Of course he's not.

DTC will probably be unable to resist sensationalising things once again by making Les Vincent's dad. However, it seems likely that he is working for Claudette. We've had hints of his dodgy work and also clues that the show is entering a new gangster era.

But Les is going to die in a few weeks on the day of the centenary, so... maybe this whole story is just pointless.

No I don't that is it, I suspect Kat's secret son could possibly be the new trans character if they gonna go ahead last DTC said anything about it, it was early days.

to be fair I could see the Coker family getting the storyline, maybe Pauls bf or something.

Perhaps if Vincent has murdered people Les is paid to get rid of the bodies which is how they all know each other?

That is if DTC was serious about a new gangster era - which has so far consisted of Vincent punching the Philth and bugger all else.

No the new trans character will be played by a trans actor.

No I'm not stupid...just speculating regarding different teasers we have been given and I said it was just a bit of speculation.

Mind you, confirmation: some people on the forum need manners.

I have been thinking this for weeks! I think it would fit the clues that claudett and him have a relationship, she dresses him up! Infirst thought it when they went in there trip to gran canaria for gay pride week! It would be interesting if pan already new and was fine with it, also kinda of makes sense why she reacted mental a few times around les

I think it will work out that Les and Claudette never had an affair at all and he is buying her the gifts, meeting up etc cos she did him a big favour, is a great friend and he owes her big time. I believe she knew he was having an affair or affairs with totally different (off screen women, over the years) and Donna is actually his daughter! He could never reveal it to Pam because it would destroy her. So Claudette actually brought her up making her believe that she was a foster daughter for all those years, when she was the real daughter of Les, she actually helped to keep her friend Les' marriage together maybe had a soft spot for him and liked having a part of him around in her life but would never actually do anything wrong as far as having affair with him herself, because she seeing him with many other women, didn't want to be just another woman to him; but she adores him and was happy to help in keeping his secret. Perhaps they did meet with the intention of having an affair but became good friends, seeming quite a glamorous lady that she wanted more than just an affair and that's all they ever were good friends that share a deep secret, Donna! Perhaps Claudette was the person he could always turn to and be honest with. I don't think it will have anything to do with kat's son, I believe that will be Stacy's brother Sean. I bet as for the trans-character, I bet Paul's partner turns up on the scene, damaging potential things between him and Ben and of course Ben and his girlfriend, making a massive love triangle, making Paul's character more important over the summer and into the autumn as well as of course with him and the Les- Claudette story. Those are just some ideas, I've not been watching Eastenders longer than a couple of months, sadly my mum stopped watching when I was young living at home and other than 1 Christmas special episode about 10 years ago; I haven't watched it since; until started watching again last year, so if I've got some things mixed up please be gentle with me, i'm new around here, although totally hooked and try to catch up with as much as I can through online video clips, the bbc site and Wikipedia! It's great to meet you all on here (digitally at least) by the way!!

Love it! Leslie Coker. Ignore the rudeness. Nothing wrong with a bit of fun speculation.

Also welcome Red Cyan!

I don't think Les Coker will be trans. We're getting a new trans actor to watch and I don't think they'll make Les trans as well. It will be good if we see a trans friend of the new trans character but I don't think it should be or would be Les.

I think Les is Vincent's father or Claudette's brother
I didn't think Vincent was mixed race though.
