It's always been hinted that Buster has family, I'm wondering if the new transgender character will be Busters son.

Didn't Buster make reference to something like fathers and their daughters earlier in the year?

The article states that Kyle will be involved in the shows biggest story at the end of the year which is when Dean gets his comeuppance.

It's possible. I think Kyle is linked to someone already on the square ebcause they haven't released his surname. If Kyle did turn out to be Busters son, I wonder if the reason he hasn't seen him was because he couldn't deal with him being transgender? When Dean asked if he had anymore kids, he said no, but when Carol mentioned a daughter, he did seem uncomfortable, in a way. Also there was a conversation he had with Shirley where he was telling her how important family are, and she, in so many words, called him a hypocrite 're his own family, which he confirmed.

I think so too, I would be interested to see Shirley's take on it actually. I think she would actually be more supportive of this. There is a side of Shirley who does actually stand up for the underdog, she was supportive towards Ben initially and she had friendships with Heather and Jean. The thing is, they then go and spoil this aspect of her character by making her doing something else despicable.

I think Mick would be another person who wouldn't have an issue, Linda however can be bigoted and I'm not sure she could understand a woman wanting to become a man. Linda is very much a girly type of woman.

Dean has clear issues with women, giving him a half brother who once was female could make for an interesting dynamic here.

I think Kyle could slot in really well with the Carters actually.

I agree with this.

I think Shirley would be accepting and non-judgemental on this. Shirley may be abrasive, but like you say, she does support the underdog. Her friendships with Jean and Heather displayed this, as well as the support she gave to Ben when he came out. She also supported Johnny when he came out too, when Linda couldn't accept it. Would Shirley already know him? I'm not 100% sure on Buster/Shirley's history post Dean.

I think Mick and Nancy would be accepting as well.

I agree that Linda may struggle to understand it a bit more. It took her quite a period of time to accept Johnny being gay and she can be quite bigoted. It would be in character for her to react negatively to start with. This isn't a bad thing though because it would be true to character and also show a reaction that can often face transgender men/women. I think Lee could react much the same as I believe Linda would to begin with.

If he did turn out to be Busters son, I imagine Buster must have struggled with it and that is why they are estranged?

I was hoping that Buster wouldn't have any 'secret children' so part of me doesn't want Kyle to be, but he has been seen filming with Lacey Turner so could Kyle be involved with the key and Brian?

Maybe Brian was a bigamist and has a whole other family. It would be great for Stacey to have more family.

I agree. I think you might be right! I liked the idea of Buster being a drifter and kind of don't want loads of secret children/families turning up. I'd prefer to meet a sibling of his, or parents.

It would be great to build up Stacey's family, she is quite isolated at the moment!

I agree regarding not wanting Buster to have a secret child, but I'd be willing to make an exception in this case. I think an estrangement over Kyle being transgender would be an interesting storyline, one that is sadly believable.

Mick and Linda's wedding is apparently taking place New Year so I think would be a tad early yet.

They would most likely be filming end of Novemer start of December, as I remember reading they film the xmas episodes in November as all cast and crew have two weeks off at xmas.

Could be, guess it depends on how far ahead they're, the new year stuff sounds pretty heavy with stunts involved.

Very true. I agree. In this instance, I'd be more open to making an exception because of storyline potential, but overall I would rather they didn't go down the secret child route. If that makes sense?

I'm really thinking he must be a half sibling for Stacey going by recent location filming.

In addition, a sibling or parent would be good for Buster. I know I say it a lot but I would like to meet a brother or something. Not a secret one, just a brother.

I guess it's feasible that they are filming the run up to Christmas now? They need to factor in the two week holiday for all cast/crew, like Harlowe said. If they have already fitted Mick up with a wetsuit for new year, I guess filming isn't far off.

I think Kyle will be one of Claudette's foster children, they're still yet to introduce them although having spoken about them for some time. The big storyline towards the end of the year could be Carter related, but if the Les/Claudette secret is leading to something transgender related - this could involve Kyle as one of Claudette's foster family

Surely Buster is on his way out? He's hardly in it anymore. That's usually a good indicator that the writing is on the wall for a character.

I hope not. Buster is a good character, he just needs to be developed. One of the writers tweeted about creating stories for Buster but deleted the tweet a while later, so I don't know what they means. I thought Buster was quiet because Shirley was at the moment. They are both involved in the same storylines, so perhaps Karl Howman has just been on a break? He was filming 6 weeks ago according to the EastEnders instagram page, so hopefully we will see more of him over the next few months. It would be a shame for him to leave because they haven't developed him, explored him and Shirley, or Mick. A lot of character potential and Karl Howman is great for EastEnders. I don't know how long Karl Howman signed on for though or whether he wants to stay on the show long term. Hopefully he will.

I did ask where were Shirley and Buster in a thread a few days ago but I realised Linda Henry is still on her annual break. Karl Howman and Danny Dyer posted a video in EE instragram account and that was 7 weeks ago. Buster isn't credited in the next two weeks so I think he is back in 3 weeks time?

It would be daft if EE bosses axed Buster because he has rejuvenated Shirley and they have so much history together. He is Mick's biological father and he is really popular (according to FB and Twitter).
