Good lord!

That's easy, David is Ian's half brother

Phils mother was also his auntie

Don't wind me up.

I think that would be because she married Archie who was her former brother-in-law which made him Phil's uncle

Bobby and Denny are now step-cousins...on their own, they're little devils, but now...I dread to think what they could do

Reading this thread has made my head explode.

Spot on, Archie was Phils paternal uncle and he then married Peggy who became Phils auntie by marriage

Yeah it's a lot to take in!

Gavin is both Ben's step father and step grandfather!

No wonder he has issues!

You are right, it's hard keeping track of all the connections

Seriously someone needs to check if they all have webbed feet.

Very true!

There was something to be said for when the incest laws were much stricter and you couldn't marry anybody that had even been a relation even by marriage - such as your ex brother in law, or step father for examples.

Then not only would half the square be facing charges of perverting the course due to Bobby Secret but Incest as well

It doesn't end there either.

Amy Mitchell has two half brothers. James, the son of Ronnie was also Amy's first cousin. Her other half brother is Richard, the son of Sam Mitchell. As Roxy and Sam are first cousins, this makes Amy and Richard second cousins as well as being siblings

I was wrong

Your uncle is your brother,
Your sister is your mother,
They all sleep with eachother,
The Beale-Mitchell family!

Soap operas just couldn't exist in the way we know them!

Huh? Exlain that one to me? Ryan is Lily's father and no relation to Max unless I've missed something?

Whoops!

You're right, I was thinking Bradley was Lily's father. Its not as if they didnt make enough fuss about it at the time

Wow Max being the father of Staceys baby What did they release him for him to impregnate Stacey then put him back in jail

Amy, Richard and James also have another sister, Penny Branning, daughter of Jack and Selina...

Also, there have been other people in the Square who are related to a relative in more than one way. Bianca Butcher. Rebecca is not only her niece, but her second cousin too. Tiffany, Liam and Morgan are Rebecca's first cousins and second cousins once removed. Martin Fowler, Bianca's first cousin once removed, was also her brother in law. Also, Louie is both a paternal and maternal relative of Bianca, her kids and Rebecca as they are related to both Peter and Lauren.

What a weird world Eastenders is.

I need a drink!!!!
