Thats even worse. Michelle would never turn into someone like Shirley.

Linda Henry also has a look that is all wrong for Michelle.

Was Michelle always happy, jolly, looking on the bright side of life? lol. She was so misreble. Another 10 years after she left, had she lost weight and went a bit grey, she would easily be Shirley the 2nd.

Danny Dyer could then have either played a secret son of Arthur's or Mark who just wanted to escape Walford, or got into debts and did a Kathy.

What are your thoughts?

edit - another poster suggested Michelle returned and got Denise's stories. That could work too but I like Diane Parish. Would the viewers accept a black recast Michelle? anyway, that is where I got this idea from.”

Michelle was Pauline and Arthur's daughter... They were both white.

Dear God no. That would have been the worst mistake in EE casting history.

You can see in this pic how much Shirley could pass for Pauline's daughter.

I have been trying to see how Michelle / Shirley look alike in these.
